SAVED BY ais WIFE.
Mrs. Aaron Trcxler Ran Three Miles to Warn
Her Husband Of impending Danger.

Another shooting affray occurred at
Montana, Wednesday afternoon, three
miles from Ashland, which will prob =
ably result in the death of one of the
participants.
For weeks past there has been bad
feeling between Aaron Trexler and
Frank Earnest. Both live at Mon
tana.
Shortly after noon Wednesday
Earnst appeared on the street, and
flourishing revolver, declared his in
teption of shooting Trexler on sight.
Trexler was known to be at Centralia
transacting business, and Earnest start
ed down the road to meet him.
Trexler's wife was informed, and
she at once started on run for Cen
tralia, taking a roundabout road.
When midway between her home anil
Centrala she cut into the main road
A minute later Trexler's wagon hove
in sight, and the woman after reaching
it, was so overcome that she could
not speak. Finally she managed to
deliver her warning message to her
husband. She was placed in the wag.
on, and Trexler started for home,
keeping a sharp lookout for Earnst.
He had not gone more than three
hundred yards, when he came upon
him. Earnst walked into the middle
Of the road and asked Trexler to get
off the wagon and fight it out. Trek
Ter stepped into the road, and had no
sooner reached it than the report of
pistol was heard and Trexler's left
hand fell to his side with three fingers
blown off. He drew his revolver with
his right hand, and fired two shots u
quick succession at his aSsallant, both
of which took effect in his right and
left breasts. He fell and Trexler went
to Centralia, where he surrendered to
the authorities.
A number of people who had beard
Earnst's threat followed him down the
road but were not on the scene when
the shooting occurred. Hearing the
shots, however, they fastened forward,
and the wounded man was conveyed
to his home, and afterward brought to
the Miners Hospital, where he now
lies in a dying condition. Trexler is
in Jail.

HARRISBURG, IA, uIy, 1901.
The capital is finally rid of the
smallpox, the pest house being dis
infected last week after having cared
for one hundred and sixteen patients
none of whom died and none of
whom were even badly Scared by
the dread disease. The city was also
relieved OF the legislature a month
ago, though many Of its members
didn't escape so easily as the victims
of the smallpox. Some of them lett

THE GOVERNOR AS LEGISLATOR.
Governor Stone did large share
of the work proper of the House
and Senate, or rather he did their
work over to suit himself, and as
the governor, like the Supreme
court, has the last guess, his will
stands as the action of the people S
representatives., no matter how
much it may misrepresent their
wishes.
His excellency hied himself to
Atlantic City at the close of the ses-
sion to gather strength to WELD the
veto hatchet but the Atlantic
breezes, or the sea water, or the
New Jersey mosquitoes or someth-
ing else did not seem to appeal favor
ably to the side of his better nature
and when he returned he was like
the proverbial bear with a sore head
and treated even his stalwart friends

Tried to Out His Throat,

John Gulick, who shot and killed
his mother and brother at Kline's
Grove, above Sunbury, few months
ago, tried to commit suicide in the
Northumberland county Jail Tuesday,
by cutting his throat. The weapon
used was an ordinary table knife,
which had been sharpened to the
kecnness of razor blade. The
timely arrival of the Jail physician,
w. B. Stohner, prevented Gulick
from bleeding to death.

Witnesses Have Rights.

The New York supreme court in
setting aside verdict obtained in a
rather sensationaltria OF a suit against
a member of the Gould family, has
put on record sentence that deserves
to be famous. 1t is to the effect that
even witnesses in the courts have GER
tain rights of privacy in confidential
matters which lawyers are bound to
respect; and that when a witness is
examined as to former escapades
which have nothing to do with the
case a verdict obtained by such
methods may be vitiated by the higher
courts. This declaration against the
needless bullying and insults directed
by cross examiners against witnesses
will be received with profound admra-
ton and approval by the general
public. If courts generally will act
upon it by protecting witnesses from
gratuitous and unnecessary black
guardism much good will result.

