Troubles of Colored EnlL

In the district,court rather an un-
usual suit has been brought by Willis
Jennings, (colored) }, against Harriet
Orindoff, (colored. 1t seems that the
defendant is the widow of David
Orindofi, who died in 1894, leaving
her little farm of forty acres in Sec
tion 20-23-19., which is in the north
part of the county, northeast of Car
lyle. The widow Orindoff then entered
into a written agreement, with Jen-
nings, who is married man with a
family, that If he would carelfor cher
during her life he could have the little
farm after her death and she is now
seventy-eight years old. He improved
the land, built shanty and barn and
fences, and cared for her. But his am
bition grew and he went to Oklahoma
and got 160.acre farm to which he
wishes to move with his family. Now
the old lady refuses to bulge. He Of
fers to care for her, but shes will not
move. SO Jennings has sued to lhave
his work and improvements valued at
$2l4 declared first lien on the forty,
and then he will leave her to get tired

G. A. r. Got the Prize Organ

Some time ago stranger worked
up voting contest here, a number of
merchants being assigned to give out
coupons with every purchase Of a
certain quantity Of merchandise. The
society or church getting the largest
number Of votes was TO receive an
organ free.
After all these arrangements had
been made the promoter asked the
REGISTER to advertise the scheme
free, and the REGISTER has therefore
declined to mention it. The contest is
now over and the public will be inter-
ested to learn that the G. A. Il. post
received 134, l65 votes, while the Cath
olic church received $500, being the
second largest. a scattering vote
! favored other churches and lodges
and one lone vote was cast for a ives,
side joint. The ladies of the w. r.
c. took charge Of the G. a. Il. cam.
paign and succeeded in cornering most
of the ballots. The organ is a hand

ated at the hall, the one now there
being too old to be active.

encouragingly Then he showed the

"Who told you to bring it, man or

Neither, monsieur; Il was a porter"
This reply made the porter laugh
very much, but NJ. Verduret did not
even smile.
"a porter? Well, do you know this
colleague of yours"

"How does he lookT
"Neither tall nor short. He wore
green vest and had on his medal"
"Your description is so vague that 1t
would suit every porter in the city.
But did your colleague tell you who

"No. monsieur. Putting 10 SOUS in
my hand. he said: Here, carry this to
30 Chaptal street. A coachman on the
boulevard handed 1t to me- Ten sousl
l am sure he made more than l."
This answer seemed to disconcert NJ.
Verduret. So many precautions taken
in sending the letter disturbed him and
disarranged his plans.
"Do you think you would recognize
the porter again?"
Eyes. monsieur, II 1 saw him"

Although ignorant of NJ. Verduret's
plans, Prosper began to comprehend
the sense of his investigations. His
fate depended upon their success, and
yet he almost forgot this in his ad-
miration of this singular man.

porter had left the room, "do you still
think you see in this affair the hand

more than ever, and pious woman,
too and woman who has two pray

to write to you."
"And you hope to find the cut book?''

W4fh&8 gerated. Since the fatal day
when, upon his denunciation, his cash
Ter had been arrested the banker had
been prey to the most gloomy mel
ancholy and absolutely refused to take
any interest in business affairs. He
who had always been so domestic did
not mingle with his family except at
meals, when he would swallow few
mouthfuls and hastily leave the room.
Shut up in his study, he would see no
one.
The day of Prosper's release, about
o'clock, NJ. Fauvel was, as usual,
seated in his study, with his elbows
resting on the table and his face buried
in his hands, when his Office boy rush
cd in with frightened look.
Monsieur, the former cashier, NJ.
Bertomy, is here with n friend. He
says he must see you on business"
The banker started.
"Prosperr' he cried in a voice choked
by anger. How does he dare"-
Then remembering that he ought to
control himself before his servant he
waited a few moments and said in a
tone of forced calmness:
ASK them to walk In"
If NJ. Verduret had counted upon wit
Messing q strange and affecting sight,
he was not disappointed. Nothing
could be more terrible than the atti-
tude of these two men as they stood
confronting each other. The bankers
face was almost purple with suppress
ed anger, as If about to be struck by
! apoplexy. Prosper was pale and mo-
tionless. They stood glaring at each
other. NJ. Verduret curiously watched
them with the indifference and cool
uess of a philosopher who In the most
| violent outbursts of human passion
merely sees subjects for study. Final
ly, the silence becoming more and more
threatening, he decided to break it by
speaking to the banker.
II suppose, monsieur you know that
my young friend has Just been releas-
ed from prison"
YES" replied NJ. Fauvel. making an
effort to control himself-"yes, for
want of sufficient proof"
"Precisely, monsieur, and this want
of proof, as stated in the decision of
mot proved ruins his prospects and
compels him to leave here at once for
America"
At this information NJ. Fauvers fea-
lures relaxed as If relieved.
"Ah, he is going away" he said.
There was no mistaking the resent
full, almost insulting intonatlon OF the
words "goinS away"
"It appears to me-" continued NJ.
