PLAINLY a case Of Hard Times

Fairhaven Herald; Two young
men were taking a pedestrian tour
through the Nooksack country re-
Gently, lost their way after MAX
ing the ascent of o mountain, and
were glad too seek quarters at a
lonely farmhouse. The woman in
charge got up an excellent supper,
killing chicken for them, gave
them a clean, comfortable bed, and
had savory breakfast for them in
the morning. When they asked
her how much they should pay
her, she replied in q deprecating
way that, as times were a little
hard, she would have to charge
them more than they would like
to pay, but 25 cents apiece would
be satisfactory. She was aston
ished when they gave her dollar
each, and probably thinks that
she entertained Vanderbilts una

Mr.. Butrick magnanimously do

to feed the hungry, in this case OBJ
serving that he trusted they would
use exceeding good care in the way
of handling their firearms in his

An incipient fire resulting from
stove pipe through the roof, was
quickly put under control by our

prompt action saved the building

an action of the council?
Already the monotony of wa;sS-

been broken by the hum of the

Of grain appear to meet the eye
on every hand as if by magic.
While the idle man with his bum
die of blankets is yet in the land,
he is not near SO numerous. The
yield and quality Of grain being
fair would be all that could be
asked by the farmer, only for the
democratic price it brings, while

Griffin landed on Solly's cheek. Solly
Griffin at the ropes. Solly swung wildly
and was doing all the rushing. They
both led and landed with no effect.
Round two-Smith again acted on
the aggressive, and adopted wild
rushing tactics. Grif1ed led with his
right and caught Solly in the neck. Solly
smiled and went in at his opponent, and
landed two heavy blows on the neck.
Smith chased Griffen around the ring,
and landed on his stomach. Solly let
Griffen land, too. but they had little eff
feet. Griffen landed hard on the neck,
and received two in return, and hot in
fighting followed, in which both came
out even.
Round three-Smith again came up,
and rushed Griffin. The latter landed and
caught Sol on the neck. Both landed
heavily on the stomach. Griffin cornered
Solly, but the latter smashed him in the
left eye. Solly landed on GrifHn's neck,
which staggered him. He uppercut him,
and landed on the stomach, and knocked
SoIly to the ropes. Sol went right at him.
and landed a blow which nearly upset
John. Both were still very fresh.
Round four-They went at it hard and
heavy. Griffin landed two on Soils neck
which made him grunt. Sol retaIiated
with hot one on the stomach. Sol got
one on the neck which sent him reeling.
Sol appeared to be very groggy, and
caught John on the point of the jaw and
knocked HIM down and out.
1t was very much unexpected and the
crowd was under the impression that Sol
was all but out, but he landed with a
straight-arm blow which rendered the
Braintree lad unconscious for ten min
utes. The fight is said to be one of the
hottest ever fought between feather
weights. Smith did all the leading, and,
although his blows were wild, he evil
IDENTIFY knew his man.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 10.-Mrs. Mary
Carroll was stabbed tonight by her hus-
band, Peter Carroll, in the Plaza on Fol-
som street. He literally hacked her to
pieces with a large pruning knife, and her
recovery is doubtful. Carroll is laborer,
is years of age, but for some time he has
been out of employment on account of
his dissolute habits. His wife has been
compelled to work to support herself and
four children, but of late has been con-
fined to her rooms on account of illness.
Carroll tonight made demands upon her
for money, in order that he might con-
tinue his spree. She furnished him with
small amount and then left the house.
He followed her, and upon overtaking.
her in the Plaza proceeded to butcher
her. Carroll has been arrested and
charged with assault to commit murder,
and will be held to await the result of his
Wife's injuries.

NEVADA SILVERITFS
Called Upon to Protest Against Re-
pealing the Silver Act.

pealtng the Silver Act.
WINNEMUCCA New, July 1O.-The
Chairman of the State Central Committee
of the silver party of Nevada has issued
the following call:
The gold bugs, with Grover Cleveland
at their head, are making a most de-
termined effort to have the Sherman law
repealed at the extra session of Congress,
and gold standard permanently fixed
upon this county. Intimidation and
bribery and executive threats are their
weapons. The friends of silver in nearly
all of our sister States are theoretically
organizing for the conflict. Shall Ne
vada lag behind? She was foremost of
all States in her loyalty to the silver
cause in the late Presidential campaign.
1t is time she was heard from in the pres
ent crisis.
LET every silver club in the State and
every election precinct meet in conven-
ton in their respective localities and pass
resolutions in earnest protest against the
repeal of the Sherman law, unless free
coinage bill be substituted, and forward
the same to our Senators and Represent
atives in Congress.
ut has been suggested that State Con-
vention be called, but on account of the
great expense such convention would en-
tail upon the delegates, and because it is
better to have an expression of the people
in each neighborhood in mass meeting,
we most earnestly urge the adoption of
the latter plan, and to secure unanimity
of action we advise such meetings to be
held on Saturday the 10Th instant.
at is of the highest importance that
Nevada shall be represented at the meet
ing of the Bimetallic League, to be con-
vened at Chicago on the lst day of Au-
gust, and we suggest that the Silver
Leagues of each county, so far as possible,
name delegate to that meeting"

BREAK FOR LIBERTY.

Seventy-flve Michigan Convicts At
tempt to Escape From Prison.
IONA (Mich.), July l0.-Seventy-five
convicts at the House of Correction made
a break for liberty this morning from the
various shops in which they were en-
ployed. The tinsmiths We're doing some
repairs and had a long ladder. This the
convicts seized and attempted with it to
scale the west wall. The Warden had an
intimation that something was brewing.
and had doubled the guard on the walls.
These gathered at the point where the
break was attempted, and there followed
general fight between the convicts and
the guards on the walls and the convicts
and keepers inside. Oscar Miller gained
the top of the wall and was shot dead.
Convict Charles E. Jones was hit on the
head and will probably die, and convict
William Eager was badly wounded and
will probably die. All were finally
driven back and locked in their cells.

Number of Persons Required to Show
Cause Why They Draw the Same.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The Pension
Bureau has notified great many PEN
sioners throughout the entire country
now drawing pensions under the Act Of
June q, 1890, known as the Dependent
Pension Act, that the payment of their
pensions will be suspended for sixty days,
during which time they will be required
to show cause why they should continue
to draw pensions. This action is pursu-
ant to a recent ruling of Secretary Smith
to the effect that a pensIoner under the
Act of June q, 1890, drawing a pension
for total disability must be shown to be
physically incapable Of manual labor. 1t
Is estimated at the pension Office that al
though the work has been but recently
begun, something over 1000 suspensions
have already been made.

San Diego Schools.

SAN DIEGO, July lot has been de-
cided to hold a special election in the San
Diego School District on August Sd to set
tie whether funds shall be raised to main
tain the city schools. The reason for this
is that last year some of the citizens OBJ
jected to paying special school tax levied
by the Board of Supervisors and proposed
this year to have the authority come direct
from the people. 1t is expected the vote
will be very heavy for the tax.
