Summit Items. \ Did we hear some one say the weather is yet very unfavorable for farm work generally? John Radford is now on the mail route from Johnstown to Butler and earries our mail very promptly. Oats, not cut, are about 4 shattered out and those cut are about } rotten so who are the ones having the ad- vantage. Flax is yet all right but some pieces or fields are getting green with weeds. Some corn fields are also getting pretty well sodded with grass &c. Miss Johnnie Shutt was visiting in Summit last week. We reached home on the evening of the Fourth from Butler, where we went to hear the Ragle scream and witness one of the grandest celebra- tions ever our pleasure to see, with- out any accidents, but had some very high waters to cross. he only thing we witnessed on that day which we did not approve of was the merchants keeping their doors closed during the storm, until the appointed hour, and the women and children with what shelter they could get under the awanings to take care of themselves as best they could. Mr. Womack deserves credit, for one, {for his magnanimous spirit in open- ing up hiss tore. Yes, Mr Editor, you are right in your article on secret organizationsiu politics. We have experienced and know too well about such side shows. | If the people can’t come out openly and boldly and fight their battles for silver or any other issue that present itself withont secret organization, it deserves to be relegated to the rear in politics. We hope the people of this county, when such fellows come around as those secret organizers, willsend them on and treat them as a class of tramps without any visable means of support and not worthy of notice by an intelligent and enlighten- ed people. We are all for silver out this way and are not ashamed of our position and don’t need any secret order in our business of politics. We noticed in the committee pro- ceedings on the 4th that five com- mitteemen wished to go on record against a silver convention and that Summit’s representive was among that number, Sueh action as this is the trouble and what is making nec- cessary the great,agitation of certain question on the political parties to day. We have been misrepresented by a sufficient number of men select- ed to legislate for us, and by such, good laws have been repealed and vicious ones enacted in their stead and not until the peoples representa- tives learn to work and vote for the interest{of those they represent, will the necessity of such agitation cease. If every district and state could have such representatives in congress as Judge DeArmond this country would be redeemed and on the high- way to prosperity again if by repres- enting the will of the people by their represtatives in congress would place us there, @ Every representative, knowing the will of his constituents, shouldcarry out so much as in his power lies that will and whenever a wan fails in that duty he is not a fit person to repres- ent any section or locality in the body politic or otherwise. We feel proud of our congressional representative and could not safely risk the chance of a change, so long 4s we are so ably and honestly repre- serted as now by Judge DeArmond. NIx.

When they awoke this morning ina spirit of fun, Kirkman reached out of bed and secured a winchester shotgun. “Tl put a bullet in you, George,” he said jokularly, at the same time pretending to take aim. Maeckel grabbed the gun. He thought it was not loaded but it was. “T'll turn the tables on you Theo,” he said, and he squinted his eye on the sights. Then he pulled the the trigger and was horritied to hear the gun go off with a stunning re- port, and see an ugly wound gaping in Kirkman’s right temple. The whole charge had torn through his brain. It was fully a minute before Maeckel could realize what he had done, and then as he saw the blood and brains oozing out of his friends wound and heard his pitiful moans he became frantic with grief and it is thought will lose his mind. Help was summoned, but nothing could be done and Kirkman died at 2:15 this afternoon. Maeckel was placed under arrest by the town marshal. A report received late to-night bas it that Maeckel in his frenzy of grief had committed suicide. Resuit of the Wilson Bill.
