April of that year, [ think about
the 18th, an event happened
that was not, at that time, re
garded as of particular conse-
quence, but which, by 4 %concat-
enatiOn of subsequent events
and circumstances, became a
part of the most curious history
that was ever made on the Am
erican continent.
A man thought to be a mono
maniac, and by many a down
right lunitic, came to our town
that morning in the prosecution
of a felOneouS enterprise and
which he boldly published to
all who cared to know, and did
it in such a fool hardy way as
to impress people with the idea
that he was either the worst
sort of criminal, or a monumen-
tai incompetent in need of a
guardian. 1t was John Brown
and his band of outlaws, armed
to the teeth, and it is said, had
in Il wagon a lot of stolen neg
roes, whom they were engaged
in conducting to the Canadian
frontier, out of the reach of
their owners. 1t was the same
band of outlaws, that later in
the same year committed an
other crime of a still darker
hue, but which by some means
not eXplainable by any process
of ordinary ratiocination, has
become wedged into world his
tory, to there remain as i'm.
perishable as that ofThermopyle

"What," says Burbank, as he
jumped about two feet straight
up from his chair, with never the
ghost of a smile on his face.
Gathering up his pill bags, his
coat and hat, he shot out the
door as though impelled by
some tremendous force, and go
ing up town at a double quick
pace, rushed into the Broad Axe
Office and was no more seen on
the street that day.

Jesse Crook had opened his
hotel carly in the fall before,
and had kept open house during
the county seat elections later
on, to all Corners in the interest
of our side, and had furnished
lodging and subsistence to Il
colony of young men from Kan

us, and is no flour could be
brought from Missouri, our
only source of supply, he was
obliged TO feed his guests with

in the bill of fare every day of
that long, cold, dreary winter.
Dundy and |, among the rest,
boarded with Jesse, but Dundy
was half the time freezing and

contest at Salem was over, was
mostly confined to the house.

our friends at Salem were
not satisfied with the result
and proceeded to institute pro.
oeedings to contest our right to
the majority that the final poll
gave Falls City. In a former
paper | stated the proceeding
was had before the county
clerk.
In that | was in error; it was
before the probate Judge of the
county, who resided at Rulo,
where he transacted most of his
official business, but he sat at
Salem, the county seat, to hear
the election contest. haYe
before said that a very bitter
political prejudice was enter
tanned against Falls City, by
the people of both Rulo and
Salem, and it was a fact pretty
generally recognized at the
time, that the probate Judge as
an individual, shared in that
prejudice 10 Il very great eX-
tent. SO much indeed as to
render him unfit to hear the
case, as il was out of the ques.

Dan McGary, the leading law
yer al Brownville, was employ
ed on behalf of Salem, while
Falls City was represented by
T.. :. Dundy, who became a
permanent resident of Falls
City ON his return from the
legislation, and myself. The
trial lasted the greater part of
the month of January, much
delay being caused by Dundy
having the ague, and an adj
journment was necessary about
the same time each day to allow
him to undergo his usual shake
and spell of fever. 1t was not
a comfortable experience but
he stood it like a hero, and
when not freezing with the
material chill, or burning up
with the resultant fever, he put
in his best ticks for Falls City,
and fought manfully for the
rights OF his client. But who
can successfully fight blind and
unreasoning prejudice? No
body that anybody has ever
heard of.

we could, and lost of course. \

eopatbie pellets those sugar
creations which. if they do no
good, are not likely to do any
harm. Ned Burbank, Who was
about as smooth a proposition
in most Of his relations with the
people, and especially the fe-
male portion of them. Ito whom
he never told the truth in his

where and in any society, had,

Of those little indictments and
usually kept 4 quantity on

complaint, to anyone, at any
time. As the Inauguration has
a good deal to do with taking
medidine, a dose of almost any
kind, if the taker has confidence
in it's likely to do him good, or
make him think so, which is the
same thing; and it came about
that Ned's pills, as they were
called, were in great requisitiOn
especially among the women in
town, and he was frequently
called to their houses as though
he was a regularly graduated
physician. [ don't know that
he ever made Il charge for his
services, | hardly think he did,
but all the same he was rapidly
gaining a local reputation as 4
successful doctor, for the regu-
lar practice of which profession
he was no more fitted than he
was to be 4 preacher. Never
theless the practice went on
and the reputation grew, until
one day he was sent for to see
a sick woman on the west side
of town, down about where Mrs.
John King now lives. | do not
remember the name of the Wo-
man, nor is it important, but
Ned was ready to respond, and
did. He put on his coat, his hat,
and his best smile, Che always
had one about him., and taking
his pill bags in hand, started
for the house of suffering with
as much gravity and profession

house he found several neigh
Dor women in attendance, which
circumstance suggested the fact
that the case was 4 serious one,
bat it would never do TO let it

all about any human disease.
So he laid aside his pill bags,
his hat and coat, but not his
smile, and inquired very gently
how the sick lady felt. at the
same time feeling her pulse and
making close observation OF her
tongue, Physicians always do
this, first because it is profes-
sional, and besides it gives them
time to take observation of
things in the surroundings,
which Is frequently of the
highest Importance.
Having thus paid his respects
to the professional proprieties,
satisfied himself of the situa-
ton of affairs, he remarked
with great assurance that there
was nothing in the condition to
be alarmed at, that he had been
afflicted in the same way only

"There is a finer bravery shown in
civil than in military llfe," the veteran
statesman said. Il remember one of

Providence service because his chief,
he said, was cruel and inhuman.

LAW AND THE QUEEN

The quaintness of many provisions
of British law is curiously illustrated
in the status of the queen of England.
So far as her majesty's private busi-
ness is concerned, she is not regarded
by the laws and customs of England
as a married woman at all. She is the
only woman in Great Britain who does
not come within the scope of the mar
ried womans property act.
The idea in all this is that AFFAIRS OF
state consume all the time of the king,
and therefore no responsibility for the
queens private business rests upon
him. If the queen contracted debts
in her husbands name, he would not
be responsible for them, as any other
husband in the United Kingdom woul1.
The king cannot be sued for debt, but
the queen can be. Should the king
die, some authorities hold that the
queen could not marry again, in case
she wished to. without the license OF
the kings successor
