A. jury iias heard all that he grown had- to offer is evidence against her, and it has acquitted her: The Judge'e charge seemed to indicate that ,he at least does not share the jury's Opinion. Her ordeal has been a severe one, and even if her coescience is clear she must have suffered untold :mental agony. Should she secure a third partner in life she may well pray that he may outlive her, or that otherwise there shall be no element of doubt as to the Cats° of his taking off. ` President McKinley is said to be delighted with the attitude: of Britain . _ 'in this war excitement:, He ,should be; and so should the _ whole 'United States. The fact becomes more evi- dent daily that had it. not been for Britain's influence in Europe and her friendship for the United States, the Republic would have been long ag compelled tocall off its dogsof war, an t e war fever which has been let out of its system in this little encounter with a fourth -rate power, would have driven Uncle Sam into rash defiance of Europe, or broken out in some dire way at home.

The blow which Mr. McCarthy re ceived on the -side through being thrown against a telegraph pole has reeulted, it ie thought, in broken parts of the ribs penetrating the ;ungs, and scute pneumonia has set in. It is this wound talit the doctors fear more than the one received on the head, and- the chances of recovery are considered very doubtful. The patient remains in a semi conscious state, and there is a physician in almost constant attend- ance at his bedside. -.Just as we go to press we are sorry to learn that Mr. D'Alton Mc- Carthy has died from the effects of his injuries.

After a lingering illness endured with Christian fortitude and with the assurance that death to her physical body but meant transition to life ever- lasting. Miss Catherine McDonald, of Laggan Farm, passed peacefully to the great beyond early last Sunday morning, aged 33 years. The deceas- ed hes been in most delicate health for a lcng .time, and the sorrowful occurrence did not come altogether unexpected. Nevertheless, this does not relieve the pangs of sorrow of her aged parents and bereaved brothers, all of whom have a most extonded range of sincere syinpathy, the family being among the oldest and most re- spected of the district. Miss McDonald, though naturally of a retired and quiet, unassuming nature, had many warm friends in Virden and around her home, many of whom showed their sorrow by placing wreaths upon the cotlin. The funeral was probably the largest ever seen in the district, 120 rigs being in the cor- tege of friends assembled to pay their besides a large number who easel:Xi last tribute of respect to the de at te home. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Currie, of Was wanesa, an old and favorite pastor of the deceesed, Among the friends and relative present from a distance were Mr, A. McDonald, Regina; A. Potter, Bran- don; W. Meerill, Mr. and Mrs. Morri- son, Pipestone; H. McDonald, Winni- peg; and a humberlrom Oak Lake and Elkh3rn.
