A Former fiillssrove Woman Shot.

The Elmira Gazette of August 2,
says: At 6:30 O'Clock this morning
Orlando Tong sent two bullits
through his Wife's head as she law
in her bed at their home in Horse
heads. Tong then shot himself in
the right ear and fell to the floor
unconscious.
The story is one of a miserable
life which the couple have lived for
years, the result of Incidence and
intemperance of the head of the
house.
Yesterday morning the would-be
murderer went to work on the Meth
odist church at Horseheads, which is
being remode!ed. At noon the task
proved too great for him and he left
the JOB and went back to his old
haunts. 1t is not known that he

the crime.
Last night the family ret. d as
usual. Shortly after 6 o'cloc'; this
morning Iva, aged fifteen years, and
Weldy, aged seventeen, heard the
cries of their mother, followed by
three shots. They rushed to the
room in time to see their father place
the muzzle of the revolv, 10 his
right ear and pull the trigger He
fell to the floor The blood flowing
profusely from an ugly wound.
An examination of the woman
showed that two of the three bullits
fired had struck her, they will not
prove fatal and she will fully recover
in a few weeks. One of the bulits
struck her on top of the head, in
tlicting scalp wound and glanced
off. The other struck behind her
right ear and lodged there. The
wound in the mans head will kill
him. lie talked considerable but
doctors say he cannot possibly live
more than day or two.
The revolver from which the shots
were fired is poor apology for
modern iirearm, its market value
being about 81 80. 1t is thirty two
Calibre bH of little value as Il weap-
on. 1t is due to this fact that the
shots did not kill instantly Fired
from good revolver both the man
and woman would have been killed
instantly by the bullits.
The woman told yesterday that
She was afraid he would kill her.
Just why he did the deed other than
natural inclination which he had
expressed for some time, is not
knewn. Before her marriage Mrs.

But you have the worst roads Lt

have less reason for bad roads than

day two men came to their camp.
They held long and earnest confer

night the man named Ben Allen went

to inform the reader that the two men
were Morris and Ned Padgett, who

why isn't he dead? For over year
he has been lost in the forest and
thought to be dead; now, why isn't
he dead?"
Lakeland little dreamed that the
very tools he was using were willing
to betray him IL they could make
more out OF it, and that they were try
ing by brides and threats to extort
from the prisoners in the cavern the
secret of the cached treasure.
After Ben left the party to fulfil his
orders they camped three weeks in
a valley.
Laura inquired why they delayed SO
long, but Lakeland had abundant ex.
cuses, and assured her they would
go on before winter set in in earnest.
Already lowering clouds had huns
over the valley and covered it with
snow.

live next door to each other in his

one day, asked if he might borrow
from the lawyer his edition of Florio's

'The physician thanked the lawyer
but of course he did not attempt to
get through so ponderous a work as
'Montaigne' in the others library. A
week passed. and the lawyer came
and asked the physician to lend him
his lawn mower.
"I am only too glad to lend you

THE RULING PASSION.

"That story about Ed. Butcher. the
noted old Iowa racehorse man, re
minds me of tale the boys used to
tell of Butcher" said Morris Lynch
the other day. Butcher was good
fellow, as the men who follow the
races go. His family were religious.
One time Butcher got sick, very sick,
in fact. His wife. fearing the end,
sent for a minister. Butcher talked to
the minister, who urged him that he
should not stay away from his God.
The road to salvation was not very
plain to Butcher. He questioned the
minister closely about what he thought
would happen if he should reform just
prior to his death.
"'Will have wings just like they
picture angels?' asked Butcher
"'You most certainly will replied
the minister.

OUR SOIL RICH IN GEMS.
Where American, Precious Stones
Have Been Found by Miners.

Where American Precious Stones
Have Been Found by Miners.
The report of the geological survey,
just compiled for 1901, shows that
during that year there were mined in
the United States precious stones to
the value of about 100000 When
talking about rare and beautiful gems
ones thoughts naturally revert to
South Africa or the orient or the
mountains of Asia or Europe, or per-
haps to South America, but one is not
likely to think of our own land yield
ing them; but the fact is, that no in
significant value in gems is taken
from the soil right here at home. The
report of the geological survey shows
that during that year we mined in
the United States precious stones to
the value of about 100000 s :.
Diamonds represent only 800 of
this amount. but the fact that they are
found at all gives encouragement to
the hope that paying fields of them
may some time be found. Last year
one diamond was found in Lee county,
Georgia, where diamonds were not be-
fore known to exist New Mexico

which come next. They come from
Fergus county. Granite county is now
being explored for fancy colored sap
phires, that give evidence Of: being
there in paying quantities. Fine and
extensive rhodo1ite garnet deposits are
found in Macon county, North Caro-
lima. Many dark green, blue and yell
low beryls, as well as amethysts and
emeralds, were found in that state.
ThereAis hardly state Of the Union
in which there is not some trace Of
precious stones and It appears not at
all unlikely that before many years
we may be competing with the Old
world in furnishing gems
