at Mrs. Bells house had created pub.
lie scandal, and that In consequence of
it one gentleman, Mr.. Hazlehurst, had
said that he would take his family to
Fargo to church if Wainwright was
allowed to hold divine service.
Mr.. Hazlehurst's testimony showed
that this story was an invention of
Major Reno that In fact. Major Reno
had told him that he thought he
should not permit Wainwright to
hold services there, and that there.
upon HaZlehurst had said that in the
event he would take his family to
Fargo to church. In the course of
the same conversation Major Reno, in
demonstrating with Mr.. Wainwright,
said that his staying at Mrs. Bells
would do her no harm that she was a
spoiled egg," and warned him that his
own reputation, the cause of religion
and the good of the church, required
that he should leave her house, and
he gave the names of Captain Ben
teen. Lieutenant Wallace. and another
who is now dead, as authority for in
furious reflections upon her character.
These officers both testified that they
had never made any such statements,
and one of them being recalled fol
cr0ss'examination, said he did moi
recollect ever having mentioned the
name of Mrs. Bell in any conversation
with Major Reno. The fifth and sixth
specifications relate to the above facts
The seventh alleges that Major Reno
said to Lieutenant Wallace that Mrs
Bell had better cease fighting him, that
her character was vulnerable, and he
could easily blast it. Preparations
were being made at the fort for a
Sunday service to be conducted by
Mr.. Wainwright. Mrs. Bell was to
play the organ, her own instrument,
and on New Years eve party of off
icers and their wives were assembled
at her house to practice for the oc
casion. Major Reno sent his post ad
jutant to her house to notify the com
pany that they might take the organ
to the church and it might be played
but that Mrs. Bell should not play or
it, and if she attempted to do so hi
would stop the services.
The general !opinion is that Major
Reno will be found guilty and dis
missed from the service. The tria
has concluded but the finding will bt
kept secret until promulgated through
the War Department.

Some startling revelations in
life insurance were made yesteI-
day by a witness before Referee
Butler, examining the Contiuen-
tails affairs. He swore thaa he
had for years served as an agent
for the company that he received
$4,000 year and expenses for
travelling South and West and
buying up the policies of the
company at a fraction of their
value; that he understood that it
was for the personal benefits of
the officers, and the President
went with him; that the usual
method of proceeding, according
to instructions, was to go to a
policy-holder and tell him that
the company was bankrupt, and
induce him to surrender his pol
Icy for an inadequate considera-
ton; that he bought up policies
to the amount of 81, 100000, and
got $500, 900, besides transferred
to the Southern Life, of Memphis,
which failed six months after
wards; that the President and a
few others formed a ring, who
divided between them the money
made; and that this process 'Is
termed wrecking, and there are
a great many kinds of wrecking,
such as sweating, buldozing, freez-
ing out int'madating," DC. Wit
ness said he received for his bull
doing services in California So
900 per annum and $4,000 or
commissions, and that the Presi-
dent had ga little book for private
accounts" which he was not per-
mitted to see.-Graphic.

The following from the EldOrado
Times applies to every county in
the State about as well as to But
tier:
During recent trip down the
Walnut Valley, we could not but
notice the hundreds of farmers
who leave their farm machinery
exposed to the weather to rot and
rust.
1t is strange that those who are
considered careful and confederate
farmers and good financiers will
SO neglect their farm implements.
"Rust consumes more than lab
or wears" said Ben Franklin, and
this saying is especially appl;ca-
BILE in this case. Our farmers
buy much of their machinery on
time and complain bitterly of the
heavy interest they are compelled
to pay, yet leave their machinery
exposed to the weather, injured
in one winter many times the
amount OF interest they pay on
balances they owe for it.
We saw, on our trip, headers
that must have cost three or four
hundred dollars, standing unpro
tectec. Drills, plows, cultivators,
harrows, hay rakes and wagons
stood with only the Canopy of
Heaven" for q cover. Reapers
and mowers in many cases stood
where their work was finished.
Some farmers have from eight
to fifteen hundred dollars worth
of machinery. From $50 to 500
would build shed that would
house it all and keep it new, bright,
and in condition to use when
wanted. Those farmers who can
not do better can build sheds of
straw at the cost only of a little
labor. Two or three days work
will build sheds which will protect
machinery fer years, saving not
only time but money. The vex-
atom eacaped in the use of rusty
tools alone, will more than pay
the cost of labor and money.
Our farmers lose more every
year from their unprotected ma
chinery than would pay off all
the mortgages in the county and
We cannot too strongly urge the
necessity of talking care Of their
