to Mrs. Bowser:
"Doctorsl Drug storesl Faugh! In
week from now you won't know your

After couple of hours Mr.. Bowser
poured off two quarts of dark liquid
which gave out an odor similar to that
of ripe cucumber flung against the
smokehouse door in August. Being
alone in the kitchen at the time, he OF
course took down the roller towel to
strain 1t through. He then added to
the liquid half pint of whisky, an
ounce of cloves, one nutmeg and half a
pound of sugar, and put the whole in
an old fruit jar.
'"There-that's off my mindp' he said,
as he returned to the sitting-roorh.
'"The dose, Mrs. Bowser, will be one
tablespoonful three times day for you
and half that for the baby"
"If we need it."
"If you need It! Do you suppose I'd

eyes ten days ago, and l may not be in
time to save our child. The ignorance
and obstinacy of some women is amaz

She was interested in book and dio
not care to pursue the argument fur
ther, and nothing more was said about
the tonic until bedtime. Then he went
to the pantry and took pretty hearty
pull at it, and as he came out wiping off
| his chin he said:
"You can begin tomorrow morning,
Lands! but that is tonicl really
feel year younger for that one dose" !"
"Then you won't need to buy any
other kind"
Probably not, but I am the best
Judge Of that. If you want to collapse
like an old washtub after six weeks OF
dry weather that's your lookout, but l
propose to live as long as possible and
to have the company of our child"
She had her revenge sooner chan
could be looked for. Mr.. Bowser had
snored about ten times when his toes
began to crack. And minute later he
was clawing around with his legs, and
when Mrs. Bowser gave him nudge
to arouse him from a supposed night
mare he sat up in bed and exclaimed:
LANDS! but how queer feell I'm

"Yes."
"Well, I'm afraid I'm going to be

HOW 10 Manage unruIy Sheep.

See that the fences are well put up
before the sheep are turned out II
they form the habit of getting out Of a
certain pasture it is not an easy matter
to stop them, but If those same sheep
are moved to pasture where they
are not acquainted they will very often
lie quiet. A brush, rail, board or wire
fence to 81 feet high, If made close
enough, will usually stop sheep, but it
will generally be necessary to top-pole
a stone wall If it be 4 feet high. IL
sheep are not kept on both sides of the
wall the poles should not be placed
over the center but towards the side on
which the sheep are kept This win
make it much more difficult for them
to climb over. If fences be properly
attended 10 and in season there viii be
very little trouble with unruly sheep.

Special TO the Gazette.
GALVESTON. TEX, April 6-The fact is
developed to-day that the wife Of Christian
Benman, tailor. residing on West Market
street. eloped with Emile Petersen, Z cook
and near neighbor of the Benmans. Mrs.
Benman left with her child, girl two and
half years of age, and 500 of her huS
bands cash Petersen left an invalid
wife, taking Il gold watch ard leaving her
destitute and in arrears for three months
rent. The elOpemenJ took place last Fri
day, but was not discovered until yester-
day. Mrs. Bennan. on Friday last, said
she was going to visit her sister at High
land Station, few miles in the interior.
She departed, and. not returning, Benman
wired his Sister-in-law if his wife was
there and received q reply that she
had not been there. He began an investiga-
ton and found that Mrs. Petersen was
minus her husband. This aroused Mrs.
Peterseu'S suspicious and she joined Ben
man in the investigation. which resulted
in the discovery that the faithless huS-
bald had purchased tickets for himself,
wife ard child at the Mallory steamship
Office for passage to New York on the
steamer Leoua and had sailed Saturday
morning under the name of ErlaDdsen,
PeterSen's mothers name. Benman started
to-day by rail TO overhaul the guilty couple
at New York, recover his child and Mrs.

band, when, he says, the worthless couple
can go as he doesn't want to have anything
more to do with them.

MORE ARRESTS.
Several Rioters and Deputies Placed Under
Bonds in The Coke Regions-The
Latest Outlook.

PIT1sBrRG, Pa, April 6.-Up to tonight
several more rioters have been arrested and
eight deputies who did the shooting.
The squire before whom the hearings
were held found the president somewhere,
and held those charged with riot ana carry
ing concealed weapons in $1,000 while
the deputies charged with murder We're
released on $500 bail.
It is said the two wounded strikers
previously reported as having died Satur-
day, will be privately buried tomorrow.
General Manager Lynch of the Prick
company, has just issued statement in re
ply to an appeal of Rev. Father Lamb
ing, who has great power over the
strikers. Lynch says it is no
longer question of wages, but OF per-
sonal liberty, rights of property and po-
tency OF the laws.
Regarding the general impression that
an amicable conference will settle the diff
ficulty, the general manager of Prick
interests says it will be time
enough to confer with the leaders
of the strike when the military of the state
cannot enforce the law. This means fight
to finish, no matter what results.
Lynch is empowered to voice, not only
the sentiment of the Prick people, but of
three-fourths Of the operators.

