Homicide in Logan.

Geo. Burns, 80, a miner employ
ed in the. Yuma mine on Island
creek, up in Logan county. w, Va,
was shot and instantly killed Mon
day night by Deputy Sheriff chas.
Rrazee, the latter being a night
watchman FOR the Yuma Coal &
Coke Company. q
From reports Of the affair 4 II
appears that Brazee was justified In
shooting Burns, as the latter had op'
ened fire on him and aimed 10 kill
but his bullets went wild. Braces
aim was true and the bullet from
his pistol penetrated Burns breast
One Of the bullets fired by Braget
struck Mrs. Burns, but she was no
seriously injured. Brazee in his ca
pacity as deputy sheriff, had gone t
the home Of Burns to quiet III
miner, who was drunk and persiste
in starting trouble, Burns would mr.
allow him to enter the house, an
when the officer persisted, the pistc
battle was commenced.

Reminiscent.

The Gallipolis correspondent of the
Waterways Journal: Capt. John
Thornburg. Of PIT, Pleasant was In
tcwn Wednesday, the 18th, and he
says he remembers that on the Srd
Of April, 1870, when Capt Holloway
was In command Of the Fleetwood
and he was In the office, they had
100000 or more on the boat. when
a. one o'clock in the morning the
vessel caught fire between Ripley
and Maysyille. He had a deck passen-
ger whom they were going TO put
off at Maysyille. He had been I'd
lowed to sit in the hall in front
Of the office and was the first to
discover the fire. Being an old
steamboatman and knowing just
what to do, he ran to the hose
ard turned the water on and ex-
tinguished the fire, and for that
act got a life pass on any Of the
= Gamers OF the Big Sandy line fol
himself and family as long as he
| lived"
It doubtless seems strange TO the
younger generation to read or hear
OF a steamboat on the Ohio river
having 100000 OF more in the office
But this was by no means rare. Ex
press offices were not nearly 30 nun
eIous forty years ago as they ar,
now, and the steamboats, were Vehi

Election Returns.

The way in which the cleo lon re-
turns were received in Louisa on
Tuesday night is due to the skill and
enterprise Of G. A. Nash and w. y.
Vaughan. There had been a couple
Of tall poles erected immdiateiy op-
posite the Big Sandy News office,
and from pole to pole was stretched
a big white banner. In the News ed
itorial room was placed stereop-
tioon. This is owned by Mr..
vaughan, who in connection with Mr.
Nashss operated the machine until
q late hour. AS the returns were
received at the Telegraph office and
carried to the News office by spec,
ial messenger they were copied up,
on glass slides by}Mr. Nash and pro
jected upon the banner across thu
street.
Mr.. Nash is quite handy with pen
Gil and brush and his work wa!
nicely done. He drew very goot
/ pictures of Taft and Bryan AMI
would occasionally vary the program
by casting these pictures upon III
screen. He also made several loca
hits. -. ...E.
A big crowd, noisy and orderly
filled the street and gave vent t
loud shouts and cries as the variou

William II. Taft. Of CiRcinnati. was
elected President last Tuesday, car
Fying nearly all the doubtful states.
The Republican majorlties Of four
years ago IN all States were re-
aneed enormously, but not Bufficient-
N TO turn the States to Bryan. New
York Is the only exception TO this
condition. Indications are that Tafts
majority will exceed Rcoseyelts. In
nat State. Bryan carried Nebraska,
ne city of Lincoln. and his home
precinct; and he gets more gratif-
cation out Of this than any other
part Of the result. Nebraska also
elected a Democratic Governor.
Kentucky gives Bryan about $4,000
majority.
There Is uncertainty as to sew
eal Of the Legislatures which will
choose United States Senators 10
nn vacancies caused by expiration
Of terms OF which rhere are thirty
one. The uncertainty may be sum-
marized as follows:
Colorado: Returns very incom'
plete. The State is probably Demo
cratic.
Indiana. For Taft, but for Gov
ernor Thomas r. Marshall, Democrat
d elected over James f.. Watson,
Idaho: Almost certainly for Taft
Legislature probably Republican
Missouri: For Bryan: For Governo,
Hadley, Republican, is leading Cow
herd, Democrat, by $1,000 on incom
pIete returns
Maryland: In doubt, but probabl'
for Bryan by about 1000, with fou
counties incomplete,
Nevada: Probably for Bryan.

Water and Life.

OF all the conditions preparatory to-
life the presence of water, composed of
oxygen and hydrogen, is at once the
most essential and the most worldwide,
for II, water be present the presence of
other necessary elements is probably
assured. II water exist, that fact goes
bail for the necessary temperature, the
gamut of life being coextensive with
the existence of water as such. 1t is
DO consequentially, life being impossl-
BILE without water. Whatever the plan
ct, this Is of necessity true. But. the
absolute degrees Of temperature with
IN which life can exist vary according
to the mass Of the body, another of the
ways in which mere size tells On the
earth 212 degrees F. limits the range
at the top and 80 degrees F. at the bot
tom in the case Of fresh water, u de-
grees +. In the case of salt. On
smaller planet both limits would be
lowered, the top one the most. On
Mars the boiling point would probably
be about 10 degrees r. Secondly,
from the general initial oneness of their
constituents planet that still pos
sesses water will probably retain the
other substances that are essential to
life-gases, for the reason that water
vapor is next to hydrogen and heium
the lightest of them all, and solids be-
cause their weight would still more
conduce to keep them there. Water.
indeed, acts as solution to the whole
problem.-Professor Lowell's 1.-THE Ev-
