A WALKING Club.

A walking club has been formed by
several ladies in Lewistown and par
ties of fair pedestriennes can be seen
returning from long walks in the sub
urbs of the city glowing from the re-
suits of the healthful exercise recon-
mended both by ancient and modern
ages.
The officers Of the organization are
as follows: Mrs. Bright, president;
Mrs. War;. secretary. and Miss Pee.
bles. time keeper. II has been ascer
tanned from most reliable sources
that the ladies intend to use the race

Maiden Poltoffice.

Samuel Hurvitch. the Gilt Edge
postmaster. while In town last week
stated that he was receiving the Mai
den mail at the Gilt Edge Office ow-
ing to the discontinuance of the office
at Maiden.
This is surely a deplorable state
of affairs and it is to be hoped that
/. will soon be remedied. It has been
a~scertained that a petition has been
forwarded to Washington asking that
Ed. Boardman be appointed to are
for the Maiden mails and as Mr..
Boardman has signifed his intention
of properly caring for the same it is
believed that the request will be
granted by the department.
The office in question is not a pay
ing proposition, as 1t is only a cancel.
lation office with a evenue which has
never exceeded 500 per month, and
1t consequently has not been much
sought after. Mr.. Boardman owns a
store in conjunction with Wick
Langdow and intends to make a new
departure in postoffice affairs in Mai
den.

FROM SINNERS SISTER.
A Pathetic Letter Received by the
Sheriff Last Week.

A very pathetic epistle was received
at the sheriff's office last week from
Mrs. Lucy Ann Barnett Of Thompson,
Washington City, Wis, in which she
states that she had heard rumors to
the effect that one Michael SINNERS
had been killed in this vicinity and
asked to be furnished with particu-
lars of the affair.
Mrs. Barnett wrote that she had a
brother out here by that name and
only hoped that what she had heard
was not true, as she could not imag.
inc what he could have done to be
killed in so cruel a manner. The
Michael SINNERS she writes of was
evidently held in much esteem by his
friends and relatives back in Wiscon.
sin and they were waiting in sus.
pense for news from Lewistown. 1t
is feared that the Mike SINNERS kill
ed at Kendall is the person inquired
for in so ~solicitous a manner, as it
has already been a~scertained that the
unfortunate mans birth place was in
Wisconsin.
A copy of the ARGUS containingthe
report of the coroner's jury was i'm
mediately forwarded to Mrs. Barnett
by Undersheriff Slater, though no
farther information has been receiv.
ed on the subject.
