An Aged Rockville Woman the Victim Of g MYsterlous AasauIt.


 of 8 Mysterious Assault.
 ROCKVILLE, April 29.-Mrs John Feeley, aged 75, living on Grove street, was nearly murdered in bed shortly after o'clock this morning. Mrs Feeley sleeps on the lower floor of the house and an hour before dawn some un- known person entered stealthily by the window and approaching the bed took her by the throat and attempted to choke her. Her screams awakened others in the house and neighbors near by. The assailant made his escape be- fore he could be identified or captured. Mrs Feeley was found unconscious and nearly suffocated. At first she was SUD- posed dead. Her mouth was torn and her throat showed signs of hard tus- sle. Mrs FeeleY is conscious to-day, but physicians say her condition is critical. She says the man who entered had no coat on and in the encounter she tore off part of his shirt sleeve. From this alone the police have clue to work on. No possible reason can be given for the crime. Mrs Feeley is not known to have any enemies. She was not reputed to have money in the house and no robbery was attempted. The affair is mys- teriOuS.

Down With Butter.

KELLY again comes forward as the friend of ha'consumer. He has done his part in bringing down prices on bread, flour, eggs and sugar and now he is going to bring the butter market to a point where the poor as well as the rich can buy the famous ''Vermont PJint Butter" and Elgin Creamery. Owing to the large quantity of hay and corn grown in this country there is no reason why the best tub butter should sell for more than % cents per pound, Kelly commences to- day to sell at this figure and gives you a guarantee that it won't cost any mo till Nov. 1, '02. How can Kelly do it buying direct and selling for cash. Under this same system he sells you four at $5.5 50 per barrel, your eggs for IS cents dozen and go pounds of sugar for $1.
