A Nebraska correspondent says:
Morris Neal, champion checker player of
Nebraska, defeated County Supt. I. W.
Morrison, who lays claim to being the
champion ot Forest county, in a series of
games at Nebraska on Monday evening.
Supt. Morrison was not In It with tbe
Nebraska phenomenon. Neal white
washed tbe professor In tbe first two
games, made tbe third a draw, and In tbe
fourth the professor threw up the sponge
with four men ou tbe board to Neal's
seven. Tbe people of Nebraska claim
that Neal can beat anyone in the county.
As an evidence of the promptitude
with which tbe Chinese do things we copy
the following paragraph from an Eugllsb
paper published at Hankow, China, of
last November: "In consequence of tbe
deaths of both H.I.M. the Emperor and
the Empress Dowager, a proclamation
was issued yesterday by the Viceroy at
Wuchang to notify tbe public to keep
quiet and should any one be found to
create disturbanco be will be shot at
once." Now, tbat'a an order with tbe
hair on, and it Is not likely there were
any boisterous demonstrations while the
funeral procession was passing at least.
While raffling or chancing off articles
of more or less value is not a daily occur
rence in Forest county, it is oommou
enough to make It worth while to call the
attention of persons who engsge In that
sort of thing to the fact that tbe Lanka
waorrtfoounty court recently fined a man
$o0 for raffling off a calf. Tbe law forbids
tbe selling of cbanoes on any article as
well as rallling. Tbe only reason those
engaged In either escape fine or imprison
ment is because nobody takes tbe trouble
to enforce the law. Somebody is going to
be picked up eventually by a pergonal
enemy or by a more than ordinarily vir
tuous individual, for tbe same law rules
In all counties.
And now the city council of Franklin
has voted a resolve to investigate Itself,
ugly stories ol grafting having come to
the councilmanlo ears which tbey desire
to have Btraigbtened, proved or disposed
of in some sort of way. Mayor Emery
has joined in tbe desire for Investigation,
and says tbe probe is to be applied to all
officials, himself Included. Ginger bluet
but we'd bate to believe there bas been
grafting in tbe "Nursery." Howeyer,
hew to the line, gentlemen, and let the
chips fall where they may; even into tbe
mouth ol French creek, and if tbey
should olog up the sluggish old stream
let her be dammed aud overflow.
'Twouldn't hurt the whole county to get
a good washing out, maybe.
- Quite a little excitement was aroused
in Clarion a few days sgo by tbe report of
another shooting case in the north end of
tbe county, but upon Investigation it was
found not to be a serious case, fortunate
Iy. Tbe story goes that George Agnew,
of Leei er, and Amos Walton, of near
Marienvllle, bad been In tbe last named
town Thursday of laut week and report
from that place alleges that they had
been drinking. It is stated they went
out to Walton's bouse and bad a pin of
alcohol, which they were drinking. Some
discussion arose and Walton got down oil
a sholfa revolver, and while tbe two were
tusseling for possession it was accidental
ly discharged tbe bullet striking Agnew
in tbe side and making a painful but not
serious wound. Agnew is all right again.
Just such circumstances, however, fre
quently result more seriously. Clarion

of tbo Salvation Army work hard and
continuously, depriving themselves of all
luxuries and many necessities tbat they
may bestow their labors of love on tbe
unfortunate, and are tireless In their en
deavors to lift up the fallen, and it is bard
to understand how one could fall so low
as to engage In the despicable work of

Murder in First Degree.
Alton V, Hover, on trial for the mur
der of bis young wife, Cora Hover, was
convicted of first degree murder in the
Crawford county court at Meadville, Sat
urday. The trial was oue of tbe most
sensational ever before tbe courts of that
county, having consumed over two weeks
of time, and over 150 witnesses were ex
amined. Tbe Hovers lived at Atlantic, a
Braall town about ten miles from Mead
ville, and tbe crime was committed on
tbe 27th of November last. Tbe couple
had been married about two years, and
were well connected, but tbe husband
became abusive, and while bis wife was
at a neighbors be called her out and as
she stepped out on the porju closing tbe
door behind ber, be shot ber three times.
She was taken to a Cleveland hospital
where, after 30 days, she died from her
injuries. Tbe crime was wholly without
possibility of explanation, there being
no justification nor aggravating cause
olaimed In bis behalf, and bis counsel had
but one line of defense available in
sanity. This plea was In no way (sus
tained, aud it developed that Hover was
not and never bad been insane. The con
detuned man received the verdict coolly,
but bis father. Dr. T. F. Hover, col

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in a class
by Itseli," says Dr. K. A. Wiltshire, of
uwynnevllle, inu. "1 lane great pleas
ure in testifying to the results of Cham
berlain's Cough Medicine. In fact, I
know of no other preparation that meets
so fully tbe expectations of the most ex
acting In cases of croup and coughs nf
children. As it contains no opium,
chloroform or morphine It certainly
makes a most safe pleasant and effica
cious remedy for the ills It is iuteuded."
