Colonel and Mrs. OsgoOd Entertain.

About 80 of the attendants of the Law
renee Mills Sunday school met at Col. E.
G. Osgood's Wednesday afternoon and
evening. Refreshments were served in
the house, although the original intention
was that the affair should be lawn party.
The Sunday school was started about
four years ago by Mr.. and Mrs. Osgood,
who were the prime movers for about two
years, at the end of which time Miss Emily
Adams became Mr.. Osgood's assistant and
about year ago Miss Nellie Dean became
connected with the work. Since the for
nation the average attendance has been
about 20, with 80 the highest number
enrolled. The teachers ride up from Bel
lows Falls every Sunday afternoon and the
sessions are continued for about an hour.
While at Mr.. Osgood's the class and teach
ers had a group picture taken, after which
the time was spent in social way.

enterprise is John E. Brosnahan, citizen
whose hustling qualities are admired by

Commemorative Postage Stamps.

Are we to have no issue of special
postage stamps to celebrate our Span
ish war? 1t is certainly bigger thing
than the Omaha Fair, and is costing
very much more money, for which we
shall have much less to show To be
sure, we may have the Philippines to
show for our disbursements, and may
be Porto Rico, but very many citi-
zens look gloomily at the Philippines,
and regard them as a good deal worse
than nothing; and when we take Por-
to Rico all Europe will declare our
war was war of conquest, and not of
humanity. Let's have the stamps, and
not the Philippines. The stamps will
cost less, be far less troublesome, and
it will be easier to distribute them so
that each citizen may have at least one

Down in a little Kansas town,

VALUE OF FRESH AIR.
Il Cannot BE Too Highly Appreciated
in Order to Avoid Disease.

It Cannot BE Too Highly Appreciated
in Order to Avoid Disease.
The admitted advantage of an out
door life in many morbid conditions,
and notably in consumption, seems to
point to the conclusion that there is
something definitely injurious in the
indoor life which is now the common
mode of existence among civilized peo-
pie. 1t is a striking and startling
thing that the mere removal of pa
tient into the open air should lower his
fever, should remove his night sweats,
and take away his hectic, and it is diff
cult to avoid the conclusion that If
these symptoms are removed by the
purity of the air outside they must
have been largely caused by the impur-
ity of the air within the house. Nor
have we any right to assume that 1T is
the consumptive only who suffers.
Doubtless the heal by str, lie agai lst
and overcome evil influences before
which those who are tuberculous, sue
cumb, but that is not to say that in the
struggle we do not suffer, and indeed,
the facts recently brought forward are
sufficient to show that the stuffy life

health even of the healthiest. We
make our windows fit, we pad our
doors, we shiver at draught, we sur
round ourselves with woollen curtains,
dusty carpets, and fluffy luxurious up
holstery; we breathe the same air
over and over again, and then we
wonder that we are not strong and Wig
orous. The fact is we are daily using
up the exuberant vitality with which
nature has provided us in struggling
against artificial conditions. How pow
erful for evil, is shown by the fact that
their mere removal gives back to the
consumptive that vitality which en-
ables him to overcome the seeds of dis
ease within him. Fresh air is not a
thing to be taken in little doses once a
day, but thing to live on.-London
Hospital.

Tighter DAYS for Ireland.

Instantaneous may perhaps be par
doned for disliking the idea of an An
glo-American alliance. They have
cherished too long the wish of seeing
England wiped off the face of the
earth. But they can hardy expect
their quarrel to stand in the way OF
great national and international in
terests, now and forever, as some Chi
sage Irishmen in mass meeting as
sembled seem to think should be the
case. We heard it stated recently by a
stout Irish-American agitator that Ire
land was getting more in some respects
from the present Tory government of
Great Britain than could have been ex-
pected from the Gladstone home rule
party. 1t has been made easier for an
Irishman to acquire land in Ireland
today, he said, than it is in the United
States.

A Rare Spectacle.

