WARS MN TEaRoRs.
Devices FOR Slaughter That are Almost lie
yoEd Imsxiuation's Grasp.


indications arr that when two Euro
pean armies eventually meet on tho
field, if the war talk ever resolves it5elf
into actual conflict, good many men
will faint away in terror Of their adj
versaries. The inventions" which have
been brought out lately in France, Ger
many and Austria, and which have beeii
purchased by the governments Of those
countries, are innumerable, and every
one Of them is designed to slaughter hu-
man life at Il rate that appals the imag'
nation The most intense and theatric
secrecy is maintained concerning all
these inventions, and only few gen
eral facts regarding them have been
made public. The German army, 1t is
understood, is armed with rifles which
will send a ballet through four men
standing enc behind the other 1T dis
tance of 21s miles from the rife. Aus
tria has machine gun which shoots
several thousand bullets minute, which
is operated by steam and controlled by
a single gentleman with n waxed mus.
tache and monocle in his left eye, who
lightly turns crank At least this is
the condition Of things according 20 the
latest illustrated journals at hand. The
man with the cyeglass can turn the
crank fast enough TO sweep 80, 600 OF
40, 200 men Into eternity during tbe
luncheon hour.
Incidentally German tailor has in
vented a coat that makes the wearer
absolutely indifferent 10 bullets at any
range, and the Italians have machines
for throwing very small aud almost ia
visible torpedocs a distance Of nearly q
quarter Of mile The to.pe,,oes dc.

A HAPPY HOME.

Hometown to make it happy-was Rev.
l.. d. Temples theme at the Baptist church
last Sunday evening. A congregation
which filled every available seat listened as
the speaker said, in substance: Employ
ment is necessary to a happy life. No
woman should be contented to dawdle. The
husband who is willing to let his wife sup
port the family when he is able to do it is
a vagabond. Husbands and wives should
cultivate confidence in each other and share
each others perpleXities. They should be
patient with each other and act the part of
true gentility in all their relations with one
another. Men and women need making
over in order to be ideal husbands and
wives. Too much evil human nature ac-
counts for unhappy marriages. More of
the spirit of Christ is needed in the heart.
Grave responsibilities rest on husbands and
wives. Through the family an individual
makes himself felt for good or ill upon the
remotest times. In every human being
there is mingled the bloods of a. hundred
races. Every person is product of the
righteousness, the wickedness, the religion
and education of countless ancestors, each
of whom is in part responsible for the well
fare of every descendant. 1t is a fearful
thing to transmit evil tendencies and ma
lures to curse the future. 1t is being done
every day through the family relation. Sup
pose some miscreant should go at night to
the reservoir from which the water supply
of this community comes and cast in a sub
tie but terrific poison. Tomorrow it would
have spread through all our water mains,
and in week the community and state
would be draped in mourning for the dead.
Through the family we can sweeten OF
poison the stream of human life. Let us
cast in not bitterness but blessing, not
poison but balm, not consumptions, scrofu,
lous and insanities, but physical strength,
mental vigor and moral righteousness. "
Mr.. Temple will continue in this course
of lectures two weeks longer, speaking
next Sunday evening on "Marriage as q
VOCATION" touching on the subject of di

Burglars In BernardsiOn.

The store of X. l.. Crowell IL Son in
Bernardston was broken into Saturday
night. An attempt was apparently first
made to force the front door and not sue
ceeding rear window was forced up.
The burglars evidently came intending to
blow up the safe, as they left behind bit
stock, wrench, chisels, files and iron
wedges, which they had no occasion to use.
The safe has not been locked for years,
and has on the door very conspicuous
notice to the profession that mo funds
are kept here" They, however, found a
small amount of scattering silver coin, and
in the money drawer some nickels and
pennies. After the money matter was
settled they took two pairs of No. 10 shoes
and stockings to match. This is the sec
ond break in Bernardston within few
weeks. In the same time there have been
burglars at Mortified and Montague.

SlOOO was offered by the town. States At

Murdoch in Hanover. 1t remained there
until Wednesday night, when it was again
buried in the family lot in Norwich. Gift
ford denies his guilt. The reward of $1,000
may go to DR.. Bowles, the proprietor of
the Newton inn, if there is conviction.
John O'Donnell, another medical stu

no ground for such a story. The people
still believe that it was a case of suicide.

Canned Corn.

There are various qualities and

we "struck it rich" this year, sure,
for we have positively got the finest
thing in canned corn that we ever
saw. We don't like to praise an
article too much, but we can't speak
too highly of these goods. Why, it
fairly makes one think it is about
the middle of August Just to open
can and smell of it. This corn has

MAS sACHUsnTTs NOTES.
Levi Fournier OF Montague Charged
with Killing his wife, who was stella
wallace, n Native of Green River.

Levi FOurnier OF Montague Charged
with Killing his wife, who was stella
Wallace, Native of Green River.
Miss Stella Fourier died at her home in
Montague, Mass, Tuesday night of last
week under circumstances which have
aroused the suspicion of murder. Her hus-
band returned from Greenfield during the
evening and few minutes later he went to
the home of neighbor and told him that
his wife was either dead or dying. Medi-
cal assistance was summoned at once, but
the woman never revived. Fourier says
that when he returned at 9:40 his wife
arose from the bed and unlocked the door.
He was surprised few minutes later when
he entered the sleeping room to find her
lying on the bed, face down. She was un-
conscious and he summoned help as soon
as possible.
Fourier is a Frenchman, 81 years old.
His wife was Stella Wallace, aged %, an
American. They were married in Green
field five ears ago. Mrs. Fournier's father
lives in Green River, but she was brought
up in the family of Mr.. and Mrs. PlinyS d.
Martindale of Greenfield. Three children
were born to them, Che oldest, girl of four,
being the only one living. After their first
child was born Mrs. Fourier went to the
home of her foster parents, and suit was
brought against Fourier for non-support.
He won his case as he was willing to sup
port his wife at home. He claims that
after his wife returned TO him they lived
happily.
Fourier was arrested Saturday and on
being arraigned pleaded not guilty. HI
was charged with assault upon his wife
choking and strangling her. Bail was fxeC
at $4,000 and in default of that sum he wa
taken to Jail. He wept piteously. Hi
hearing will be held Saturday. The re
suit of the inquest by Turner's Falls ply
sicians has not been made public. TIT
little Fourier girl has been taken to Greer
River by her grandfather, Joseph Wallace
