Treasurer Sues Himself.

A peculiar legal case will probably
come up soor in the district court.
County Treasurer Ream will sue him
self for the recovery of sum of
money. When the First National
bank failed the county had some
money in the bank belonging to var
ious school districts of the county,
about $4,000 in all and little over
$4,000 of this had been paid in div
idends, leaving $3,926.75 still un-
paid. OF this nearly $4,000 is COM
ing to the Charlton school district.
Mr.. Ream is a member of the Chari-
ton school board, and chairman of
the finance committee, and it now be-
comes his duty nominally to sue the
county for the recovery of the $4,000
as it looks as if very little more will
be recovered from the bank receiver,
the way things are being dragged
along. The suit will have to be
brought against the county treasurer,
nominally, and the county treasurer
is at present Mr.. Ream, so it will be
a case of him suing himself, imper-
sonally. The county will probably
call upon the former treasurer's
bondsmen to make up the shortage.

The Other Side.

A. r. Barnes, of Abba, who was
beaten in the race for the nomination
to the office of representative in Mon
roe county by George Wocdson, the
negro attorney, has written the fol-
loving letter to the Abba News:
My candidacy for the legislature
was based on the support voluntarily
rendered me by old soldiers and citi-
zens of splendid reputation and not
one of them was 2ctuated by other
than pure motives. Out of twenty
one old soldiers who were in my Of
flee one Saturday eighteen said they
would not support the colOred aspir-
ant before or after the primary, and
they said my candidacy for the office
would result in attracting to me the
most intelligent people of the colored
race, when they were apprised that
my father was the most prominent
abolitonist in Monroe county in
slavery days; kept the station Of the
underground railway in Abba, and
four years of my life had gone to-
ward releasing the colored men from
bondage. They have forgotten in
their scramble for Office for one Of
their race, and haven't sense enough
to know that he was urged by some
to stand as q candidate to be the
bcllwether to lead the flock to vote
for the ticket upon which his name
was placed with no purpose to elect
him.
My nomination papers were signed
by many old soldiers and the best
citizens Of the county without solicit
tation Oh my part knew that my
aggressive fight against grafters and
law breakers in the past, and men
who thrive most when litigation is
the rule, would oppose my election,
both at the primary and at the cleo
ton, but I counted that the law re-
specting people of Abba, especially,
and of Monroe county, would vote
soldy for me- In this l am greatly
deceived, and feel Inundated, and
frankly say so. Accepting the ex-
preston Of the voters as indicating
a new order Of thicgs in the county
with which l will be in constant pro-
test | would sooner move out.
| will not engage in controversy
or criticism with any one as to the
result. 1t would do no good. Suffice
it: I have good properties in Abba
and | will sell them at sacrifice,
and make my home in a land of al
most perpetual sunshine and con-
slant blooming flowers, and among
new acquaintance strive to forget
the ffty-eiCht years in building up
the best county seat town in Iowa
Abba And b. so doing I will make
room for another colored lawyer,
perhaps, or mayhaps another law
breaker A. r. Barnes.

Special Musical Program at Chris
tian Church q Great Success.

Inc sacred concert at the Chris
tan church last Sunday evening un-
der the leadership Of Mr.. T. Jo-
names, director of the choir was a
great success. 1t is estimated that
more than five hundred people gath
cred to hear the program which con-
sisted of solos, duets, trios, quar-
tets, choruses and music by the K
or =. orchestra Besides the large
audience which filled both auditor
lum and lecture room, many congre-
gated on the outside, being unable
to gain entrance. The character Of
the work put on showed splendid
effort at the rehearsals. There was
no dragging but every number was
rendered with life and vigor. The
evening was very warm, but the big
fans were kept going all the time,
which added greatly to the comfort
of the audience. The people were
we'll pleased and are looking forward
to the announcement of the next pro-
gram.
The Bible school numbered 154
last Sunday. The older members are
conspicuous for their absence from
this most important session of the
church. If the older members would
do as well as the children we would
soon have to build an addition to
the church to have room. Perhaps
that is what they are afraid of. Will
you not at least visit the church in
Bible study once and see what we
are doing? We will welcome you.
