IN exchange says: There IS a secret
in building good towns. Do you know
what it is? If you don't you can work
the problem out in the following man
ner: Take two town sites let one be
beautiful location, with all the natural
advantages possible, and the other
none Of these. Take 800 old fogies and
misers men who do not believe in ad-
yertisIng; men who do not believe in
giving capitalists anything for risking
their money in their tOwn-and put
them on the good site. Then 200 good
live, energetic, get-up-and-get sort Of
fellows, who never let an opportunity
pass to advertise themselves and their
town, and put them on the poor town
site then watch these two towns for
five years and you will very readily
catch on to the secret of town building.

Removing the Ring.

"Will you please saw this ring off my
finger 2"
1t was an cid woman who made this
request of a Broadway jeweler, and as
the worker in gold and silver took the
wrinkled, though fat and shapely, hand
in his ii trembled violently, and tear
dropped upon the counter.

"but it is my wedding ring. / have

from having it cut. hoping that my fin
ger might get thinner and that / could
take it off without breaking il"
"And what if can move it without
cutting p inquired the jewelcr.
"But can your" said she, looking up
in credulous way. '1f you can, do it
by all means"
Then the jeweler took the swollen fin
ger and wound it round from the top
downward in a length of fiat rubber
braid. The elastic cord exerted its force
upon the tissues of the fingers gently and
and gradually until the flesh seemed to
be pushed down almost to the bone. The
old woman's hand was then held above
her head for brief interval. Then the
bandage was quickly uncorded and re-
wound about the member This was re
peated three times, and finally ii was
found upon uncovering the finger that it
was small enough to admit of the ring
being removed with ease.
Il have never failed but once" said
the jeweler, land / have removed many
rings from fingers even more swollen
than yonrs. Do charge for ii On,

get if the ring were left to be mended

had the reputation of being the worst man
killer on the road, ard hardly a week
passed that she didn't have an accident to
her record. The men became so much
afraid of her that they refused to work on
her, and the officials were in a quandary.
At last in despair they sent her TO the
Susquehanna shops, rebuilt her, changed
her number and turned her loose on the

ton as she had before. Men refused to
work with her, and one day il leaked out
that she was the old 222 That settled it,

gradually used up until the mere shell

How a vendetta Was Ended.

A singular festival was recently held at
Bitti, in Sardinia. In the presence of the
prefect of the province, the archbishop Of
Nuoro, provincial deputation, the syndic
OF Sassari and other authorities n formal
oath was taken by the members of two
families, which had been at enmity for
many years, reciprocally TO pardon all Of
fenses and to live in peace and harmony.
The number OF members of the two fam
ilies was 610 persons. A large crowd
filled the parish church in which the cere-
mony was performed, and the next day
banquet WAS given in the country for
which had been ordered ten oXen fourteen
pigs, sixty sucking pigs, 200 weight of
macaroni, 800 weight of bread and five OF
fruit, with ten hectoliters of wine.-Lon-

BUT1E, December 13.-The cabalistic
figures, 80 Z IT," were posted on the
doors of various dives and i'll resorts last
night. One was posted on the residence
of Boston Charley. 1t has been SIX years
since these figures were seen in Butte.
Attached to them was word of warning,
and it is evident the vigilance committee
has organized and proposes to rid the city
of thieves, thugs and sure-thing men and
low dives. What to night may bring is a
matter of conjecture, as the parties noti-
fed ignore the notices.

JEFF EDMONDSON.
The Last of That Noted Band Behind the
Bars in Helena.

Special to the River Press.
HELENA, December 13-Jeff Edmond
son, a notorious thief who operated in
Montana several years ago as a road
agent, horse and cattle thief, was brought
to Helena yesterday and placed in the
county Jail, by Detective Jim Conley, of
the Montana Cattle Growers association.
Edmondson is under arrest for cattle
stealing in Meagher county, and is want
ed in several other counties, though it is
not known that he is under Indictment
elsewhere. All old-timers are familiar
with the Edmonson gang. Two of the
brothers were sent to the penitentiary,
where one is serving out his sentence, the
other being pardoned by Governor Leslie.
Con Murphy, one of the gang, was lynch-
ed after having escaped from the Lewis
and Clarke county Jail.
When the Edmondsons were sentenced
to the penitentiary it was known by the
other road agents, of whom Jeff was the
supposed leader, that they would be taken
to Deer Lodge by stage coach, and an at
tack was made on the coach near Boulder
by the desperate men. They were one
day too early, as the prisoners had been
left behind to follow the next day. Judge
Wade and other passengers were made to
throw up their hands. but no further in
indignities were offered them. The pris-
oners were taken to prison next day un-
der heavy escort, The authorities having
been informed of the attack on the
stage.
Jeff shortly after wards disappeared
from the territory and the once formida-
BILE gang disbanded and were heard of no
more Not long since Mr.. Conley learned
that Jeff was on a ranch near Green river,
Wyoming, and at once made preparations
to secure his arrest, which was done
without much trouble, the arrest having
been made by Sheriff Ward, of Evanston.
A requisition was secured from Governor
Leslie, honored by the governor of Wyo-
ming with the result that the bold road
agent is behind the bars. He will be tax
en- to Meagher county to answer the
charge of cattle stealing. Had he been
caught five years ago jeff would have
swung.

Defiant Dredgers.

BALTIMORE, December 12.-The pratt

It was reported an attack was to be made
on the police sloop Folly, which is on
guard at Hatchett's Point. AS the other
police boats are elsewhere, Governor Jack
san telegraphed Secretary Whitney, re-
questing the use of the steam launches
and Gatling guns now at the naval acade-
my at Annapolis. At 11:3O tonight Su-
perintendent Sampson received instruc-
tions to furnish the state what assistance
he could, and he at once commenced to
make ready two of the launches, arming
one with .howitzer and the other with
a Gatling gun. Captain Howard and the
crew of the disabled police steamer, Nc
Land, will take charge of the launches
and go at once to Hatchett's Point, where
the Folly is said to be surrounded by
about forty dredging schooners.
