Including the two sighting" shots
allowed each contestant at each dis
| tance. the score was Youngs, "a: Rob-
ling. 80: Stokes 81; Williams, So, and
Stout, 81.
According to the scores made in the
Crack Shot matches will be- selected
the team and reserve man to go to Mt.
Gretna next week. Youngs, Stout,
Quarter Master Watkins and Sergeant
Henry Cullen. of Company G. will sure
ly constitute the team and either Ser
geant Williams, of Company A, or Pri-
vate Williams will be the reserve man.
Considering the Mt. Gretna scores of
past years and the scores made on the
Dickson range in the local matches this
year. the Thrteenth's marksnen seem
destined to win individually and col
lectively this year at Mt. Gretna the
>laurels that have fallen to them in the
past.
Youngs holds the Individual cham
pionship while the team has the regi-
mental and McClelland championships.
The only other Mt. Gretna event, ex-
cepting the match for inspectors of rife
practice is the brigade match, and If
the other regimental teams of the Third
brigade had done nearly as well as the
Thirteenth the brigade championship
would also be partly due to the Scranton
teams shooting.
The te I'm goes to Mt. Gretna on Mon
day and will return home on Saturday.
Lieutenant II. b. Cox. the Thirteenth $
inspector of rifle practice, will compete
in the Inspectors match.

The child was wrapped In shawl
and taken to the central police station,
whence 1t was removed by Mrs. Dug
gan to st. Joseph's Founding Home.
DIR. O'Malley was summoned. every
thing was done to relieve the suffering
innocent.
In Doctor OMalley's opinion the child
is not less than four and not more than
eight days old and was born near where
ii was found, without attendance. 1t
had never received any nouishment.
1t is a male child and of good size.
The presumption is that the mother
strangled the child and believing it
dead hid the body under the stump
where it was found. Yesterday It might
have occurred to her that she should
have covered up the opening to the hole
underneath the stump in order that her
crime would never come to light and
going to the spot placed the stone
where it was found when the berry
pickers returned with the officer. 1t
may be that the child made no outcry
during the few moments that she spent
there and she consequently would not
know but that 1t was dead as she all
along supposed.
The fact that the past few nights
bave been extremely cold adds to the
wonder of the child's surviving.

Those who think women cannot keep
secret have not become acquainted
with Aberdeen ladies'. 1t has been prov
en- by indisputable evidence that they can
do it, and do it well.
One new evidence of this fact was fur
nished last evening, when large house
full OF friends came rushing into the front
door of Mr.. +. X. Van Tassels residence
without having given the faintest warn
ing Of their coming. Each hous ehold car
ried huge lunch-basket which, at the
proper time, was made to disgorge its
contents. After very pleasant evening
spent in music, games, story telling and
settling the Venezuelan question, they
took their departure at very seasonable
hour for surprise party.
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Tassel thoroughly ap-
preciate the kind testimonials of their
Aberdeen friends, and do not feel in any
great haste to leave them for new ones.

More Expensive FOolishness.A

The case of the state VS.. Ole YAM
men, John Kendall and w. II. Ander-
son, for resisting an officer, was called in
Justice Andrews court Monday afternoon.
Considerable time was spent in arguing
IL motion to quash the information, but
which was overruled. The balance Of
the afternoon was spent in empaneling a
jury, which was finally secured in the
persons OF Capt. :. G. Mitchell, John
Farquhar, II. II. Evans, A. J. Anderson.
Edward Renie and G. W. Coons. Mon
day evening and Tuesday forenoon were
spent in hearing testimony and arguing
the case. Quite number Of witnesses
were summoned and several examined.
The substance of the testimony was that
about - o'clock Saturday night, Deem
Der 2lst, Chas. Eversham undertook to
levy upon about $50 in money and the
table and tools used in a crap game, then
being in Kendall's saloon, to satisfy an
execution against the defendant, Ander-
son, and who had charge OF the game for
the proprietors Of the saloon.
1t appears that Eversllam had been in
the saloon several times during the even
ing but did not undertake to make the
levy until time when everyone had for
q moment left the table, with the money
lying upon it. Eversham claimed that
Anderson rushed in and struck him, and
Anderson's testimony was to the effect
that he put one arm around Eversham's
neck and held the wrist of the hand con-
tanning the money with his other hand
until Eversham laid the money down.
There was no evidence against Vammen
or Kendall, and the prosecuting attorney
recommended their acquittal.
The jury went out about noon and in a
short time returned with a verdict Of
acquittal for Anderson also, together with
a recommendation that, the jury finds
from the evidence that the constable,
Chas. Eversham, has acted with great
indiscretion. and that such steps should
be taken by the court or the citizens as
would result ia his removal, that he may
not again disgrace the community.
This is another one of those senseless
cases for which the county and state have
to pay dearly. 1t was commonly under
stood that Anderson was not the owner
OF the money or table, but that he was
simply working on commission, and
the whole affair was piece OF sharp
practice to get hold OF some money
which it was thought no one would lay
claim to, and as a consequence the state
and county will have to put up another
5000 or $500. The appointment OF Ever
sham, as constable, in the first place was
the rankest one ever made in the county,
comparing very favorably, however, with
many other official acts of Abcrdcen's
county commissioner, William Anstie,
and the recommendation of the jury
simply voices the sentiment OF the people

n bright and happy one.
The truest thing about disease is that
most of it is needless. Ninc.tcnths Of it
can be subdued by very simple remedies.
Even that most dreadful malady, o n
sumption, can be cured in 9S cases out
OF a hundred, il it be treated in its early
stages with Dr.. Picrce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Consumption is a disease caused by
impurity OF the blood, and the FIRST thing
to be done in Its treatment is 10 make
the blood pure, rich aud wholesome.
That is half the battle. The other half
is the i~mprcgnation OF the blood with
cleansing. healing, invigonting medi-
cines. The Golden Medical Discov-
cry" docs both. It first puts the whole
digestive system into perfect order, rids
it OF all impurities and from the vantage
ground so gained, reaches out to every
fiber OF the body and restores all to
perfect yigor. It cures manly diseases,
simply because many diseases spring
from a set OF common causes. The same
disorder may lead to different symptoms
in different people. What might be only
a little indigestion in ono person, may
combine with n slight cold in another
and result In consumption. A treatmen,
that toues up the whole system is always
the safest. A medicine that is good for
the general health is pretty sure to cure
ordinary diseases. Twenty.one cents in
