ey “Is Ita Boy er Girl?” Harrodsburg, Nov. 19.—Here is one the ladies will enjoy. It is too good tokeep from the dear inno- cents. Your correspondent heard it related in strictest coufidence the other day by a gentleman from Lin- coln county and promised not to tell, and would not do so but for the fact that he knows that he will receive the thanks of all womankind, unless it be the two fair ones who figured in the following incident. They are both ladies prominent in the most refined, religious and so- cial circles to be found in Kentucky and reside not a hundred miles from Stanford. One, whom we will call Mrs. A., was a modest matron, and desiring to have several teeth ex- tracted, called upon her neighbor, Mrs. B., to accompany her to the office of the dentist and help her to get her courage up. Reaching the office presently it was found that Mrs. A.’s courage was ata very low ebb and she was persuaded to test GORE GALORE. Seve Murders Within Four Days. All , ane inan Area of a Hundred i Miles. Ft. Smith, Ark., Nov. 30.—The rapidly increasing lawlessness in Indian Territory is exciting the greatest consideration of government Officials in this city. Advices from Stanley, Choctaw nation, received this evening, tell of a murder in that Village this morning resulting froma quarrel between two white men named Ward and Martin, in which the latter was killed WITH AN AXE. Ward struck Martin with a club, whereupon the latter secured an axe and split Ward’s head open. The dying man drew a pistol, fired sev eral shots and without touching his murderer and died. Martin has armed himself with a shotgun and says he will not try to escape. Unit- Great Beer-Drinkers. From the New York Telegram. Everybody has seen the brewery wagons as they rattle along over the streets, the horses going at a break neck speed, as if it was a case of life and death, and that the latter would occur did they not reach a given point at a certain time. The driver isin nine cases out of ten, a happy looking individual. He is fat and strong, and as he shakes from side to side on his seat, and rubs his eyes to keep awake, the onlooker thinks he must live on the best of the land. A reporter called on an up-town brewer, who employs some sixty drivers, all of them fat and strong, and asked him to tel! the secret of the healthy appearance of the drivers. “Beer wagon driver said he, “eat less and drink more than any other class of people on the face of the earth. They drink beer contin- ually. They drink it mechanically, whether they waut it or not. anu they never refuse a drink. Every ed States Marshall Carroll, of this city, has been wired. SEVEN MURDERS IN FOUR Days. “. This makes the seventh death by violence within a radius one hundred mile during the past four days. The United States jail in this city is crowded with prisoners from the territory, and three murder trials have been in progress to-day before Judge Parker and the United States *jcommissioners. AN OLD FEUD ENDS IN TWO DEATHS. Ft. Smith, Ark., Nov. 30.—Anoth- r Indian territory tragedy was en ted yesterday. It occurred at Antiers, on the Frisco road, in the the efficacy of “laughing gas.” The dentist “had given it to scores of patients; there was not the slightest danger, and he assured Mrs. A. that she would recover from the effects of the gas in a little while and would suffer no pain whatever. With nerves wrought up to the highest tension Mrs. A. took the chair and the dentist began to administer the gas, the effect of which was some- what startling to him and absolute- ly horrifying to Mrs. B. The patient was getting “under the influence” when the fol- lowing dialogue occurred: well Choctaw nations, and was the result a. = ae yrs 7 i of an old feud. Victor M. Locke, a a a - Co ero ee big stockman and merchant at An- | "8°" 7 5 tlers station, was startled from his Mrs. A: “Has the Rochon comely Mrs. B.: “¥es, the doctor is here. breakfast by the entrance into his house of Jack Watts, a Choctaw, and an unknown Indian, with pistols in their hands, evidently bent on murder. Mrs. Locke met the men at the door and felled one of them with a stick of stove wood. Mean- while Mr. Locke had gotten his Win- chester rifle, and, before they could fire, he shot both Indians, killing them almost instantly. (“Here the doctor gets his nippers on a decayed molar and after a few twists and jerks lift it out.) Mrs. A.: “O, my; nobody ever suffered such pains, doctor. Doc tor! will it kill me?” Doctor: “O,no madame. It will soon be over,” as he drops another tooth on the floor.” Mrs. A.: “Where is papa?” At this point, Mrs. B's. veil is drawn fourteen double over her face, and the dentist's face turns as red as a beet, as he