RUSHVILLE, Ind, Sept 15.-The lynch
ing at Versailles is the sole theme here to-
night. 1t has greatly excited the Osgood
colony in this city, which numbers about
one hundred, nearly all named Levi and
closely related to Lyle Levi, the old soldier
who was strung up by the mob. Friends
here blame Pete Hostutrer, the alleged de-
tective. and believe he planned the robbery
at Correct and induced the two young men
who were lynched with several others TO
accompany him. This led first to the arrest
of Andrews and Gordon and the subsequent
wholesale lynching. The Levi family is 200
or 800 strong around Osgood. In its ranks
are said to be many desperate men, who
will cause blood to be spilled in revenge
for the deaths of their kinsmen.
Lyle Levi was member of the Eighty
third Indiana Regiment Several of his old
comrades live in this county and know him
as a brave soldier. He has been widower
for years and has followed various occupa-
tfons. He was in fair circumstances.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept 15.-At the close
of the days investigation by the Board of
Health at o clock this evening, the fever
situation so far at least as New Orleans
is concerned, was considered to have ma
terially improved and there was less anx-
iety than at any time since Monday among
the health officials, encouraging them TO be-
lieve that by no means had they lost con-
troll of the situation and that il was quite
within tho range Of probability to expect
that in a short time the superior quaran-
tine and sanitary methods employed will
prevail and crush out the bronze visItant.
1t is not easy to find a physician who is
prepared to hazard an opinion that New
Orleans stands in immediate fear OF an ep-
idemc.
During to-day there were twenty cases re-
ported TO the Board of Health for investiga-
ton OF these. two are still under inves-
tigation, two We're reported as suspicious
and as requiring further diagnosis. fourteen
were found to be harmless cases of fever
and two were pronounced genuine yellow
fever, OF these two one Is the ease of an
old French butcher Herman Dartois, lv-
ing on Madison street, in the immediate
vicinity of the French market and whose
case was prematurely reported last night
as yellow fever. The second case tO-day 10

Another Old Settler Gone.

John M. Field died June 6, 1897, on
the farm upon which he located and
bought from the government, in Vern-
on Springs, nearly forty-three years
ago. He was born in Somersetshire,
England, JuLe 16, 1917, and came to
the United States when 21 years of
age, residing in the state of New York
some thirteen years or more. Decem-
ber 20, 1912, he was united in mar
rage with Sophia A. Loomis, at Cicero,
New York, who survives him. In 1854
or the early part of 1866, they came
to this county making it their perma-
nent home since. Four daughters
were born to them, three of whom
were with him in his last hours. They
were Mrs. Ida B. Reynolds of Elma,
Mrs. Ella D. Tibbetts of Kansas, and
Mrs. Alice M. Gallup of this city; Cora
L., wife of John Mulholland, died in
Cresco several years since. The de-
ceased has been great sufferer for
the past two months and in feeble
health tor some years. Mr.. Field was
one of our best citizens, pure in heart,
honest in purpose, upright in conduct.
He was honored and respected, by all
who knew him. His funeral will be
from his late home today to the Oak
Lawn cemetary.

Marriage.

On Tuesday morning, June 1st, Miss
Lizzie Carey, and Mr.. Z. Granahan,
both of Chester, Iowa, were united in
marriage at the Old homestead of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. d. Ca
rey. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. p. Carey, of st. Peter, Mimi, in
the presence Of a large number of
friends and relatives who had assem-
bled to congratulate at the happy un-
ion. The bride looked beautiful in
her costume of green, with cream
trimmings. She has grown since
childhood in our midst and is friend
to all who know her. Her pleasant
face and cheerful ways will ever glad
den the hearts of those about her, and
all rejoice in the fact that she has
chosen for life-mate a young man of
unblemished character who by his In
dustry has builded for his bride a
home OF which she may we'll feel
pleased. The many relatives aud
friends evinced their goodwill by
rich assortment of gifts, and those
who were unable to attend the we'd
ding sent generous reminders of the
fact that 'sabsent'' means not "forgot-
ten" The best wish of all who know
the young couple is that they may ev-
er enjoy the happiness of which they
are worthy. /

The Commencement Exercises.

Thursday and Friday evenings Of
last week occurred tie eighteenth an
nual commencement exercises of the
Cresco High School, at which time
the largest class in the history of the
school, nineteen, received their di-
plomas.
The essay and orations, so many of
which forbid any individual mention,
were of an exceptionally high order of
merit and were we'll delivered, espec-
tally so the oration of Ben Combs.
The stage was very beautifully dec
Grated with evergreens and potted
plants and flowers, the class motto
being in letters of evergreen and sus-
pended from the front of the stage,
and floral piece, "97," being placed
on the right panel of the stage front.
The address of Rev. Holmes to the
class, before the presentation of di-
plomas, was one of the finest ever de-
livered in Cresco to graduating
class, comprising in a few words,
thoughts derived from the class
motto Through Clouds to the Stars, "
It was short but delivered with such
effect that it must long remain in the
minds of those to whom it was ad-
dressed, and remaining cannot be but
productive of good results.
Prof. Ling closed the exercises in a
few words of thanks for the generous
attendance and announced "the bill''
for the coming year.

