I. L. Crompton, near Joslin. has two
teams for sale. They are young. war
ranted perfectly sound and healthy, art
broken TO any kind OF farm work and
have good action upon the roads. Two
OF the horses are Clydesdsles. one -four

On Friday last there was an old peo>
Piles surprise party upon Mr.. and Mrs.
George Clark, OF Coe. who are leaving
their old home which they have sold. and
have bought farm in Audubon county
Iowa. Thirty six of their old neighbors
gathered In. bringing provisions and TAX
ing the family fairly by surprise. A very
handsome hanging lamp was given TO
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarke. G. Wake making
the presentation speech. Mr.. Clark re-
sponded in a very feeling and appropriate
manner. thanking his neighbors and
friends for the manner In which they had
shown their respect that day. He should
never light that lamp and look up at II
without remembering them. He gave all
present an invitation To call and see them
in Iowa, and he hoped If they should
never meet again on earth, they might
meet in heaven. The party departed for
their homes after having had one Of the
most jovial times Imaginable.

We shall expect new bridge over Rock
river at Angeles ferry. II costs us forty
cents 10 cross with a team, so a free

A protracted meeting is now In session

On "wednesday evening last there was
a SUNRISE party at t h. residence Of Mr..
w Nicholson, of Coe, upon his son
Miles who is going west. Ever room 10
the house was crowded.
Mr.. II. Crompton will leave for Sac

And so Judge Woods decides that the
mere sending by one To another of let.
ter or document containing advice to bride
voters or setting forth scheme for such
bribery, is not indictable. Judge Woods
instructions are regarded as dismissal
OF the Dudley cases from the further con-
sideration of the jury. Great indigna-
ton Is expressed by the friends of a pure
ballot at Dudley's escape through tech
nicslity. Judge Woods is a repu blican
and his complete change is not to be
wondered at. But is it possible that
such man as Dudley can now be ad-
mitted into decent society and looked
upon as worthy citizen Of the United
statess Should not such scamps as bud
ley and Clarkson he disfrsnchisedf
IL protection is to be the rule, WHY
should it not be protection all the way
rosndf Why should not the farmers re-
ceive bounty of one cent per pound on
hogs and five cents per bushel on cornf
Would not that be good way to get the
money out of the treasury Would not
that be simply the robbers putting the
money back from where they stole its

The ARGUS correspondent at Hillsdale
seems to be under the impression that
"Multum In Parvo" has a grudge against
Mrs. DR.. Andrews Nothing of the kind.
/ was present at her talk and consider
/ gave q faithful, unbiased report OF the
main points she advanced. Her temper
ance lecture was simply q claim that in
temperate men can be reformed by kind
ness and that there is no need OF pro-
hibitory law. | admit some men may be
reformed by kindness; but then there are
thousands upon thousands whose crav-
ings are so strong for Intoxicating drinks
that they will have them il within their
reach. And yet ] have heard some of
these men wish there was not drop
within thousand miles. When we get
through reforming one OF these men by
kindness. there will be another batch
ready for US. Teddy O'Flannigan, said
the judge. you are to be locked up thir
~ days for drunkenness" Mrs. OFlan
nigan, who was in court, replied: "Piaze
yer honor. wouldn't it be more sinsible to
lock up the whisky and let Pat gOH" Do

1t will be some consolation to the poor
laboring man Of the country to be In,
formed that the tariff upon pearls has
