The point of the knife pierced the left lung and just missed the heart on the posterior side, where the incarnate demon plainly intended the knife to penetrate, and which gives unmistaba- ble evidence that he was an old hand at that kind of business. The reader can judge with what force the villain manipulated the weapon by consider ing it passed through two coats, vest and two shirts. Dr Carter dressed the wound, and Sheriff Reed, in whose employ he was, carried him to his home.

Read the Best

Weekly Newspaper and Family Jour- nal i'm the Country. THE WEEKLY EDITION OF THE SPRINGFIELD (MAss.) REPUBLICAN, which was established in 1924 by Samuel Bowles, has recently been enlarged to 12 pages or 84 columns. The price remains at $1 per year, or 10 cents a month for shorter periods. This generous enlargement, adding 28 columns to the capacity of the paper, allows the introduction of many new and attractive features.
 The news of Western Massachusetts and New England in particular, and of the world in general, is now presented in more thor Ough manner than ever before. The news matter is not thrown together in promiscu- ous fashion, but is carefully edited and intelli- gently arranged.
 The valuable literary department, for which the paper has always been famous, is made richer and more comprehensive. sermon or other serious paper Is printed every week, selections being made from the leading preachers of the various religious bodies, and often from the local pulpits of Western Massachusetts. The religious news and discussion of the day is also carefully reviewed.
 A bright. entertaining and wholesome original story, and also an attractive depart ment for young people, are regular features. Each number contains good variety of original or selected poetry. The special interests of women in the way of education, work, household affairs, dress, etc., receive liberal attention every week. Interesting letters from regular and Occa- sional correspondents are more fully given than has heretofore been possible. The news of the theaters and of outdoor sports is pre- scented when interest and importance justify. Agricultural news and hints for the far mers are carefully gathered and occupy more space than formerly.
 The peoples interests in all political, social and industrial affairs are steadily studied and advocated from the standpoint of indepen- dence and a patriotism that is higher and broader than partisanship.
 In 8 word, the publishers seek to make The Weekly Republican more than eyer the best weekly newspaper and family journal combined in the country. To all residents of New England who do not take daily paper, or who desire to supplement their daily reading by another presentation of the worlds current history, reading, the paper now confidently comments itself anew.

The date on the colored slip of paper with the name of the subscriber shows the time to which the subscription is paid: thus, R. E. Smith 5juls9 indicates that MT Smith has paid for his paper to July 5, 1889. It is hoped that as indicated by the date on their papers, is always correct, and when they pay for a re- renewal of their subscription will observe whether their date is changed to indicate the proper credit, and in the event of an error to inform us for correction at once. No claims for errors in these accounts will hereafter be considered unless presented within thirty days after the payment is claimed to have been made, as the receipt of the paper with the date to which the subscription Is paid plainly printed thereon Is prima facie eyt- dence of its acceptance as correct.
