THERE was an exciting scene at the
funeral of c. Z. Freeze, the young man
who committed suicide in Fort Wayne,

then demanded that second inquest

induced to return to her hotel, and the
funeral proceeded without further III

A Sensible precaution

Though disease cannot always be conquered,
its first approaches can be checked. But not only
is the use of medicinal safeguard to be recon-
mended on the first appearance of malady, but
a wise discrimination should be exercised in the
choice of remedy. For thirty years or more
Hostetters Stomach Bitters has been the reign
ing specific for dyspepsia, fever and ague, loss Of
physical stamina, liver complaint and other dis
orders, and has been most emphatically Endorsed
by medical men as health and strength restor-
alive. 1t is indeed wise precaution to use this
sovereign terrifying agent and alternative in the
early stages of disease for it efectually counter
acts it. the malady belongs to that large class 70
which this sterling medicine is adapted. Not
only is it eficacious, but pure and harmless.

SCHOOL DAYS.
BY E. ]. pueeAN.

bb re- J. DlA1AN.
Oh, the pleasant, pleasant memories
OF my ehildhood's early days,
When my heart was pure and hrightsome
As the day gods brilliant rays.
How love to dwell with pleasure
On the time when life's great rule
Seemed to be involved in forming
Truant principles at school,
That old school and my companions
Wanton, wild but noble boys
How dearly, dearly bless them
For the ne'er-forgotteH joys
They provided in that spring time
OF "A life now scared and full,
Full of disappointed drsamings
Which ambition framed at school.
How well we knew, we hopeful students,
How to trace disastrous days
In the morning frowns of anger
That o'ercast the teachers face"
Noble hearted, loving, generous,
Stern he was and framed to rule
Youths like US, who, prone to mischief,
Are tire bane of every school.
May the sods which rests upon him
Lay as light as drifted snow.
And the Great Almighty Justice
With his record OF life's woe
Deal as lightly as the Saviour
Did TO him who thrice betrayed
With an oath his Lord and Master
To the Hebrew serving maid.

Chinaman Shot Instead of Deer.
Nevada CITY Herald


Last Tuesday, while two Cinnamon
were engaged in sluicing near the mouth
of the south Yuba, about one-half mile
below Bridgeport, three Indians shot at
them with rifles from the side of the
hill. One Of the shots took effect in
the back of one of the Celestials named
All Sue, and passed out under the right
nipple, causing death almost instantly.
The other Magnolian escaped without
injury. At first it was not known who
committed the deed, but suspicion was
thrown upon three Indians, who were
Immediately afterward arrested. They
were tried yesterday before Judge Stolar
at San Juan, and gave their names as
Louis Rose, Indian Frank and Durkie.
The latter, who is the youngest of the
three, confessed that they had fired at
the Cinnamon. The reason for so do
ing, he claimed, was as follows They
had started out early i'll the morning to
hunt deer, and not finding any they
were returning home when they espied
the Celestials. Louis Rose, the elder of
the three, proposed to shoot them a3
substitutes for deer. Indian Frank
seconded the motion, but Durkie was
not in favor of it. After arguing the
question it was decided that they should
all raise their rifles at the same time
and fire, which they did, with the result
as already stated. The three blood
thirsty hunters were brought over to-
day from San Juan by Judge Stolar
and lodged in the county Jail, to await
their trial for murder. Durkie will
probably be discharged, but the other
two will doubtless go to the gallows.
