which large space is given to abuse of d, NJ
IL 4, &. Halbert, the news Of whose failure rs
merchants in that city year ago was receiv-
ed with SO much regret by their many friends
in Ottawa The abuse Of the scurrlous sheet
in question must be harmless If its other
statements are as wide OF the truth as the one
that the IIalberts had failed some twenty
years ago while engaged in the mercantile bu-
siness in Ottawa and left here under cloud.
That is shameful falsehood. The IIalberts
carried on heavy business here for some
years in the dry goods and boot and shoe
trade, and we're so successful that when they
turned their business over to others and left
here to return 10 their old New York home it
was well understood that they took with them
quite a comfortable pile" Their credit dur
ing ther entire business career in Ottawa was
maintained at the highest notch, and rs live bu-
sncss men and public spirited citizens, as well
as in all the social relations no people ever
stood higher in Ottawa than the Halbers.

A Lucky Pool.

About the first of March twenty-sev-
en- workmen at the West Milwaukee
shops of the st. Paul road, nearly all of
whom were employed in the paint de-
partment, conceived the idea of trying
their luck in the forthcoming drawing
OF the Louisiana state lottery. With
the exception of one or two, who took
two chances, the men each contributed
one dollar, which was invested In tick
cts and a pool formed. The drawing
took place at New Orleans on the 18th
inst, and q few days afterwards Henry
Rivers, foreman of the railway company
paint shops, who had been intrusted
with the matter, received advices from
Mr.. Dauphin, president Of the Louis
lana lottery, that ticket No. IA, 467 had
drawn the first capital prize of $4,000,
one-ffth of the ticket being held by the
Milwaukee pool, emitting the members
to $4,000. Last week Tuesday) the
money was paid to Mr.. Rivers through
the Marine and Fire Insurance com
pany's bank. The windfall has been
divided among the fortunate investors,
each receiving $3.50. 80. The men we're
highly elated over their unexpected
good fortune, and the promptness with
which the money was paid by the lot
terry management. Nearly every cento1
the money has been invested In home
steads. A Wisconsin reporter made q
search for the names of the lucky men,
but several who were seen refused to
talk about their lucky streak. -Milwau-
