man who knew of his imprisonment
came to Dallas and demanded money
to keep still. This man got so much
blackmail from Hall that the latter
was finally Obliged to cease paying,
and the fellow exposed him. Hall
then went to other places, but the
continual fear of having his prison
record exposed and his bad luck in
business on this account led to his
mind becoming unbalanced. He then
went to the insane hospital on Wards
Island, New York, where he was re-
stored to health. He made several
ventures and then turned up at Fruit
dale, and the balance of his story is
known. What we have given is an
outline of his statement, so far as was
exempt from the promise Of secrecy.
AS to the truth of his statements, our
readers will have to judge for them
selves. Mr.. Hall says that he is able
to produce any number of references
from thoroughly reliable men, some
Of them prominent in business, to
substantiate his claims. 1t seems
strange that a man having such
serious charges against him as Mr..
Hall has, would not take every pos
sible step to exonerate himself in the
eyes of the public, when he claims to
be able to do so with convincing
evidence. On the other hand, if the
charges against Hall are true, it seems
strange that no one of the men whom
it is claimed that he has defrauded
has taken steps to have him prose-
cuted
Halls case is certainly an enigma.

city Saturday to change the telegraph
wires along the Omaha road to suit

man, w. Fl. Wheeler, W. e. Ryan, j..
Queenlan, V. Freeman, M. Brewster,
A. Crosses. M. Roach, P. Champagne,
J. Gehan, J. Suain.
Fire was started in the heating plant
Saturday and the plastering will have
chance to dry. The roof is not yet
completed.
The freight depot, having reach ed
it's final location, new platform has
been constructed about it.
The old baggage house has been re-
moved to the yards near the foot of
Minnesota street. What will be done
with the old passenger depot is still
mystery, but half dozen persons
desire to buy it.
1t is not definitely settled when the
new track and buildings will be
occupied, but it will not be before
next Sunday.

DEMANDED THE FUNDS.

County Treasurer Lloyd visited
Mapleton Thursday and made for
NAL demand on the new State bank
for the county funds deposited in the
old bank, over $4,000. The new bank
denied being in any way interested in
the case. The case will now rest with
the county attorney. Both have pre-
viously made demands on the proprie-
tors of the old bank, but without sue
cess. 1t is likely that the bondsmen,
who are all responsible, will be asked
to settle, and in the event of refusal
they will be proceeded against.

THE CONSTANS HOUSE.
Blue Earth City Has Fine New
Hotel

The new Constans House, at Blue
Earth City. is the best arranged and
best furnished of any hotel in city

first building was located He now
has a fine brick building just COM
pleted, 140X40 feet, three stories high,
with all the modern Improvements
and costing $4,000. The building is
finished in hard wood from top to
bottom, has hot and cold water,
electric lights and call bells, and is
finely furnished. Having been in the
business so long, Mr.. Constans knows
pretty nearly what the travelling
public wants, and has given it to
them.

But after all, judging from what a planter and several others told me, whatever crops are under discussion, whether pimento, haywood or ba- nAnas and oranges, coffee remains the finest present product of Jamaica, for the Blue mountain and the pea berry kinds-the latter being the finer of the two-hsve no equals, perhaps even in Mocha. They are bought up year before grown for the Liverpool market and are here supposed to be all intended for Russia.
 The peaberry derives its name from an apparent freak of nature, one round pea instead of twin seeds being found within the coffee berry and containing a double flavor. These single berries or peas are hand picked from out of the general mass. Some of the best coffee plantations are said to be quite small, but situ. ated in favored gullies in the hills where the soil is extremely rich, be- ing an alluvisl deposit brought down by streams and winter torrents. As with canes, so with the coffee. Many of the latter grounds need re- planting after 16 years. But the Blue mountain trees are famous for being perhaps 60 years of age COrnhil Magazine.

Tried the Eneet of 9 Title.

Among the neighbors who an- noyed Carlyle none perhaps gave him so much trouble as the boys who played about near his house. They made no secret of their dislike of the philosopher and stood in dread of his stick when he went abroad. James Waylen, who did a great part of the research for the Cromwell, !" and who was at Car lyle's house almost daily, was one morning standing on the doorstep of the house in Cheyne row waiting to be let in when one of these young urchins came up to him in a defer ential manner, and touching his cap said: Please, sir, would you ask Lord Carlyle to give me my top? It's tumbled down his airey." During the mornings work Caryle and Waylen chuckled together over tho conoiliatory title which the lad had created for his enemy.-Westmin- ster Gazette.

Humnr. of War.

Some stories told in the history of Eastport, Me, show that the Eng fish officers of the garrison, after the town was taken in the war of 1872, were ready to see fair play.
 The provincial marshal was sent from Halifax at this time to arrest citizens of Passport who were bonds men for the custom house official. The men thus threatened had friends among the British officers, who felt the injustice of the steps to be taken and gave them a timely hint of their danger.
 The officer who had charge of the duty of fitting up apartments for their accommodation significantly asked the marshal, who busted him. self with forming plans to insure success, whether he had ever heard how the Yankees cook a dolphin "
 No"
 Well, then, I'll tell you. They always catch him first, and so do you catch these fellows before l turn everything tOpsy turvy to make 8 place to keep 'em.
 After the return of the marshal to Halifax one of the refugees returned openly and in fact was known by the British officers to occupy his house. He was not disturbed in his pursuits, though an officer would sometimes say as he passed his dwelling:
 Well, Wheeler, I think I must come after you tonight Youm be at home l suppOse?"-Youth's Companion.
