A Youthful Speculator,

Senator John Sherman made his first
speculation when he waa a boy of six
teen, and it turned out BADLY. At the
age of fourteen he was working for the
Muskfngum Improvement company al
S25 month and at the age of sixteen
was superintendent of an important
part Of the work and had been adj
vanced to $40. During the winter he
was idle, as the canal was closed. II
was at this time that he attempted his
speculation. Salt was very low on the
Muskingum river and very high at Gin
cinnati. So John bought lot of salt,
loaded 1t on scow and started it down
the river All went well until within
one days float of the Ohio river, when
the thermometer went down to zero,
and the scow remained right here for
two long months. Everybody had a
great laugh over the youthful specula-
tor. but he lived long enough TO return
the laugh with interest = st Louis

The Horse Chestnut.

Why the horse chestnut is so called
Is debatable point. but at least one
possible explanation of the name may
be found in peculiar characteristic
of the tree. If, when it is mature. a
leaf be broken off Clearly at the point
where its stem joins the branch, 1t will
be discovered that the base of the
stem is the exact shape of horses
hoof. and if one looks further one will
see plainly marked upon the 'shoof"
the nail marks of the horses shoe. The
similitude of hoof and nails is at least
remarkable. 1t might be supposed, in
reference to the name of this tree, that
horses were fond of the fruit. but one
believes that this is not the case,
nor does any other creature, except
perhaps the rat or mouse. attempt to
eat this natural and abundant product.

The Morning Star ran three precar-

one more instance of the folly of
trying to force a new paper upon a
community where the field is amply
covered. There never was a field for
morning paper here. nor any de-
mand for one among the people who

of fact, the business men of the city
decidedly object to the double tax
that two newspapers impose. In q

newspapers are needed no more than
two telephone systems. The mer-

WHILE ENTERING
HOME Of J. |. HILL

Western Union Telegraph Co.. last
night shot and killed a negro VINO
was in the act of entering his home
at 312 South New York avenue, the
shooting taking place about 1880
p. m.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hill were awakened
by noise in the front of the house
and also one in the rear. The front
room is occupied by railroad man
who was not at home, and one he
gro was heard in that room and also
another on the back porch. Mr.. Hill
decided he would settle the opera
lions OF the one in the rear first, and
he shot at him through a window,
with the result that he was killed
almost instantly. The other negro
made his escape. It is rumored that
there were four negroes in the par
ty, two being on watch. but this has
not been verified.
After the shooting the police were
notified, and Night Marshals Woods
and Duggan were soon on the scene,
but the dead negro was all that
could be found. the remainder hav-
ing fled. After hearing the circum-
stances, an inquest was deemed un-
necessary, as Mr.. Hill was acting in
the defense of his family and their
The negro was unknown
here, and it is the general opinion
that he was one of a gang of thieves
that had just struck town.
The negro was buried this morn
