The trial closed with a verdict of not
guilty. The killing occurred on the 18th
of December Mt Richmond, where both
men were prominent and respectable citi-
zens. The mother of their wives had died a
few months previously, leaving an estate of
$1,000 with Little as executor The adj
ministratioD of the estate led to personal ill
feeling between the two men, whose wives
were to share it equally, and on the morning
named Arnold went to Little's office, and, IN
the absence of any witnesses. shot him dead.
The theory of self-defense. upon which Ar
mold was acquitted, was based less upon the
testimony of witnesses than upon the prOba-
bility that an alteration would take place
when the two parties met. The verdict caused
intense excitement in the courtroom. Ar
nolds friends shouted and surrounded him,
while his wife covered him with her body to
prevent his being killed. A strong guard took
the prisoner to his room.
The examination of Arnold's brother for
drawing revolver on Bronston was con-
and sentenced to the State Prison for one
year.

SAPovoNARI has been chosen Chief
of the Utes, as successor to Ouray. There
were only two other applicants for the posi-
tion, Guero and Peah, the former claiming
it by right of promotion, being second in
rank; but his known hostility to the whites
prevented his promotion. Sapovonari is
fifty years old; he has considerable force of
character, large following, and had the
confidence of Ouray to such an extent that
he was left in charge last winter during GU
rays absence in Washington. While he is
believed to be the best man for the place, it
is said he is far from being an equal to Ouray.
The Utes killed five Of Ouray's best horses
that they might accompany him to the
happy hunting grounds.

Advice to a Whistler.

Sometimes. my son, you will want to
whistle. Do not entirely repress this de
sire to aspirate your feelings in sibilant
strains of wheezy music; merely modu-
late and regulate it. Go off into the
woods five or SIX miles from any habita>
tion, it the desire comes upon you during
business hours, and whistle there unit.
the birds make you ashamed Of your poor
accomplishment. Do not yield to the
temptation too readily, lest you become
addicted to the habit and become slave
to it, and 60 whistling around even as a
man who has lost dog. There are men, q,
nv son, who can whistle musically; once
in while you find men whose whistle is
pleasant to the ear and soothing to the
soul, but you only find one OF those men
every three or four thousand years, and
they die very young. You observe that
the best whistler is he who whistles least
and practices in solitude. The poor whist
Ter, who flats on the high notes and gasps
on the lower ones, wheezes in the middle
register, is the man who whistles 1T all
times and in all places. Whistle all you
will in solitary places, son, if it pleases
you, whistle in the night as you 60 home,
if you will, tor CHEEKY whistle in the
dark is pleasant sound unto the listen-
ing soul OF the be.ated passenger, but
when you come into the assemblages and
the business haunts of men, unpucker
your musical lips and shut up your whis-
tie in your heart. And if ever the temp
tatlon comes to you to whistle against
the edge of card, crush it out, if the
effort kill you. Whistling is not lofty
nor yet a useful although q universal, ac'
compllshment. Though you practice &
hundred years, and though you whistle
ever so whisley, my son, yet the common

Rules for Cooking Vegetables.

A French cook gives the following
general rules for cooking all kinds of
vegetables. ''Green vegetables should
be thoroughly washed in cold water and
then dropped into water which has been
salted and is beginning to boil. There
snould be a tablespoonful of salt for
every two quarts of water. If the water
bolls long before the vegetables are put
in it has lost all its gases, and the mineral
ingredients are deposited on the bottom
and sides of the kettle, so that the water
is fiat and tasteless; then the vegetables
will not look or have a fine flavor. The
time for boiling green vegetables depends
much upon the age and time they have
been gathered. The younger and more
freshly gathered the more quickly they
are cooked. Below is very good time
table for cooking vegetables:
Potatoes boiled, thirty minutes; baked,
fo;ty-five minutes. Sweet potatoes, boil
ed, forty>six minutes; baked, sixty min
utes.
Squash, boil twenty-five minutes.
Gree peas, boil from twenty to forty
minutes.
Shelled beans, Boiled, sixty minutes.
String beans, boiled, from one to two
hours.
Green corn, from twenty-five to sixty
minutes.
Asparagus, fifteen to thirty minutes.
Spinach, ole to two hours.
Tomatoes, fresh, one hour. Canned,
thirty minutes.
Cabbage, from forty five minutes to two
honrs.
Cauliflower, from one 10 two hours.
Dandelions. from two to three hours.
Beet greens, one hour.
Onions, from one to two hours.
Turnips, white, forty y-tive to sixty min-
utes; yellw, one and hal. to two hours
Parsnips. one or two hours.
Carrots, one or two hours.

New REMEDY.-Mr. C. E. Wright, OF
this city, has been experimenting with
carbolic acid as prophylactlc of scarlet
fever, and is favoratly impressed with
its efficacy. 1t seems to abort the dis
ease. In numerous cases persons in an
infected household who took the acid
have every one escaped infection. while
all who failed to take it were attacked.
In the family of Mr.. c. L. Divine, fore>
man Of the Journal composing room, all
who took it escaped, while the servant
girl. who refused to take it, is now down
with the disease. The subject is one
worthy the study of every physician,
and, if the theory is established, the dis
covery is one of the most important ever
made in medicine. The doctor puts five
drops of acid in half pint of water, and
gives teaspoonful four or five times a
day.-Indianapolis Journal.

forced really to the Illuminating necessity OF asking
authority TO issue paper money.

CLUBS AMONG YOUNG VOTERS TO BE ORGANIZED

The work done by the Republican Central Cam
paign Club will consist largely in the organization
of political clubs. It is intended by Commissioners
Manierrc, the chairman OF the Campaign Committee.
General John Cochrane, and the others associated
with him. to make strong effOrt to secure the
young men who will now vote for Presidential
electors for the first time. 1t is proposed to form
young mems campaign clubs in every school dis
trct in the State On about September l. 1t Is
desired to hold u convention meeting of young
Republicans at Saratoga, and to arrange measures
for carrying forward this particular work Mr.
Manierre and others in a short time viii visit
various parts of the State and consult with promi-
nent Republicans in their respective neighb0rhoods
The idea is to arouse as much enthusiasm posi-
BILE among the young men and enlist them ID the
work of the campa ign. and it is believed that this
can be done In better way than the formation OF
Garfield and Arthur Clubs.
The campaign club in few days will issue
campaign song book of forty pages, neatly gotten
up containing large number of taking songs. lt
will be furnished to clubs at S1 hundred copies,
this barely covering the cost.
