 -"COme where my love lies dream ing, dreaming the happy hours away" were the words we heard young man singing in the starlight, fow nights since. Let her dream on, young man, you ought not disturb her; besides the weather is just trihe too warm now and you ought to have a delieacy in going to where she is dreaming the happy hours away unless armed with tie necessary papers. IT you persist in going, we warn you beforehand that the old mans bull>dog might jerk the bay-window out of your best Sunday go-.O-meeting pantaloous. Viewed from all points, we think it best, young man, for you not to go where your ''loye lies dreaming"

Challenge TO Fight . Duel

Robert Keith, Commander of Post
Willard, Troy, N. Y, had charge OF
the exercises on Decoration Day. He
did not invite the Burdett Veteran
Zouaves Corps to participate in the OK
ercises, which caused its commander,
John Twambley, to assert that his COM
pany had been sighted through spite
on the part of Keith. The statement
was published, and at the memorial ex-
ercises on Tuesday, Keith called atten.
tiOn to it and declared that Twambley
and a majority of his men were mule
drivers and bounty Jumpers.
The remark caused much comment
among military men, and when Twam-
bley heard of it, he declared that Keith
must publicly retract the statement or
fight. Twambley to-day published a
challenge to Keith in which he asserts
that all his men have honorable dis
charges and brands Keith as a noto.
rious liar, and closes as follows: 'If
you are as willing to accept insult as
you are to give it, you will meet me
like man and defend yourself against
me with any weapons you may select.
mean just what l say, and trust
that you will back your assertions by
meeting me in a manly strife" A con.
yersation with Keith warrants the
statement that he will pay no attention
to the challenge Twambly was form
erly adjutant Of Post Willard. Keith
is vice. commander of the Grand Army
of the Republic, Department of New.

Lost IS Ioars In q Mad House.

The Lancaster Examiner prints a
story to the effect that a wife has just
been found in the Lancaster county
insane asylum, who was supposed to be
dead at least for 18 years. The woman,
whose maiden name was Fay, when
quite young lived in Ohio. A young
Pennsylvania farmer came out that
way and fell in love with her. She
was not of perfectly sound mind, hence
the parents objected to her marriage.
Finally, however, the wedding took
place in 1856, and four years later they
moved to Lancaster county. The hus-
band thought he had good reasons t.
put her in the hospital, and he promptly
informed her people. All his letters
either went astray or were not answer
ed. The wife wrote very many letters
home, but they were never sent. She
was locked among idiots, and was a
stranger In strange land. Finally,
however, q new warden came into
office, and one Of the poor woman's
letters found Its way back to OHIO.
Her people at once came on, and finally
rescued and took her home.

Diphth erin.

DIR. Franklin Staples, Of Winona,
MINI, after an extended correspond
ence with physicians in most of the
counties of his State, has published a
report on diphtheria, in which he classes
the disease rs contagious and infectious
and demonstrates that it is on the in
crease-a fact due, in his opinion, to
failure on the part of physicians in
recognizing its self-propagating proper
ties; to want of systematic nursing of
patients suffering from the disease; to
incomplete disinfection of premises at
tackled and last but not least, to the
frequent intercourse of convalescents
with healthy persons.
He maintains that strict regulations,
rigidly enforced, are the only means
adequate to cut short its career, and
since individual power is unable to cope
with it, urges that every city and town
should devise sufficient sanitary laws,
and let them be enforced by intelligent
medical Off GERS, who shall also make it
their duty to instruct the people in
sanitary rules. To guard against CON-
tamination, he believes that filth,
whether from dirty rooms, soiled cloth
ing, defective drains and cess pools, i'll
ventilated rooms, poisonous inodorous
gases, ETC., should be regarded as Con-
ditions which invite the disease, and
the apartments set apart for the patient
should be Invested of all furn iture,
carpets, curtains, and fabrics of any
kind not absolutely required; that dis
charges from the nose mouth and bow
els should be carefully collected and
destroyed, and that all personal cloth.
ing, bed linon, etc, should be thorough
ly disinfected before being sent to the
general wash. In case of death all
clothing and unimportant articles
should be burnt, the body be imme-
diately disinfected and put into its cof.
fin, which should be kept permanently
closed. There should be no public
funeral. He prefers disinfectien by
chlorine gas, which is to be set free in
the room.
Ventilation for number of hours
should then be insisted on. Precau-
tions falling short of these Dr. Staples
considers to be useless in preventing
the spread of the infection. Report on

MURDERED At A PICNIC.
Shot by a Rejo tod Saitor.

