BURGLARY AT ZALMA,

About 2 o'clock on the morning of the
20th inst, Leo Slinkard, of the firm Of
J. V. Slinkard C Co., at Zalma, was
awakened by noise on the lower floor.
Slipping out of bed, with trusty
Smith & Wesson in his hand he walked
lightly to the head of the stairs, where
he could see over the first floor of the
building. He was only a few seconds in
locating thief who was striking
matches, trying to find such articles as
he needed in his business. Picking an
opportunity, when match was ignited
by the intruder, Leo ordered him to light
a lamp, which was near him, with the
match, and Immediately the burglar
threw down the match, and no sooner did
he do so than Leo put his Smith C Wesson
to work, firing a shot which missed the
fellows head only few inches. AS the
shot was fired Leo rushed down the stair
way, facing the enemy, who was excited
over Leo's actions and Immediately
threw up his hands. Holding his gun
on the man, Leo searched him, finding
a revolver and few articles he had just
possessed himself of.
Leo then turned his man over to Deputy
Shift J. W. Dixon, who took him before
Esq. Gaines and after waving the ne
cessity of a preliminary examination,
was brought to Marble Hill and placed
in our latest addition to Bollinger county
to await the action of our next grand
jury. He says his name is Charley
Wilson, and, judging from his cool de-
meanor, one would conclude that he has
seen the inside of other jails.

than one hour. The cause of the act
is supposed to be discouragement
arising from setbacks financially and
otherwise. About year since he
stated that he was then of mind to
kill himself but the remark was not
construed as being uttered in earnest.
He leaves a wife and one daughter.
He had held the office of Justice of the
peace and was respected citizen.
His home was on farm near the line
dividing the towns of Northfield and
WilliamstOWn.
The government building at st. AL
bans now completed was started in
1890. Congress on March 8, 1891,
made an appropriation of 100000 for
it. On March 3, 1898, it appropriated
s35, 900 to complete it. Inthe fire of
1895, the building was partially de-
stroycd. On June II, 1896, congress
voted $40, 900 for building and re-
pairing it, making the total amount
appropriated $4,000. The amount
expended for the site and incidental
expense was So, ,788.4O, and the total
cost of the building. rebuilding and
repairing, was $146, ,211.6O. The Yer
mont Marble company furnished all
the marble for the building.
The hunting season for deer in Yer
mont, which this year is very short,
opened Oct. 22nd and will continue
only the rest of the month. This
short open season is due to the fact
that an amendment was made to the
law granting the month of October
for deer hunting, cutting the time
down to the last ten days ofthe month.
The shortening of the open season
was due to the great slaughter of the
game and the fear that if continued
for another season it would result
either in the determination of the
deer or in driving them out of the
large number of the sportsmen from
cities and states outside of Vermont
came in and took part in the shooting.
There. was hearing before Judge
H.H. Wheeler at BrattlebOrO recently
to determine the liability of stock
holders in the bankrupt Crystal
The question at issue was whether or
not the stockholders who had paid for
their holdings only in part of the full
par value were liable for an assess
ment to the full par value of the stock.
Judge Wheeler has just handed down
his decision in the case and his find
ings were in substance that the COM
pany had SO stockholders; that the
had in law given cred
itors to understand that $25 per share,
the full par value, had been paid into
the corporation or would be upon
call, and that the same was available
for the payment of debts, and every
creditor had right to rely upon that
state of facts. 1t appeared that but
$40 per share had in fact been paidin,
SO that the corporation had become
when it would have been
solvent had the whole amount been
paid in. It was therefore ordered that
each stockholder should pay in S15
more on each share to complete pay
ment to the full par value of the stock
and that payments should be made by
November 1, and, if not made by that
date, should be enforced by suit in the
United States court. The capital stock
Of the company was $5O, 1000, and $40
300 has been paid in. The assessment
will amount in total, therefore, to
$50 OOO

