MIR. Jacob Wagner caught his foot, yes
| terday, in one of the breaches of the walk
passing the Budd property to Louis ALPS, and
was thrown to the ground considerably hurt.
| He will be lame for week or two. This is
one of the walks, much needed, that we asked
the attention of the village fathers 10 some
| time ago.
| The young ladies of the Hurricane will
| give an entertainment consisting of declama>
| tions, rectations and an oyster supper, at the
| Church, on the evening of the 9th instant,
for the benefit of the Rev. @. w. L. Brown.
| Price of admission for entertainment and
supper so cents Everybody invited
Among the contributors to the Fair to be
held this afternoon and evening at The CongFe-
gational church, are Mrs. VIM. Mccartney,
| Mrs. VIM. elise and Miss Luella elise, of
| Denver, Colorado, and Mrs. Lew. Holloway,
of Winthrop, Iowa, who also is the bearer of
contributions by Miss Carrie Collins and Mrs.
| Brown, of Iowa.
As might have been expected gentlemen
| who have been receiving certain Greenback
papers, supposing they were sent gratuitously
| by friends of the cause, are now receiving no.
| tees that certain sums are due and to please
pay up. Those papers were sent to men Of
whom the amounts are supposed to be collect
able and it is generally understood that if
man take papers out ofthe Office he is obliged
| to pay for them whether he subscribed for
| for them or not. We do not know that this
point has ever received judicial test, but we
doubt whether it is correct. All of us ought
| to know by this time that whoever attempts
to succeed in business by other ways than
honest ways, by other means than persistent,
hard work; whoever will not enter into sue
cess by the door, but climbs up some other
| way, the same is thief and robber, and we
| ought not be put off guard by his tricks
and be fooled into contributing to his success.
The ladies who are managing the Congre-
gational fair which comes off this evening,
wish everybody to know that they will have
good supper and that it will be ready at o.
clock and will continue ready for several hours
| People can save that much at home for one
| evening, in work and provisions and pay lit
tie mite for a supper prepared by great
many good looking cooks In this instance
they need not fear the old saying that too
many cooks spoil the BROTH
| -Driesbach, the lion-tamer is remembered
by many people of Grant county. He died
| last week in Ohio, where he was engaged in
farming. He was the most celebrated of 'li-
on-tamers." His biography was once put in
form for book publication by a pre- tentious
man of of this county, who sued him for $500
to pay for it. If properly written it would
be filled with many readable anecdotes such
as the one the papers are now repeating that,
in Chicago after q fight in cage with tiger
he was taken out covered with blood and ap.
parently dreadfully injured. The audience
were Mortified and shrieked until physician
announced that his wounds were not danger
GUS For a fortnight Driesbach appeared
| with his arm in sling and his face covered
with strips of plaster. But the wounds were
imaginary. The gore had come from a sponge
filed with rose-pink. 1t was as clever piece
of advertising as Barnum could devise. His
old acquaintance in this county where his
family formerly resided will we believe re-
member him with feelings Of respect. lie died
| at the age fro.
