ceau The proceeds from the range were
$153.50. Messrs. Boucher, Descoteau
and ]. Labranche treated the spectators

tied much applause. The amount realized
in all was 5000.

Curious Conditions Changed by Quiet

When jaded by the cares and worries
OF this lite, when filed with a spirit of
unrest, the best thing imaginable for the
afflicted to do is to HE himself to new
scenes-to the primeval wids. in that
part Of New England known as the fish.
ing regions, there to enjoy a period of
absolute quiet.
The enjoyment, the complete retire
ment in which one finds himself, is the
best health restOrer you can find. The
manipulation of hooks. nets and lines,
the sight oil a big, wary fish, anxious for
tuSsle, and the excitement attending
the landing OF one of these fue fellows,
will drive away the blues, and every
moment of the spring vacation is one Of
intense enjoyment.
The regions, or sections, which offer
| allurements to the early fisherman are
several, but the most prominent and con.
spicuous are the Moosehead and Range
ley regions, though many sportsmen pre-.
er the AlIegash region or the territory in
Washington County, Maine, while
Others single out Lake Winnipesaukee or
Memphremagog, or Sunapee or Cham
PLAIN, or, perhaps, some one of the
streams or lakes OF the Adirondacks is
the choice for the spring sport.
The Boston & Maine Railroad reaches
every section in which spring fishing is a
predominant feature, and the pamphlet
Fishing and Hunting" gotten out by
its General Passenger Department, whose
offices are in Boston, Mass, is chockful
OF interesting information which every
sportsman should read, and two cent

Visitor from Kansas.

George H. Fullington, a Lamoille
County boy till 20 years of age, with his
brother Frederick of Cambridge, made
the town and their relatives a visit
Monday and Tuesday of this week.
George H. has been of Central Kansas
for 35 years, and having been "diligent
in business" has won results in domestic,
financial and political lines. At the
republican convention in his district
10000 opulation-last fall he had every
vote for state senator. His offer of a
large subscription 20 the campaign fund
for local purposes, provided the conven-
ton would excuse him and turn him
loose" was instantly rejected. The dis
trict had been carried by the populists,
with democratic alliance, for II consecu-
tive years, with varying but large aver
age majorities. The district was enti-
tied to but one senator.
Mr.. Fullngton says that Kansas was
largely indebted to the east for effective
stump speakers, chief among them being
Gov. Roosevelt. The night before cleo.
ton his success was claimed by the
republican committee by Is majority.
The next dav showed 338.
OF Mrs. Nation he says that although
there are flies in the ointment" she
has helped along the cause of good gov
eminent and sober living both in and
beyond the state of Kansas.

Our PhiIippine Army.

After a careful consideration of the
situation in the Philippines as it exists
today, the administration has decid d
to reduce the army in the islands to 40
600 men. The opinion prevails that
this number will be ample tor the present
needs of the service in the islands, and, if
conditions continne to improve in the
satisfactory manner that has been
shown in the past few months, the force
may be reduced still further. The expec-
tation of the war department is that all
the volunteers now in the Philippines
will have left the islands by the end Of
June, leaving onl y the regulars on duty
there. Following the departure of vol
unteers will come the regulars who were
sent to Manila in 1898, just after the
outbreak of hostilitles, and their move
ment home will continue until the force
is reduced to pproximately 40, 900 men.

Murder and Suicide End the
Lives Of Two lovers.
BODIES FOUND IN VACANT SLACK.
Louis sureh and Ada Taylor Are Par.
tIe.psats In . rrsgsdy-rhs Girl
is Dead. snd the Young msr
suii Living.

O'CLOCK Sheriff Barr was nOllhed
that a murder and suicide had
probably taken place in a vacant
shack about 800 yards south OF
the city reservoir. Sheriff Barr,
accompanied by UndersheriH Stew
ard. Marshal Zickefoose and the
TRIBUNE man left Immediately for
the scene OF the tragedy and xdis-
covered the bodies OF LouiG A.
Burch and Ada S. Taylor iying
side by side in small frame build-
ing south of the city reservoir.
The woman had probably been
dead for several hours, but. the
young man still had the breath of
life in him. He was UNCONSCIOUS,
but there is not the least po1dible
chance of his recovery.
j From the position OF the bodies
it is probable that Burch Killed
the woman and then endeavdred
to end his own life. The bodies
were lying side by side, the left
arm Of Burch encircling the deck
of the girl, and his left hand
clasping hers. The girl was shot
through the right temple, ahe
bullet coming out at the base Of
the brain, and probably died in.
stantlX. Burch .ahots himssl ip
the head just above the right ear,
and although still alive at the
present writing cannot possibly
survive.
/ The young man and young
woman had been lovers for some
time past, and had declared their
intention of getting married, which
was very much opposed by the
father OF Burch. Miss Taylor had
been in the employ Of Mrs. w. A..
Hart as a domestic, and as the
families are adjoining neighbors
the young people were together a
lgreat deal, to such an extent even
that the young lady was compelled
to take up her residence with the
Burch family when the latter was
quarantined on account of small
pox.
The last seen OF the young cou-
pie was about 9 o'clock at the
Burch residence by the father, who
says that he supposed they were
"hguring," as both were writing
at the time. That the tragedy was
premeditated is evident from two
notes left by the young couple
They left small package on the
front porch Of Mr.. Hart's resi-
dence last Monday night, which
contained q gold watch, SJ.Io in
money and a few small articles.
Attached to the package was q
note addressed to Mrs. Hart,
which read as follows:

Edgefsld, Oct, %. A very
prominent man of Edgetield coun-
'ty told n's this morning on tho
street that he thought General
Hampton could bsat any man in

seat. After hearing this express
sion of opinion l think / can safsly
say that Edgsield county nomi
mates the grand old Roman for the
United States senate, because his
election will conciliats tho feeling
Of discord that the late political
and social revolution brought
about as natural consequence.
Sc it behooves the ether aspirants
for Senator McLaurin's seat and
for the senator himself to step
aside and lot Gen. Hampton take
his seat. His national and State
reputation would of ltself add
lustrs and dignity to his seat in
the senate. Age cannot be used
against him because there are two
or three men in the senate now as
old as the general and they com,
mand great respect and WELD
much strength. + refer to Gen.
Morgan and Judge Pettus, both
of Alabama. Edgefeld did q
great deal to elect Hampton in
years gone by and would say
further that she did more than
any other county in South Caro-
Ina to elect him in 1876, and l
feel that she will do 1t again if be
will only allow his name to 20
