Copper Mines Start.

The mines in this section prospect
we'll, but are o yet sufficiently deypl-
oped to warrant men who are looking
for work to conn here. Everybody here
is anxiously awaiting the result of the
Boston company's venture across the
river, where they have about 40 men
employed in their mines and at work on
the smelter. 1t will be fully so days be-
fore the plant will be running and if it
is n success and they work 40 tons per
day, and they are preparing to handle
that amount Of ore, it will cause no less
than Is copper mines in this vicinity to
be worked to their utmost for some time
to come.-Yerington Rustler.

District Court.

Judge Mack held court here Monday
and Tuesday of this week, during which
time the case Of Bailey vs.. Littell,
Douglass ct al was tried before a jury.
Tuesday the jury rendered = verdict in
favor of Bailey. The suit grew out oil
the attachment and sale of some cattle
owned by Mrs. Bailey, which were being
wihtered in Mason Valley. Some time
ago Joe Douglass foreclosed a mortgage
on the Bailey ranch at the Sink Of the
Carson. The residence and q plot OF
surrounding land was held as a home
stead. This Mrs. Bailey finally sold for
$500 to Douglass. The proceeds of this
sale she invested in beef cattle. These
cattle Douglass attached and had sold
last winter. The decision was that the
property was her own individual prop
erty and was exempt from attachment.
The case will probably be appealed

A LESSON ON ECONOMY.

An incident occurred here last week
which We feel almost safe in saying is
Sithout parallel in this country. A

time She ~ w in q Nevada store.
When questioned nor fully she stated
that Sue had made vt home all the cloth
ner family needed, that her husband
raised his W supplies, anu they never
mad to buy ANYTHING except hats, shoes,
sugar, coffee and the few things they
could not make or raise on the rsnci :.
The merchant was very much impressed
by the woinan's statement and told her
ne desired TO present her with q dress as
- reward Tor her industry. He il well
acquainted with her husband and knows
from his habits she had made q true
statement OF their manner Of living.

Ut home, and what he does buy is Nth

Such cases az this are so rare al to be
remarkable. II wal y sorry day for the

min by making white wash yellow with
copperas and covering the stones and

LITERARY NOTES.

New York's thoroughfare, Broadway,
has been the scene of some wonderful
events. But the one scene which still
stands as the most remarkable, in
point of enthusiasm, is Louis KOssuth's
famous ride up Broadway, in 1851.
Kossuth had already seen and passed
through a crowd of 100000 people in
his triumphal ride up the great
thOroughfare. The eliminating mo-
ment, however, occurred when the
great Hungarian patriot reached the
corner of Broadway and Ann Street.
The sight that burst upon him stag
gered him for the moment. In the
open square directly before him was
massed together a quarter of a million
of people, and when this vast cOncourse
broke into a united cheer KOssuth was
fairly bewildered. No man saw this
great event SO we'll and advantageously
as did Parke Goodwin, the veteran New
York editor and Kossuth's closest friend
in America. Mr.. Goodwin was with
KOssuth, and for the first time he will
now tell the story of the marvellous
event in the February Ladies Home
Journal. The actual scene at Ann
street will also be shown in picture by
De Thulstrup, showing Kossuth in his
carriage as the great scene burst upon
him.

1t remained for the representative

1t remained for the representative
magazine of the Middle-West, The
Midland Monthly, of Des Moines, to
give to the world the solution of the
historical question, "Who notified the
War Department of John Browns pro-
posed raid on Harper's Ferry, and
what was the informant's motive?'
Ex-Governor Cue, in the February
Midland, assuming his own full share
of responsibility for the act, relates the
whole story of the anonymous letter
with candor which preludes further
question. Governor Cues admissions
will compel rewriting of the history
of the John Brown Movement. Other
interesting features Of the February
Midland are the latest portraits OF
Nellie Grant Sartoris and her son and
two beautiful daughters; portrait Of
Christina Rossetti, painted by her gifted
brother, with an appreciative review Of
her poems; sketch of Jsmaca, "the
land of romance" prize story, "Disil.
lusioned," by Maria Weed; "A Pioneer
Editors Experience" by Hon. John M.

&C. Tarvestad Injured.

Mr.. ]. G. Tarvestad received quite a
severe injury to his left foot on Satur-
day night. He reports the accident as
follows: He boarded the Milwaukee
tram Saturday evening expecting to 60
to Chicago. AS he was going through
the train and was passing from one car
to another, he was rudely grasped by
the throat by some unknown person,
while another man rified his clothes,
taking his pocket book, etc., after
which they rudely kicked him off the
train between Main and Broadway SITS.
and in falling part of his left foot was
run over by the car wheel. He was
taken to E. ]. Riley's residence and
from thence home, and medical aid
summoned, and Is now improving.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

We notice that a number of our ex-
changes are beginning to discuss the
question spoken of in our last issue, Uiz:
the improvement of educational facili-
ties in country districts. People are
being awakened to the importance of a
more thorough educational system, and
the best solution of the problem yet
offered seems to be that ofa central
graded school in each township, with
some meens Of transportation to and
from the building. The Mnsrn city
Globe: Gazette strikes point in speak
ing of educational institutions in their
relation to state institutions:
1t is noteworthy fact that Iowa
with its bOasted new percentage of il
literacy and its school house on every
hill top, has given greater attention
and spent money more lavishly in
building penitentiaries, insane hospitals
and asylums of all kinds for the unfor-
tunates than it has for country school
houses. The great majority of the tax
payers of Iowa send their children to
the little cold barn school house on the
hill where there are no modern con-
veniences and comforts. The children
half frozen, enter little box of house
cheaply constructed, and huddle
around the box stove in the center
these cold mornings, while the wards
of states benevolence are housed in
magnificent structures provided with
the greatest comforts that mOderr
skill and invention have developed.
1t is all right for the prisoners and in
sane to have these comforts and it
would be mighty nice thing if the
children of the farmers of Iowa could
be surrounded in their school rooms
with little more of the elegance and
comforts which are provided in state
buildings.

sides on East Main st. She united

living at Burr Oak, and has lived up
to her faith until death called her to
her long home. She was a kind and
loving woman, and will be greatly
missed by her relatives and many
friends.

Hon. JOHN MCHUGH.

The news reached Decorah Saturday
that John McHugh, of Cresco, had
died at one o'clock that morning. He
had been ill for nearly two years and
death seemed inevitable, as everything
possible was done to relieve him, but
with no avail. Mr.. McHugh was
about So years of age. He was born in
Lindsey, Ont, in 1874, and on coming
to Iowa located at McGregor. From
there he went to Dubuque, thence to
Lawler, and twenty years ago he
settled at Cresco, engaging in the bank
ing business. OF late years he has
been dealing in fine bred live stock and
in real estate.
Seven years ago he WIS a candidate
for nomination for congress from this
district and was defeated by J. H.
Sweeney, of Usage, by only one-fourth
of vote. He served very acceptably
the position of National bank examiner
of Iowa under Harrison. His life has
been one of considerable prominence
and he has host of fiiends in north
ern Iowa who will grieve his loss. The
funeral services will be held at st.
JOseph's Catholic church, CrescO, to-
morrow, Rev. FIR. McCarthy officiating,
and burial will be in st. Joseph's g
cemetery.
