THE COURTS.

In the United States court yesterday
morning. William ID. Haley of Fort
Fairfield was indicted with three others
for conspiracy to smuggle wool from
Canada to the United States The charge
against Haley Is rather odd in it's char
acter. 1t seems that Haley and others
took offence against one Herbert N. Good
hue, because Goodhue procured their ar
rest for selling Intoxicating LIQUORS. Tt
Is charged that In order to get even with
Goodhue, Haley and others went to
Canada and bought a large quantity OF
wool for Is cents a pound When they
had secured a car load they went to Good
hue and negotiated with him to purchase
and ship it, making the price so low that
he thought he was getting good thing
out OF the trade. Then, 1t is charged, in
order to feed their grudge against Good
hue, Haley and the others gave inforna-
tion to the federal authorities that Good
hue was about to ship a carload of wool
without paying duties on 1t. Theswool
was seized and GoOdhue was about to
be prosecuted when the facts in the case
leaked out and Haley was arrested In
stead OF Goodhue. This is the outline of
the case against Haley, and for which
he was indicted yesterday. The three
others . mentioned IN the Indictment are
not yet under arrest.
Other indictments made public are
those of Josiah Allen and Benjamin +.
Emerson of Chelsea, for violation of the
internal re venue law.

LITTLE GIRL KILLED AT WEST
BROOK

Mildred Hale, the tive-year-old daugh'
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Hale, resid-
ing on what is known as the flat, on
Main street, met with fatal accident
yesterday noon.
The little child in attempting to cross
the street, in some way or other came
in contact with a pair OF horses driven
by Mr. Thompson of West Cumberland.
The horses were in coal and wood cart,
and Mr.. Thompson was driving along
slowly at the time and did not see or
hear the child until he heard a scream.
evidently when the child was knocked
over by the horses.
The child's head was crushed as was
her chest, and it was only question
OF a few minutes before she died as re-
suit of the accident.
A coroner was summoned, but no IN
quest was deemed necessary.

MAD DOG RAN AMUCK.
Created a Panic Around CASTOR AMI
jefferson Streets.

Created Panic Around CASTOR AMI
jefferson Streets.
A panic was created yesterday morn
ing at Castor and jefferson streets 10y
a mad dog which bit three persons before
he was killed. The dog and his condition
were discovered shortly before O'Clock
and was brought about by his vicious at
tack on colored man. The man man
aged to escape before he was badly bitten
but two other persons were subsequently
attacked and bitten within a few minutes
after the first occurrence.
The dog took refuge under a low stoop
in the vicinity. and all the persons who
knew of his condition and location for their
part sought places of safety either indoor
or by getting away from his immediate
neighborhood. Someone who happened
along and discovered the condition Ct
affairs telephoned TO the barracks for a
policeman and Officer S. NJ. Davis was
told to go to the scene. When he arrived
the dog was still under the stoop snarling
and growing and apparently in the hu-
NOR to make further attacks upon any
body or anything that disturbed him.
The officer approached within good pis-
to shot and sent bullet through the ca
mines brain. Only the one shot was nee
essary. The persons bitten had left the
scene before the officer arrived and as none
of them reported at the barracks their
names and the extent of their injuries
could not be learned.

VALUE OF GOOH BEDS.

Anarchy and other Nervous Disor-
Rest.
From the New York Mail and Express.
The normal man spends one-third of
his life in bed said a mattress-makeF 10
a Mail and Express reporter, 'and | may
add that in the case of most persons this
time is spent in discomfort. 1t is amazing
that people should provide Themselves
with good clothes, good food, good houses,
and good entertainment while they
spend one-third of their lives on old ticks
that are bumpy and hard. and not in a
sanitary condition. Any moVe-wagon man
will tell you that 1 speak the truth about
this.
Especially in the suburbs and the
country districts is this true. 1t is espe-
cially true of persons who do hard physi-
cal work-the very ones who should have
good beds Go through the tenements OF
the city and examine the beds. You will
not be surprised that the people who
sleep on them are wan and restless, htled
with nervous diseases and wild ideas of
political enconmy.
"Disraeli advised all young men TO
start out in life with good clothes Ihat
is good advice, but he should have adj
vsed them also 10 buy a good bed. He
slept on one. A man who does not sleep
well is fearfully handicapped in the race
for livelihood Uncomfortable beds
cause nine-tenths of the nervous diseases
with which humanity is afflicted. | have
known instances where persons who had
spent hundreds of dollars with doctors in
vain were restored to health by merely
buying good beds.
THE construction of a sanitary bed l.
a work of art, yet Is so simple that any
housewife could be taught to make one.
If ] had my way | would close up few
of the charity hospitals and use the money
thus saved in supplying beds 10 the poor
and in maintaining college of beds where
the art of making beds should be taught.
You will find that every man or woman
who amounts to anything these days
sleeps on a good bed; you will find as
corollary to this proposition that every
anarchist and every sufferer from other
nervous diseases does not sleep on a good
bed If you have not a first-class mat
tress, buy one at once, even If you have
to sell the piano to raise the money
'Jails and all public Institutions should
have better beds, and the law should set
a standard for hotel beds. They are az
necessary as pure food"
