P. d. Bontecou. Familiarity known here
As "Bonty," vas shot and probably fatally
wounded At Medicine Bow Friday even
ing.
Mrs. Bontecou WAC the cause of the
trouble. Her husband. formerly station
agent At Colorado junction. occupied the
same position At Hanna, but she lived at
Medicine Bow. fourteen miles away.
She kept boarders, and among these was
Louis Hahn. an II. saloon-keeper. who
was counted q bad man and whose name
was linked with Mrs. Bontecou's BY the
gossips.
"Bonty' heard that his wife was to at
tend . St. Valentine dance at which
Hahn would also be present, aud told her
to remain at home. She positively re-
fused to obey. and the husband repaired
to = saloon and commenced drinking.
When he returned home he was lntoxi-
Gated and carried q revolver. The pair
quarreled bitterly for some time. and
the woman sent Hahn word that she be-
lieved herself in danger and desired his
protection. The fellow quickly re
sponded. coming armed Bontecou re-
sented the interference in family a~ffairs,
bat was ieered by the intruder. The men
came TO blows and Hahn's revolver vas
discharged in the scufHe. The bullet
struck Bontecou in the left breast. making
. terrible wound.
After being shot Bontecou reached the
Telegraph instrument and calling Chey-
enne asked to have DR.. Maynard sent on,
~ he had been shot. The doctor left on
the fast mail yesterday morning. Com
pany Surgeon Stevens was taken from
Laramie to Medicine Bow on a special.
He has wired that the bullet cannot be
located and that Bontecou will probably
die.
The woman and her paramour claim
that the latter's revolver was accidently
discharged. but the people are extremely
l~ncredulous ON the point and incline to
to the belief that Hahn accepted a
favorable opportunity to put Bontecou
Of the way.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bontecou are well
known here Is he was agent at the sta
toin six miles west of town for . long
time. The dying man has hundreds OF
friends in town and along the line of the
road. Mrs. Bontecou is a neat little
person, buxom aud pretty. but with
peculiar ideas on wifely duty. She left
her husband once, but was received home
when she returned eight months
later. They have one child. a beautiful
little girl.

TIE press of Arizona can dO this DOT ton of the Territory lasting service D! giving its assistance in preventing the removal of the troops from Fort Thom as As long as the Apachcs are to re main on the San Carlos reservation al the military posts now in Arizona should not only be maintained, but Others should be established.-Gra County Bulletin.
 The CITIZEN thinks that 9 great mis- take will be made if Fort Thomas is abandoned. TkIs opinion is justified by many facts, chief among which are the conclusions of some of the best Indian fighters in the army, who assert that Fort Thomas is admirably located to prevent the San Carlos Indians from raiding Graham County. So long as the government sees fit 10 keep the White Mountain Indians in Arizona. it is in honor bound to protect its citizens from a possible repetition of the horrible atrocities which have made the history of Arizona a pitiful story of human sor- rows. The CITIZEN sincerely hopes that the honorable Secretary of War will i'm mediately reconsider any measures which may have been taken toward the removal of the troops stationed at Fort Thomas.

A WaterlOO Monument.

The Waterloo monument at Brpssels in memory of the British officers and sol diers will be ready by July, 1890, at tn. present satisfactory rate of progress. The money raised by public subscriptict will just cover the cost, with a tiny bal ance on the right side. The inscription on the monument has been drafted finally as follows: "In memory of the British officers, nOn-commissioned off cers and men, who fell in Belgium in the battles of 1915. and whose remains were transferred to this cemetery in 1889. This monument was erected by the queen and their countrymen on a site gener. ously presented by the municipality of Brussels, lS90."-New York Telegram.

