SWEET ISLE OF DREAMS.

Sweet Isle Of Dreams my heart would faiD
Rest there, forgetting all its pain;
The wild waves all their clamor cease
Aud melt upon its sands in peace.
Upon its shore we Ind sweet rest,
The perfume of the gardens blest
Tho holy stiffness and the calm,
To weary hearts is healthy balm.
Sweet Isle OF Dreams! no discord Jars
The ear attuned; no harsh sound mars
The music floating on the air.
The song Of seraphs, pure and fair.
But all is peace and Joy and love,
Like that OF heaven far above,
Where angels, clad in garments white,
Chant hymns of praise in realms Of light.
Sweet Isle OF Dreams! Fair Land Of sleep
Der us the angels vlgils keeps
Perchance our spirits with them roam,
Aud that they toll us Of their home.
Or 1t may be they come in dreams,
To wander with us by glad streams
In gardens fair; and what we see,
Waking, we hold in memory.

The special term of court
which was set for the 25th by
Judge Campbell at the last regu-
lar term, was convened by his
honor last Tuesday, the session
lasting until yesterday morning.
The cases were all questions of
law, no jury being summoned,
and were entitled:
Frederick E. Mather VS. Mary
Rowan ct al.
Catherine E. Brown VS. John
Nell Hermans.
Fred E. Mather VS. james
Darst ct al.
Joseph Fanset VS. Peter Van
dervoort.
The first three cases are the
outcome of some of the George
NJ. Clark frauds, where the latter
as the agent of Brown & Co., had
received moneys in payment of
mortgages and had failed to
transmit it to the mortgages.
The cases were ably argued by
attorney A. w. Willmarth of
Huron, for the mortgage com
pany and T. L. Bouck for the de-
PENDANTS, at the conclusion of
which the court rendered a judg-
ment in favor Of the defendants,
holding that payment had been
made to the agent Of the mort
gagee.
We know little or nothing of
the law in the case, but there is
an element Of justice in the de-
cision which will be heartily ap-
proved. It is that the loss caus-
ed by Clark dishonesties
should fall upon the company
whose trusted employe he was,
ald who were the principal
means Of securing him his free
dom from punishment, and not
upon the innocent owners of the
land, to some Of whom it would
mean loss of farms and ruin
were they obliged to pay this
money over again. The cases
tried were but test cases, which
if the decision had been in favor
Of the plaintiffs, would have been
followed by many others of a
similar nature.

The Ortonville papers contain
an account of the finding of the
body of a man by some boys who
were herding in ravine near
the town. An examination by
coroner Bolsta indicated that the
man had committed suicide, as a
revolver was still grasped in his
hand, with a bullet hole in his
head. From papers on his per-
son he is believed to be Ferdi-
nand Waldhoff of Minneapolis.
He was clad in winter apparel,
including a heavy overcoat, indi-
eating that the deed was done
during the winter
The Herald-Star says: The
only thing to indicate possible
cause for the rash act, was
found in a small pocket dairy,
where he had written as follows:
II don't think that affects the
question; a true wife should have
no secrets from her husband; if
she has she is wanting N conf
dence and trust in him, and /
should be sorry to think you
were lacking in either. Oh! I
know now why you disappear SO
often evenings. | saw you this
evening where you were.
Also evidence that he had a
certificate Of deposit for S110 on
the Gefunct Washington bank Of
Minneapolis. So his death was
due to either the pertidy Of a
woman or rotten Minneapolis
bank.

A Straight Tip.

Under the caption$of "A Warn
ing and "A False Impression
certain individuals are endeavor
ing to prejudice the general pub
lie against the Germania Mutual
Hail Insurance Society of this
city. At least one of their agents
is slandering the above named
Insurance company to further
their own scheme.
Their claim that we have
adopted their name is preposter
Gus and false. While they them
selves have seen fit to change
their name from Mutual Hail Aid
Association to that of Evangeli
cal Mutual Insurance Company
can be better imagined than we
need to explain. We will refer.
you to 5 II in article 5 Of their
constitution for 1895 and 1896
which reads, "only members Of
the Evangelical community can
be chosen delegates and officers
of this association. > We have
not solicited any such members
to become part Of our society,
but they seem panied to think
that we solicit patrons and asso
ciates among that class Of people
whose money they have been
willing to receive without accord
ing them the privileges which
our laws entitle them to. That
these same people have done an
unlawful business must be evi
dent to outsiders and interested
parties.
They even have reached that
stage of effrontry to open our
mail and still doing this, claims
the confidence and blind faith Of
the public. The incorporators
of our society are among the
best and most substantial farm
ers in the county, and it evident.
ly grieves the hearts and COM
pact brain of our generous
friends that our legislature did
not confer a special privilege
upon them TO take all insurance
in the state. Resp,
