New York, October 16. Side by side in the dead-house of Roosevelt hospital yes terday lay the bodies of two men who were unquestionably the victims of sand-bag- gers as proved by the autopsy held by the coronor and the hospital physicians. The unfortunate men were Edward H. Wood bridge, a custom house inspector, and Thomas Carey of Portland, Conn. The the the notice of the police were found in the same avenue and only two blocks apart, although not on the same night, which would indicate that the sand-bag work in both cases was done by the same gang.

Cardinal Gibbons believes in hanging murderers, and he also believes that they should be hanged expeditionsly. "A cry. ing evil," he says in his latest book, Sis the wide interval that so often interposes between a criminal conviction and the ex. ecution of the sentence, and the frequent defeat of justice by the delay. x A prompt execution of the law's sentence after fair trial is that which strikes terror into evil doers and satisfies the public con. science"

The following from the Catholic Uni verse, published at Cleveland, Ohio, is significant as showing the drift of Roman Catholic opinion on the subject of temper ance:
 The saloon at nights is the panderer of ninety-nine hundredths of the crime and vice of large city. Close the saloon at night Let the City of Mexico plan be followed in our large cities-6 a. m. to 5 p. m.-and give the father and husband an opportunity to make the acquaintance of his family. This would make the saloon calling more respecta- ble and less odious. Draft a bill closing sa- looms from p. m to 6 8. m., with imprison- ment and penalty that will dismay offenders closing saloons on Sunday; making the i- cense no less than $1 ,OO0 punishment with imprisonment and fine the adulteration of liquor or sale of adulterated liquor. Then organize your committees go to Co- lumbus and push this legislation. Let bish- ops, priests and ministers throw their open influence into the scale of this moral move- ment.
 Now there's something in this idea. If rum is necessity the plan gives oppor- tunity enough to obtain it. If it is a lux ury the same may be said. If 1t is an evil the plan outs of the chief part of the evil, for rum gets in most of it's bad work after p. m. Nothing that is good in the rum trade is curtailed by this plan. Noth- ing that is bad is promoted. If license plan is insisted upon make the restriction an appendage thereto by all means.

SOUTH COVENTRY,

Mrs. M. A. Barber furnishes the Springfield Homestead with the following review of new book just placed in the public library at South Coventry
 "'Lora, the Majors Daughter (trans- lated from the German of W. Heimburg), has the merit of being all story, sans gush and sans sermon. It verifes the old say ing that while the French maiden will wait for you at the tryst ten minutes, the Ger man girl will wait ten years. Through the careful translation of Mrs. J. W. Davis, the American reader is introduced to the authors cast, Won Tollen, Schonberg and Becher families. The Won Tollens have 8 coat of arms, also reckless, selfish son, 8 lieutenant in the army corps, whose ex- travagancies have reduced them almost to beggary. Major Won Tollen has an honest old soldierly heart, and in spite of his pa- ralysis is never guilty of a slow remark. Frau Von Tollen is the typical devoted German wife and mother, worshipping her son, and stepping to base cruelty in order to obtain money to avert the ruin of the selfish Rudolph. Lora and Katie are two daughters. Lora, a lovely golden haired blonde, possesses character faith- ful, womanly and noble, while Katie is the |eoncentration of all the feudalism of the race. Lora has a true lover in Doctor Schonberg, but after their sweet love-mak. ing beneath the huge old-fashioned um- brella, one morning, the course of their love didn't flow on as smoothly as the wa ters of the beautiful blue Danube.' Dis grace was pending over all the family rank. So the good for nothing lieutenant, his mother and Fraulein Katie went to work, hand and glove, to weave the en- tanglement of their influence about Lora, wantonly forcing her to sacrifice all her sense of honor and maidenly feelings to an alliance with rich young lion of society Her Adalbert Becher, despicable rascal of the first water. Now upon the scene glide couple of strangers. After the de- nouement of their being the lawful wife and the heir of Herr Becher, the heroine of the story sees her freedom. Here the author gives the reader view of another character, Uncle Gen Won Tollen of New York, who takes the reins in his own hands and brings order out of chaos. In the mean time Fraulein Katie had been play ing her sister Lora out of the Schonberg heart and playing herself in. She en- gages herself to the doctor and the Baron | Von Wegstedt. Next a duel is fought, and both gentlemen recover to find that Fraulein Katie Won Tollen is fortunately dead. She leaves confession of her falsi. ties. and the two cruelty separated lovers, Lora and Schonberg, are reunited. They return to W estenberg and reteh the sweet
 old story beneath the old gigantic umbrel
 la, and Frau Ton Tollen dramatically says,
 It is my only comfort that you are happy

