LOCAL BREVITIES.
Word was brought to town about noon
that the body of an unknown man had
been found near the bead of Dry Hol
low this morning. A pistol was found
by bis side and it .is supposed to be a
case of suicide.-- Coroner Butts went out
: to hold the inquest this afternoon, and
had not returned at the hour of going to
press.. The body is said to be that of a
young man.,
' vvitn tne coming of spring quite a
number of buildings will go up. We un
derstand Mr. E. Schaono is to erect
fine residence, and we note that Judge
Bennett is having a lot of work done on
, his lots near the Mill creek bridge, pre
eumably with the intention of building
daring the summer. Several other
buildings are projected, and within a
month or two the building trades will
have quite a rush.
Mr. P. P. McCulIy, the printer, is not
sticking type today, neither is he enjoy
ing a lay-off. This morning as he was
enzegia in Kinaiing tne nre in tne
kitchen stove, and while splitting kind
ling for that purpose, the ax took a
curve on him, aud be chopped the end
off his left thumb. This madequita
change in bis thumbs, for the right one
is now left, and the left one is only part
ly left. It will probably prevent him
working for some time.
Do not forget the illustrated talk by
Professor A. B. Cordley on the "Insect
and Fungus Pests of the Apple, Pear
snd Peach" at the courthouse Thursday
evening, March 18th. The professor
auTibcv mi luusa juiorcaircu lu iruib-gruw-
ing to attend, and to bring with them
samples of insects and pests of diseased
trees for examination. The following
evening at the same hour and place
President H. B. -Miller jrfll deliver a
lecture entitled "Industrial Education."
The lecture will be illustrated by stereop
ticon views of the college and its work.
Both lectures should draw a crowded
house.
The state in . T. Wilson's reeidence
in Ellensbnrg blew up last Friday. Mrs.
Wilson was near the stove when the ac
cident occurred, and sustained painful
but not dangerous injuries. In view of
the destruction wrought in the kitchen,
however, it was a marvelouB escape.
The stove was blown to pieces, and the
room was almost a total wreck. Mrs.
Wilson received prompt attention, and
is rapidly recovering from her injuries.
The waterback in the stove burst last
November, because of ' water having
frozen in it, and the accident last Friday
resulted from a similar cause.
The spring clip of poetry is beginning
to arrive, which leads us to hope that
those simple-minded folk, in so close
touch with nature that her moods are
to them as open a book as to the ground
hog, are not mistaken, and that the rosy
goddess is near at hand. We print the
first wild blossom, so to speak, the first
shearing from the blatant lamb, not be
cause we indorse the sentiments therein
expressed, but just to show that spring,
-with all her beauties, baa some evils in
her train to which the sniffles and lav
ender pants can't hold a candle. The
author of the poem alluded to may es
cape further arrest, and we hope he will.

MISSISSIPPI IS STILL OJt THE BISS
Hundred of
Homes Destroyed by tne
Flood.
Memphis, Tenn., March 15. Rain be
gan falling here shortly after 7 o'clock,
and is coming down in torrents, adding
to the misery . and suffering already
caused by the overflowing of streams.
A citizens' relief committee bos been
organized. Hundreds of bead of stock
and many men, women and children
have been rescued from house and tree
tops in the overflowed districts and
brought to this city by harbor tow boats
with barges attached.
The gauge reads 36.3 feet, a rise of one
foot in 24 hours, and indications point to
a further rise. News comes today of the
partial breaking of the St. Francis levee,
sixty miles above Memphis. Steamer
captains say great additional' suffering
and loss of property will result.
The break in the St. Francis levee at
Nodena, Ark., 'was more serious than
first reported. The water has fallen
twenty-five feet, and rushed upon the
people in the lowlands, behind the levee,
in almost a solid wall. It is expected
manv lives will be; lost.' The steamer
City of Osceola saved many people who
were washed out of their homes by the
water, which went through every
crevice.
a - Tne Flood at Nashville. '
Nashville, Tenn., March 15. The
Cumberland river reached forty-two feet
on the gauge here today. Forty feet is
the danger line. The lowlands 'about
the city are submerged, and many cel
lars of the business houses filled with
water. Families in the threatened dis
tricts are moving' out. Merchants are
taking their goods to the second floors.
The river will certainly reach forty-five,
possibly forty-seven feet.'
Something to Depend On.
Mr, James Jones, of the, drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, 111., in speaking
of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that
last winter bis wife was attacked with
LaGrippe, and her case grew eo serious
that physicians af Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. It seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. . Hav
ing Dr. King's New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she be
gan to get better from the first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured ber Bound
and well. Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is
guaranteed to do this good work. Try
it. Free trial bottles at Biakeley &
Houghton's Drug Store. . . ;5)

