Arnold, of Summit township, Wednesday last. It was peculiarly sad from the fact that only a short time before her death she gave a still birth and for several days she lay in a precarious condition but by the skillful treatment of her physi- cian and good nursing she began to improve rapidly and hopes of her re- covery brightened daily, and the family were assured that if no un- forseen trouble occurred she would get well. Onthe day of her death the doctor was present, and in the act of bandaging one of her limbs for a disease commonly called milk leg, and without a moments warning and wholly unexpected, she placed her hand over her heart and with the words “Oh, doctor my heart,” expired instantly. The cause of her death is attributed to “heart clot.” Mrs. Arnold was about 27 years old, anda highlyrespectedlady. Her re- mains were brought to Butler Thursday and after placing the babe, which had been preserved in alcohol, in the coffin with its mother both were shipped to Minniville, Clay county, for burial. The family have the sympathies of the community. Special attention given to horse shoeing at the Star Shop, Southeast corner square. Jack Gipsoy.

Dur- ing the day Mrs. Young visited a fortune teller who told her to cut a finger and put three drops of her blood in something that her hus- band would drink. She said this would prove a sure preventative of his leaving her. Mrs. Young this morning gave acup containing the gory draught, to one of the waiters where they board. She told her to give Young his coffee in that cup. The waitress becoming alarmed no- tified the police that a woman was trying to poison her husband.

The boy acci- dently fell on the saw which cut the abbomen open, exposing the bowels and at the same time the blow of the saw threw him about 30 feet against a log, killing him at once. Clinton, Mo., July 29.—The Ad- voeate of this city changed hands again yesterday, reverting back to S. C. Mace, its former owner, who some three or four months ago sold it to George W. Benedict. It came into the hands of Mr. Mace by vir- tue of a deed of trust held on the property, Benedict never having made the first payment. Mr. Mace will take only tempo- rary charge of the paper, until the consumation of a trade which is now being considered. The Advocate is the organ of the Republican party of the county. James Hawkins, boy twelve years of age. living with his parents 14 miles west of Metz, Vernon county, accidentally shot himself a day or so since, while care- lessly playing with an old rusty pis- tol. the ball entered the fleshy part of the arm above the elbow, passing through to the opposite side when it lodged just under the skin. For fear of his parents chastising him, he endeavored to conceal the acci- dent, and with his pocket knife per- formed a surgical operation by cut- ting out the bullet. The lad was getting along very well at last re- ports, but the wound is causing him considerable pain. Heisa brother of Mrs. C. P. Jones of this city. —Rich Hill Herald. The Mail's attention was called this morning to a fact that is of im portance to everybody. It will be remembered that recently a greenish worm appeared by the thousands and stripped the maple trees of their foliage. Investigation has pro ven that they are the product of an egg deposited by a miller—a white fly—with a blueish streak upon its wings. These flies appear about 4 o'clock of an evening and we are ad- vised that the re-appearance of this worm can be prevented by the killing off of these flies. Let everybody act upon the suggestion. A number of our citizens have noticed these insects lately and have destroyed them.—Nevada Mail. a young Go to the Star Blacksmith Shop and get your tire set. Jack Gipson, Proprietor. The resolutons passed in the vi- cinity of Rockville, and going the rounds of the papers, condemning prosecuting attorney Jackson of Bates county, for his conduct in the recent killing at that place, in which young Anderson figured as the chief actor, savors very strongly of an at- tempt to try the case out of court, so far as creating public sentiment is concerned. In fact as the occurrence happened some months ago, and sim- ilar resolutions were at once sent broad cast it would seem there is a systematic effort by designing par- ties, not consistent with public duty. Billy O. Jackson never failed to do his duty. But evidently there are others who think their duty lies in an endeavor to use strikers in their effort to attain success but not for the promotion of peace and the al- laying of bad feeling.—Henry Coun- ty Democrat. ee An Important Element.

The basket meeting held by the Quakers last Sunday at Connell grove was fairly attended. Several farmers around here offer their land for sale at a very reason- able price. Several young folks enjoyed them- selves at the residence of Parson Lewis last Sunday eve. Miss Page, who has been visiting Mrs. Gen. Shelby, has returned to her home in Lafayette county. There will be a Sunday school picnic at McCory grove about Aug. 19th. Several schools will take part and a happy time is expected. Ev- erybody invited. Rev.

The Ice Cream supper given by Mr. and Mrs. Chambers was a grand affair. We will only give it a short notice for fear of trespassing on the Editor's time and space. The re- freshments served consisted of ice cream, lemonade cakes and other viands.

At noon there was a sumptuous dinner spread by the ladies in a beautiful locust grove and tothat every one did justice. The woods rung with bright repartee and gay laughter. The crowd dispersed at a late hour voting it to be one of } ness the most pleasant episodes that had ever crossed their checkered career, and desire to extend their thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Hackler for their kind- ness and courtesy extended through the day. They threw their doors open and made one and all welcome to their house, which is within it- self one of the most picturesque and romantic spots in the Southwest. The day was memorable and will never be forgotten by those present. Brownie. Spruce Leaves. Hot is putting the thing too mild, therefore we will not try to describe the weather. A good rain just missed us Satur- day. The pienic at Oak Hill, Saturday, was a grand success. There were over four hundred Sunday School scholars in attendance, besides at least that many others. The schools represented were Lucas, Bethel, Fairview, Walnut Grove, Johnstown, Mayesburg and Oak Hill. Address- es were listened to from Rev's. Clen- ny, of Clinton, Russel, of Appleton City, Phillips, of Montrose, and Gragg, of Camp Branch. The af- fair was one long to be remembered by the Sunday School folks in this neighborhood. Mrs. W.
