cast and openly to the whole world, full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering into the composition of his widely
celebrated medicines. Thus he has taken
his numerous patrons and patients into

moved his medicines from among secret
nOstrums of doubtful merits, and made
them I-c,nedits Of knOun Composition.
BY this bold step DR.. Pierce has shown
that his formulas are of such excellence
that he is not afraid to subject them to
the fullest scrutiny.

.FRACAS AT INDIAN CAMP

On the night of April 30th a good sized
row occurred at the Indian camp on
Bridge street and in the mix-up an In
dian known as George Penrose was
pretty badly carved up, receiving seven
knife wounds, which may yet cause his
death. The morning after the trouble
a white man named Robert lilly and a
Washoe Indian were arrested and charged
with the crime. They will have hear
ing before Justice Carter today. The
Indian who was cut is in bad fix but
may pull through, as he has consented
to have the care of physician.

Boston, Dec. 2. ~ An insane man
walked into the ante-room Of the en-
ecutive chamber of the state house
yesterday and finding Gov. Guilds
door closed turned on three prominent
labor leaders and fired three shots at
them, probably fatally wounded Ed
ward Cohen OF Lynn, president of the

Dennis d. Driscoll Of Boston, secretary
of the same board, and injuring with
the muzzle OF his revolver Arthur M.

The insane man. who was John A.
Steele OF Everett, and who was re-
leased on parole last month from the
Danvers insane asylum, was overpow-
cred by Private Secretary Charles s.

Cohen was shot twice through the
head and was in critical condition
at the Massachusetts general hospital
last night The third bullet struck
Driscoll . glancing blow on the side OF
the forehead and rendered him uncon-

half AM hour late. Huddeli,s. wound
was quickly dressed and will probably
cause him little Inconvenience.
The three labor leaders came to the
state house yesterday to meet the gov
ernor by appointment. The governor
was receiving delegation and the
three labor men were asked to wait in

New York, Dec. 6-There will be no

court, and that they could afford to

was willing to dispense with the sort

No Appeal From Decision.
From the procedure in the test suit
against William Hammerstein OF the
Victoria theater there can be no APP
peal directly to the appellate division
from the decision Of Justice O'GoA
man, but there is legal means, new
ertheless, of having his opinion re-

confidence, however, that the puhMc

laws application, or, if necessary, OBJ
tain at the approaching legislature an
amendment to the law itself.

Goldfield, New, Dec. despite the
suppressed excitement. among the
miners over the ordering of troops

every way, refraining from disturbing
the situation even on the quiet. They

totally unprepared for the latest coup
Citizens fear that the miners may
make some demonstration, inflamed
