Oblieing a schooima'am.

A schoolma am had arrived at the
frontier town to begin her duties, and
the dozen men who saw her get out Of
the stage and enter the hotel agreed
that she was young and good looking;
also that she was probably nervous,
and that the boys hadn't ought to do
any shooting ON that first night and
keep her awake. The girl was at supper
when Bill Green entered the room, cap
in hand, introduced himself, and added:
''Thar's critter in town named Joe
Goss, and I've said I'd shoot him on
sight Bein as it might disturb ye,
however, I'll put the shoot.,1 off fur a
day or two"
The schoolma am thanked him with
all her heart, and he withdrew, but she
had only retired to the sitting room
when Bill reappeared to say:
''Thar's duffer in town who says he
kin make me eat dirt. Hev ye any OBJ
jeckshuns to my standin up to him?"
"Would there be a quarrelr" she
asked.
''Sartinly, ma'am. "
"And shooting?"
''Of course. ?"
"Then wish you wouldn't.
"All right, ma'am, all right. Fur
yer sake I'll let him bluff me tonight
and pop him tomorrer "
She expressed her deep sense Of obli.

later he re-entered to say:

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

When a girl says she's glad she isn't

bowlegged or something
st. Peter couldn't have been married.
If he had been, he wouldn't have the
heart to keep any married man out Of
heaven.
1t always makes q man mad to have
his wife start to read over lot of old
fool letters he wrote her before they
were married.
To good many people home means
a place where the husband can sit and
smoke in his shirt sleeves and where the
wife can go around with no corset ON.
The reason why women are always
SO interested in a bride is because the
married ones are wondering whether
she knows as much as they do, and the
unmarried ones are wondering whether
they know as much as she does. New

Two rival contractors, Casey and
Murphy, were putting up rows of houses
on different sides Of down town
street. One afternoon Murphy discover
ed that he was running short Of bricks
and that the men would have to knock
off work for the rest of the day unless
fresh supply could be obtained. Now,
Casey, on the other side Of the street,
was we'll supplied with bricks. and his
men were working like beavers. So
Murphy went over to Casey and said:
dan, Olive run out O. bricks. Lind me
the loan av about foive hun 'erd, an Oil
give thin back to ye tomorrer. But
Casey was in bad humor, and he
wouldn't lend a single brick. "Oi'll git
aven wild ye fur that, Dan Casey"
said Murphy. and he went back to his
men.
'Min," said he, "we're short o.
bricks Now, Casey's min are wurkin

bricks we'll have to knock off. So do
ye all sthay here while Oh go up above

"All roight, boss" said the men. So
Murphy went up into the unfinished
house and yelled:
"Are ye all down there, MINI"
"Yis." replied the men.
"Are ye all wurkinr''
"Yis.
"Do ye all belong to the A. P. A. ?"

The Minstrel's Mistake.
! a merry troubadour,

He was a merry troubadour,
And his heart was filled with love
For a maiden fair beyond compare,
Who dwelt six blocks above.
The night was dark. the winds were cold.
But the minstrel's heart was gay
As he paused before that silent door
And trilled his happy lay.
The music of his tuneful lutte
Rose on the frigid air.
he praised with sighs his darling's eyes
And TIE color Of her hair.
He sang In mellow monotone
OF her form with grace bediRht
And prayed that she with ecstasy
Would dream Of him that night.
Then suddenly the moon Ger all
A swift effulgence sent,
And very plain on the window pane

Throat


Is there a tickling in the
throats Do you cough a great
DEAL especially when lying
DOWN. Are you hoarse at
timess Does nearly every cold
you take settle in your throats
These "throat coughs" are
very deceptive. Don't neglect
them. Troehcs, or cough
syrups won't touch the spot.
You must take remedies that
will enrich the blood, tone up
the nerves; and heal the in
famed membranes.
SCOTT'S EMULSION Of
Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos-
phites contains such remedies.
It has wonderful nourishing
and healing power. The cause
of the cough is removed; the
whole system is given new Life
and vigor; and the danger
from threatening lune trouble
Is swept away.

His Trial for Alleged Con-
tempt is Begun.
Little Interest Manifested in
the Outcome.
General Belief That the Defendant
Will Be Discharged.
General Belief That the Defendant
Will Be Discharged.
Ills Counsel Indifferent as TO the Sc
lection of Members Of Jury.

