more county MIXED 2,255 cows more
than Blue Earth, we produced the
greater number pounds of butter by
24O,955. With our present creamery
additions it is not claiming too much
to say that ere the close of the present
year we shall stand ahead of any
county in the State in the number Of
these institutions. These figures are
most gratifying, and commend the
enterprise and thrift of our farmers,
the superiority of our county for
dairying. and the bright future of
our agriculturists as can be substan.
TALLY shown in no other way.
Our sheep industry is also becOm-
ing an important factor. and the fu-
ture promises great advancement in
this particular. The number of sheep
in Blue Earth county in 1881 was
5,37l, from which 24,S89 pounds of
wool was marketed. The sooner our
farmers comprehend the profits of
sheep raising, the better it will be
for themselves and the interests they
represent.
The assessed valuation Of personal
property of the county compiled from
returns made to State Auditor for
taxation, is 81, 8O4,Sl6.
BY reference to the tables of "vital
statistics" in the Commissioners re.
port, we find that during the year
1880. there were In this county 1875
births. 257 deaths, leaving natural
increase in population for the year,
Of 1853.
The ratio of increase in population
from 1850 to 1880 is especially en-
titled to notice, as there are very few
counties in the State that can make
as good showing as our own in this
particular. In 1850, according to
the census. Blue Earth county had
a population of only 4,803, while in
1880 the report shows us to have o..
$50.
Comparing our county with others
in the State, we have more than good
reasons for congratulation. and now
that we have just entered upon a
new era of prosperity, the succeeding
reports Of the State Statician will
show us to be the banner county in
more ways than one. Verify we have
reasons to feel fiattered.

TT NEVER PAYS.

1t never pays to fret or growl
When fortune seems our foe:
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the drawer blow.
For luck is work,
And those who shirl1
Should not lament their doom;
But yield the play,
And clear the way,
That better men have room.
1t never pays to foster pride,
And squander wealth in show;
For friends thus won are sure TO run
In times of want or woe.
The noble worth
OF all the earth
Are gems of heart and brain
A conscience clear,
A household dear,
And hands without a stain.
1t never pays to hate foe
Or cater to friend
To fawn and whine, much less repine,
To borrow or to lend.
The faults of men
Are fewer when
Each rows his own canoe,
For friends and debts
And pampered pets
Unbounded mischief brew.
1t never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain,
And he is sold who thinks thai gold
Is cheaply bought with pain.
A humble lot,
A cosy cot,
Have tempted even kings,
For station high
That wealth will buy,
Naught of contentment brings.
1t never paysl A blunt refrain,
Well worthy of a song;
For age and truth must learn this truth
That nothing pays that's wrong.
The good and pure
Alone are sure
To bring prolonged SUGGEST
While what is right
In Heavens sight
Is always sure to bless.

Kansas City, S.-A passenger who
arrived on the Wabash train this
morning said while waiting for
train at Moberly, a sheriff's officer
entered the depot there, having just
arrived from the west, looking very

will cause much rejoicing among

James was captured last evening at

senger did not remember the exact
location, after a determined and
bloody fight in which he killed
seven pursuing officers and " ounded
three others. Jesse himself is said
to have been shot full Of
holes, and it is impossible for
him to live. The outlaw was sur
rounded at a log cabin in the midst
of heavy timber, where he and a
companion, supposed to Ed. Miller,
were hiding. They were asleep
when the officers arrived, but the
door Of the hut was securely barri-
caded. They made desperate re-
sistance, and killed seven officers
while the attempt was being made
to batter down the door from. the
outside. Jessie's companion was
shot dead. The officer who told the
story claimed to have beer with the
party, and just reached Moberly by
train. Tha story is generally dis
credited,

LAST GASP INSURANCE.
A DauGhteT-ln-Law ArOuses an Old
Mans Anger.

A dispatch from Buffalo, New York, Says
ga curious insurance case, that manifeata
on the face of 1t much crookedness and
opens wide field OF investigation into the
mode Of operations of the company In
volved, has been brought to public notice.
An agent Of the Northwestern Mutual Bene-
1T Association Of Detroit, named Edmund
Jones, has been engaged at Black Rock In
inducing wives and daughters to insure
husbands and fathers without their knowl-
edge and consent. The case IN question Is
that OF an old man named Edward Crowley,
incapacitated for hard work by feebleness
and partial blindness, who lives with his
wife and stepaughthr, AnnieSBntton. In
June last, under preteDse OF taking him to
a doctor for treatment of his eyes, his
daughter-iu-laW, Sophia Crowley, had him
examined by a physician in presence OF
Jones, and the usual medical certificate
was made out at her house. He thought it
queer way to treat his eyes BY examining
his body, but she represented that they had
a wheel at home, and with what they had
ascertained they woald set a charm which
would disclose the true nature of his trouble;
then they would provide medicine. Hear
ing the details Of the CHASER case read from
the newspapers, the thought occurred to
him that he had been made a victim OF
graveyard insurance. When he took Sophia
to task she confessed that he was right.
went down on her knees, begged for
forgiveness, protested she did not In
tend any harm, that the policy was
for only $500. Crowley and his wife, threat
ening to give notice to the authorities, COM
PEELED her to produce the policy, when It
was discovered that the insurance was for
81, 500, in favor of Sophia. His age was
given as fifty eight, when In reality he was
sixtv-five wears old. This occurred two
weeks ago. Jones has since tried to get the
policy, but the old man refused to give it
up, as he has deposited It with a friend to
obtain legal advice The extent of this
business at Black R9ck is not yet deter
mined, as the facts did not become public
until to- day, but Sophia Crowley says
she knows a large number OF persons have
been insured without their knowledge.

POCKETING PRINCIPLE.
A Boiling Republican Goes over TO
The ReadjusTeFs-A New Phase of
the Situation

RICHMOND, VA, February 17.-In the
Senate to-day Mr.. Wingfeld, of Hanover,
dissatisfied Republican who has hereto
fore voted with the Democrats, voted with
the Readjusters, making a tie of eighteen
on several votes. Lieutenant Governor
Lewis was in the chair and by his castipg
vote decided everything In favor Of the Re-
adjgsters.
The action of Wingf1eld, it is claimed,
virtually settles the question Of the Audi
torship, as d detection Of only one Senator
was needed to cause tie vote on
the joint resolution now pending in
the Senate, providing for an cleo
ton of an Auditor, Railroad
Commissioner. several Corporation judges
and Judges Of the Supreme Court OF Ap-
peals, which tie vote will be decided in
favor of the Readiusters. In that case the
only other means the Democrats could use
TO obstruct legislation IN the matter would
be to refrain from voting aud leave the
Senate without a quorum. Both parties will
hold caucuses tonne hit.
