A desperate encounter occurred in the
guard room of the Massachusetts State
prison at Charlestown, Tuesday. A
brother of murderer, Herbert Willis,
incareerated there on a life sentence, was
allowed to visit him and took with
him two revolvers. When informed
that the time of his visit was up" the
two brothers who had been sitting to-
gether, sprung up, the visitor gave the
murderer one revolver and they both
began firing upon the officers and the
turnkey. The brave officers were too
many for them and they were overpower-
ed after being seriously wounded. The
turnkey was also seriously injured.
The Boston Transcript raises the point
that visitors to desperate prisoners in
the State prison ought to be searched
before they are admitted. The point
seems to US to be we'll taken.

A person suffering with boils should
eschew pastry, gravies and every kind
of meat excepting lean mutton. The
boils may be brought to head by using
q warm poultice of camomile flowers
or boiled white lily root, by fermenta-
ton with hot water, or by stimulating
plasters. Good Housekeeping.

There is speculation in regard to the
effect the death of the premier of Spain
will have upon the situation in Cuba.
His antipathy to the Cuban insurgents
was well known, but The views of his
successor, while they may De widely
different on other issues, are likely to be
substantially the same on the Cuban
question. There is little probability
that the friends Of Cuban insurgents had
anything to do with the murder. Could
Il be shown that they did have it would
hurt their cause, tut as it does not so
appear we believe the effect will be very
slight for or against Cuban independence.

Secretary Bliss of the interior depart
ment at Washington has issued a timely
circular warning people not to embark
for the Klondike country. He says in
formation has been received that 1000
persons and 1000 tons of baggage and
freight are now waiting at the White
Pass in Alaska for opportunity TO cross
the mountain to the Yukon river. To
reach Dawson city distance of 100
miles of difficult river navigation with
out adequate means of transportation
and dangerous and difficult mountain
pass must be traversed. He regards the
situation as very grave one and he is
right. No man with reasonable regard
for life and health will start for the Al
askan gold fields this season. Lots of
deluded mortals will lay their bones in
that frozen country between this and the
opening of spring of 1898.

Murder is poor remedy for any evil
or condition. The assassination Of Cano-
vas, the premier of Spain, by a desperate
anarchist, will render no aid TO the cause
il WAS intended to benefit, rather the
contrary. Anarchists have in recent
years struck down Russian monarchs,
the chosen executive of republican
France, and now add to the long list
one of the ablest of SPANS statesmen.
Il makes no difference TO these enemies
Of all government whether their victim
Is president of the most liberal repub-
lie the United States or a crowned
despot. They hate the idea of govern
ment ia any form. Law and order are
odious to them whether liberal or des-
potic. The character makes little differ
ence TO their gloomy minds and distorted
imaginations.

The chief clerk of the L. ;. mint AT
San Francisco, estimates $1,000, 900 AS
the amount of gold taken this year from
hlondyke mines. and dividing this among
the 5000 miners makes the average
about $500 to each man for the years
work. This average is not alluring
but gold seekers do not care for av-
erages. they all expect to secure thou
sands instead of hundreds.

There Is more Ca;arrh IN this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incmable. For many
years doctors pronounced il a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies. and
are constantly failing 10 cure with local
treatment, pronounced il inarable.
Silence. has proven catarrh to be a con-
sttutonal disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. !. Cheney &
Co Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to tea

The health of Senior Canovas had i'm
proved greatly of late. He had been
leading very quiet life, although he at
tended TO the business of state.
At the moment of the assassination he
was waiting in the gallery of the bath
Ing establishment for his wife, who was
to join him for lunch. Suddenly the as
sassin, who had the appearance OF an
ordinary visitor, approached and fired
at him point blank. one bullet passing
through the body and coming out be-
hind under the left shoulder, and the
other two lodging In the head. He fell
instantly and never recovered conscious
ness.
Several medical men and his wife were
unremtting in their attentions to the
sufferer. but his wounds, unhappily,
were mortal, and he died in two hours.
Extreme junction was administered amid
q scene of mingled sorrow and indigna-
ton. The assassin narrowly escaped
lynching at the hands of the walters
and attendants, who rushed forward.
Detectives and civil guards Immediately
secured him. He was very pale, trem-
bled violently, and evidently feared that
he would be killed on the spot.
He will be first arraigned before the
local magistrates at Vergara-
The queen regent and all the members
of the cabinet returned here today. Her
majesty has entrusted the presidency
of the council to General Azcarraga, the
minister of war. and the cortes will be
summoned to reassemble tomorrow.
The greatest excitement and indigna-
ton prevails among all classes. All the
members of the diplomatic corps have
expressed their sympathy with the gov
eminent. Many senator's, deputies and
generals. while expressing their grief
and Indignation, have offered to render
the government all the assistance in
their power.
II was at first rumored that the assas-
sin was one of the pardoned barcelona
anarchists. but this is not confirmed.
The murderer declares that he killed
Senior Canovas in accomplishment OF a
Just venge ance." and that the deed is
the outcome Of vast anarchist con-
spiracy.
He is believed TO have arrived at Santa
Agueda the same day as the premier,
and he was frequently seen lurking in
the passages of the bathing establish
ment in a suspicious manner.

The miners strikes in different parts
of the west, continue with varying
success in different places. Many mines
are being worked with reduced crews.
The number of miners out in West Vir-
ginia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, is very
large In many places the situation is
critical. The reduced output of mines
is being felt unfavorably in many manu-
featuring centers.
