From the Chronicles
A number Of the Young friends Of
Master Johnny Williams, gathered
at the residence of his parents, Mr.,
and Mrs. John n. Williams, on
Wednesday Of last week, and sur
prised him with q handsome dona-
uon of money as a token of their
sympathy with him in his misfortune,
he having met with al accident last
spring by which he was laid up all
summer.
James Cleminson's young son
Bert, about S years old, climbed on
the hind end of a passing buggy on
Tuesday, and fell backward, his foot
catching under the spring and he
was dragged on the ground at a
rapid rate for several rods, and was
considerably bruised and his foot
was slightly sprained, but he suf-
fered no serious injury from his
perilous adventure.
From the sun
The Supreme Court has ordered a
new trial Of the case of c. w.
Goldsworthy VS. the town of Lin
den. The case was tried here and
intff got $4,000 The circuit
court denied new trial ON the
grounds of newly discovered evil
deuce which was claimed to prove
that the team was running away at
the time the injury happened, and
the supreme court oyerrules this aud
grants new trial. The suit was
for damage by reason of defective
highway.
There is something of a mystery
connected with the Blue Mounds.
IL is a sort of roaring that is often
heard by people when ut little
distance from the Mound. 1t is
sometimes heard rs loudly as q rush
ing train, yet it is never heard by
any one when on the summit, aud is
most commonly heard only by those
south and east of the elevation.
This is not a new mystery, for II
has been heard ever and anon since
the whites first came To this region.
Therefore II IA permanent pheuome-
ma. Various explanations have
been advanced. Hidden volcanoes,
caverns, ETC.; but the most generally
received theory is that in the heart
of the old mound there is a penLuI

JUVENILE burglars were at work

from eight to twelve years old were
seen lowering around the rear of the
building that afternoon, and some
seen to go in. They indulged in
taking cigars, plug tobacco, fire
crackers and candy; nothing else
has been found disturbed. The
guilty boys are known, and Mr..
Uren has secured some of the stolen
goods. Respect for parents and the
tender age of the miscreants make
it hard to decide how to punish, but
they are a remarkably tough set for

A G. A. R. SENSATION.
Private Dalzell Unearths a DefauItinc
Treasurer

CALDWELL, O., Dec. 2S-The greatest
sensation of the Christmas season here is
the defalcation and embS zzlement uuearthed
by Private Dalzell in the grand army post
in this city. For some years there have
been strong suspicious that all was not
straight in the accounts of the treasurer of
the soldiers memorial fund. but it was kept
dark by interested parties until Private
Daizeil was elected commander of the post
week ago, for the express purpose Of
deIvlng into the true inwardness of
the steal He has just succeeded in
getting at the bottom of it, and
made 1t public to your correspondent to-day.
Some years ago fund was raised to
build a soldiers memorial hall here. AID
left in charge of Henley E. Peters as treas
1rer of the corporation, who stood in conf
Dental relations with other officers of the
corporation, who stood in with him and
kept 1t covered very snugly until now.
They are deep in the mud as he in the
mire. He was confronted to-day and con.
fessed that he had appropriated the entire
fund to his own use. Mr.. Peters was for
two terms clerk of the court of this county.
and until detected in these peculations
stood we'll in the community. The deepest
regret is expressed on all sides at the dis
covery of this rascality, but the grand
army post is especially chagrined and
mortified at the scandal The crime is a
penitentiary offense, aad steps will be
taken to convict all who are implicated
with the defaulting treasurer of the cor
poration.
The amount of the defalcation runs to
about 81, $780, with no bond-a clean loss to
the grand army. The former officers so
stood in with the defaulter that they virtu-
ally kept each other in Office to cover IN
the steal year after year, and required no
bond for obvious reasons. But the old
private got after the thieving gang. and
they were his meat in less than week.

Corn Husks for Cloth and Paper.

One of the best utilized waste products in
Australia is said to be corn husks. These
are boiled with an alkal in tubular boilers.
The glutinous matter is pressed out from
the fiber by hydraulic apparatus, leaving
the fibers in the shape of a
mass or chain of longitudinal threads, in
terspersed with dense mass of short fbers.
The paper for which mostly the short
tibers are used-the long fibers constr
tuting the material for spinning-is stronger
than papers of the same weight made from
linen or cotton rags. its hardness and firm
ness of grain exceeding that of the best
dipped English drawing papers, being
especially adapted for pencil drawing,
stenographic writing. and water colors !:
its durability exceeds, it is claimed. that
of paper made from any other material
and the corn-husk parchment is not at
exposed points destroyed by insects. If the
gluten is left in the pulp the D per can be
made extremely transparent. Again. the
fiber is easily worked, either alone or in
combination with rags, into the finest
writing or printing papers; it also very
readily takes any tint or color, ami can be
worked almost 10 as much advantage into
stout wrapping papers of superior quality
as into line note and envelope papers,

ST. LOUIS, Def 2S.--Michael Boland. the
husband of ST Louis wife and the father
of twelve st. Louis children, has been
located at Bright Star, Ark, spending
second honeymoon with 16-year- old bride.
Several months ago Boland, who is a

and work on the levee. Shortly after his
arrival there his wife ceased to hear from
him, and about three weeks ago she re-

while in skif on the Arkansas river and
was killed.
She did not think of doubling the letter,
and put in claim for $3.50 insurance on his
life, carried in the Prudential company
The company proceeded to investigate, and,
strange to say, letter written there
brought another from Sheriff Brown saving
that Boland had been knocked out of the
skiff and hoated down stream, where he
was picked up by a steamer and taken to
New Orleans, dying there in the hospital.
The New Orleans authorities were commu-

patient had been received there at any time.
The wife's suspicious were aroused, and she
called on the st. Louis police, who began a
search for the truant spouse. They finally
located him at Bright Star, from which
place he had never departed, basking in the
smiles of young bride. Mrs. Boland will
sue for a divorce, and the old man will be
prosecuted for bigamy.