William duCklnS is uCt1nS up a
large pasture for swine, and has as
fine lot of Poland China's as one
could desire to see. With his COWS
and hogs and his productive farm,
he will come out all right.
Fred Hill reports having bees
which swarmed the 10th. of May,
with several swarms since. 1t is un-
usual for bees to swarm so early in
the season. Mr.. Hill is extensively
engaged in hogs and stock having
some very fine of both. He has leased
his mill for five years to Geo. E. Hart
man who is repairing the dam, and
will reconstruct the interior works
putting in a set of rollers for buck
wheat. The mill has three sets of
buhrs and in its present condition is
grinding about 100 sack of feed per
day. Mr.. Hartman is an experienced
miller and trustworthy.
Eugene Marsh is still breeding fine
horses Notwithstanding the low price
of horse flesh, and finds that GOOD
ones command fair prices.
The Chester cooperative creamery
is putting out large quantities of the
best quality of butter, its output for
the past week was 1S0 tubs, making
an aggregate of 10,S00 pounds for the
week. Mr.. Ed Capper is the butter
maker, and his skill has made for the
Chester creamery product, an envi-
able reputation among epicures.
The Kelley Bros, are handling the
Osborne farm machinery with good
results, and Pat Noonan the McCor-
mick goods at Chester, and is like
wise having fair trade.
1t is rumored that one of the road
supervisors of the county filled a
washout at county bridge,
using the road work of the district,
and afterwards putting in bill be-
fore the supervisors and is carrying
the money allowed as though the
labor had been hired. We hope the
rumor is without foundation.
One of the prospering and stirring
young farmers OF Chester, is G. E.
Morey, who is becoming one of the
noted breeder of fine Poland China
hogs in the county, of which breed
he now has "a, embracing as fine
stock animals as mortal men ever
looked upon. They are large boned
and low on legs, with heavy quarters,
features that render them desirable
for breeding purposes. He is milking
30 graded jerseys, as fine herd as
can be seen. A large number of
younger ones and a lot of fine horses
are among his other possessions in
the live stock line.
Webster Haven and sons on what
was known as the H. w. Babcock
farm in the '70's, has a desirable farm
stocked we'll with hogs horses, cattle,
and sheep. Having two feed mills
and steam apparatus for operating
them, they only feed what is ground
thereby enabling the animals fed to
assimilate their food and give largest
possible returns therefor.

WHERE THEY ARE AT.
City Solicitor Torrey Advises the Board
OF Revision and Appeals with Refer.
ence TO the Courts Decision.

The board of revision and appeal is
in receipt Of the following communica-
ton from City Solicitor James II. Tor
rey, explaining the effect of Judge
Archbald's decision and suggesting to
the board course of procedures:
To the Board of Revision and Appeals.
AS you have noticed the court has over
ruled our demurrer and have granted an
injunction restraining the city authorities
from leNying and collecting tax upon in
creased assessment reached under the
new assessment just completed. This de-
cisiOn affects the power of your board in
no respect except so far as IT decides
that such portion Of the act of 1895 as pur-
ports to give you power to corGer a COM
plete new assessment in years other than
triennial years is unconstitutional. If
ports to give you power to order a COM
plete the assessment upon which you have
been working there is nohing in the pres
ent order of the court to prevent your
taking them, but no tax can be levied
upon any assessment other than the tri-
ennial assessment, as modified to meet
changes in ownership and improvements,
l await instructions from yourselves
and from the councils as TO whether the
case shall be carried to a higher court by
appeal In the meantime in case such ap-
peal should be taken, l advise that the re-
suits of your new assessment be so pre-
served that the tax which may be levied
can be computed upon it, If it should be
sustained by the higher court.
Very truly yours,
James II. Torrey, City Solicitor.
Councils also received official notice
of the decision last night from Mr..
Torrey, an account of which appears

ade the Mouth of the Sewer.

ceeded to made itself felt.
on It's way down from Dunmore
and Petersburg, IL gathered up all
kinds of old things such as railroad
ties, beer kegs, stumps, tomato cans
anu the like and out of pure cussed-
ness deposited them in such a man
ner at the mouth of the fourth dis
trict sewer that 1t blocked the opening
and caused a flood of the flats near the
Boes wheel works.
telephone message from the wheel
hurried City Engineer Phillips and a
gang of city laborers to the scene and
after half an hours work the block
aiding debris was removed and the
sewer allowed to perform it's custom
airy function, which 1t did in a very
successful sort of way, relieving the
overflow in very short order.
Three beer kegs were among the
things which escaped through the
opening when the clog was being re-
moved. AS the sewer is made up of
two twenty-four inch pipes the city
engineer says the kegs will find their
way to the river all right.
A project is under way to carry this
sewer on up through the fields of the
Dunmore road When this is done
these floods will be a thing Of the past.
