And, as he spoke he offered dipper level
full of the sinking fluid TO each in turn.
As the odor assembled their nostrils, they
rose with one accord and rushed out of the
building, and, moment later. old Rufus
could hear them frantically endeavoring to
relieve themselves of their whole internal
economy. Presently they returned, look
ing very pale and sick
Putty sick, amt yer? Wal, done tole

queried one of the victims.
"To be sho yer is, chile; to be sho yer is
lucky-er else yer wouldn't be alibe arter
drinkin dat ar, he added, in an undertone.
But what would it do if Uncle Humboldt
was to drink it? Would it make him lgcky?"
was the next question.
"Dats wat hit would, an, mo dan dat,
hit would make him so lib raj dat he git

The demons exchanged glances and
slipped away.
The old darby absented himself, NUT
tering as he departed, "Deyll steal hit

That day, while at dinner, Prof. Hum
boldt Mellick, deep in the mysteries of
sauer-kraut making among the ancient Hin
docs, poured from the coffee-pot into his
cup an unsavory liquid which smelled and
looked remarkably like the magic shoe
water which possessed the power to make
him liberal. The boys exchanged glances,
and Uncle Rufus chuckled to himself.
The Professor took n liberal swallow of
the sinking fluid. He started, half
awakened from his day dream, and then
lapsed back into his contemplative state.
He took another swallow and became con-
scious that something was wrong.
BLESS my SOUL" he calculated, "that is
remarkably vile coffee. Wool! whew! why
it smells like charnel house!" The wise
man was now thoroughly aroused.
What in the name of all that is wonder
full is this outrageous connection, anyhow?
Why it's worse than concentrated extract of
skunk"
"Uncle Humboldt, it's shoe water, meek
~ said one of the demons.

"Yes, an it'll make you liberal"
"AIake me liberalt Why, you young
heathens, what did you give it to me for!

"Why, old Rufus told us it would make
you liberal, and"
"Neber done no slch ting" lied old
Rufus. "Done made dat nasty stuff outen

Indeed it is, Rufus. Boys, you had
better pack up and start for home directly
! after dinner. You are too dangerous to
have around, though why you should at
tempt to poison me is more than can see.
Shoe water! Good heavens! Woo! l feel
sick now."
Presently he returned, after rushing out,
and oversaw the boys pack hurriedly, and
then sent them to the depot.
"Oh, yas!" snorted old Rufus in the
wood house a few minutes later. "Dey

HORRIBLE CRIME OF MRS. DRUSE,
Condemned TO Death, She Is Respited
to Allow Time for Legisla-
tive Action.
ALBANY On. " special

Gov. Hill has issued an executive order
postponing the execution of Mrs. Roxalana
Druse, under sentence of death for the MUIR
der of her husband, from Dec. 80, the date
fixed in the sentence, till Feb. 20. The
Governor says he does this in order to give
the State Legislature an opportunity 10
modify the law of capital punishment in
its application, and adds that as far as he
ia concerned the case is closed and the
woman must suffer the penalty of the crime
on the day fixed unless in the meantime
the law shall have been changed. The
Governor says that ii was a clear case OF
murder, and that he can find no reason for
interference. with the penalty except the
sex of the condemned, which the law does
not take into account. He says:
"The evidence shows that the killing was
most brutal and atrocious in its character.
Briefly stated, the facts satisfactorily es-
tablished are as follows: The family con-
sisted of the deceased and Mrs. Druse, the
daughter Mary, aged 10 years, the sor
George, aged 10 years, nephew, Frank
Gates, aged ii years. A quarrel had oc-

