From Fur Collar.
Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 21.-Lieuten-
ant David H Crockett, an officer at
the army reserve depot at New Cum
berland, died Of anthrax.
. According to the medical officer in
charge, he developed the disease on
Monday. The first sign was small

Mr. F., in his life, presents an eX-

livelihood when but ten years of
age But his natural Wit and powers
of observation fitted him 10 become

was early apprentced by tanner

to Randolph, Mass, and lived. work
ing at his trade until 1N45 While liv-
ing in Randolph he avowcd faith in
Christ and the change he there eX-
perienced formed n marked epoch in
his life, and influenced strongly his
whole subsequent life In 1S45 he re-
moved to Skowhegan with his family,
where he continued to live and do
business until his death. In 1858 he
retired from the shoe making and
opened crockery and carpet store
at the well known stand on the cor

this venture he was successful. and
he continued to do business at the
same stand until his recent sickness.
Probably no trader in the country
ever became more widely and fav

always conducted his business fairly

synonym of honesty He did not unite

why We Don't Publish Poetry

Our readers may have noted that
almost no verse appears in lhe COZ
,mns of the ependent-R"poEte
There is a reason for this and We are
sometimes called upon to explain.
There are many poets in this sectloh
as in any other equal area. Oc-
casionally someone will write a piece
in rhyme and meter and send II to us
for publication. Some Of these thus
received are mertorious. They would
interest our readers and often be the
subject of inspiration and pleasure.
We would be glad to publish them,
hut the appearance OF single poem
is sure to call forth perfect flood
of verse, a large part of which is
not worthy OF publication.
This leads to the necessity OF Turn
ing down everything in the verse line,
a not entirely satisfactory CONDITION
Those who take pains to prepare
carefully written poem are, OF course,
anxious 10 see 1t in print They are
disappointed and hurt when we de-
cline to publish.
There is another thought about the
matter. While a LongfelloW, Bry-
ant. or a Whittier, is not born every
day there is always the probability
of some such genius coming into be
ing. If one such, on presenting MS
first poem for publication IN the IN
dependent Reporter, were discouraged
by having it refused. we should, OF
course, have done the world an ire
parable injury. We have given the
matter good deal Of thought, but
have never been able to arrive at a
really satisfactory solution Of the
question. We cannot publish the
now-and-then verse that seems to us
to have merit, because of the result
ing necessity of disappointing and
hurting the feelings OF the hundreds
of good people that would thereby
be encouraged to send still more
verse. We are making this explain
alton as clear as possible in the
hope that readers who offer poetry
for publication will remember and
understand why 1t doesn't appear.

Find Bond Reads 81, 800
Instead Of $4,000, Now
Sue Insurance Company

When the Farmers Union Grain
Co. examined the surety bond of
Charles S. Borin, its Omaha man
ager, after he disappeared with
funds of the company last March,
it discovered that the bond was
made out for $500 instead Of for
$4,000.
The grain company filed suit in
district court yesterday, asking that
this change in the figures be adjust
ed, alleging that it was merely a
clerical error and declaring that the
premium was paid on $4,000 bond.
The suit is directed against the
United States Fidelity & Guaranty
company and Charles S. Borin.
The second count of the suit asks
that the surety company be ordered
to pay the full amount of the bond,
$25,O0O. The petition states that
Charles S. Borin converted to his
own use, or to the use of others,
SAL 1893 of the firms funds.