Trouble Brewing.

CALCUTTA, April G.-If present indications
turn out TO be correct, there is serious
trouble brewing in India for the British
forces. Emboldened by the success OF the
Manipueris, who recently crushed the
Ghoorkas escort accompanying Chief Mis-
sioner james W. Quinton in his efforts to
settle disputes, which have occurred
among the rival chieftains of Assam, the
Miranzi, in Kahat Territory, District of
Peshawer, division of Puniab, have risen in
arms and are attacking the British troops
along the whole length of their lines. 1t is
also known that the MiranZi attack is being
pushed SO vigorously that strong reinforce
ments have been hurriedly dispatched TO
the front Full details as to this new up
rising are withheld by the British author
tiles here In addition to the MiranI
trouble, kilograms from Rangoon announce
that the Hakuchins laid in ambush in a
favorable locality awaiting the passage of
small British column on the way from one
military post to another. When the Brit
ish force was well inside the trap laid for
it the HalIuchins suddenly opened fire
upon the soldiers and instantly killed
Lieutenant Forbes and five men and
stretching eleven officers severely wounded
upon the ground This column, however,
returned the enemy's fire with such effect
that the British force was able to retreat
from the dangerous position into which it
had been led and thus possibly escaped total
humiliation.

CONSIDERATION POSTPONED.
The United States Supreme Court Afirms
Two Decisions Of the
Courts of Wisconsin and Colorado. and

by Secretary Noble.


WASHINGTON, April 5.-Canadian cabinet
officers, who are in Washington Tor the pur-
pose of discussing reciprocity with Secre-
tary Blaine, left their hotel just before noon
to meet Sir Julian Pauncefote at the Brit
iSh legation. Accompanied by him. they
called upon Secretary Blaine at his home.
Their stay lasted but a few minutes, and,
returning to their hotel, they announced
that they were about TO leave Washington
il few hours.
As arrangements had been made by
the members of the party that indicated
their purpose TO stay in Washington al
least Il week the news of the intended
sudden departure caused some surprise.
This was set at rest, however. by
statement from Sir Charles Topper. Sir
Charles said he had visited Secretary
Blaine last Thursday and says he was
courteously received by him. He eX-
plains the desire of the Canadian govern
ment to lay the foundation for negotiations
that should broaden the trade relations
between the Dominion and the United
States
Secretary Blaine met the proposal favor
ably, and Sir Charles returned TO Ottawa TO
report the result to his government, and
secure the presence in Washington to-day
OF Mr.. Foster. minister of marine and Mir.
Thompson. minister Of justice, Secretary
Blaine having arranged to receive them.
COULDN'T POSTPONE HIS TRIP
Subsequently Secretary Blaine learned
that the president desired TO be present
when negotiations We're undertaken, and
his projected Southern and Western trip
would not admit OF that if negotiations were
to proceed at once. and accordingly Secre-
tary Blaine informed Sir Julian PaUncefote
that a poStponement would be desirable,
and the minister so teIegrdphed Sir Charles
Topper at Ottawa, but the party had
started for Washington before the telegram
was received and was not informed of the
change of programme until this morning.
Messrs Foster and Thompson will leave
Washington a, 8 O'Clock this afternoon for
Ottawa, and Sir Charles Upper will 90
straight 10 London. He SAYS that Sir
Julian Pauncefote will notify the party
when to return to Washington, which will
be as soon as the president can conveniently
give his attention 10 the negotiations.
After an interview with Secretary Blaine
this morning a party called at the White
House and left their cards for the presi-
dent.

New ORLEANS, La, April 6.-Despite the
efforts Of the people of Gretra, the trans

than twO-thirdS of the town IS now under
water water in consequence of the AmeS

CURED the Gretna people, seeing the dam
ger to their town, set to work TO build q
levee II its rear to keep out the water, and
nearly the entire population turned out to
work on il The water. however, rose
faster than expected, and the new levee,
being hastily constructed, was weak and
cavcd badly, and yesterday gave way in
several places. The probabilities are that
all Gretna will be flooded within the next
ten days. The danger will be very great,
IS the numerous vegetable and stock farms
there will suffer and the factories be closed.
A large proportion of the people in the
flooded section have moved to other points,
where they have been given accommoda-
tons by their neighbors. Those who have
remained are constructing false floors to
their houses and will try to weather it out,
if the water does not rise much more.
