Runaway Boy Returns.

Some weeks ago We gave an account
of four boys leaving their homes near
Helm, the sons of Mezsrs. Joseph
Thomasson, Eli Chinn and n. VI.
Russell. All the boys returned within
a few days except young Paul Russell,
and his continued absence caused his
parents untold worry, Mr.. Russell
having employed every means 10 OBJ
tain some clew to his Whereabouts.
He was doubtless more worried than
the others, because of the extreme
tender age of the boy,as he was much
younger than the others. After having
sent Mr.. John Johnson, Ieighbor, to
a number of cities and towns in the
southern part of the safe where it
was thought the boy, or some trace
Of him might be found, he had post
card photographs made and also a

Pleasant Surprise.

The Ladies Aid Society of the Bap-

most enjoyable surprise dinner to
Mrs. ]. A. King, one of the members
of the society, on last Tuesday af-
ternoon at three o'clock. The occa-

King is known in Hartford and is the
mother Of r. w. King, the jeweler.
To make the surprise more complete
the members of the scoity did not
assemble at the residence az the reg
ular noon hour. but waited until the
afternoon when Mrs. King had gone
to a neighbors. Naturally she was
greatly surprised when she returned
home, after being sent for. The din
ing table was laden with things most
tempting to the appetite, and the occa.
sion was one long to be remembered
by Mrs. King. All of the children of
Mr.. and Mrs. King were present with
the exception of one daughter, Mrs.
Lola Igleheart, of Oklahoma.

Committee CLOSES
DEAL FOR GRADERS.
Makes Thorough Investigation
of Various Machines Be-
fore Purchasing.

The committee appointed at the
January term of the Fiscal Court to
purchase road graders has closed a
deal for them. The following report
to the Fiscal Court embraces de avis
of the transaction.
To the Fiscal Court of Ohio county:
We, The undersigned, constituting
the committee heretofore appointed
to purchase eight road machines to be
used lin working the roads in Ohio
county, beg leave to report chat af-
ter thorough Investigation of the ma
chimes manufactured by four machine
companies, viz: Perfection Machine
Company, The Austin-Western Ma
chine Company, The Indiana Road Ma
chine Company and the J. ID. Adams
Road Machine Company, We have pur-
chased eight machines from the j. ID.
Adams Company, consideration $250O0
each. We purchased said machines af
ter having seen the various machines
manufactured by these companies OPP
Grated and being satisfied that the
Adams Machine will do the most wor
Of the best class at the least expense
TO the county. We found that said
machines run lighter, move more dirt
and leave the road dn better condi-
ton than either of the other ma
chimes investigated. We also found
hiatt said machines will do a class of
work, to-wit: Widen the roads by
cutting down adjacent banks in a
more satisfactory manner than either
of the other machines and that the
machines purchased were the most
practical machines investigated for
use in Ohio County.
We found that we could purchase
the Austin Machine or the National
Machine at considerable less than
that given for the Adams machine the
Perfection machine being about the
same price as the one purchased, but
we We're of the opinion that the ma
chine purchased would be worth much
more hath the difference in the price
Of the machines to Ohio county.

TORNADO STRIKES
CENTRAL CITY.
Terrific Wind Storm Unroofs
Many Houses snd Smashes
Plate Windows.

Central City, KY, April Sat IL
o'clock this morning tornado struck
Central City causlng much damage
to trees and shrubbery, a property
loss of perhaps $4,000, and injured ore
lady seriously The weather had been
threatening, but just before the wind
struck the town the atmosphere was
clearer than it had been all morning.
In an instant signs were torn from
business houses, and whirled round aid
round until they struck solid OBJ
ject. The roof of the new brick build
ing of S. ]. Gates on Broad street
was partly torn off.
A large metal stack torn from some
building was carried with immence
force straight up Broad street until
it struck the large plate glass window
of the Barnes Mercantile building. The
window was completely demolished.
The roof on the large warehouse Of T.
@. Fortney located on Center street,
was torn off, and the heavy plate glas
windows blown out.
The roof of the barn in which the
handsome bay horses of the Moore
Undertaking establishment were hous-
ed, was blown away and one of the
horses injured The worst damage was
just at the foot of First street as
that street goes into the South Car
rollton and Greenville road.
Two houses of Mrs. Lille Mann
were blown off their foundation ten
feet, and left flat on the ground,
crumbling the chimneys as enough
they were made of sand.
The house of Joe Monaghan was un
rooted, the porch twisted from the
front and the doors broken in. At
the residence of David Nof1singer the
wind lifted the front porch from the
front of the house, carried vt over
the house and deposited directly in til
back. The work was as neatly done
as though by carpenters.
The heavy windows in the front of
the residence of David Salsberg were
destroyed, every particle of the glass
was sucked out into the wind, not
particle of glass was left on the
inside. The small stcrehouse on the
grounds of the Kentucky Midland was
completely demolished, the walls fall
ing out, and the roof dropping in.
Their dwelling was also badly injured.
The most ludicrous feature of the
whole storm was the action of the
large gray horse of DR.. Creel. John
Gates, a fourteen-year-old boy, had
started from the poetoffice, two
blocks distant, and caught the tor
nado on Broad street The horse,
though weighing 1000 pounds, was
caught up and together with buggy
and boy was swung over into q va
cant lot, striking a telephone pole
In its passage and tearing off one
wheel. The boy was dropped on a
pile Of fishing poles, and when the
horse could not reach the ground, It
buck-jumped as fast as 1t could until
finally reaching the ground. 1t START
ed to run, and ran for thirty minutes.

