SHOT AT EARLY DAWN l DRUGGIST MAY DIE Was Discovered in the Barn Of a We'll Known Man in the Outskirts
 Of WilliamstoWn WAS COMMANDED ID HALT Tried to Escape and Was Shot t- There is Considerable Mystery
 About the Affair.

Williamstown, Vt, July Erred Ainsworth, 60 years old and a promi- nent resident of this village, was mis- taken for burglar and probably fa- tally wounded early to-day by Thom- as Jamison, who found Ainsworth in his barn on the outskirts of the vil- age. Jamison had not been arrested, but 1t is expected that he will be if Ainsworth dies. The attending sur geons have announced that the wounded man cannot recover. The police are investigating several pecu- liar features in connection with the shooting and thus far they have been unable to learn why Ainsworth was in Jamison's barn during the early morning hours. Jamison saw light and taking his rifle, investigated. Calling out that he would shoot, Jamison demanded the surrender of the intruder. A man rushed out, att tempting to escape. Jamison fired. The man dropped with bullet in his intestines. Jamison went to him and recognized Ainsworth, who Is the yil- lage druggist. Doctors were called and the injured man was carried to his home, where an unsuccessful op- eration to locate the bullet was per formed. The doctors announce that the patient could scarcely survive the day.
 It was found that Ainsworth had wl..l him in the barn lighted lan- tern and a piece of heavy rope. It was thought at first that he carried the rope for the purpose of hanging himself, but investigations have fail- ed to show any reason why the drug gist should commit suicide.

THE EMPEROR WILL RULE WITH IRON HAND He Has Publicly Directed Grand Duke Nicholas to Stop the Disorders
 Among tho Troops HARD TASK AHEAD 0F HIM The Tempered Regiments of the Guard Have Caught the
 Fever of Unrest.

St Petersburg, July 5.-Emperor Nicholas has taken the almost unpre- cedented step of publicly directing Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, commander of the forces in the mili- tary district of St Petersburg, to in vestigate and take measures to stop the disorders" among the troops. Ac- companying these instructions were orders relieving Prince Vassilchikoff, commander of the guard corps, from duty and dismissing in disgrace Gen Ozeroff, commander of the First Guard division, and Gen Gadon, com. mander of the Preobrajensky regiment the first battalion of which was re- gently disgraced for exposing sym pathy with parliament and protesting against doing police duty. Gadon is said to be descendant of an Ameri- can named Gordon, the name having been Russlanized by lapse of time.
 All attempts to purge the army of the spirit of disloyalty now that it has invaded the pampered regiments of the guard will, however, probably prove futile. No isolation of the troops will any longer suffice to prevent the spread of the contagion. While the majority of the troops probably are still faithful the undermining of the military supports of the government is proceeding very rapidly. The revo. lutionists are rejoicing at the success of what they regard as being the final phase of the work of preparing for the coming revolution.
 A further extension of the agrarian disorders, accompanied by the burn- ing of manor house, Is reported to- day from the provinces of Penza, Kamenets-P Podolsk. and Poltava and the districts of Bogoroditsk and At karsk. The Zemstvo of the provinces of Tula is bankrupt owin gto the re- fusal of the peasants to pay their taxes. The members of the group of toll In parliament are secretly elaboratiEg a plan to force matters to head. As the first step they propose that the lower house adopt a resolution 6eclar- ing the country is not bound to pay It's obligations to the government so long as the emperor refuses to yield to the demands of parliament. If the democrats decline to join them in the program of repudia- tion the group of toll propose to issue a manifesto to the. country. Their purpose plaipl, Is to compel the gov ernment to attempt to dissolve parlia- ment and thus force rupture.
 The issues of five newspapers in this city were confiscated last night. Over two hundred papers in the inter. for were seized during the last fort night.

Letter to Phoenix Drug Company,

Letter to Phoenix Drug Company,
Aberdeen, Mss.
Dear Sirs: We suspect you'd like
the tale, how a woman beat two hard
ware dealers in Girard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those men
men to sell Devoe lead-and-zinc in
that bright town; and failed. Reluc-
family took Mrs. E. r. ROwman, drug
gist.
They said they couldn't sell paint
for more than $1.25 a gallon. Mrs.
Bowman can. She has sold about all
the paint that has been sold there
since.
She knew Devoe; had sold our art
lists materials. Had some sense and
force, besides; she easily learned that
cheap is dear in paint, and told the
people.
Mr. Burt Young bought a gallon De-
voc for rooms that had always taken
a gallon of other paint; had half left.
Mr. E II Hiler, jeweler, painted De-
voc, and says it goes further-no par
ticulars.
Mr. John Hanna, grocer, thought it
expensive before he bought it; brought
back nearly half of his paint, and
said it was cheapest job he ever had.
Mrs Bowman reports universal sat
isfaction. So much for a cheap-paint
town with bright woman id it.
