States officers. They secured $50 bottles of
various kinds of liquors and large quantity

WHILE Lillian and Clara Desaw of Wi
nooski were out walking with two cavalry
men from Fort Ethan Allen, last Wednes.
day evening, another cavalr man named
Mcdonald, an admirer of Lillian, jumped
from behind a fence and emptied his re-
volver apparently in an attempt to kill his
comrades in arms, but without injury to
them. He then reloaded his revolver and,
turning to Lillian, said: 81 have a mind to
shoot you." She dropped to the walk and a
bullet passed over her head. Mcdonald
then ran to the home of the Desaw girls,
where, he put on suit of citizens clothes
he had stored there, and, accompanied by a
brother of the girls, departed. Jealousy
was the cause of McDonalds actions. Off
GERS from the post have been in search of
Mcdonald but thus far without success.
w. II. CBEAMER of Bethel, one of the
boiling delegates at the recent national
democratic convention at Chicago, gave the
employees of the Bethel Shoe Company a
practical illustration of how free coinage of
silver would effect laboring men. He sent
last pay day. with pay envelope, to each
employe this notice: To Our Employees
We use in our payroll to-day Mexican sill
yer dollars, containing more silver than the
American silver dollar. We put them in as
sixty cents only, as that is all they will pass
for, not being exchangeable for gold dol
lars, as our silver dollar is. Should we
have free coinage of silver, as advocated to-
day by the opponents of our present gold
standard, our silver dollar will buy less
than this Mexican dollar, as it contains less
silver and could not then be exchanged for
a gold dollar, yet we could make you take
it for dollar just the same by law. The
bank will take them off your hands at this
price If you cannot pass them, though you
probably can use them anywhere in town,
as sixty cents"
If you have ever seen little child in the
agony of summer complaint, you can re-
alize the danger of the trouble and appre-
cate the value of instantaneous relief al
ways afforded by DeWitt's Collie and
Cholera Cure. For dysentery and diarrhpa
it is reliable remedy. We could not af
ford to recommend this as cure unless i
were a cure. W. E. Terrill & Co., Mont
