was no go. They should of had an

OAK VALLEY.

The excitement now, is the rail-
road bond question; will it be yes or
no? The correspondent from Bertha,
Todd Co., seems to think that the
Otter Tail Co. folks are very near
sighted, as regards the bonds. He
seems to think that $500, 900 would be
a very small sum for us to pay. If it
is such very small matter, if the
Todd county people will bind them
selves to pay the debt, the Otter Tail
people will no doubt vote the bonds.
If not, I am requested to say, that the
people In this county will be very
much obliged to the Todd countyites,
if they will attend to their OWN af-
:, fairs, and we will endeaVor to do the
same, And he assured. the people in
this section will do all in their power
to vote the bonds. down, as we fail to
see where the corresponding benefit"

STORY OF A DEAD MAN.
False Eyes that Led to the Detection Of 8
Murderess.

paris Corr. New York Times.)
M. Bernard, q retired bird-stuff-
er, residing at Villeconteau, In
the Jura, was found with his head
split open in his bel. The victim
had no enemies; he was quiet,
inoffensive creature who would
never have harmed a fly; nothing
had been stolen from the premises;
bundle of bank.notes and railway
shares was found untouched in his
desk. What could have been the
motive of the crime? To whom
could it be imputed? The heirs
seemed to be above suspicion. One
was his son, b painter on enamel

ton to his father was proverbial
In the canton; the other was Nine.
Bernard, woman thirty years
his Junior, whom the old taxider-
mist had married only q twelve
month before his death, and who
was held up by the Cure and the
Mayor as q model of every Chris
tian virtue.
The Procureur of the Republic,
the Juge d'Instruction and the
Commissary of the Police on the
morrow of the murder were inde-
fatigable. The maid Of all work,
the neighbors, the deceased's &C.

cross-questioned, yet not clue
was obtainable and the magis.
trates were obliged to adjourn over
until the next morning, with the
very slight hope that something
might turn up in the interval to
put bsff1ed Justice on the track.
Their expectations were not dis
appointed. Bright and early the
family doctor, who, after his and
the sons examination, had been
shut up with the latter in his stu
dio, presented himself to the Pro-
cureur.

haps he saw his assassin, and it
may be that his image is repro
duced on his visual organs. Will
you examine his eyes this morn

rather to humor Esculapius than
because of any real confidence in
the ordeal. AT noon the parquet
arrived; the corpse lay on the bed,

other. The doctor, at a sign from
the Procureur raised the eyelids.
The magistrate bent forward over
the blue pupils, which seemed to
glare with strange fixedness at the
group in which was Madame Ber-
nard, and then, after o moments
examination, his face as pale as
death, he caught the woman's
hand, exclaimiDg: "Look for your
self, and deny it il you dare ~
Madame Bernard did look, utter q

saw her own face reflected on each
side of the cioven forehead; and
when she recovered consciousness,
avowed herself the murderess-

1t was not q miracle nor O phe.
nomenon; the doctor explained
everything. He and the younger
Bernard had had suspicious from
the first. The latter had m ade q
pair of enamel eyes and the doctor
had carefully inserted them in the
dead mans orbits, and fright and
superstition had done the rest.

THERE is something startling in
the way the country catches fire in
q long drought. After a few
weeks' deprivation of rain, fires
start up In the woods aud dry
meadows on all sides, the sun
shines red and dim, and the chok.
ing smoke extends even to the sea-
shore, and pours through the city
streets and into the open windows.
The soil itself, penetrated in every
direction by vegetable fibres as dry

the progress Of the flames through
great forests is marvellous in iti
rapidfty. Settlements in wooded
regions are quickly surrounded
by the advancing fire, and the in.
habitants have to work day and
night to save their homes. Farm
houses are In the same peril, live
stock 10 burned to death, the har-
vests are destroyed, and sometimes
human lives are lost in the sweep
of the flames. The esrth seems
turned into finder box, and the
use of fire for any purpose becomes
dangerous until the rains return
and soak the ground, extippuish-
Ing the last spark. Such picture
reminds one Of q travellers story,
and yet 1t only describes what has
happened In Michigan, in Penn
