Monday afternoon the trial came off, and Priebe shouldered the 8 gallons of beer and started.

Now a keg with 8 gallons of beer in it is hefty, and if Priebe had not had about two gallons of beer in him he would not have made so foolish a wager. Well, he carried the keg the first of a mile, and dropped it. It was too much for him. He couldn't carry it back, and was forced to get a team to haul it home. So he lost the bet and had his work for nix.

Yes sah. You heah me shoutin." Horses Stolen. Last Thursday night, a man who had been working for Jobn D. Hier, near Elwood, together with another thief, stole two mules and three horses from the stable of Mr. Hier.

As soon as the loss was ascertained, Friday morning, Mr. Hier started in pursuit. Before he got to Wathena he met one of the horses returning home, the animal evidently having got away from the thieves. At this place he informed Mr. Selover, his partner in the mill, of his loss, when Selover immediatly telegraphed to Atchison, to the police offering a reward for the capture of the thieves and horses, and he started for Atchison by one route and Mr.

Hier by another, Arriving at Independence Creek the lost horses were found. A colored man, at work for a Mr. Dickason, was going along the road early Friday morning, when he found the horses tied in the brush. He at once informed Mr. Dickason of the fact, and that gentleman took charge of the horses and delivered them to the owner, who paid the reward offered.

Two men were seen to run out of the brush across a stubble field, who no doubt were the thieves. The two mules were found by citizens of Elwood, in the bottom. They probably did not lead well and were turned loose. It is very probable that Selover and Hier would not have arrested the thieves had they found them! Mr. Hier passed through Wathena Saturday with his horses, all right, but a little jaded by the big ride the thieves gave them Thursday night.

Mount Airy Anglings. Weather very warm for the season. Busy times and items scarce. The theme for farmers now is planting corn. Mrs Vegard has been very sick for some time.

Farmers in general are well pleased with the herd law in this neighborhood. Easter Sunday passed off very quiet, in this vicinity. Mr. Stockberger, the Superintendent of the County poor farm, is the first one to say I am done planting corn for this season There was a professional tramp is this vicinity trying to find work, at the same time wishing never to find any. Mr.

Rice, the boss sheep raiser of this vicinity sheared his sheep last week of which he has nearly 150 head. He thinks there is more money in sheep than in hogs. Connundrum: Chas. N---g is so happy because he will soon have a wife to talk to, quarrel with, kiss, and make up with again. Chas Fitzpatrick met with an accident last week while riding his horse.

It became frightened, throwing him to the ground, fracturing his arm and shoulYou BET. der Birthday Celebration. On Sunday last, Mrs. Ursula Deiter, mother of Peter Deiter of this place, was 78 years jold consequently a number of relations and acquaintances of the family gathered at her house to congratulate her. A nice lunch was served with wine and beer, after which there was music and dancing, until dark.

Mrs. Deiter was born in the Kingdom of Wurtemburg Germany, and although 78 years old, is as lively and full of fun as a lass of twenty. She joined in the dance, with the rest, and seemed to enjoy it very much, and it was a matter of comment. that she danced as graceful as the best dancer in the house. Our German citizens are industrious and thrifty.

They like their wine and beer, and think it no harm to spend Sunday in reoreation. It is the custom in the old country to go to church in the morning, and to the gardens in the evening, where there is music singing, etc. Hence, on Easter Sunday the birthday of this old lady, they saw no harm in a family entertainment and re-union. May Mrs. Deiter live to see many more Easter Sundays.

Selover Hier are building a corn crib back of their mill. If you would CATCH A SWEETHEART, young man, buy a Dress Suit of BITD BYRNE, the Popular Market Square Clothiers, ST. JOSEPH, MO. M. E.

Church. Rev. R. A. Hoffinan lectured on "Popular Amusements" at the M.

E. Church last Sunday evening, to a fair audience. The principal subjects touched on were eroquet, cards, billiards, theatres and dancing. He did not consider croquet, when played for health or recreation harmful; but when valuable time, needed for study or business pursuits was taken up with croquet, it was a positive sin. Cards, billiards, theatres and dancing, he considered as social evils which did not venefit society, because there is no lesson to learn from them--nothing good in them; and although, perhaps, some persons might play cards and billiards, visit theaters and dances without being injured thereby, he thought the general tendency such things led to the bad, and ruined those who were so constituted that they could not resist the evil influences arising from the bad associations met at such places.

