How dear to our hearts is the
boom we are having; dear are the
boomers who help it along-who
sing of improvements, of rustliDg
and paving, while hundreds of voices
join in the song. The kickers must
vanish, the loafers must perish, the
cranks and loafers must all amble
down, and we viii encourage, and
fondle and cherish those long-headed
boomers, those progressive boomers
those free-handed boomers who brace
up the town.

THE boy who spends an hour each
day lounging around town cutting
dry goods boxes or having good
time with his playmates, throws
away in the course of one year 365
precious hours, which if rightly used
would be of great benefit to him.
Youth is the spring time of life; it
is then we should improve our mo.
ments. Boys, that hour is lost for
ever gone. Time passes rapidly by
and in few short years at most you
will see where you lost the golden
moments of your life. Stop and
think. While you loaf time is wait
ing for none, but is chronicling hour
byi. hour your boyhood days away
and you will awake and realize the
fact that those golden moments are
forever gone.-Putnam Record.

1t is an ugly thing however you spell
it, yet thousands of women are prac-

week after week, they endure that
dull pain in the back, that terrible
"dragging-down" sensation that tells
of weakness and functional disorder,
and do absolutely nothing to effect a
cure. In few years broken heart

HARD LABOR FOR LIFE.
Highway man Ho'z 'zhay Sent Where He'll
Have No lore ''SpeiIs"

Highway man Ho' 'zhay Sent Where He'll
Have No More "Speils."
BEssEMER, Mich, Nov. l6.-Reimund
Holzhay was to-day found guilty of
murder in the first degree, and was at
once sentenced to imprisonment for
life at hard labor in the state peniten-
tiary.
The arguments in the case were CON-
pleted last evening, but by request of
the jury the judge postponed making
his charge until to-day. THIS morning,
as soon as court convened, the jury was
charged. The charge occupied a. out
twenty minutes in its delivery, the
Court deyoting greater .por-
ton Of the time to explaining
tn, different degrees of mnro
der. By mutual agreement between
counsel, the verdict was to be guilty OF
murder in the first degree or not guilty,
and the Court so instructed the Jury.
The jury retired to their room at 9:45
a. NJ, and after being cut fl ty-two min
utes announced that verdict had been
agreed upon. AS the jury filed into the
court room Holzhay scanned each face
but appeared TO discover nothing con-
soling, for he Immediately picked up a
paper and fingered it nervously while
the rol, was being called.
The clerk said, Gentlemen, what If
your verdict P'
The foreman replied, "Guilty Of ,Iur-
der IN the first degree"
Holzhay's eyes, which had been fixed
on the foreman while he made his
answer, turned Involuntary to the
judge.
When the verdict WAS announced the
vast anIianna could bordlv roproso
cheer, and some attempts at applause
were made, but they were quickly sup
pressed by the Court.
His Honor, Judge Williams, turned
to the prisoner aud said: "Stand up,
sir."
HOLIDAY arose.
"Mr. Holzhay," said His Honor, ''the
jury has found you guilty, charged of
murder in the first degree. Have you
anything 10 say why the sentence of
this court should not be passed upon
you?'
The prisoner hesitatingly replied,
'no sir"
Said the Judge: THE law leaves me
no discretion IN the matter. My duty
is imperative. | therefore sentence
you to solitary confinement and hard
labor in the house OF correction or
Drancn state prison at Marquette, Tor
the term of your natural life"
Atty. Button announced that an ap-
plication for a new trial would be made.
The case has been one of great local
interest, and every citizen of GogebiC
County has taken personal interest in
the matter. While all were willing to
grant the man Holzhay a fair trial,
the general desire has been that il
found guilty he should suffer the ex-
treme penalty Of the law. Everyone is
pleased with the outcome of the trial
and while many believe it to be a clear
case, all are well pleased with the man
ner in which Prosecuting Attorney
Howell has managed it.