A NEGRO BURGLAR.
His Arrest Censes a Bloody Race Blot
- In Birmingham.
Birmingham, Ala., March 14. Two
tragic deaths, a policeman shot and a
small race riot, in which a dozen per
sona were more or less hurt, constituted
the results of a fight which occured in
side of thirty minutes on the' South
Side this afternoon. A burglary was
committed by Will Hunter, a negro.
Policeman Perdue 'was detailed on the
case, ana this afternoon found Hunter
and arrested him. Hunter drew a pistol
and fired, etiking Perdue in the jaw, in
flicting a dangerous wound. The negro
made a break- for liberty, the officer
pursuing, and firing as he ran. After
firing'three shot the officer fell from
exhaustion, bis last Bbot ; wounding
Hunter fatally; It developed after
ward that one of Perdue's shots killed
Myrtle Boland, a 5-year-old girl,' who
was playing in an allev, two blocks away,
When the police finally took Hunter hi
charge, a mob negroes followed, threat
ening to rescue that wounded prisoner,
A number of white men soon appeared,
and a general free fight ensued between
negroes and whites, in which fully i
dozen persons were more or less wound
ed and several negroes badly beaten.

Colcsa, Cal., Vlarch 12. Mrs.- Frank
A. Hoover killed her husband last night
during a quarrel, by striking him on the
head with a piece of grtspipe, and his
death resulted soon after. -4 ' '
Hoover and his wife bad bad numer
ons quarrels, and the neighbors were
long ago made aware of marital differ-
ences in the Hoover household. The
reason generally assigned was jealousy
on the part of the husband. Last eyen-
ing when Hoover returned from his
work he engaged In a quarrel with his
wife at the supper table. The quarrel
was a lively one, and continued until
both left the house to settle the differ
ence in the yard.
Hoover advanced toward his wife
threateningly and to protect herself she
picked up a piece of gaspipe and struck
him behind the
left ear. Hoover fell
dead.
BOSTON'S NEGLECT OF POE.
No Fitting Recognition of His Fame In
In the Whole Country. .
I have mentioned the circumstance
that it has never occurred to the town of
Boston to erect a monument to Poe,
who, next to Franklin, probably has the
most world-wide fame of all the men. of
letters native to that town, and Poe was
connected with Boston not alone by the
important accident of his birth, but
by the commencement there of his lit
erary career, itself an event worth com
memorating. ' So far as I am aware,
Boston never awarded to Poe the honor
which, in, the case of her dead literary
men of eminence, -she sometimes deems
worthy to be taken in lieu of any fur
ther monumental attention, namely,
the calling of a public meeting- by the
mayor, at which addresses are made and
complimentary resolutions adopted.
The name of Poe is, indeed, carved on
the outer walls of the public library
at Boston; so are several hundred other
names. Their purpose is chiefly deco
rative.
However, Boston's neglect in' respect
of Poe was but the neglect of all the
rest of the country. His kindred left
his grave at Baltimore unmarked and
a fund of about $1,000 had to be raised
by public subscription to place above
his ashes the unbeautiful mortuary
monument which now bears his name,
If an enterprising- commercial person
had not hired the cottage in which Poe
lived at Fordham, just out of New lork,
and put up above its door the large
sign "Poe's Laundry," surmounting it
with the "figure of a raven, thereby
arousing the wrath of many people, in
cluding the owner of the cottage, and
shaming them into a protest, it is prob
able that -the poets fame would still
be quite destitute of any public memo
rial. Atlantic. .
Trntlitai Cuuth-uu.
Children are naturally truthful. Na
ture does not lie. Let nothing be done
to alter this happy disposition. Culti
vate in them the love of truth, candor
and the confession, of error. It is la
mentable to think what fearful false
hoods are uttered to deter children, to
keep them quiet, or to make them obedi
ent. Threats of being taken by old men,
and black men, and other like terrors,
are resorted to- by ignorant and foolish
servants to frighten them, and make
them lie still in bed. It is ascertained
that death, fits, idiocy, or insanity have
been the consequences of such inhuman
ity. But, setting aside the probable
chance of such calamities, there are
other certain results. If the child dis
covers the falsehoods practiced upon
him, he becomes boldly indifferent to
the threats, is more disobedient and
willful than ever, disbelieves all that is
said to him, and, finding no respect for
truth in- others, has no regard for it
himself.. Firmness in adhering to prom
ises, or any particular line of discipline
in relation to children, is of first im
portance. N. Y. Ledger.

