Blame Near Broke His Nose

The Rev. Samuel Moore, our be-
loved pastor, had an ezcruciating
experience one night recently which
disfgured his face to such an extent
that he scarcely looks natural.
It must Of been about a. m. that
Mrs. Moore woke her husband up
and said, "S-h-h! I think there is
burglars down stairs, SamuelW
Rev. Moore was for going to sleep
again. He said there wasn't a cent in
the house and the burglars was vel
come to all they could find. Mrs.
Moore, however, was nervous, so at
last the pastor arose and started down
stairs to investigate. He was in his
bare feet and almost broke his toe
on the stair case, but he said moth
ing and proceeded down stairs in the
dark. When he entered the kitchen
with his hands before him he straddled
the door which was standing half
open md the edge Of it struck him fair
and square on the nose, smashing same
against his face and almost breaking
it, as you might say. The parson
then lit lamp. He thinks his nose
must have bled a quart and it panied
him terrible. The noise which Mrs.
NJ. heard was made by the cat, which
had shovel the cover of the milk
lar in the cellar and was helping her
self. Rev. Moore kicked the cat outen
the house, ana after he had bandaged
up his nose and toe returned to bed.
In speaking Of the matter later Rev.
Moore says ne always endeavors TO
lead a Christian life, but if he could
Of cut loose and swore when he run
into that door he thinks it would have
been a great comfort to him. Ne
doubt it would.

rode on one, and would ike to
try his hand at It. Hank says if
1t is any harder to ride a street
car than it is a bisickel once would
be sufficient for him, being as he
tried TO ride Jed Peters bisickel
once and was laid up with a head
ache and sprained wrist for three
days, besides ripping his best
pants so as they was not fit to
wear until they was mended.
Hank is the only person we have
yet found who desires the street
cars to come TO Bingville. and his
reason is ridiculous. The only
treason Hank wishes to see them
come is out of idle curiosity.
Let US rise UP in our might and
protest against the street cars
coming to Bingville. Let the
Board of Health or ANYBODY else
whose business It is pass a ordi-
nance against street cars entering
the town. We don't wish to stand
in the way Of progress and we
don't wish to stand in the way Of
street cars, either-we feel toe
young and coltish to die as vet.

It is rumored that a street car
line Is to be built from the Co.
seat to Hardscrabble, going
through Bingville en- route. Cy
Hoskins was to the Co. seat last
week and learned some Of the par
| ticulars which we secured from
Icy. He says the capital is TO be
furnished by capitalists from Bos-
ton who have a lot Of money which
they don't know what to do with
and have decided to put It into q
street car line as above said.
We have consulted several Of
our citizens about this, and from
the general consensus of opinion
which we have gathered we infer
| that a street car line through
Bingville would be unwelcome
and that Bingville citizens who
have the towns interest at heart
will do all they can to discourage
the project.
What DO we need with a street
car line in our midst, we ask2
We have managed to wiggle along
without a street car line ever since
Bingville was laid out more than
l15O years ago, ard we calldlate
we can continue to wiggle along
without it in the future. Who
wants the quiet and serenity Of
our peaceful town disturbed by
the hoarse noises Of street cars
whizzing right past Our doors5
We pause for reply. Who is
there in our midst who desires
to have their children or their
wives or their sons or daughters,
if they have any, to be run over
and mutilated and killed by street
cars2 You can't hardly pick up
city newspaper nowadays with
out reading a horrible account Of
how some street car has run over
somebody. Do we want that he1e7

Dog Skeer!
Awful COnsteTHashiOn In Our Midst
Caused by'HeGk WinsIOW's Old
"Tige" Dog Who Acted Like
He Was Mad

