A Wooden Legged Chicken.

Higginsville Advance.
r. A. Wells, the photographer, has
a chicken that has attracted no little
attention the past few days, owing to
the fact that one of its legs has been
amputaled between the first and Sec
ond joint and it now gets about on a
wooden leg, which Nc. Wells lngen-
lously devised for its benefit.
The chicken is now about two
months old, Four weeks ago it was
attacked by a rat and came out minus
a leg. Mr.. Wells carefully bandaged
the wound and i; readily healed over,
in the meantime its perambulating
was done on one foot.
After the wound was sufficiently
healed Mr.. Chick was supplied With a
wooden leg which it handles with sur
pri'ing ease and apparently much sat
isfeetion. 1t can now scratch up as
much garden as thought it possessed
two legs.
Mr., Wells h christened it "Park-
er," but just why he should burden 1t
with additional afliction is beyond
explanation.

If it suits the people of Greene
County to have their County Board S
Proceedings go unpublished, when
the law CONSTITUTES that the amount
of taxation you pay is sufficient to
provide for this expense, why The
Herald can wiggle along serenely,
we merely think in justice to you,
that it is VI duty to properly pres
ent the matter, then you are placed

The idea prevalent and circulated
that a newspaper would be reimbur-
sed fully for publishing the Board S
Proceedings gratis by the increased
circulation such would attract for
it is a very erroneous one. To these
knowing ones we want to say we
have tried it both ways and know
whereof we pirate.

HOLOCAUST.

Ere now the readers Of The Herald
have purused from other newspapers
he horrible account of the tragedy
of life and death enactedin Chicago $
largest, most modern and beautiful
playhouse, the Iriquois Theatre,
which not only married the closing of
the year for that great city, but cast
its rejecting cloud of gloom over an
entire sympathetic nation.
In hat vast Coliseum sat IN aud
ence comprising Representatives from
the best social circles of that great
city, enjoying n of the closing
evenings of the Holidays by drink
ing in the dramatic excellencies of
Mr.. Blue Boards Company of Inter
tanners, little did they dream while
reclining ON the richly upholstered
seats of this opulently furnished and
lavishly equipped palace of pleasure,
of their impending doom; gay chatter
and laughter fioated round and up
through the galleries, Chicago's pet
ted children were at their gayest,
when a subtle hush like a pail settled
over the animated throng, that in
describable stiffness which forbodes
disaster lowered about and held
every voice in its tight clasp; a small
jet of flame, a leaping puff of smoke,
a woman's agonizing scream of that
dread cry FIRE, FIRE, broke the
spell. In the twinkling of an eye a
once orderly house was the scene of
one of the most wild and awful pan
demoniums ever known to the human
family-Passive men were changed
into maddened brutes, fighting friend
and foe alike in one crazed rush for
life, crowding and choking the exits
far beyond their capacities, tramp
ling down women and children, crush
ing body and limb beyond recogni-
ton, and pounding with hurrying
and pitiless feet ~quivering flesh, out
of the shape of comedy face and figure
to merest pulp. In ten minutes q
thousand lives were snuffed out,
whole families obliterated. and count
less homes contristated. A carnage
which has eat up column after col
umn of accounts and descriptions in
our press.
A potential lesson is CLEANED from
such a calamitous mishap, that of the
frowning of Providence upon the
Babylonic defiance and disregard o.
modernized Chicago of His laws; 6
second visitation by Fire on this i'll
fated great city of the wrath of the
Almighty, an admonition sweeping
in its broadness and incontroverti-
bleness by the most learned.
Another Pompeiian demonstration
that where mel I panic-stricken
they + but beastly cattle, deafene6
to but one selfish and al ~pervadine
thought, that of their individual
safety. Chicago and her Borrowing
people have no kindlier sympathizer'
than us, u conceptions of hel
than our coincidence.

The Herald is anxious to serve its
patrons by publishing the Proceed
ings,. as it furnishes them informa-
ton about matters of real pressing
interest at times, however the law
wisely foresees that a newspaper
could not be justified in doing as
heavy work as this is, without some
compensation, and places the power
in the hands OF the County Iegisla-
tors to let out said work.

There's one thing that is a dead
moral certainty, if the Herald pub

good service, but not at a song. Had
