NOTES.

Mr.. D. S. Kennedy has been engaged
to teach at Wilmot for another year.
Mr.. G. K. Maynard will teach at Union
Grove another year; this will make
his third year at the Grove.
The closing exercises of the Wilmot
schools were fine. The teachers and
pupils deserve much credit for the
taste displayed in making the selec-
lions. Some Of the recitations brought
tears to eyes somewhat unused to
them. The pupils Of the upper de-
partments presented Mr.. Kennedy a
copy of Whittier's poems, and the pri-
mary pupils made Miss Mizelle q preg-
ent OF two beautiful vases.
The Superintendent left home Tues
day afternoon to attend the State
Teachers Association at Madison.
The Superintendent meeting, which
took place Wednesday afternoon. was.
to him, the most interesting part IF
the programme. Right here we will
say that those Superintendent meet
ings do not last long enough. Instead
OF q half day, there ought to be a two
days session. Nothing can be settled
in the short time that is allowed for the
The Annual Institute, conducted bv
Prof. Salisbury, will open September
9th, and continue two weeks. We
hope that every teacher in the county
will attend.

Il LEGEND OH' The KLINE.
HE WAITED, BUT TOO LoNe-A BRO
KEN HEART AND A CREEPING
VINE.
Once upon a time there lived beside
the Rhine a beautiful young lady. She
had lover who loved her, and whom
she loved in return. But, after he had
woed her-not one year, but three
he asked her to marry him; and she,
anxious to show her power, merely an
swered:
" Wait"
/ have waited three years. he said,
but at your bidding, l will wait one
more-just one more"
Then he went away and became a
soldier, and praise to his bravery filed
the land; but the lady was piqued by
the thought that he had been able to
leave her for even a year, and when he
returned she determined to punish
him, though all the while She loved
him well.
He knelt at her feet, and took her
hands in his, and said:
Lady, I have come back to claim
you for my wife"
wait longer; a patient waiter is
not loser"
q will wait two years longer he
said, calmly. If do not lose all is
we'll"
Then he left her again. She had
hoped he would plead for her, and that
she would be forced to change her
mind; but now he was gone-gone for
two long years. How she lived through
them she could not tell; but they
passed, and again her lover was before
her.
II have waited patiently" was all
he said.
The lady yearned to cast herself into
his arms, but pride was strong within
her.
Wait longer" she said.
mo" he answered. This is the
last time. If I wait now / will wait
forever"
At this she drew back haughtily.
"Then wait forever" she said coIdlv.
He left her without word. And
now her heart sank in her bosom. She
wept bitter tears, and repented in dust
and ashes. When year had gone by,
she could bear her woe no longer, and
sent her little foot-page to her old low
Or, bidding him to bear this message,
Come back to me"
But the message the little foot-page
Brought was just this: Wait.
Again she was left to her sorrow,

lie stood before his lady and dotted his
cap, and repeated the message that
had been given him: "The patient
waiter is not loser"
He is Furnishing me-" thought the
lady, and for two years longer She re-
manned in her castle. Her heart was
breaking health failed-she knew
death was near.
Again she sent her cruel lover a
message.
!" Tell him, she said, that / am near
my end, and that if I wait longer be-
fore | see him / shall wait forever"
The page returned, and stood beside
MS lady's chair. His eyes were full of
tears; his head was bent upon his
breast; he sighed and hid his face in
his plumed cap.
The lady lifted her wan face,
"Speakp she said. THE messager'

said the lady. AT last 1 have received
all my own answers back"
In little while she died, and thew
buried her in the old churchyard, with
a stone at her head and a stone at her
feet.
When spring came there was grass
upon the grave, and there also was a
new plant strange to those who looked
upon it; plant with dark, glossy
leaves that crept slowly but surely
along, clutching fast to every rough
surface it met.
There had never been a plant like
that on earth before. Now we call it
the Ivy, but this is what those who
saw it for the first time said of it:
1t is the lady whom her lover babe
to wait forever. In this form she is
creeping toward his castle slowly but
surely. SO she will creep on until she
the heart she threw away"
Generations have passed from earth.
The castle is a ruin, covered with ivy,
and the peasants will tell you that it
has crept there from the lady's grave,
point by point, over stone and rock,
the graveyard and over gates
and fences. You can trace it if you
choose, they say, but you do not try.

