Temporary suggests that the route
marked out by the Fourth Of July Com
mittse for the procession is not entirely
satisf.ctory. Well. to read it. it does
seem little antiquatsd. We believe it
il precisely the same ~ that marked out
during the var times. The town has
grown to great extent since then, and
ve think little extension and variation
of the route which 10 20 familiar to old
residents would be in order. II 10 the
old reiterated order, this mp Carson

Minnesota; down Minnesota to King;
down King to Carson; up Carson to

to Second; mp Second to Ormsby; down
Ormsby to Sixth; along Sixth 70 Carson;
up Carson to Proctor, ut which place the
procession will DO dismissed"

Trials Of a Prison Convict.

NEARLY nine years ago a man named
Moses Wheeler was sentenced to the State
Prison for the crime of arson. The evil
dence against him was conclusive.
Wheeler, however, protested his limo
cence, and declared that the testimony
against him was conspiracy to get rid of
him, on account of few dollars that were
in dispute. He also was prepared to
prove an alibi, but for some unknown
reason his witnesses were not called by
the Government, and Wheeler was COM
pelleu to go into State Prison. Not quite
a year ago woman, the wife of the man
who was instrumental in getting Wheeler
into prison, the husband of the woman
having died in the meantime, confessed
on her bed, in the town of Wakefield, that
Wheeler was innocent of the charge upon
which he had been convicted. During the
eight years in which the man had been
imprisoned he had endeavored to obtain
pardon, the authorities having been quite
satisfied that he was innocent. 1t was
upon this woman's testimony, more than
any ln1AiS clSt, llIdt uS Wis convicted. M
mediately following the death bed con
fession, which was duly made before
Justice of the Peace, poor Wheeler was
pardoned. And now he comes before the
Legislature and asks the State to reim-
burse him in the sum Of $4,000, the
amount which he would probably have
earned had he lived as free man. The
committee on the subject, while admitting
the justice of the petition, have given
Wheeler "leave to withdraw on the
ground that the payment of such a sum to
him, under the circumstances, would
establish an expensive precedent y
Wheeler is not tie first citizen OF the
State who has done Z" time'' at Charles
town upon perjured evidence. Wheeler
feels the stigma of State Prison life cling
ing to him, yet he has no means ofredress.
His present motto is, " God Save the State
OF Massachusetts" And still hundreds
of guilty wretches are allowed to go free

EIOped With a Richer Girl.

DURING the winter Brooklyn miss OF
fourteen years, named Frazier, has been
visiting Oil City relatives, who board
with family named Whitfield, South
Side. Miss Frazier is an orphan, de-
scribed as comely and intelligent, though
still wearing dresses Of length becoming
to one of her years. When she will have
attained her majority, she will inherit
money and property to the extent of $50
900. In the family with whom she and
her friends board is a son, aged twenty
four, who, after learning of her circum-
stances, and having the inside track as it
were, won the affections of the child
heiress, planned an elopement and mar
rage, which was clandestinely cOnsum-
mated last week. 1t is needless to say
that the friends of Miss Frazier are much
grleved at the denOuement, and attach
blame to themselves for not exercising a
closer surveillance over their young Wis
itOr, whose head was turned by the words
and pleasing address of her witty sutton,
who was engaged to a Miss Rivers, the
day of the nuptials having been fixed, and
the tr0usseau OF the expectant bride made.
Miss Rivers, learning that Whitfield had
played her false, turned pale, placed her
hand on her left side, closed her eyes,
and fell in a swoon. Very romantic. But
she has recovered-will not pine away
and die; on the contrary she has an
nounced her intention to bring a suit for
damages, and will no doubt exert herself
to make furnace on earth for Whitfield.
That he is unprincipled is illustrated in
his treatment of Miss Rivers, and that he
is shrewd calculator may be inferred
from the hand that he played with Mrs.
Whitfield nee Miss Frazier TStuscille

a Spunky Woman.

The Des Moines Iowa) State Register Of
a recent date contains the following spicy
communication from woman in reply to
an advertisement previously published by
her husband:
" hereby certify that - lied, and he
knew it, when he said I left his house
with my three little children, without any
provocation. AS consider (and think
others would if they knew the TRUTH,
had great many provocations. All l
ask of him is to pay his just debts and
not wrong people out Of their just dues,
and leave me and my children alone, and
pay me my Government pension that he
has used ten years (being $500 and in
terest on it for half the time he has used
it, and my furniture that took there /
will risk getting my sugar without calling
on my friends to help hunt what has been
put away for the sick babe. Twill further
say that [ can make as good living for
myself and three little ones as we had
with -, although he would have peo-
pie believe that | was a great expense to
him. confess he got me two ten-cent
calico dresses within three years. think
it will keep him busy to gather up enough
of his neighbors' hogs to keep himself
and his two children; however, it don't
take much of such pork to do me. Will
say that through his scowling, pouting
and complaining, quit drinking coffee
six years ago; but he continued chewing,
smoking, and using his coffee as usual.
Then, last fall, he openly forbade my
using tea. [ suppose tobacco and coffee
had raised in price. The whole trouble
arose from his wanting my share Of my
first husbands estate without giving any
thing to show that he had ever received
anything from said estate. He did not
get it, nor won't"
