An Old Debt Paid.

Madison Democrat.
Just before the war Of the rebellion
Charles Morgan, of this city worked
in Chicago as bricklayer. When the
news went forth that the country was
in danger, Mr.. Morgan dropped his
trowel and entered into the Union
army. There was a sum of SIS so due
Mr.. Morgan from the contractor en-
ploying him, which was forgotten in
the excitement of the times.
A week ago Mr.. Morgan went from
this city to the worlds fair One day
while walking about among the thous-
ands Of people he met the contractor
in question. They recognized one an
other in moment, and began talking
over old times. By and by the old
contractor, striking Mr.. Morgan on
the shoulder, explained by Jove
old boy, owe you $3.50. You ran off
and enlisted in the army, leaving that
sum behind you"
The balance was handed over and
the two parted after a time, the best

Sent to State Prison.

Lancaster Herald.
James Jones, of Fennimore, one of
the guilty parties in the Doan adultery
case, came before Judge Carter and
plead guilty last Saturday afternoon to
the charges against him. He has been
trying a game of bluff all along
until lately, when he weakened and
concluded to take his sentence at once.
The Judge gave him two years and a
half at hard labor in the penitentiary
at Waupun, twenty-four hours to be
spent in solitary confinement. This
will give him time TO think over his
vicious ways and with a virtuous APP
premiership of two and half years he
may conclude to be better man the
rest of his life The examination of
his partner in guilt has not yet taken
place but it is difficult to see how she
can escape somewhat similar pun

Before the end of the fair the people
