Marvellous Escape

from what certainly might have proved to be
a most serious and fatal accident Owing to
the unusual darkness and storm of wind and
rain prevailing at the time, the horses of the
carriage containing the bride and groom left
the road which was very narrow at the spot,
and the carriage fell, partially overturned
down the side of steep declivity, lodging
against fence post, which, fortunately,
proved to be strong enough to stop its de-
scent until the occupants were extricated,
In his fall from the box the driver received
some bruises about the face and the carriage
was considerably damaged otherwise no one
was hurt.
On account of the delay and the complete
drenching the party received from the rain,
the trip was temporarily abandoned but was
resumed the following day A host of
friends in Sidney are wishing that this bit of
unpleasant experience by the beautiful and
amiable bride may be the commencement of
course which shall prove the truth of the
old saw. "A bad beginning makes good
ending"

Church and Reform Associntions.

The Moxie Nerve Food is creating the
widest concern among the wholesale liquor
dealers. It stops the rum habit at once, and
makes the drinker feel better than liquor;
leaves only good solid health, and doubles
the drinkers capacity for endurance, and the
retail liquor dealers find they can make more
money on it than on liquor. The church and
reform associations are backing the Moxie
everywhere. Now the wholesalers want TO
job the Moxie. 1t is certainly making a
great stir, and we ho-e it is to be the solution
of the liquor question. Our druggists have

less return for wool. If it did not reduce
the price of wool it could not reduce the
price of clothing. Which horn of the di-

be reduced for the time, it would not be

States before foreign growers wouD take
advantage of the situation and increase the
price. Every wool manufacturer in his dis

the physicians had pronounced him perfectly
sane that after this General Stephenson had
him taken to Gardiner in charge of officers
and put aboard the boat without papers of
any kind that he was without means to de-
fray his expenses and had come ashore.
The complainant prayed the board that his
charges might be carefully investigated and
justice done. The board refused to hear
any testimony whatever bearing upon Nc
Cauley's case, but agreed to take his affidavit
as testimony till it should be excluded by
testimony in rebuttal.
Counsel here suggested that if General
Stephenson made any attempt at justification
McCauley should have an opportunity to pro-
duce evidence in rebuttal, and the Board, in
substance, granted that such privilege should
be extended.

They went within one of the Offices of the

were about to follow but the Major put his
portly form in the doorway and politely but
firmly informed them that no newspaper
men would be permitted to be present. The
scribes wandered out into the
