Montgomery, Mimi, Aug. w. H.
Miller, formerly owrer of the Touring
mill here, now owned by the James
Curry Milling company, when he saw
the explosion and the damage done by
the explosion became a raving maniac,
and the authorities Of the town con-
.cluded it advisable to have him COM
United to st. Peter. When he was in
formed that he must again go to st.
Peter, he became worse. and tried to
commit suicide by cutting the arteries
of his arm, but, owing to the dullness
of the table knife with which he tried
to commit the deed, he only partly sue
.ceeded, and his life was saved by the
early arrival of the doctor.

SOLD HIS WIFE.
Peculiar Contract Produced In
Court as Evidence

Peculiar Contract Produced In
Court as Evidence
Winona, Mimi, Aug. County At
torney w. B. Anderson to-day return
ed from the town of St. Charles and
tells Of very peculiar case which he
heard yesterday in which a man is
:said to have sold his wife for SIS. Mrs.
Matt Bernes was working for D. Far
rier. Recently Farrier found a GER
tain George Pinkham in Mrs. Bernes'
room. Her husband swore out a war
rant for Pinkham on the charge Of
adultery. The case was before Justice
rye yesterday. The defense sprang a
sensation by producing a contract
signed by the injured husband in
which he agreed for SIS to give up all
claim to his wife and let her go her
way and he his, and not to object
hereafter to her going with George
Pinkham. When placed upon the wit
ness stand Bernes admitted signing
the contract. The prisoner was bound
over to the next term of the district
court. The court, rs we'll as the coun-
ty attorney, thought that such a con-
tract as the defense produced could
not in the eyes Of the law be binding,
las no man has a right to sell his wife.

ridiculous, and of course the entire
state understands that it's only
purposeis to secure federal appoint
ments at the hands Of the next
administration, in the event McKin-
ley should be elected. But that
class of men do not represent the
people, and they will never know
how utterly ridiculous they have
made themselves until the oppor
tunity is given the voters of the
state to express an opinion of them.
In conclusion, let me urge of true
republicans to stand by the prin-
ciples of their party, the chief prin-
ciples of which are protection and
bimetallism. If we adhere to these
lines, we shall carry this state the
coming fall, and if we do not, we
shall loss the state and shall de-
serve the loss. Now, off this be
reason, make the most of it."

How to Treat a Wife.

First, get wife; second, be pa
tient. You may have great trials
and perplexities in your business,
but do not therefore, carry to your
home a cloudy or contracted brow.
Your wife may have trials, which,
though of less magnitude, may be
hard for her to bear. A kind word,
tender look, will do wonders in
chasing from her brow all clouds of
gloom.-To this we would add al
ways keep bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy in the house. 1t is
the best and is sure to be needed
sooner or later, Your wife will then
know that you really care for her
and wish to protect her health. For
sale by J. F. Cook, Jr., Druggist.

Mr.. J. P. Beeler proved him
self to be the most accommodating
man in town during the high water.
He kept his team going across the
flooded district nearly the whole
time the water was up, and most
of the time he had a boat in use
all for the accommodation of the
public.

Ex-Congressman Sweet has
written a long letter defending the
action of the boilers at St. Louis.
1t is written in his usual forcible
style. 1t is bold, plain exposi-
ton Of the case. After reviewing
the facts leading up to the bolt,
Mr.. Sweet pays his respects to the
critics in the following language:
We are opposed, first, by those
who believe in the gold standard.
For these opponents we have a
profound respect.
There are those who are opposed
to the action taken by us at st.
Louis, because while favoring the
free coinage of gold and silver they
believe the issue of protection to be
paramount to the reinstatement of
silver. We also fully respect the
opinions of these men and consider
their rights in the premises.
Then we are also opposed by an
element in ;politie.sSow known as
the "pie eaters" They are called
pie eaters in the east and the term
is so applicable that it will I'M
questionably become familiar in
American politics. 1t is applied to
those whose first principle in poll
tics is to obtain Office, and whose
only guide and inspiration is the
hope of plumber. The opposition
of these people we neither respect
nor care for.
AS to the future course of the
boilers, Mr.. Sweet outlines their
course as follows:
/ am in favor of holding our reg
ular state and county conventio ns
| am in favor of nominating straight
county and state republican tickets
They shall have my best and earn
est support. l am in favor Of send
ing a senator to the senate, and &
representative to the house, who
will vote for protection to Ameri
can industry, whenever bill
thoroughly in line with Republican
principles is presented, but | be
lieve all those who are honestly
and earnestly for the reinstatement
of silver should repudiate the golC
plank adopted at st. Louis, anC
should unite in the support of :
candidate for president who vii
do all in his power to orystaliz
into law this supreme hope of thu
people of the United States. Thi
is the question which the state con
vention must decide. If the tw
first classes who are opposed to on
action at st. Louis shall be in th
majority, then we must submit an
in that submission, according
my best judgment, will end tn
supremacy of the republican part
in our state. If we are true to GU
selves and to the people who hav
!, heretofore trusted us, our supremac
will continue.
AS to the "Pie Eaters" l neithe
respect nor care for them. The
may say or do what they pleas
