The Ryle & Mccormick Company
received on Friday from New York
city dealer the award OF the contract
for construction of a monument to the
late Caesar Young of New York city.

actress who is accused of his murder,
was released by New YORK justice
on Thursday last, under bail CT 500, =
900.
The monument, which is one of
several that the firm has under con-
tract, is OF elaborate design The
approach to the lot is made by broad
curving granite steps surmounted on
either side by large vases and this APP
proach is further ornamented finely bv
carved markers. The monument it,
self consists of a rock faced pedestal
surrounded by broken column and a
female figure typifying "oorrow. "
The base is five feet square and the
height of the entire monument is nine
feet. On the broken column is a clus-
ter of heavily carved roses, and at its
base is the figure, "Sorrow,' prone
against it with head resting on one
hand while the other is thrown over
the column and holds a cluster of
roses. The base, figure and column
will be made from one piece of stone
and will weigh twenty tons when CON-
pleted.
Another monument that this firm
has under contract, for the same New
York dealer, consists of pedestal of
rustic finish tha5 is cut into three
steps, on the front, on the upper of
which stands Memory, as typified
by female figure. Back of the figure,
on top of the pedestal is a broken col.
umn that stands seven feet high.
Memory bears in her hand a bunch
of roses and palm branch is curved
around the column. Two more mon.
uments are spire that stands twenty
seven Ieet, three inches high, with "a
carved die, and plaster monument
fourteen feet four inches high, that
bears beautifully carved frieze be-
tween the die and the cap and has an
urn three feet high on its top. This
last piece of work will be executed in
dark granite, the others are all of
light stone.
A force of seventy five men is now
employed in the shed and large
double cylinder, Ingersoll -Seargent
air compressor. with an electric motor
directly attached, is just being in
stalled The motor is of thirty horse
power type. This new plant will be
the largest in any shed in this city or
Barre. Business through the granite |
sheds is generally good.

Democrats, living and dead, TO join
us in our labor for success.
1--WE appeal to every Democrat from
everywhere TO forget the bitter warfare
of the past: forget the strife and anger
of the older, other days; abandon all
the grudge and rancor of party discon-
tent. and, recalling with ever-increasing
pride, the triumphs of our 30 years of
constitutional government of liberty
and peace-here and now resolve to
make the future record that re-
splendent reach of time in which liberty
and peace went up and down the nations
of the earth. building their kingdom
in the hearts of men and gathering the
harvest Of genius and toll: in which rea
son struck from the hand of force the
sword of hate and plucked from the
heart of war the germ of greed; in
which conscience smote the thoughts
of wrong and filled the mind with
mercy's sweet restraint; in which
power grew in the human brain, but
refused the shelter Of a glittering
crown: in which the people of all lands
and tongues, awakened to hope by the
inspiration of our example, followed
with the march of years the luminous
pathway leading to a destiny beyond
the reach of vision and within the
providence of God. In this spirit New
York dominates for President of the

COSTS NOTHING UNLESS CURED
A Fair Offer Made byH. Pierce

A Fair Offer Made by FL. G. Pierce
to All Sufferers from Catarrh.
H. G. Pierce is selling Hyomei on
plan that has caused considerable talk
amongst his customers.
The plan is different from that fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the
remedy itself is different also. This
treatment for the cure of catarrh has
such an unusual record of cures to it's
credit that II. @. Pierce offers to
refund the money if it does not give
the desired benefit. This is certainly
one of the fairest offers that can be
made and any one who has cauarrh
and does not take advantage of it is
doing himself or herself an injustice.
Do not suffer any longer with tick
ling, smarting, burning, eye-watering
troubles that aff1ict those who have
catarrh. Hyomei will cure you, but
if you should not find it adapted to
your case, H. G. Pierce will return
your money.

In order 70 have the ceremony of
making them man and wife performed
they were obliged to 90 to Fort Gibson,
which is thi.ty-fve miles distant. The
road from Cookson to that place is very
lonely, and for a stretch Of fifteen miles
over the mountains.
Blackie drove his pony team e;ayly
for several miles, but when they got
into the mountains he noticed that two
mountain lions were in pursuit. He
urged his ponies forward, hoping to
outstrip the beasts.
In the hurry and excitement o. the
morning Blackie Cookson had forgotten
his pistol and had no weapon Of any
kind, with the exception Of q small
pocketknife. Safety could only be Sc
cured by outrunning the beasts, and
that was a forlorn hope, as the genuine
mountain lion is noted for his speed
and endurance. However. It afforded
the only chance Of escape, and BlacHe
urged the ponies, who, however, Ne
quired little urging, being wild from
terror, up the steep incline Of the noun
tain. Behind them occasional howls,
gradually growing nearer and nearer,
could be heard, and when they reached
the crest Of the mountain and looked
back they could see savage beasts
scarcely 200 yards behind and gaining
upon them with fearful rapidity.
Realizing that escape for both wss
utterly impossible, the young Italian de-
termined to sacrifice lis life in order to
preserve that Of his intended, bride,
and, gradually slowing down the team
when the level top Of the mountain
was gained, he turned to her who, half
dead from terror, sat motionless and
with white unspeaking lips by his side
Gazing sadly and tenderly into her pal
lid face, he bent down and kissed her
in silence; then as the descent on the
farther side Of the mountain was near"
~ reached he gently put the guiding
lines into her nerveless hands; then,
rising to his feet, he drew and opened
his pocketknife. Again turning his
eyes backward, he saw that his pur-
suers were less than ten yards behind
the buggy.
For one brief moment Teecy reme1n-
bers hearing the short, sharp swapping
of fangs. the ferocious, angry growls Of
the fierce animals and high above all
the fierce war whoop of her lover. Then
a merciful Inconsistencies stole over
her, and she tainted. The ponies, re-
leased from a guiding hand, took the
road down the mountain at breakneck
speed while she lay motioniess. Fortu-
nately the way, though steep, IS not
rough, and the buggy did not upset.
The team continued on its mad fight
until it reached the dwelling Of Dr..
AIilroy, a distance Of seven miles. The
doctor succeeded in stopping the team
and rescuing poor Teecy, who was In a
pitiable condition.
A rescue party was organized as soon
as she was able to falter out her fear

them upon reaching the scene Of the
tragedy. Elackie's body, mangled al
most beyond recognition, was still
warm, but life was quite extinct Both
lions were lying near him quite dead.