There was a mad dog scare in
Bingville last Sunday morning which
disturbed the peace and serenity Of
this erstwhile quiet and busting town
and frightened our population so
awful that great many Of them have
not recovered from it yet.
It was Heck Winsiow's old dog
Tige, who lives at the lower end Of
the town that went mad. Tige is a
ornery cur anyhow, and has always
been more or less Of q menace to peo-
pie who pass along the street. Tige
has a habit Of running out and bark
ing at whoever goes by, and If he gets
good chance he lays hold Of them.
Il has only been q few weeks ago that
/ Ras Winters, who lives a mile west on
the pike, walked into Bingville with
two doz. eggs 20 market at Hen
Weathersby's store, and when he
was passing Heck's place Tige run
out and grabbed Ras by the seat Of
the pants and hung on for a quarter
Of mile, when the seat of the pants
give way and Tige went back with
them In his mouth. Ras left trail Of
broken eggs along the road. Next
time Ras saw Heck he told him what
Tige had did to him, and Heck he
laughed and said Tige was only play
ing. Ras allows that if Tige was merely
playing on that occasion he would
hate like sixty to meet the dod-
dinged dog when he was In earnest.
Last Sunday morning Heck noticed
that Tige was terrible hot and IN
comfortable and in a bad humor, so
Heck he up and kicked him often the
front piazza and Tige he turned on
Heck and drove him into the house.
after which he started up Main street
right IN the middle Of the road, frothin
at the mouth and snarlin and growlin
terrible ugly.
People was on their way to church
at the time. Deacon Bradbury saw
Tige coming and he elm cherry tree
in front of Widow SINNERS and hol-
Tered mad dogI" at the top Of his
lungs, The cry passed from lip to
lip and a panick ensued, Jim Harkins
who weighs 312 lbs. and can't run
very fast, started to do the best he
could and tripped hisself and fell
down In the road and just laid there
and hollered bloody murder. But the
dog passed Jim and continued on
down the street to Hen Weathersby's
store where some Of the boys was
setting on the front porch, and when
they saw the dog coming they lit out
acrost the square and begin to climb
trees and fences.
By this time Seth Dewberry, our
heroic town constable, who was shaw
ing hisseif at home heard the excite
ment and rushed out Of the house
with half of his face shaved. When
Seth saw Tige coming he rushed back
into the house and locked the doo-
and after the dog had got away past
tAs house asd Seth felt sure that he
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-08-28

wasn't coming back he run into the
street and bravely pursued the dog
brandishing his razor in one hand and
yelling to the dog to stop.
Yves Woodruff, our hunter & trap
per, heard the hubbub and rahed to
the door and when he saw Tige com
ing and heard people crying mad
dogW IVES snatched his trusty rife
from its peg over the fireplace and
as Tige passed by IVES he took careful
aim and fred.
Yves has made a good many fine
shots in his time, but he calkilates
that he never made a better one than
when he shot at that dog. The bullet
struck Tige right in the neck and he
turned a complete fip-fop in the air
and fell in the dust where he died
almost without a struggle.
After the excitement had cooled
down Heck came along and desired
TO know Of IVES who went and shot
his dog. IVES told Heck he done It
with his rife and would do it again If
it was necessary. They had several
words between them and Heck threat
ened to 60 to law to recover damages
of Of Yves, but no suit has been brought
as vet. Public sentiment is with IVES
in the matter. II Is the general opin-
ion that Tige deserved to die being as
ne was such a ornery Nuns dog and
no good to hissef or to anybody else.
Watch your dogs that they don't
go mad on you. Remember this is
dogdays when a dog is liklier to 20
mad than any other time Of the
year. Nobody wants to get a dose Of
hydrophoby unless they can't help it.

year ago. These figures fully account
for the shortage in exports of wheat,
and raise the question as TO what must
be done with this surplus as the new
crop draws near. All indications point
to a big crop during the coming spring,
and much Of the grain held back may
have to be shipped later on at lower
prices than now current If so, this
too would have an effect in RESTRAINING
gold shipments, Wheat is not the only
product held back by growers for high
prices. Our farmers are possessed with
the idea Of holding on and are fnan-
cially able to do so. The question IS,
viii they carry this policy too far and
bring on a reaction when the new crops
approach?
The most threatening element of the
market is the labor situation. Signs Of
unrest are spreading in many directions,
leaving those who manage industrial
concerns in a state of much uncertainty
as to future plans. The great textile
trades are already more or less embar-
raised by the small margin of profit be
tween raw materials and finished prod
ucts Consumers are seriously object
ing to paving current high prices; hence
retailers and iobbers are reluctant to
stock up with merchandise markets III

Women Promote Exodus.

According to the man from Maka-
well letters were received by Russians
on the Kauai plantation from Nachrin
and another Russian stating that all
adults would receive from $1,000 TO
$500 each and all boys over twelve
wears of age $500 each from the gov
eminent. The women discussed the let
tiers among themselves and then de-
manded that their husbands come to
Honolulu and get the money. To the
Russians $1,000 is a large sum Of money
and in some of the families where
there were as many as four adults the
promised bounty meant life of at
iuence forever after.
Some of the Makawei Russians were
skeptical and several families remain
ed behind after the migratory move
ment to Honolulu began. The other

hind came down. owing TO the impor-
