Gold is being taken out of its hiding

or profitable business than man
uf;.cturing and selling patented
articles. For several years the man
ufacturing interests of the country
have been at u standstill. Whatever
the cause. it is a fact that most of them
will be reopened in the near future to
supply the demands of ordinary
business. Another fact, nearly every
profitable manufacturing industry is
engaged in making patented articles.
Now. before they start up and have
all their patterns and machinery made.
is the time for you to introduce that
idea of yours, and advance the par

belongs. There should be ousands
of novelties placed in the market dur

pleased to advise you as to its novelty

TRAGEDY AT LARRAREE.

Harry Mewhirtcr seriously Shot by Row
II, l.. benedict.
LARRABRE, Nov. 1o.--Harry Mewhir-
ter, druggist of Larrabec, is lying
at deaths door with bullet lodged
in his body just under the left nipple
and near the heart. Rev. E. L. Ben
edict fred the shot that will probably
end the young mans earthly career.
Recently Rev. Mr.. Benedict got out a
search warrant and had Mewhirter's
drug store searched for liquors. This
enraged the draggsst and yesterday
he followed the minister into the Lar
abee Review office. The minister ex-
tended his hand To Mewhirter with
peaceful intent. The cnraged drug
gist at the same moment dealt Bene-
diet a severe blow on the head with
his fist The Review man interfered
and the men parted for the time being.
Later, as Benedict was passing the
drug store on his way to the postofiice,
Mewhirter and a fellow named Burke
jumped upon him and n tnssel fol-
lowed The minister succeeded in
freeing himself and drawing revolver
shot Mewhirter, who fell to the
ground. He regained his feet how
ever, and walked to the doctors office.
The physician has but little hopes for
his recovery. Sheriff Wheeler was
telegraphed for at Cherokee and the
minister was taken into custody. The.
principals are both leading citizens OF
Cherokee county and the tragedy has
created widespread sensation.

edict, the Methodist minister at LARA
bee WHO shot Druggist II. D. Me1hir-
ter, has been admitted to bail OF Slo,-

injuries 4 telegram from Larrahee
says that Mewhirter' S condition is very
serious and death may result The
general impression is that Mewhirter
got fust what lie deserved.

VENEZUELAN VICTORY.
All Arrangements for Arbitration Have
Icen Made.

VI hCen MNues ttltN
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The king OF
Sweden and Norway, Oscar ii, has
been chosen by the treaty between
the United States and Great Britain as
the fifth official arbitrator of the Yen
ezueian boundary question. The other
arbitrators, four in number. are to be
designated, two by the lord chief
justice of England, and two by the
chief justice Of the United States.
This is the final and most important
feature Of the treaty for the complete
adjustment of the long pending
Venezuelan controversy. The treaty
was concluded in Washington ct the
British embassy, Sir Julian Pauncefote
representing her Britannia majesty
and Secretary olney the United States.
The main point of the treaty is that
King Oscar Lis re fifth or decisive
arbitrat tor. 1t was deemed best to
make this choice rather than to leave
it to the selection of the other four
arbitrator. The latter are assured OF
being men Of eminent judicial attain
ment, as their choice il left entirely to
the Judiciary of the respective coun-
tries. The essential feature of The
treaty is that fifty years actual pos
session is to constitute title. With
this limitation as to the settled dis
tricts, the entire sweep OF the
Venezuelan boundary is placed in the
hands of the court of arbitration.
The treaty covers only Venezuela, and
the question of general arbitration
between the United States and Great
Britain is left to future negotiations.
The court of arbitration is expected to
stat Stockholm. From the Venezuelan
standpoint, final agreement for any
kind OF. arbitration is a distinct
victory. Venezuela has asked for
arbitration for forty years. Great
Britain reply has always been that
while arbitration was desired, yet the
settled districts were regarded as
sovereign British soil not open to
arbitration. BY salisbury's statement
arbitration Will proceed on the
acceptance of the old common law
rule of prescription. The understand
ing is that the entire Venezuelan
boundary will be thrown open to
arbitration, it remaining for Great
Britain to show that certain portions
have been occupied by her subjects SO
long, peacefully, uninterrupted and
publicly as to make conclusive her
territorial presumption.

WORCESTER, Mass. Nov. l0.-Sena-
tor George Frisbie Hoar, in letter to
the Gazette, forecasts the complexion
of the next United States senate. In
the main he says: After March 4th
there viii be Lightweight senators and
two vacancies, from Delaware and
Kentucky. The Lightweight senators
will be divided as follows: Republicans
opposed to the free coinage of silver
and in favor of the rcpu blican tariff
policy, 49,; republicans whose opinions
are not yet known (the senator's from
the Dakotasl, 2; democrats opposed to
the free coinage of silver a. Rcpubli-
cans in favor Of free coinage of silver,
desiring tosupport generally the tinan-
cial policy of the party. and in favor
of protection, s; democratic and popu.
list silverites, Al. OF the latter it is
to be hoped that some who We're elect
ed as republicans viii act with their
associates in matters other than free
coinage. 1t is also to be hoped that
Mr.. Murphy, of New York and Mr..
Mitchell of Wisconsin may act in ac-
cordance with the sentiments of their
states, especially if their should be an
attempt to unite the two wings of the
democratic party. So ont of eighty
eight senators there are thirty-seven
who may be depended upon to oppose
the free coinage of silver, and there
are forty -one who can be depended
upon to support the general principles
OF the republican party in regard to
protection
