Paradox sf the American Bow.

In America | have been confounded
by the astuteness, the intelligence, and
the zest for knowledge manifested by
boys who are leaving school and about
to enter college or business. They
know, so far as book learning goes,
far more than the average English
boy, but their ignorance of the world
always struck me as astounding

FARMER ACCIDENTALLY
SHOT BY HIS OWN SON
Mr.. T. n. Reed Receives the Load
Which Boy Intended For Flee
ing Rabbit.

PARIS, Kv., Dec. 18.-With the
main artery of his right arm severed
from the effects of load of bird
shot from a gun in the hands of his
seventeen-year-o son. Bernice
Reed, Mr.. I. H. Reed, prominent
Bourbon farmer, residing near Little
Rock, this county, lies at his home in
serious condition.
Mr.. Reed started to go to the res
idence of a neighboring farmer and
was accompanied by his son who
carried a double barreled shotgun.
A rabbit jumped up and the boy pre-
pared to shoot but pulled the trigger
too soon, the contents of the gun
striking Mr.. Reed partly in the back
and, entering from behind, tore their
way through the muscles of the arm.
John Vinson, farmer, was the first
to reach the wounded man and re-
moved him to his home, where medi-
cal aid was summoned, Drs. B. F.
and P. L. Mcclure responding. Mr..
Reed is very weak from the loss Of
blood and it may be necessary to am
putate the arm.

Known to Be Night Rider.
Union City, Tenn, Dec. 1S.-That
]. H. Russell, the first juror selected
in the trial of the eight night riders
charged with the murder Of Captain
Quenton Rankin, is the father of q
known night rider, who will be sum-
moned as witness, was the startling
statement made by the state when
court opened The charge was made
in the form of an affidavit filed by At
torney Caldwell. 1t set forth that
Juror Russell was the father of
Charles Russell, a man who was
sworn into the masked band by one
of the defendants now on trial. Rus
sell admitted he was the father of
young Russell, and was excused by
the court over the protests of the
defense.
Right upon the heels of the sensa-
ton the state threw another bomb
shell into the ranks of the defense,
when 1t held that instead of "a per-
emptory challenges for each of the
eight defendants, the defense, since
the men were being tried jointly, had
only "a for all. Inasmuch as the de-
Tense has used rs challenges already
this contention would force the selec-
ton OF the next IL men who were ac-
ceptable to the state or court.

state Department So considers Dec
iaration Of Gomez.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-vice PresL
dent Gomez's recent declaration that
Venezuela Is In a state Of defense
has been construed in some circles as
meaning state of war. That infer
ence is apparently justified by a dis
patch which has come to the state
department from Paxton Hibben, the
American secretary of legation ar 30
gotta, in the United States OF Colon
bia, transmitting a telegram received
by the minister of foreign affairs Of
that country from Caracas, dated the
14th instant. This telegram says:
'In view Of the blockade established
and the capture of a Venezuelan ves-
sci, the head of the government Of
Venezuela, after assuming extraor-
binary powers for the defense Of the
country, has declared state of war"
The statement of Gomez followed
the news In Caracas of the capture of
the coast guardship Alexis, which he
said was considered a true invasion
of Venezuelan territory and an ag-
gression against the Venezuelan gov
eminent.

william OF Germany Signs Pledge
For Remainder Of Life.
Berlin, Dec. 1S.-Emperor William
has become a teetotaler, according to
semi-officfal announcement that
comes from the Potsdam palace. He
has pledged himself to abstain from
all alcoholic drinks for the rest Of his
life. This decision, his confidants
say, was reached during the recent
reformative period that the emperor
underwent.
Not wishing to compel his courtiers
and dinner guests to follow his ex-
ample, the emperor has had a special
drink concocted which has the color
and fizz Of champagne, but which is
absolutely non-alcoholic
He will drink this on all state oc-
casions and public dinners to avoid
embarrassment.

Jellico, Tenn, Sept. 29.-One of the
bloodiest affairs In the history Of east.

thras p%ostofice Sunday. The scene
was a little Baptist church, within fifty
yards of which is a blind tiger"
which has been operated for months.
The services had closed and nearly
all the congregation had emerged from
the church when a crowd of drunken
men, who had visited the blind tiger"
began firing into the worshipers with
pistols.
John Bennett, J. w. Mckinney and
Edward Thomas were shot down at
the church door and died almost in
stantly. The preacher, Rev. Mr.. Kind,
al shot and MORALLY wounded. An
other worshiper, named Gibson, was
also shot, but is not seriously wound

CHANCE FOR DEMOCRATS.

ling Iowa Legislature.

Des Moines, Sept. 29.-When it is
considered that eighteen Republican
members came to the last legislature
on a majority of less than $50 votes.
the significance Of the present Repub-
lican factional fight over senatorial
nomination in connection with the
regular November election may be ap-
preciated.
The possibility of a Democratic leg
islature is more fully realized when
it is known that the changing Of a
single precinct in nearly forty legis-
lative districts would elect Democratic
members to the legislature.
With such a gain, and holding what
they already have, the Democrats
could overwhelmingly control the
Thirty-third general assembly this

down the seniors colors, when the
members of the senior class opened

The revolvers failed to answer the
purpose and one of the seniors called
for a shotgun, which was handed him
by 9 young woman, and both barrels
of the gun were discharged at Coble.
Part of the first charge struck Co.
