In | this they were unsuccessful It had| fractured ths lower jaw and taken a/| downward course and is supposed to | have lodged in the muscles of the| neck. After dressing his wound he | was taken to the home of his father ia the southeast part of this city. The evidence as to the cause of the shooting is very conflicting but probably grew out of an old political feud, they belonging to different fac tions in the demecratic party. The rumors as to the immediate cause of the shooting is very conflicting and as ove of the principals is unable to make a statemeot and the other, by the advice of his attorneys, re- fuses to talk and the witnesses also refuse to say anything, we will have to wait the preliminary trial set for September 12 to bring out the facts. John and Bud Powell, brothers of the wounded man, armed themselves and taking a buggy started out on the Johnstown rosd in the di rection of Mr. Parker’s home. They met Sheriff Mudd returning with the prisoner and his father. The sheriff says the boys made demonstrations to take his prisoner and he was com pelled to disarm them and bring them to town under arrest. The boys said they went out for the pur pose of seeing that Parker did not evade arrest and to assist the sheriff. The prisoners were all taken be fore Squire Hemstreet. Parker was bound over in the sum of $1,500 to appear for trial next Monday Sept 12th and the Powell's were bound over in the sum of $500 each on the charge of resisting an officer. W.

Chicago, Sept. 1.—The Journal of the American Medica! Association, editei by Dr. John B. Hamilton, will priot to morrow an article by Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas Senn, U.S V, chief of the operating staf with the army in the field entitled |“The Qualifications and Duties of | the Military Surgeon.” | Colonel Senn says that the regular J army surgeons do not compare with | practicioners from civil life. They ' have no competition, he says, and no matter how bright, they fail to advance much after leaving school “It was pot the Medical Depart ment,” says Dr. Senn, “but the arro- gance or stupidity of the Command- ing General of the invading army, | that wes responsible for the exten- | sive outbreak of yellow fever during the Cuban campaign. This experience is sufficient to teach Commanding Generale that it is unsafe in the future to follow such an example, as ao imprudence of this kind, giving rise to inexcusable slaughter and \indescribable suffering, will meet with universal indignation.” Stove Time IS HERE, We invite your attention to ,our large line of new and sec- ond hand cook stoves and | heaters.
