Mr.. w. w. Corcoran, who never
wearies in well-dOing, has under
taken a truly national labor of love.
He is taking steps to secure the re-

that song of "Home, Sweet Home"
which is the household hymn of all
English speaking races, from their
lonely grave in Tunis to Oak Hill
cemetery at Washington, where he
will cause to be erected fitting
monument to Payne's memory. The
state departments at Washington and
the English foreign Office have cor

is now announced to Mr.. COrcoran
that the French authorities at Tunis
will supervise the transfer of the re-

new FORM OF Dental disease.

One of the English medical
journals mentions a recent case of
toothache in the right lower canine
of a child of ten years, the circum-
stances showing a new and peculiar
form of destructive energy. 1t was
found that large portion of the
enamel had disappeared from the
front surface of the tooth, as if
Clipped violently off, and, though
the dentine was all exposed, there
was no softening or appearance OF
decay. The disease, which has COM
menced in several of the other in
cisor teeth, appeared first as small
white spot in about the thickest part
of the front surface of the enamel,
which it seemed to penetrate-and
then, suddenly disintegrating, this
came away, exposing the remaining
sensitive enamel and then dentine.
This disease Is altogether q different

MR.. QUIGLEY'S VERSION.

\
He Claims the Shooting to Have Beer
Accidental and to Have Acted In Self.
Defense.
Mr.. Drake and Mr.. Morrill,, the
bondsmen Of William Quiglcy, the
man who made the savage attack on
Messrs. Fisher, Cavanah aud Foulks,
last Monday evening, called at the
TINES office to-day, and said that in,
asmuch as the TINES had published
one version Of the affair, they wished
to have the version given by Mr..
Quigley published.
Mr.. Quigley came to this section
three years ago last fall and took up
the ranch at the mouth of Crows
gulch, the water right, and the gulch
itself as a pasture. In due course
of time stock was put out in the
gulch and fence put up across the
mouth of it to keep the stock in.
The fence was Of poles, and loose.
AS there was considerable travel up
that way, the fence was always open
somewhere, persons passing through
neglecting to put up the poles. AS
a consequence stock frequently got
away, putting Mr.. Quigley to con-
siderable expense. He therefore de-
termined to nail up the fence, which
ne did, leaving loose bars near the
house, SO that he could see when
they were down, and go and put.
them up again. There was we'll
travelled road to the bars, and per
sons travelling to and from the gulch
generally went that way.
Last Monday Messrs. Fisher, Cav
anah and Foulks went up the gulch
% see claim owned by the latter,
and pulled down a panel of fence.
MIR. Quigley saw them pass, and
came to nail up the fence with a
ratchet. He then sat down to await
,he return Of the visitors. When
hey came he refused them passage
through the nailed fence. The al
creation and assault reported yes
erday then occurred, Mr.. Quigley
laiming to have acted in self. de-
ense. The wounding Of Constable

Il PIANO OR AN ORGAN.
which Shall 1t Beta Meeting to De.

Sonetime ago resident of Halle,
offered to procure piano or organ
such as sells for $500 or $3.50 in the
stores,new from the factory if the ladies
raised a certain proportion of the
cost, besides the freight.
The instrument, it was understood,
~ss to be for use on all public occas-
ions when required, to be loaned free
of charge for charitable entertain.
ments, and when used on other oc.
casions to be rented at stated price,
the money thus obtained, after paying
for tuning and possible repairs, to be
paid into the public school fund.
The proposition being accepted,
the recent concert, ice cream festival
and ball was gotten up, and proved
to be the success that everyone
knows. A sufficient amount of
money was realized to pay the
agreed proportion of the cost of the
instrument, beside the freight.
Now, the ladies propose to go
step or two further, decide upon the
kind of an instrument which they
will purchase, and send for it at
once. But as those who take an in
terest in the matter are divided on
the subject, some wanting piano
while others wish for an organ, a
meeting will be held in the school
house to- morrow friday evening,
the It'll instant, when the matter will
be discussed, vote taken, and the
decision Of the meeting carried out.
The meeting will be called to order
at o'clock, prompt. All parties in
terested are requested to attend.
