gentlemen and boy of Is years of age,
nearly all from Boston, drove Saturday
morning from Cottage Grove, Shelbourne,
to Ben Osgood's Castle, near Crystal Cas-
cade, and walked up to the famous snow
arch in Tuckerman's ravine. The arch was
about one hundred feet long, and seemed
firm enough to last several weeks. After
lunch Miss Pierce. of New Bedford. and
Sewell Faunce, of Boston, aged Is years,
ventured to explore the arch, when it sud

edge, aud was rescued alive, though serI-
ously injured, but Faunce was buried deep
in the drift which was packed as solid as ice.
The leader of the party assembled Mount
Washington for help. A large relief party,
including hotel employees and signal-service
men, went down with axes, shovels and
blankets. After half an hours work,
Faunce's lifeless form was taken out. Death
had been instantaneous. This is the hrst

Sylvester Grsnda. Under Arrest at Kansas City.
Tolls The STORY Of Mr.. HaddOcA's AsSaNSinatlon.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Special Telegram
Dec. 17.-Sylvester GRANADA, alias "thnrIcy
Gamblers, " niins ~"Steamboat Charley, un
der arrest for completely in the ~lIadducb
murder. will he taken to Sioux CITY TO
night. He made a confession to day, IN
which he says: ,
He was with the ConspiratOrS and drank
with them. They had agree to attack
HadioCk and other prominent prohibition
lists. He was with kosnitzki, Leavltt,
Tribcr, ArensdOri and others during the
afternoon. They were "cuSSing' Rev. Mr..
IIaddock and other prohibitioniSts and
saidthey were running the state and
ought to be tarred aud feathcred or
strung up. Tribar said he would give
any OF the boys S25 apiece who
would lay old Haddock out. They were
ESPECIALLY bitter against him. k0snitzkI,
GRANADA and Others were given money and
told to 60 and ASSAULT several prohibitions
lists, among them the Rev. Mr.. uaddock.
Triher told them to lay for lladdoCk
and knock him down when he came out OF
the livery stable. About $50 or : O'Clock
GRANADA aud KOsnitzki started for
the livery stable. They were followed by
Triber, Areusdorf, Leavitt and ",ir
or men about the saloon. The scheme
was for kosuitzki and GrNuda to
assault Mr.. Handbook first, and the others
would help them out. AS Mr.. IIaddock
came along the street they went up co him
in Il threatening, abusive way, Granda hold
ing n revolver, of which he does not know
how he became possessed. Just then
Arensdorf rushed up and grabbed
the pistol as he (Granda) was
about to drop it, with the remark:
You are too drunk to shoot, coward"
Then Arensdorf fired, and Mr.. Haddock
fell to the sidewalk. They all fled
that night. Arensdorf gave Granda and
Kosnitzki $25 zach and told them to skip
out. Instead of doing so they stayed in
town and got drunk. The next day F ed
Folger, Grander's brother-in law, put him,
his wife and Kosnitzki on the iatboat and
started them down the river. About
twenty-five miles down the river they were
signaled by a horseman on shore, whom
they found to be Folger. FOlger gave Mrs.
Granda 1925 more and took KOsnitzki
across the country to a small station,
where he LETT for San Francisco. Kosnitzki
and the others claim chat when Arensdorf
fired Mr.. Haddock was making for HIM with
a heavy window sash weight which he drew
from his pocket. Granda says hedoes not
know what Haddock was doing when the
shot was fired.

Amusing and Instructive Novelty.

OF such a character is the sterling novelty
in the shape OF n Counter Wrapper-Pad,
(l2xSB inches) for the counter use Of
druggists and dealers in medicine. They
comprise humorous sketches from the rich
and racy pens OF Bill Nye" and other
talented and weIl.known funny men,"
finely illustrated in the Eroadest style OF
the comic art. At once the design is mani.
fest and most pleasing.
As a wrapper to q parcel each bears in
graceful lettering his name and place of
business. 1t is gotten out by The Charles
A. Vogeler Company, Baltimore, Nd, and
is being distributed freely to their patrons
in trade. 1t is another proof of the we'll
earned reputation of the remedies manu-
factured by that house and another OF it's
ingenious methods of spreading the story
OF the wonderful cures wrought by ST. ia
cobs Oil. In verse and illiterated lines an
other story is told of an equally famous
and efiicacious remedy-Red Star Cough
~Cure-which has been shown by the analy-
ses OF the most distinguished chemists to
be free ron opiates and poisons; the cost
OF which is only twenty-five cents.

1t is noted as one of the incidental
but deplorable features OF the recent
extraordinary furry in mining stocks
on the Pacific coast, that $4, 600, 900,
made up of small deposits, has lately
been withdrawn from the San Fran
cisco savings banks for purposes of
speculation. The mourners, many of
them, are now going about the streets
in a penniless condition, while the in
stigators of the boom, who proited
therefore, are severely denounced.

The supreme COURT OF the German

The supreme court of the German
Empire has finished the trial of the
journalist Pohl, of Kiel, who was
charged with high treason. The pro-
ceedings were carried on with closed
doors, even lawyers being excluded.
Pohl vas found guilty of having for
warded sixty-fve secret reports for
the French government concerning the
plan of mobilization of the German
fleet and its fighting capacity, and
also details in regard to subordinate
mines and torpedoes. He was sem
fenced to nine years Imprisonment
and ten years deprivation of civil

The Why's and Wherefores.

The Chicago, Milwaukee, e. st. Paul Rail-
way Company has endeavored to save the
enqu iring mind the trouble OF much re,
search, by publishing in n little book en-.
titled why and Wherefore" many rea-
sons why various facts exist. Thelanguage
is plain and simple, and the volume might
be used with profit az a reliable class book
in public and private schools. AS a house
hold reference it is invaluable. and children
as well as grown people can read and un-
derstand it. While this publication is in
a measure an advertising medium for the
Railway Company, that fact does not de-
tract from it's value, and a copy OF "Why
and Wherefore" will be sent free TO any
address by enclosing ten cents in postage

to an agreement and reported a sub

OF a commission to deal with COM
plants against railroads, though ship
pers will be allowed to prosecute suits
for damages in the courts on their

haul question a compromise has been
agreed on. The provision adopted
makes it unlawful for any railroad to
charge more under substantially SINH
lar conditions for transportation for
q shorter than a longer distance over
the sams line and in the same direc-
ton, the shorter being included with
in the longer distance. The commits
sion, however, is authorized to relieve

this provision in spes ial cases. but ton

ton Of prohibiting pools, the Senate
