The adult population. north as well as south, may possibly still harbor some Of the old feel ing Of antagonism, but no well-wisher Of good government will desire these differences car ried into the next generation.

Harden Confessed.

Will Harden, one of the men charged with murdering Hugh Patterson in Van Buren county, has made confes- sion. The murder for which Hardin and Lee Mills, both well known eiti- zens, are to answer at the bar of justice, caused intense excitement, and when the men were arrested it was with diff eulty that the officers prevented dou- ble lynching. In his confession Harden states that he and Mills had planned to rob Patterson, and went to his house for that purpose. Mills went to the kitchen door armed with a Winchester for the purpose of keeping the mem bers of the family seated, while Harden entered the house to search for the money Patterson was supposed to have concealed about the place. When Mills stepped in the door Patterson and hls two sons started up, and desperate battle followed The robbers used their guns and knives, cutting old man Pat terson's throat from ear to ear and ser iously wounding three members of his family. Harden claims that Mills cut Patterson's throat.

A man on a hi- cycle was scorching cheerily along on the way to town, when suddenly there loomed up out of the daf6ness in front of him heavy wagon and Q team headed straight for him. There was 10 time to turn out The wheel crashed into the wagon pole, and the rider was thrown completely over the horses, fall ing between them and the wagon. The oeu- list ran to the rescue, expecting to see q limp mass of bleeding and unconscious hu. manity. Instead, he saw a kicking and swearing person who was apparently unin. jured. The bicycle was a Chinese puzzle of