ANTELOPE HUNT IN DAKOTA


ALEXANDRIA, ID. T., July 8, 1880.
Hunting the antelope is considered
one Of the sports of this part Of Dakota
Being long-limbed and feet-footed, il
is not an easy matter to run them
down, as many have found who have
tried it; but the prospect of getting
fresh antelope meat, than which there
is no better eating, stimulates many a
Dakota bachelor to hunt them.
The other day Messrs. Petrie and
Brande, havinga little leisure, took a
stroll over their claims, Petrie taking
a single-barrel shotgun. On reaching
the east side of Petrie's claim, they
spied large male antelope quietly
grazing. Brande waved large red
handkerchief in the air to attract his
attention, while Petrie crept around
on the other side and fred at long
range. The buckshOt struck the
ground near him, but failed to take
effect. The antelope ran a few steps,
then stopped again. Finding that he
was disposed to be so tame, the bows
went back after ammunition and soon
came back reinforced by Harvey
Tymeson and Frank Butler, having
two shotguns loaded with buckshot.
and two revolvers.
Two Of the boys tied red handker-
chiefs over their hats, thinking to ex-
cite the antelope's curiosity and get
him to come within range, but it was
no 60. They now tried surrounding
him, and all got on different sides.
First he came near Brande, who, not
thinking him within range, did not
fire. Then he ran near Frank Butler,
who sent two revolver shots at him.
He ran quarter of a mile farther and
Butler headed him off and again fred.
this time with a shotgun, but did not
get him, and he ran half a mile or so
farther. At this junction Petrie and
Tymcson came up and all four of the
party then closed up from different
sides and surrounded the antelope in
a lake bed, Tymeson then sent two
charges Of buckshot from his double
barrel shotgun. Again the antelope
tried to escape, but was again headed
of and stopped little over four rods
free Petrie, who was just behind a
small knoll. 1t was a splendid chance.
Petrie stood up and aiming just over
the knoll fred the last shot. A mo-
ment the antelope stood, then stagger-
ed, then fell. With loud Whoop, each
man rushed to the spot, and Tymeson,
drawing a large pocket knife, cut the
animals throat, and the game was
ours.
Then the party sent up such a shout
you would have thought twas the In
dams. Two of the boys watched the
game and the other two went for a
team. and we brought the antelope
home. He was beauty, as large as a
large sheep, but with longer body and
legs and beautiful horns; would weigh
from 80 to 175 Tbs. When dressed.
cut up and sailed down, we had four
jars Of the best kind of meat.
Thus ended the first successful ante
lope hunt of the Kenosha county bows
in Dakota.

Jack rabbit for breakfast?"

SOMERS.

| The weather continues showery
lon the whole, less water has faller
than in weeks previous, but enough tt
prevent tillage of hoed crops most Of
the time.
Last week few commenced having
and this week it will be general. The
weather, in addition, has become op-
pressively hot since Friday last. Their
mometer SO to SO for hours at time.
So far as noticed, grass is not heavy,
with here and there an exception.
The rust has appeared on the blades
OF wheat, and in some instances oats.
AS yet no serious injury is appre-
hended.
Rye is harvested mostly; it is said
TO be good crop. Some barley will
be fit to cut this week.
The picnic last Monday in Levi
Flnk's woods was a success. Notwith-
standing the rain of the previous
night and the threatening appearance
OF the clouds on the morning of that
day, large number Of persons were
present. Ample provision was made
by the ladies for the occasion, A
good meal was furnished to adults for
25 cents; children ID cents. Ice cream
and lemonade extra. Receipts: gross,
$120; net. sos.
The funeral of Squire johnson was
fully attended. Rev. P. Dougherty
conducted the services. His Oldest
son, from Iowa, was summoned and
was present. His death was sudden,
and being accidental was a surprise to
his friends and neighbors. He being
subject to attacks of dizziness, it is
surmised as probably the cause Of the
fall. Consciousness was perfect until
the evening of the day before his
death.
On Saturday last as John Mitchell,
whilst riding a sulky rake, was cross
ing the railroad track, his horse start
ed, throwing him in front of the teeth
and dragging him some distance. He
was somewhat shocked and bruised
about the head and face. He is able
to be around, as / learn.
Victoria and Phoebe Bishop are gone
north on a visit to sisters and friends.
Miss Hattie Spence is. seen among
us again on her return from Colorado.

cine Journal as to what it knows of

law in this county, as its
remarks Of last week imply a doubt
of that law being enforced. | can
give a few instances in this town, but
presume you or Sup't Mahoney can
give results for the county, he having
already spoken of its working in the

Those insured in the Town Mutual
Company have received notices Of an

Another fire has occurred, it is said, in
the woods on what was the Shiel place,

The assessment on the former is said
to be ~ mills on the dollar valuation.

That there has been no educational
for the past two weeks is not the fault
of the editor. The week before last
the educational was mailed on Tues
day morning, and we do not know why
it did not appear Last week we
thought that the report of the Wilmot
schools would be educational enough.

The Phoebe Record has the following:
By private letter received from Silver
Reef we learn that a man, name unknown,
was killed near Silver Reef, Utah, by J. W
Pollard and J. B. Stephens. 1t appears
that the man was a friend Of Pollard's,
who got Stephens to make him Q pair OF
boots, becoming security for the same.
The man left town on the blackboard
without settling for the boots, and upon
Pollard and Stephens learning this they
followed after and caught up to him and
demanded payment. The man stated that
he had no money, but that they could have
the boots back il they wished; whereupon
Pollard shot him, and Stephens put q pis-
toll to the mans head and shot, scattering
his brains in every direction. We did not
learn what had been done in tie matter.
Later-The man killed was named William
Hilburn, and the ARRAY occurred at Kirby's
ranch, two miles from the Reef, on the 4th
Of July. Pollard commenced to abuse
and shot at Hilburn, when both men
clinched, Hilburn getting the best Of Pol
lard, then Stephens going up to the COM
batants, wound up the difficulty as above
stated. Hilburn is pretty much of a blk,
but he had no show for his life. Stephens
is in Jail at st. George.

