fellow claiming the name of
John Parks, about $50 this af-
ternoon went into the store OPP
Grated by Mrs. N. M. Haldeman
purchased pair of pants, a shirt
and cap, and offered in payment
a check for $12.7O, presumably
signed by Robert Hatcher, a
prominent farmer living in the
country about four miles east
of here. The check was readi-
ly accepted and cash given the
fellow in excess of the amount
of his purchase. He then sta
ted that he would leave the goods
in the store and would call for
them in the morning, as he wan
ted to go to Council Bluffs to-
night.
Just about this time the local
train for Council Bluffs pulled
into the station and the fellow
ran to catch it but it is believed
missed it, and started to walk
into the city.
The check was soon found to
be a forgery. 1t was learned
that a man answering the de-
scription of the fellow was seen
walking along the railroad track
toward Council Bluffs near Cres-
cent. The constable there was
notified and followed him to
about two miles of that place
where he was overtaken and ar
rested about s o'clock. The de-
scription tallies exactly, and
Mrs Haldeman is quite sure that
the right party is under arrest

An old proverb says, "the

last" This, like most proverbs,
lis full Of the wisdom that comes
from experience; but like most
general rules it has it's except

he is in the wrong business he
should get out of it. If Ameri-
cas- greatest general had heed
ed the proverb he would have
died a tanner and the history OF
the United States could not be
as it is. If a man be fitted fol
the position he occupies let him
stick to it by all means, but if

likely to win success by stick

was indeed very helpful, en-

only regret that the threaten

from attending the same ser

how the rail splitter and the
canal boy had, in this country
risen until they wore the inn
perial purple, the high school
doubled a boys chances of be-
coming truly famous, how the
college education increased his
opportunities seven fold. In
speaking of influential men of
education he told us of Moses
and his philanthropy, of Paul
and his logic, of Luther and his
contribution of a new Europe
to civilization. Once in this
country wells needed only to be
dug a few feet deep to get
water, but now they must be
sunk deep for that purpose.
