Of these, three were tbe parties in jail Thomp son, Williamson and Chamberlain, and Ott Snmmers; and the other four we understand are parties in tbe Mayville country, all Indicted for gambling. Tbe Chicago Tribune offers this queer advice to the young man who has tbe Klondike erase, as follows: Acquire habit of industry and self-control : be prepared to meet with firmness what ever discouragements may arise; scrape together two or three times as much money for tbe journey aa the best esti mates render necessary, and don't go.

Judge Bradshaw stopped at Olex short time on his return from court at Condon. The judge will be a candidate for re-election next spring. He is the right man In the right place, and every- oofjy in tne uiex country, regardless politics, are with him "tooth and toe nail." The tax pavers all know tbst they nave a friend in Judge Bradshaw and feel sure that no advantage can gained in making a change in tbls im portent office. From what we can learn the same sentiment prevails throughout umtHiii county and also tne enure 7th judicial district. - A Child Lost It Is doubtful if there is anything, ex cept death itself, that strikes such terror and anguish to the heart of a parent as the realisation that their little child has wondered sway and is lost, with dark ness rapidly approaching. Such was tbe experience of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. C. Caldwell at Condon last Friday nigtn, and it was an experience tbat tbey can never forget. About 8 o'clock Friday morning Mr. Caldwell started for hie mother's ranch, 4 miles west of town, to spend the. day at work on the place. Frequently his children follow him to the barn and ask to go along. Several timet be took tbem on bit horse or wagon and allowed them to stay with their grandmother at tbe ranch nntil be returned to town in the evening. About tbe time the father left in the morning the mother missed tbe little 2-year-old boy, Vernon, but felt no alarm, as she thought be had -gone along with bis papa to the ranch' Im agine the feelings, of both when -lie re turned In the evening without the child and bad not seen bim that day. Within a few minutes exerybody in town were bunting for the lost child, but could not find any trace of blm, and nobody in town remembered having seen bim that day. To make matters worse, darkness set in, but every man in town who could rnstle up a lantern wat out over the prairies looking for tbe child, the hunt lasting until after midnight, when the weary hunters returned to town to wait for daylight. . .- About tbis time, Jim Brown came to town from tbe John Palmer ranch, 4 miles southwest of town, where Cooke Bros, crew were threshing, and reported that tbey bad found a lost child, but did not know whose it was. It is need less to add tbat Mr. Caldwell lost no time in going out for bis child. About midnight, Ernest Jonea, one of tbe crew, beard what he thought wat a child cry ing, on the high rocky ridge west of Mr. Palmer's place. He got np and listened, but thought perhaps it might be the noise of a coyote. He aroused the others, and tbey concluded to Investigate, any way. Tbe whole crew started oat, and tbe closer tbey got to the noise the more convinced they were tbat it was a little child crying. Mr. Rodgera wat the first to reach the top and be round tbe poor little fellow lying among the rocks, cry ing as if bis heart was broken. Bill Cooke carried tbe balf-froxen and hungry baby to the house and soon bad bim thawed out and filled np with warm chicken gravy. By tbe time the father reached there tbe little fellow was as lively aa a chipmunk and laughingly told bow he had tried to go out to- his grandma's and lost the way. As no one saw htm, it ia supposed that the little fellow wandered out onto the prairie and aept on waiting unur be became so tired and sleepy that be eank down ex bausted. What worries the little fellow more than anything else is because be lost his bonnet on the way. 'A Frightful Accident Tbe DeMoes Family, at per advertiee- mejit, gave a musical concert at tbe church here Friday night, to a large audience. They wwr billed to show at a number of neighboring tow ns, and left on Saturday morning in their large coach, drawn by four horses, for Uepp- ner. Going down tbe steep hill into Thirty mile, ten miles east of town, loaded shotgun that was tied to the iron railing on top of the coach, jolted loose and slid down in front, bntt foremost, just beside Miss Lissie DeMoss, wbo was sitting on the front seat. When the hammer struck the foot board it went off, almost the entire charge going through tbe fleshy part of ber left leg above the knee, tearing away more than a pound of flesh ; also the fleshy part of ber left hand between tbe thumb and first finger, and lodged in her corset just over the heart, the force of tbe shot hav ing been spent before reaching there, hich was fortunate for her. Several shot grated her temple and left ear, one shot lodging In the ear. Luckily no bone were broken or In jured, and after remarking that she was shot but not fatally,, -ahe climbed, down, alone from the high eeat and got low the coach. Her brothers bathed the ter rible wounds with cold water and after bandaging them as beat they could, so aa to stop the flow of blood, they turned and came back to town as fast aa the horses could run, to place ber under a doctor's care. With the tender care of her two brothers and her two cousins, Mr. Davis and hit sister, the hat so far recovered as to be able to return to ber home at DeMoss Springs, Sherman coun ty, tomorrow or next day. It was a mi raculous escape from death, and she will always carry marks to remind her of the terrible accident. Mr. Henry DeMoss the manager, Informs ns that they ex pect to start about Nov. 1st to fill their engagements In the Eastern states. It is claimed that it costs tbe state for taking convicts to the penitentiary $13, 000 a year, and to convey the insane about $16,000 a year, or in round nam bers for the two jobs nearly $30,000 year, it is proposed to reduce tbe ex pense, several suggestions being made. one of which is to reduce tbe fees, and another to have the work done by reg ular salaried officers, stationed at Salem who will go to the different counties after prisoners and the insane.
