BY letter received from Lower Soda.
we learn that some one has started the
report In that locality that r. p. Me-
knight charged Mrs. M. Y. Brown the
sum of si6O for rent. provisions, etc. /,
furnished her during the Illness of her
husband. Also that he demanded
that amount and compelled her to
pay II before she returned to the wall
ley. BY authority of Mrs B. we now
state that not one word OF these re.
potts are true. Mr.. Mcknight could
not have treated his own brother aud
sister any better than lac did Mr.. and
Mrs Brown. They were Invited 10
partaks of anything he had His sons
were good hunters and anglers and
their game and fish was always siivid.

was made for rent aud he did not re-
ceiye one cent In cash for what was
due him. He did receive certain ar
iicies OF furniture. etc. which would
probably repay him for alI that he
was out In money, but MIS- Brown owes 3
him and every member of his family
debt OF gratitude which she feels she
can never repay.

In August last Mrs. Mary Brown,
mother Of the late Gen. Mart v. Brown,
lett this city for ottumwa, Iowa, where
she had daughter residing. She arriv-
ed at her destination withon. accid ent
and without any perccribie change In
her physical condition. but about two
weeks afterward was taken violently III
and on Sabbath, Sept. ilth, passed away,
her bedside beInE surrounded by two
daughters, one son, and many otTisr rela-
tiyes. Although she passed throug h
many trials and hardsbIps she lived 10
the ripe age OF 70. When the war OF the
rebellion broke cut the Brown family re-
sided Ia 0skaloosa, Iowa. Her son Mart
v. Brown was one OF tho very first 10 re-
spond 10 the cali, and the others followed
until she haa her five sons In tho army.
Next, the oil father volunteered. lie
was too old TO 20 into regular service, but
joined enc or tho old 'sGray. beard" regl-
monts. After servIag for a year or 20
the health other son Mart broke down and
he was discharged. and going home this
old mother nnraed him into health again,
besides making a living for herself aud
one daughter. Next her youngest son,
"Bunk" (as tho oskaloosa boys aud his
comrades called lrim1 was taken with tl,e
fever at the front away down In Mississlp.
pI. He was brought back to the hospi.
tails Mt Memphis and there his mother
took care OF him until he, too, was dis.
charged. She took him home, and on
the way he took the small pox, and short.
~ after reaching Oskaloosa died. Next
another son came home suffering with
the consumption contracted In the cam.
paiens In the South, and he too died
Soon afierward the father came, and thsl
scourge OF the Union soldiers, tho smal
pox carried hip of. How the old lady
bore up under all these affections anc
priyations Is more than any cne can tell
Very few families did so much for thu
cause as this one, and 1t looks TO us lIk,

WANTED IN OFFICE.

A Crank Visits the Capitol and Demands
to be Indnct. d into the Office Of Clerk of
the supreme Court.
Gov. Pillsbury and other state officials
were visited by crank yesterday. He
said he was from the country, and lis
appearance justified the assertion. He
was nearly six feet, wore plush cap,
and had fiaring yellow cotton haLdker-
chief tied around his neck. He had on
a comfortable brown overcoat and a pair
of jeans overalls covered his limbs, while
his feet were confined in a pair of No. IL
boots. He had heard of the indisposi-
ton of Clerk Nichols, and had come in
to offer his services to the governor for
the position. He was ready to enter up
on the dut1es-just then Ed. seized Mr.
Crank by the nap of the neck and the
seat of his unmentionables, and Chapel
opening the outside door, he was soon
inspecting the sidewalk An hour or so
later he reappeared and commenced the
same rigmarole as above. A prompt
election from the building followed,
when he went off threatening to appeal
to the legislature for the impeachment
of the governor for negiectlng a great
public duty in refusing to appoint him
to the Office he demanded.

CLOSE oFTsE ExrRA SESSION,

At u o'clock to-day the extra session
OF the legislature will terminate. The
session has continued forty one days, and
though much shorter than ordinary ses-
sions it will pass into local his
tory as having performed more
important work than any of its
predecessors. Called to meet the emer-
gency created by the decision of the Su-
preme Court declaring invalid the con-
stitutional amendment adopted over
twenty years ago, it bravely met the sit
uation. The settlement made of the
vexed bond question will MT It with tenn
porary disapproval in some quarters, but
five years will not elapse before the SEN
timent of the State will be unanimous IN
endorsing the work of the legislature just
concluding. In any hotly contested
measure, representative body must
necessarily exercise its delegated powers
in manner not pleasing to ALL This is
a responsibility which cannot be avoided,
but it is not always as squarely met as
by the present legislature. The mem
beers have done an honorable work, and
done it well, and so far as 1t may be dis
approved at this moment, it is only a
question of time when those so disap-
proving will admit their error of judy
ment.

HOUSE.

Yesterday being the last day on which bills
could be passed, the house settled down to
business early in the day. The forenoon ses-
sion developed nothing particularly sensation
al or interesting. The afternoon, however,
proved the capacity of the members of turn
ing the legislative halls into bear garden.
The bill that caused the commotlon was one
introduced by Mr.. Rice to remit and release
the obligation to the state of the balances due
for seed wheat by the everal counties. 1t
must be said that the friends Of the measure
worked manfully for it, and presented cogen-
reasons for its adoption, and they acted in q
manner that inspired respect. The speeches
on both sides were long-perhaps
too long were interesting to those pres
emit, and nearly all the members retained their
seats till the bill was finally killed. Mr..
Hicks took the chair in the midst of scene
of almost indescribable confusion, and by a
vigorous use of his gavel and his stentorian
lungs succeeded in restoring order, though
his threat to adjourn the house af his own
motion, was somewhat out of place and of
questionable propriety. All the business of
the house was cleared up and but one dead
duck left on the clerks desk when the al
iournment Was had at 10 o'clock-a bill ap-
propriating $500 to build bridge in Kandi-
yohi county.
