A Distressing Accident

About two weeks ago George VIM
jumped from wagon upon a wire
nail, which had been left in board in
the yard at his home, with such force
as to run the nail through one of his
shoes and almost through the feshy
part of that foot. The wound was care
fully dressed, as Georges mother has
always felt dread of lockjaw, and in
the course of week the hurt seemed
30 well healed that young Winn went
out of doors and about very much as
usual. Last Saturday George devel-
oped a peculiar case of sore throat
and not experiencing any relief from
ordinary remedies, one of his sisters
consulted DR.. Finn on Monday follow
ing, and that gentleman made an ex-
animation and found symptoms of the
dread disease, lock-jaw. The symp-
toms grew more pronounced on Tues
day, and at this writing the worst re,
suits are feared by the many friends
of the unfortunate young man.

The NJ sonic Entertainment.

The nearest approach to a blizzard
that has visited this locality so far, had
the bad taste to develop last Friday
afternoon, and thus seemingly frown
on the date fixed by the Masonic fra
ternity for their public installation
and entertainment. Fortunately there
was no snow on the ground for the
wintry zophyrs to toy with, and when
nightfall came the severity of the wind
had abated somewhat, though not
wholly SO. 1t was not allowed to cast
any damper on the enjoyment of the
evening, at any rate. Every seat in
the lodge room was in demand during
the installation exercises, which were
conducted by Grand Steward w. F.
Dickinson as the installing officer. At
the opening and closing, the exercises
were enlivened by singing by quar-
tette composed of Mrs. O. w. McMil-
Ian and Miss Carrothers, and Messrs.
Ed. Houck and Dewitt Martin, with
Mrs. Cooper at the organ. The follow
ing were respectively installed accord
ing to the ritual of the order:
Geo Drake, w. NJ; E. D. French,
S. W.; David Whittet, j. w.; Geo.
Crooks, Treas; o. w. Mcmillan, Sec.;
J. H. Bowers, S. D.; A. G. Schmahl,
]. D.; S. S. Drake, S. S.; Jos. Tiffany,
is; w. S. Clayson, Tyler.
After the last of these had been in
stalled, DR.. Case, of Waterville, recited
poem in praise of the Masonic en-
blem, the lambskin apron. The pre-
siding officer extended a cordial well
come to the guests of the evening, en-
joining them to make themselves at
home and enjoy themselves. After
which the members in regalia filed
out of the room and stacked arms,
SO to speak, soon returning to join in
the social half hour which ensued
The younger portion OF the company
did not linger, but proceeded tc
Huntington hall, where dancing was
soon in happy progress. A large com
pany remained to test the good things
in the banquet hall, and although full
ly two hundred people paid their re
spects to the tables during the even
ing, there was ample provision TO
their wants, and baskets of stores lef
at the close. By happy inspiration
the committee in charge ministered t.
the eye as well as to the grosser tastes
with profusion of dollhouse flower
procured for the evening, a button-hol'
bouquet in addition being furnished
to every lady guest.

at was Borrowed Axe."-Weldon VS.
Smith.
Ed. GAZETTE: In the last issue of
your paper an article signed by "Abe
Weldon" the writer being unknown,
his name not appearing, calls for just a
few words from me as to that Gun
righteous decree" The jury of twelve
are the ones to answer that. The JUS
tice had only to see that their decree
was obeyed. This we did. About event
ing our spleen;' we have not shown
any. When Abram Weldon and Lew
Hammond, white with rage, came into
my Office, and, in substance, said, ave
will see that you lose from twelve to
fifteen more subscribers, and one or
two $40 ads.," the party dealing in
"spleen" is discovered. Further, when
A. w. Parker came into my office and
asked for money to assist one of his
family, it was cheerfully given. Any
spleen" shown? Now for that quo
tation: "Let up on me, make scape-
goat of that fellow" Such choice ex-
pressions as "odious," "by-word," "eye
sore" dead beat" etc., coupled with
the charge that Eye editor is famous
for dragging private affairs into pub
lic," makes these quotations strangely
queer, and these professions about
dragging "private affairs into public, y
remarkably inconsistent. He says,
''the first man to say aught against Mr.,
Weldon is ye editor" Respecting the
expressed request of several good men
in this village and vicinity, we cannot
use their statements to prove the falls
ity OF this assertion.
To conclude, I quote again, There
fore, l say l did not say, nor promise
as you say I did, except 1 will admit
that you did alter your judgment as
you say" We all agree on the judy
ment question it seems. Now to the
first part, Weldon did promise to pay
those costs, at the time, in the place
and to me, as l have before asserted
Two slight circumstances will show
Abe Weldon up in a very peculiar
light. In the presence of witnesse.
Abe Weldon made, at two differen
times in substance, this statement, il
my Office: "You may have though
what l said was meant for a promis'
to pay, but I was very careful what
said. have no doubt but what 20,
took it that way" Will he deny max
ing this statement! Take your choic
between the man who denies his prom
Use, and admits using deception. Again
j. H. Weldon, his father, while thresh
ing this fall, stated to gentleman
that Abe had guaranteed to pay, o
had "gone BALI for those corts. Query
How did Abe Weldon's father know
this damaging fact7 In this way NJ
doubt: j. H. Weldon was in DR.. Gran
dall's Office when Abe Weldon cam
into my Office. He knew the matte
must be settled. Naturally when Alb
left my Office he went directly acros
the street and related to his fathe
what had transpired. Plain, isn't it
Now we leave the "eye sore" AM
the twenty-year-old resident with hi
contradictory stories and statements
} along with his fathers, to the com
munity where he lives and has made
character and ask, How do you ik
the new character he has made?

