made one of the best speeches of the cam
paign. He presented the issue ably and
eloquently and aroused a great degree of
enthusiasm among the voters. Mr.. Chinn
is a logical reasoner and a fine talker, and
the assistance he is rendering his party
should be appreciated and rewarded.

The woman's head was also cut
nearly in two and hogs had eaten all the
flesh from the face, neck and shoulders
of the body. Her husband was in Rich
mond during the day, but he was sus-
pscted and is now in Jail there, though
the evidence against him is purely cir

recently came with his family from Ohio.
Mr.. Ethan Allen has received n letter
from his son, Ethan, Jr., who is located
at Tacoma, Washington, in which he
mentions a trip he recently made to the
mountains in search of gold mines. He
located several and returned with many
specimens of rich ore which he will send
to an assay office. He thinks one of the
mines will prove a veritable bonanza.
He is associated with Mr.. Frank Lam
born in the printing business at Tacoma,
and we have just received from them a
handsomely printed calendar for 1897. 1t is
printed in three c%olors, highly embellish-

fine eight-day watch, that was perhaps
the most valuable every carried out OF
by an owner or a burglar. The
and chain was worth about S275.
The other two watches were worth about
FOO. The burglars also carried away with
them a suit and overcoat belonging to Mr..
M. Taubman, but they left these in the
rear OF Mr.. Fred Winkler's yard, and they
were afterwards recovered. After delibe-
rately going through the entire residence,
appropriating to themselves every
they desired. They went over to
E.. NJ. Taubman's house, but they did
not secure anything there, as it is sup
posed that they were scared away by Mr..
Bert Taubman, WHO awoke about 5:15
and went over to notify E.. NJ. of
burglary at his fathers. The burglars
we're evidently old hands at the business,
performed the function of going
the residence very deliberately.
4 reward of $50 has been offered for the
Irrest and conviction of the burglars. We
nope they will be arrested.
