that his money was in silver. 1t
was raining that evening and when
he went home he hung his coat on
the wood box to dry. He had been
making collections that evening and
had about IS in change in sack in
the coat pocket. In some manner
the sack fell out and became at
tached to a stick of wood. When
Henry went to look for his money
he found it in the stove very securely
fastened together and burned SO
that it was unfit for circulation. In
order to get anything out of it he
will have to send it to Washington
where he will be paid the market
price for silver bullion which is about
tifty-siX cents for one dollar. He
will have to pay the express and
when he gets it back his SIS will have
dwindled down to less than $3.50.

No decent or respectable citizen OF
this city learned OF the Objectionable
characters on one OF the leading
churches of the city with other feel
ings than shame and humiliation
that our city should contain anyone
guilty of SO disgraceful an act. 1t
was one OF those acts SO discredita-
BILE that any mention OF it in public
print was to advertise the city s mis-
fortune. And the~unly previous pub
lie mention Of it has been about as
disgraceful as the act that was men
toned. a correspondent in the Dem
Ocrat attempts to connect the out
rage with the present city admins
trat1On, and Il man who would make
that charge is fully capable of per-
forming as mean an act as the very
one he denounces. Because some ir-
responsible and cOwardly person,
possibly a resident of some other To-
cality, disgraces himself and the city
is it any foundation for any citizen
| to attempt to make local issue OF
the question, and connect with 1t
| officers and citizens who stand high
in the community, and wish every
good local institution success and
prosperity?
That there should be an organiza-
ton that is opposed to the members
of any church as such is unfortunate,
and it only tends to cause distrust
and suspicion, where there should ex-
list harmony and confidence. While
members of that church have partic-
ular reason for complaint at the ef-
fort to iniure them, it is also unpleas-
ant for those who are not members
of the church, and are opposed to
the secret organization, to meet the
charge that they are members OF the
| organization

gives the following particulars concern.
ing Capt Cotton's life previous to his re-
moval here: "John A. Cotton was born
in lS41 and had he lived until November
9th he would have been SO years of age
The early years of lis life were spent on
farm, he having at one time owned the
farm north of town belonging to George
Dean. In 1851 he enlisted in the 18th
illinois Cavalry under Gen. John r.
Beverage, served as quartermaster, and
ranked as captain in the department of
Missouri, serving up to the close of the
war. After receiving his discharge he
came back to Belvidere, and under Presi.

raiser up to 1872, when he moved to Be.
lott; afterward to Mason City, Iowa, and
later to eastern Montana: He finally
settled nine years ago at Williamsport,
North Dakota, and located on ranch
for raising cattle and horses, where he
prospered and regained his health, lost in
the army. Mr.. Cotton was a man of mag
niicent physique and robust health, and
had nothing occurred would doubtless
have lived to a good d'age.
