Fearful Crime.
A nuniber of fearful crimes reported
last week, which presents to the public
a dark record of the moral training and
eductaion of our citizens.
Simeon Nelson, of Huron, Dakota,
shot and killed Mrs. Shaw, her son and
her sister. He also shot a man named

Crazy men generally reverse the

theso killed themselves first, there are
plenty of people who would have com
mended them.
It is a serious matter to a country to
have the criminals, paupers and lunatics
of other lands unloaded within her lwr
ders, and this our laws forbid. Not
withstanding, every once in a while
there comes up a case of violation. Tho
latest is a report that a British steamer
arrived at New York and tried to land a
hundred such people. Government in
spectors interfered, however, and pre
vented further unloading. It was found
that these people had been gathered to
gether in England from various places
and their passage to this country paid
by the British government. It has al
ways been the policy of our government
and people to welcome to theso shores
tho honest poor, who, under the inilu
enco of our freo institutions can better
their condition in every way, but it is
not right that England or any other
country should bo allowed to unload
upon us those criminals and unfortu
nates whom they themselves should caro
for.
County treasurers aro of courso falli
ble men. They are liable to mistakes.
They sometimes take money that don't
lelong to them, bnt it isn't tho common
thing. Mostly they are worthy men;
selected by their fellow-citizens to fill a
very important station, they generally
act as becomes public servants faith
fully and honorably. There are excep
tions, however; tho accounts of men,
supposed to lie all right, have been
found to be lacking; men who have gone
out of oflico with honor to themselves
are, long years afterwards, turning up as
defaulters, the books having been ex
amined and something found wrong.

lately Nance county is at work on a sup

what individual it circles, tho Headliyht

is the matter, anyway?
A water-spout west of Hooversville,
Somerset county, Pa., the other day put
their village entirely under water and
over twenty residences washed off their
foundations and deposited on tho

and cellars of their houses. At other
places the dnmage will be very heavy
from tho loss of individual property and
the washing away of a number of
bridges. Mrs. J. D. Morrell died from
heart disease, produced, it is supposed,
by tho excitement caused by waters
surrounding the house. Col. James M.
Cooper, of Coopersdale, jdso dropped
dead from over excitement.

and they have lived there since. Al
bright, when taken to prison, 6aid the
shot was intended for tho elder Curry,
whom he had never forgiven for alienat
ing his wife's affections, and on whom,
after sixteen years,he had determined to
take revenge.

transportation company derived from
goods or passengers passing into, or out
of, or through its territory. The other
decision relieves telegraph companies
from the responsibility for failure to de
liver messages passing from one state to
another so far as the laws of the state
from which the message was sent are
concerned.
The terrible accident at Meschen
ought to serve as a lesson to crowds: a

A fearful panic arose among the two
thousand spectators present and in the

With about two hours' work Satur
day afternoon, a slick stranger carried
away from this placo about $300, by sel
ling snide watches and jewelry. We
are very sorry to see this, bnt can't
think of any way to help it. When folks
get bit, as they did Saturday, and that
doesn't tend to mitigate tho swindle,
then it must be a hopeless case. This
same stranger, or another liko him, can
come into tho town next summer and
reap just such a harvest again. It is a
shame that this sum can bo jerked out
of tho community without any recom
pense whatever, when so many are hard
up and the money is needed right here.

