BURGERS ii MANCHESTER.

Burglars IN Manchester.
Last Sunday morning about two
o'clock burglars entered II : G. Smiths
drug store and a. D. Works meat
market and relieved the money drawers
drawers of their contents, amounting
to total of about twelve dollars-three
dollars at the former place and nine at
the latter. The thieves entered the
buildings from the rear and forced en-
frances into each in about the same
manner. A hole was bored through the
door near the lock and an iron rod used
in forcing the door open. The noise
awoke Otto Hagelberg, who was sleep
ing IN the office of DIR. Lawrence on the
sesond floor of the Works building,
but he failed to secure help before they
had made good their escape. There
were at least two burglars engaged In
the business because they were heard
talking. 1t is thought to be the work
of home talent, and it is to be hoped
that whoever they are theywill be
caught and punished.

Death of Mrs. n. E. Emerson.

Quite number OF the residents OF
this county had the pleasure of form
ing the acquaintance of Mrs. H. E.
Emerson, a daughter-in-law of Frank
lin Emerson of this city, during her
visit here some two years ago, and will
be panied to learn that she has been
called to the Great Beyond.
The following is from the Chronicle,
published at Dunnsville, Ontario, Can
ada:
Mrs. H. e. Emerson died at the home
Of her mother, Mrs. Annie Robertson,
viz: Burnside Farm" Seneca, on Tues.
day, November 81, 1899. At her bed
side was her husband, mother, brother
and near relatives. Deceased was born
of scotch parentage and she showed
the many good virtues known to be
possessed by the Scotch people. Her
early life was spent on the farm, where
she acquired 80 much of the sweetness
Of love for nature and her God. Intel
lectualiy she was exceptionally bright,
and no mean power of composition
was developed. Almost instinctiuely
and without effort her thoughts ran to
rhyme, and poems of no little merit are
Today among the treasures of her
friends. Music and painting also came
TO her with but little exertion. Charity
toall was her motto. In her own life
she knew what sorrow meant. Death
had already more than once come to
her own home, and though she once
NOR knew the joys of home and hus-
bands tender, affectionate care, she had
still the consciousness that vigorous
health could not long be hers, as the
demon consumption, contracted from
her former husband, had set his sea-
upon her. She was thorough chris
tain. Since her last marriage she
found more time for study while living
in the city of Denver, Col. And so the
memory of true, sweet lifey lived in
usefulness, is left for us here, that we
too may be stirred up to be kindly in all
service, charitable in all thought, fruit
full In all duty. geall

DEWEY AGAIN DENIES IT
The Admiral Insists He Has
No Political Ambition.
NOT A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
Says He Is Incapacitated for the Place by
Vocation, Disposition, Education
and Training.

New YORK, April II. - Admiral
Dewey has given to the Manila CORE
spondent Of the Associated Press an in
terview regarding the suggestion that
the admiral be made a candidate for
presidential honors. The admiral said
as to his politics.:
81 am sailor, and a sailor has NO
politics. The administration is his
party, and Republican or Democratic,
it makes no difference. Then, again,
come from Vermont, and you know
what that means. To be anything but
Republican in Vermont is to be man
without a party. My flag lieutenant
comes from Georgia. He tells me that
to be anything but Democrat in the
South is to be a nobody. If I lived
South I would probably be a Demo.
GRAFT"
Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education OF
training was he capacitated to fill the
presidency. He said that he was toe
well along in life to consider such a
possibility. His health would not ad-
mitit. All his life's work was in diff.
ferent lines of effort, and that, while
the kindness and enthusiasm of his
friends were grateful to him and the
generous tributes of the American PEG.
pie were dear to him, he could not and
would not be a candidate for the presi
dency of the United States under any
conditions.

All Montana Rivers Turned Into Raging
Torrents.
ANACONDA, Mon, April 11.-Specials
to The Standard from various parts of
Montana show that the recent chinook
has made raging torrents out of most of
the rivers, in many cases breaking all
records. The Yellowstone has caused
the greatest loss to life and property.
Ice jams have backed the water up at
Glendive and Miles City, where the
greatest damage has been done.
At Miles City the ice damned the
mouth of the Tongue river, forcing the
water back until the entire south side
of the city was under water. Seventy
five houses had to be abandoned; the
people having to be rescued in boats
SO quick had been the rise of water.
Later in the afternoon the water broke
over the track into Main street where
it ran torrent.
Washouts are reported all along the
Northern Pacific and passenger trains
are stalled all along the line, but the
details are slow in coming.

GAME OF A NOTED FAMILY.

