The writer advocates that such matters

drawer pried open and small amount
of change carried off. Mr.. Rule does
not know how much stock was taken
but think but a few small articles
were taken. The burglars found a
key to the front door in the money
drawer, and let themselves out on the
street and carried the key off with
them. This was rather bold pro-
ceeding as the moon was shining
bright and there was dance in the
opera house, and people were travel

at both stores was done by the same
parties. The burglars are known and
as soon as sufficient evidence against
them to convict, is secured they will

Northwest, that there has been little need of
looking for Southern winter home. But, from
every indication, and judging from the many
signs that have never failed in the memory of
the oldest inhabitant, We are to have the coming
season an old fashioned, cold, frosty, snowy,
blizzardy winter The inquiry will soon be,
Where can we find the best climate most
attractions, with good accommodations, CON
veniently near home, at reasonable rates?" The
ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD can take you
to just such a spot. New Orleans, the most
attractive city in winter on the continent has no
superior as winter home. In addition to the
all that truly cosmopolitan city can give, if
has within two or three hours ride on the
MEXICAN GULF COAST the most wonderful
hunting and fishing grounds. Deer, wild ducks
and turkeys abound, and the fishing for red
snapper, Spanish mackerel and shepherds is
the delight of the amateur as well as the old set
tier. Then, the oysters direct from the finest
oyster beds, the riding, rowing and sailing, (and
picnicing, if you please, in mid winter with the
invIgorating odor of pine from the land and salt
from the ocean, with a climate unequalled, and
all within short distance from New Orleans,
makes of the MEXICAN GULF COAST an ideal
spot for Winter Home.

An Old Iowa County Settler Gone.

An Old Iowa County Settler Gone.
Died, at Rewey, Wis, on Monday,
Dec. %, 1890, Stephen Bedford More
head
Mr. Morehead, or "Steye" More
head, as he was familiarly called, was
born in Rutherford county, North Car
DINA, April 3, 1873, of Scotch-Irish
stock In childhood he removed with
his parents to Illinois, where they both
died. In 1888, he in company with his
brothers and sisters came to WisCon-
sin Territory, locating in what is now
the township of Minlin, from which he
was never farther away than to Ga
lena, H., which city was for years the
market for the lead mines of this sec
ton. The mineral was hauled by OK
teams, and Mr. Morehead spent many
days of his long life in that work.
Surviving, him so far as known, are:
one brother, l,obert Morehead, in Cal
ifornia; one sister, Mrs. Henry Lud-
hum, in Idaho; one half brother,
Charles Tyndan, in California. Two
brothers, Alexander and William are
both buried on the plains of the great
west; both having died on the road to
the gold fields of California -Alexan-
der in 1850, and William in 1852
Through his brothers, who at one
time owned large quantity of land
Mr.. Morehead inherited considerable
property; mostly in land, some of
which is now owned and occupied by
Thomas and William Blundell, and
]. W. Rewey, and that upon which the
village of Rewey now stands.
Years ago, while in his prime, dur
ing the haying season, (Which at that
time meant work and lots of it with
the scythe) becoming very much
heated he dropped his work, went to
the house, and without the knowledge
of the family, took an enormous dose
of Calomel nearly resulting in his
death, and dcpriying him of the power
to speak or walk The ability to speak
returned sooner than the powers of
locomotion as for several years he
could neither stand nor walk.
In person Mr. Morehead was thin
aad spare. He had not been away
from home for - years, nor did he
ever ride upon the railroad
Living most of his life alone, to the
older people of this neighborhood, he
was known rs an eccentric, honest,
harmless Steve Morehead; by the
younger generation, he was regarded
rs peculiar, though interesting and
kindly old man.
Fond Of his dog and gun, he was
known in life's meridian to be a crack
shot with the rifle. He read but little,
and was often the victim of cunning
dishonesty; yet he possessed a store of
shrewdness and penetration. He
leaves in money something between
fifteen hundred and two thousand dol
lars with eighty eighty acres Of timber
land in Lima township, Grant county.
His remains rest in the cemetery Of
Rock church, Clifton township, by the
side of his maiden sister Sallie More
head, and Mrs. John Edwards; Rev.
Terry Ellis officiating pastor
