The Pioneers have asked bids from at- torneys with view of commencing ac- ton against the territory for the pur- pose of recovering the money embedded by their president, Fred G. Hughes.

Fred Hughes Shortage.

Expert Ueney is sbll bnsiiy engaged Tn exporting the booLs of the missing ex-cIerk of the board of supervisors, Fred Hughes, and cannot tell exactly when he will finish the task. The books are in such a condition that the greatest care and attention is required to unravel the sDarl, but Mir. Heney, fortunately for the people of tbis county, is fully equal to the occasion. The amount of the shortage, as thus far ascertained amounts to between $5,0O0 and $6,OOO. Of this sum, between $4.0O0 and 5000 is money belonging to the county. The remainder, $500 or more, is money be- longing to private individuals who held warrants against the county. Another strange feature of the case is that ex- Clerk Hughes gave no bond for the faithful performance of his duties dur ing the term of 1S95.6. It is stated that he was several times requested to fur nIsh his bond, by the board of super Vlsors, and always promised to do so, but never did. The expert is unable to state at the present time what propor- tion of the shortage was contracted during the first term. For the second term Hughes furnished bond in the sum of 5000, with two sureties who are well worth the amonnt.

fined with years. True as STEEL" is a
common phrase. Sensitive as steel
would be equally applicable. We swords

Suddenly the letters from the
younger son ceased coming. and they
heard later that he had sailed away
from San Francisco for some distant
land and that the vessel was never
heard from again. They heard of this
in May, and when Memorial day came
around a wreath Of roses and forget-me-
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1898-05-25

nots was placed around the portrait of
the loved and lost, which fianked my
position on the mantelpiece. On that
Memorial day the other son came home
on furlough and announced his appoint
ment as an officer upon one of our cruz
sers. My old master gave me to him,
and babe me serve the son as had
bravely served the sire. Soldiers are
always ready, so l gladly obeyed.
Proudly we sailed the seas. Strange
ly enough my young masters chosen
friend on the vessel was Carroll Poin-
dexter, son of the confederate colonel
who once wore me for awhile. The son
of the man in gray was the bosom friend
of the son of the man in blue, both 10y
ally serving under the old flag, united
heart and soul against its foes. 1t
pleased me to note their friendship as
the sunny symbol following the storm
cloud Of civil war.
Finally we anchored one day in har
Dor of the tropics. The land-locked
bay was almost in the center of large
city, whose gayly-colored houses stood
out against backgrounds of palms, and
farther still great mountains which
erected natures cathedral spires and
lifted their sunit SUBMITS to the azure
sky.
There was revolution on the beauti-
full island and feeling ran high. Sud-
denly one night, as my master and his
companion conversed in low tones in
their hammocks, there came sound as
of thunder, the great ship heaved and
rocked, fires burst forth as though her
interior had become the crater of a vol
cano, and by their baleful light bodies
of men could be seen hurled into the
air, some shattered, some whole, while
underneath the watching sharks waited
for their prey and overhead great vul-
lures gathered for their grewsome
feast. 1t seemed like a section of the
judgment day breaking prematurely
before the natural coming of the dawn.
The Maine had been blown up and an
other event had been written in blood
and flame upon the pages of history.
The two comrades, my master and his
friend, both died. They were brave and
comely youths. God keep their memory
green!

upon my throne, more priceless relic
now than ever. 1t chilled me to note

gard it their duty to serve their owners
regardless of the cause they espouse, it
went against the grain to strike at those
who wore the union blue. But my new
master was every inch a soldier and a
manly fellow. True hearts beat as
nobly under confederate gray as under
union blue. Thank God that the noblest
of them all beat together in loyalty
now! The fraternity of truly noble
souls asserted itself upon occasion, even
then.
One day about four weeks after my
capture, Col. Poindexter bore me on a
round of visits through the hospitals.
Past cot after cot we went, most of the
pale faces thereon being those of union
soldiers. Suddenly we came to one
upon which lay Col. Carroll, my COM
rade whom 1 had mourned as dead. Col
PoindeXter recognized him at once,
spoke kindly to him and spent some
time in conversation. l could have
leaped out of my scabbard in my anX-
iety to rejoin my brave comrade of the
union cause, but could not. 1t is our
misfortune that we may change places
only at the will of others. Suddenly a
pleasant thing happened. Col. Poin-
dexter unbuckled me from his belt, laid
me on the cot beside Col. Carroll, said
Take your weapon, colonel, your cour-
age entities you to wear it" and walked
! swiftly away. Col. Carroll actually
kissed me in his delight, and l verify
believe his recovery was twice as rapid
after that day. Soon after we were eX-
changed, and again led some Of the boys
in blue as they fought for the good ole
banner of the stars.
By and by we saw the end together.
At AppomattoX the conquered banner