The Beers, at the expiration of the
forty eight hours given the British in
their ultimatum demanding that the
British troops be withdrawn from
their border, Immediately proceeded
to take advantage of England's weak
ness and to seize all the best points of
defence possible before the British
army could be re- enforced. There is
no chance for a European coalition
against England and when she has once
set in motion the army she will soon
have in the Transvaal there can be
but one outcome, and while the Beers
may succeed at first they must ulti-
mately succumb to a far superior
force. England is raising an immense
army, far larger than she will need to
conquer the little African republic, but
she may intend to show the nations of
Europe that she is not only mistress

The reports from Manila do not
seem to be just what the American
people would like to see in every re-
spect. It may be that everything
possible is being done by General Otis,
but there would be a better feeling all
around if the President would send
General Miles or General Merritt to
take comm nd of the troops there and
then, when the season will permit,
make an active campaign. We do
not want to be obliged to carry on an
active warfare with the natives for
the next ten years and if they are
able to cope with the United States
troops indefinitely, then it would
seem that they are also able to gov
ern themselves. When the conditions
are such that troops can be moved
and handled easily. the insurgents
should be subdued or given a chance
to see what they can do running af-
fairs.

AS the election of state officers will
be held in several states next month
considerable interest is being mani
tested. The greatest excitement is in
Ohio, the home of President McKin-
ley, and Nebraska, Bryan's state.
While Ohio is ranked as "a republican
state yet it often goes by a very small
margin,h and the republicans are of
course particularly anxious to carryit

The Gilman Store
Garment Department

And what it contains will be OF
interest to any family in Orleans
County that has a garment need to
supply. There are so many more
kinds and so many more styles here
than can be found at any other
store, it's an easier matter to get
just the garment wanted. Gar
ments here at all prices from one
dollar to fifty dollars each. Can
not tell you about them all, but
just about some of the ten dollar
ones. The very best black Jackets
we could possibly get to sell at
$1,000 are here. And there are
colors at the same. They are roy
al blue, navy blue, light tan, dark
tan, castor brown, gray, and mixed
goods. Jackets that are long in
the waist, others that are short.
Jackets that are large and Jackets
that are small. Jackets here that
will fit. They are not all made
alike because all figures are not
alike. If you don't want a Jacket
but do want Golf Cape or any
other cape, you can please your.
self here if you can in the county.
We are selling Capes freely because
the assortment has been good, and
because prices have been very mod
crate. We would be glad to have
every lady in the county see our
garment stock this fall; it would
be profitable for them and for us.
Children's Garments
Long and short ones, and a good
many kinds to pick from at low
figures.
Suits and Separate Skirts
An assortment of both here.
Millinery
One Of the best stocks to be
found. Pattern hats and bonnets,
a lot of them, and all at moderate
prices.
No matter what you want in
Dry Goods, you'll find the greatest
variety here.

The contest between the Columbia
and Shamrock was ended last Friday,
when the Columbia won the third
race, thus keeping the cup on this
side of the water another year. Lip
ton made a hard and manly fight to
take the cup back to England with
him, but America has again proven
her superiority over the mother
country.

The second race between the CO.

was won by the Columbia, the Sham

the English yacht, and let the fastest
boat win.

Some of the papers are still trying
to boom Admiral Dewey for the pres
idency, but to all appearances it would
please the Admiral much more if they
would give him a rest in this matter.
He is in a position far better than
that he would occupy as President,
and we believe that he could not be
induced to accept the nomination un-
der any circumstances.

Last Monday afternoon about 5
O'Clock the citizens of Willmar who
happened to pass in the neigh borhood
of Madison's saloon had occasion to
witness a sight that should be an eye
opener, the marshall arresting man
and wife for drunkenness. They were
lodged in Jail, where the woman, not
being completely stupetied with liquor,
commenced to moan and cry for her
little weeks old baby that she had
left at home. Goodness knows that it
is bad enough to see aman staggering
down the street, but when it has come
to such a pass. that: "a; woman will
leave: her new born babe, come to
town and GO into these places of in
EQUITY and get drunk, necess Eating
her arrest and Judgement in jail, it is
indeed humilating. Shame on Will
