paper reports Of a lit.
tie sensation in that village.
It is stated that a newly married
gentleman returned home with a
cargo of tangle-foot a trife larger
than he could properly handle. In
lieu of this cargo he had evidently
disposed of his money, watch and
jewelry. The wife, a young,
handsome and accomplished lady,
became enraged at this state of af.
fairs and with a revolver in he1
clothing, she visited the saloons
and compelled the return of all
her husbands belongings. He,
wishes were promptly complied
with. She gave the saloon men
an Injunction never again to sell
her husband liquor. While it is
evident that the saloonkeeper is
not enjoying himself all the time,
it also appears that there are oc:

that hilarious young married man

Though cherries to you. the logging camp

The mills are closed.-Old Winter is king;
Fair spring is under heel.
Base tyrant he Is, with favors for none,
ne rules with scepter of steel.
But ere very long, before southern winds,
He'll retire with many frown
The mills Will start and assume new life
Next spring, 'when the drives comes down."
Boilers, engines and burners are hushed;
The carriage Is standing still.
NOT sound from the trimmer, as 1t patientl,

For the starting of the MILL
The bands and gangs in idleness lie;
The steam niger fails to pound;
But they all will hum like hive of bees

The wind whistling through the TALL grim stac
Is wont to moan in pity,
AS 1t contemplates the scene below
Like great deserted city.
Bereft Of life, like spectre it stands,
To its own isolation bound:
But Phoenix like it will rise from The gloom.

pillage, abduction and murder. His first
step in the form of reprisals was to be re-

evidence against him at his trial. He Killed
every one of them in turn either by stab

That system of squaring accounts being
settled to his satisfaction, he adopted q

man or girl who was so unfortunate as to
attract his notice. Wherever and whenever
he met with opposition he invariably
slaughtered his opponents.
So great was the sense of terror he in
spired that even his victims who escaped
with their lives dared not mention his
whereabouts. "Areski's dagger is long
one," they said in their expressive words,
land will surely reach the hearts of his en-
emies." And so he levied blackmail on the
natives, who nevertheless kept him we'll in

TOLD OUR OF BURDEN.

In the Minneapolis Journal ap-
pears letter written to Grover
Cleveland by Mike 0 Shea, a Spring

quote the following amusing sen.
fences:
The present state Of business is
due, of course, to the long misrule
Of the Republican party. The
persistent action Of the party in
encouraging manufacturing indus.
tries by levying a tariff on imports
has at last brought about the con-
dition of depression we SO long
have feared. Since the close of
the civil war 80 years of almost
continuous misrule and protective
tariff have passed into history.
During these years we were appar-
emily prosperous. The North and
the South were striving as hard
for supremacy in manufacturing
Industries and trade as they had
striven in the line Of battle. Rail-
roads were built from ocean to
ocean and from lake to gulf. Every
where was activity and demand
for labor. Cities extended their
limits, and the vast Western
prairies were changed to cultivated
farms. But we Democrats knew
that all this apparent prosperity
could not exist under a protective
tariff. We knew that, although
laboring men were better paid
than in any other country, and
had more comfortable homes and
home comforts, they were never
theless burdencd with an oppres.
sive tariff that robbed them sys-
tematically to build up millionaires.
| Ihey knew 1t not; but we felt 1t
to be our duty to enlighten them.
You, Grover, and I, and all of US
did our share in educating the
massesto know that they were
victims of robbery. The great poet
says: "He that is robbed, not
needing what is stolen, let him
not know it, he's not robbed at
ALL"
We proposed to let them know
it, and we did. They listened and
were convinced, and by the voice
of the people we gained control
of the ship. of state. You are the
