There was very strong case in
the police court on Monday. The
defendant, a lad of tender years aud
unrighteous ways, being charged
with smearing the outside of
dwelling house with mustard. The
owner of the house first caught the
boy and rubbed his nose in the mus

before the mayor, who ordered him
TO clean off the house, which was
done The kid said he didn't mind

have just decided the Gratiot rail

Sudden and Sad Death Of Mrs.

About $3.50 o'clock on Tuesday
evening whilst returning from her

IT becomes our unpleasant duty
to chronicle the fatal accident of
little Bert, an eleven year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. Dale, of Dodge
vile. Last Thursday the little fell
low, in company with some others,
was in the act of loading a small
revolver which accidently went off,
the ball entering the abdomen and
lodging near the spine. His suffer.
ing was intense until Sunday, when
death came. This is trying afilie-
tion to the parents, especially the
mother who was confined to her bed
by sickness all through the ordeal.
The Milwaukee Sentinel, which is
very conservative, and very critical
and which is always very economical
in its praise of shows gives this trib-
ute: "The Burr Robbins circus and
menagerie exhibited at the corner of
Fifth and Poplar streets, yesterday,
tolarge audiences, afternoon and eve
ming. The entire performance was de-
void Of the broadness and yulgarity
so common in circuses, and every in
divid ual about the institution looked
clean and honest, and behaved ciyily.
In fact, such an amount of attention
was paid to decorum and propriety
that one would hardly have been as
tonished had the performance open
ed wite p hymn and closed with
benediction. There is an absolute air
of freshness and decency about the
establishment that commends it be-
yond all precedent. This afternoon
and evening will close the engage
ment here"

sweet warbles. The day proved one
of great interest to the little ones,
and left an impression which their
memories will cherish forever.

the presumptions are in favor of the
validity Of the certificate and it is
only in cases of manifest fraud upon
the Order where payment would
be denied by the Order. And the
reasons are apparent Ours Is not a

by a refusal to pay, and TIE rule of
the order is,in every case where there

The Cotton Gin n Georgia Inven-
tiOn

New England claims the invention
OF the cotton gin because Eli Whit-
ney who took out the first patent
happened to be native of that sec .
tiop; but she should remember that
the invention was made in Georgia,
while he was living in the house OF
the widow of General Greene (after-
wards Mrs. MILL and that all of his
experiments were made at her sug-
gestion, be merely acting in the ca
pacity of skilfull mechanic working
under orders and executing the plans
of another. 1t was as genuine a
Georgia production as was the reply
of Webster to Hayne a Massachusetts
masterpiece, and we do'net remember
ever to have found the New Hamp
shire man who claimed the Bay State
giant because he was reared among
her granite craggs. Pennsylvania
lays claim to that sturdy English
Quaker, Vim. Penn, and we have yet
to hear her title disputed by the
mother country and lately she has
placed a marble statue in the Capitol
at Washington of Robert Fulton, the
socalled inventor of the steam boat,
thus laying hold on that world rev-
olutionizing triumph, and her claims
are not denied though the air Of the
Eastern continent first filled his
lungs. Maine is boastful of the ora
tory and talents of James G, Blaine,
though Pennsylvania gave him to the
cradle, Ohio educated him, and Ken-
tucky first awoke within his breast
realization of his manhood and am-
bition to grasp the higher rounds OF
the political lad.er. Mississippi is
proud of the record of her devoted
champion, S S. Prentiss, though
Maine gave him birth; and OF her
peerless fnancier and statesman,
Robert j. Walker, though he was q
native of Pennsylvania; and of hel
soldier statesman, John Anthony
Qaitman, though an immigrant from
New York; and of the President she
gave the dead Confederacy, though Il
native of Kentucky; and her claim tc
number tLese nurseings who were
clusped to her fostering breast, as
Mississippians, is hardly to be dis
puted.
Quite as solvent as any we have
named is the claim of Georgia tc
whatever of honor is due to the dom
icle of the inventor Of the Cotton
Gin.

The New York Tribune few days
ago published what it claimed were
reports from thousand correspon-
dents in regard to the prospects of
the Western winter wheat crop; and
from these reports made most favora-
BILE deductions. The Chicago and
Milwaukee brokers have fercely at
tackled the Tribune's "showing," and
claim to be able to name the man
who got up all the letters in the
solitude of his office and without in
vestigation or inquiry; and they
charge that the publication was made
entirely and solely in the interest of
ring of spectators with which the
Tribune is in league.

RESPONSE TO ADDRESS OF WELCOME

EnWARDS.

The duty which has been assigned
me of acknowledging, in behalf OF the
Grand Lodge of the Knights OF
Pythias, the hearty welcome, the
generous hospitality, and the many
courtesies which they have received
at the hands of the officials and citi-
zens of Aberdeen, is one which | take
pleasure in discharging to the best of
my ability; yet it is one which / feel
that | cannot perform in near SO salts
factory manner as many others OF
the Grand Lodge present.
While it is true that this is the first
occasion in which this Grand Lodge
has been in a position to accept the
hospitalities which have SO often and
so urgently been extended to it by
members of our Order, resident il
your city, we are not ignorant o
the fact that it is by no means an un
usual occurrence for Aberdeen to b,
selected by Grand Lodges, and othe
assemblies, as their place of meeting
and since our arrival in your mids

Houses of the Legislature, gives the
Democrats twenty Congressional Dis

leaves three districts ''doubtful." In

thirteen, while in the Congress that

Stranger than Fiction.

Ex-Congressman Burdette, of Mis-
souri,, is the hero of wonderful and
mysterious episode: He was appoint
ed Land Commissioner by President
Grant, and made an honest and capa-
bic officer; but one day he disappear
ed from Washington, leaving not a
line of explanation Or trace that
would serve detective for clue.
Two years afterwards he appeared in
Missouri, creating as much surprise
as though the grave had given up its
dead. He could only remember that
one night he lost consciousness while
at his Office desk, and that when next
the power of thought and reason
came to him he found that he was in
Australia with two dreamless years
charged TO MS account on the scroll
of time. That he had lived, and
labored, and been well requited for
his work was attested by his condi.
ton, but to this day he cannot tell
what life or whose life he lived, OF
where the wandering, disembodied
spirit of Burdette was roaming, for it
returned as suddenly and mysteriously
as it left, and for all he knows had
been housed in the clay of some other
mortal who had taken on new life,
He is to-day well and hearty, and
remembers all that occurred before
and after his strange flight.