The difference between a counsel and
queen's counsel or, in the event of
king being on the throne, a K. C. is
that the latter is supposed to be able to
appear as the sovereigns advocate.
Both are entitled to wear wig and
gown; but tne..gown.oi the latter is
silk, and the former is of "stuff." The
queen's counsel can take only what

IS WOMAN A HUMAN BEING?
This Question Was Gravely Discussed at
a Bishop's Council at Macon.
In these latter days of the Nineteenth
century, when woman is struggling for
an equality with men in- the arts and
sciences and in politics, it may be in
teresting to know that as early as the
Sixth century the "woman question"
was a knotty problem confronting the
sages of that period.
It was a more startling question,
however, than that of these days of
safety bicycles and abbreviated skirts.
"Are women human beings?" was the
woman question as formulated in the
Sixth century. .
This startling inquiry was proposed
by a bishop at the council of Macon, and
the reverend fathers were so amiable
and so liberal as to devote several ses
sions to the consideration of the sub
ject. They did not disdain the question
as useless or frivolous, but gravely un
dertook the task of assigning to woman
her proper place in creation.
"With all her faults they loved her
still, and, moved partly, no doubt, by
affection, they generously decided that
she did not belong to the world of "mut
tons, beeves or goats," but was in truth
a human being.
It ' must not be imagined, however,
that this advanced . theory was forced
upon Christendom, says the London
Mail. The council of Macon was not
ecumenical, ' and so churchmen were
not constrained to accept its decision.
WIDOWS IN WASHINGTON.
Is a Gathering Ground Upon Which
Rich Relicts Meet and Scheme.
Especially is it a great place for rich
widows with daughters that peculiar
type of American women- who, as soon
as paterfamilias is comfortably tucked
away under the sod, fly to Europe, spend
years wandering about- like social
Bedouins,then are seized with a romantic
form of homesickness. Bnt they can't
stand Porkopolis and Kalamazoo and
West Jersey after Paris and London and
Vienna, and Washington affords a con
venient stop-gap. It is American in lo
cation, European in habits, and, to a de
gree, in personnel. vSo they come here.

matic corps, and the thing is done, says
the Illustrated American. And Wash

arms the retired trades people from
New York, Chicago and anvwhere else .
on the face of the globe. It reserves the
right of laughing at them, though, and

luncheons, goes home to roar over every

affront to hospitality, but it has- one

NO LONGER A LADY.
She
Had Nursed Her Maid Through
Fever, and 80 Lost Caste.
An amusing instance of class formal
ity was related to mc the other evening
by an intimate friend of the victim,
says a Chicago paper s correspondent.
The lady's maid of Mrs. Benevolent was
stricken down with typhus fever, and
her removal to the hospital was urged
by the family.
But. Mrs. Benevolent, having a great
liking for tne maid, would not listen to
the plan, and declared she would nurse
the girl herself. This she did through a
long illness, and -when the invalid be
came convalescent Mrs. Benevolent, at
her own charge, sent the maid down to
Brighton, that she might benefit by a
cheerful stay by the sea.
After a- sufficient time had elapsed
for her complete restoration to health
the maid was asked by post if she did
not feel able to resume her duties. Her
answer was an expression of gratitude
for the kindness and care she had re
ceived, concluding with the sorrowful
'"regret that I shall not be able to re
turn to your service, as I cannot en
gage myself to one who is not a-lady,
ana, 01 course, no lady would have
nursed and waited upon a servant, as
you nave done in my case."
The Father Names the Child.
The children of the Anois, a people
living in northern Japan, do not re
ceive their name until after they are
five years old. It is the father who then
chooses the name by which the child
is afterward called.

"but you will find the proper tempera
