 Deputy Sheriff Porter Mcdonald re- turned this noon from the Exposed Reef mine, where he went in company with Coroner Clark, to investigate the killing of John Powell by Andy Griffin. A jury was impanneled at the scene of the tragedy, and the only witness to the homicide (Pete Connor) testified that Powell and Griffin quarreled at the saloon of the former, who applied harsh language to Griffin i; the latter armed himself and returned when Powell attempted to draw bis gun but was not quick enough, Griffin firing, the ball entering Powell's mouth, emerging at the back of the head and killing him instantly.
 The jury did not render verdict, bnt recommended that the inquisition be continued inTom bstone, whereupon Coroner Clark adjourned farther in- vestigation to the county seat, pend. ing which both Griffin and Connor are in custody of the sheriff.

AFish Story.
From the Globe Silver Bels.l

trrom the Utooe Silver Belt
 Mir. Rooseve't's ideas of honesty are well illustrated in the following story. It was during the time he conducted a cattle ranch in Wyoming. Riding about his ranch one day he noticed a maverick from neighbours ranch. A maverick is beast which has not been branded. One of his cowboys began to tumble the maverick over, prepara- tory to branding it, when the follow ing colloquy occurred:
 Roosevelt-What are you doing?
 Rustler-o, am just rustling.
 Roosevelt-Are' you going to put my brand on that maverick? Rustler-Yes.
 Roosevelt-You go up to the ranch house and get your time tonight. l don't want to have anything to do witt you. If you will steal for me you will steal from me.

Monday night the father aud tvo
sons retired. RaY was then in tb.
best of health and in his usual good
spirits. About tour O'Clock Tues
day morning the younger son go,
up and discovered that his brothq,
was missing. He aroused bis
father and a search was instituted
which resulted in the discovery Of
his lifeless body suspended from a
rafter in the barn.
The announcement was received
with profound sorrow by the neigh.
bors and friends, who had known
the young man in life, and no one
is able to advance any cause other
than depressed spirits.

MELAN JH0LY MARKED Hin
And in a State Of Depression Ray Hartmal
Hanged Himself.

Death was his choice and he
sought it in the early morning
hours, while all about him was
hushed in silence. While his
father and a younger brother were
asleep in adjoining rooms, Ray
Hartman, nineteen years old, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Hartman,
of Catawissa township, arose from
his bed, to which he had retired in
apparent good spirits on the previ-
ous evening, and leaving the house
without disturbing the sleeping
members of the household, went to
the barn and there committed sui
eide by hanging himself with the
hay rope. There does not appear to
be an answer to the question of
what caused him to commit the
deed, and the case resolves to one
of temporary insanity.

gestions i'll work to gathering and
using pictures. Among other
things she said: The use Of pictures
in educational work. is receiving
more attention than ever before.
The stories of Egypt are written in
the pictures that have been discov-
cred. Even in the early part of the
Christian era the people express
their thoughts largely by means of
Mosaics, Madonnas and other works
Of art which are masked by beauty
and idealism. In almost every
daily paper are cartoons expressing
the thoughts of some party, al
though this Use of pictures is often
bad one. Educators as we'll as
business men have realized the
great benefit in tie use of pictures
and are ever on the alert TO secure
the best for educational purposes.
In purchasing pictures the practical
and useful should be secured first,
and then the more beautiful and
sentimental. The value of pictures
in language, history and nature
work can hardly be overestimated.
Mrs. Croswell had on exhibition
large number OF pictures. Pic
lures of wild and domestic animals
are very interesting to children,
and aid in the study of fables and
in showing the relations of one ami
NAL to another. Landscape and
historical pictures are of special
value in teaching history. The
study Of Evangeline will be a real
thing if the portrait Of Longfellow
is used in connection with the
poem. If teachers desire their
school boards to secure pictures for
them they should show that they
can use them and need them.
Many pictures can be cut Fl ON mag
azines and mounted on cheap paper.
Mrs. Croswell gave an interesting
account of how pictures were intro
duced into the homes and schools
Of Northern Wisconsin. An effort
is being made by the instructors of
the Normal School to circulate
pictures among the schools of the
county; the same method to be used
as in furnishing pictures for the
decoration of the students rooms.
Mrs. Croswell earnestly requested
the teachers to assist in the collect
ing OF pictures, and in devising
plans to have them introduced into
the schools and homes of the county.

COUNTY INSTITUTE.
Columbia County Teachers Heartily Wei
coined 10 the Annual Institute.