For q Mild Winter

fOr n NA1lo WINTER.
The venerable, blind Minnesota
weather prophet, Martin N. Kellogg,
in the course of recent interview,
said: "Contrary to the expectations of
many, the winter of 1890 81 will not be
by any means severe or prolonged. We
shall probably have a general freeze
up soon after the 10th of the present
month, which will be followed by a
fall of snow sufficient to provide good
sleighing, so that we may expect to
hear the sleigh bells jingle merrily
during the Christmas holidays. There
will be cold snap about the 18th or
Both inst, and another cold wave may
be looked for before the 18th of Janu-
ary. Between the dates named the
coolest weather of the season will &C.
cur. It takes 10 degrees below zero
to freeze the river in midstream, and,
as this has not happened so far this
winter, we certainly cannot complain
OF excessive severity.

recovery are good.
The following letter from LIE Sueur
county man appeared recently in the
Farm, Stock and Home. The subject
presented is well worthy of attention
in all localities, and the legislature can
more proftably devote attention to it
than to remodeling the statues in 9TH
or directions in which the public have
less interest:
1 have been doing much { ling this
season through the central and south
ern portion of this state, and to say
that our wagon roads are disgrace to
our people is stating it mildly. The
custom of working out" our road tax
is failure. l have given this matter
much thought during the past three
months, and have made it subject of
conversation in nearly every farm house
where spend my evenings and nights,
and it has surprised me to find with
what unanimity farmers agree that
road taxes should be paid in cash and
the work done by contract. The law
bearing on working" our highways
should be repealed by the next legisla-
ture and one substituted that will con-
vert this custom of the dark ages into
methods in keeping with the improve
ments that have come 20 us farmers in
every other department of our voca-
ton. "How shall we improve our
wagon roads," is now timely and ap-
propriate text for discussion at all
farmer gatherings, and it is to be hoped
our farmers institutes will make it 8
prominent feature of its work during
the coming winter. Certain it is, moth.
ing is of more importance to the agri
cultural class.

A touching scene was witnessed in
Burlington cemetery, Canada last
Memorial day. The members of Col.
w. w. Cooke post, in Grand Army
uniform and wearing the badges of
the order, marched to the Gene ery
and assembled around the grave of the
gallant i. Cooke, after whom the
post was named, and with bowed heads
covered the grave of the illustrious
soldier with q hack-load of flowers.
The venerable chaplain of the post
read the ceremonies prepared for the
occasion, Comrade j. N. Lowell
delivered an eloquent address,
and thus in a foreign land
little band of the veterans of
the union army assembled to decorate
a comrades grave. Col. WV. Cooke,
at whose grave the interesting cere-
mony was performed, was d son of
Mrs. A. III. Cooke of Chicago. When
quite boy he entered the army and
was in the Ninth Army corps under
Gen. Burnside. After leaving the
volunteer army he became identified
with the Seventh cavalry regiment of
the regulars, and as may be remem-
bered was killed at Little Big Horn
some years ago. Col. Cooke was noted
as a gallant officer and a daring and
invincible soldier. and as man of dis
tinction the Canadian post was named
after him by the permission of his
mother, Mrs. Cooke, which was gen.
erously given.
