According to the Jefiersoninn, of Wood­ ward, one of the sporty citizens of the town was down on the river hunting a few days ago when be came upon a large flock of ducks. He took deliberate aim and killed twenty-six mallards. The gun was too heavily loaded and bursted, the pieces of which killed thirteen wild geese which w.-re flying over. The shock kicVed him head over heels backward. In fall ing he fell upon a covey of quail, killing nineteen. A button flew off his pantp and killed a jack-rabbit hard by. After sufficiently recovering fromjthe shock be waded out in the river for the ducks he had killed and caught his boots full of fine fish. He hailed a passing wagon and carried the game home, where he caught "Hail Columbia" for getting his feet wet and pants muddy. All work first class, neat and reason­ able in price. A.

KIMBALL The Elgin Every Saturday has the fol­ lowing to say on the death of JameB M Kimball, who died in that city on Tues­ day of last week: "The death of James VJ.Kimball removes from Elgin one of its best known citizens. Ever since there was any Elgin it has been his home. He died Tuesday, of pneumonia, aged 70 years. None of our citizens possessed stronger individuality than he, and his originality of thought and expression made him a most interesting character, though his views were all of the ultra order. He was a Republican who believ­ ed in rigid party lines at all times. Though a pronounced agnostic, who re­ garded Col. liigersoil as the greatest of logicians, his society was much sought by orthodox ministers, who seemed to eiijoy his irony, and found satisfaction measuring swords with him upon theology. By his own unaided efforts the deceased had accumulated a compe­ tence, and, besides setting his two sons up in business, he leaves an ample estate for the comfort of his wife and daughter. Mr. Kimball had no faith whatever in the theory of eternity, and when hf lay down his earthly burden it was in fie firm belief that death .is the end of all, but content that it should be so consistent to the last. One of his last remarks was, "By tomorrow morning I shall know whether this is the end or not!" He had been a great reader in his day, and was especially familiar with voltaire, Volney, Paine, Draper and lngersoll. Ht was also an enthusiastic admirer of Gen Grant, Jack Chandler, Roscoe Conklin. Thos B Reed and others of whose Re­ publicanism he approved. Eccentric and extreme in his views though he was, he hala most kindly sympathic nature thai responded to the calls of sickness or trouble, and his tenderness and faithful­ ness as a nurse will always be remember­ ed by his family and neighbors. In many ways Elgin will miss J. M. Kim­ ball. The funeral was held from the home Thursday afternoon, Rev. W. M Walker, of the First Baptist church, officiating," Country Papers Are Inllt. A writer in the Review of Reviews sump up the attributes of the weekly news­ paper as follows: "Each copy ia read not only by the five people usually crdit- ed to the ordinary paper, but by twice or thrice that number in many instances, for manv subscribers pass their paper or. and on to the inmates of les.-i fortunate homes. These publications are pre-emi- nently the home papers of newspaperdom. They are not superficially scanned whil» men travel to business and then left for brakemen to gather up. They go di­ rectly into homes and the reading is n duty as well as a pleasure. Hence their peculiar value to advertisers and their value as moulders of public opinion."