lished by bribery and it seems to
be doing its level best to make its
record tally with the methods that
called it into existence. One OF the
judges has already jumped into
trouble with both feet, and acts
like that member of the House who
declared that he had lost his head.
After the Law and Order Society
had convicted a score Of women for
keeping disorderly houses i'll Phila-
delphia, the judge came TO their
rescue and discharged them. He
had legal right to do this because
the committing magistrate had neg
lected to keep record of the testi-
mony by which they were con-
victed, but the maudlin sentiment
Of sympathy for what he termed
'the poor creatures" who are
known to have grown rich by their
neiarious business. which has been
winked at by the officers of the
law, puts the judge in very un-
enviable position and in his des-
perate efforts in squirming to get
out he has wriggled himself deeper
into the mire. He says that the
men who frequent these houses
ought to be punished as well as the
women. Any reasonable person
will admit this, but the men were
not on trial at this time, and be-
sides. the judges action arouses
the suspicion that the greatest pun
ishment that could be inflicted on
several we'll known men in the
Quaker City would be to keep these
women for time in seclusion.
wAsHBURN NOT ENDORSED.
The Republicans Of Crawford
county have not yet reached that
plane OF total depravity which
would make them willing to en-
dorse a traitor, even if their party
did derive some doubtful advan-
tage from his treachery. 1t is said
that many Of the prominent Re-
publicans of the county make no
concealment of their contempt for
Washburn, and the scheme to have
his course endorsed at their meet
ing last week was as brazen q piece
of impudence as his purchase Of a
house with the price of his perfdy
and settling down to live among
those who despise him for the same
reason that the world despises
Judas.
DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS OPEN.
Chairman Greasy, with his clerk,
Col. James Sweeney, are to be
found these hot days at the head
quarters in this city, looking after
the details of the coming Demo-
cratic State Convention, which
promises to be large, enthusiastic
and harmonious. There seems to
be but one feeling among the Dem
ocrats Of the state, and that is to
do all that is possible to redeem the
state government from the evil
hands into which it has fallen. No
favorite sons are being pushed as
candidates, either for the Office of
treasurer or judge of the supreme
court, the concensus of opinion be-
ing that the convention will select
the men who will best represent the
party, and in case of election best
serve the state.

PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.

4 prominent Southern man said in
Washington the other day that intoxi-
eating liquors are used in more mode
ration now than ever before. That
while it is true that the number Of
total abstaincrs is gradually diminish
ing, so also Il; the number OF drunk
ards. That IS our observation also.
Men seem to be learning, as civiliza-
ton advances, how to drink within
moderation, and not to make beasts
Of themselves. There are several rea-
sons for this. The drunkard is no
longer tolerated, either in business cir
cles or social circles. This is Il work
ing age, an age of sharp competition,
an age of intelligent activities, and
The man who gets along must have his
wits about him, must keep his head
clear and his brain in good working
order. But il he drinks whiskey to
excess and impairs his vitality and
beclouds his brain, he is sure to lose
in the race. ard all sensible men now
recognize the fact Moreover, the man
who gives employment to others Is
very careful not to select drunkardS-
He knows that the fellow who gets
on an occasional spree is unreliable
and usually lays down on INN, as
tie shop-term goes, at time When his
services are most needed. The great
corporations of the country, especially
the railroad corporations, will not
WIN
drink to excess, because such men are
not fit for the work which they are
called upon to do. This. we say, has
had a great restraining influence and
has made sobriety a necessity OF bus
mess life.
Nor is the drunkard tolerated in the
social circle. The man who goes to
a private entertainment ana gets
drunk makes scandal. and il he does
not reform his ways he will soon IND
himself I social outcast. The world
does not say that n man shall not
drink. 1t is not Il rule Of business nor
of society that 4 man shall be total
abstainer. but it is the rule IN busl-
less and it is fast becoming The rue
in decent society that men shall not
drink 10 intoNication, that they shall
NOT make beasts of themselves.
Herein is the true solution Oh the
liouor problem, so called. II men ana
women will only control their appe-
,ites and use i'll moderation the soou
things of life which a kind Creator
has given them, whether these De
meat or drink, the tribe OF giuttons
aud wine bibbers will soon have pass
oa away and there will be no liquor
problem TO solve.