to rise no more forever. The gallant
ranks in gray melted away and scat

THIS IS A "HOT" ONE.

Lake Crystal, Mimi, July 3lst, 1897.
April 9Th, 1892, my little boy, just four
years old, was terribly scalded by falling
backward into pail full of boiling water.
He fell into it in such manner that he re-
manned doubled up until his mother, who
was in the next room, could come to his res
cue. In tearing his clothing from him, the
skin and flesh came off in strips, and the
mothers hands were badly burned. The
skin came off his body from above the middle
of the back to below the calves of his legs.
The burn was deep and the case desperate.
For two months he was under the care of our
family physician. We then took him to St.
Paul and acting under his alvice called in one
of the leading surgeons of the city, who took
the case in charge. Other physicians were
called in consultation; sixty pieces of skin
were grated at one time, yet notwithstand-
ing all the skill of the doctors and the most
unremitting care, two months afterwards all
hope. had been given up. For months he
had lain on pillows with his face down and
suffered terribly. He had no appetite and
could retain nothing on his stomach.
The sores were indolent and for two
months had lain perfectly dormant My
attention was then called to Aliens Uterine
Salve, and in desperation, ready to try any,
thing that promised help, we commenced its
use. Results were apparent. at once: 1t at
lated healthy discharge We kept the
boys strength up with a preparation of
beef's blood and wine, and in about two
months he was well on the road to recovery,
and we were able to remove him back to our
home. Thirteen months from the time he
was injured he was perfectly restored. 1t
has been over four years since the cure was
effected and the boy is perfectly well and
remarkably strong and active. | believe
that Aliens Ulcerine Salve saved his life, as
when we commenced its use all hopes had
been given up, and blood poisoning was ex-
pected to set in any moment. 1t was four
months after he was burned before we be-
gan to use the Salve: Signed, II. E; WOODS,

with eyes brighter than my flashing
blade or the jewels upon my hilt made
the presentation in behalf of the ladies,

the captain regarded her that he
thought more of the gift because of the
giver. She was petite, a mere morsel
of humanity, but as dainty a norsel as
ever made a mark for Cupid's busy

Who met by chance that day.
One had eyes of loveliest blue,

And then they clasped each other and wept,

And 1t matters not what theywere on earth,
They are clothed in white to-day"
And when we came to the station,
A very small town by the way,
The men all stood bareheaded
AS the two went on their way.
They walked up the street together,
Like children hand in hand,
Out on the country highway
Where the old church used to stand.
And on and on till they reached the place
Where their soldiers brave were laid;
Then they kissed and wept Ger each grave
alike,
And together knelt down and prayed;
Then each told the other about the past,
How they lived with their children dear,
And agreed, while God would spare their
lives,
To meet there once year.
And then they walked back to the station,
These soldiers widows in tears,
Helped by each others sympathy,
To bear their burden of years,
Back to the west they Travelled,
To their children, kind and true;
One with eyes of the sweetest gray,
The other, the loveliest blue.

Larkins held his hat as directed and

The entire party of four men hurried
up the stairs and into a room in which
were half a dozen negroes around a card
table. The police were upon them before
they knew what had happened. A more
surprised lot of men was never seen. The

advanced to meet the Captain. He was
too astonished to speak.

Larkins. The mans face turned from
black TO pale green, as near white as was
possible.

They all turned on the poor fellow ana
blamed him for letting in the police. Con-
traryNto expectation, no gambling was
going on. The men were playing cards,
but no money was out. The police were
thoroughly satisfied with what they saw,
and it is not likely that they will troubls
the Keystone Club again. They returned
the key and left, telling the men to be
more careful in future whom they let in.
