nal, Some Credited. and Some Stolen,
but Nearly All Interesting Reading.

Gently relinquished for period
Of nearly four years, and has
made an excellent record in that
capacity, but in view Of his can
didacy and coming campaign,
he could hardly retain the office.
He expresses the hope that Mr.,
Rubey will be elected by the
Committee to succeed him.
Ed. Williams, alias A. ]. john
son and other assumed names,
who killed John Brinkmann at
Birds Point three weeks ago and
who a few days afterwards kill
ed a man near Mcclure, ILL.,, is in
Jail at Mount Vernon, Lawrence
county, where he killed another
man on Wednesday night of last
week. The murderer is undouht-
edly the same man who is want
ed here and in Illinois for the
crime of murder. The Illinois
authorities offer 5000 reward for
him and it it is said that he is al
so wanted in Michigan where
there is $4,000 reward for him but
the Lawrence county officials
will doubtless refuse to give him
up as he has committed a cold
blooded murder there and it is
quite likely that he will hang in
that county. He is a demon al
most beyond comprehension. He
says that his home is at Madison
vile, KY, and that he is "a years
nf age.-Charleston Courier.
Every man who enters politics

with defeat, at some stage of the
game. In fact, defeats, il not
met with too often, lend interest
in politics. Then, too, when you

the nomination of candidates you
should do so with an understand
ling that your support will be Civ.

BY a bill which was signed by
the president, Henry Dorman of
Liberal, Barton County, Mo-,
who is one hundred and nine
years old, and is thought to be
the oldest living veteran Of the
Civil war, is granted a pension
of $50 a month. Mr.. Dorman
bad been drawing an allowance
from the government of 500 a
month. He served in the Sew
enth Michigan cavalry until
wounded while in action in Vir-
ginia, two years after the war
began. Four sons had enlisted
one dying in Libby prison.
Representative Hackney urged
the passage of the bill by con-
gress. Dorman's name had been
mentioned at a meeting of the
Medal of Honor Legion, when
Maj. Walter Thorn, judge advo-
cate of the legion, decided to in
vestigate his record. He took
the matter up with Mr.. Hackney.
President Roosevelt, signing the
measure, commented on the re-
cord of the old soldier and his
sons.
While out duck hunting Mon
day, Earnest Lester, the 16 year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. W.
Lester of this city, was acciden-
tally shot. Lester who was with
another boy about his own age
were in boat in Big Lake. They
had pulled to the shore and were
lgetting ready to return home,
and in taking the gun from the
boat by catching hold of the
muzzle and pulling it toward him
the hammer of the gun caught
and the gun was discharged, the
contents striking young Lester
in the wrist, neck and breast.
He was at once brought to town
; and taken to DR.. H. l.. Reid's
office, where he was given medi-
cal attention. DR.. Reid tells us
= that he is in serious condition.
The shot tore away much of the