A Corrupt congressman.
From the Virginia Chronicle.l

When James A. Garfield was Chairman
Of the House Committee OF Appropriations
he accepted $1,000 from a lobbyist to use
his ~''influence" with the Board of Public
Works Of the District OF Columbia to give
a contract to the De Golyer paving ring.
The men who gave Garfield the IS, 900
bride cleaned up with s400. 900 on their
job.
Those who are attempting to white-wash
Garfield, now that he is Q Presidential cam
didate. assert that II was for legitimate
services as . lawyer that he received this
90, 1000 'sfee."
In the subsequent Investigation Of the
case Garfield admitted that he made no
argument for the contractors, oral or writ
ten, before the Board Of Public Works.
No legal services were needed. In his
position of Chairman Of the Committee on
Appropriations he had to pass upon the
appropriation Of the money which would
pay the De Golyer ring. That was why
his services were wanted, and hat was
why he was given the $5, 900 bride.
These are not mere assertions. The
records Of Congress and Of the courts Of
Cook county, Illinois, furnish the proofs
Of 0Ardsld's guilt.

PIrHY POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS

The Detroit Free Press says: Garfield
needs a barl-of whitewash.
George William Curtis is sorry, the New
Haven Register asserts, that Mr.. Bayard
was not nominated. Republicans are all
sorry that somebody else was not nomi-
mated.
The Atlanta Constitution says There
are enough of the original Hancock men
in this section to make standing-room
scarce in any hall. He greets you on every
corner.
A long pull, q strong pull and a pull
altogether will fetch Illinois to the Democ.
racy, the st. Louis Times declares, with .
majority Of 10000 for Hancock and for
Trumbull in November.
The Ohio Democratic State ticket is yet
to be nominated. By the nomination Of
Hancock, Ohio, the Cincinnati Enquirer
alleges, is become debatable ground. Let
the State ticket be a strong one.
The Republican press, remarks the
Rochester Herald, does not merit very
brilliant success in training its batteries
on General Hancock. Indeed, they are
rather complimentary than otherwise.
The Utica Observer says: Pennsylvania
has twenty-nine electoral votes. Hayes got
them in 1876 by II. 900 majority. A change
Of 5000 voters will give them to Hancock
in 1880. But the change viii probably be
bigger than that.

Sheriff HIPS Accounts.

Virginia Chronicle: Sheriff Lloyd Hill
returned to Carson last night, and his ap-
pearance had the effect Of allaying the
fears Of his creditors and bondsmen. Mr..
Hill ives the county and other creditors
about 50, 500, which he says he will pay in
full. The cause of the SherifTs embar-
rassment may be looked for in loans made
to parties who have failed to keep their
promises to him. While in this city, Mr..
Hill stated that he had loaned money to
several persons here who had agreed to re-
turn it at stipulated times, but had wholly
failed to keep their promises, and had
placed him in a very unpleasant position.

WARD ITEMS.

| The Reflections Of q Week as Re.
nected I'm the Reflex of last Sat.
urday.
Charley wisel informs us that q new
channel has been struck in Osceola, near
Jack Irvine's water tunnel, which is thought
to be the source Of all the gold in Osceola,
and on which himself and others have To-
Gated 100 acres Of placer ground, and in
corporated it under the name Of the cold
Channel Mining Company" Work has
been commenced, and IL the ~locators are
backed by correct conclusions they will
more than realize the extravagant dreams
Of the old 49ers. All the placers below the
point named are spotted-pays we'll in
places, while in others they are compare
lively barren. The place where they are
at work is between two distinct formations,
and it is not improbable that the mother
vein that many have searched for may be
found there while working the p~lacers.
Mr.. Wisel says, from some cause unknown
to him, the mill in Osceola is doing better
work than for some time past.
One thousand head Of cattle, purchased
by E. ]. Travis at the Sheriff sale in White
River Valley last week, passed up Steptoe
Valley on the way to the railroad Thurs
day. They are to be taken to Colorado.
A number Of Republicans. as black as
they make them, have in our hearing ex-
pressed their intention Of voting for Han
cock, but we have yet to hear Of a single
Democrat who proposes voting for Gar
field.
Horace D. Beene, who returned from
Silver Canyon Thursday, informs us that
nearly all the machinery for the mill has
arrived, and that the grading for the same
is about completed.
Twenty-Five tons OF freight for the Mar
tin White Company, drawn by . 20-mule
team, arrived on the 4th from Eureka.
The Main Tunnel is now in spar and
pyrites Of iron.
