Wireless Telegram Read at Mcclellan

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Democrats

the name of William j. Bryan. De
Almond, Mayor Mcclellan, Bourke
Cochran and others were taken in by
the joke.
Mr.. De Almond had just concluded
his speech when a telegraph messenger
in the regular uniform provided by
appeared. A waiter took an envelope
from him and passed it to Mr. De Ar
mond, to whom it was addressed. Mr.
De Almond broke the seal, and, after
reading the message passed it along
to Mayor Mcclellan.
The mayor read the message and in
turn handed it to the POSTMASTER
Who after reading it, passed it back
to Mr.. De Almond with the whispered
suggestion that it be read aloud. The

Gone But Not FORGOTTEN.

AS we announced last week Rev. H.
o. Ross has been transferred from the
Castalia- Bethel circuit of the United
Brethren church to larger field of
usefulness at Gladbrook, Iowa, and
where we trust he may soon find as
warm and true friends as he leaves be-
hind. During his several years. pas
torate in this vicinity he has done
much good in the masters vineyard,
awakened to renewed christian zeal
and energy the members Eof his focks
and been instrumental in bringing
over to the Lords side many from
without the fold. Blessed with sun
ny disposition he carried gladness
wherever he went (; and in the same
cordial manner he greeted high and
low, rich and poor. saint and sinner,
for he was christian man, and long
may he be spared to labor in the cause.
And while he has gone from those
among whom he has labored and loved,
he is not forgotten. -Postville r eview

Fish Out On Land.

Parties up the river in Eagle Point
vicinity Friday were astonished to
fiud denizens of the river out on land
The terrific rain the day before brought
the river up to near high water mark,
and overfiowed the fats, leaving in
sunken places many fish, frogs, turtles,
etc. The next day the water subsidized
and in shallow pools covered with
she'll ice the fish were noticed, in some
instances the back fin sticking up
through the ice. Two men who were
out hunting gathered up number of
half dead black bass, redhorse and
suckers. several of the bass weighing
probably three pounds each. Mud
turtles by the dozen, and many frogs
were scattered over the ground, all
sluggish and stiff with the cold, be-
ing just able to crawl. Postal Gard.

West Union Store Closed.

The dry goods store of John Owens,
one of the largest in West Union, was
closed Friday by virtue of an attach
ment placed in the sheriff's hands by
the National and State banks at this
place. The amount of Indebtedness
due the plaintiffs is alleged in the
petition to be about $4,000. The
store will probably remain closed un-
til the case is disposed of in the April
term of the district court. Mr.. Owens
has always been regarded as shrewd
and practical business man and this
seeming failure to meet his obligations
cannot be accounted for.
