Killed His Mother.

A terrible crime is reported from
Burlington, Montana. Mrs. Bryant
kept a boarding house for miners,
and. being an industrious woman,
had saved about $500 which she kept
i'm a trunk in her bed room. She had
three children, the eldest a boy,
Thomas BRYANT, aged about 16. His
father about year ago went 70 Aus

quently quarrelled with his mother,
and had a quarrel with her Friday
morning. Shortly after she found
him in her bed room, ritiing her trunk,
and stormy scene ensued.
The only witness to what followed
is the 3-year old daughter OF Mrs:
Bryant, who says her mother and
Tom had a struggle, and that Tom
drew pistol and shot his mother.
She fell dead by the side of her trunk.
The boy lost no time, and taking an
other pistol, left the house by the
rear door, going over the hill In
westerly direction.
The neighbors soon gathered.
alsrmed at the noise, saw the dead
woman, learned the cause, and a
dozen men were soon in hot pursuit.
The young murderer managed to
elude the pursuers and made his way
to stuart, about 10 miles further
West, where he took the cars and
went to Silver Bow on an evening
train. there he gave himself up and
was lodged in Jail When searched
he had $500 on his person. He ap-
parently had no idea of the enormity
of his offense, and told a rambling
story to account for the shooting.

Sixty Per Cent Interest.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press at Devils Lake, North Dakota,
telegraphs a pitiful account of the
want and suffering in that section of
country, the result of crop failures
and severe weather. One farmer, a
New Highlander. whose property is
shingled all over with mortgages, as
sured the correspondent that there
was not a bushel of feed for the stock
nor quart of seed wheat on his place.
Ano Their representative farmer of the
section, New Yorker by birth, has
seventeen head of live stock, but ow
ing to the drouth and failure to secure
a hay crop, has sent his four horses
sixty miles away TO winter. All of his
stock is covered by chattel mortgages
except six cows The land is mort
gagged also. He has no seed grain, but
expects to get Ii from the county.
There are fifty bushels OF oats in his
bin, and this he is saving to strength
en- his horses for spring work. Other
visits paid and the same story repeat
ed. No feed, no seed wheat, nothing
but mortgages The trail of the
money lender is over il all, and at a
Many persons have been obliged to
live on short rations, and despite con-
siderable outside aid there has been a
great deal of suffering AT one point
seventy needy families were supplied
with the necessaries Of life. and many
will be dependent upon outside aid
till such time as assurance OF crop
has braced up their credit.

Poison Oak.

The following extract, taken from a
letter written by Mr.. +. A. Bell, fully
explains itself:
While surveying land in 1888 | ac-
cidently handled poison oak vine, and
in less than three hours (the eruption
usually resulting from such contact
begins in ten days. my face was
swollen and disfgured, and my bands
and arms seriously affected. | i'm
mediately began taking Swift 5
Specific 6, s. s., and after taking
three large bottles found all signs Of
the breaking out entirely removed.
| was led TO suspect its return at the
same time next year, but il did not,
nor. has there been any indications of
its return since.
My little boy, eight years old, was
afflicted with the same poison i'm 1854
After taking several bottles Of Swift's
Specific Is. s. s. the eruptions fem
tirely disappeared. A very slight
form Of the same eruption returned
during the next spring, but we then
resumed the s. s. s.. and having
taken enough during that season TO
makethe cure permanent, he has not
since had any return of the disease.

effected thorough cures in both these
cases, and regard it as most ef-
fectiye remedy for all such diseases.

Carrying Water in a Skull.

That is terrible story coming from
North Queenland about man who
was lost in the bush, says the Pail Mall
Gazette. He used up all his water and
then dropped his billy" in the ago
ny of his thirst. By-and-by, fortu-
nately, he came to a water-hole. where
he slaked his thirst and found the
road again. He had still some thirty
miles to go, however, and he had
nothing whatever to carry water in.
OF course it would have been madness
70 attempt TO travel thirty miles on
foot under a North Queensland sun
without any water, SO his ready in
vention came TO his aid. He had been
Mortified short distance back by the
skeleton of man who had evidently
been dead several years. He went
back and got the skull, plugged up
the eye-holes with clay and filled it
with water. He then tramped that
thirty miles on the water contained in
the skull. Can any novelist imagine
q more frightful idea than this. for
which we can youch

Born With a Blackberry.

A dispatch from Louisville, KY,
says: "A certain young man of this
city, who is very prominent in social
circles, and whose name is withheld,
as he is very sensitive on the subject,
has upon his neck most curious for
nation. 1t lies just below the band
of his shirt collar, which he wears
high to conceal it, and is a lump of
flesh that is an exact copy of large
blackberry. Nothing could be a
more faithful representation of the
fruit, the tiny globules being present,
with even the barely perceptible
tilaments between, and only the color
being lacking. But the most remark
able feature of this mark is that it is
small and flabby all the year until the
season when blackberries ripen, when
it swells and grows firmer, keeping
pace in its enlargement with the
ripening of the fruit. This growth is
atten led with no pain, but occasions
an intense itching sensation. The
young gentleman has borne the mark
since his birth, but never learned of
any parental influence that could have
caused it. He has consulted many of
the most eminent of physicians both
in America and abroad about it, but
all unite in warning him not to inter
fere with it, rs he suffers no real in
convenience from its presence An
English physician, who has recently
been knighted, told him that he had
met with similar case in h lady of
rank, who had upon her face a large,
pendant piece of flesh resembling a
mulberry She was anxious to get
rid of it, deeming it a deformity, but
the doctor in question refused to re-
move it, upon which she applied to
another physician, who cut it off.
But she only survived the operation
a few days, dying, however, from no
apparent cause"

THE Postmaster General is endeav-
oring to get Congress to establish a
postal telegraph system. The plan
he suggests is an exec llent one. He
would have the government lease
telegraph lines, or contract with ex-
listing companies, so that cheap mes
sages could be sent between cities
say at cent a word-the regularly
employed carriers of the postoffices to
deliver the messages In other words,
the government would receive and
deliver messages, and the telegraph
companies would simply work the
wires.
