On the charge of fast driving Andrew
Hunt was brought before Justice Bald
win, Saturday and fined five dollars and
costs. Mr. Hunt refused to pay any
such amount for the privilege of putting
team of mules through their PAGES
and was accordingly committed to jail.
However, before he had time to indulge
in more than hasty glance at the
interior of the structure relatives paid
the fine and he was dismissed with
rather ruflled temper.

name was not learned, slipped and fell,
bruising her shoulder and arm in SO

lose consciousness. She was carried
into DIR. Hassell's office where proper
remedies soon restored her to conscious
ness and she was able to depart for

On the day of the circus nearly half
of all the pupils were either absent from
school or tardy. # such circus could
be considered desirable part of a
child's education, why could they not
have attended in the evening. instead of
so seriously interfering with school in
tercsts? Some who had not been alb
sent or tardy during the term, or for
longer time, impaired their record on
this occasion. If, at the close of the
term, the reports of attendance and
punctualty are discreditable Gas they
now must be), and if some of the pupils
fall behind their grades because they
have, for frivolous reasons, been absent
from school, we wonder if those par
ents who have encouraged or allowed
unnecessary absences VIII feel perfectly
justified and satisfied over the result.
Credit is due to those students who
have resolutely remained at the post of
duty, and to all parents who have firmly
kept their children from being detected
from 4 more important work by tenn
porary outside attractions.

Gene to His Rest,

The sad announcement was received
in this city, Monday morning, that Lou.
2. Lester WAS dead. The message
came with chilling breath TO many
hearts, for in Lancaster Lou. had scores
of friends, made during his residence
here. Ii was we'll known that he had
been i'll, quite seriously 50. but the pos
siDle fatal termination of his illness had
been shut out as something too uncanny
to be entertained for . moment. But
the angel OF death draws no rein at the
bidding Of mere mortals. the dread
white horse brushes under his harsh
hoofs friendships hopes and loves
wishes, and to-day we mourn the death
Of friend. A friend who WAS one of
natures noblsmen, n friend from whom
mono ever turned away without ready
sympathy in time Of need, or, If nscss-
sary, with more substantial assistance
for their troubles. None were ever
turned away empty handed. He to
whom all others closed their doors was
was always sure to find relief
at the hands OF Lou. p. Lester. Honest,
upright, true-hsarted, stsadfast in
friendship, man whose word was ~
good As any mans bond, he made
friends wherever he went. How uni
versally he was esteemed wherever
known. il shown by the overwhelming
vote which he received on his first cleo
ton to the Office of County Treasurer
and at his subsequent reelection, .
vote greater by far than had fallen to
the lot Of any candidate before or since.
Lou. p. Lester may have had his faults,
NO man is without them, but his many
excellent qualities 80 far transcend these
~ to bury them fathoms deep out OF
sight. But it is OF little use that we re-
call instance after instance to show the
innate goodness of character that
glowed within the soul of the now life
less clay. Fond reeollsctions will not
bring back the spirit that has hed, nor
will chanted eulogiums ease the pain of
anguish-stricken hearts. Yet such REM
iaiscsness are not without profit, in that
they leave for loved and loving ones
picture which can be framed in life's
memories as that of an honest, noble
man, picture which can be treasured
by the bereaved wife and orphaned
babes, and to which the latter can in
after years turn with honest pride and
cry. THAT was my father" Kind
friend, loving husband. devoted father,
fare thee we'll in thy narrow resting
place, with the soft wind swaying the
branches above thy head in gentle re-
QUEEN, with life's journey hardly begun,
with all OF life's glorious promises still
unfulfilled thou hast laid down thine ar
NOR, having fought we'll the fight.
Sleep peacefully in thy quiet resting
place. Thy virtues shall shine with re-
fulgent glory, growing clearer with
each succeeding year. Fallen art thou,
but not forgotten. True friend, fare
thee well.

Bloomington.

Bloomington has sensation in the
matter of the failure of well known
and popular stock buyer who has victi-
mixed his best friends in the final wind
up of his business in this section. A
few of those that he beat can lily afford
it for they were in debt and the amount
he owed them had a place in which it
could fit nicely and liquidate the interest
on debt, and it is felt the more be-
cause the confidence in him was so
great that he could have commanded
any amount of money, or stock, at any
time in his business. The causes of the
disaster are many, among which are
dealing in options in Chicago and losing
heavily in that business; gambling is
another fruitful source of his trouble;
then the flowing bowl was resorted to
for the purpose of drowning financial
trouble. Ofcourse, these things brought
on neglect of business and general dist
patton and the man was ruined, as many
men woo have pursued the same course
before have been ruined. This gambl-
ing which has been the bane of more
than one community and the ruin of so
many young men, should he handled
without gloves wherever it is INDUCED
in. The peculiar instincts of the
gambler are to beat any one with whom
he deals, without the slightest remorse,
in fact, the gambler chuckles over his
exploits whenever he thinks of how well
he performed his part in that line II
is sad to see young man who might
be somebody and whose prospects were
bright for q useful and successful bust
ness career, thus demoralized and
ruined in the prime of manhood. Driven
to desperation by constant losses in his
games of chance, he at last resorts to
dishonorable means whereby to obtain
money for the purpose of continuing
his reckless career. This is case in
which strong drink played secondary
part and dealing in options on the board
of trade in Chicago, the primary part,
sandwiched with gambling as interme-
diate-three things either of which we'll
followed is ruinous in the ex-
treme. We all hope that it will
be a substantial lesson to all
young men and that the man who is
thus ruined may come out all right

A SHORT time since a visit was made
to genuine, old-fashioned '.lead," that
was discovered last winter, on Boice
Prairie, on the farms of Mr.. Battle and
Kundert, by MIR. John Stone, of this
place, and Mr.. Battle. Some ore was
first discovered by Dir. Stone, in ditch,
washed out by the rain, and with his
usual judgment and perseverance he
proceeded to follow it up. After dig
ging few shallow holes and trenches,
his efforts were rewarded by finding, at
depth of two or three feet only, below
the surface, some fine specimens of
float and cube mineral, which indi-
Gated better things ahead. As the min
eral goes into the hill, it rapidly in
ereases in quantity, the "chunks" be-
come larger, the "sheets" wider and
thicker, until undoubtedly the richest
dead" ever found on Boicc Prairie
proper is before the discoveries. One
shaft has been sunk to depth of SO feet.
But little ore. if any, 10 found below 20
feet, although deeper shafts may dis
cover quantities in tho lower openings
The mineral is found in two strings"
or ranges" running side by side, =
few feet apart, and occupying a space
of about two feet up and down and sew
eral feet in width. The range, which
is east and west, has boon worked =
short distance on the west end, growing
better as it runs toward the east and
west, and has boon struck 100 yards
east from the last shaft sunk on the
west end, thus leaving 100 yards of
ground, that is rich beyond doubt,
yet to be worked out The amount al
ready taken out can be little less than
one hundred Thousand pounds. and the
ore, rs it is piled up, held in place by
walls made of chunks. each weighing
two or three hundred pounds. is a sight
that makes an old miners eyes glisten
with the light of other days, when a
lead" was more an every day thing
than it is now. Two more worthy or
deserving young men than Messrs.
Stone and Battle are not to be found,
and they are to be congratulated on
their good fortune.
