The Boy Who Loafs.

A few days ago very sensible
young lady friend of ours, and by the
way about all the young ladies in
Great Bend are sensible, remarked
that there were ever so many nice
looking young men in this city, but
they did not seem to have any legiti-
mate or visible means Of support, and
what a pity it was.
She spoke the truth. You may 60
dowr the street almost any day and
find some very nice, intelligent look.
ing and smart young men on the
street, who are at the same haunts
about all the time. They do not seem
to be ever at work, but are always
well dressed and seem to have a little
change in their pockets.
But, are they the kind to tie to!
Would a father or mother not rather
have their daughter marry boy who
had reputation of being at work
even though he did not always veal
the very best clothes, and who wa:
not on the streets all the timer W.
think they would. This is no sermon
or no criticism Of any boy, but a few
cold facts.

half of the s7,OOOOOO appropriated for
the payment of the friars lands in the
Philippines has been paid out to the
Cathalic orders and the title to the
land has passed to the Philippine gov

through London banks. The Vatican
authorities desired that il be placed
TO the credit of the church in Manila,
so that the funds might be used for
the benefit Of the Catholic establish

have been done but for the fact that
the titles to the land acquired was in
religious orders, and as they insisted
on collecting the money themselves

Fatally Shot.

Information reached Norfolk yester'
day of tragedy at Pungo, in remote
section of Princess Anne county, late
Saturday night. w. II. Davis was IA
tally shot, it is alleged, BY John j. Daw-
lev, who was his intimate friend. Fol-
lowing the shooting Dawley, it is charg'
ed sci fire to his fathers barn and was
seriously burned in escaping from the
flames.
Davis, upon returning in his buggy
from lodge meeting, stopped at Daw-
Lewis store. where he found young Daw-
ley, the proprietor's son. 1t is alleged
that Dawley had been drinking and had
quarreled with his father. Dawley con-
sented to 90 home with Davis in the lat
ter's buggy, but insisted that a revolver
which was taken from him earlier in the
evening be returned.
Davis aud Dawley left the store to-
getber and shortly afterward Davis re-
turned the revolver to Dawley, who,
it is alleged, without warning or cause,
fred two bullets into the man sitting
beside him. The two men fought des-
perately for possession of the weapon,
which was wrested from Dawley's grip
bv the wounded man, who threw it into
the road. Dawley leaped from the bug
gy. but as he did so he whipped up the
horse, causing The frightened animal to
run away.
z, Davis succeeded in refining the horse
and drove to the home of friend, who
carried him to a physician, but too late
to save bis life.
Dawley returned to his home and went
into the barn. which was shortly alter
ward set on fire and burned TO the GROUND,
Davis's alleged slayer having a narrow
escape from cremation.
s. Before he died Davis, who is much
older than Dawley, who is twenty-five
years old, pleaded that charitable con-
struction be put upon Dawley's deed.
Dawley is held prisoner at his home
under guard. He is in such condition
that his removal to Jail was deemed un-
wise.