Washington, May 2S-The trial of Mr..
Company followed that of President Have
meyer, before Judge Bradley in criminal
court No. /, today. Judge Bradley's deci-
sion yesterday, which threw the case
against Mr.. Havemeyer out of court,
robbed the trial of much of it's interest,
despite the assertion of District Attorney
Davis that the cases were not analogous
and that the contention set up by the
defense i'm the Havemeyer case, upon
which the judge ordered verdict of
acquittal returned, would not hold in the
Searles case. The general belief was that
the main question as to pertinency would
be- raised by the defense in the case and
that the judge would bc required 20 rule
on that question before the defense opened
The Indictment found against Mr. Searles
was very similar to the one found against
Mr.. Hayemeyer except that the questions
asked of Mr.. Searles were somewhat differ
ent. The same lawyers who appeared for
Mr.. Hayemeyer have charge Of Mr.. Searle's
defense. Mr.. Havemeyer sat by Mr..
Senries' side in the rear of the table occu-
pied by his counsel. Before the trial be-
gan District Attorney DaTis,-wAe-
Quoted the case fer the government
moved that il the trial was not concluded
today, although he said he saw no reason
why it should be, that it be adjourned
until Tuesday. He gave as "a reason i'm
portant engagements of the counsel for
the defense. To this judge Bradley agreed.
None OF the first twelve talesmen was
challenged, but one was excused.
The indifference OF the defendants
counsel TO the composition Of jury seemed
TO indicate their confidence that the case
eventually would be taken out of the
hands of the jury as was that OF MIR.
Havemeyer.
At IL 40 the government rested its case
against John T.. Searles, secretary of the
American Sugar Refining Company ana
the defense moved that the jury be il
structed TO bring in n verdict of acquittal
en- three grounds. MIR johnson argued on
his motion for some time and then tho
court took recess until / o'clock.
1t is thought Judge Bradley kwill not
issue his decision this afternoon. The
opinion is unanimous about the court
that Judge Bradley will sustain the mo
tion, take the case from the jury and or
der an acquittal.

Latter, He Says, Took Pro-

Assignee Secures Writ of Arrest to
Recover the Money.
II Was on His Second Visit That O'Neill
Was refused Admittance.

There iseapparently i'll feeling among
the members of the st. Onge a. O'Neill
Company, which made an assignment
Wednesday evening to John NJ. Fournier
On the day following the assignment
the morning paper stated that Mr.. O'Seili
had been denied admission to the store
and intinated that the assignment had
been made without his knowledge. 1t
was also stated that the liabilities of the
concern were $40, OO0 and that.the stock in
the store, the only assets, were somewhat
short of that.
Today Mr.. St Onge puts the case
differently. In the first place he takes
exception To the statement relative to the
debts and assets of his company, and
claims that they are not authentic and
were made without any authority.
Mr.. St. Onge also explains why his
partner was not admitted TO the store.
MIR. O'Neill he said was the first member
OF tho concern to be informed of the
assignment. He was in the store at tho
time and went out Immediately after re-
ceiving tho information, presumably to
secure the services of an ATTORNEY
Shortly after that Mr.. st. Onge says
that Mr.. O'Neill returned and going to the
cash desh tooE.-the proceeds from the
days sales, put them in his pocket and
walked out.
The cash taken Is said to have amounted
to about $500 and according to the state
ment by Mr.. St Onge writ of arrest
to recover that amount has been issued by
Bassett and Mitchell, attorneys for the
ass Enee
The second time that Mr.. O'Neill re-
turned to the store on Wednesday night
MIR. st. Onge admits that be was denied
admission. His explanation of this Is that
Mr.. q Neill had threatened MIR. Deslaurier,
the treasurer of the company, and as he
always carries out his threats and was in
the habit OF keeping revolver in his
pocket IL was not thought advisable 10
admit him.
According to Mr. st. Onge the COM
pany has only been in business n little
over year and he makes the following
statement: The net profits for the first
six months of 1896 were Sl945. 66; for the
second six months there was loss OF
5000 S5.
.. 1t was learned this afternoon that the
money Mr.. O'Neill took from the drawer
on the day of the assignment was turned
over to his attornev, u. j. Mccarthy. AS
soon as formal notice of the assignment
was served Mr. Mccarthy proceeded to
the Office of Bassett q Mitchell, attor-
neys for the assignee to whom he turned
the money over
IA. Markowitz, q cape manufacturer, of
New York secured n writ of replevin to
secure some $500 or S400 worth of capes
sold the assigned corporation.
