A COMPLAINT AND A WARNING.

Mrs. Adams, relict of Colonel
Frank M. Adams, the mining man
who was killed in this city last sum-
mer, writes from Fostoria, Ohio, on
the 10Th instant that her husbands
partner-one Hayford-had told her
that all the funeral expenses and 9TH
er debts Of her late husband on
Wood River had been paid. She
states, further, that both Hayford and
George Adams, brother OF Colonel
Adams, have put all the mining prop.
erty out of their hands, to cheat Mrs.
Adams out of her share.
The above charges are very grave,
but we believe them to be true; espe-
cialIy as we know of several bills.
besides the funeral expenses, which
remain unpaid. AS the parties CON-
planned OF are now either in HALEY
or Bellevue having arrived on Wood
River yesterday the TIMES publishes
the above in order to put the public on
their guard against them.
Men who will treat poor widow
in the way that they have treated
Mrs. Adams, do not deserve any con-
sideration whatever.

A LOST BOY.
The Ruin Wrought by the Demon Of
Strong Drink.

From one of Colonel Ingersolls speeches.1
l knew youth-a noble, generous
youth-irom whose heart flowed liv-
ing fount of pure and holy feeling,
winch spread around and fertilized the
soil of friendship, while warm and
generous hearts crowded about and
enclosed him in circle of god-like
happiness. The eyes of woman
frightened at his approach, and wealth
and honor smiled TO win him to their
circle. His days sped onward, and as
a summers brook sparklcs all Joyous
on its gladstone way, so sped he on,
blithsome amid the light of woman's
love and manhood's eulogy. He
wooed and won u maid OF peerless
charms, a being fair, delicate and
pure, who bestowed the harve-t of her
hearts young love upon him. The
car of time rolled on and clouds arose
to dim the horizon of his worldly hap
piness. The serpent of inebriation
crept into the Eden OF his heart; the
pure and holy feeling which the god
of nature had implanted in his soul
became polluted by the influence of
the miscalled social cup. The warm
and generous aspirations of his soul
became frozen and callous within him.
The tears of the wretched agony of
the afflicted wife found no response
within his bosom. The pure and holy
fount of universal love within his
heart, that once gushed forth at the
moaning Of misery, and prompted the
hand to administer to the require
ments o. the wretched, sent forth no
more its pure and benevolent offer
ing; its waters had become in;ermin.
gled with the poisoned ingredients OF
spirits, and the rank weeds of intern
Perance had sprung up and choked
the fount from whence the stream
flowed. The dark spirit of poverty
had Tapped its wings over his habiia-
t'on, and the burning hand of disease
had scared the brightness OF his eve.
and palsied the elasticity of his frame.
The friends who ba>ked in the sun
shine of his prosperity fled when the
wlntry winds Of adversely blew round
his dwelling.
Pause, gentle reader: Go to Won
lonely burial place and ask who rests
beneath its lonely surface? "The '
Wondering remains OF drunkard.'
One who possessed heart overflow :
ing with the milk of human kindness.
the days Of whose boyhood were hal
lowed by high and holy aspirations:
the hours of whose manhood were uu- .
clouded by care and unstained bv
crime: the setting orb of whose des.
tiny was enshrouded in a mist of nil
cry and degradation. He saw the
smile of JOY sparkling in the social
glass; he noted not the demon of de-
struction lurking at the bottom of the t
goblet; with eager hand he raised the !
poised glass to his lips, and he was
ruined.
