DROWNED IN BEER.
Concerning this Popular Beverage Two
Men Express Their Minds.

"The fact is, sir, and you may stick pin
there, that the people of this country are
likely to be drowned in a food of lager
beer" shouted an enthusiastic teetotaler the
other day into the ear of your cornered cor
respondent. " That German drink has struck
us hard. II is the second deluge."
Yes, and the worst of this beer drinking
business is that it gets up kidney troubles,
as heavy wind raises the waves" added q
city physician, who had a knowledge of the
times and tendency to metaphor. 1.-THE
midnight schooner leaves behind it q wake
of furred tongues, headaches, torpid livers,
nausea, and all that, and lays the foundation
of Bright's Disease"
This melancholy fact accounts in part for
the increasing sales of BENSON'S CAPCINE
POROUS PLASTER, which at once mitie ates
these systems. Price 25 cents. Ask your
physician about it. Sta

Trial of TIrey, the Murderer Of Mar
shall Bremen.

Most OF our readers remember the cir
cumstances of the killing Of the marshal,
Geo. Brenner, of Wellington, on the night
OF July nth last while in performance Of
duty in attempting to arrest two burglars
whom he saw in the act of breaking into q
store. The burglars were Augustus B.
TREY, youth Of nineteen years, and John
Young, hardened criminal Of twenty
eight, who had been years In the peniten-
tiary of Pennsylvania and but few days
out when arrested for this crime. Il was
TREY who made the murderous attack on
Turnkey Chapman some time ago. The
defendants were indicted jointly but only
TREY was tried for murder.
The State was represented by q IN. j. II.
Dickson and d. ]. Nye, prosecutor, and
the defense by E. G.. johnson and G. w.
Johnston.
Mrs. Caroline Brenner, widow of the
murdered man, was the first witness called.
DIR. T. McClaran, who made the post-mor-
tenn examination and extracted the ball,
testified next. A. E. Sheldon and Luther
Winchel, of Wellington, living east of
town mile, saw the defendant and COM
panion the day before the murder, the men
calling at the door Of one for food and
r,assing the residence of the other. Henry
Biges, agent OF the w. & l. E. railroad,
testified TO the burglary Of his office on
the night of the murder. Frank Chap

TEE aIl-absorbing thought this week is.
What can we get for each and all whom
we would ike to remember on that day for
a Christmas gifts For many something
they need, or something they want but
would not be likely to get for themselves,
or something to minister TO their tastes or
that would have value for its associations.
II every gift is to be acceptable in proper
ton TO its money value the custom Is mis-
chieyous one, and ought to be abandoned.
We know that il is not comfortable to be
indebted for an obligation out Of our power
70 pay. and that should help us to decis-
ion in what to give to others. But after
all that can be said, it is perplexing ques-
tion, and there will be much cogitation
and great deal of looking and hunting
and doing before the list shall be complete,
and they viii be fortunate who have all
their arrangements made before Saturday
night instead Of Monday evening, though
the merchants will not be averse to selling
goods mp to the latest moment.

TIE unhappy divorced wife of Senator
Christiancy died last week when delirious
from Bright's disease. Her mind had been
long unbalanced and her disease and death
is believed to have been caused by her
sense Of disgrace and sorrow over her do
mestic troubles. The scale Of her emotions
was unnaturally long. She was either in
mood of loftiest exultation or wretchedly
depressed. Christiancy said Of her after
the divorce proceedings began, that "in her
happiest days she was one of the kindest
and sweetest women in the world, that he
loved her with his whole heart, and loved
her still, but felt compelled to bring pro-
ceedings for divorce in order that the re-
cord of his life might not be destroyed" !"
II Is gratifying to get hold of even little
testimony in defense of this much malign-
ed, brilliant, but unhappy young woman.
Perhaps the moral Of the case stands
about thus: Old men would find 1t more
prudent to select steady reliable old lady
for a second spouse then to try to keep
step with giddy young girl be she ever
50 beautiful.

one-half Million Of Dollars for Postage.

George Stinson s. Co., the celebrated
Art Publishers, of Portland, Maine, un-
doubtedly pay more for postage stamps
than any other firm in the world; for the
last five years their postage bill has aver
aged over two thousand dollars per week,
making a grand aggregate of over five
hundred and twenty thousand dollars;
this Is about the three-hundredth part of
all postage of every description collected
by the United States government during
that time, and in this connection it must
be borne in mind that the country now has
over fifty million souls, and fifty thousand
post-officcs. Butthe enormous sum paid for
postage represents only the cost of send
ing the light packages, letters and circu-
lars, for large, heavy packages are sent by
express and freight. Messrs- Stinson &
Co. publish every description of pictures
Of the better class, and their trade now ex-
tends over the entire world. As an illus
tration of the fact that their trade reaches
the furthermost parts Of the earth, the