Waliiiixtoii Letter.
I From our regular corres pom lent. 1
Tho soldiers of the National Drill
have folded their tents and marched
away to the strains of their own thrilling
music, and in consequence, tho Capital
city isnot so gay as last week, and many
of our bonny belles, with love-lorn sighs
and misty eyis, piny over the lost hopes
and opportunities for conquest of those
few Heeting days, while numbers of tho
visiting troops have been totally van
quished by tho charms of tho fair ones.
Except in a financial sense, the Drill
was quite successful. The deficit is
from $10,000 to 12,000. The managers
counted on an average attendance of
10,000, though it was 0,000 or less. Some
projose to make the Drill permanent by
having one every year, and it is hoped
the project will materialize. If there bo
another, we trust tho Confederate demo
cratic south will send liberal, progress
ive men here instead of the narrow
minded, provincial numbskulls who con
sidered themselves such superior boings
that they felt it pollution to march in
tho same military procession with the
hated though harmless "nigger." and
therefore dropped out of line.
Able financiers, with good reason, pre
dict a financial cricis when the move
ment of the present crops begin, based
upon the fact that within the past year,
the New York banks have increased
their rate from 2 per cent, to 5 per cent.,
while their reserve surplus has very
largely decreased, and also, upon the
further facts, that the immense surplus
in the Federal treasury continues to ac
cumulate, without any relief from the
burdensome taxes exacted from the peo
ple. Thu6, at tho end of two years, we
are sensibly feeling the benefits (?) to
business and public policy of a reform(?j
Democratic administration. Really,
Undo Sam is 60 seriously ill from his
nauseous dose of Democracy that it is
highly probable an extra session of Con
gress will have to bo called early next
fall to administer an antidote.
Tho recent death of Maj. Ben Porley
Poore, tho pioneer Washington newspa
per correspondent, removed a familiar
and prominent figure from the Capital.
For forty-five years he has been inti
mately associated with tho great states
men of tho country, from Clay and Cal
houn, to Blaine and Lamar ho having
l)een for twenty-two years clerk of tho
Senate Printing committee, years after
ho liecamo a leading journalist.
Decoration Day was observed with
usual eclat, tho soldiers of the Na
tional Drill acting as escort to the Grand
Army of the Republic. For the first
time, tho grave of that gallant hero and
patriot, John A. Logan he who insti
tuted this glorious day w:is buried by
loving hands in a mass of beautiful
flowers, only five months after he had
surrounded his noble soul.
There is still much speculation as to
who will fill the vacancy on the Supremo
bench. Tho place is by common consent
conceded to the south. There is but
one certainty about it, Garland, the
Cabinet member, who long sinco was
promised the first vacancy, will not" get
it, since his corrupt connection with the
Pan Electric Telephone Company has
been disclosed, for he now says ho will
not have it, which means he cannot get
it, as the President, with all his bull-dog

Francis Marak, jr.. of Everest, Kan., tho in
ventor of the appliance ref-Tnxl to, is here dis
posing of territory, and has made some sales of
counties.
Tho appliance is an ordinary drum except that
it is divided into aDaitrncnts ruuninir the lenirth
I of the drum: one of these is virtually a contin-
i nation of the pipe, when the damper is not
turned, and rnaKes a direct -droit when desired I
for Htjirtini? n fire? when the ilnmiir is fnrmd I
the partitions ore so arranged that tho heated air
and smoke go alteraat-ly upward and down
ward through all the apartments (usually five in
number, owing to the relative size of ii aud
drum) and finally up the chimney. The princi
ple is precisely tno same as that of the famous
Mennonite heating furnaces, and applied, to cook
or heating stoves, utilizes a great deal more of
tho heat evolved from the fuel than is done by
the onlinary drum. The pictures of progress
are theso:
A lire, on tho ground, under the oieii canopy
of heaven; two posts, n cross stick and tho ot
of victuals hanging over the fire.
Second, the same, only a rude wall around, and
a cone-shaped roof, with a hole in the middle
for tho smoke to curl out at.
Third, the open grate, in tho oien fire-place, a
great ortion of the heat escaping up tho chim
ney into the outer air.
Fourth, tho stove.
Fifth, the stove and drum, increasing the
amount of surface heated by the same fuel.
Sixth, the greatly improved drum, or UIHA
TOB, with a moro intense and therefore more
penetrating heat from the saino amount of fuel;
forming a reservoir for heat except a-? it escajes
through tho metallic enclosure, and wliat little
gets out through the chimney.

I have tried Francis Mank's ixitent radiator
on my cook stove anil found it to do all that he
claims. It caused tho kettle to boil and the
oven to heat, iuick,nrith one-half the fuel we
Itad been using without tho Radiator. We got
breakfast with 19 corn cobs, and tho oven was
hot enough to bake biscuits.

'I want to put this book into the

Mr. D. J. Hyneman is tho leading
grocer of Corinth, Miss. He stands as
high socially and linancially as ho does
a man of strictest integrity. Ho tells
how his little daughter was cured of
eczema. Any ono who wishes to hear
moro of tho case, can do so by address
ing tho gentleman a polito request for
tho details of tho case. Here is a letter
from Mr. Hyneman on the subject:
My little daughter had eczema some
time ago. On recommendation of a
physician, I gavo her S. S. S. At once
the effects of tho medicino made her
break out worse that she was at first,
thus driving out the disease through tho
skin. Sho is now about well, onlv a snot
here and there occasionally showing.
I regard S. S. S. as very effective in
eczema, and recommended it unhesitat
ingly to my neighbors as a splendid
blood purifier. Yours truly,
J. D. Hyneman.
