compromise was accepted with a good
deal of enthusiasm by Mr.. Blue and
Mr.. Montgomery, and the Rev. Mr..
Prince promised to be present the next
morning at ten O'Clock to act as UNI
pire.
Long before the appointed hour, not
only Mr.. Prince, but the greater part
of the colored population of Middle
town, assembled to see the result of
the compromise. At h~alf-past nine Mr..
Blue appeared on the ground with his
original horse and u other horses bor-
rowed by him, with the nefarious pur-
pose of pulling the house away from
Mr.. Montgomery's mule; but at a quar-
ter before ten the latter arrived with
II mules and six pairs of oxen. A long
argument ensued as to the admissible
ty Of borrowed horses and borrowed
mules, and Mr.. Blue raised the point
that oxen We're clearly a viouation of
the spirit as well as the letter of the
compromise; but Mr.. Prince decided
that each contestant had the right to
use all the draught animals he could
obtain, and that the compromise must
be carried ont.
The horses were duly attached to one
end of the house, and the mules and
oxen 10 the other. When all was ready

seconds 1t seemed doubtful to which
side victory inclined, but suddenly
there was d rending of timber. and the
two halves Of the house were dragged
in opposite directions, each utterly

tirewood.
Mr.. Blue, rendered desperate by the
unexpected result OF the compromise
grasped his mighty rawhide whip firm
ly in his hand and fell p Mr.. Mont
gomery. The latter, who preferred a
hickory club to a whip, was not slow
to defend himself. The two Infatuated
men fought all over the ground. and

Accidental Shooting,

Last Friday evening while exhibit
ing revolver to the victim who was
prospective purchaser of the weapon,
Elmer Taylor was badly wounded at
the hands OF Will Klaffke. The two
were in Gravos' restaurant and Klaffke
supposed he had elected all the cart
ridges from the revolver, but one re-
mained and was discharged while
Klaffke was swapping the hammer to
show how it worked. The victim was
taken to the hospital immedia tely by
Drs. Scripture and Barrett. The bull
let lodged under the shoulder blade
and was extracted the day following,
and the sufferer is rapidly recovering.

OBITUARY.

1.-The people of Cresco were inexpressi-
bly, shocked Sunday morning to learn
that Mrs. Charles T.. Millard had
passed away early that morning at
about the turn of the day. But
few knew that she was i'll and she had
not been compelled to take to her
bed until Wednesday last, but the de-
bility following a severe attack Of
typhoid fever about a year ago, left
her system an easy and quick prey to
the ravages of the disease, la grippe,
which claimed her in death.
Mary Estella Morgan, daughter Of
Emma and Willard Morgan was born
in Richmond, Walworth county, Wis.,,
Jan. %, 1870. At the age Of five, she
moved with her parents to Cresco,
Iowa, where she grew to womanhood.
At the age of II she graduated from
the Cresco High School, after which
she pursued course in the business
: college of the U. I. U. at Fayette, Ia
August, 1895, she was united in mar
riage to charles T. Millard. Four
children came to bless the home, two
sons and two daughters. The little
girls are with their mother. Manley,
aged I, and Walter, 10 months of age,
are left to comfort the broken heart
Of the father. At the age of twelve
the deceased united with the M. E..
church during the pastorate OF Rev.
Geo. w. Ballou, and has always been
oyal to her church and faithful In
life. Besides the stricken husband
and motherless children she leaves a
mother, father and one brother, Her
bert e. Morgan.
The funeral was held this morning
at 10 O'Clock, at the M. e. church, her

Another Dip Into the Public Money.

Despite the protests on the part of
the PLAIN DEALER and a large ma
jority of our citizens, the city council
seems disposed to persist in consider
ing the taxpayers of the town as mar
OF so little consequence as to merit
no consideration whatever when the
wishes or interest of the council or
city officers are to the contrary.
Not content with salary grabbing,
land by-the-way, three of the alder
men had neglected to refund their
double pay as late as four days ago.,
doing work for the city in defiance of
law, letting contracts to themselves,
awarding city work to favorites
instead of to the lowest bidders, ne
glect of plain official duty, and other
things illegal ard beyond any warrant
of law or common sense, our board Of
aldermen have again fouted in the
faces of the people their disrespect Of
the law they are sworn to uphold in
the allowance of claim at their last
meeting of S1S7.35, for which there is
neither law or precedence.
Some of the city officials, too
cowardly to do the work for which
they are chosen, hire couple of
Chicago detectives to spy upon our
people in the hope of detecting some
violations of law. The bill for their
dirty work is foisted upon the people.
The minutes of the last meeting of
the council records the fact that the
bill Of the American Detective Agen-
cy which follows, was allowed with
but one dissenting vote. The record
ed minutes recite that it was done in
suppression of the liquor traffic and
other evils"

RELIGION IN THE OPEN,
TOPIC OF REV. EDDY
General Idea Advanced Is That at
Present There Is Too
Much Bondage.

Rev. Frank Fay Eddy spoke yester-
day at Unitarian hall on Religion In
the Open" The general Idea advanced
was that In our life OF civilization
there is much of bondage. There is
the bondage of the home, of business.
and especially of customs and creeds
and institutions Man in his clviliza-
ton has no greater need than TO keep
a way open to escape at times into
the open. Our very houses. our lux
urfes and conyenienceS are all in a
sense. symbols Of this bondage.
Man finds this escape in two dlrec-
uons only-ln nature and human ma
ture. The true nature lover can al
ways find an avenue leading into the
open. 1t is significant that we have
In the Wide. semi-arid plains in this
region conditions similar to those
in which Judaism was produced. The
only phase of nature comparable IN
spiritual suggestiyenesS to our plains
Is the sea. Human nature. as repre-
sented In great lives and great litera-
ture, is another open way out OF bond
age
Religion of Open Ways
Mr.. Eddy expressed it as his opinion
that all great religion must be a re-
religion of the great lives, write its
gospels In great literature and
find in nature revelation in the un-
folding of a great plan and see In
nature great spiritual suggestions be-
yond words to express Churchly Gus
toms, creeds and organized institutions
may all have their place. at least their
historical place, but the soul that Is
dependent on churches. creeds or ritu-
al for religious expression IS in great
need of escaping into the open places.
a religion OF universal elements and
universal application is really In the
world. Let the immensity of nature.
the grandeur Of noble lives and the
beauty and truth of great words teach
IT to US.