CHICKEN RACES.
The Ridiculous HHen Derby" Insti-
 &,%a4 kxc cf. F.y,o A A.%l>4r

The Ridiculous sHen Derby" Insti-
 tuted by Sir John AstIey. < 1t Is said that the crowning triumph of Sir John Astley, that inventor of absurd contests, whose forte it was to arrange races between animals which nature apparently had made most un- suitable for the purpose, was the in- stitution of the only races that ever took place between chickens.
 The story is that the idea cane to Sir John during visit to friend who kept a large number of hens. He no dced how rapidly the, chickens used to scurry to their mother when food was thrown to her. This furnished the in genious Sir John with a clever notion, and at mess, he then being quartered at Windsor. he accordingly unfolded to his brother officers his plans for a great chicken race.
 He bought from a farmer a hen and a brood of chickens. Each officer was to choose a chicken and mark 1t with a ribbon, so that he could easily recog- nize 1t. The chickens were to be placed
 
 mother, and whichever of them reached her first in answer to her cackle when food was thrown to her was to be ad- judged the winner.
 And so this ridiculous Then Derby" came off in the barracks at Windsor and was witnessed by nearly the whole brigade of guards, who travelled down from London especially to see it.
 The race was such success that 1t was arranged to repeat it the follow ing week It might possibly have be- come a regular institution and rac- Ing stable of chickens might have been added to the attractions at Windsor had not Sir Johns chicken won on each occasion with such ease as to cause suspicion in the minds of his competitors. Indeed, 1t was found, 1t is said, that in both races Sir John had selected sturdy young cockerel who was much too speedy for his sisters. When victory was certainty for one particular competitor the contest, of course, lost interest, and so the chicken races at Windsor came to a sudden end.-New York Herald As

THE OPIUM HABIT.
its Effects as Described by 5iII Nys in His Memoirs.

It's Effects as Described by BiI Nys in > His Memoirs.
 I have always had a horror of opi- ates of all kinds. They are so seductive and so still in their operations. They steal through the blood like wolf on the trail and they seize on the heart with their white fangs till it is still forever.
 Up the Laramie there is a cluster Or ranches at the base of the Medicine Bow, near the north end of Sheep mountain. Well, a young man whom we will call Curtis lived at one of these ranches years ago, and, thougi a quiet, mind-your-own-business fel low who had absolutely no enemies among his companions, hes had the misfortune to incur the wrath of 8 tramp sheepherder. who wayiaid Cur. tis one afternoon and shot him dead as he sat in his buggy. Curtis wasn't armed.
 :. A rancher came into town and tele- graphed ito Curtis father, and then half a dozen citizens went out to helI capture the herder, who had fled to the foothills.
 They didn't get back till toward day break, but they brought the herdel with them. I saw him h the gray of the morning, lying in a coarse gray blanket on the floor of the engine house. He was dead.
 I asked, as a reporter, how he came to his death and they told me, 'Iopium." The murderer had taken poison when he found that escape was impossible.
 I was present at the inquest so that I could report the case. There was very little testimony, but all the evi dence seemed to point to the fact that life was extinct, and verdict of death by his own hand was rendered.
 It was the first opium work I had ever seen. and it aroused my curiosity Death by opium, it seems, leaves 2 dark ring around the neck. I dis not know this before. People who di by opium also tie their hands togethe before they die. This is one of thu eccentricities of opium poisoning tha I have never. seen laid down in tn books.
