THAT BIG FEE.
The Attorneys Grab it Quick when
the Court is Re-cOnyened.
The Extra Session Next Wednesday.

Judge Winfree on Wednesday, in
response to petition from 256 voters
and taxpayers, issued a call for d
special session of the Court of Claims
to give the full court an opportunity
to vote upon the 5000 donation to
the L. d N. attorneys.
r When it became known that the
court was to be re-assembled and the
absentees given chance to vote on
the job, the resident members of the
late firm of Feland, Sites d Feland
held consultation and came to the
conclusion that 5000 bird in the
hand is worth a bird and a half in the
bush or in Court of Claims with its
eyes open. In other words they de
cided to reconsider their determine
ton not to accept less than 81 800 and
at once went to the Clerks Office and
had the order copied. This was pre-
sented to the Sheriff. Of course
it was not paid, as it must come out
Of the present levy and will not be
available for months. This step was
taken to legalize the matter and place
it beyond the power Of the Court 10
rescind the order.
Mr.. H. ]. Sites was seen yesterday
and explained his reasons for accept
ing what he regarded as small fee.
1t would have been an expensive,
troublesome and slow process TO take
the matter through the courts and
they thought best to accept the APP
preparation. He laughed at the idea
# not getting the money. ut is now
said he, beyond the power of the
Court of Claims to act on the matter
and the meeting Wednesday can
amount to nothing. II is now ques-
ton between us and the sheriff. II
he fails to pay the order, we will
simply get out mandamus and make
him pay it."
This seems to be about the size Of
il. About all the meeting next week
can do will be to give the absentees a
chance to go on the record; also to
settle the charge that they were
"tricked' into leaving, thereby making
it possible to get the job through
This big appropriation and the III
crease in county taxes, while not con
nected, are being taken together, and
some vigorous howls of disapproval
are being heard, and oil Of them are
not in town either. One of the mad
dest men we have seen was from
Longyiew, and in fact indignant tax
payers can be found all over the
county.
As we have before remarked, 5000
is quite large sum to throw at the
birds.

Breaking Everywhere.
The Mississippi levees are no longer

There are nine breaks below the
mouth of Red River, and the sugar
belt is doomed TO the worst overflow
since 1874. On the east side similar
breaks have flooded portions of five
parishes. AT Bayou Sara, La, nine
gaps are open on the Pointe Coupee
front and the situation in the south
western parishes is terrible. The peo-
pie have been driven out and Their
possessions swept away. Nine miles
above Baton Rouge the breaks are
beyond control and fifteen plantations
are under water. One young man
was drowned while escaping in skill
The breaks at Pointe Coupee will in
undate 700 square miles OF territory
Much damage is also being done be

The Wife OF Lew Wallace.

OF the more prominent writer's who
are singularly fortunate in their domes-
tic relations, the author of "Ben Hur"
is striking example. Herself a writer
of more than average ability, and pos
sessed of an accurate literary judg-
ment, Mrs. Wallace is an invaluable
assistant to her husband in his work.
She is tireless worker, rapid yet very
painstaking, and is an expert at proof
reading. General Wallace is himself
his severest critic, and after an incident
or chapter has been written, recast
probably dozen times, and criticised
from every standpoint, it is given to
Mrs. Wallace and runs the gauntlet Of
her critical judgment. There is q
singular harmony Of tastes between
the two, and in this wise the literary
partnership is productive of the most
satisfactory results. The home of the
Wallaces is in Charlottesville, Ind,
and contains every comfort. They have
already made great deal of money
with their pens, and are destined to
make much more. Almost anything
General Wallace chooses to write is an
assured success, and he can, therefore,
command high prices for his work.
The sales of @Ben Hur" alone have
brought him over $50, 900, and its sue
cess has also made "The Fair God" q
fast-selling book. For his @Boyhood Of
Christ" and his autobiography of Pres
ident Harrison he received very large
payments, while for his new novel he
will be paid what, to many, would be
q snug little fortune. For Mrs. Wal
lace's published works there is also
steady demand, so that this literary
couple manage remarkably well to Sc
cure huge share of the sweets of liz
erature

Too Observant.

Much is said in these DAYS about the
importance of training the young to
habits Of observation. 1t is well to
keep ones eyes open, but as there are
two sides to every shield, so there are
times when it is not mans first duty
to see everything that is going on.
A Southern planter hired a negro,
says an exchange, and put him into
his field to work. After while the
planter came along and accosted the
new hand:
@Did you see q coach go down the
road awhile ago."
Indeed I did, boss. One OBJ de
bosses was gray boss and de odder
was a roam, and lame in his off leg"
Il thought I heard some hunters over
there on the edge of the woods"
"Yes, boss One OBJ dem was Colonel
Jones; he was de tall one. De second
one was Major Peters, and de third
one was Tom McSnifter. Colonel
Jones had one OBJ dem new-fangled
breech-loadin' guns what breaks in
two"
did you see those wild pigeons fly
over just now?"
"See 'em? Guess 1 did! Oar was
nineteen oh 'em. Dey lit in dat old
cornfield down yender."
well, you see too much for a man
that is hired by the day. Here's your
wages. When I want a man to keep
watch of what is going Oh, I'll send
for you."

