PROBABLY FATALLY INJURED.
Stephen Croker Shot While Terroriz-
ing Two Women.

New London dispatch under date of
September "a says that Stephen NJ Croker,
a member Of well-known New London
family, is at the Medical Hospital in seri-
Gus condition as a result of a pistol shot
received while he was terrorizing the fam
lily of George Bindless at their home in this
city at an early hour this morning. Late
last night Croker went 10 the Bindless
house, and when the door was opened in
response to his ring he pushed past the
servant ard met Mrs. Endless anu her
daughter, Miss Stella BinGiess.
Their refusal to speak to him angered
him, and for several hours he had them in
a state of terror.
Mrs. Bindless about o'clock this morn
ing, went to her husbands room and Sc
cured his revolver to protect herself. AS
she came down the stairs she saw Croker
beating her daughter, and in her nervous
ness the revolver, which she held in her
hand, went off. The bullet did not strike
Croker, but the shot distracted his at
tention from the girl, and he turned on
Mrs Bindless. In struggling with her for
possession of the weapon it was exploded
again, and the bullet entered his body in
fia'i~ wound that probably will cause
his death.

DETECTIVES AT WORK.
Stone Thrown at a Train Severely In
iured Passenger.

Detectives in the service of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company are
making an investigation of a slight injury
recently inflicted upon a passenger who was
riding on one of the company's trains
short distance south of Alexandria Satur-
day afternoon. The passenger was Mrs.
r. L. Bunnell of Baltimore who was in
jured about the left side of her face by
stone thrown at the train. There was a
child seated next to Mrs Bunnell and the
little one narrowly escaped being hurt by
fragments of the broken window.
& The train was on its way toward this
city and was running at fairly rapid rate
of speed when the passengers in coach 1854
were startled by the crashing of glass. Mrs.
Bunnell left her seat as soon as her face
had been injured and complaint was made
to the conductor of the train,
There was not much the conductor could
do when he heard of the incident The
train had gone some distance from where
the stone had been thrown and he reported
the affair to the proper officials when his
train reached here. Then the superjntend-
ent of the railroad detective service was
notified. He detailed two men on the case
and the latter are endeavoring to find the
person who threw the stone
The stone throwing occurred near the
railroad junction. less than two miles from
Alexandria. 1t is stated the railroad COM
pany has been annoyed in the same way
at this point several times.

BIG FIGHT IN CHURCH.
Police Used Clubs and Pistols
Freely.

A dispatch from Adams, Mass, last
night says that a long-standing disagree
ment between 300 parishioners of ST.
Stanislaus' (Polish) Church there and the
pastor, Rev. M. F. Kopythiewicz Gull
minated today in a riot at the church
doors during high mass Stones were
thrown and the police were obliged to
draw their revolvers before peace was re-
stored.
The dissatisfied parishioners marched to
the church in a body and attempted to
dfsplace the regular collectors with col
lectors of their own. Chief of Police Cur
ran and several officers, who had been
summoned were forced to draw their
clubs to dispense the crowd
The parishioners met the action of the
police by throwing stones, and two of
the officers were struck, but not badly In
5ured. The police then drew their revolv-
ers and overawed the crowd, who retired
q short distance. The police made six ar
rests. While the officers were taking their
prisoners to the station the crowd went
back and entered the church. The police
returned shortly with achievements,
and by freely using their clubs drove the
invaders from the building.
The trouble in the church developed last
month over the financial condition of the
parish.

