GAINESVILLE, Wis, Jan. 13.-[Special.] J.
Green goods fakirs in the city of New

OF the leading business men of GAINESVILLE

dear sir, am fully aware Of the suspicion
and prejudice that you naturally will en-

will credit me with not being fool enough

The methods of the so-called green goods

time In the daily press. They send out
seductive circular letters to ignorant farm

they are the parties spoken of in the article

NOT, inducing them to send on their hard
earned money and sending them vaise OF

The reasons these rascals fird it profitable
to work this game is because they know,
and they take it for granted, that the peo-
pie III general know that there are hundreds
OF thousands of dollars Ounterfeit-in cir

boat on account of the terrific heat and
natives were employed to perform the

of being stricken, by the heat. In none
of his letters did he mention that he was
ill. Why he should take his own life is
indeed not only a mystery TO his wife,
but to the Interested relatives both in
this city and Vincennes. Ind. $50

Princeton, n, j, April a0-President
Frnncl, l.. Patton, OF Princeton univer-

against a revision Of tho Prcsby erian con-

statement:
IF tho Presbyterian Church ceases to
10 q Culvanastc chuoh it will no need the
Caiyanistic creed, II the Presbyterian
Church is a CAlvinistio church, as bo-
leive it to bo then there is no need OF re-
yising the confession of faith.
No minister i required to sign the croed
in ipsimis vervis' No church member
Is required to subscribe to the creed.
The confession of faith Is q very good
expression OF tho Calvinistic system or be-.
lief, and all agitation upon revision OF
the confession Of faith, in my Judgment
Is unnecessary.
