the following Item regarding the manner
in which Justice in muted out by at least
one Linn county official, nays the Stay ton

man's high standard of veracity will not
quoslion the truthfulness of the story.
Two men residing in a back-woods pre
cinct In the county referred to, were un
able to arrive at a satisfactory agree
niont regarding their business tranao
tions, aa to the amount due one or the
other, and concluded to carry the matter
Into the courts. The case was instituted
and net for trial before a justice of the
peace whose conception of justice wns
only equalled by his apparent ignorance
of equity. The best of legal talent from
Hit county an at was engaged by the res
pective parlies and the cane was argued
at lunuth, The rural Justice of the pence,
having heard the testimony, ordeied the
plnlntiir and diifuniiuiit to submit to lilin
lliulr reHpectivo account hooks and tiok
the case under sdyUemeiit. Having
weighed the argument pro and con aud
having very carefully examined the ac
count books, the Justice tlucrend that the
accounts were aipiare, that neither parly
owed the other parly a cent, that they
lioiitd remain good friends and further
adjudged that one-half of the expenses
of the suit nhotild be paid by the plain
till and defendant respectively. '
Da no k a Aiikai), Last Monday was
tn ideal spring day, warm with sunshine,
It was Juet the kind of a day one could
enjoy after the many weeks of rain, al
though the winter has been very mild
throughout. Herein lies danger, The
buds on fruit trees are rapidly swelling
and some of the early varieties sre far
advanced hocatiHu of the continued warm
wr sther for some lime, That heavy froatt
and eliaps considerable freesing will
occur Inter on, Judging from pastsesaons,
ociiis certain, and If this scuiton, proves
no exception to the rule in this particu
lar, tlm fruit treos and shruhWy will he
to far advanced that the frost will
gienlly damage if not intirely kill the
earlv varieties, eapecially of the small
fruit. A mild winter is an indication of
a lute spring In which event the fruit
crop would suffer.

The common belief that horses in a
burning buildiiiK aro ulwuys pauio
stilckiiii and rofractiiry, not rewignlzing
their friends and refusing obedieuoe to
tlnmii who would rescue them, is not
strictly true, as is proved by ail Inoiduut
ridiitnd hy a Com pun ion contributor.
The governor hud a flue bluck driving
to rue culled Dexter. Although strong
and spirited, Defter was docile and obe
dient and was pet tod aud made much
uf by his miiHter. As tho governor kept
no other horse, Dexter had the stable
all to blitiHulf with a clean stall and a
full manger.
The stable was near the boo so, and In
additiou to Dexter'a stall and harness
room contained a large carriage room,
tn out bin and a haymow over the atoll.
One night, when tho family and the
servants were away from borne and the
governor was iu the house alone, be
was awakened by an ominous crackling
and a bright glare on bis chamber win
dow, and before bo could collect bit
sleepy wits ho was startled by a cry un
like any sound ho hud ever beard. As be
sprang out of bod the cry came again,
uud hastening to the window he learned
the can bo. The stable was all abluze,
and out of the smoke and flumes Dextor
was calling his iniiBter to his rescue.
Pausing only to don cont and slippers,
the governor rushed out. The outside
door of the stublu leading into the stall
whs already blocked by the Humes, and
the only entrance to bo bud was through
the carriage room, the harness room and
a narrow entry loading punt the tint bin.
These rooms were ou (Ire orerheud, aud
burning wisps of hay and shingles were
ruining down lu showers.
Lliudod by smoko, the governor stum
bled nli ng tho rouudubout way aud,
roucbing the stall sooner than ho expect
ed, full hoadloug tlown tho steps uguinst
the excited auimuL who was vainly
tugging at bis baiter. Thinking tome
new duugcr threatened him, Dexter
gave a mighty kiok that sent bis muster
! spruwllug aud lntiicd him for a month.
" hou, Dexter I ' shouted tho govern
or. "Don't yon know me, sir? Hteady
now, old fellow, uud we'll got out of
this."
Recognizing his muster's voice, Dex
ter turned his head towurd the prostrate
uiuu aud tittered acouxingwbiuuy quite
unlike bis previous loud cries of alarm.
Knowing be uood fear no more kicks,
the governor crept up aud cut the bultor
ami, calling Dexter to follow him,
limped blindly through the auioks filled
entry and the two blazing rooms be
yond, and close after him went Dexter,
his donu pressed agaiaxt his master'!
shoulder, muu aud horse reaching the
safe outer air together.
"It waa Dnxtur'a oberiiuuee that saved
him," said the governor. "I ouuld not
lead bitn, aud bud be showu the least
obstinacy or auy lesa readiuess to fol
low at a word through all thst round
about, unuociutouud way I must have
left bitn to perish ia tbe flames, bnt be

He is close aud is not easily alunned. It
ia not surprising, then, that the doctor
assumed the utmost gravity when Oris-

"I'm irreatly afruid, " aid the bus-

"What are the symptoms"
"You may regard tiitiui of auegative

"I feared as much. The woman who

Milwaukee Rcpuhllcans Celebrate
Lincoln's Birthday.
The Milwaukee Republican club cele
brated Abraham Lincoln's births' y last
Saturday evening, February 12. An
unusually large attendance was present.
The good program thst was rendered is
due to the efficient progrum committee,
consisting of Messrs. J. . Wet.ler,
Fredlierg and Henry A. Henneman.
After disposing of the routine order of
business, the president, Mr. K. Scott,
announced that we had gathered here to
celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday,
and that the committee had given a great
deal of time in preparing a program (or
the occasion. The entire audience then
lang "America." Among those that
took part were : Master Arthur Bittner,
who ably rendered a violin solo, accom
panied by bis sister, Myrtle. It waa to
well appreciated that an encore was
called (or. Miss Johana Kiel recited
Lincoln's favorite poem, "Why Should
the Spirit of Mortal be Proud?" Miss
Kiel is one who promises to be an elocu
tionist. Annie Bernhsrd ably rendered
the "Bavarian Yoodle," which wat ac
companied by her brother, Samuel, on
the autoharp. Mr. S. C. Spencer then
gave a very able address on the "Life
and Political Career of Abraham Lin
coln." At times be kept the audience
in continual laughter by telling a number
o( "Honest Abe's" comical stories." Mr.
Spencer is an able talker and promises
to do good work In the coming campaign.
Prof. Hunter's quartet cannot pass with
out mention They ably rendered "Life
in tny Childhood Days" and sang "Fairy
Moonlight" for an encore.
The president, Mr. It. Scott, then
briefly spoke of Lincoln's lii'e, home and
tomb which be hat seen personally.
Good feeling prevails in the republican
ranks in Milwaukee and it promises to
be one of the banner precincts of the
county.
The sarprise for All.
Mr. James Jonee, of the drusi firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, 111., in speaking
of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that
last winter bia wife was attacked with
La Grippe, ami her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for ber. It seemed to
izrtiop Icto tiz'j consumption. Hav
ing Dr. King't New Discovery ia the
store, and selling lots of it, he took a
bottle home, and to the surprise ol all
she began to get better from first dose,
and half dozen dollar bottles cured her
sound and well. Dr. King's New Dis
covery lor Consumption, Coughs and
Colds is guaranteed to do this good work.

The factory towns of the East are noted
for affording the best market to the neigh
boring farmers and gardeners in proportion
to the population of any of the towns in
that section. The reason for this is that
the people of these towns have a fixed in
come upon which they can always depend,
and, as a consequence, they are liberal buy
ers, paying cash for all their purchases.