Justice Field Was One of Four Remark.
able Brothers.
Stephen johnson Field was one of the
four remarkable Field brothers, sons of
Rev. David Dudley Field, New Eng
land clergyman. These brothers were
David Dudley, the great cedifer; Cyrus
West, who laid the Atlantic cable, and
Henry Martyr, the distinguished divine
and religious editor.
Stephen j., who was to be justice
of the United States supreme court, was
born in Haddam, Conn.,, in the Berk-
shire hills, Nov. 4, 1916. When he was
A3, he went with his sister Emilia, who
had married a missionary, to Smyrna,
for the purpose Of acquiring knowl-
ledge of the Oriental languages. Upon
his return from the East, at the age of
p6, he entered Williams college, from
which institution he was graduated in
1887, standing at the head of his class.
Then he entered the law Office of his
brother, David Dudley Field, in New
York, and upon his admission to the
bar he became partner in the firm.
Went to California in 40.
In 1649, the gold fever having broken
out, he went to San Francisco, where
he opened law office and was one of
the party that founded Marysville, be-
coming the first alcalde of that place.
This Office he held until the organiza-
ton Of the Judiciary under the constitu-
ton Of the state. ..
j He served in the legislature from
'Yuba county the first year after Cali
fornia was admitted into the Union. In
1857 he was elected judge of the SUI
preme court of California When in
September, 1859, Chief Justice David S.
Terry resigned, Field succeeded him
and filled that Office until appointed to
the supreme bench as war Democrat
by President Abraham Lincoln in 1868.
In 1880 he was placed in nomination by
his supporters for the presidency at the
Cincinnati convention Of the Demo
cratic party, receiving IS votes on the
first ballot. In 1878 he was appointed
10y the governor Of California member
Via commission to examine the code of
ws Of that state and prepare amend
tents.
The Killing of Judge Terry.
It was in 1889 that the dramatic kill
lag of Judge Terry-the same who was
hucceeded by Field as chief justice Of
jalifornia- took place. Judge Terry
ad married the notorious woman Sarah
Althea Hill. She had long been en-
gagged in litigation over the estate Of
Senator Sharon Of California, whose
wife she claimed to be. Terry had

acted as her counsel before his marriage
rs her and was very much incensed at
Justice Fields decision that the mar
rage contract produced BY the woman
was a forgery.
In Superior Judge Sullivan's court q
favorable verdict had been given toher,
and when Justice Field reversed this
decision she tried to shoot him in court
and for this was promptly arrested.
Terry drew bowie knife in order to
prevent her arrest, and both were sent
to prison. When they were released,
they were desperate and practically de-
mented and threatened Justice Fields
life openly.
>Deputy Marshal as Protector.
His friends warned him that the ut
most caution was necessary on his part,
and, accordingly, Deputy United States
Marshal Maggie, acting under instruc-
lions from the attorney general of the
United States and Marshal Franks,
accompanied Field wherever he went.
At Lathrop, CAL, while Justice Field
was breakfasting, Terry approached
him and without warning assaulted him
from behind. Nagle was at hand and
very promptly shot Terry, killing him
Instantly. Both Deputy Marshal Maggie
and Justice Field were arrested, but
nothing in the way of punishment ever
came of the arrest.
Justice Field was not married until
he had passed the 40-year limit by sew
eral years, when he wooed and won
Miss Swearingen, the daughter Of his
California landlady. They had no chill
dren.
Justice Field retired from the SUI
preme bench Dec. l, 1897, his term of
service on that tribunal being the long
est on record. He was succeeded by
Attorney General McKenna, also of
California.

WAS CAUSED BY A CHINOOK

GLEND1vE, Mon, April 11.-An ice
gorge in the Yellowstone river at this
point caused the stream to overflow,
drowning 10 persons. Three spans Of
the steel bridge are washed out, causing
a loss of $25, 900; the Northern Pacific
tracks are inundated and possibly
washed away for some distance, and the
loss to live stock by drowning will in
volve large sum. The dead are: Mrs.
r. w. Snyder, wife of rancher; Miss
Nellie Reagan, her niece; Miss Rose
Wybrecht, a visitor to the Snyder
ranch; George F. O'C onnor, and James
Sullivan, wife and six children.
The ice began moving at 7:30 in the
evening and continued flowing until
$3.50 p. M, when it formed gorge. The
Snyder party, noticing the backwater,
started for the Northern Pacific tracks,
Hoping to Escape Drowning,
but before they covered half the dis
lance the water was waist deep and
they took refuge in a tree. O'Connor
was the first to be washed from the
tree, Mrs. Snyder the second and Miss
Wybrecht the third. A huge piece of
ice struck the tree and broke it in two,
carrying off Miss Reagan.
Later developments found eight more
persons who were victims of the over
flow, making 10 in all. They COM
prised the entire family of James Sui
Ivan, wife and six children, whose resi-
dence is within 900 yards of the nearest
point Of the Yellowstone river. When
Sheriff Aiken and Charles Parker
crossed the river amidst the floating ice
they found the Sullivan residence with
doors and windows open and the entire
family dead in the room.

They also assert that his appointment

Britain Endorsed the objections. After
several cablegrams were exchanged be-

archbishop withdrew his name. His
action in Withdrawing was sanctioned
by the pope, and instead of injuring his
chances of becoming a cardinal, will,