drops out the last ugly tooth and sprinkles a little water in the lady's face. Ina greatly relieved voice Mrs. A., still laboring under the delusion, asks: “Is it a boy or girl?” This last query utterly paralyzed the doctor, who made a break for another room, leaving the two ladies alone. Reason soon returned and the ladies, closely veiled, entered their carriage and drove home. It was some time before Mrs. B. communi- cated the happeningsin the dentist's office to Mrs. A., who was so greatly shocked that an illness followed that bade fair at one stage to terminate fatally. The ladies made solemn vows to keep the matter secret. but it soon leaked out—they say— through their husbands. They are thoroughly satisfied with experiment ing with laughing gas, and also are satistied that it affects people in a very singular manner.—Yum Yum. Assaulted With Vitriol. Haverhill, Mass., November 29.— Miss Mamie Mahon, a pretty girl of 18, boards at 78 Duncanstreet. She was dressing for a ball last evening when some one rang the bell and asked for her. The servant asked the visitor to step in, but he declin- ed. She then called Miss Mahon, who then threw a wrap over her shoulders and ran down stairs. As she opened the door the man out- side stepped down the steps to the sidewalk. The next minute the girl gave a fearful shriek and cried out: “Oh! Iam blinded.” Then the noise was heard of glass breaking on the sidewalk, and of some one running rapidly down the street. The unknown stranger had thrown ~a tumbler of vitriol full in the girl's face, and then dashing the glass on the bricks, had made his escape. Miss Mahon's face, hands and neck were terribly burned by the fluid. The glass found in pieces on the sidewalk was 2 common bar room tumbler. The assault is full ot mystery. The servant says the stranger looked like a woman, but may have been a man dressed in a rubber coat or gossamer and wear- ing rubber boots. He held an um- brella before his face, and his voice was disguised by something which he had in his mouth. The police Dave found that an unknown man ~bught some vitrol at Underhill’ drugstore in the afternoon. The clerk cannot describe him, however, since such purchases are frequently made, and he paid no special atten- tion. Miss Mahon is held in high esteem, and says she did not know she had an enemy in the world. It is thought, however, that there is a Jexefomance under the affair. The young lady has a father and living here.

Prima facie, it proposes a choice between drinks or no drinks, but over and above this it means that there is going to be a struggle in which everybody will have to take sides. Itis a homely metaphor derived from the old game of “town ball.” in which the lot for sides was cast by spitting on a chip or 2e “paddle” and tossing it up with the question “wet or dry?” Georg favor, but it i ty of sayiz words wit unele wi gt Jages are!

Each was drinking he could, and the way in which they got outside of 5 or 6 glasses was surprising. “How many glasses a day does as fast as the average driver drink?” he asked. “There is one man there” replied the brewer pointing to a fat jolly- looking German “who drinks about 125 glasses exch day. The average is about 100. They seldom eat a hearty meal. a bite now and then being sutticient to satisfy them. They are seldgm sick and haye no use for a doctor. A Scene of Terror on a Train. Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 29.—There was an exciting time on the Denver and Rio Grand west-bound train yesterday. A Chinaman named Lee Shung locked himself in a closet thirty miles east of Grand Junction, Col, and refused to come out. When the crew changed at Grand Junction the retiring conductor notified the incoming conductor, John Corlisk, of the Chinaman’s presence. Thirty miles west of Grand Junction Brake- man Gannon got on a box and broke in the transom to get the Chinaman out. Suddenly the door opened and Lee Shung sprang out with a knife in his hand and made a lunge at the brakeman, narrowly missing ripping him up. Gannon ran to the next ear. Shung then ran amuck, ter- rorizing the thirty passengers in the car and made a pass with his knife ata woman, but missed. Then he struck at George Heckbridge, laying open his stomach. By this time all in the car were wild with terror. Gannon came in with a drawn revoly- er and shot the Chinaman three times, killing him almost instantly. The train arrived here last evening with the Chinaman, who is supposed to have been a maniac. Heckbridge was taken to the hospital and will die before morning. $500.00 Reward. above reward will be paid tor se ot rheumatism not cured by Ballard’s Snow Liniment where directions are strictly followed.
