For all immigrants landed in this
country the owners of the vessels in
which they come are taxed so cents a
head. The law went into operation in
August and $4,000 was collected up
to Sept 80. The object of the fund
thus established is the relief of needy
immigrants.
Our Pride-The durability and finish
of our goods; the praise we receive
for them the ready sale they meet
with and the satisfaction they give.
Our study has been to meet the re-
quirements of our patrons, to be
abreast with the times, and at prices
within the reach of all.-C. e.
Pariseau.
*The woman who seeks relief from
pain by the free use of alcoholic
stimulants and narcotic drugs, finds
what she seeks only so far as sensibility
is destroyed or temporarily suspended.
No cure acas eUer aorougM by such
means and the longer they are employed
the more hopeless the case becomes.

The Monday morning Sentinel con-
tains dispatch announcing the arrest
of Lon Williams, at Dodge City,
Kansas. The sheriff Of Pepin Co.
started with requisition from Gov.
Rusk for the prisoner Tuesday. The
feeling at Durand is still great over
the Coleman murder and it is feared
Lon will not fare better than his
brother Ed. who was hanged to atree.
AN interesting case is soon to be
heard in Boston court. 1t rests on
a motion for new trial in a case tried
last December In the following
March one of the jurors was committed
to lnnatic asylum, and the defense

opportunity for expert testimony as to
the mental state of persons with an
insane tendency.

teaching. A class of q scholars took
part and speak in highest terms of
Mr.. Shaver as a teacher in these two
branches. At the close of the term
the prize for best improvement was
awarded to Miss Mamie Rouhan.
It seems to be entirely useless for
journalists and statesmen to deplore
the extraordinary rapidity with which
the war debt is diminishing under the
action of the National Treasury De-
partment. All experience has demon
strated that both with the government
and the people this policy is irresistible
and is not likely to be abandoned until
the whole debt shall be extinguished
and the burden thus got rid of.
OLD MAIDS. Some one (probably
an old bachelor) has said that 'twhy
there are so many ladies Of uncertain
ages living in single blessedness' in our
world, is owing to the fact that most of
em went about with their faces covered
with pimples and blotches." Well,
they are not deserving Of much pity
when it is taken into consideration that
Swayne's Ointment cures all Eruptions
of the skin and Itching Piles and is on
sale at every druggist S in the land.
Beware ! girls of the period.
