not only an emineutly wholesome tonic, but
they rectify with most satisfactory prompti

Of health and strength. When the system is
enfeebled by disease, by the wear and tear
OF business life, by continuous mental
anxiety, by the exhaustion consequent upon
late hours and fast living, by Over-work and
by sedentary habits, the Bitters arethe most
reliable medicinal agent for imparting per
manent vigor TO the debilitated frame. The
new stock Of vitality which they infuse into
broken down physique and the orderly ac-
ton which they establish among the organs
of digestion, secretion and evacuation,
moreover, constitute its best safeguard
against malarial disease.

I'll Ne Trust Ye."

Two centuries ago it was thought an
insult in the Highlands of Scotland to
ask note from debtor. 1t was con-
sidered the same thing as saying al
doubt your honor" If parties had
business matters to transact, they STEP
ped into the air, fixed their eyes upon
the heavens, and each repeated his OBJ
hgatisn, with no mortal witness. A
mark was then carved upon some rock
or tree near by as remembrance of
the compact. Such thing as breach
of contract was never met with, so
highly did the people regard their hon
or. When the march of improvement
brought the new mode of doing bust
ness they were often panied by these in
noyations. An anecdote is handed down
of farmer who had been to the Low
lands and learned worldly wisdom. On
returning to his native parish he had
need of sum of money, and made bold
to ask loan from gentleman of means
named Stewart. This was kindly
granted, and Mr.. S. counted out the
gold. This done, the farmer
wrote receipt and offered it to Mr.. S.
" What is this, manP" cried Mr.. S.,
eyeing the slip of paper. cts a re-
ceipt, sir, binding me to give ye back
your gold at the right time" replied
Sandy. Bindingye? Wei, my man,
if We Gamma trust yourself I'm sure I'll
ma trust We! Ye Gamma haze my gold"
And gathering it up, he put it back in
his desk and turned the key on it. "But,
sir, l might die" replied the canny
$ ,otchman, bringing up an argument
in favor of his new wisdom, "and per-
maps my sons might refuse it We; but |
ne bit of paper would compel them"
= Compel them to sustain dead fathers
lonor!" cried the Celt They'll need |
to do right if this is the road
ere leading them. Ye can gang else
where for money; but you'll find name
n the parish that'll put more faith in
it o. paper than in neighbours word
, honor and his fear o. God"

A San Juan Tragedy---A Deputy Sheriff
Killed by DesperadOes.

The Denver NeaCS says: DIR. j. f.
Ely, director of bank at Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, passed through Denver a day or
two since en- route home, after a So
journ of some weeks near Parrot City,
in the San Juan country. The Doctor,
with Major Cooper, of Parrot City, left
the mines over two weeks ago, the
journey hither being attended with very
many hardships and some delays. As
tsey passed out of Animas Valley they
met Edward Harris, Deputy Sheriff of
La Plata County, and Il posse of citi-
Zens, who were about making a descent
upon the Lambert family, for the pur-
pose of arreSting one or more of the
sons. DIR. Ely predicted, at the time,
that the next mail from that remote To-
cality would bring news of a tragedy,
and, sure enough, here comes the La
Plata Miner with the particulars of the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Harris.
1t appears, says the Miner, that some
trouble existed between Mr.. Lamb,
fora erly of Denver, and now engaged
in sheep raising, and the Lambert
family, composed of father and three
sons, who were formerly residents of
SilvertOn. A warrant was issued by
the local magistrate, upon complaint
of Lamb, for the arrest of Louis Lam
bert for threats made by him against
Lamb, and was placed in the hands of
Sheriff Harris, who attempted to make
the arrest, but was forcibly resisted
and threatened by Louis. He then sum-
moned posse of 50 men, who surround
ed the Lambert House by daylight, on
Sunday. Sheriff Harris, advancing to-
ward the house, called on Louis to sur
render. Receiving no reply, he repeat
ed the demand, upon which shot was
fired through an aperture in the house,
from a rifle, the bullet taking effect in
Sheriff Harris's head, killing hirs in
stantly. The posse then kept up a
brisk fire at the house, under cover of
which two of the number, Messrs. Sack
EFT and Stibbins, recovered the body
from where it had fallen, but in doing
so were shot at three times from the
house, receiving close "calls " each
time. After receiving the body the
posse withdrew for consultation, during
which time Hugh Lambert, the father,
and two of the sons, Louis and Richard.
ran out of the house and escaped,
number of shots being fired after them
without effect. Riley, the youngest Of
the Lambert boys, was placed under
arrest, but no charges being preferred
against him, he was discharged
Deputy Sheriff Harris was a single
man, about SO years old, and halls from
Rhode Island. He was highly respect
ed in the community, and the tragic
manner and unprovOked cause of his
death have occasioned uni
gersal feeling of indignation.

Two Children Killed by Drinking
Whisky.

The Philadelphia Times SAYS: When
information was received at Police
Headquarters yesterday that a child had
died suddenly at 1928 Wilcox Street,
Detective Crawford was at once detail
ed to investigate the matter. In the
house on Wilcox Street resides James
Ward, together with his wife and three
children. From all accounts Ward is
chiefly noted for his love for the inebri-
ating cup. On Sunday morning Mrs.
Ward went to early Mass, leaving her
husband and children in bed. Upon re-
turning, she found two of the latter
Mary, the eldest, six and half years of
age, and William. Joseph,
four and half years of
age-in an unconscious condition. Yes
terday morning at a quarter of o'clock
the boy died, and his infant sister at a
late hour last neighbour physicians
being in attendance-was not expected
TO live. From what has been ascer-
tanned in regard to the matter, it is sup
posed that the besotten father admins
tered whisky to his children, killing at
least one as efectually as though he
had placed laudanum to his infant lips. |
An empty whisky bottle was found ~
ing upon the bed Ward at first ad-
mitted that he had given the children
whisky and water, but when his wife |
was being examined somewhat rigor-
ously, he interp sed with: "You know
they took it themselves" and thus
closed her lips, she, naturally, perhaps,
by eliminating her husband
= L
fortunate household. The facts of the
case, however,, warranted Wards
arrest, and be was accordingly com
nitted TO await the action of the Cor
}ner's Jury.

The Hudson drew fourteen feet seven
inches when she passed through the
South Pass jettied channel; the tide
was at half ebb, or six inches balow
average high water. The Hudson, ac-
cording to the opinion of Mr.. Francis,
the pilot, would displace water and
bury herself fully nine inches when
moving within side-walled channel at
her then velocity, and straight cutoff
channel of less than the crooked chan
mel depth was run.
Since January last, or within four
months, such channel has been scOur-
ed out, where the depth was not more
than seven and half feet then, and
this, too, at the food river period. when
at the other passes, as IS generally
known and believed, the bars shoal up
and the utmost efforts are required by
dredging to maintain 4 channel.
During this four months, it should be
remembered also, the jetties have been
in process of construction, and this
scour has taken place simultaneously
with the progress of the jetty work,
which is not vet completed so far as to
bring into action the full forces of the
confined currents.
Our sincere thanks are due to Capt.
eager for his courage in undertaking
to pioneer the way through South Pass
in the face of so many misrepresenta-
lions and contradictory reports as to
there being any available channel be-
tween the ietties which was navigable
for so large a ship as his, and for the
feeling of increased confidence in the
ietties, which has been the result OF his
practical demonstration.
