We learn that Attorney Keller has
been retained on cases to come up
before the court at Sioux City. He
was also attorney in several cases
that were heard at Vermillion last
week, and he is usually on one side
or the other Of nearly every case
that comes before the court here.
Mr.. Keller has never had the hand
of politics to help to extend his ac-
quaintance and practice and it is
therefore that we take this method
of complimenting him on his wide
practice, built up wholly by hard
work and honorable dealing.

The fact that all the pupils who
had been fortunate enough to re-

write this, for the benefit of some
who have taken 1t upon themselves
to be his personal enemies and have
therefore tried to prove the contrary
to be true. We know whereof we

Public Examiner Blanchard in
terviewed the officers ut the court
house, one day this week. If the
books are not properly kept, some
provision Of the law not complied
with, or there is reason to believe
some fraud has been committed
whereby the county has lost money
it is his sworn duty to investigate
such matters, without cost to the
county. We therefore look for a
complete exposition Of the "repub.
lican steal" in the near future, since
he was doubtless informed by the
| present officers that such a thing ex.
ists. We also expect an official
notice of the fact that the records oil
the republican thieves" have been
destroyed and cannot be found
to cover up their tracks, if that ID
true as has Leen reported and Ii
believed by many throughout this
county.

The Governor has designated Fri
day, the first day of May, as Arbor
Day, and suggests that the day be
devoted to the planting OF forest
trees, to increase the average of for
ests On our prairies. He suggests
that public grounds be mole espec-
tally looked after, and urges the OBJ
servence of that day by scholars at
school. Trees are needed on nearly
all the school grounds of this county
and teachers and scholars could
spend the day profitably, in setting
them out. School officers should
see that the proper steps are taken
to have the grounds in suitable
condition.

friends for the holidays. Much time and
trouble can be spared in this direction how
ever by sgoing into Saur & Balsley's Drug
and Book House and take look through
their fine stock of holiday goods where they
hardly fail to see that which will at once at
tract their attention in such way that they
will have no further trouble in trying to
think some up, but will see that which will
be satisfactory, in price and quality as well
as every other way. This house carries a
very large and complete line of holiday
goods, which need only to be seen to be ap-
preciated. The photograph albums, the
books, the toilet cases, in fact everything is
more beautiful and much cheaper than ever
before. The sale book is being continued

replenish their Libraries or to start new ones,
will be able to get good first-class literature

Henry Binger, farmer from Freedom
township, drove to Napoleon Friday after
noon to market a load of corn with little
thought of being taken home corpse.
Yet such was his fate.
He had unloaded the corn at Vocke's mill
and was atout to replace the eLd-gate when
he suddenly fell to the ground shape
less mass of clay. Physicians were at once
summoned but life was extinct, the man hav-
ing died almost instantaneously
Coroner Bitter was summoned who after
viewing the remains pronounced verdict
of death from heart trouble. Such was un-
doubtedly the cause of his death, although
his relatives say that he was never, to their
knowledge, troubled with heart failure in any
form.
The remains were taken to his late home
in Freedom township, where nine orphans
awaited the return, the mother having died
but few months previous.
The funeral ceremonies we're held at the
Lutheran church in Freedom tp., Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. Fisher oficiat-
ing.
Mr.. Binger was one OF the most enterprls-
ing farmers in Henry county and his loss is
indeed severe one to his many children who
can ill afford to dispense with fathers care
just now, the greater number of them being
young. The deceased was 55 years of age.

The Lyons Comedy Company closed
very successsfu! week here Saturday even
ing. notwithstanding that the dullest week
for theatricals is acknowledged to be the
one prior to the Holidays, when it is diff
cult for the people to lay out money for
both shows and gifts. As a general rule
the former is given the go-by, but the Ly-
ons Company is not sorrowing under this
misfortune for it received a very good pat
ronage and the people who attended speak
highly of the company's worth.
Mr.. Lyons, owner and manager of the
company, is thorough stage man, an all
around actor and gentleman who is in
every respect credit to the profession. It
is with pleasure that their return here next

christmas al the Churches.

Here centers the commo interest on this
greatest of holidays-an interest and antlcI-
patton shown not only by the pupils OF the
Sunday schools but also the parents who
visit the entertainments given not for the
purpose of seeing their children edo well'
but to witness scenes that carry them back
to the halcyon days of youth when such
exercises we're participated in by themselves.
It is in consideration of what the day has
been as we'll as what it is that lends it an at
traction, separate and apart from other holi-
days.
All the Sunday schools will observe the
day in one way or other.
The Presbyterians will furni sh the little
ones with sweat-meats and small presents
while the children, assisted by older folks
will give an entertainment consisting of the
usualsongs, recitations, etc.
This will, practically, be the observance by
the Methodists.
Tne st. Paul's Lutheran church will give
first class entertainment supplemented
with a Christmas tree from which will be
given presents and candy for the Sunday
school; also, the privilege Of any pGfent to
bestow presents on their children through
this medium.
The Emanual Church will also commemo-
rate the evening with well planned enter
tainment and distribution of presents in the
same manner as the st. Paul's.
The Evangelical Church services will not
differ materially from those of the Other
churches save they will take place on
Christmas night while the others are billed
for Christmas eve. Entertainment and
presents is their program.

Delightful Entertainment.

At the Opera House, Wednesday night,
December 3Oth, Reno & Fords comedians
will appear in "Joshua Simpkins," one of
the most amusing plays before the public.
Tho management have aimed at the highest
pinnacle of the true Yankee comedy and be-
lieve they have succeeded in reaching this
end. Plot, story and dramatic consistency
have not been sacrificed for mere horse play
meaningless situations, but are based on
facts in connection with Down East Yankee
life. which portrayed in its purity, is funny
enough in itself to bring down the house at
any time. The cast is composed of ladies
and gentlemen who have been selected with
reference to strong rendition of the parts
assigned them. They carry fine band aud
orchestra, the latter being highly spoken of
wherever they have appeared.
Reserved seats now open at Saur d Balls
ley's drug store without extra charge.

A Costly Promise.

Emily B. Weber has filed petition in the
Common Pleas Court praying for three
thousand dollars from George Flogaus,
living in Napoleon twp. She maintains
that he at one time faithfully promised to
do the marriage act, but after she had
waited and refused other offers of marriage,
he refused to comply with the agreement
and will not marry her. Considering that
she has reached that age when the question
of marriage or not should not be treated
most lightly, she thinks that $4,000 would be
about the sum to reimburse her for damages
done. Fred Prentis is her attorney.

La Grippe.

A number of cases of grip" have devel-
oped in this locality within the past week
or ten days, and although not as severe as
the past two seasons, yet it is fully as
tenacious. We believe that the Irishman
was right when he said that the troublesome
afiiction was properly named, as he knew
from experience that "he was sick wild it tree
wakes afther he had been cured of it intoire-
Iy." By dressing comfortably and eIer-
cising due precaution against exposure,
much sickness can be avoided.
