Earthquake.
The earthquake that so disturbed-people
along the Atlantic sea coast on the night
of the last day of August, was sensibly felt
in this place. Harry Swelgart who waa
diligently pursuing his studies in his room
in the Jacobs House waa suddenly torpris
od to feel his table quiver and see the ink
stand and other articles on It shaken as If
by some invisible power. Some of John
Etka's children called to their father In
alarm, declaring that some one waa under
their bed shaking it. lir. Etka to quiet
their fears was compelled to take a light
and look under the bed. Certain articles
tn a closet in Colonel McCrum'a bouse got
off some tumblo-down and shuffle noise
movements. The beds were shaken tn the
house of Jesse Howe. Mr. Ankara's fami
ly felt the shock. Mrs. Wallace .Faaick
thought her husband was trying to scare
ber by shaking the bed. A boarder tn the
National Hotel thought some oue bad fall
en out of bed.
A Fatal Shot.
Friday nigbt, as the people ot Bedford
were about retiring to their bods, their de
sires for sleep were put to flight by the re
port that a murder had been oommitted
just within its boundary limits, it was found
that Jacob Duucau bad, itiuut j"M canse
sent a bullet through I bo heart of his brother-in-law
Jeremiah Plecker, for tbe follow
ing trivial offense; I'lecker, in a jocular
mood, atepped on a chair and was about to
turn the c'.ook forward to make it appear
that .'J was later tbao it really was, when
DnA.fcaa seeing what he was about, stepped
ffcpivd nn a rcffiwiy, manner said ,
"i'lecker, if you turn that clock, I'll
shoot yon."
I'lecker, believing tb.at he waa tooling,
and did not mean any harm, turned tbu
clock forward aud started for the door,
which he bad hardly reached before the ro
port of a revolver rang out and Plecker fel'
forward on his face, dead, with a bullet
hole through hia heart, while Duncan, with
Sendian satisfaction depicted on his face,
stood with a smoking revolver in his hand,
calmly viewing the effect of bis deadly aim.
Duncan was arrested and hurried to tbe
county jail, where he Is now coutlued.
Medical aid was quickly sninuioned but a
hasty examination auclosod the fact that
death had been tnstataueous. Bedford

Main's Suow.
Walter L. Main's show on Thursday waa
greeted with crowded bouses, afternoon
and ereuing. At the latter performance
over three hundred people were turned
away, the entrance having been closed at
least twenty minutes before the opeoine
act. For once in our lives a show has some
and gorj) without a single word ot com
plaint having been uttered even by tbe
chronic growlers who had "seen it all be
fore," who "wouldn't give a cent for the
best act dnj." In fact, everybody was
forced to ackDowledgo thai they hid n';ver
een a better show, aai very few a good
especially for tbe low price of admission.
Every performer was well up in his or pirt,
and every act wss perfect. D'Alnia, bis
wife aud children, who have always neon
favotites in this county, have most deaerv- j
ally won fresh laurels, while tbe wonderf u
and apparently impossible contortions of
Mr. Hardella drew lorlh unbroken rounds
of appiaue. Prof. May's troupe of educa
ted dogs .could really do everything but
speak, and ne of them tried very bard to
do that. Tbe educated horse furnished
most remarkable proof not only of what hu
man patience e&d perseverance cau accom
plish but also of bow nearly instinct and
reason approach jeach other. Tbe concert
after the performance is really excellent,
and far surpasses anything of the kind in
connection with any show we have ever
seen.
We can safely say that Main's show is
Dot only strictly moral, but also instructive
and intellectual, not tbe least admirable fea
ture being that no game of chance, nor any
other outside grab game, not even tho us
ual side show or catch-penuy business is
allowed in or near tho pnTttisos. Houtz

The Glsgerbread Sign.
A nice ok! ladv has a certain teat which
she applies to all young men whe "pay at
tention" to any other granddaughters. Af
ter a certain time she oilers him soma of
her home-made cake. If he eats It with
avidity she mutely gives consent; if not,
sbe instantly begins to oppose the match
not, as some might suppose, from wound
ed vanity, but because she bas a theory
that men who like cake never drink to ex
cess or live aissipated lives of any sort.
"Give me," she says, "a mau that loves
gingerbread; it's a sure sign he isn't fond
ot whisky." Hudson Republican.