REPORTED BY THE SECRETARY.
The Thirty-Ninth Annual Teach
ers' Institute convened in the Court
House on Monday, at 1880 p. IN.
The session was opened by short
song service, conducted by 0. H.
Yetter, which was followed by the
invocation, by Rev. G.. H. Eeming-
way, who also made few pointed
remarks on the Importance OF the
work of the teacher. Among other
things he said, 1.-The best article OH
teaching is a real earnest teacher.
The teachers Of Columbia county
compare favorably with those of any
other section. Not only the in
tellectual, but also the moral educa-
tion of children should receive at
tention. True men and true women
are wanted everywhere. The de-
velopment Of character is more i'm
portant than the acquiring of math-
ematical or historic facts. The
teachers of community are the
ministers support in carrying on
the moral and religious work. AL
though teachers are often censured
in the efforts to discipline the un-
ruly spirits under their care, they
have the symathy of the more in
telligent people of the community.
Teachers should secure strength
and inspiration from the infinite
source of wisdom.
Supt. Miller then appointed the
following committee on Classical
Reading for Teachers :" Samuel
Johnston, E. B. Beishline, Miss
! Kshinka, Miss Anna Kitchen and
Miss Verne Jones.
At this time the teachers were
given an opportunity to visit the
silk and carpet factories, a treat
which was enjoyable as well as prof
liable. The silk mill is one of
the most important industries of
Bloomsbury. The company was
organized in 1889 and is now cap
italized at $500, 900. Four hun
dred men, women and children,
are employed, who turn out a pro-,
duct valued at $3.50, 900 yearly.
The total amount paid to these en-
ployees is $40, 900 per month. The
manufacture Of silk is very inter-
esting. Only part OF the work is
done, however, in the Bloomsbury
mill.
Silk worm culture is carried on
extensively in China, Italy and
other countries of Europe. From
these countries the silk is imported
in hanks, which are made by reel
ing the silk from the cocoons on
filatures. Although the fibres of
these hanks contain four or FIVE
strands, the silk is too ine and del
icate for ordinary purposes, hence
the first operation it undergoes in
the mills of our country is for the
purpose of twisting it into more
substantial yarn, and is called
throwing. This is done by winding
the silk from the hanks, which are
placed on light reels, called swifts,
to bobbins. These bobbins are then
taken to the first spinning frame

Richard f. Smith. first mate Of tho
Bos ton whaer Josephine, tells of a
hard fight with a whale In which the
fourth mate was killed, a sailor bad
ly hurt and two whaleboats destroy
cd, the whale escaping.
The whale was attacked by tha
first mates boat. AS quickly as no
felt the blow Of the iron he made a
rush for the boat and caught the
bIubber hunters mapping. They had
lust time to Swerve their boat away. {
A second rush was more successful
and he smashed the boat. Smith
was thrown into the sea but was
quickly rescued. The whale made q
third rnsh and again hit the boat
hard. The fourth mate and crew
came on the scene at this time and
the whale charged them.
There was one brisk round, ending
in victory for the whale. The huge
head crashed upon the boat in an un-
guarded moment and scattered its
enemies in a shower Of oars, chips
and men. All were saved but the
fourth mate who had been killed.

LOVE SICK
SWAIN SHOT

Bordentown, N. j., May J. When
Mr.. Jobes, Town Marshall and the
Sherlock Holmes Of Burlington Coun-
ty. was unable to determine how Ar
thur Sprouts, Jr., received u bullet
in his shoulder, last night, while IN
the yard of his home, al Prince and
Union streets, the people of Borden
town concluded that the city had at
last Il real mystery to puzzle the po'
lice.
Young Sprouts says short, fat
man tried to murder him. He be.
lieves that the would be assassin at
tempted to make good the warning
sent in White Caplike letters that If
he did not cease his attenti tions to
pretty I7-year-old Irene Pierce, of
Prince street, he should be killed.
While busy on the clew furnished by
the loye-slck youth it was discovered
that Sprouts had bought 32-calibre
pistol five weeks ago, but search
failed to find it today.
There is a romance behind the
mysterious shooting. Sprouts is the
10 year-oId son and only child OF a
carpenter employed by the Pcnnsyl-
vania Railroad. The son is clerk
in L. S. Buzby's store. at Prince and
Burlington streets. Last fall he
fell in love at first sight with black
haired, checked girl, who fire.
Quently came to the store to make
purcha ses. She was Irene Pierce,
who had Just come from Perkasie,
Bucks County, across the Delaware,
to live with her grandmother, Mrs,
Anna Il. Wood, one of the best
known residents Of this city. Both
Arthur's parents and lrene's grand
mo her forbade the boy and girl from
excepting company last January.
The grocer clerk was madly in love,
and the orders Of his parents were a
severe blow to him. Shortly after
ward he says he received an unsigned
letter by OF. 1t told HIM that he
must return Irene Pierce's photo
graph and ring to her or he would be
Shot. He says second letter, signed
Beware" reached him through the
mails. 1t reminded him that he
hadn't obeycd the warning of the
first letter. and that he would be
shot on his way home from Phlladel-
phia, where he goes once week to
take a music lesson. lie at once
sent his chum, Willard Fennon, to
Irene with an envelope, containing
the ring and picture, but as he didn't
go to Philadelphia of course he
was not slain. Fcnnon brought the
ring back in the envelope but few
days later Arthnr gave it to Miss
Pierce on the street. Young Sprouts
says that the plot thickened lasG
week when a little boy appeared at
the grocery store and handed him a
mysterious note, the writer OF which
was evidently jealous of his love FOR
the Bucks County girl. 1t contained
n threat of death,