A passion for gambling might be formed by playing cards or billiards for amusement. The modern theater, the speaker said was degrading and licentious. He was partienlarly severe on dancing, and said that instead of being a healthful exercise it was exactly the reverse. Thousands of people can trace the first seeds of consumption, rheumatism, dyspepsia, and other bodily ills which afflict them, to the overheated and overcrowded ball room; and to late hours, late suppers, and intemperate drinks thereat. He thought daneing mor illy wrong in all its phases and productive of premature death.

Harms closed with an eloquent prayer, invoking God's blessing on all the people of Wathena. The choir sang "Nothing but Leaves," and the congregation was dismissed. Preaching next Sunday night. Subject, "The Immortality of the Soul." Flowers. Nature has given us nothing which so enlightens the human heart and is so pleasing to the sight as flowers.

During the Summer one can look out and admire trees laden with rich fruit, cornfields green with growing corn, and fields of wheat waving with golden grain. We look upon these with admiration because they are a necessity--that which we have sustain life; but we admire flowers for their beauty alone. Who is so void of an ideal nature as to tread a flower beneath his feet scorn? Who is it that cannot enjoy inhal-41 ing the fragrance from beautiful bouquet? Who would have a home without flowers? Who could admire a city or town that is destitute of flowers? Who, we ask, is it that is so void of that sublimity of mind as not to pluck with an air of approbation the wild flowers that grow upon the prairles? Now Wathena is possesed of idealty. She doats on flowers, not only in making home pleasant attractive, but even our streets, alleys, and Harding's cow pasture covered with flowers-dog-fennel-and no one dares to harm a single rose. It is for admiration of the general public, and the public appreciates it.

And while we are speaking of flowers we hereby knowledge the receipt of a beautiful bouquet from Mr. and Mrs. Gus. Miller's "Rose Hill" residence and our wife and self return thanks for the fragrant gift. slanderers.

It is an easy and a common thing for men who have no character or standing in society, to vilify and slander those whom they are jealous of. These slanderers, though they have no influence, and are despised by the respectable portion of the community, are annoying to one just the same as gnats, or barking dogs. We woula rather have the good will and respect of one good man, than the proffered friendship of a thousand of these sneaks, who stab you behind your back, and are brave in denouncing you--at a distance. A man's every day life is proof against all that his enemies can say against him. If he is a sober and industrious, citizen, people will notice it, and give him credit for it.

No one should worry about what an irresponsible scallawag says about them. If you have true merrit and are in a fair to success in life, it often rouses the ire of your enemies who put their tongues to wagging, against you, little thinking that people, while they often listen to them, heartily despise them for their tatling, lying propensities. There are some people we would rather have against us than for us. Sneaks, will be sneaks; slanderers will be slanderers. It's the nature of the brutes to be just as they are.

Personal. Mayor Schultz, of Elwood, called on us Thursday. Mr. Schultz is one of the enterprising citizens of Elwood, and a clever gentlemen. He will look after the interests of that town with fatherly care.

Our young friend Ames Craig has gone to St. Joseph, to take a position in the grocery and provision house of Obe Craig, of that city. We were pleased meet, and make the acquaintance of Sheriff Burkhalter, who gave us a call Wednesday. Mr. Burkhalter is a social, pleasant gentleman, and is one of the best Sheriff's Domphan County ever had.

He is business all over, and popular with the people, because he is a working man, plain, honest, and always! reliable. Doniphan County has no better man in it than Charley Burkhalter. Cyrus Leland of Troy, was in the city yesterday. He is a pleasant gentleman and has hosts of friends everywhere. Brazelton invites everybody to call and price his new goods.

What do you think of wool hats for only 25 cents? Yet Brazelton sells 'em that way, and goods in proportion. By all means go "Old Reliable" store other, of John Brazelton. 41 Rev. E.
