The Chicago Fire.

The near approach Of the Worlds Fair
awakens increased interest in Chicago and
her wonderful history. To-day Chicago is
probably the finest city in the world archi-
tecturally, and all practically built within
twenty years. The most thrilling and won
derful chapter in the city's history is the one
telling of the great fire and the subsequent
rebuilding. II reads like tale from fairy
land. The new and magnificent Cyclorama
of the Chicago Fire just opened in that city
shows in a most surprising manner the city
during the great fire, with its thousands of
acres of red-hot ruins, thousands more of a
surging sea of fome, and countless thous-
ands of panic.stricken people fleeing for
their lives, is the most grand, awe inspiring,
and realistic scene ever produced by man.
The whole effect is greatly intensified by the
introduction Of novel mechanical and cleo
trical devices. making the whole situation
seem like reality. This remarkable exhibit
bition is located upon Michigan Ave-, near
Madison st., and will remain as promi-
nent attraction during the Worlds Fair.
Our readers should make note Of this great
work and not fail to visit 1t.

Tampered with the shelter.

While his mother and other members of
the family were at church last Sunday,
George, the 13-year old son of Mrs. Julia
Haase living near Okolona, tampered with a
corn shelter. He had the thing in operation
and was evidently well pleased with his fun,
so much so that he became careless, and the
first thing he knew the thumb and index
finger of bis right hand were on the "inside"
being rapidly converted into mince-meat.
He succeeded in jerking it out and DR..
Maerker was summoned who found the
hand in badly lacerated condition. The
boy will be in luck if his hand can be gotten
back to the condition before the shelter
spoke its piece. While corn shelters in the
main are good things, in this case Sunday
school tract would have been much better.

In a Receivers Hands.

The Mcclure trouble has assumed another
aspect by the appointment of Chas. Il. Gid
ley as receiver Of all property hitherto con-
trolled by the Trustees in Trust.
This official act was made the forepart OF
the week by Judge Handy. and on Tuesday
the Receiver presented his bond of $15,OoC
to the clerk of courts and was qualified for
the Office.
He went to Mcclure yesterday and assum-
ed charge of the estate.
Practically this dissolves the Injunction
against the Trustees, ct al, inasmuch as
they have the handling Of no property.
1t is to be hoped that the affairs at Nc
Clure will soon be rescued from the chaos
in which they have been for some time, and
the right receiver has been appointed to en-
compass this result.

Success ofa Former Napoleon Boy

Success ofa Former Napoleon Boy.
The following refers to Prof. E. L.
Cowdrick, former Napoleon boy, and
which will be read with interest by his many
friends here in his old home. The clipping
is taken from the Clay Center Times.
The wamegs school board offered Professor
Cowdrick OF this city q better salary than he was
getting in Clay Center and the supertendency Of
their schools besides SO he accepted and will leave
some time next week for his new field. To Pro-
fessor Cuwdrick Ii largely due the credit for the
high position attained by the Clay. Center high
school the past three years. He modestly insists
that Ii was and is on sccount OF the exceptionally
fne lot of pupils, and while this may be truein
measure, STILL without his hearty enthusiasm,
untiring devotion and sbundant capabilities the
school would not have been known as IL now lie
from one end Of the state to the other. He is
student who will never do anything else than
impart instruction his whole energy Is wrapped mp
In his profession and the science Of importing
knowledge is to him worth every sndeavor. A man
with these views must bea success In his profession
ultimately and eternAlly. Every appreoiative
patron Of the school. every right minded Citizen
will regret this step and hope that the board Of
education may End teacher who viii completely
fill the vacancy, at the same time they will
recognize that Professor Cowdrick is doing that
whiehis best for him and wish him unqualified
success In ell his undertakings.

JES' THINK OF 1T!
One Hundred and Fifteen Made Par
ty Defendants to Suit.

"Not dead neither sleeping" can be said
of @. @. L. Wulf and his attorneys. This
is manifest from the fact that last Friday 9
petition for Equitable Relief was filed with
the clerk of Common Pleas Court by Wulff's
attorneys in which Peter Il. Macklin ct al.
are made party defendants. The "et al
in the case includes over one hundred and
fifteen lot owners of the new manufacturing
addition to Mcclure.
In substance the petition sets forth that
Mr.. Wulff complied with his part OF the
contract with the lot owners while they have
failed to hold up their end, SO to speak.
The Contract.
It seems that the stipulations OF the con-
tract we're such as to be fully understood by
the most unskilled in business affairs. The
agreement was.
I. When 200 lots were sold the drawing
was to come off and each lot owner paw to
the Trust IN Trust $50.
II. When the Manufacturing Plant was
under roof, second $50 was to be paid to
said Trustees.
III. When the plant was in operation the
last payment of $50 be made.
The Trustees were to transact business fol
both the lot owners and Wulf and under nc
consideration was the latter to handle any
money. However, upon the receipt of the
3rd payment the Trustees we're to pay Mr.
Wulff the balance remaining in their hands
after certain stipulated expenses we're met.
Such were the conditions of the contract.
Mr.. Wulff holds that the 200 lots have
been sold, the manufacturing plant erected
and, according to the trustees own assertion,
it has been in operation; nence his part Of
the contract has been fulfilled.
On the other hand he claims that notwith-
standing the three payments are due only
the Arst and part of the second have been
paid in; hence he applies for Equitable Re.
lief.
Judge Handy has granted an Injunction
restraining the Trustee from in any way dis.
posing of the property, or taking any othei
action.

FROM AN APPLE TREE.
We're the Remains Of John Hetti
seymer Found Hanging,

Two hslters spliced and an apple tree IN
his own orchard were the material passports
that transported John Hettiseymer to that
unknown beyond.
A prosperous farmer with unmarried
domestic felicity, yet he deliberately took
his own life.
Looked up to by all the neighbors as the
very picture of contentment, still ill-health
was the skeleton that made him hate life
and its surroundings.
Last Friday afternoon the body of John
Hettiseymer, well known farmer residing
just over the line from Liberty township in
Fulton county, was found hanging to an
apple tree in his own orchard.
His daughter and son-in-law who live on
the place were the unfortunate ones to make
the horrible find.
They made haste to cut down the body
and summon assistance, but without avail
as life had taken its departure something
like an hour since.
No cause can be assigned for the rash act
save ill-health, dispondency and temporary
in sanity resulting therefrom.
For several years he had been complaining
but Oh the day of his death was feeling no
worse, if not little better. than usual.
He was last seen by the daughter at about
two O'Clock when he was on his way to the
barn.
There was nothing peculiar about this
action as his health was not sufficiently poor
to conine him to the house. Hence his
absence for an hour was not noticed and il
was by mere accident that at the end of that
time his body was found swinging to the
breeze from limb of an apple tree in the
orchard.
He had evidently gone straight to the
barn with the firm intention of killing him
self.
The halters were handy but his infirmity
would not permit him to utilize the beams
which were pretty well up near the roof.
Not to be athwarted in his purpose, he
went through the rear door into the orchard
beyond and seized upon the first tree he
struck as his scafold.
The branches were low and no trouble was
encountered in climbing the tree.
Once up the tree, the halters were tied
together, loop fashioned, the other end
fastened to limb high enough from the
ground to gain sufficient drop, and the
manifestly crazed man jumped into eternity
His neck was not broken and the deatt
must have been slow and of great torture
doubIy so from the fact that his hands wer,
not tied and he was in position to save
himself.
But an indomitable will was behind the
suicide's insanity and he slowly choked te
death.
He was about 55 years old and ranked
high as level-headed and prosperous
farmer.
