$4,000 Found In a Bed.

Isabella McWean, an elderly woman.
who has been living in the village of
Essex Centre for the last thirty years,
died last week. It was rumored that
The old lady was possessor Of 8 large
amount of money, and that she hoard
ed every cent she obtained. She was
always .%reticent,, and never associated
with any Of her .ne,ghbors. After her
death il was decided to search her
dwelling. Nothing unusual was found
until the searcEers entered her apart
ment, where, on pulling cut the draw
rrs of a bureau, they found a number
Of purses filled with bills. Bills were
found in her trunk pined to the Innings
Of her dresses, and also gold amount
ing is $668 in English soyereigns. To-
gcther with the bills the amount found
was $2,36s. The searchers were about

party felt some hard Jumps in the bed,
and, ripping the tick open with a knife,
pulled out bag after bag Of silver.
When all was extracted there was as

Bob Lincoln Complimented.

The house Of representatives paid
quite a compliment to Secretary Lin
coin Wednesday by passing a resolu-
lion calling upon him to notify that
body ii at any time, in his judgement.
there exists such suffering in onse-
quence of the foods SIS to Justify meas
ares of relief on the part of congress,
and if SO the measure Of such relief
It is usually supposed that congress
knows what its duty is without calling
upon an executive officer to describe it.
and it is not believed that a resolution
Of similar character ever passed before.
1t is a tribute to the ability and judge
ment with which the secretary has dis
tributed the appropriation for the re-
Lief of the flood sufferers, and itmay be
said.that there is not u single case in
which compliment has beenmade. The
secretary has instructed officers IN
charge of the relief fund to telegraph
lim the actual condition of the flooded
districts. and whether further aid from
congress is required to relieve the suf-
fering.

The Trial.

Letcher Blade, The case brought
between the two registers to settle the
question Of the dual government in
this county, went to trial at Mitchell
last week, and it was stipulated that
the same testimony was to settle the
claims between the rival claimants to
the offices of sheriff, treasurer and pro-
bate judge. Nothing unexpected was
developed on either side, and there is
16thing to do now but await the decis-
ion of the judge and this annoying
question will be out Of the way.
The county is to lie congratulated.
not only upon the fact that the end OF
the struggle is near, but alsothat it has
been conducted on a manly basis which
mas stirred up no personal animosities
nor any bitter feeling between the two
rival towns for the county seat. When
the decision of the court is pronounced
we 81 all shake hands and join ou,
energies; which have for some months
been diverted and divided, in one grand
effort to develope or banner county.
There will probably beno appeal, and
there is certainly nothing to be gained
by one. The merits of each side have
been brought out, the best legal talent
has been employed, the case is in the
hands Of the chief Justice, his decision
will re honestly rendered according to
law and evidense, aud 1t will not be
reversed,

"G.OV. BlOxham Causing DemO -
cratic Principles TO Bend the X nee
TO AutOcralic Rule

Editors Columbia Star: Under the above caption
the RJ0rter makes violent and mistaken assault
upon Governor BlOXham for not removing Sheriff
j. ". Perry upon the recommendation of the grand
jury Of Columbia county in 1888.
The Reporter asks Why did Governor Boxham
grand jury? Why shout he treat the highest body
in our county, and through them the people, with
such marked and singing contempt ?: &c, &c.
Now ii Is perfectly agreeable for the Lake City
Reporter to advocate whomsoever it pleases for Gov
ernor This it has perfect right to do. But why
misstate facts ? Why misquote Judge Walker :?
For the Reporter certainly did So Judge Walker
had his charge written out and it speaks for itself
He referred exclusively TO Justices of the Peace,
for he had too much sense not to know that the
Governor cannot remove a Sheriff any other
officer confirmed by the Senate
The editor Of the Reporter should have know ledge
enough OF our Constitution to know this. Why did
not the Reporter make the charge at the time rather
than to wait to build mp Governor Drew's prospects
at the expense of facts and display of it's igno-
rance.
Again We have it from good authority that the
prcsentment Of the grand jury referred to never
received at the Executive Office, and was never
seen by the Governor.
The true course would have been for the jury to
have sent the Governor certified copy for his CON
sideraton.
1t may be said by the Reporter that it was pub.
lshcd In some newspaper That would not have
been an official notice TO the Executive. And be-
sides the Reporter must remember that it is not al
ways that persons read carefully every paper they
receive.
But even if the Governor had received the official
notice as suggested he had>ao power to act
May We not say In conclusion that the article in
the Importer rs purely political strike untrue In
every repect, and unworthy of the source from
whence ii came? JUSTICE.

The irsb blouse of Hugo Herb the sculptor,
brushed against a pile of blue clay in the sum-
mer garden of the Eden Musee yesterday after
noon, and large audience applauded Is he be-
gan his work of modelling the bust of a leading
Presidential candidate. None knew who the
bus, was to represent. and there was great ex-
element among the spectators. The sculptor
seized big chunk of the clay and thrust it on
top of an upright stick.
That's Homan's face" said an old lady look
ing at the rough mass
Then Mr.. Herb piled clay around and under
and on top of the lump until the basis for head,
neck and breast was formed. With single sweep
of his thumbs Mr.. Herb scooped out the clay
from where the eyes were to be and made pair
Of ears Then followed the nose chin and hair
in rapid succession. The sculptor picked up
little iron instrument and with few strokes
formed coat front, shirt front, collar and neckie
He Il rev Jumps of clay against the chin and
beard began to appear
It's Guiteau" shouted boy.
No, it's Blaine said young man.
$50 it is added the young mans lady COM
panion, but there's something wrong about the
expression"
A PUZZLED ARTIST
Mr. Herb soon fashioned the face until il was
recognized by everybody as that Of James G.
Blaine Bnt the artist glanced at the photograph
from which he was working, and did not seem
satisfied. The expression Of the face was one OF
despair He changed it to one OF disgust, but
still he toyed with the clay unsatisfed. Then a
look of dismay beamed from the blue featu res
but Mr. Herb was still undecided. He made
heavy lines under the eyes, and caused the eye
lids to overhang until the Maine statesman's IA
eial peculiarities caused a laugh. Every one
| could see that the sculptor was trying to catch
the sentiment Of the photograph. Finally he
knit his brows and went to work with great
earncstncss The nose was enlarged. the mouth
opened slightly, the lines at the nose deepened
and. as a look of hope appeared upon the face
! Mr. Herb bowed and retired amid burst of ap-
| plauSe. He had been at work just half hour
! why, he hasn't put any tattoo marks on the

! Mr. Blaine was tattooed like the man in Bar

Trustees had no money to buy in his

did not receive enough from the sales of
