her, which she took as her guide
through life.

LIE LIE BEN. HARRISON.
nv The Author on Ben Hur,

Gen. Lew Wallace we hear has
removed to indianapolis, and is busily
engaged writing biography OF his old
friend Gen. Ben. Harrison.
Rarely has so happy combination
been known as that resulting in the
issue of this work. Gen. Lew Wallace,
known the world over as the author of
"Ben Hur," is one of the Gen. HAIR
rison's lifelong and trusted friends,
and is also a distinguished soldier, n
trained statesmen, and diplomat of
high national reputation.
His name as author gives at once
the assurance OF n biography Of extra
ordinary merit.
His long intimate acquaintance with
his distinguished subject will
enable him to prepare rapidly an
authentic and deeply interesting BIZ
ography.
His largo experience in national
and international affairs fits him TO
treat Understandings and ably of Gen
eral Harrison's superb record rs q
and clearly to unfold the
principles held by him respecting the
science Of good government, anu the
weighty issues at stake in the present
great contest.
Gen. Wallace at first declined this
task but upon the urgent solicitation of
many eminent men Of the party, and
Gen. Harrison's assurance that every
thing needful should be placed at his
disposal, so as TO make it the strictly
authentic, and only authorized BIZ
Ography, he yielded to the call, and has
agreed to complete the work for
publication BIZ Hubbard Brothers Of
early in August.

Truth VIII be Unnermost.

Sometime ago many extravaganza
statements were made, charging my
brother, Grant Cundy, with INSIDE
meanor. and strange as it may seem.
his apparent friends were the ones who
exerted themselves most to circulate
these unfounded assertions, and who
seemed to be the most anxious to make
these false charges true. Believing
that all have had sufficient time to have
their sag about the matter (and surely
enough has been said). take this time
and means to publicly deny the severe
charges brought against the boy. Th lie
doing of it, however. gives me pain.
His manllness, prudence and self-pride,
his unquestionable reputation as a
young man of uprightness, integrity
and honesty, and his unimpeach-
able character should be sufficient
proof of his innocence. | will give
other proof, however, in publishing a
letter received from him recently.

Misses Mabel Seaton and Nellie Kin

Larned, of Glen Haven, departed on
Friday last to Angels Springs in Iowa,
to camp out for week or two. Their
male escorts are DIR. Geo. Kinney, of this
place and Henry Coons. of Dubuque.
Everybody and their relation are cor
daily invited to call and see them at
any time. But whoever calls must not
forget TO bring with them the ono thing
needful, refreshments. Angel Springs
is located near the lakes of the Father
of waters. about two or three miles
north of Speck's Ferry.
Messrs. Wagner, Asch & Horreg
now have full control of the pump dig
ing near the German Settlement, and
they informed us few days ago that
they had struck new crivice that has
never been worked, and as far as it has
been proved it is one of the finest veins
of mineral that has been struck any
where in the lead mines. We earnestly
hope that it may prove to be worth
millions to the boys, fer they are all tip
top good fellows and are deserving of
all this worlds goods that they can get.
They are at present putting down
new shaft ON their new creylce and from
all indications they will have to blast
the mineral out it will be so big. But
they say they will not sell any lead at
the present low prices and the query
with them is what causes lead to be so
low. Will someone pleas tell them.
We are sorry to chronicle the fact
that Stephen Weber is having very
poor health this summer, and therefore
John is staying at home and doing the
principle work on the farm. He has
the finest prospect for a good yield
of grapes of any one in this section of
country, unless we except Mrs. Ames and
Pluemer John has at odd times dur
ing the spring been putting new roof
on their barn and has built one of the
best sheds for stock that is to be found
anywhere.
We understand that the school
board has procured the service of Prof.
for the ensuing school
year. We hope he will be the right
man in the right place and that he will
be as successful rs his predecessors
ha We been.

The First Gun.


A large audience gathered at the
court house Tuesday evening to hear
Prof. James A. Tate, of Tennessee dis
cuss the political situation from Pro.
hibition standpoint. The bell had been
suitably tolled beforehand and the meet
ing was called to order by H. A. w.
McNair. A choir composed of Miss
Hattie Hyde, l.. j. Arthur, Esq, and
Prof. Cundy, sang "When the Glad Day
Comes, accompanied on the organ by
Miss Maud Garyey and followed by
prayer by Rev. S. S. Grinnell. The
choir was then augmented by Miss
Name Hyde and Miss Fannie Schmitt
when .'My country It's of Thee was
excellently rendered. Mr.. Arthur then
introduced Prof. Tate, man apparent
ly thirty years of age, with strong.
smooth shayen face, and manner of
conviction well calculated to lend force
to any democratic statement he might
feel disposed to make. If party could
slide up string of words to the pinnacle
of success the democratic party would
doubtless get there with both feet. True,
Mr.. Tate said he was not working for
that party, but he reiterated the state :
ment SO frequently that it looked as if
he doubted his own statement and was
trying to keep his courage up.
Two-thirds of the talk was devoted to
the love the Southerners had for the
Negro, and how willingly they accepted
the present situation. He spoke of how
in ante bellum days the ladies used to
visit the lowly cabins at night minister
ing to the sick. A new picture for the
North to contemplate. He also dwelt
on how the democrat on returning from
the war cursed the Yankees on finding
his home desolate. A statement that
would be likely to lessen Mr.. Tate's
campaign fund if it was heard by
northern democrats who do not like TO
be openly classed with the fighting
rebels.
Mr.. Tate has made the unique dis
covery that the same alphabet is utal-
lied in making up both the democratic
and republican platforms, but was dis
cretely silent ON the prohibition platform
which doubtless is made up of volapuck.
He did not feel called upon to explain
that peck of good potatoes could be
vastly different from a good peck OF
potatoes. And that is just where the
democratic and republican platforms
differ on the tariff question. One wants
tariff for revenue and protection, and
the other tariff for revenue only, with
the protection left OFT. In the line OF
astounding assertions Mr.. Tate has nc
peer. He says both the old parties must
die, and proceeds to explain the instru-
ment for their destruction. He gives
their relative strength as Is to II in
favor of the democrats and then cody
says that seven out of the thirteen
democrats are for temperance. If that
party's leaders ever laugh, now is their
time. They will never get better
opportunity. Then Mr.. Tate says,
what is more plausible, but yet largely
in excess, that seven of the twelve re-
publicans are for temperance. Then
he unites these two sevens and leaves
the two whiskey remnants to fall on
each Others necks and die of grief
This is the only possible hope he throws
out for the prohibition success, and the
utter nonsens of it makes comment
unnecessary.
