Uncle Ben Corbin has had the follows
ing circular printed and 1t is not likely
that any one who reads his statement will
ship furs to the firm named by him:
oMuo. Emmen Co., N. D., Juue.2a, 1893.
The undersigned isnt much Of a
kicker )" in fact, he would much rather
get a little the worst Of it once in a
while than to- say harsh tinxs shout
any. one. But, when one gets such a
deal as did a few weeks ago, it is
time to kick. At first thought I would
say nothing about it ), but the more 1
rankest OF rank swindling outfits, the
warmer have grown under the collar,
and the conviction has forced itself upon
me that I ought to make the fact of
this particular sWind1es known! This I
do, trusting that this printed slip may
be the means Of preventing some ONE
from sacrificing property by sending it
to the ad-beats who ahonswoggted"
me out of my furs. The complaint wifi
be brief, as the figures speak for them
selves. will also submit, as evidence
of the truth Of nry statement, a circular
from two other trappers who, to their
sorrow, had dealings with the same
outfit that "pulled my Leg" for over
twenty dollars:
G. q. Mosher s. Co., Of Columbia
City, Indiana, offered to pay me the
following prices:
For mink skins, $25O@3.Oe. sent
them S skins, and they paid me $r.55-
81 cents apiece.
For muskrat skins, Is cents. I sent
them ia skins, and they paid me 1897
"a small fraction over 81 cents apiece
They had offered to pay transperta-
tion charges on all shipments. Instead
of which they took out 81. IS and wrote
me as follows tWe cannot pay express
charges ON such small lots, coming
from such long distance"
According to their own proposition,
should have received $33. OF for the con
signment. They sent me a draft for
$3.97, and that was all. Hence these
tears Respfy B. l.. C0RBIN.

IT'S THE FIRST ONE THAT COUNTS.

Beware OF the first drink of liquor, my lad,
AS that will lead on to the rest:
Turn away ere beginning habit so bad,
For that way is surest and best;
Don't fancy you are strong and can stop at the
first,
That one to a hundred amounts;
Refuse e'en to sip of this glass so accursed;
'Tis always the first drink that counts.
Beware of the very first smoke, my boy,
The cigar and cigarette vile
viii multiply tenfold your health to destroy,
Your flesh and your blood TO detile.
Then reject at the start this poisonous weed;
Remember your liberty'S lost,
If once you allow this foe to succeed;
And here. too, the first step Will cost
Avoid the first act of deceit, my dear;
When once you have turned from the truth,
Retractng your steps is not easy, fear
lis impossible almost, forsooth.
Beware of beginning with talsehood TO deal;
That act good intention surmounts,
And by il your weakness ) GU clearly reveal,
For 'tis always the first lie that counts.
Look out for the very first theft, my love,
Though 1t seem but O trifle so small,
Yet when judged by our Father Who reigneth
above,
It's reckoned a terrible fall.
Dishonesty grows, till it brings forth the deed
Which to sorrow and ruin amounts;
Then beware when you're planting The very
first seed,
For that is the moment that counts.
Avoid the beginning of anything wrong;
Fight braVely to conquer the first,
AS that of Itself is sufficiently strong
To quickly lead on to the worst.
For don't you see, darling, without number
one
There never could be two and three,
Or u still higher number? For sin not begun
Can claim no existence, you see.

on her fatal investigation no one ever
knew. 1t was probably made by the
servant, who most likely screamed at
spider or some bug, for she was cleaning
out closet in a back room of the base
ment at the time and the window open
ing toward the Barlo house was not quite
closed.
Mrs. Barlo was committed to the Stock

