life, the thief of comfort, the destroyer of
happiness. 1t is the height of folly to suf-
fer when cure is easy, sure and speedy by
using Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. Use this great and won
derful remedy and the nervous, irritable,
weak and trembling feelings will disappear;
your sleep will be natural, calm, restful
and you will wake mornings feeling strong
and vigorous instead of tired and exhaust
ed all gloomy depression and sense of anx-
iety will fade from the mind; your nerves
will become strong and steady as steel,
your strength, energy and ambition will be
restored, and perfect health take the place
of weakness and debility
This remarkable dis overy, DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, should
not be classed with ordinary patent medi-
cines. 1t is the prescription of the most
successful specialist in nervous and chronic
diseases, DR.. Greene of "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass, and he can be consulted by
all without charge, personally or by letter.

Terrible Case of Leprosy in Boston.

A woman suffering all the pains and hid
eous tortures of leprosy was discovered in
South Boston few days ago and was re-
moved to Galloupe's island in the harbor.
That it is case of leprosy is not denied by
Dr. Durgin and other members of the board
of health. The woman is 30 years old, of
English birth, and her husband is hard
working man. They have five bright chill
dren and the family have lived in South
Boston five years. The doctors are salts
fled that neither the husband nor any of
the family have the disease. The family
have not mingled with their neighbors,
and, as the house has been thoroughly flu
migated and the other members of the
family properly cared for, there is no fear
of danger.

Waller is Guilty, but will he Released
from Prison.

The President sent to Congress Tuesday
long report from Secretary Olney, and ali
the correspondence in the case of John L.
Waller, ex-United States consul to Tama-
tive (Madagascar), now confined in a
French prison under conviction of treason.
Secretary Olney says that Waller was I'M
questlonably guilty of the offence charged
and that the penalty inflicted would be
considered exceedingly moderate, but the
French government proposes to release
Waller from further Imprisonment, and to
pardon his offence on condition that the
affair be thereby terminated as between
the two governments, and that the United
States should make no claim for damages
in his behalf. Ambassador Eustis has
been instructed to give notice to the French
government of the acceptance by the Unit
ed States of these conditions, and to ex-
change the notes necessary to carry out
the arrangement. 1t is said that Waller,
acting on the advice of his wife and broth
er-in-law, will insist on receiving compen-
sation from France.

THE VERMONT NEWS.
Vermont Leads New England In Corn,
Wheat and Barley.

The reports of the agricultural depart
ment show that Vermont leads the New
England states in the crops of corn, wheat,
barley, and stands second on the list for
oats, rye, potatoes, buck wheat and hay.
Maine leads on oats, potatoes, hay and
buckwheat, while Massachusetts, leads the
list on rye. The corn crop was the largest
in 10 years, while the average price is the
lowest in the same period. The wheat
crop was less than usual and the price
lower. There were no oats during the
last year and the price was ten cents lower
per bushel. The barley acreage exceeded
any previous year, while the buckwheat
crop was the smallest since 1870. The av-
erage farm price of corn, rye, oats, barley,
buckwheat and potatoes was lower than in
1895 and for the previous - years, and in
no year since 1880 was corn so low as in
1895. The potato crop of 1895 was unprece-
dented in magnitude and the price was also
way below the average

Ia: Shea EIeotrOcuted.

Bat Shea was electrocuted in the Clinton
prison at Dannemora, N. Y, Tuesday morn
ing. When the last rites of the Roman
Catholic church were administered Shea
received the sacrament, shook hands with
the priest and said, 81 am innocent, father,
innocent" He ate heartily and was then
led to the death chair. He left a letter
stating that the testimony was false, and
that he was not guilty of murder. 1t will
be remembered that at the March election
in Troy, n. Y, in 1894 the respectable peo-
pie made an effort to have the election laws
enforced. Shea, McGougb and others who
had led parties of repeaters to the polls for
years were warned not to try such proceed.

polls in the 18th ward general melee took
place in which Shea shot and killed Robert
Ross, and McGough wounded VIM. Ross.
McGough, who is now serving a sentence
of Is years in prison for his crime, made
confession recently, in which he claimed
that he skilled Robert Ross. 1t is supposed
that he was induced to make this comics
sion through the influence of politicians
who wished to save Shea. There was no
question about Shea's guilt, AS nearly 20
reputable witnesses saw him shoot Ross.

and begged the officer to accompany her

Identity Tie refused and took her TO the
Central police station. When he reached
the station Miss Dryer was thrown into a
cell. The cell was filed with rats and
other vermin and Miss Dryer fell into a
faint. Several hours later the police learned
that they had made mistake and took her
home. Since then she has been sinking
steadily, physicians say she will probably
die and even if she lives her mind will be
wrecked. Her employers will prosecute

THE GRAND JURY REPORT.

The Presentment of the Grand
Jury, made on last Wednesday after
noon. is given in full in another col
umn. The presentment does not
differ from other presentments save
where it calls attention to the viola
ton of the law by the dispensers at
Sumter and Mayesville. This single
point of difference makes the pre-
sentiment worthy of more than a
passing mention it is proof that the
Grand Jury is conscientious and
knowing its duty in the premises
has not hesitated in performing it.
The violation of the dispensary
law in the particular manner report.
ed by the Grand Jury is not confined
to this county, but has been com
renteG on and condemned in half
dozen or more counties The vio-
lation of the law has been made the
subject of more than one grand jury
presentment and at least one judge
has spoken Of it in his charge from
the bench. The violation of the law
should be stopped. even if the dis
pensers have TO be carried into court
to accomplish it.
The dispensary law is repugnant
to our ideas, and is to be tolerated
only by reason of necessity and on
account of the restriction thrown
around the sale Of liquor, especially
to minors and drunkards. When the
sworn officer appointed to execute
the provisions of the law deliberately
violates the law and brushes aside
the redeeming restrictions Of the
law, a law is lett that the people must
obey, for no other reason save neces-
sity This is not very satisfactory
condition of affairs, for a free people
to contemplate.
1t is evident that the dispcnsary, as
now administered, is first, last and
all the time machine for increasing
the revenue of the State. South

money, and many of her sworn
officials sell as much whiskey as POS.

Wisoo. colored, of Carter's Crossing town
ship was shot through the heart by John S.
Arrants. He lived nearly az hour, but never

rendered himself the next day to the sheriff
aud remained 10 Jail until his trial.
The case was brought TO trial Tuesday
afternoon, and when the time for adjourn

from him. Young refused to pay the money
uoless Arraots would give him regular tax
receipt for it, but finally agreed to pay it if
Arrants would get Sir. Frank McCutchen to
come there and write receipt for the money
Arrants went for Mr. McCutchen and
brought him to Wilson's house. When they
got there Wesley Young had left, and Ar
rants and Dick Wilson got into dispute and
cursed each other, Arrants accusing Wilson
OF having hid Young, or sent him away.
While they were dispu,;ng and cursng Will
soa said to Arrants, 'Do you draw your pistol
on me?' Arrants replied "No, when |
draw ny pistol, shoot" Almost immedi-
ately, Arrants shot, killing Wilson, as before
stated.
Mr. McCutchen's testimony and that Of the
other witnesses did not materially differ in
any of the particulars
MrArrants testified that when Wilson came
out of the house he had his hand in either hip
pocke, or side pocket, and just before he shot,
bej,bought Wilson drew pistolfrom his pock-
ct, but did not see it. He thought be saw some
thing in Wilson's hand, and thought be
