Dear Household ladies. in my fancied

But not the worthless, but the wise and

And never dare to act the double part.
Nor give your hand, while you withhold

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-Friends of
the late Gen. Thomas are very indig-
nant at the suggestion made in the
speech of Don Cameron on the Porter
case in which Cameron declared that
Thomas hesitated in his loyalty to the
government in the early part of 1861
Thomas friends think that Don Cam
eron spoke from inaccurate, memory,
and that Thomas never hesitated an
instant from the beginning of the re
bel]ion to the end
If the brave old General was alive
today, Don Cameron would have too
much regard for his scalp lock to
make such an allusion. We don't
think the Old man would hesitate halt
a moment what disposition to make OF
Don.

Speaking of the probabilities that
the President would veto the Fitz
John Porter bill. Chandler claims
shat if the president vetoes this bill
it will help the administration politi-
cally." So it would seem that the
business or unjustness of the the bill is
not to be considered at all. The
question is will it make the admins
tration party stronger or weaker TO
veto it. What an attitude for the
president of the United States to pose
in. II is enough to make devils blush.

SiCkning and HOrFifying Discovery
Of a German Hanging 20 q Tree
Near Dodgeviue.

Monday afternoon of this week
while Mr.. Johnson Glanville, of
Dodgeyille, was passing through the
grove in Cox Hollow, about two and
a half miles north of that village,
the horrible sight of human form
dangling from the limb of tree
met his gaze. Information of the
discovery was at once spread before
the public, and the scene eagerly
sought by many. The body was in
a badly decomposed state; it is said
beyond recognition. The clothing
and papers therein, however, proved
it beyond doubt, to be that of Ger
man named Schultz, who formerly
worked for Stralman IL Co. As
his last appearance III that village
was fair time, Sept. 1920, il is sup
posed from the condition of the re-
mains, that he launched himself into
eternity shortly thereafter. His sus-
penders were employed for the pur-
pose, having been found with them
around his neck and thence attached
to the tree The limb from which
he swung was no, high enough from
the ground to permit of his under
taking being success while stand
ing, so he took squatting position
and was thus discovered. Some SlS
or $lg were found in his pockets.
He is said to be a man of middle
age, and we understand had no re-
latiNes in that community. He is
reported as having been in the habit
Of drinking, but to what extent we
are not informed, and his reason for
this act remains unsolyed. Despon-
dency, or the bauntings Of past
wrong doings or troubles are prob
ably the cause