the daughter Mary, and the deceased In
the room. Mary then placed a rope around
her fathers neck while he was ut the table,
and the defendant fired the revolver once
or twice at him. wounding him, and he
tell over sideways in his chair, while the
defendant, being unable TO make the re-
volver go off again. called To the nephew,
Frank, who came into the house, together
with the boy George, whereupon the piis-
oner gave the revolver to the
nephew, and under n threat of killing him,
compelled him To fire IL off two or three
times, and the deceased being hit by the
shots rolled off the chair upon the floor,
and she seized an AK and hit her husband
on the head with it, and continued hitting
him on the neck until she chopped his
head off. She then caused the head as we'll
as the body to be taken into the parlor, and
during the day and evening the body was
cut up with an AK and was burned IN the
stove. She threatened to kill the boys if
they told what occurred. Mrs. Druse had
previously made threats against the deceas-
ed, and boosted that she would be lid of
him some day
these and other facts almost too horri-
BILE for description mark the case as plain
one of deliberate and premeditated murder
There seems to be scarcely mitigating
circumstance. The daughter Mary aided
and assisted her mother in the murder, and
after the conviction of her mother she plead
ed guilty to murder in the second degree,
which plea, on account of her youth, the
fact that she was probably acting under the
influence of her mother, and other circum-
stances, was accepted by the District At
torney, and she was sentenced to State
Prison for life.

REV. EDWARD McGLYNN.
Going to Rome to Protest to the Pope
Archbishop Mannings Views
of the Case.

Rev. DIR. Edward McGlynn has won
much publicity by his open advocacy of
Henry Georges theories, which are said to
be opposed to the teachings of the Catholic
Church, and he has been summoned to
Rome to explain certain of his utterances
in the recent campaign. DR.. McGlynn
has declined to say much in regard to the
matter as messages from the Vatican al
ways allow a reasonable time in such cases
for the priest to set the affairs of
his parish in good running order before de-
parture. DIR. McGlynn is very popular with
the wide circle of his parishioners, and the
opinion of most of them is that the Pope
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-12-30

will send him back to his parish without
even reprimand. DIR. McGlynn once
made speech in Cleveland, Ohio, that
brought him in collision with his Bishop.
He was student of the Propaganda, and
he took an oath to uphold the doctrines of
the church, which it is now thought by the
higher authorities that he is infringing
upon by delivering his speeches in favor of
the recent labor movements which are dis
turbing the elements of both church and
state. DR.. McGlynn has ne fear of any
serious results from his call to Rome, for
it can be easily urged that priests have
taken part in politics in Europe-most
prominent part in England, France, and
Italy, and in Ireland especially, and that
even Popes have been politicians.

view with Cardinal Manning, in which the

Retaining the Great Russian swamp.

Since 1870 the Russian Government
has been engaged in the great work of
draining the linsk marshes, in the
southwest of Russia, an area very much
larger than Ireland. Several thousand
men have been employed, and up to
the present time about 4,0O0,0 900 acres
have been reclaimed Ivy the construction
of several thousand miles of bitches
and canals, so broad as to be naviGable
for large barges. OF the reclaimed
district about half is ready for cultiva-
ton and the remainder is good meadow
land and timber forest. Besides MAX
ing the canals and ditches the engineers
have built lT9 bridges, bored 577 wells
from 20 to so feet deep, and have made q
survey of 10000 square miles of coun-
try hitherto unmapped. This vast en-
terprise, when completed, will have
effaced one of the toughest bits of saw
age nature on the European Continent,
and is of especial engineering and SCI

 AN INTERESTING CASE TRIED BEFORE JUSTICE
 BISHOP.
 GU1LFoRD, July 27.-Quite an interesting case was tried before Justice5 Edson s. Bishop at the town clerks office on Monday morn ing. There was quite large attendance of witnesses and other citizens interested in the suit. The action was brought by MT. Ches- ter A. Brown against Dennis Daley, both the parties being well known residents of the village. MT. Brown claims that MT. Daley has trespassed on his lot by driving over it with a farm wagon on several occasions dur ing the past two years, and by moving the fence which divides the land owned by MT. Brown and some meadow land belonging to MT. Daley. MT. Daley claims to have the right of way to cross MT. Browns lot and that the boundary disputed by MT. Brown had been established for more than twenty-five years. Several witnesses on both sides were called to testi- fly, old deeds and records were brought into use, as well 8 map, to explain the locality. Justice Bishop listened patiently to the evil dence presented and to the arguments of the counsel and then continued the cases two weeks for decision. Judge Rufus s. Pickett appeared for the plaintiff and John c. Galla- gher and P. N. Robinson for the defendant.