General Strike on Deacon Richardson.
New York Road.
New ! DIRK, Nov, 19.-"Deacon" Rich
ardson is once more having trouble with
his street railroad employees. All the
conductors and drivers on his four roads
in Brooklyn went on a strike this morn
ing. Up TO 9 o'clock only / car had
reached the bridge.
Great dissatisfaction has been mani
tested among the employees for some
time past. Numerous restrictions
nave been put upon them in the per-
formance of their duties, and working
for the Deacon has been so ardu-
Gus as to cause the men
unendurable torture il the performance
of it. These grievances have been very
calling and aggravating to the men in
the extreme. DISCHARGES have been
made without any apparentreason. On
application TO the office why they
should be DISCHARGED the men have re-
celYed the inyarlable snsYer: "Your
services are no longer required"
Ia the latter part OF last week eight
men were discharged and the strikers
state that the only reason was that they
were Knights of Labor. Yester-
day the employees demanded the
reinstatement of these eight men
and notified Mr.. Richardson that unless
their request was complied with his
roads would be tied up this morning.
The discharged men were not rein
stated, so the drivers and conductors
quit work. No disturbances have as yet
been repOrted

Sensational Divorce Suit in BuffaIo-A
Wife Deserted Tor Her Mother.
A sensational divorce suit is on trial
in Buffalo, in which q mother-in-law fig
ures in a novel role. She is, as para
graphers love to depict her, the moving
cause OF the suit, but not as the tyran-
nical disturber of cOniugal felicity.
The plaintiff in the suit is Maggie
Elmer Everett, aged II, who
year ago married John Everett, aged %.
Mrs. Everet's mother, Mrs. Mary Elmer,
Is d comely, buxom widow of 46 sum
mers. John Everet's love seems to
have been divided between the widow
and her youthful daughter, if his heart
was rot originally and wholly given
to the widow. For on their marriage
day the hfiue discovered the bride
groom lsvishing kisses upon his
bride objected, but her objections failed
to cool the ardor o: her spouse. The
display of affection between the
strangely assorted pair continued, and
her objections ran current with them,
until about a month ago she was
turned oqt of doors by the loving
pair, who found her too much
IN the way. She went to al
aUnts house, and by her was led 70
bring suit for divorce. The evidence is
of highly sensational character. On
the 18th inst, the young wife, wander
ing through Strauss Street, where she
formerly lived, saw her husband and
mt tler in eacl others arms. She burst
in the door and caused such a row that
the police were called in. The people

DOM PEDRO Is DEPOSED.

RIO DE JANEIRo, Brazil, Nov. l6.-The
government has been overthrown, and
republic has been pre- claimed with
Senor Da Fonso ca as president. The
imperial ministers Lave been placed
under arrest and are kept in close con-
iiDement. The provisional government
has guaranteed protection to the mem
bels Of the imperial family. All bu,i-
ness IN the c-ty ls suspended but there
IS no danger to life or property.

ously wounded I'm Pedro, VINO "a
fifty eight years N.G. ruled the country,
Is al his summer palace at Petropolis,
twenty i've miles north OF Ro de
Janeiro.
The revolution is purely military, and
only formidable from the lack Of troops
outside of Rio to bring against the revo-
lutionists. The force in Rio is about
6,000. There are not more than 10000
in addition, and they are scattered all
over the empire.
Gen. Gonca, who is at the head of the
revolution, was accused of insubordina-
liO'i idsL y Wy anu the minister OF war
proposed to have him court-martialed
but the Emperor forbade ii. If the
whole force III Rio are of one mind
things can be carried with high hand
The Parliament is to meet next
Wednesday and many of the senators
and deputies are already in the city If
they agree TO recognize the new govern
ment, Dom PedrO's sbdication may be
looked for. If they do not they will
have TO 60 to jail.
The revolution comes as a great sur
prise. No financial troubles exist. The
August elections were peaceful. The
Liberal cabinet proposes popular meas
ures, and the Emperor is universally
liked.
The coup de main may affect the
status of the Brazilian delegates to the
PanAmerican CONGRESS-.
LONDON, Nov. IA dispatch from
Rio Janeiro says: Dom Pedro has de-
parted from Brazil. He sailed direct
for Lisbon, Before his departure he
was formally notified of his deposition.
at the same time he was informed that
the civil list would be continued. The
province OF Bahia, opposes the re-
public, but most Of the other provinces
have si2nitied their adherence to the
new regime. DR.. Barboza, the new
minister OF finance, announces that all
contracts entered into by the imperial
government will be maintained. The
city Is quiet. The overthrow of the
monarchy has temporarily yaralvzed
business. On the exchanges nothing ia
