money. but in this disposition the treas

Judge Little sent a sworn statement that
he had known Mr.. Brady for many years
and believed him 10 be a reliable man.
In a short time thereafter I got sixty

There Il 4 man by the name Of Lane
living in this county who came 10 the
bank one day and borrowed three hun
dred dollars. Some time after he came
in and told me that when he went home
the day he borrowed the money he went
out 10 clean out his stable and hung
his vest ar the door with the money
in the inside pocket He had calf nm
ming loose in the stable lot and he said
that fool calf slipped up and before he
found out what it was Up 10, it had
eaten up one hundred and seventy dol
lars OF the bank bills Remembering the
other case that I have related, I told
Mr.. Lane If he had killed that calf and
brought ne that chewed paper that I
might have secured him new bills for il,
as II was hardly possible that the calf
had ehewed up those bills any worse
than those that had gone through the
wash-tub.
There was rather a funny incident
took place here during the first street

day with young coIored man and told
me that this here boy had gone down
10 the street fair and flashed a ten-doI-

and ran away with one Of the pieces. I
measured the piece and found that he
had three-hfths of the bill 1 did not.
however, believe his story and I asked
him what he was flashing ten dollars al
the street fair for when the politician
said: Why, he flashed it Just like you
would" I said: No. not iINe me. never

GOSSIP FOR HOME PEOPLE.

nitted and for that reason al that trans
PRED az that meeting was never pub
Iished.
I'VE went to the Copeland Hotel for
Senator ingalls, and he came TO the eau
Gus and made a speech-the finest ever
heard him deliver. He said he knew
he was going to. be defeated III the NOR
TOW, but that he was gran ful 10 the
Republican part OF the Senate for all
il had done for him for it had granted
his every request
He attributed his downfall ~ the rise
OF new political -'olligarchy~ Senator
ingalls, used big words and this word
which he used on that occasion has
always remained IN my memory.
referring 10 the death and burial OF
Senator Plumb. Senator ingalls, said:
When my colleague was buried,
was at his side but was not
invited do not blame the Republican
party for that but it was due TO the
movement which has resulted in this Do
utical oTigarchy-
'On all questions of statesmaxship.~

mistake in going into politics and should
have confined himself to literary labors

not spoken more than two minutes until

Frying Pan. and he often told the rest Of
the party that there were no bears within
fifty miles.
one day while the other mernbeTs Of the
party we've quietly fshIns IN the river
they heard a splashing ard looking up

TALK OF
THE TOWN

I water from getting into his nostrils
Some Of the boys went up and tolc
Vance that the mule was afoat on the
raging tide OF the Great Arkansas. and
the principal merchant Of Derby came
tearing down 10 the ford emitting some
words that would not look pretty in print.
he was expressing his opinion of Boynton
for letting the mule get into the river.
Vance said the mule was not worth
two dollars and a half. but Tom Barns
would have 10 have about seventy-fve
dollars If that mule was washed away.
Nobody could think OF any way 10 rescue
the mule and finally Vance offered five
dollars for the one who would swim the
river and get the mule out OF either
shore.
Jade Hatfield, VINO now lives at Doug
las, al that time was one OF the citizens
OF the locality Of Derby and he was
very courageous young man who had
grown up on the frontier in Western
Iowa Jade said he was the huckleberry
that had need OF that five dollar william.

was given. The explanation is that
Mr.. Winner wrote great many of his
songs over the pen name of Alice
Hawthorne, and he sent "Listen to
the Mocking Bird" into the world over
that name. Another pen name of his
was "Mark Mason" Indeed, most of
his songs were written over names
other than his own, which is proof of
the fact that modesty was one of Mr..
Winners most marked character
istics.
Soldiers of the civil war will remem-
Der another song of Septimus Win
ner's that was the sensation of the
day when it was first put into circu-
lation and that was sung around many
camp fires. This famous old war song
was "Give Us Back Our Old Command
err" 1t was inspired by the removal
of Gen. Mcclellan from command of
the Army of the Potomac. Some idea
of the impression the song made may
he had from the fact that the de-
partment of war felt called upon
to suppress it. Mr.. Winner who no.
titled that he would be imprisoned in
Fort Lafayette if he continued to sell
the song, and public singer, Julia
Mortimer, who was singing it with
tremendous effect on the stage, was
informed that she would be impris-
oned if she continued singing it. More
than $4,000 copies of the songs were
sold in Washington alone, and it's au-
thor became one of the most talked of
men of the day.
Mr.. Winner was also the author of
that old-time favorite, "What Is Home
Without Mother?" Whispering
Hope" and many other favorites.

Lonq Disputed Title.

The government gave woman and
her two children full title to a large
portion of town in Minnesota. The
secretary of the interior decided the
contest, involving a portion of sec
ton 16, which includes portion OF
the town of Cass Lake, MINI.
Nellie Lydeck and her two children,
as Chippewa Indians, applies for al
lotments on this section before the
establishment of the town of Cass
Lake. At that time a suit was pend
ing in the United States supreme
court to determine whether the Sec
ton had passed to the state under
the school law act or belonged to the
Indians.
Later the United States supreme
court decided the issue against the
state, and Mrs. Lydeck pressed her
application tor the allotments.
A part of the town of Cass Lake,
which was sold couple of years ago
at public auction for the purpose of q
townsite, occupies section 10. This
is not affected by the decision.
The remaining portion or the town
passes to the ownership of Mrs. Ly-
deck and her children. They will
have title to all improvements.
Nearly 1000 persons lose their
homes and buildings which cost in
the neighborhood of 100000.