ONWARD

Sometimes when the growing darkness
At the close of day,
To the stress of daily labor
Brings moments stay,
All at once the mind will wander
Back to other years,
See, as in q panorama,
Youthful hopes and fears.
Once again upon the threshold
OF our life we stand,
And discern the future glowing
Like the Promised Land
And the hopes of early manhood
Putting forth their leaf,
Green as are the leaves in springtime,
And their life as brief.
With pang do we remember
That we meant to be
In the battlefield hero,
Crowned with victory.
But, discredited and beaten,
Have been forced to yield;
Or at best are barely able
Still TO keep the field.
On our brow no crown of laurel
Tells OF victory won;
Not for us the song of triumph,
When the day is done.
Other men have reaped the harvest
That we thought TO reap;
Other men have gained the summit
OF the mountain steep.
And our hearts are bowed with sorrow,
Gazing on that scene,
For moment as we picture
All that might have been.
For moment! Then our manhood
Puts the sorrow by,
Crushes down again the heart throb,
Quells the rising sigh.
And once more we set our faces
SternIy toward the front,
Brace again our nerves and sinews
For the battles brunt.
Onward With success or failure
We have nought to do.
Ours TO do our duty nobly
All life's journey through.
And, although success would cheer US,
As we onward plod,
We can bear the doom of failure,
BY the help OF God.

CHAPTER III.

When Mrs. Barlo threw open that door
she fully expected to see something ter
rible but she did not. The room was de-
serted as the others had been. Nita Barlo
stared into it for awhile in dumb, un-
seeing way, and then her mind, so long
taxed to its utmost and strained to bear
the expected shock, gave way COM
pletely.
When her husband came home to lunch
that afternoon and found her absent he
was naturally startled and sought the
neighbors for information. The lady
across the way told him that she had seen
Mrs. Barlo enter the Ferras house early
that morning but did not know if she
had come out or not. She thought 1t
rather strange, however, as the Ferras'
had gone away late the evening before
and one of the servants had been put in
charge of the place until their return,
which would not be for some two or
three davs vet. 81 don't know con-
tinued the lady, 'sbut that the Irish SER
vant-girl went to early mass this morn
ing. Sometimes she doesn't return until
late, although she is usually back by ten
o'clock, anyway"
Henry Barlo went into the Ferras
house hurriedly and without knocking or
ringing. He was gone but u lew minutes
and then he came out even more rapidly
than he went in, his cheeks blanched and
his whole face haggard and white. And
he had cause, for inside was a demoness,
a raying mad-woman. The blood of the
poor. defenseless servant girl was upon
her. and the wild light of the uncontrol-
able maniac was ia her eyes. 1t was Mrs.
Barlo.

Black Hawk Veteran Reunion.

Special TO the News.
KENT, H., June % -Sixty-one
years have elapst d since the pralries
of Illinois resounded with the war
whoop of the red mer, but the name
and fame Of Black Hawk still YES,
and today old settlf rs whose mem
cries are still clear on those trying
times and survivors Of tbs Black
Hawk war are fraterniziDg in the
little city which boasts of the only
Bla * Hawk war monument in the
world. Tody is The 6lst anniversa
ry of the battle of Kellog's Grove,
where Col Demen, and his men
fought a decisive engagement that
brought defeat and disaster to Black
Hawk and bis horde Of red-skinned
followers and it is being obs rived
by general reunion OF the settlers
and veterans. The exercises be
gan this morning with procession
formed upon the ma II staeet of
Pearl City, and which, headed by a
band proceeded to the old battle
ground Of Kellog's Grove, the rem
nant of the octugenarian warriors
riding in carriages. At the grove
an old fashioned picnic was lnau
gurated until | O'clock when the
gathering was called to order and
prayer offered by Rsv. b. III.
Cartwright. The Black Hawk
survivors, about a dozen in
number we're seated upon the plat
form. After the patriotic music by
the band an address Of welcome
was delivered by j b. Timms, Of
Kent, to which response was made
by Gen, Smith G. Atkins, of Free
port. Short addresses We're then
made by Congressman II. II. Hit,
Col, Peter Parkinson, of Fayette,
Wis, Col John Thomas, III. S.
Townsend and several others. At
the conclusion of the addresses the
survivors, assisted by members of
the Grand Army of the Republic,
decorated the graves of those who
fell more than half centary ago in
the struggle with the red men. 1t
was notable and touching scene,
aud one that was attended with a
sort of melancholy interest from the
fac. that very few of the survivors
of the Black Hawk war that partic-
ipated today are likely to be on
earth when the next anniversary
rolls round.
