PROHIBITION.
A Serious Riot in Maine An Editors Es-
cape.

SPRNGvALE, Maine, June 12.-The trouble
which has been brewing for some time over
the enforcement OF the prohibition law, cul-
minated last night in the orga rization of
mob, armed with revolvers and stones, and
attacks upon number OF houses, in which
the windows were smashed and other dam
age done. The gang went to the house OF
William H. Frost, about quarter of a mile
from the village, and sent shower of rocks
through the windows, accompanied by
volley of bullets from revolvers, fired in
reckless disregard Of the sleeping family
within. Taking direct road to the village
the mob next stopped at the house OF John
w. Frost, a trial justice. Here shots were
fired into the house, where the women, chill
dren and an old man were sleeping. Fortu-
nately no one was hurt, but the windows
were demolished. The house of G. H. Rob-
erts was visited. Here also the windows
were smashed and the furniture damaged.
The residence of Wilson Cheney, promi-
nent clothing dealer, was also treated to a
volley of rocks. The final effort OF the mob
was made against the office OF the Advocate.
The editor of this paper sleeps in his Office.
A perfect fusilade was kept up, and the bull
let's rained into the room. The editors
only offense was the public tion, without
comment, OF the liquor trials. By what
seemed miracle, he escaped without injury.
The raiders then disbanded. Much excite
ment is exhibited this morning, and the
sheriff of the county has been telegraphed
for.

ScUTAR1, Albania, June ia terrible
tragedy recently occurred in the family OF
Prenk Doda, Prince of Miridites. The
Prince is detained as a hostage at Constan-
tinople. From there he sent message to
his mother, who resides at seutari, saying
that he suspected that his cousin was
playing the part of spy for the Turkish
Government. The cousin afterwards, while
visiting the residence OF Prenk Doda, in
Scutari, was shot dead. The arrest of the

PORTLAND, Oregon, June II. = Elijah

making the journey from New York to

Discovery of tine Skeleton of q Young Tex
an Hunter

MIDLOTHIAN, Tex, June 13.-The skeleton
OF a man, about 25 years OF age, was found
in the large pasture belonging to a. j.
Brown, on Mountain Creek, some three
miles northwest of this place. At this wri
ting. the cause that led to his death is a
mystery.
Some think he is young stranger, a farm
hand, who several weeks ago went out with
party to hunt the Mexican lion which has
created so much commotion in the Noun
tain Creek bottom, and has not since
been heard OF. He may have been attacked
by the wild beast or may have perished
from exposure. The remains have been
taken to Mansfield, where post-mortem

been wondering about the cemetery weeping
all day, and at midnight called at the
cemetery office and asked the keeper to
accompany her to the grave OF Lawrence,
which he did in company with ano ther man.
When they arrived at the grave she bent
over the mound and taking from her breast
a small vial, she said: Gentlemen, you
may go now-I'm going to die,' and she
swallowed the contents before they could
prevent the act. 1t proved to be one ounce
of laudanum.
The woman was Immediately taken to
police headquarters and her life was saved

ly. Minnie Miller came here from Chicago
recently; being known in that city as Mrs.
Badger. Suit for divorce was brought by

Angry Chicago Husbands Who Get

Chicago Herald.

Chicago Herald.
"The third man I've sent away mad this
morning." remarked the clerk at the gen
eral delivery window. He called Tor mail
addressed to his wife, and we wouldn't give
it to him. We are not allowed to, unless he
has an order. tell you it is an eye-opener
to many men to discover that their wives
have any rights. What! they will say, a
man can't get a letter for his own wife with
out an order' No sir, it is rule OF the
department. And then they boil with rage.
You see most men are in the habit OF open
ing their wives letters. They don't think
it ia wrong. Sometimes a married woman
wants to carry on correspondence without
having her husband party to it, and to
protect her rights that rule was made. VI
course, it is none of our business what her
correspondence is about. 1t may be with
her relatives, lady friends, her lawyer or an
admirer. We don't know, nor care. All
that the department knows is that she is
woman. entitled to have her letters delivered
into her own hands. If she wants her hus-
band or any other person to have them she
can write an order. Sometimes the hus-
bands will 90 off and come back alter a
while with an order which they have written
themselves and signed their wives names
To. In such cases we get ahead ct them ny
making them sign a written receipt, ana the
similarity of the writing in the surname
gives their game away.
"I remember a case where woman.s
foresight was too sharp for her. her husband; aso Inc.

order in wGmas ON mt hess snnavrlttes wrten