cling ''Enoch Arden" The poem is
beautiful; there is plenty of room for
an actor of Mr.. Beers ability to intro
duce some fine dramatic work. No
more pitiful scene can be imagined than
that of Enoch Arden coming home after
the years of dreary solitude on lonely
island, to meet his wife and find her in
the arms of another man. Rather than
disturb her happiness. The forces back
his anger and sorrow and retIres in the
back ground to pine away and die. The
comedy element is interpolated in such
way that it interests the audience.
while it does not conflict with the plot
or lines of the poem. 1t will be one of
the greatest dramatic events in the his
tory of our city, and those who fail to
see it will miss the opportunity of a
lifetime. The play will be produced
with all tberoriginaI scenery by Hoyt,
the calcium and mechanical effects, etc.
Remember the date-Friday evening,
October 25, at thompson opera house,
Medicine Lodge. One night only.

g. L. Bradley last week sold his farm
of $50 acres, 8 miles west of town, to j.
NJ. Dake, of Nunda, New York, for
1850, and retains possession of it one
year free of rent, which is equivalent to
$500 more. This is good farm, all bot
tom land, with Cedar creek running
through it.
The Enoch Arden company that will
be here Friday evening, is the same
company that played week this sea-
son in Kansas City, that amused the
old soldiers week at Milwaukee and
that is making every town of impor-
lance IN Kansas. There are sixteen per
formers and three tons of baggage and
scenery in the company.
Louis BissantZ is worrying Wal
Rouse considerably, and if the voters
of this county will elect Louis he will

course Louis has never held Office as

santz says he will pay his own deputy.
and he also promises that he will care

before making up his salary voucher.
Ii it turns out that the county has less
than 10000 population, he will only
draw 81 200 per year; whereas, if it
has over 10000 population he will take
the 81 500 allowed by law.
An interesting letter from our Valley
township correspondent, received last
week, too late for publication, told of
the happy marriage of Mr.. Fred. Liebst
and Miss Birdie Rogers, daughter of the
postmaster at Mumford. Rev. North
performed the ceremony in this city, on
the 18th. and the happy couple at once
went to the home of the brides parents
where bounteous wedding repast was
spread and enjoyed by few intimate
friends. The bride is one of the bright
est and fairest of Valleys many fair
daughters, and the groom is an indus
triouS well-to-dO young farmer. They
have gone to housekeeping on the Capt.
Rogers place, 10 miles south OF Medi-
cine Lodge, for the present, though Mr..
Liebst has good place of his own.
| DObsOn is denying, vigorously. that
he is now citizen of Oklahoma; but
Reno Oity is proud of him, and the off
icial organ of that city, the Capital, of
October 18th, was still publishing his
advertisement. In July, when the wri-
ter was there, his house was pointed
out to him and he was spoken of as one
of the most energetic. influential and
progressive citizens of that thriving
| town. No one blames him for going
there, but what the people of this coun-
ty are kicking about is that he ever
came back just to run for Office. The
men who deserve the praise and the of
fees are those who stood by Barber
county in evil as we'll as good report
who loved it in drouthy years as well as
when corn runs sixty bushels to the
acre.
