"You ought 10 get five cents worth of chloride of ime.' .-...
 "What for? ?"
 "For a nickel" The above was passed around freely among a number of St. Paul citizens, and was in each recognized as a practical joke of considerable merit. Acting upon the sug. gestion, prominent merchant determined to work it on his book-keeper, with an original variation. So he said ''You ought to get five cents worth of potash. :"
 Contrary to the merchants expectations, l the taciturn book keeper meekly bowed his head and went on footing his trial bal ance, while his employer retired discom- | 6ted. The next morning he received 8 note from his book keeper to this effect: "I took five cents worth of potash and l am sick as horse.

NOTHING is palmer than that the lobby

NOTHING is plainer than that the lobby has been too large factor in law making at state and national capitals. We hope to see as 8 result of the prominence of the granger in politics this year that the lobbyist will look smaller from waxing less fat on his fruits of toil. Don't let us have the scandals of 1889 repeated at Hartford in 1891. There is a legitimate lobby and legitimate lobby work, but the work of most lobbyists is so far from being useful or legitimate that the term lob byist is growing disreputable.

Dr. David w. Knowles and wife have been sentenced at Litchfield to ten years each, and their son George to seven years, for shooting John J. Waters at Lanesville September TO- The crime grew out of a trouble originating in dispute over prop w., George and Jay. The father of the Jay, and hence the trouble. His brothers abused him so much that finally the neigh bors determined to interfere. The night of September 10, about Il o'clock, John J. Waters, the murdered man, Fred Halbet, Willis Warner and Fred Aldrich, neigt. bors, went to the farm house to see that Jay got his rights, as he had been forced out of the house by his brother. George
 the doctors son, met them and threatened to shoot if interfered with. The neighbors got log and battered the door down, and at the same time George fired, killing John J. Waters. Judge Thayer, in de
 livering sentence, said that the state. had clearly shown that the boy was strongly urged to shoot Waters by his parents, who | told him after he had killed Waters t shoot again and kill Jay Knowles, at whom the first shot was fred. Mrs. Knowles was greatly overcome by the verdict ant heavy sentence, and had to be carried from the court room. Attorneys Malone and Graves, counsel for the defendants, mad, motion for new trial, claiming the evi
 dence did not warrant such verdict, bu
 this was overruled, and sentence was i'm
 posed. It is understood the case will b
 carried to the supreme court.

accused of completely in the attempt to
secure advance copies of the examinHtion
papers and have ordered withheld degrees
from six other students. The two students
dismiss ed are Rswson }. Parker and Ar
thur A. Alexander. The cause of with.
holding the degrees in the other cases is
that of deficiency in scholarship. As the
action Of the Faculty is without precedent
in the history of the college it has caused a
great deal of comment. The students
claim that the two men dismissed had moth

admit being in Rutherford. N. J where
