HAVERIING .THOMpSON.

A happy wedding occurred at Milan
Saturday night, 1t was the well known
constable, Peter Heverling, who was
united for life to Miss Harriet A. Thomas,
of Davenport, Rev. Carlson performing
the ceremony. About twenty members OF
O,Sau> Kee tridc, order of Red Men, of
this city, remembered their brother on this
happy event and went out to celebrate 1t
with him. After the ceremony and while
the presents were being presented, Fred
Appelquist Sachem of the tribe, with a
neat little speech presented the groom
with mysterious looking bundle, as "a
reminder of his future duties and rcspon-
sibilties." and Pete actually blushed as
he unwrapped a miniature pair of blue
slippers. 1t was delightful affair all
round

Riel,s Trial.

OTTAWA, Ont, June 16.-The Crown
counsel who are to conduct the prosecu-
ton on behalf of the government in the
Riel trial are here securing instructions
and to the present moment the date of
the trial has not been fixed. 1t is under

to prove Rlel's American citizenship
This fact established, his counsel Will
point out that he can only be tried for
waring war against foreign country.
The trial would then have to be a court
martial but as martial law was not pre-
claimed in the Domini on, the trial
could not be conducted in this way and
would have to be abandoned. If tried as
Canadian citizen it must be for high
treason, and as three of the six jurors
are to be half-breeds, it is believed the
jury would disagree. This would in

siege of vicksburg Incidents

During the siege of Vicksburg man,
amusing incidents occurred. A few will
be recounted:
One of our soldiers, an Irishman, was
on guard one night in the front trenches.
These advanced trenches ran SO near
the enemy's line that the picket guards
could at night, when it was still, talk
across from their rife pits. Pat was
easily annoyed, which the rebel guards
discovering, commenced blackguarding
him. After plaguing him about other
matters they began to tease him about
the Worthlessness of the shells nred
from the Union mortars on the eun-
boats. As rule, il must be admitted
that these shells did no great DAMAGE
Among other things the rebels told Pat
that the only harm the shells have Vet
done is to kill two mules and lame one
old woman" Just then. through some
strange accident shell Happened to
come. from the river droppingr and
bursting among Pats tormentors in
luring two or three and causing the
balance to scamper for dear life. Ere
the sound OF the bursting she'll had died
away the shrill voice of Pat was heard
crying; There, We internal cusses. put
that in yer haversack and chaw it. viii

this; When General Bowen. the Con

that hostilities cease during the neeotia-
tons. The Union officers readily az

The Iron Troubles.

PIrTsBURG, 16.-At conference of
iron manufacturers and workmen, this
afternoon, sheet mill men will offer to
compromise with manufacturers on 5
per cent reductions. If accepted, the
scale will be signed as the differences
between the two sides have narrowed
down to the sheet mill clause. Work
men say this is the last concession they
will make. The compromise position
was decided upon after long delibera-
ton and for the purpose of averting a
long strike. 1t is believed the manu-
facturers Will accept.

Cancer Cured!

Mrs. Olive Hartman, an old resident of
Walton county, and lady of culture and
prominence, has this to say of the treatment
of cancer with Swift's Specific:
Over fifteen years ago a cancer made its
appearance on my face. 1t was treated with
plasters, and the core came out The place
healed up after some time and seemingly
my face was well. However, ina few years
1t returned again with more violence than
ever. 1t gave me great deal of pain The
former remedy seemed to do 1t no good
Knowing the disease to run in the family,
having had one sister to die with cancer,
became seriously apprehensiye of my con-
dition. 1t continued to increase in size and
ylrulence. l almost gave up all hope OF
advised the use of the knife and
caustic. This was more than !
could bear, and refused to have it operated
upon in that way All other remedies ware
used, but the cancer continued to grow
worse. The pain was excruciating, and my
life was burden. In this extremity my
son, DIR. Hardman, recommended me to try
Swift's Specific. II was the last resort but
was so prejudiced against the use of patent
medicines. and especially this one, that
hesitated some time. At last gave my con-
sent, not believing there was any virtue in
t. The first bottle only increased the size
of the sore and the discharge from il, and
hence did not Inspire me with any hope
On taking the second bottle there were
signs of improvement. snd my faith
strengthened just in proportion. fused the
specific as a wash in the treatment of my
cancer with remarkable success. spunged
the sore with the medicine diluted with a
little water 1t softened the scab, cooled the
face and relieved the itching sensation.
The spot on my face began to decrease,
as well as the discharge, and hope sprang
up in my heart. Could it be, asked myself,
that was at last to be relieved of this di
ease? 1t has given me so many dark hours
n the past thatth iriea of being well again
almost overDowered me. There was a con
test between hope and fea- for long time.
II wasa long night of weeping but Joy came
with the morning. There is nothing left Il |