William ]. Lachner has returned
from Salem where he attended the or
ganization of the State Tax commits
sion, says the Baker City Herald.
In speaking Of the future work OF
| the commission Mr.. Lachner said
that the board had a great deal Of
work before it in the way of perfect
ing their plans and arranging some
sort of a system in which to begin the
work. Everything as yet is of course
new and 1t will take several weeks to
inquire into the methods used by the
commissions Of other states in COM
piling the data and material for their
report.
The law requires that the commits
sion shall have their report ready be-
fore July /, 1906. The secretary of
the commission has been Instructed
to procure the tax codes of other
states with the proceedings of the tax
commissions, and any other matter
obtainable, relating TO the subject,
that may be of use to the commission.
Particular attention Will be devoted
to the tax laws of New York, Penn
sylvania. Massachusetts, Michigan.
Illinois and Minnesota. On account
of this the board will not hold any
meeting until these books have been
received. Mr.. Lachner stated that the
next meeting would occur some time
toward the end of July or the first
of August. Portland was selected as
the next meeting place. as this was
the most convenient for the majority
of the board.
At the meeting in Salem, Seabrook
and Mulkey. the other members Of
the commission. were appointed to
draft a set of rules governing the
procedure and administration of the
work of the commission. in order that
when the board next meets they may
have some definite plan to go by and
provide for a systematic investiga-
ton.
In regard to the assessment of real
property, personal property. railroads,
express. telephone and telegraph COM
panies. inheritances. franchises. cor
porations. in the matter of making as
sessments. collecting taxes, etc, Mr.
Lachner said that all these would be
given the fullest and most careful ex-
animation.
Citizens Of the state will be permit
ted to come before the commission at
any of their meetings and express
their views upon the subjects under
consideration and suggestions by them

OSTEOPATHY.
Headquarters at the Spine.


In almost every case of disease the
original cause is some interference
with the nerves. So the 0steopath
devotes most of his attention to the
spine, where the chances of interfer-
ence with the nerves are greatest.
Slight misplacements of parts OF the
spine. vertebrae, are very common;
much more so than is generally
known. Indeed careful examination
of a great number of persons will re-
veal that there are very few perfect
spines. Ifthe slip of the spine be at
a place where the nerves go to the
stomach, or is in the region where the
nerves originate that control the
blood to the stomach. the nerves in
question are certain to be pinched,
irritated or strained. And the s,om-
ach, with its blood and nerve supply
interfered with, is certain to lag in
its work Just so with any other or
gan in which like interferences may
take place, Correcting these slight
displacements is what osteopathy Is.

ST. Paul, Mimi. June 19.--The ad-
jutant general hnd milItia Officers OF
many states are gathering IN ST. Paul
for the annual convention os the In
terstate National Guard association.
The conrentinn will b. in session three
days and from all indications will be
of great interest and importance to
those Interested in the affairs Of the

One OF the most imnurtant ques-

the maintenance of the national
guard of the several states from ST.
600, 900 to 100000 Members of
the national association maintain that
an increase in the appropriation is
necessary to put the guard in good

by congress two years ago, the ma
tional guard is made the second
means of defense Of the United States,
ranking next to the regular army,
and in conformity with its important
standing it is deemed necessary that

speech in the dominion house OF
commons:
I'VE are informed that each OF
these provinces will comprise no less
an area than 275,00O square miles
The mind of man almost fails to grasI
the significance, the vastness, the
greatness of the figures. We can only
family do SO by comparison, and
may be permitted to say that each OF
these provinces will be nearly siS
times as large as the great state OF
New York, with its population of T.
100000; each of them will be five
times as great in point of area as the
large state of Illinois, with its popula-
ton OF 5,000,0O0; each will be six
times as large as the state of Penn
sylvania, with a population of &c.
100000; each of them will be sever
times as large as the state of Indiana,
with its population of 100000.
I'm point of fact each of them is
larger in area than the states of Mas
sachusetts, New York, Illinois. Iowa,
Maine. Michigan, Delaware and New
Jersey all combined together. Each
of them is twice as large as England,
Wales. Scotland and Ireland, with
their immense population of $4,000
900 people: each of them is much
greater than the German empire in
Europe. with its population of 55.-
$50, ,000; each of them is much greater
than the republic of France in Eur
ope, with its population of $4,000, 600.

kind we are enabled to realize the
immensity of the heritage which we
as Canadians have in our great north
