Eyesight From Wounds.
CINCINNATI, February 26.-George
Cole, of Trautmans station, sustain
ed injuries in fierce battle with a
large Plymouth Rock rooster which
will, in all probability, result in the
loss of his eyesight.
Cole, in the employ of c. j: Sim
monds, was cooping up a lot of chick
ems for market. In one of the coops
he found a large rooster that had
been confined in cage and forgotten
for week. No food or water for
three or four days had stirred VIC
ious spirit in the fowl, and when Cole
reached in the cage it set upon and
attacked him with such fury that he
was for a time unable to beat it off.
Coles right eye was injured. The
lid was torn partly away and the eye
ball itself broken. Blinded by the
blood from his wound, Cole was at the
mercy of the infuriated fowl until
finally able to grasp its neck and
choke it to death. Medical aid was
summoned, and upon examination it
was found that the eye was lost and
that the other eye would be affected.

Muasins Starts For Sanctuary When.
ever He Hears tho Bells.
II. B. Smith Of Monterey, Mass, has
q remarkable bay horse, Muggins,
which appears to have more religious
Instinct than the majority Of animals.
The horse has been used by Mr.. Smith
for the past twenty-five years to draw
the family to the village church. In
the last twenty years there have been
only two Sundays on which Muggins
didn't have to carry some member OF
the family to church. The second oc-
casion was few Sundays ago. A
year ago the horse was turned into the
yard for a little Sunday recreation, and
nothing more was thought of Muggins
until the far distant toll Of the church
bell was heard. Then the horse pricked
up his ears and, realizing that he was
late, started of at quick pace for the
church. He went directly under the
shed and took his accustomed place,
where he remained until it was time to
60 home.
A couple Of weeks ago the horse &C,
complished another remarkable feat
and made his second appearance at the
church alone. Mr.. Smith had placed
Muggins in stall and had left the
stable door slightly ajar. The old bell
tolled exceptionally loud and long, and
Muggins could not resist the call In
some manner he slipped his halter and
made his way from the stable to the
church, where he remained until the
service was over The parson patted
the horse ahectionately as he trotted
ND to the door and then started on his
homeward journey.

The opera house is now connected
on to the lines of the city's electric
light plant, so that electricity can be
used for the moving picture machine

the plant to be a good investment

The Judge Uses Forceful Language.

Judge w. B. Simmons, of Fincastle,
Va, told the reporter that L. & M.
paint was used on his residence in 1882,
and held it's color well for q years; he
furthermore said that 3 years ago he was
induced to use another paint and is sor-
ry he did, because the other paint didn't
make good. The judge will now al
ways use L. & M, because he knows if
any defect exists in L. & M. paint the
house will be repainted for nothing. The
L. & M. zinc hardens the L. & M. white
lead and makes L. & NJ. paint wear like
iron for 10 to Is years. Actual cost of
L. & M. about $1.20 per gallon. Dona-
tions of L. & M. made to churches. Sold

morning by a committee Of the Initia-

Council menlorialize the Legislature
for various enactments.
The petition, presented on behalf OF

tains the following suggestions:
Shall the Mayor ana Council recon-
mend the same system OF assessing

on instead of the entire property as

mdtee, especial stress being laid upon
the matter of bonding the assessors,
