Baked Back to Life. We often bear of ancient fish stories, but here is a new way of saving drowned chickens. The facts are vouched for as sober troth by Prof. Ooltrio, belter known as the "honest farmer," who sticks type in this office at union rates. He has a fine lot of young chickens in his Boston yard whioh get but little of his personal attention owing to his propensity for deep study.

The storm of Sunday morning was a soaker, and after it had passed over the farmer put on his high-topped gum boots and waded out through the falling water to look after the chickens. Just 83 he expected, many of the chicks were drowned. There were about a dozen scattered about apparently dead. He was about to throw them over the back fence for the health inspector to Cnd, when the thought struck him that possibly there might be a way of saving the lot. He had heard of the plan in the long ago over in Indiana, and without loss of time he gathered np the dead chicks and took them into the house.

Mr. Coltrin wns extremely busy tor the next half hour, and an expression, of deop concern and anxiety bathed his countenance. He got a oloth big enough to envelop the water soaked chicks and placed them all in the oven of the stove, and then built a blnzing fire. The doors of tho oven wore cautiously opened at intervals, and of course the liveliist interest of the entire family was aroused. Gradually every ohick of the dozen came back to life, ami as often as a chirp was hearc 1 out of the oven through the door into the yard would a chioken.

All were restored by being baked, and in his joy at the succ'3sof tlrs plan of resurrection, the Farmer executed one of his famous grr jn-corn donees and killed a chicken for dirner. No Complaint. Yesterday the town board met to review the nsses-rneiit for 1885 and to hcnr cjmplnints of those who might consider themselves Recessed higher in proportion to tho value of their property than some of their neighbors. A lurgo number attended and made caroiul examination of tho assessments. All went away satisfied that tho work WM justly and impartially ilonc, end wondered that the intellect of mati WM capable of accomplishing so dillioult a task in suoh a perfect moo- uer.

This is highly complimentary to Assessor Smith. Cot. Sronit, the custodian of the Part, is kept constantly busy keeping down tie grrip. He hns no timo he can call his OVVD except after dark, then he like ecuking his couch and that repose which will tit liim for tbe work of the following day. His police duties are extrn, and they are nearly equpl to those of other members of the force.

We understand that he oilers to attend to tho new lawn on the old sqnnre. As he receives but 830 a mouth for taking care of the Park, the mayor and council might justly swell his when he takes charge of tho old square. AT IT AGAIN. Another Lincoln Sensation--A Shooting Affair. Yesterday the community at Lincoln was electrified by another sensational shooting whioh will probably result fatally.

John W. Connell in a fit of jealousy shot Wallace Thompson. There is a woman in tho case and she is the wife of Connell. The assailant was captured with the weapon in his hand and lodged in jail. Thompson will probably die.

He is aged 20. He gave his dying declaration to the- state's attorney yesterday. FDBTHKB PABIIOULABS. After firing the ehot Connell went to his brother's house and said to his brother's wife, ''Well, JLon, I have shot him." He came back down town and was arrested by Mark Storin and taken to jail, whore he now is. On being interviewed he said he did the shooting in self-defenee; that Thompson struck at him.

He further said: 'T am sorry that I shot him. I had expected trouble with Thompson and armed myself because I feared ho would nse a knife on me. When I went home I found Thompson had been there, went down town end borrowed the pistol from Burns, the second-hand dealer. Thompson and I met. Ho pulled out Ucife and tried to cut me; (his caused me to use the pistol." The state's attorney took Thompson's ante-mortem statement in which bo sayu he was at Oonnell's house this morning for breakfast; that before he left Connell camo in; ho seemed to be in his utual humor and kissed his wife twice before he left.

He gave his version of the ehooting as follows: "At Griesheim's comer he left me. I next SHW him near Obcamp's. He eaiil ho wanted to see me and wo wont over to the well and sat down. Suid he to me: 'Wallace, you Imvo parted my wife from rnp, and I intend to (kill He displayed a revolver and I caught him by the neok, intending to keep him from shooting me. I sow I couldn't mn.u- Bge him and started to ruu away, when ho shut mo.

I WES not armed and did not oiler to touch him until he showed the revolver." Tlio Musiculo To-Nignt. Tho following very excellent programme will be obsoived at the musical entertainment to bo given this evening the residence of Mrs. K. Harwocd: TAUT I. Vftlsc XuHcninniijt.

Yesterday Deputy United States Marshal Hill, who has been on doty here for several days, got a telegram from Springfield ordering him to discharge ell officers under him and return to that city. It seems that now there is no U.

8. marshal on duty, as Mr. Tanner has been removed to give place to Mr. Weber, of Belleville. A telegram from Springfield dated June 22, states: "There being important business awaiting attention, Tanner sent a telegram to Attorney General Garland for information as to the status of the office, and received the reply, "The office is vacant." Consequently all business is suspended.

In the evening one of the Wabaah employes returning from his work was assaulted and beaten, and the special deputies arrested two men for the act. They were taken to the marshal's office, and Tanner decided that he had no authority to act in the matterj and they wore discharged." "The Wabash attorneys here insisted that Tanner should continue to serve until his successor is qualified, and this fact led him to telegraph to the Department of Justice, with the result as already stated. He claims that he is in no way responsible for the dilemma that has arisen." Mr. Hill has dismissed all the deputy marshals here and this afternoon he returned to Springfield. There has been no demonstration here thus far against tho Wabust company, or injury to its property, and it is not likely that there will bo any trouble at present.

A number of shopmen from Springfield and Moborly arrived in Decatur at noon today. The "Silver King" Play. A large and finely dressed audience was at the Opera House last evening to greet the "Silver King" company end to give Manager Huines a complimentary benefit. The past season, as in former years, the Manager has been careful to bring only first-olnss attractions to Decatur, and it is a pleasant privilege of tbe amueemeat-goers to testify once a year in a substantial manner their appreciation of his good judgment and managerial abilities, extending through a successful period of sixteen years. He received a il uttering benefit last night, and one of tho best companies traveling helped to make it a success.

It was the Mack Hume Company, of Now York, on its way to San Francisco, uud the play was the powerful melo-drama, "Silver King," in five thrilling actf, presented for the h'rst time in tbis city, and it was splendidly by au excellent company. The hero was Mr. Joseph F. Brien, as Wilfred Denver, and the heroine, the charming actress, Mies Helen Blythe. The villain of the ploy was Hanley, "tho Spider," whose act of murder sent Denver a wanderer through the earth for four years.

Tho support throughout was good. Mr. Jaikcs, Drews' Baxter, Dayton's Cornell, and Miss Shan- DOU'S Cissy being worthy of special men- tiou. The pathetic story of the Silver King has been told in these columns. It is a play similar in plot and action to "Moute Christo," and was given with a fine lot of special scenery.

Mr. Britn and Miss Blythe were repeatedly brought before the curtain. The audience went into raptures at the sensational close of the fourth act and kept applauding until Mr. Brien again appeared, accompanied by Manager Hointn, It was the Manage! first appearance before the curtain, and naturally he was greatly confused. Ho simply bowed his thanks and got behind the scenes as quickly as possible.