Vesuvlus presented rare sight re-
Gently, real flames issuing from the
summit. Part of the south wall of the
crater fell in, blocking up the vents
from which the gases had escaped A
few days later this mass having becom =
red hot, squirt of flames 200 feet high
was sent out, accompanied by a ire
mendous roar. The column of fire
was yellow, with flashes of red, violet
and intense blue. Prof Matteucei, who
saw it, says that it was the only Jet of
incandescent gas ever observed on We
suvius, the light which people usually
mistake for flames being merely the
reflection of the lava below on the
smoke that rises from the crater.-New

COVENTRY, VI, Aug. 8, 1898.
Editor of the TINES:
Being a native Vermonter, transplanted
to Maryland soil, and now, whilst on one
of my annual pilgrimages to the Gather
laud.n a copy OF the TINES of July 9th,
ult., containing the article Curious Old
Books" is shown me by friend. In its
reference to the Asa Houghton Almanac Ga
copy Of which would be glad to possess if
| knew where to obtain it mention is made
of the "Westminster Farmer" who stayed
at home one Sunday to shoot the ''cunnlhg
bear" that took advantage of the good
mans attendance at church to commit
depredations upon his cornield during his
absence.
This story is well authenticated nara
tive of an actual event. The hero Off such
he may be styled) was an early settler, be-
ing none other than Capt. Azariah Wright,
whose company of militia held possession
of and defended the courthouse at West
Minister against the British soldiers that
sought to install the provincial court there
against the will of the people. This incl
dent known as the s.Court House Affray"
resulted in the death of Nathaniel French
whose body lies buried in Westminster
churcbyard. 1t was the first blood shed in
the revolutionary war.
While it may not be matter OF public
interest l desire TO say that the identical
musket which killed the bear on that men,
orable Sunday morning and which intimi
dated or persuaded the Jealous parson to
an abandonment of the prosecution against
Capt. Wright for Sabbath-breaking, or
what remains of that musket is now in my
posse ssion and if you will pardon the pride
/ exhibit will say that / intend to keep it
as long as / live. This arm, transmitted
from one generation of Azariah Wright's to
another by a sort of nuncupative will, came
down from family to family in a splendid
state of preservation. Its only change
having been an alteration from the flint
lock to a percussion cap lock, in which
state it did duty for years as fowling
piece, the writ In his boyhood having
brought down with il partridges, squirrels
and much other small game.

famed. The gallant wheelman dragged
her to the curbing and as soon as she come
to sufficiently to sit up, left her to find her

Nearly Il Serious Accident.

"Wednesday morning of this week,
Col. Hiram Hayes and Geo. b. Hudnall
started for drive, and out near the
Normal school building the horse, which
was very restless from the flies, became
unmanageable and both gentlemen sud-
denly found themselves on the ground
the horse making good his escape to-
ward the West end. Fortunately 4. X
Smith happened along about this time
and assisted the gentlemen into his car
riage and took them over to DR.. Connor's
office where, upon examination, 1t was
found that no bones were broken but
that both gentlemen were seriously
bruised and badly shaken up. Mr..
Hudnall had a slight cut on the fore
head, and both he and Col. HAYES will
feel trihe stiff, no doubt, for few
days. We are glad to announce that
what might have proven very serious
accident terminated with such slight

TIE LATEST,

Our article on the Congressional sit
nation as 1t appears in another column,
was written after it had been given out
that Mr.. Jenkins was out of the race.
But another report has been published,
this time in the form of a letter from
Mr.. jenkins, which clearly indicates his
Willingness to again represent the 10th
district, if he receives the nomination
without fight. We think we under
stand how Mr.. jenkins feels, he has
worked hard and faithfully for his con-
sttuents, and when he returned home
and found in nearly every county from
one to four would be congressman, he
naturally was hurt, and being i'll and
worn out he felt like giving up, rather
than enter for hard fight. But the
Chippewa Falls people propose to make
the fight for him, facing this proposi-
ton Douglas county Republicans will
without doubt endorse Mr.. Jenkins.
