Never read in poor or dim light

Snowbound and Starving

St. Paul, March 20.-Dispatches
from the Summit, Cut Bank and 9TH
er Montana points indicate that there
has been large loss of life from star
walton and exposure along the line of
the extension of the Great Northern
over the Rockies to the Pacific coast
and Bellingham bay.
Great storms have been raging west
of the Missouri, and no work has
been possible eitherat grading OF rail-
laying for six weeks. More than 2O0O
men have been lying idle all this time,
hemmed in by mountains on one side
and impenetrable snowdrifts on the
other. Provisions, too, have run short
and the frail shapties in which the
men have been housed have kept out
but little of the piercing cold.
The men are penniless, and have
been compelled to forage through the
surrounding country as best they
could.
AT Summit, on the main range of
the Rocky mountains, 100 miles west
of Cut Bank, a number of men have
been engaged during the winter in
driving tunnel. When workmen ar
rived at Cut Bank and found that no
work could be done there, number
of them started otraverse the snow
to Summit.
Many arrived in safety, but many
also persisted from cold and expos
ure. The record so far is seven deaths
from freezing, while large numbers
had arms and legs severely frozen.
1t is also believed that a great ma
ny have persisted of whom no traces
have been found and whose bodies
have fed the wolves and COYOTES.

The Waterman comes to the fol-
lowing very sensible conclusion as to
Vermont's interest in tho Chicago
fair;
"The interests of Vermont which
would be benefited by advertising,
and which need state aid, will derive
little benefit from the Chicago fair.
The interests of Vermont which
will be benefited by this exhibition
out West are abundantly able to take
care of themselves. A few men who
have made fortunes in other kinds of
business, or who have inherited or
married fortunes, and who are breed
ing fancy cattle or making butter as
a sort of relief from the ennui of
wealth, may possibly disport them
selves at Chicago in 1892 or '93-if
the scheme does not collapse, but
the real farmers of Vermont can not
show their stuff there and they would
be outshOwn and outshone by the
bunptious West if they had the hard
ihood to attempt a display of their
products. The marble kings, the gran
tie companies, the makers of scales,
organs, saw-mills, farm machinery,
ETC., are able to show up at Chicago
with their own money and in their
own way. They do not need state
aid-or ask it. 'Judicious advertising
pays and $4,000, judiciously ex-
pended by the Vermont Board of
Agriculture, or some other competent
agency, in direct advertisement of
Vermont's advantages, with specific
information as to locality, size, de-
STABILITY and price of farms, Or other
matters about which an investor
wants to know, would be worth many
fold this amount squandered on this
Chicago scheme. In respect of tangi-
BILE results, the effort to help YER
mont by spending money at Chicago
is a good deal like trying to fertiize
ten-acre lot by letting down the
bars and tanning the aroma of
guano heap into it,"

Murder and Suicide.

st. Adams, March 20.-A murder
and suicide which occurred here this
evening have greatly excited the res
idents of this town.
Fred I, Harding, about ~ years
of age, some time ago married a
woman of dissolute habits named
Ellen Laduc. The couple have had
trouble recently, and young Harding
had posted his wife because she left
him. The two had been together
most all the afternoon at house on
Fairfield street, in the suburbs of the
village, where several persons of
doubtful reputation lived. Between
Z and 8 o'clock this evening Harding
and his wife left the house together
and walked several rods in the diIec-
ton of the village, when they stopped
and had some words. About Z AS
o'clock their bodies were found lying
in the road.
A boy says he heard Mrs. Harding
say she was going down the street,
but her husband objected to her going.
She started off, however, having only
her shawl thrown over her shoulders
and no hat on. Harding fired at her
and she fell, but got up shortly, say
ing, "You didn't hit me-" He fired
again and the woman fell after drop
ping her shawl and running half a
rod. Harding then shot himself, dy-
ing within few minutes. He pur-
chased his revolver, a 80 caliber
weapon, this morning at hardware
store in town. The authorities were
notified of the tragedy and the bodies
were removed to Undertaken Harvey's.
When found the body of the woman
lay near the sleigh track in the road
and that of her husband about rod
distant further from the beaten track
Harding married this woman, who
formerly lived in East Georgia,
against the wishes of his people. No
inquest was deemed necessary.
An examination showed that Hard
ing had shot himself over the apex of
the heart, and the bullet fired at the
woman entered her heart at the same
point -Four chambers Of the revol-
yer were found empty.
Harding left an envelope addressed
to his wife's father but its contents
are not revealed.

with the remnant of my blacks awaiting

of their exploit at Catorze, and in conse-
