The Case OF VIM. p. Fisher.

Some few days ago telegraphic reports
were printed from Fargo, N. D., OF the ar
rest Of Rev. VIM. P. Fisher of that city,
formerly of Brunswick. at Dss Mones, Ia,
upon charge of forgery. Beyond few
meagre details no information could be Sc
cured although all of Mr.. Fishers friends
felt sure that there must be some mistake
about the matter. Further Invest LEGATION
made by paper in Fargo shows that the ar
rest was the result Of spite against Mr..
Fisher and that the charge of forgery was
brought because be had placed his name on
certain title deed for real estate believing
that be had the right to do SO, when in fact
he had not. Tie technical crime of which
he was guilty was not the result of intention
but OF ignorance of business affairs.

Miss Cameron has all the phi ysica, attri-

lowed her with face and figure of great
beauty. with eyes whose liquid depths ex-
press all the shades of emotion as the ocean
depths reflect the light of the sun and stars.
Her voice Is sympathetic and sweet beyond
description, full of power and pathos, and
leaves In the hearts Of her audience sympa-

tasteful, and Camille has never before

pable OF faithfully filling every ideal of this
