whiskey-crazed man. The maniac's

and several lodgers, occupies a house
in the rear of the Norwegian church.
"When the sheriff reached the scene
he found Johnson stalking- about the
halls, armed with a shotgun, and
threatening to kill any and everybody,
with first choice for tho Salvatio'n
Army man. Some little persuasion on
the part of the officer induced Johnson
to give up the shotgun. Following
this surrender, Mrs. Johnson, the
man's wife, and several of the room
ers came out of hiding and begged the
sheriff notio arrest him. As none of
them would make a charge against the
man, the officer had to content him
self with capturing the gun and return
ing to town. An examination showed
that both barrels of the weapon were
loaded.

DELIGHTFUL SOCIAL DABDE.

THE I'ERSOXS IX ATTEXHAXCE.
One of those "select socials which
are occasionally given here by the
devotees of Terpsichore took place
last evening at Liberty hall, and was
largely attended by a fashionable
company. Several more, however,
were prevented from attending, in
consequence of a progressive euchre
party at the residence of H. G. Smith.
Amid the many beautiful ladies
present were several in very elegant
and attractive toilettes, and most of
tho gentlemen were arrayed in the
conventional evening attire, so that it
was somewhat of a dressy affair.
The floor was of icy smooth
ness, and to the entraucing strains of
classic music artistically rendered by
Geo. H. Parsons' orchestra of Port
land, the dancing, of course, on such a
floor, and with such glorious music,
could not be otherwise than of. the
most agreeable character. Tho enter
tainment was prolonged until one
o'clock this morning, there being
twenty dances on the program.
Lieutenant W. A. Sherman was
floor manager and as he fully under
stands the business it is needless to
say he did it well. W. E. Tallent and
E. G. Bogers were tho committee of ar
rangements and that the affair was in
every way a success proves that they
faithfully performed their duty.
Those present were the follewing:
Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Heilborn, Mr.
and Mrs. W. T. Chutter, Mr. and Mrs.

A. A. Jordan, champion hurdler of
America, and holder or the American
record for running 120 yards over 3 feet
Cinch hurdles, says:
"J havo for a great many years used
Allcock's Por.ous Plasteks. partic
ularly during the training season. I
find that if 1 am affected in back or
loins with any kind of a pain or strain,
that Ailcock's Por.ous Plasters" in
stantly afford relief. For pains in the
body, the result of a severe cold, nothing
can beat Alixock's Plasters. I
would certainly recommend the plasters
to any athlete who is suffering with
soreness or stiffness while in training."
