Money to be Made.

It is {said that dull times are not known by the agents for the great publishing house of George Stinson Co., of Portland, Me. The reason of this exceptional success is found in the fact that they always give the public that which is keenly appreciated and at prices that all can afford. At present we understand their agents are doing wonderfully well on several new lines. They need many more agents in all parts of the country. Those who need profitable work should apply at ojace. Women do as welWs men. Experience is not necessary, tor Messrs. Stinson & Co. undertake to show all who are willing to work, not hard but earnestly, the path to large success. It should be remembered that an agent can do a handsome business without being away from home over night. Another advantage—it costs nothing to give the business a trial, and an agent caa devote all his time, or only his spare moments to it. Stinson & Co. guarantee grand success to all who engage and follow simple and plain directions that they give. We have not space to explain all here, but full particulars will be sent free to those who address the firm their full address is given above.

An Astonishing Outrage.

ST. LOOTS, Dec. 8—A most bold and brutal outrage was committed in this city yesterday afternoon in broad day light. Mrs. John W. Gutting was alone in the house of her husband, when two men of disreputable appearance drove to the door and asked for admission. The lady suspected nothing and allowed them to enter, when they overpowered her and threatening her life carried her from the house, placed her the buggy,, which was standing at the curb, and drove to a secluded place in the southern suburbs of the city and repeatedly outraged her. No other particulars of the crime are known at present, except that the two men were arrested. Mr. Gutting is a clerk in the probate court and the affair has caused great excitement.

The men arrested are Thos. Cunningham and Wm. Mahr. They are peddlers. They were found drunk. Mahr accuses Cunningham. Mrs. Gutting was enciente and is in a precarious condition. It is feared she will not survive.

An Investigation of the^ Matter Has Revealed.

It is a very serious matter to charge schools boy with being, incidentally, the cause of the death of their playmate, but it is, nevertheless, true that a school boy died one day last week from the rough treatment received at the hands of his playmates. A GAZETTE reporter called at the residence of Mrs. W. S. Mahan on Second avenue west of Lafayette street this morning and obtained in substance the following deplorable facts:

About three weeks ago Mrs. Ida Clements, of Adriat), Minn., with her three small children, came here on a visit to her mother, Mrs. Mahan, intending to spend the winter. On Monday, Nov. 14th, Lyle, the 8-year old son of Mrs. Clements, started to school at the Seventh ward school in company

Mr. Clement received a telegram Wednesday night,the first he knew of his child's sickness ana death. The funeral occurred Sunday. I Dr. Thompson says that congestion of I the whole system resulted from the exposure in the rain. The child's extreme nervous temperament somewhat prevented his recovery. The friends of

Mrs Mahan are considerably exercised over the affair and there will, probably be some trouble before it is over. They insist on Mrs. Clements prosecuting the boys.

The grand jury is said to be investigating the matter. Judge Mack said today that be had sent for the schoolchildren and examined them yesterday. No arrests have yet been made.

COAL CONVENTION-

A Meeting to Arbitrate and Conciliate Held at Indianapolis. J. R. Kendall has returned from Indianapolis, where he attended a joint

meeting at the Bates House yesterday of a conciliating and arbitrating committee composed of four operators and four miners from each of the following states: Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiaua and Illinois. The question of the thickness of coal and soale was argued, but it was decided that the matter had been settled last May at Pittsburg and that the meeting had no authority to take action in the matter. On motion of the.miners the matter was allowed to go over to the meeting at Columbus on the 15th of February.

In the meantime the Pittsburg scale will be lived up to and local differences will be adjusted as far as possible.

This Does Settle it.

The experiment has not been a success and notioe was posted in November that on and after December 1st he would pay by the ton.

It was raining and he was made to walk through the water and was not allowed on the sidewalk. They threw' him down in the water. When he arrived home his clothes were saturated- His wet clothes were removed, but he had already taken his "death of cold." He was chilled through and through. The next few djays he was not able to leave the house and suffered from the cold taken. He ate but little and on Friday began to get v^prse. Saturday night he was unconscious and Sunday Dr. Thompson was called to attend him. On Monday the child suffered great pain and his screams could be heard by the neighbors. He was delirious Monday and Tuesday and his cries were pitiful. He implored his mother to keep off the boys and not let them throw him down. He was delirious for two days and frequently would wake up and imagine the boys were after him. He was in great agony for three days. He had three spasms on Wednesday and in the evening at 7:20 he died. In his very pretty and intelligent prayer he said. "Oh, God, forgive those boys tbat did Hie this injury."
