BIOOdhOunds Lost the Trail.

Bloodhounds we're taken from Rutland
to Stockbridge Friday, but the animals
were unable to find the trail. The dogs
we're tried unsuccessfullv at again Ripton.
The Shaws were seen at West Rochester
Saturday morning by Joseph Fuller, who
was in his barn when the men struck into
the road from the woods. The Shaws saw
Fuller and coming up to the barn asked
him the way to Brandon. This action is
supposed to have been ruse, as both men
had worked in the lumber camps in that
locality and were familiar with the roads.
1t was generally believed that the Shaws
would head for Ripton, and about 200 men
we're looking for them in that section. An
erroneous report was sent out from Wood
stock Sunday night that the men were cor
nered in a swamp at West Rochester.
Many of the officers and men who took
part in the man hunt became exhausted
and returned to their homes Sunday.
Sheriff Thaddeus Chapman of Middlebury
was determined that the Shaws should not
reach Now York state through Addison
county and he stationed men at all of the
fords on Lake Champlain and at every
bridge across Otter creek. The creek is
very high and it is believed that the men
will not be able to cross between the
bridges. Sheriff Chapman was thrown
from his buggy while starting on the search
Saturday and so badly injured that he was
unconscious several hours.
Got Food at q House Surrounded by
Armed Men.
Frank Shaw worked last winter for
George w. Flanders in Ripton and some
of the officers thought that the Shaws
would come there for food. Preparations
were made to capture the desperadoes by
stationing seven men armed with rifles 20
rods from the house on the opposite side of
the road. Mr. Flanders was to give the

THE ooRED OK.

The same papers that were lam
pooning Carl Schurz four years ago
because of his refusal to swallow 16
to l are now devoting columns OF eu-
logy to his backsliding. But all they
say cannot make less convincing the
arguments of four years ago, prov
ing the folly of following the fres
silver statesman.-Republi paper.
And the same papers that lampoon-
ed Senator Hoar a few months ago
and called him an imbecile and a
laundering old idiot, now say that he
is a conservative. intelligent and pa
triotic statesman. The reason Ia that
the senator has recently said that he
would support Mckinley for president.
although he said last winter that on
account of the presidents course In
the Philippines the destruction OF the
American republic would begin with
The administration of VIM. Mckinley.

The middIe-of-the-roader In Me-
braska are demoralized. Their state
convention at Grand Island has proved
to be a boomerang and IL has flown
back and killed its inventors. The
honest men in that crowd are repu-
dating the whole business. The evil
dence OF Republican management and
Republican money was too strong TO
be resisted All the true reformers
among them are coming back to the
regular party organization. AS be-
tween Bryan and Mckinley they will
choose Bryan every time The mid
dle-of-the-road movement has already
spent It's force. 1t was conceived in
sin, brought forth In iniquity, and 1t
has died the death Of the wicked.

ley and will not waste their time on

didn't; he always wants a sure thing.
I here is no chance about his dice
tLev are always loaded. He plays no
game except those in which he is sure
to win and the other fellow is sure to
lose. He would bet on a horse race
il his horse was good one and the
opposing nag had only three legs.
He also said that he never went
hunting or fishing day in his life. :"
Poor fellow, he is much to be pitied.
He never had any genuine fun. What
good is all his wealth II he don't play
poker, run horses. fish for suckers or
hunt jackrabbits?

No, Europe does not pay us gold"
On the contrary, while we send abroad
a thousand million of dollars worth OF
products year. instead of getting
pay In gold, we send some gold and
silver along with the goods.
What. and get nothing in return2
Precisely. We get nothing but the
interest coupons clipped from the
bonds held abroad, which clipping In
no degree reduces the principal or ys
the debt. but after we have annually
poured our thousand million dollars
worth of products into the lap or NAV
of London for one hundred years, we
find that this entire vast export has
not paid the interest. and the debt has
grown larger by the sum so unpaid.
But look here, the Republican party
has been telling us that this vast. ex-
cess of exports constitutes balance
of trade in "our favor" Is not this
true2 And IL so, how do you reconcile
1t with your statement above?
1t is not true.
If we took into account ONLY the
goods exported and the goods import

excess exported, we might properly
say the balance of trade was In our
favor, and this half-told story Is what
the Republican editors. orators and

entirely false conclusion, for we dc
NOT get cash for the surplus OF ex-

The recent mysterious discovery OF
human skeleton In a box hidden In
the wall OF a house in Westminster
calls to mind many instances of a
similar nature which have been re-

ago family vacated house at
Wandsworth that had been occupied
for over twenty years without any
change OF tenants. The landlord then
set to work to repair the building, and
finding some of the walls were In a
rather dilapidated condition, resolved
to put another window in one of the
front rooms before remedying the de-
fects. He was considerably astonished
few days after the work had been
commenced to hear that the workmen
had discovered the remains of three
skeletons in the wall through which
they were cutting A deep cavity had
been followed out, and In this the
gruesome relics reposed. At first there
was nothing very extraordinary In
these facts, though they savorsd OF a
crime, but IL was soon found that In
each case the skull had been battered
In and penetrated as IL by a sharp In
strument A medical man called in
to inspect the bones stated that they

/ came apparent that years before some
horrible crime had been perpetrated In
this very house, the walls of which hid
their secret until all hope of bringing
the culprit to justice had vanished The
family. too. had lived there for twenty
years without the slightest suspicion
OF the terrible evidence OF guilt that
existed within a few yards Of whers
they had their meals. Until quite late

house that has now been merged into
the adjoining one to form large pub
