NIGHT PRoWLER IS
SHOT BY MRS. REID

Jack Parker, a man who has
caused some trouble in the past on
account of his crazy actions. was shot
in the shoulder about two o'clock
this morning by Mrs. Mollie Reid
after Parker had attempted to break
into Mrs. Reid's rooming house.
Parker is now in the hospital
where he is receiving medical atten-
tion.
Several months ago Parker was
judged as to his sanity after he had
been taken in by officers for throw
ing rocks as people. He was turned
loose and advised to leave town. He
did this, and only recently returned.

them passed and will enter upon
their new duties before very long.
The heavy rain storm we had the
latter part of last week caused con-
siderable damage in some localities, |
nearly all the farmers in Eight Mile |
suffering more or less. Some of |
them lost their outbuildings, some
their windmills and some of them
their, farming implements. c. j.
Anderson lost eighty sacks of cement
and bunch of shingles which he
was going to use in building his new
house. Aaron Peterson's wind mill
took legs and walked down to Jere
Barlow's and Dick McElligott had
his hen house and about 400 fouls
washed out of existence. We guess
Leonard Carlson must have been a
lucky man as two days prior to the
big rain he moved his meat, about
two hundred pounds, from the smoke
house to the cellar. The smoke housei
was washed away. Mr.. Carlson says
the water must have been the highest
it ever was in that locality for the
smoke house had stood there for 25
years and the water had never got
anywhere near it before. We heard
someone lost an automobile but We
do not know whether this account is
correct or not.

Napoleon as a Cadet.

When Napoleon was young cadet ne went on one occasion to witness the ascent of q balloon in the Champ de Mars. He entered, unperceived, the 1nclosure which contained the balloon. which was then very nearly full and about to ascend, and requested the aeronaut to allow him to enter tbe 'ear. Tho request however, was re-. fused, the reason given being that the feeltngssof the boy might embarrass the hsronnut. 'Though am young, I fear neither the powers of earth nor Of the air!" Bonaparte Is reported to have exclaimed. On being requested to retire, the little cadet, anraged at the rerns1i, drew his sword, and, slit
 lhg t5e balloon in several places. de- stroyrd tac apparatus which had been constructed with infinite labor ard in- genusiy. Such was Napoleon's first and last attempt to ascend in balloon.

KNITTING CLASSES
 BUT NO YARN ON HAND
Wholesalers Will Not Send Supply to Local Chapters-Limited Supply
 of Knitting Instructions Received.

Several classes for knitting woolen sweaters, mufflera, wristlets and sox for American soldiers in France, have been organized by the local Red Cross chapter, but the supply of yarn is wofully short
 Mrs. Mildred Haizlip. chairman of the sewing room, who has charge of the knitting department, said that sine has been unable to get supply of yarn from the distributing depart ment of the Red Cross at St. Louis, and her efforts to obtain supply end ed in a severe disappointment. She tried a wholesale house in Philadel- phia, but was informed they only sold to retailers
 Local merchants are making every effort to supply the demand, and are doing their best, but there is call on every hand, and the material is hard to get.
 Notwithstanding the inadequate sup ply of yarn the ladies are devoting themselves to the work. T.le teach CTS are using what material they have for work in the classes, giving instructions to those who wish to learn, and a very large number wish to acquire the art.
 Mrs. Haizlip yesterday received a limited supply of pamphlets giving in- structions for knitting sweaters, muf- flers, helmets, soX, wristlets, wash cloths and bottle covers
 The instructions are sent out by the American Red Cross Woman's bureau, Washington, D. c. They show the number of needle that is required for each article, give explicit direc tions as to how the knitting should be done, and what to avoid.

NEW MEMBER OF BRITISH CABINET
 WELL QUALIFIED
George Barnes, Considered Most Capable Man, Was
 Railroad Engineer.

London. Sept. 1.-George Barnes acceptance of the prime minister's in vitation to accept a permanent place
 in the British war cabinet consti tutes another "leg-up" for the cause of organized labor of Great Britain As is already known. Mr. Barnes, who has been minister of pensions. occu- pied MT. HendersOn's position in the war cabinet during the latter's ab- sence in Russia.
 What MT. Barnes docs not know about the vast army of British work CTS is not worth knowing. Quite a self-made man, he entered parliament ten years ago. He began life as a jute factory hand. While still in his teens he entered the ranks of the en- gineers, came to London, and after his work in the daytime studied at nights classes. Step by step he rose, and eventually became secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Engi- neers-the blue ribbon" of the trade union world. He did much to promote the prosperity and maintain the tra- ditions of this powerful organization. Of an extremely retiring disposition, MT. Barnes is regarded as the best taciturn politician at St. Stephens, but those who know him recognize him as one of the ablest leaders of the Labor party. F @&.
