leans, was assassinated by Italians. 1T
is supposed to have been the work OF Il
secret order OF Sicilians known as the
Malta society. At least a dozen We're
arrested on suspicion and their trial, or
the trial OF nine OF them, lasted over a
month and resulted in their acuuital.
This caused great indignation among
the citizens as the evidence against the
parties was convincing and it was open
ly charged that the jury had been tam
pered with. A public meeting OF citizens
was called in which prominent business
and professional men participated
The crowd proceeded to the jail whicl
they soon opened, aud wherever found
in cells or corridors, the Italians wer'
mercilessly shot down. Eleven Wer'
killed. A coroncrs jury reported thl
fact, but was silent as to who did tn
work. Italians OF New York, Chicago
and other cities have held indignation
| meetings and call on the government f
see that the perpetrators oi the outrag
are punished.

Fresh Peanuts For Insomnia.

The Rev. DR.. Theodore B. Lyman,
Episcopal Bishop of North Carolina.
has written the following letter to the
Raleigh News and Courier.
ri think / have made valuable dis
covery, and am anxious that others
should also enjoy the benefit OF it.
For nearly two years have been
suffering greatly from sleeplessness at
night and frequently have not been
able to sleep more than one or two
hours during the night. l have tried
a great number of proposed remedies.
some of which have helped me a little,
but not for any length of time. A
little more than fortnight ago, while
staring at the house OF a friend in the
country, my good hostess brought into
the parlor quite late in the evening a
bountiful supply of freshly roasted
| peanuts. As am fond of them, when
they are not too much cooked, l ate
quite freely of them, and soon after re-
tired to bed. ] found the next MORN
ing that enjoyed the best sleep ! had
experienced for oyer month ! at
tributed this at once to the peanuts,
and determined to try them again the
following evening; ! did so, and also
drank a glass Of fresh, sweet milk
after I had finished the peanuts.
That night I slept still better, and
now, for fortnight, have par
taken of the peanuts and milk every
night, and have not only slept re.
markably we'll, but have alsorecovered
from slight attack of indigestion
which had troubled me before. ! now

and not overdone, so as to be ct al

digestion which produces sleepless

Selling a saited Mine.

A dozen years ago, when eastern
tenderfoot capitalists were as thick as

single man of them was ready to buy
a silver mine before breakfast, four
of us who had jumped an old claim in
Nevada put up a job to catch sucker.
We won't down about twelve feet with
q shaft, struck s'indications, and then
raked and scraped for specimens to

and everything else we could spare.
and when we had the bait ready not
one of us could put up enough money
to pay weeks board in advance. We
placed our figures at $4,000, and as l
was the smoothest talker of the quar-
tette was selected as the spider to
