county had a better reputation for
veracity and upright dealing than NJ. R.
Hansen. He was held in high esteem
by all, the rich and poor alike trusted
him as they would a brother. For many
years he was chairman of the town of
Seneca, and a year ago was strongly
urged by his party to accept the nomi
nation for member of the assembly,
where the nomination was equivalent to
an election, but he declined on the
grounds that he did not have the time
to make the canvass. He was a strong
temperance man, an indulgent husband
and kind father.
ASSETS.
Mr.. Hansen, in his fight, left 1000
acres of good farming land easily worth
$4,000, and his mercantile stock and
personal property sold the past week at
sheriff sale for $1,000 If the above
figures are accurate as to his liabilities,
his shortage really is only $50, 900. How
ever that is, it's bad enough.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES.

There will be union services at the
Unity Church, Centralia, Thursday
morning at 10:30 O'Clock. Rev. Churm
has been invited to presch and will
occupy the pulpit on that day. It is
hoped that the church will be filed to
overfiowing. The memb- rs of Unity
Church feel extremely thankful at this
time because the last dollar of indebted
ness on their property has been wiped
out

The books do not show all Of the
above, as there are many outstanding
notes and other evidences of indebted
ness not shown on the books.
TOOK FIFTY THOUSAND WITH HIM.
Some of Mr.. Hansen's friends land
he still has many friends here) are of
the opinion that all the money he took
with him was the 81, 800 he collected at
Rockford but the evidences do not show
this. They cannot explain what has be-
come of this $4,000. No such an
amount could have been legitimately
lost in the small business be has been
doing the past two years, even making
all due allowances fer the amount he
had to pay as purchase money. The
assets are merely nominal. After the
labor liens, amounting to 81 900, and the
other secured accounts have been paid,
nothing Will remain for the general
creditors. If Mr.. Hansen has not got
the money with him, what has become
of it? The amounts he paid his laborers
were largely in goods from his store,
upon which he made handsome profit
He was in the habit of borrowing all the
money he could from his laborers; and
one of his men he induced to sell his
little house in La Crosse and let Hansen
have the money. Now the man has
nothing to show for years of toll and
self-denial, undergone to enable him to
pay for little spot he could call home.
SAID TO HAVE BEEN SEEN IN IDAHO.
Hansen was born in Norway, coming
to this country when quite young, and
is about 40 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches
in height, of rather slim build, with
broad shoulders in proportion to his
build. He stands straight as an arrow,
has sandy hair and usually wears a
moustache of same color, has light blue
eyes, and smooth, regular features,
somewhat Drowned In talking, a close
observer will notice a slight tremor or
roll of the upper lip. He speaks Eng
lish with only slight foreign accent,
and in talking pauses to choose the
words of a sentence and then speaks
them rapidly one after another. He is
married, having wife and three inter
esting children living here. The last
seen of him was at Perry, Iowa, from
which point he sent his wife $3.50. 1t is
reported that he was seen at Genessee,
idaho, on Oct. %, but this report is
generally discredited No man IN Wood

DEATH OF MRS. u. G. ST. AMOUR.

After a lingering illness of several
weeks duration, the results of painful
operation Mrs. U. c. St. Amour was
obliged to succOmb to that condition or
change (which will sooner or later over
take us alb which we call death. She
suffered intensely for several weeks be-
fore her demise She was taken sick
July 5th, and three operations were
performed with the hope of getting re-
lief, but each operation left the patient
worse. She died on Wednesday, the
18th inst, at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. st. Cyr, at No. 2035, Portland Ave,
Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Mrs. St. Amour was born in st. Paul,
Mimi, and was 81 years of age at the
time of her death She was married to
Mr.. ST. Amour in Henderson, Mimi,
where her parents then resided. She
was mother of three children, Albert
and Oswald whose headquarters are in
Chicago, and Mrs. st. Cyr, of Minneap-
oils, all of whom were present with her
in her last hours, and survive her. Her
remains were brought to this city Fri
day morning attended by the three
children who were met at the depot by
large number of friends. The re-
mains were taken directly to the
Catholic Church where the funeral ser
vices were held. Her remains were
deposited in Forest Hill Cemetery
along side of those Of her husband who
preceded her two years ago. The
three children who are well known in
the twin cities have the sympathy of q
host of old time friends.