There was exhibited at the Office of
the Chicago Journal the other day .
historic relic of great interest, and one
which no money can buy of its present
owner. 1t consists of one of the many
canes that were presented to President
Lincoln during his memorable admin
istration. In 1862 there was sent to the
White House, in Washington, q cane
by some unknown admirer of the mar
tyred President. 1t was carved out of
piece of wood. and was marvellous
specimen of artistic work. 1t was so
unique and so different from the other
dent Lincoln, who appreciated the skill
and ingenuity displayed in the carving,
priced this particular walking-st
very highly, and cherished it among
his dearest mementos. 1t remained in
his personal belongings up to the time
of his assassination.
When Mrs. Lincoln and her family
left the White House this cane Was
among the more valued of the relics Of
the lamented President. Mrs. Lincoln
removed to Chicago and took up her
residence at hotel, which she made
her residence for long time. In tho
hotel was bright and faithful bell boy
named John Neterstrom. So attentive
and polite was he that Mrs. Lincoln
took great fancy to him, and would
allow no other boy to attend to her
wants. Young Neterstrom fully appre-
ciated the honor, and was very devoted
to Mrs. Lincoln during her long sojourn
at the hotel. When the time came for
her to leave she rewarded the faithful
boy by giving him this valued stick.
John Neterstrom is now q prominent
resident of Lake View, and nothing
among his household possessions Is
more valued or treasured than this
cane, and he is going to lend it to the
Libby Prison War Museum.
The cane, which is carved out Of
apple-wood, is surmounted by the
American eagle, from whose beak ex.
tends scroll that twines about the up
per portion of the stick. and bearing
the last words of Stephen A. Douglas
Stand by the Constitution OF the
United States" in raised letters. On
one side of the upper part of the stick
is full-length figure of President Lin
coin in bas-relief, the face being won
derfully life-hke. On the other parts
of the stick are cunningly and realistic
ally carved guns, knapsacks, caps,
helmets, pouches and other implements
of the war.

While at the postoffice in an Ohio
village 1 heard the report that q muir
derer had been captured, so L followed
the crowd to the lookup to learn more
about it, says writer. There I found
a prisoner whose every appearance
proved the professional tramp. He was
about 40 years of age, very cool, and
he greeted the charge of murder with
laugh. In short time he was taken
before justice of the peace for exam
1natlon, and l found seat in the
crowd. One look at the justice satis-
fed me that he realized the awful
gravity of the situation, and felt the
foundation-stone of the United States
resting on his broad back.
Prisoner, he began, don't trifls
with this court, for it won't be a.
lowed"
"Who's going to triHe9" was tho
answer.
Don't you do it, sir-don't you do
it! Now, then, do you want to con-
fess?"

"Cold- FLOODED murder"

"When?"
@Last night at 8 o'clock"
@Humph! How far is it to Cleve-
land, Squire ?"
Ninety miles,"
"And L slept all night in barn back
here. three miles.
"That's so, judge" said a farmer in
the crowd. HE came along at o'clock
last night and I let him in there"
"You are sure?"
Positive"
And you won't confess?" he asked
of the prisoner.
"How can I-being as I've done
nothing?"
"Very we'll; such obstinacy deserves
punishment, and I sentence you to the
county Jail for ninety days"
what for?"
"To prove to you that Justice never
sleeps, sir-never. You may think she
do, but she don't-she don't, sir. You
have been overtaken at last, sir-at
last, sir, and the constable will take
charge of the prisoner, and court is
adjourned"

Six years since-that is, one year before
my father died, and the subsequent
breakup of my home-Mr. and Miss
Lynton visited us at our place in Surrey,
and an ardent filtration between Edna
and myself was the result, though it
came to an abrupt and unfortunate end
ing. Afterward the father and daughter
went to reside in Jersey, and some six
months ago 1 had seen Mr.. Lynton's
death recorded in the Times. Vaguely
wondering what had become of Edna, 1
heard incidentally she had gone out as a
goveness, and, if the truth must be told,
dismissed the matter from my thoughts
as entirely as believed l had dismissed
her image from my heart.
That the girl I had just seen was Edna
Lynton felt as certain of as of the fact
that she pretended not to know me. But
how can a gentleman insist on an &C.
quaintance which lady virtually denies?
My only course was to wait as patiently
as could for the unraveling of the mys-
terious circumstances in which l appeared
suddenly to have become involved.
