BRUCE Is DEAD.

Last Saturday afternoon G. S. Nc
Fadden and j. G. Polster fixed up a
dose of dough and strychniue for rats
which were wont to ransack the eel
lar under Mr.. Polsier's drug store
every night and il was placed up on
shelves in the midst of lot Of cans
and bottles where 1t was believed
nothing would get hold of II but the
rats which 1t was desired should be
destroyed. About 8 o'clock that eve
ming, however, Mr.. Polster's fine bull
dog, known as "Bruce," was seen to
he acting rather curiously aud soon il
was discovered that he had gotten
hold of some of the deadly poison.
McFadden, who had gone home, was
sent for and everything possible was
done in efforts to save the life of the
poor dog, but TO no avail. His friend:
worked with him nearly all night
hut their efforts were fruilless and
finally, with fearful eyes they realized
the case was hopeless and that he must
die. He was buried west Of town
Sunday morning by Mac Gill aud
others. He was great pet AMI Q
valuable watch dog and his sad fate
is remembered with sorrow by lii
large circle of friends.

Now Years Number.

Very dainty and graceful in design
is the cover OF the double New Years
number of "The Youths Companion"
in its shades of red and brown. Inside
we find new serial story, entitled
"Kent Hampden," by that delightful
writer, Rebecca Harding Davis, and
in addition there are five short stories,
well illustrated besides poems aud
articles of popular information, 10 suit
all tastes ami ages. A noble article by
Professor Shaler, of Harvard univer-
sity, ON the earth, is the first in So
ries of articles on recent discoveries
in Science, to be written by the most
eminent living scientists. Reading
such number as this, it is easy Ia
understand why "The Companion"
has gained the largest circulation of
any weekly paper in the world. All
it's stories appeal in the widest way
to human sympathy, and are calcu-
lated 10 please not only young people,
but their elders as well. That such q
paper, so beautifully Illustrated, and
written by the most eminent of living
authors, can be sold for $l.75 year,
is really marvellous.

A large and mirthfnl crowd of CUES
sers assembled at the dry goods store
of. II. Tucker Thursday after dinner
to witness the &C uniting of the beans IN
the lamp and learn who was to receive
the large prize doll as the most accom-.
plished guesser. Col. Alexander War.
ner, T. G. Weaver and S. knight were
chosen as the judges and the count
was conducted to the satisfaction OF
every one present. The last bean in
the lamp numbered 1865. Upon ex.
animation of the 1891 guesses made it
was fourd that the nearest guess was
1850, within five of the exact number
and that four persons had guessed that
number. DIR. j. NJ. Duncan, 3. S.
Warner, Mrs. Ferris and II. 4. Gum,
who lives Ii miles south in the terri
tory, bad each guessed $3.50 and it re-
mains to be decided between them as
TO who gets The doll. A dozen CUES
sers. had numbers within 10 Of the ex-
act number of beans. Had the day
iI0t been so terribly disagreeable
doubtless hundreds would have at
tended the count, but as il was The
store was packed full with a Jolly
crowd and we believe the result
proved satisfactory to every body