Society Ladies, IIn1ic-

When Henry Irving and Ellen Terrs wero in this country on their last tour, Irving was invited once to a very swell dinner, among the tiptops of society ladies and gentlem-n. He was told that ladies of the tiptops would be there ir fierce, and would feel honored to mee: him, but that ba must not bring Mis- Terry along, for the lady tiptops woaic not receive her. Irving respectfully ds clincd the honor.
 The Canadian minister of finance, Mfr Foster, is married to lady who was di vorced from her first husband. Sac q. pretty, amiable and thoroughly gooc form, and there is nothing against her apparently. But because she has beer divorced the high and mighty Canucl cabinet ladies have snubbed her merci lessly this winter, and made hev life 9 pilgrimage through a vale of tears.

The voyager cannot be provided with a safer remedy and protective medicine than HOstetter's Stomach BitIers; Abundant testimony exists to prove that it nullifies hur ful climate influences and the efforts of exposure, that it re- conciies the stomach to unaccustomed food, and prevents injurious results from impure water. Mariners, tourists, emigrants and miners have all contri- buted their quota of test m )ny in it's behalf, and it's protective influence has been most effectually demonstrated in religious and under conditions where, If not really effective, that fact would long since have been exposed. In DO class of disorders have its remedial and preventative properties have been more cOnspiciOusly shown than in cases of malarial levers, maladies for which it is the most popular specific in existence, both here and in the tropics, where its reputation is scarcely second to that which it enjoys on this continent. 1t is, moreover, most agreeable appetizer and nervine.

Too many people live as strangers to &eir feet In other words, the offices of the feet are not fairly appreciated.
 Let it be understood that in the bot tom of the feet are the largest pores; that these pores should be kept open, and this by the agency of pure water, coarse towel and frequent change of stockings.
 Besides the feet are "neighbors' more remote from the central powers and working forces of the body than the hands, hence all the more should they receive most courteous attention. ---Machias Union.

THE MONKS OF OKA.
An Order of Medieval Priests in tha
 Heart of Canada.

or
 A few years ago the provincial Gov ern-1ent was induced to grant to a baud | of priests newly arrived lot of land on the hanks of the Ottawa near it's junc- ton with the St. Lawrence, and there they established themselves as the Cam .dian headquarters of the Trappist or der in the Monastery of Oka. They at once devoted themselves to the cultiva- lion of the soil and to teaching the sur rounding farmers the methods of scien- titic agriculture. They erected silOs, in- trOduced the use of artificial fertilizers, and new methods in dairying and stock raising till now the district of Oka has become one of the best agricultural sec tions in the province.
 The story of their lives reads like a chapter from the annals of the early church. The monks rise at one o'clock every morning, and after repeating the office of the Virgin they arrange their cells, which measure five by six feet, and contain wooden bedstead, with a hard straw mattress and pillow. A dis cipline and a crucifix complete the fur niture. Then they have an hour for meditation, after which the chapter takes place. All repair to the chapter room and each in turn publicly confesses his willful and other faults against the rule, and if any one should have hap pened to notice fault in the penitent he will accuse him of it aloud, and if it Is acknowledged penance is imposed which consists of flagellatiOn or some other bodily modification. After chap ter the rules are explained, the matins are sung, and finally allattend the daily high mass at eight o'clock.
 Then they proceeded to work, at this season cutting down trees in the forest and swing them into cordwood. This continues till two o'clock in the after noor, when they all repair to the mon- astery to examine their consciences, and at 2:30 they take their first ana only meal of the day. A tin plate, wooden fork and spoon, and pocket knife con- situte the table appliances. Each monk receives plate of soup made of vegetables and water and a plate of boiled rice. On Christmas day they re- ceive two meals and during Lent tho meal is taken at four o'clock.
 After this somewhat frugal meal work is resumed, and is only interrupted for the singing of the office. The monks never speak, excepting as they pass sach other, when they exclaim ''Memen- to mori' '-remember death-and this they repeat in unison around half-dug grave.
 Visitors are welcomed, and many make the monastery a regular retreat, for whose accommodation the monks are now about to erect new building
 This is tho severest order of mOnkhood in America, and it is a curious comment on the conservatism of the church that In one hours ride from a large city one can come upon such medieval stsnes.-- Montreal Letter
