A Bloedlsss DiRculty.

Harvey Stogner went to Hiram
Shroader's last Saturday and found
Mrs. Shrosder aud her sister, Miss
Likens. at home. He began abusing
Miss Likens and accused her of being
false to him, and showed her some pis 4.
tol cartridges with which he told her
he intended to kill a Mr.. Tichenor, who
was visiting Miss Iikens. Tichenor
and Mr.. Marion Likens, the father OF
the girl, had gone squirrel hunting and
happened In while StOgner was at
Shroader's. Upon hearing of Stogner's
conduct Likens took a shotgun and
started into the room where the too
talkative youngster was. to shoot him,
but was prevented and Stogner Int out
in hurry. After he had gone some
distance, Likens was let loose, and he
sent a shot or two after Stogner, but
did not hit him. Stogner no doubt had
a pistol, as he was seen with one that
day and had cartridges there.
There's another pistol that should be
arrested at once, or it may do some
damage.
We understand Stogner took a grip,
sack Sunday morning aud left his
neighborhood for the neighborhood's g
good.
The foregoing is the account we have
had Of the bloodless affair.

Cheap board and tuition mean an in
feriOr article to he furnished. There is
an absolute cost attached to all articles,
and when these articles are furnished
below the cost of actual production,
there must be bankruptcy. By the
candid, thoughtful mind it will be seen
that those schools that offer to furnish
board, fuel and lights for less than 81 %
or $3.50 per week, must do so at their
own financial loss, or else give to stu
dents uncomfortable rooms, inferior fur
niture, and a table supplied with un-
wholesome food. This Is necessarily
true, from the fact that it must be done
in order to bring the expenses within
the limit of their announcements. Stu>
dents must have good, wholesome food,
and pleasant rooms ana surroundings,
In order that they may successfully
pursue their studies. No town i'm the
State can present neater and more
tastefully arranged residences than can
Hartford. Nowhere can be found bet
ter hotels and boarding houses. In
them can be found everything that
pertains to comfort, health, and slr
those things which will tend to secure
culture and social elevation.
Hartford has long been famous for
her good schools, her learned lawyers,
her superior physicians, her successful
business men, and for her cultivated
and talented citizens. Taking these
things into consideration with a
corps of teachers educated specially for
their respective duties, a fine school
building, board at such a price that will
enable students to secure pleasant and
comfortable surroundings, We can GER
tainly offer to young ladies and gen.
tlemen superior facilities for obtaining
a thorough education.
