On the other hand. McCabe swore that he
was walking for exercise during the time
when the act was supposed to have been
committed. There was little confederation
on either side, and the jury believed the
story of the accused, and acquitted him.
The jury in the case of The State against

YEARS LUMBER TRADE.
LIT Shows Failing OF In All
Branches.

The new years day" of the lumber
trade has come and gone and the annual
roundup of the stocks hand has been
made by the Mississippi Valley Lumberman.
The figures show a heavy decrease from a
year ago and also that the local consumption
has been much smaller during 1886 than dur
ing 1895. The Lumberman comments as fol-
lows:
The stocks in the hands of the Minneapolis
wholesalers are about 60, eco feet less
than they were year ago. This would in
dicate, were all other things equal that the
trade of the past year had been better than
usual, but other things have not been
equal. nothing of the kind is true. The pro-
duction of lumber during the year has been
nearly 1SO,O0o,000 feet less than last season.
so it is plainly evident that the business Of
the year has been smaller than that of last
year. OF this decrease in business, the ship
ping trade has stood a decrease Of about
SS,o00,O00 feet, since the beginning of the
year while the local consumption has fallen
off about S4,C0O,000 feet.

NEW BED FOR A RIVER.

There is immediate danger of a repe-
 tition of the heartrending Mansfield
 mine disaster in which twenty-seven
 men lost their lives at the Hemlock mine. The mine extends under the Hem
 lock River with a shaft on either side.
 Water from the river is working
 through the sandstone into the mine,
 and the danger will have to be re-
 medied at once or the valuable property
 abandoned. It is now proposed not to
 attempt to divert the channel of the
 river as was done at Mansfield mine
 recently but to lift the Hemlock River
 from its native bed and let it run
 through an immense wooden siuiceWay.
 This sluice will extend over the ground under which mine tunnel runs, and will thus relieve the river-bed of it's water and the mine of any danger from
 the river. A dam will be built some dis
 tanee up the river, and this will enable
 the work to go on this winter and also chain the water so that it can be run
 into it's artificial channel next spring.
 The sluiceway will be 1,500 feet long, and will rest on two immense arches whose foundations will be in the bed of the river. The arches will be wide apart at the base, and will not threaten the
 mine tunnels in the least. After the sluice is built the dam will be opened, 1 end the water will run into the new | elevated bed. Work in the mine tunnels
 under the river will continue, and it is
 expected that the miners will gradually pick their way towards the old river bed will cave in and a rich find of ore | is then xpected.-Detroit Free Press.

A REFORM NEEDED IN SUNDAY
 SCHOOL BOOKS.


 There is no reason why the literature of the Sunday school, since it re presesents an important element in morden bookmalSing, should be uniformly and consistently bad. There is no reason why all the children who figure in it's pages should be such inn possible little prigs; or why all parents should be either incredibly and worldly minded, or so inflexibly serious that they never open their lips without preaching There is no reason why people, because they they are virtuous or repentant, should converse in stilted and unnatural language. A contrite in one of those edifying stories confesses, poetically. My sins are more numerous than the hair of my head or the sands of the sea-shore"- was probably true, but not precisely the way in which the Bill Sykeses of real life are won't to acknowledge the fact. In another tale, an English one this time, little girl named Helen rashly asks her father for some trifling information. He gives it with the usual grandiloquence, and then adds, by the way Recommendation: Many children are so foolish as to be ashamed to let those they converse with discover that they do not com- prehend everything that is said to them, by which means they often imbibe erroneous ideas, and perhaps remain in ignorance on many essential sub iects, when by questioning their friends they might easily have obtained correct and useful Knowledge" If Helen ever ventured on another query after that, she deserved her fate-Agnes Repplier in Scribner's