sold the seasons cut of pine lumber at
his mill to Z. G. Boynton, of La Crosse,

TLle Lord Told Her 70 SIM

The Baptist chapel at L~eytonstone was
crowded on Sunday because of an an
nOuncement that Madam Antoinette
Sterling would sing during the service.
She not only sang, but at the prayer
meeting which followed joined in prayer
and delivered d short address. It may
not be generally known that the famous
c~ontralto is a believer in the doctrine Of
the Inward Light.
a pretty story is told about her in this
connection. She was present at one of
the Quaker meetings at Devonshire
square, and the brethren and sisters re-
manned some long time without the
spirit moving any Of them to u~tterance.
At last Madam Sterling got up and sang
80 Rest IL the Lord" which created no
small stir. The clerk afterward ap-
preached her, and said, ''Thee knowest,
sister, it's against the rules; but if the
Lord telleth thee to sing, thee must!"
1t wa probably through her recollec-
ton Of this incident that Mrs. Margaret
Lacy, the sister of that old tribune of
the people, John Bright, called in her
last illness for the singing sister"
Needless to say, Madam Sterling went.

Getting OIL from Smoke.

1t appears that in Scotland there is a
company which pays a certain amount
yearly to a number Of iron works for the
privilege Of collecting the smoke and
gases from the blast furnaces. These
are passed through several miles of
wrought iron tubing, and as the gases
cool there is deposited a considerable
yield Of oil; n plant is reported to yield
$1,000 gallons Of furnace oil per week.
The sun paid for this privilege is such
as to be profitable, it is said, to both par
ties. The oil thus obtained is distilled,
and a considerable quantity of cresol,
phenol and some other substances are
procured from it, while the oil remain
ing is used as al enricher Of gas for illu-
minating purposes.-New York Sun.

How Nature Distributes Her Gifts.


When you and l get rich, my dear, as
some day we surely shall, what are we
| going to DO with all our money! We
will hunt up some Of the improvident
ones, those who could never make the
two ends meet, those who through good
heartedness, or lack of forethought or
unselfgh desire to make other folks hap
Ply, have never laid by a cent, and we
VIII give those silly people such a good
time they viii carry its impress all
through their after lives, as d pat Of but
ter carries the print. We Will slyly pay
the bills for ilnprOvident mes who have
grown gray in the effort to make a de-
cent funeral for dead horses. They shall
forget how to spell ''care" and their new
and happy dialect shall know no such
words as "monthly payments" right
eous dues" or cant afford it,"
am convinced hat as a rule it is not
the sweet hearted people who take on
this worlds gain. There is many a poor
beggar with not a change Of linen to his
back who would make a more royal
host, had the smiling face Of fortune
turned his way, than the rightful owner
of the vast estates at whose gate he
stands and begs. The big hearts too
often go with the empty purse, and the
little, wiZened, skinfint souls, that it
would take a thousand Of to crowd the
passage through the eye Of a needle,
gain all the golden favors of the god Of
plenty.-ChicagO Herald.

The Courtesy OF Assassins.

It will be remembered that some time
ago Mr.. Constantine Belcheff, the min
lister OF finances, was unskillfully shot
and killed while walking in the streets
Of Sofia in company with II. Stambul6f,
the prime minister. It was thought at
the time that NJ. Belcheff was the victim
Of mistaken identity, and this belief has
been confirmed by the following apology
which has been carved on his tombstone:
Forgive US; we aimed at Stambuloff
and struck you. The second time we
will not ail."-General N. NJ. TrumbuIl
in Open Court.

RabtiZinC Bells.

An extraordinary feature in the career
of bells is their undergoing the process OF
baptism before being used. This cere-
mony is performed by the Roman Cath
olic3 at the present day, who say that
the bells thus receive power to act as
p~reaervatiyes against thunder and light
ming and storms. An humber rite is
observed in the Protestant church, and
the celebrations which take place are
more Of a jovial than a religious charac-
ter. -Exchange.
