A Putila Attempt to Shoot a Schoolmas
ter Escape of the Assailant
Madison, .Wis., May 7. A dispatch
from Avoca, Wis., states that Charles
Wilkins, a graduate of the State Univer
sity, and teacher of the public school at
that place, on Friday evening, in company
with a friend, while walking down the
street, was approached by George
Carver, with a shot gun in his hand, who
told Wilkins's friend to step aside as he
intended to shoot WTilkins. The friend
obeyed the order, and Carver raised the
gun to his face and fired. Wilkins drop
ping to the erouud, however, in time to
escape injury. Friends of both parties
rushed in and secured Carver before he
could fire a second barrel. He was placed
in the calaboose, but ho succeeded in cut
ting a hole through the roof and escaped.
No trace can be had of him. The cause of
the shooting was that Wilkins had severely
punished a daughter of Carver, a beauti
ful young girl ot 14 'years old. The
citizens, while freely condemning Carver
for attempting to take the life of Wilkins,
censure the latter for harsh treatment of
his scholars.

TO ALL, PAKTICULAEY INVALIDS.
Spring Is a trying season. Indicatiuns of sick
ness should at once be attended to. Fatal diseases
may be caused by allowing the bowels to become
constipated and the system to remain in a disor
dered condition, rntil the disorder has time to de
vBloniiself. An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, is an old and truthful saying.
Therefore, we advise all who are troubled with the
eomplaints now very prevalent -headache, Indiges
tion, disordered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or
feverish skin, to take, without delay, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy so harm
less and decisive in its action. It at once strikes
at the root of the disease and produces a healthy
tone to the system. People never need suffer from
any disease arising from a disordered condition of
the liver if they would take this cxcellant medicine
vhen they feel the fi'tt indications of the malady.
Families leaving home for the summer months
should take three or fonr boxes of these pills with
them. They have an almost inetaneous effect.
They will rcliev the patient of headache in one or
t hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of
snTounding bile, and will effectually prevent a
bilious attack. They are sold by all Druggist.

for tUe Servant Girls of the
Southern Hotel.
A theatrical entertainment was given in
St. Louis, after the Southern Hotel fire,
for the benefit of the poor servant girls
who lost their clothes by that fire, which
netted some $2,000. The Catholic
priests subscribed $300, also. Many of
the girls lost nearly all their clothes and
haye been wearing borrowed clothes since
1 the fire. The fund was distributed under
tW direction of the police board Police
Com'r Basil Duke, treasurer ot the fund;
Mr. Gavin, secretary; Capt. Chas. P.
Warner, of tho hotel firm; Mrs. Lowry,
housekeeper, and Mrs Gilmore, laundress.
The arrangement was that those women
who were aged, or had f amilies of children
dependent upon them, or who had been
long in the house and had lost the little
savings of years, should be placed in the
first class to receive $45 each. The second
class comprised the younger girls, who
were able at any time to care for them
selves. They received $32.50 each. The
third class included a small number of
girls who had recently left the hDtel, or
who for some reason were not in the house
at the time of the fire, but whose baggage
and clothing had been lost. They were
given from $5 to $25 each. The house
keeper and laundress, who have given
much time and trouble since the fire to
the task of obtaining information regarding
the scattered girls, were given $55 each.
These sums are of great service to the poor
girls in procuring comfortable clothing.

8.A. representative of the G. A.R.
appeared before the new city council this
evening and requested an appropriation of
money to assist the lodge in paying the

action was taken on the petition. The
council acted wisely n thus refusing to
vote any money to a political organization.
While there is, and should be. a feeling of
profuund respect for the sentiment that
actuates the decorating of the graves of
the heroic dead, there should ever live
feeling ot contempt for any organization
that sanctioned the vandalism of plowing
up the graves ot the confederate dead ou

cause, were brave men, and were.

The G. A. R. has always been the em
bodiment of hatred and prejudice and num
bers among its members the extreme par
tin element of the Republican party
that element which cries aloud for mood,
engenders sectional feeling and seeks to
keep alive the feeling of hate, which, but
for the opposition of such as the G. A. R.
would long since have been forgotten and
the country to day been far advanced in
unity ot teeling and enterprise. It is time
that prejudices were thrown aside and it
cannot be accomplished sooner than refus
ing encouragement to all such political or
ganizations as the G. A. R.
