Charged With Attempt to Kill.
Physician and Farmer Said 10 Have Shot al
Woman in Her Home Through Window.

DR.. Charles w. Fisher and William
Singmaster, residents OF Lavelle, a
farming town, near Ashland, were
arrested Friday and placed under
heavy bonds to answer at court to a
charge of attempted murder preferred
by Stephen HeIvert, who alleges that
the defendants attempted to assassl-
nate him and his wife last Wednesday
evening.
The principal witness against the
defendants was Heivert. 1t is said
that bad blood has existed between
himself and DR.. Fisher for some
months past. They are neighbors.
On Wednesday evening, as Fisher
and Singmaster were passing Heiv-
ert's home, it is alleged that one OF
them drew revolver md fired through
the window at Mrs. Hevert, who was
sitting at table reading. The bullet
grazed her head, and she dropped
over on the floor in faint.
Her husband, thinking she was
dead, ran out and saw Fisher and
Singmaster passing the house. He ac-
cused them Of killing his wife, when
Singmaster turned and fired two shots
at him. He claims that DR.. Fisher
also fired at him twice, but he was
not hit.
Heivert hurried into the house and
found that his wife had revived. She
has since been in highly nervous
and hysterical condition. The bullet
that So nearly cost her her life was
found imbedded in the framework OF
the door on the opposite side OF the
room from which it entered.
Neither Fisher nor Singmaster
denied the shooting. Singmaster said
that it was Fisher who fired the shot
through the window. Fisher said that
he fired at dog and the bullet
glanced through the window
DIR. Fisher is a physician engaged
by the borough of Ashland, and had
charge of the small pox hospital main
tanned there during the past summer.

BE Wanted to Die.

Numerous reverses and Ill health
combined to reduce the spirits OF
William Umstead of Washingtonville
to such an extent that he decided to
kill himself on Friday. Unbeknown
to any one he entered the office Of
DR. Hoffa who resides near by and
securing some tablets of what he sup
posed was morphine, he dissolved
them in water and administered the
dose hypodermically. 1t was discov-
cred that the tablets were cocaine and
sufficient TO kill a dozen men. By
heroic measures the physicians saved
his life. Still undaunted in his de-
termination to end it all, he slashed
his wrist in an attempt TO sever an

Friday night and on Saturday he was
committed to the Hospital for the
Insane at Danville.

especially great when the greatest foes of
life, diseases, find allies in the very ele-

guard against these diseases is to strengthen
the system with Hoods Sarsaparlla-the

conditions in which these diseases make

The Two DromIos-This is the story Of

night at the house Of Richard Wilson

the wife Of former judge of the SUI

the others. despairing of her coming. sat
down to the table. AS they waited for
the first course to be served the atten-
ton of all was centered on the gown which
one OF the. women wore. 1t was a re-
markable dress, complicated in design,
startling but eXquisitely correct in Its
combinations of color In a word it was

vised by some Partisan modiste, and it
was regarded with all the polite interest
which could properly be subtracted from

is wont to characterize the dinners at

Just as the soup was finished the door

Discretion in Wisconsin.

A remarkable outcome of the election
In Wisconsin is that while La Toilette and
election and taxation reform have won,
John C. Spooner has also won. This re-
suit is strongly encouraging to those polit-
ical philosophers who have undying con-
fdencer that the common people can decide
political questions about as wisely as the
most learned. La Toilette and Spooner,
both beloved Of the people, are at sword s
points with each other. In the state con-
vention last July, where, of course, state
questions were of 'transcendant import
hnce, the delegates. in the enthusiasm Of
their devotion to La Toilette, logically de-
manded Of Senator Spooner that he sub
scribe to the republican state platform.
Weeks went by and the campaign
opened. but never a word of subscription
came there from Spooner. Eventually he
came home and campaigned for the state
and congressional tickets. Meanwhile La
Toilette also was touring the state and did
not hesitate to let the people know that
