A EwINDLE.

The latest dodge by which unprincipaed
men are securing money from farmers is
worked substantially as follows:
"a fellow comes along with patent
wagon tongues. He stops with a farmer.
Before leaving in the morning he usually
says he has made big thing, and is on his
way home and has only this county to sell.
He tells his host he can have it for $3.50,
and if he wants it he can write to him.
He leaves. In a few days along comes
patent right man No. 2. He heard that
the farmer has the right to his county for
the patent wagon tongue, and as he made
a big thing in Nebraska out of it, he wants
to buy the county, and offers $400, paying
$40 to bind the trade. The farmer writes
to No. /, and sends him $3.50. He never
hears of either, but the note comes up at a
neighboring bank, and he is out S240. II
the farmer had not sent the money for the
right the party who paid him the $40 would
commence suit against the farmer for pro-
curing money under false pretenses The
farmer who thinks that the merchants with
whom he has dealt for years are all rogues,
and all strangers travelling around for some
benevolent society to benefit humanity.

HIGH WATER

The river is now - feet and over above
low water mark, which is an unusual stage
for this season of the year. The rise in
the upper river and its tributaries leads to
the inevitable conclusion that a food may
soon be expected. At the present time
Rock river at Milan is booming, and sew
sral of the mills in that locality have been
closed on account of the high water. Ad-
vices from Dubuque state that all indica-
tions point to a big flood. The river is
now the highest for over twenty years al
this season, ana rise of several feet is still
expected.
The Black and Wisconsin have the big
gest floods on record, and the streams
above are extraordinarily high. Great
CONSERVATION exists among those having
exposed property. So heavy and constant
have been the rains that they have shut off
all deliveries of grain along the river, and
two of the Diamond 10 boats were laid up at
Dubuque for lack of business in this their
usual busiest season.
