An Indian Suspected.

MORA, Mimi, Oct. 1.-THE body of
Albert Peterson has been brought in.
The Indian who was with Peterson is
now here. Some suspect him of the
murder, but there is no reasons why
they should. Further investigation
shows that Peterson was not shot
through a window, as was first reported,
but the murderer was in the immediate
room with him.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. THE state.
ment is made here that General Counse
Cromwell's resignation had been de.

out within 30 days. The demand was
made, it is said, because Cromwell was
identified with the Adams faction an6
this would tend to make his services

A Word About Walnuts,
iMillerton Telegram. l


 Now. that '.the melancholy days have come." and the nut-gatherer is abroad in tue land. I think it. good time to say something about a matter that has puzzled me ever since I have been a resident of Duchess County. I have never been able to understand why nuts gathered from hickory trees are SO generally called "walnuts" I have asked a good many old residents of this section, but no one has satisfactorily solved the problem. All that has been said merely affirms it to be ''the GUS tom," but custom must have an origin. I would be glad to learn the origin of this custom.
 The fact is, the hickory tree and the walnut tree are radically different. Bot snists class the former in the genus Carya. and the latter in the genus Juglans, there being several species in each genus. To the nnscientific, the most noticeable difference, apart from the wood and leaves of the trees. IS to be seen in the husk covering the nuts. The husk of the walnut is one piece and breaks irregularIy, while that of the hickory-nut is in four equal sections.
 Now, if hickory trees are not walnut trees, why should bickory-nuts be call ed walnuts? Why would it not be as reasonable to call walnEts hickory-nuts?

1. Sister Parsons,o Letter.

E.fitor of Ne,os:
 You are growing over Winsted and the other towns that were SO unfortunate as to have majority in favor of license. Yes, you may point your bayonets at us, we are ready for anything. We think down here of doing as the school teacher did who hired out to manage school that all had given up because it was so hard. Says he, ''let me try it. 7" He soon saw how things were, so he made up his mind to go in with them. "hail fellow, we'll met" The result was. stove pipes were knocked down. windows smashed, bloody noses and broken heads. Then the teacher called out "which do you want boys. order or disorder?" Every boy cried ''give us order" So if every one should take out license to sell rum, keep an open saloon for the coming year land Ne be- lieve if it is right to sell it, all should be allowed the chance, not two or three. ] how soon would all our citizens cry .'give us no license" But this is not enough; we must have general prohi- bition for the state, and total abstinence for tl.e individual.
 NJ. A PARSONS. Ibid it ever occur to you Sister Parsons" that if you have "total abstl hence for the individual" you do not need ia general prohibition for the state?" Furthermore, did it ever occur to you eSister Parsons" that thus far it has been impossible to secure "a gen. eral prohibition for the state" conse- quentlv tho 'local option law" is wise measure for it virtually gives prohibi- ton to more than half of the towns in the state? Better half loaf than no bread at all. Under the ''local option law '97 towns in the stateIlast week voted no license, and 66 towns voted license. Had the battle been fought on the line, or under the banner of general prohi- bition" instead of on the line of the 'local option law" the prohibition ticket would have been defeated by the old political parties, and the saloon would have prevailed throughout the entire state instead of in 66 towns. Yes, Gen eral Prohibition would have been .'bottled up" like General Butler al Bermuda Hundred. EDITOR NEWS e.

There is one medicine which every family should be provided with. We refer to Chamberlain's Pain Balm When it is kept at hand the severe pain of burn or scald may be promptly re- lieved and tLe sore healed in much less time than when medicine has to be sent for A sprain may be promptly treatI ed before inflammation sets in, which in- sures cnre in about one-third- the time otherwise required. Cuts and bruises should receive immediate attention, be- fore the parts become swollen. and when Chsmberlain's Pain Balm is applied it will heal them without matter being formed. and without leaving a scar. A sore throat may be cured in one night. A piece of flannel dampened with this liniment and bound on over the seat of pain, will eu<e lame back or pain in the side or chest in twenty-four hours. It is the most valuable, however, for rheu- matism. Persons afflicted with this di- sease will be delighted with the prompt relief from pain, which it affords, and it can be depended upon to effect a com plete cure. For sale by druggists and dealers everywhere.
