PROCEEDINGS OF THE EvER REST
SOCIETY.

At the first annual meeting of the
above named society, the following
gentlemen were elected as officers
for the ensuing term: President, A.
Snub; recording secretary, Peter
Careless; treasurer, G. Divy; chap
lain, Brother Truezeal; reader, S.
Smallvoice; reciter, U. Speaksoft;
lecturer, Sam Quidnunc; janitor, b.
Seldom. The proceedings of the
last meeting were read and adopted
because they could not help them
selves. The president had snubbed
one of the members and wouldn't
apologize, SO the treasurer turned in
and licked them both. The Rev.
Truezeal protested against such can
nibal-like conduct and Quidnunc
gave him piece of his mind, but
the squabble was brought to a speedy
close by the janitor turning out the
gas.
This digest of the last meeting was
given by the newly elected presi-
dent, who got details too deeply
to become interested in anything for
the good of the lodge, but after be-
ing called to order by every member
in the room he gave way to the jan
itor, who then asked for an increase
of salary. AS he was only getting 10
cents night for his services, it was
thought expedient to raise it, 50 they
raised it to l24 cents; but even this
did not satisfy this ambitious youth.
He demanded less work and fewer
hours with all the gall of a modern
labor organization, and he got his
demands. This increased his gall
to such degree that he demanded
to be made lecturer, and as he was a
good pugulist an Office was at once
created for him. He was then asked
to give specimen of his skill, which
he did after the following panner.

LAST NIazT's ROBBERY.

William Malbeouf's saddlery store
was broken into and robbed last
night about $40 o'clock of two Colt
revolvers Al and 40 calibre, one
Remington pocket revolver, two
English bull dogs, one short and one
long barrelled; one 3s calibre COM
mon pistol, one 92 calibre pistol, and
two boxes of As cartridges. The
thieves broke a back window and
the noise of the falling glass aroused
Mrs. Nelson, who sleeps in the upper
story. She thought something was
wrong and went out to get help, but
could find nobody and returned
to her room.
Two men were stationed as
guards at the side door while their
companions broke the back window.
j. G. Jones and G. w. Mckay
searched for the thieves and the
stolen articles, without success, until
12 o'clock. There is no clue to the
robbers so far.

DIR. GRAVES MAY GO FREE.

DENVER, Feb. 1.-The supreme
court of Colorado granted stay of
Judgment in the case of DIR. Graves.
The granting of this supersedeas
means a new trial for the defendant.
1t will take at least ten months for
counsel on both sides to prepare the
case. Owing to the crowded condI-
ton OF the supreme court docket, two
or possibly three years may elapse
before the case reaches its turn. 1t
is possible that Graves will be re.
leased on bail, and this may possibly
end q remarkable trial.

Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1892-08-05

Because the Chinese are not skilled in
modern methods of scientific warfare we
are apt to underestimate their courage
and fortitude. Mr.. Hayward in his ac-
count of the recent rebellion against the
Chinese in Turkestan, relates remark
able instance of the latter.
The Turk, as the natives of Turkestan
are called, besieged the Chinese in the fort
of Yarkand The siege had continued for
two months and the garrison was in sore
straits.
The rebel leader knew that sooner or
later Yarkand must surrender. but claim
ing to be influenced by feeling of human
ity he sent in word that he would save the
lives of the old amban or viceroy ON con-
dition that he and all his followers should
embrace Islam.
1t is not necessary for creed to be divine
in order to induce its adherents to die for
it. The viceroy was disciple of Confu-
cius, and although this belief required no
strain on credulity or daily acts of self
pbnegation, he did not care to be coerced
into giving it up.
| When the last ration had been issued to
the garrison the old amban summoned
all his officers to his headquarters.
The meeting was held in the second
story. In the lower floor there were fifty
barrels of gunpowder, with a train, unseen
by the visitors, extending from the pow.
der and up under the chair on which the
old man received his subordinates.
The officers urged upon the yiceroy to
accept the terms of the enemy, or to offer
him a ransom which they were sure his
cupidty would not refuse
While they were wrangling about this
the viceroy's sons and daughters offered
their guests tea and the few remaining
sweetmeats, while he himself sat calmly
smoking ON his elevated chair, as calm as
If this were an ordinary reception.
Suddenly the discussion of ransom was
Interrupted by cannon shots, the war of
musketry and the wild cheers of the rebels
as they poured in over the undefended
walls.
A few minutes and the ring of the hoofs
of the Moslem horse and the clang of bride
chains and swords went up in the fort of
Yarkand with the exultant shouts:
allah Akhbar! Allah Akhbar!''
The frightened officers ran to the win
dows to see the swarming foe below in the
harrow streets
The old viceroy, now Joined by his wife,
motioned to his children. They gathered
about him and knelt at his feet.
He took long pull at his pipe and
shouted Farewell to earthn'
He bent calmly with the pipe in his
hand, turned the bowl down and shook the
embers on the train.
a flash, the hiss of serpent as the fire
ran down the train to the lower floor, and
the next instant the viceroy and his family
had vanished with the fort of Yarkand

A Market for Disease.

The great surgeons and physicians have
become so eager to invent some new proc
ess of treatment to alleviate or cure NOR
bid phenomena that the poor wretch who
develops in his system novelties of suffer
ing liable to occur to the wealthy may
from worldly point of view, consider him
self in high clover. He has only to let the
specialists know of it and he finds himself
the central attraction whenever he appears
among them.
Most of these subjects are members of
that class of individuals commonly known
as "bums," some having become such from
their actual inability to earn respectable
livelihood, and others never were anything
else. Specialists have a strange but doubt
less correct opinion that the tramp" who
wears himself out in low life is apt to con-
tract the same disease as the heavy swells
in high life. Thus, the poor victims who
would die without treatment become sub
jects of great respect, and sometimes affec-
tionate attention.
In this city, as well as in London, Paris,
Berlin and Vienna, there is thriving mar
ket for the possessors of curious maladies,
and in this city is a place known to the in
itiated few where those willing to give
themselves up to the surgeons scalpel can
find purchasers. Once within the portals
of this secret exchange the dying subjects
become as stock in the cattle market. -
