UTICA, Oct. 14.-ED. GRAPHIC: If
only had history of La Sale county
by me, | might write something of in
terest. As it is l think I'd better be
brief. La Sale county is one of the
largest in the state. 1t has at least ten
cities of one thousand and more inhabi-
tants. La Sale and Peru have each
5000, while Ottawa and Streator have
1000 each, Rutland, Tonica, Utica and
Earl, have 1850 each and Mendoza 1000.
La Sale himself camped once on the
bluff north of here, and sped his light
canoe adown the placid illinois. Ira
dition tells many beautiful legend of
early times, but they are marred by
the history Of blood, and carnage when
the Indian inhaoited these hills. Suffice
it is to say, am now in this historic
spo:, at work as usual for Jesus Chl ISL
and the Baptis;s l resigned in Minonk
early in September and settled here In
October. Special greetings to old
friends. Utica is on the Rock Island
and Pacific Railroad.

A Plutky woman.

A suit has been decided in st. Louis
which properly handled contains all
| the elements Of first class romance or
a sensational drama for the stage.
Over twenty years ago, VIM. Wackler
was a Minnesota farmer. He entered
the war and was disabled, and the
government granted him a pension.
He was of an unsettled wandering dis
position and moved with his family
from place to place having lived in
New Orleans, Cincinnati, Milwaukee,
Chicago, Detroit, Quincy, and other
points. In 1872 he left his family at
the latter place and went to California.
The next tldinRs his wife had from
him was of his death by railroad acci-
dent in Louisiana. He had two insur-
ances on his life, which it is under
stood his wife had kept valid by pay
ments as the assessments came due.
On hearing OF hs death she went sto
Louisiana had the body exhumed and
identified it as the remains Of her hus-
band. TLen commenced a long con-
test with the insurance companies tor
the amount due. For years the poor
woman has fought these great corpora
tions in the courts. She refused all
offers of compromise, and almost single
handed, kent up the contest for what
she considered her Just dues. Ihe last
trial was recently terminated in st.
Louis. To meet and beat her man
protesting to be the veritable VIM.
Wackler was produced in court, who
went upon the stand and swore that he
was the husband OF the claimant, and
that he still drew his pension from the
Government. He showed great tamil-
iarity with the life and career of the
family but broke down when the ex-
animation went into particulars. Sew
eral reputable witnesses repudiated
HIM entirely, as totally unlike the real
husband of the plaintiff. When the
case went to the jury they speedily
found for the plaintiff and awarded her
the sum of Sc. 500 against the insurance
company. An appeal was taken to the
United States supreme court by the
defense. 1t the mean time it is said
the bogus husband will find himself in
hot water for obtaining pension money
fraudulently.

1t is well known by the Greentackers

informed, about the only one in North

harder things about Gen. Weaver and
the Greenback party, during the cam

parties. Now this man, who has been
the Thorn in the flesh'' of the party in
his own county, seeks to foist himself
upon the Greenbackers of the First
Dist. as their candidate for Congress.
Failing to receive nomination at the
hands of the Greenbackers which i. was
well known he wanted, he is, after be-
ing defeated in the Congressional Con-

The leaders of this movement in
Hatch's interest, We are credibly in
formed, made an effort to hold meet
ing at Edna, on the 9TH, inst, for the
purpose of nominating Leavitt for Con-
gress. The call for the meeting was
not published in anytofthe pa oers of the
district, ard the affair evidently was
gotten up on the sly for the purpose of
getting together only such as would be
favorable to their project; out when the
day came, they were afraid to submit
to a decision of the Greenbackers who
were present on that occasion. Hav-
ing been thwarted in this. their own
move, these alde:s of Hatch conceived
the idea of petitioning Leavitt to be a
candidate, which of course he did not
decline, as he was there to be used.
Not single Greenbanck vote in Shell
by county will be cast for Leavitt.

Literature for Boys.

The old fashioned stories which the
unhappy boys of the last generation
read have been succeeded by the man.
ly and facinating criminal novel. In
the old story books it was assumed that
truthtulness, honesty, and obedience to
parents were virtues and the Chris
tian religion was not wholly devoid of
merit. Ifthese views were not taught
IN the juvenile OF our fathers. at all
events they were never directly or indi-
rectly attacked. Boys would learn
nothing from their story books except
preposterous Notwithstanding that
was of any practical use. or tended to
develope in them manly and brilliant
traits.
No such complaint can be made of
the dime and half-dlme novels of the
criminal school which are now read by
our boys, either open or secretly. In
these delightful stories new forms of
profanity and Sang are taught in the
most effective way. The pleasure of
burglary and highway robbery, the man.
illness ofgambling and fighting. and
the herolsm fsuccessful lying. are set
forth In what is regarded by youthful
readers as glowing eloquence while
the great truths that all parents ale
ty'ants, that all religious people are
hypocrites, and that dlsobedience to
the fathers and teachers, obedience 70
the noble instincts OF juvenile nature,
are sedulously taught.
Such stories as these develope all
that is unmanly and lawless in our boys,
and teach them lessons that cannot
fail to be Of immense service to them
in whatever criminal career they may
adopt.
There are few old-fashioned people
who denounce the new juvenile litera-
ture in unsparing terms but that near
ly all fathers approve of it is self-evl.
dent. They know that their boys are
reading novels illustrative of the excel
lence Of crime, but they make no ef-
fort to suppress that kind OF literature,
as they certainly would do did they
disapprove of it.
Nothing would be simpler than to
drive those novels out of existence. All
that 1t would be necessary to do would
be to Boycott" the news dealers who
keep them for sale. The truth evident
ly is that fathers either do not care
what their boys read. or that they have
no fault to find with Jack Harkaway
and the Boy Burglars. 1t cannot be
that respectable gentlemen who dislike
crime, profanity and vulgarity willfully
refuse to know what their boys are
reading, or weakly hope that by some
happy chance their reading will do them
no harm.-Haypeys Magazine.

accused OF exorbitant appropriations, of
using the puolic funds to secure cleo

oppressors of the poor, and back of this
dark catalogue of crime, said the
speaker, run river OF blood, but not a
word of explanation did he offer as to
the cause OF this river of blood, or as to
the party responsible for it. He de-
