the squabble l picked up the revolver and
put it into my pocket, then went to the door
and screamed Went back to help father.
The child was asleep in the cradle. Father
went out into the shed for something and
begged him not to return to the sitting room
for fear Getchell would iDjure him. Then
saw my husband go out with the child, fol-
lowed out and told him l wanted the child.
He called to the woman to come and get the
child, but she would not. Getchell then told
me tn take the child. l took the boy and sat
him down in the road, then went TO help
f ,ther as was afraid Lorenzo would kill
him. About this time Mr.. Hodges came
along. Getchell pointed the revolver directly
at fathers head when he fired. l found
bullet in the house, the baby having it in his
mouth. l gave the bullet to father The
wound on fathers head was like a scratch,
being deepest in the middle. and bled pro-
fusely.
Gross EIamination.-I told my husband
that did not think he was doing as he ought
TO, and also that he had come there to get
fathers property away from him Said
shouldn't go away with my husband and
leave father. l urged Getchell to STAY if he
could do as father would have him to. Told
Lorenzo if he went away should never live
with him again. Told my sisters that /
would not live with nv husband again
My husband would rave and swear at me
every time on coming to see me. Would also
threaten me. Getchell told me once if got a
divorce and married again he wouli as lief
take my husbands lite as not. When he
came to see the babe soon after it was born,
l told him through my father that | did not
want him to see the child.

off the rails and bent the axles somewhat
The train was stopped and then had to come

TIE work of revising the statutes is stead
lily progressing in Portland. Copy i. being
prepared, the laws of last winter are being
put IN and changes caused by the Later work
made. Already some of the copy has been
placed in the printers hands. Many people
nave entertained an erroneous idea As 10 the
number of members of the committee at
work The report has been given credence
mat the entire committee, ten members in
all, were employed and that it was costing
the government, each member receiv-
ing S. day for his services, the
respectable sum OF S50a day. This is incor-
rect. But two members of the committee
are employed at one time, and these are re-
heved every week by two more of the COM
mi'tee who take their places, thus costing
the government but $40 day instead of $50.
Ii 's expected that all the time until the SEES
sion OF the legislature in August. will be
occupied in completing the work. 1t is
estimated that the present revision will cost
several thousand dollars less than the revi.
sion Of II. The contract for printing and
binding was made at q very low figure, and
economy will be used wherever possible.

The scripture speaks of finding money in a
ti,hs mouth, but the finding of "A coin in a
pigs mouth is novel experience. But a
case of the latter description happened one
day. Mr. William $. Keene is yard-master
of the NJ. c. X X. at this station. On the
day mentioned he was turning a switch just
back of the Cony and Farrar stables, when he
noticed a sable-coated pig looking demurely
out through hole from beneath the stable.
PIggy peeked out and grunted aPprovingly
when suddenly MIR. keenes attention was
arrested by some bright object glittering in
the animals mouth. At first he thought it
was bit OF tin but upon proceeding to the
aperture the pig scampered off and dropped
the bright object from his mouth Our friend
stopped and picked it up and 10, it was a
bright silver half-dolar Mr. Keene pocketed
the coin and now keeps it as a souvenir of his
lucky experience.

ing out of the liquor traffic. The Pro-
hibitiOnists are honestly divided as to
the best means of bringing one Of the
leading parties to advocate prohibition.
Some honestly think the best way Is to
bring out an independent ticket, with
prohibition inscribed upon its banner,
while many others, equally honest, think
1t best to act with their former political
parties, and talk and urge the advanta-
ges of prohibition.
With these honest differences of Optn-
ion we have nothing to do, as 1t would
be useless to try to unity them at this
time. But this can be urged with all
good faith as true citizens and as Chris
tian men, that 1t is our duty to our
homes, our neighbOrs and our country,
to vote for the second amendment only.
This we urge without trying or desir-
ing to influence any voter as to the tick
ct he shall vote, be 1t Republican, Dem
Ocrat, Greenback, or Prohibition.
IL selling Intoxicating liquors as a
beverage is public wrong and injury
then prohibit it as we do all other pub
lie wrongs and evils. If 1t Is not an
evil, then 1t is unjust and against the
nature of our free form of government
to impose one cent extra tax or license
beyond what other business men pay.
Any evil that Is sanctioned by the State
in the way Of license or special tax Will
grow. There was time in the State of
New York when lotteries were allowed
to exist under a special high tax or
license; but 1t became evident that the
business was growing and debauching
the morals Of the people, and the legis
latuTe said to the lottery dealers: You
have forfeited every right to stay in so
ciety, and you must STOP" Similar was
the license OF tax of lotteries in Louis
Vile, KY, and of houses of prostitution
in st. Louis. But the evils grew and
multiplied, and the State Obeying the
law of self defense, killed the business
of taxing or licensing these evils, and
that ended 1t. SO every State should do
with all public wrongs. To tax or
license gives protection to any business
of doubtful character.
Several years ago unprincipled men
who loved money more than public
morals, or the good of society, made
money by publishing obscene literature.
They spread these vile productions In
schools, colleges, houses and wherever
they could insinuate their mean bust-
ness throughout the country. The vile
business continued for some time, until
the authorities of some of our larger
cities saw the harvest of ruin being pro-
duced, when the scalpel of law was ap-
piled and cut it out, and now 1t Is a
penitentiary Offense to send such litera-
ture through the mails. Would any
good citizen, especially christian man,
say that any of the above evils should
publicly exist by paying very high
tax. Certainly none of the above evils
or all put together have done the harm,
and ruined homes and paupered chill
dren as the liquor traffic has done.
Then why talk of taxing the prince of
OF the power of evil, and thussperpetuate
and protect so great wrong. Let every
voter who wishes to throw a safeguard
around his home and country, be he
Democrat or Republican, vote for the
second amendment only. A CITIZEN.
