Tho mail brings the sad intelligence
that III the case of the people of Illinois
versus Isaac Dangerfield, of Chicago,
the defendant has been held by Judge
Glennon in the sum of 10000 to the
grand jury of Cook county on the
Charge of enbezzlcment.
Mr.. Dangerteld stood high socially in
Chicago and was one Of the first gents
west of tho Alleghanies to wear box
coat. 1t did not touch him anywhere
except OH the shoulders, and is still be-
lievcd to have been made in England.
He is charged with taking, keeping,
retaining and clinging to $40 900, which
WIS deposited with him to bind the bar
gain in the purchase of the Pontiac, Ok
ford and North railroad, Michigan
line 100 miles in length, which Mr.. G.
L. Gregory began the purchase of about
two years ago through Dangerfield.
The trade held fire, believe, and so
the dcpositors one day asked Isaac to re-
turn the $4,000, but he had put it into
team or something and so claimed that
the money was forfeited. He has had
ing that some one else would come along
and forfeita like sum before cold weather
came on.
Isaac Mt one timo published the
speeches of Emory A. Storrs, of Chi
cagO i'll book form, but tho widow did
not get anything in return except social
recognition by Mr.. Dangerlicld, whose
manners arc easy and fluent.
Later on he published book for mo
in M unguardcd moment and has cor
responded with me ever since in a light,
airy and graceful style, which has been
great help to me. When began to
correspond with him my style was rather
heavy and laborcd, but after the first
two years people noticed that l was get
ting command of language that indi-
Gated deep thought und mobility.
Socially Mr.. Dangcrfield is ambitious,
and no may DO found ut all times hob
nobbing with his superiors in a bright
and CHEEKY way. When ho began to
publish my book, got tho refusal of q
good COW hero where l live, paying five
dollars for the option and promising to
pay the balance on receipt of Mr.. Dan
gerfield's check.
We arc still without milk!
MIR. Dangerheld is well fitted TO shine
in society, but in o business way he is
cratic. conservative and past finding
out. He entertains with q lavish hand
mussing around i'll the salad and max
ing while you wait style of mayon-
naise dressing that should teach us not
to cling too closely to life, but rather to
be ready at all times calmly to accept
our doom, such as it is, and give a re-
ceipt for same.
Dangorfield is not his real nan9, but
have it ON file for tho use of those who
contemplate dealing with him.
Branscomb Ruth, of Mudhaven, Mass,
writes to ask for information. Can
YOU" no goes on to say, tell me if you
ever travelled among the people of
Beled Ell Mehgreb? am quite a stu
dent OF those and kindred races and am

GREAT PROSPERITY.

'Our debts represent our invest
ments and our mortgages are an
evidence of our prosperity" So said
the Kansas republican league, and
so i,as re- echoed many republican
orators and papers during the past
year. We have just learned that
one land loan agency, late of Huron,
has within the past week commence
ed foreclosure proceedings on IS
mortgages in Brown county alone,
and almost as many in SpInk county.
This only represents small portion
of the homes that are being lost
through that prosperity of which a
mortgage is an evidence. A great
many who are threatened with fore
closure, knowing that they cannot
redeer. their farms. are induced to
give up possession on receipt of
$50 to $50. Then the boomers point
to the payment of that mortgage as
another evidence of prosperity. He re
then is quadruple evidence of pros.
perity:
lst. Contracting the debt.
End. Giving mortgage for it.
3rd. Giving a deed of the farm to
pay the debt and raise the mortgage
9Th. Take to the road a homeless
tramp.

ACASE CONTEMPT.

An old farmer from one of the
back counties was the defendant in
a suit for piece of land, and he had
been making strong fight for it,
says the Detroit Free Press. When
the attorney for the other side be-
gan his speech he said:
"May it please the court, I take
the ground---"
The old farmer jumped up anu
sung out:
"What's that? What's that?"
The Judge called him down.
"May it please the COURT began
the attorney again, not noticing the
interruption, II take the ground"
"No, pll he id if you do, either, !"
shouted the old farmer, "anyhow
not until the court decides the case"
The fine for contempt was remit
ted later.

!, ,r---Speak up, now! How did you
