II is understood that the practice that has
existed ON the Canadian frontier of taking
orders for clothing in this state and having
it made in Canada, and then brought to
some point near the boundary line, on the
Canadian side. and there delivered to the
purchaser, who brings it into Vermont with
out payment Of duty, is to he carefully cx-
amined into by the special agents of the
treasury department, and the customs OIL
GERS on the frontier will report each case
that comes to their knowledge to the United
States district attorney. with a request that
the party bringing clothing into this district
may be indicted in the United States Courts.
If this plan is carried out, it will make it an
expensive operation both for the Canadian

to get their clothing in the manner above

N Life OF a Lady Student at the
C~nlyernity.

h Life Of a Indy Student at the
University.
st. Paul, MAY 21.-An unusually sud
case of suicide occurred Saturday, and
Claudine Carter, having taken a dose of
poison while laboring under temporary
alteration of mind, lies dead in her home
at 3O21 First avenue south, Minneapolis.
She was a student at the university, and
Saturday morning left for that seat of
learning apparently in usual spirits. A
short time after the moo hour, and after
c; ting her lunch, she confessed to 4 Lady
friend that she had taken arsenic with
her lun.:il and was feeling sick. A doctor
was Immediately called, who administered
an emetic, and she soon felt much better
and was regarded out of danger. Her
friend accompanied her home, where they
arrived ut about 4 o'clock. Soon after
Miss Carter becnme much worse, and
gradually sinking. died ut $50 o'clock
that night. She was t%wenty-four years
Of age, and the daughter of s. e.. Carter.
Miss artcr had conceived a passion for
newspaper work, and was q well known
figure in some of the local newspaper Of
fees. She was unsuccessful inobtaining
q permanent place as a reporter, and this
seems to have preyed upon her mind.
She took great interest in the trials of
Dugan and White, and was present in
court nearly every day, taking voluminous
notes. The coroner will hold no inquest
over the body.

Contest for a hoy.

Huron, S. D.. May 21.-An interesting
case was heard III Judge Woods cou
on Saturday. Mrs. G. l.. Hanson filed
a petition in the probate court asking
that Il guardian be appointed for the five
year-old :'::, Of her late husband. 1t
appears that The child is the offspring Of
the rri"v" of Mr.. Hanson to a woman
who i; now the wife of a Mr.. Wentworth,
she having procured a divorce from
Hanson some years since. The child
was taken possession of by its father
when its mother remarked some three
years ago, and was kept by him until
the time of his death some three months
since. Now the first Mrs. Hanson seeks
to obtain The child by being appointed
guardian. To this the second wife OBJ
jects. aud in her petition asks that the
child's grandfather on its fathers side
be named as its guardian. During the
hearing Of the case the little fellow sat
much of the time Oh its mothers lap,
but all the while appeared to show a
preference for its stepmother. Judge
Wood has reserved his decision.

ment. The affair occurred last Friday
night, but has been kept quiet until TO-
day, hoping the whereabouts Of the

Meilkc. a farm hand employed in the
vicinity of the city, and Miss Ada Kick,
" tiftccn.ycar-old girl. whose widowed
mother also lives just outside the city.
Miss Kick was living with Becker, the

livery team from Hamilton's stables,
saying he was going to visit a sick rcla-
tive. Hamilton to-day swore out q war
rant and has put officers on track of the
