Geo. A. Moore shipped eight car
loads OF stock to Chicago this week.
Geo. Baumgartner was in from North
Andover last week. He came from
Germany some years ago and has fully
made up bis mind that he wants TO be a
full fedged American citizen. He i'm.
proved his opportunity while in the CITY
by taking out his naturalization papers.
Another gentleman from North And
over accompanied him here.
Myron Ward Brown, died in Pierce
Neb. Nov. 9th, 1894, aged but little
more than p years, He was born in
Dubuque. Iowa, in 1872. He was a
young man of most xemplary charact-
er and made friends of all his acouaint-
aDces. de was leader in the Y. P.
> =. Il. In the community where he
lived, and TIE crowded church, at his
funeral and the long procession that
accompanied his body to its last resting
place bear witnesses to the esteem and
respect in which he was held by those
who knew him.
There was death near North Andover
last week. Sometime ago Joe Tim
misch sold his famous old roadster
mike to Mrs. Thos. Seaton. The
animal was a good one albeit he had
seen nearly quarter of a century.
Mrs, Seaton and her son Fred Taft who
Is visiting from the south took a trip to
Bloomington and on their return, when
near the old Tracy cemetery "Mike'
stopped suddenly, tumbled and died.
Fortunately gentleman came by at
the time and kindly took Mrs. S. and
MIR. I. home. The faithful old trotter
that died in the harness was buried the
next day. He probably selected the
cemetery as fit place to quit the tro-
ubles of this world.
1t has been a long time since our
city was shocked so completely as it
was Wednesday morning, when the
news was brought to town that VIM,
Westing had killed himself with a shot
gun. de committed the act at s
O'Clock q. m. in the hall of his com
Portable home. The top of his skull
was blown off, and the lobes OF the
brain were thrown out intact on the
floor. Death wss instantaneous.
The coroner's jury consisted of W. p.
Stone, l.. Basford, G. Fl. Angus, John
Schreiner, Jasper Knapp and John
Carthew. Mr.. Westing was without
doubt the wealthiest farmer in Grant
County. and was ~ years of age, well
known and highly respected. His
funeral will take place next Friday.

Babcock Of the Republican congress-
ional committees especially elated over
the report that the Republicans have
carried the state senate in his state,
Wisconsin. He says this was the initial
fight of the campaign and in some re-
spects the most important part Of it
from Republican standpoint, owing
to the fact that the Republicans desire
to redistrict the state and have been I'M
able to do so because of the opposition
Of the Democratic Senate. He is now
assured the Republicans have the senate

certainly redistrict the state at the next

A frosty chill was In the air.
How plainly remember
The bright autumnal fires had paled
Save here and there an ember;
The sky looked hard, the hills were haze
And there were tokens everywhere
That It had come-November,

The village seat Of learning.
Across the smooth, well-trodden natb
My homeward footsteps turning:
MY heart troubled question bore.
And IN my mind, as oft before
A vexing thought was burning.

Thus run my meditations:
the Lessons had gone wrong that day.
And had lost my patience.

And make It easier to bear
Life's sorrows and ye4ations?"

A fallen tree was lying;
On this there sat two little girls
And one OF them was crying.

I'D get my lessons awful good:
But what's the use OF tryingsn
And then the little hooded head

Inc little weeper sought the arms
That opened to enfold her
Against the young heart kind and true
She nestled close, and neither knew
That was beholder.
And then heard-ah meier was known
Such judgment without malica.
No queenlier counsel ever heard.

Don't be discouraged, try once more.

witness. I would if my health permit

Regarding the filing of his marriage
certificate to Mrs. Wing in New York,
Colonel Breckenridge was yesterday
asked if he had any statement to make.
''No; I haven't anything to say" he
said, ut will all come out later. I
must not talk of these things now-you
will have to wait until l go on the
stand, then you'll hear the whole story.
No, | really can't say anything about
it,
Mr.. Stoll, Of Lexington, one of Colonel
Breckinridge's counsel, said ,laughingly,
patling Colonel Breckenridge on the
back:
sob, you just wait until we get this
old fellow on the stand, and then you'll
know the truth. But we're keeping
quiet just now"
SAT Louisville, KY, yesterday, DR..
Preston Scott, brother ofColonel Brock
inridge's wife, refused to answer the
question if the statement was true that
he had compelled Breckenridge to
marry his sister Immediately after the
death of the Colonefs first wife, His
face flushed as he said that the matter
only concerned the members of the two
families. DR.. Scott visited the news
paper Offices ofLouisville the day before
the Breckinridge-Wing wedding and
insisted on the publication of the fact
thvt the marriage would take place
then, in spite of the fact that Breckn-
ridge had previously denied a state
ment to that effect. 1t is not known
whether DR.. Scott or his sister will
testify in the Pollard Breckenridge case
in Washington.
Some think Doctor Scott compelled
the public marriage to prevent scandal,
having first learned of the secret we'd
ding and being aware that the Con-
gressman's repeated visits to his sister
were creating talk.
Miss Pollard brought her suit soon
after the brilliant ceremony in Louis
vile in July, in which Colonel Brock
inridge and his cousin, Mrs Louisa 4.
5. Wing, were made man and wife
An element in her case against Mr.
Breckenridge is the declaration made by
him on May, 81. before the Superinten-
dent of Police of Washington, that he
would make Miss Pollard his wife. This
declaration, according TO the testimony
of the superintendent several days ago
on the witness stand was made formally
in his presence. Miss Pollard being
there at the time. The testimony was
very damaging to Colonel Breckin-
ridges chances 10 the suit. 1t will be
seen, however, that the discovery OF
this previous secret marriage shows
That at the time Colonel Breckenridge
made this declaration OF his intention
to marry Miss Pollard he was already a
married man. He had, in fact, been
such for two weeks.