- - AsS5OS
The st. Louis "Globe.Democrat" in a
recent issue says:
A young lady named Annie Geyer
was shot by Philip Mathew 8, In a little
grove just east of Belleville, Ehout four
o'clock yesterday afternoon. From the
evidence at the inquest, which was
held last evening, it appears that Ma
thews, with number of other young
men, members of the German Episcopal
Sunday school, had gone out to the
grove to inspect the arrangements that
had been made for the annual church
| pic mic that was to be held to-day
They had not been there great while
when Miss Geyer and three other young
ladies arrived. Young Mathews had
been paying his attention to Miss Gey-
er for two years or more, and for some
time her accepted lover. Owing to the
fact that he had contracted bad habits
of late she had broken the engagement.
AS soon as sbe arrived on the pic-uic
grounds and saw that he was there she
tried to avoid him, and sat down at
some distance from where he was, in
company with the girls who were with
her. After a iew moments young Ma
thews went over, and, taking her by
the arm, compelled her to step aside
with him and began talking with her.
The others could not hear what was
said, bnt presently they heard Miss
Geyer scream, and saw that Mathews
had drawn revolver and was pointing
it directly at her heart. Before any one
of them could recover from tee horror
that had seized upon them, young Ma
thews threw the revolver down on the
ground. Two Of the young men started
to pick it up, but were prevented by
Mathe VS., who again seized the weapon,
and, turning upon the others, threaten
ed to shoot them if they did not keep
back He Immediately turned around
and shot Miss Geyer through the right
breast. She fell to the ground and ex-
pired in few minutes. The murderer,
after firing the fatal shot, turned on his
heel and, with cooked revolver in his
hand, walked into town and gave him.
self up to the police. The occurrence
caused great deal of excitement, and
threats of lynching were heard on the
streets of Belleville last night. The
murdered girl was a general favorite,
and was a member of the German
Methodist Episcopal church choir. She
was about q years of age. Young Ma.
thews is about ~ years of age, and is
mechanic. His parents live in Belle
vile.

Hardships of . Trapper's Life
Kept his Feet Two weeks In the
AupAW-

Aman named Brannan, who has
been trapping in the mountains about
twelve miles north of Paisley, Ont,
froze his feet badly while going from
town to his cabin. He broke through
the ice on his way home and, the
weather being intensely cold, his moe
casins froze to his feet so that he
could not get them off. This occurred
on the 14th of February. For about
two weeks he kept his feet in the snow.
No help was within reach and he lay
there all alone, being com pelled to do
his own cooking and to procure wood
to keep from freezing to death. The
wood he got by crawling on his hands
and knees and pulling it into camp
with "a rope around his shoulders.
About ten days ago sheep herder had

His Last Article.

The following is the last paragraph
written by Hon. Y. s. Walter for his
journal, the Chester Republican. 1t
shows that the old gentleman was
loyal to Republicanism to the last 3
"In view of the state of feeling which
at present prevails within the Republi-
can ranks, the Democrats are more
hopeful of success, at the election for
Governor, than usual. This fact should
incite the Republicans to active exer'
tions to elect their whole ticket formed
at Harrisburg. There is not man
upon it who is not worthy of success.
The stale cry of Cameron and anti
Cameron, should, not detract single
vote from the ranks of the Republican
party, nor will it except with those
who consider their shopes nf office too
long deferred. 1t should be, it must
be, the duty of every right-thinking

double his efforts, Unnecessary, if to ensure
