Della M. Gourley has brought suit for
divorce from her husband, William e.
Gourley. Mr.. Gourley is said to be out of
the state. The notice to him by publica-
ton appears in the Bradford Opinion.
The causes alleged are intoierabe severity
and refusal to support. The case will be
heard at the June term of court.
There seems to be a wide difference of
opin ion as to the efficiency of the three
wells dug on Weston fiat last fall for the
purpose OF draining that moist area when
high water should come. The residents
of the fiat say that the wells are OF practi-
cally no value, while the village trustees
aud others aver that they have done much
toward keeping the water down this
spring. 1t seems to make a difference
what point of view one occupies whether
as resident OF the fiat, anxious for the
construction of the much mooted sewer,
or as taxpayer who would not be bene-
fitted by such diversion OF public funds
what judgment one arrives at as to the
wells. They do appear to be of some
service, but how much we are unprepared
to state. The locality is so sunken that
it would be difficult, we fear, to so drain
it as to keep it free from water, without
mourning very great expense.
Saturday evening the members OF RAN

suggested that the drama be publicly pre-

that the order will soon give public en-
tertainment.

Senior Exercise.


The friends OF the members OF the sem
Tor class of the High school at
tended in large numbers the exercise
given by that class at the High school
room Friday evening.
The program consisted OF orations and
essays designed to demonstrate the ability
OF the participants in composing and de-
| live. ing, and also to serve in some meas
ure as preliminary practice for the COM
mencement exercises. II was incumbent
upon every member OF the class to take
part.
Miss Carrie l.. Haufier provided music
for the evening, singing four sweet songs,
"Only Once More, ""Cnangeless, ""I Love,
and the World Is MIne," and "a Dream"
Miss Bessie Woodward acted as accom-
PIANIST. In his Grafton, "rhe Anglo.
American Arbitration Treaty." F. W.
Burke voiced the general sentiment favor
ing its prompt ratification, believing il to
be the greatest mark of progress OF the
century. John Byrd described the various
characteristics OF "rhe East and West"
showing a pardonable preference for the
former. "Triumphs OF American Indus
try" claimed the attention of Chester
Hood, who demonstrated the Importance
of recent inventions. The Arctic explora-
tions OF ''Dr. Nansen" were described by
Bradford Mcintyre. Fred Bass outlined
the events leading up to the present
of "CraZes," II. II. Hayward placed various
movements that have temporarily swayed
the people. Henry Lewis lauded patriot
ism" as an essential quality. The Cuban
struggle and the expressions that in
duced it were sketched by Erwin Whit
comb in his Grafton entitled 1.-THE Gem
OF the Antilles" Miss Harriet Joiner
easily carried off the honors OF the even
ing by her essay on "Epic Poetry"
which was well framed and embellished
by just enough quotations to properly
illustrate.
The class of '97 is peculiarly constituted,
umbering ten boys and only one girl.
The reverse would be more in accordance
with precedent, as the girls ordinarily
outnumb Der the boys.

IN The SENATE.
Lengthy Speeches Check Progress on
the Tariff Bill.

Lengthy Speeches Check Progress on
the Tariff Bill.
Washington, June 5.-The senate
had period of speechmaking Friday,
and as a result little progress was made
on the tariff bill. The advance covered
about two pages, or seven paragraphs,
and brought the senate up to the wood
schedule, the first item of which was
considered but not completed. Senator
Mantle (Mont.) spoke for two hours on
the wool schedule, urging increased
rates for the wool grower, and Senator
Butler IN. CO. made plea in behalf of
the income tax.
Washington, June s. = The senate
committee on finance Friday decided to
recommend several minor changes in
the wood schedule as result of Thurs
day nights hearings. The most i'm
portant of these were the following:
Increasing the rate on hewn timber and
round timber used for spars paragraph
foot: withdrawing the amendment strik-
Ing out the house duty on kindling
wood: increasing the rate on laths from
10 to 20 cents per 1000 pieces: restoring the
house rate of 80 cents per 1000 on shingles,
which the committee reduced to % cents;
restoring the specific house rate on tooth
picks and striking out the ad valorem
rate. Withdrawing from the amendment
to paragraph 1874 paving posts, etc },
which struck out the words: "Or other
woods" the effect being to leave the
house rate of 20 per cent. ad valorem in
effect. No change was made In the rate
of two dollars per thousand feet on sawed
lumber

DELAY FOR DURRANT
The Famous Murderer Will Not
Hang Next Friday.
A NEW LEASE OF LIFE is SECURED.
His Attorneys Given Permission to
Appeal to the Supreme Court, the
Eject of Which Is to Postpone
Execution for Some Time.

San Francisco, June s. = Theodore
Durrant will not be hanged on next
Friday. His attorneys have gained for
him new lease of life for four months
at least, and the condemned man made
merry in his cell when he heard the
cheerful news. He had become re-
signed to his fate, and his fearful eyes
had turned to the Bible as his only
solace when information was received
at the prison that Judge Gilbert, of the
United States circuit court, had grant
ed his attorneys permission TO appeal
to the United States supreme court
from his order made on Wednesday
denying the application for a writ of
habeas corpus.
The appeal was perfected Friday,
when Theodore Durrant's father filed
bond in $500 to cover the costs of the
appeal. Even if the appeal should be
dismissed early in the term, the 30
days allowed by the state law between
the time when the day for execution is
fixed and the day of execution would
carry the matter pretty well toward the
end of the year. The possibilities for
further delay are so numerous that
practically he has an insurable lease of
life into the new year.
No formal stay of execution, how
ever, has been given. Acknowledgement
Fitzgerald has not yet advised Warden
Hale not to proceed with the execution
on June II, but he has given such adj
vice to Warden Aull, of Folsom, in the
Worden case, and the Durrant case
stands on precisely the same footing.
Durrant's attorneys regard their imme-
date labor in his behalf as at an end,
and are preparing for their next effort,
which will be before the United States
supreme court.
Late Friday afternoon Warden Hale,
of San Quentin, was served with a cita-
ton issued by Circuit Judge Morrow
at the instance of Durrant's attorneys
ordering him to appear before the SUI
preme court of the United States at
Washington on August 3, this date be-
ing selected in order to properly bring
the case upon the calendar. The effect
of the citation is to stay the execution
of Durrant without regard to the opin-
ion of the state attorney general.
The latter official admits the service of
a similar document upon Warden Aull
at Folsom, the date set, however, being
October 4. Warden Aull is also cited
to appear in the circuit court of appeals
on June rs.

two strong and determined men kicked
It down in short order and gained adj
mission to the Jail, the crowd follow
ing. There were plenty Of sledge ham
mers, chisels and other tools in the
crowd and the men went to work.
Part Of the crowd had previously

keys, which had been hid away and
which proved to be the keys to the Jail.
Dragged at the End of Rope.
The crowd got into the Jail in short
order. They didn't wait to unlock the
door to Mitchell's cell, but burst the
lock with sledge hammer and the
door soon flew open. Mitchell was
standing in his cell and offered no re-
slstance and did not utter word.
Someone in the crowd had rope and
1t was placed over the brute's neck, and
the crowd made for the door, Mitchell
following at the end.

the rope slipped off his neck. The crowd
surrounded him, jumped on him like a
thousand hungry dogs after one bone.
Fierce Fury of the Mob.
The brute WAS kicked, beaten and

The rope was quickly slipped over his
head again and rush was made for
