''Of ootrrrt I know wh^le lot. hips ^beeii published about the operations 6t the green goods manipulators, Wt there were some poaaesf of tb$ buainees that hadn't fully impress ed themselves on me until I had a direct personal experience. "In the firet place I received a type written letter marked 'confi dentiaP on the 4th day of Oct. In some way. I don't know how, the party working the scheme had got my name. The letter was signed, with a rubber stamp, with the name of J. R. Hunter, Mineola P. O., North Carolina.' The writer went on to say my name had been sent him by his son, his traveling representative, that I had been reoriented as a ehrewed reliable and trustworthy maa who could safely be co-operated with, and that therefore he would take the libeity of proposing a sdbiiiite that ninety nine out of a hundred men would gladely grasp if they could examine the work an,d con vince them§elvea of its absolute safety. With this prefect. .Mr.Huater as he signed himself, proceeded to say that he was an expert engraver, having for flfseft years been ed in the tatveau of eBgaaving of WaBhingon D.

His wae only genuine artical and he wanted to know if I wotild co-operate with him in the disposal of the goods, if he could prove beyond all doubt they were all he claimed for them and could not be told from the genuine^ even by experts. He snid he did not want me to invest a dollar until I had examined, his ontire stock and compared the goods with the genu ine. An investment of ffiOO would give me a return that a lifetime of toil would not, and this was without injuring my friends, neigh bors or felloe man- Then the letter wound up as follows: "To convince you of the safety of the business I will, upon roeaipt of telegram as per enclosed note, send you a sample of my work and will also appoint a place to meet you so you can personally examine my entire stoek. You can afford to raise money at any sacrifice, and can pay any rate of interest, as you can turn my stock into cash immediately on your return home and settle up auy and all indebted ness. If for any reason you decide not to co-operate with me, I trust as an honorable man you will honor the"protection that the world confidential" insures to all com municatons, and not be so heartlesas to destroy my life's work, so kindly burn this and let the matter drop. "Well, just to see what there was in the scheme I wrote a letter to Mineola as directed. October 16 I got a reply, written with a pen and signed by the initials J. R. H. He said from the tone of 'my letter he knew his confinedce had not been misplaced and he assured me his intentions were honorable and uprght. He said he was arrang ing to put in no euculation in this state some $50,000 in the goods for $400, and said he would sell to no one but me in Iowa. He inclosed a sample, the $1 bill which I have here. Of course, it jsa. genuine bill. He gave me instructions for meeting him. I was to buy a ticket for Slatington, Pa, and before starting send a copy of a telegram he inclosed, paying: 'Your notes due." I was to address this to J. R. Hunter, !86 Second avenue New York City.

Kenday forenoon,about ten Chris Borem aged sixteen years was aecidently shot and died 1m^ madiately. .He was in a boat on Lake Okabena with two other boys when the accident ooenred. Saturday, lrtin Comer aged thirteen and Walter Comer aged fifteen, sons of S. A. Comer living about two miles south of Rushmore came to Worthington to visit old friends,Chris,Sam and Loius Sorem, and during the afternoon rented a shot gun of Widman and Son,a rifle and shot gun of Sahlbom Hardware company and went hunting and also went hunting Sunday after noon. Monday morning the Comer boys went down town intending to go home but before they left were met by Chris. The boys got the gun satSimoni's where they had Jleft them, and started hunting again. They walked around the lake to a point opposite the Chaffer farm where a boat was found. The boys entered the boat to go out and get a duck that had been shot Sun day and shoot others if they could. The two Comer boys were in the stern and Sorem in the bow. back to back,all pushing with sticks, with barrel ofgau leaning ou a seat in the middle of the boat, barrell up. The Comer boys heard the gun dis charged and on turning around saw Chris sink down as though setting down, his head^oing ..outside and hanging over the edge of the. boat' Irvin took off his shoes and jumped into the water and pulled the boat to shore. The boys then lifted the body out of the' boat£and.laid it.Mi the shore, Walter coming to town informed Mr. Sorem,' Irvin followed and told J. D. Hnminston and John Shanahan. The officers were com municated with and Newton Fauskee J. Shaaahan, J. D. Huminystpn and Sheriff Beiter at 9nce drove out Mr. Sorem was looking for the jboy along the lake, he was taken with them, They found the body cold, as the ooys had left it Coroner Mauson being absent they were in struced by coroner County Attorney Cradall to bring the body to the parents'house. The shot entered the breast near he heart. The boys state the "clothing commenced to burn and they put the fire out. They saw the blood running from the Wound and at once knew Chris was shot. He never uttered a word or sound after the gun was discharg ed indicating that he died almost iastantly. The gun being in the same position as when when the Comer boys saw it before the shot it is supposed he attempted to pull the gun up by the barel the hammer catching on the seat, discharged it. W hile the boys were badly fright ened they retained presence of mind enough to do all that was possible for them to do. The parents of the boy were terribly shocked to learn of the accident.' They supposed he was at school as when he left he told his mother that he had some examples he wanted to do. He went to school with his brother Sam and as they reached the building the last bell was ring ing he told Sam he was going hunt ing and wanted him to go along but he declined. He left the school ground and went down town where he met the Comer boys. The Comer boys say positively that it was not pre-arranged to go hunting, as they fully expected to go home until Chris met them. The parents, Lai's Sorem recently moved here from Ransom and now resident 1323 3d ave. Themselves, sons and daughters are almost prostrated over the accident. They have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire village in their hour of sorrow. Dr. Manson, coroner visited the body of Chris Sorem Monday after noon and after an investigation decided an inquest was not necess ary as'the death was due to purely accidental shooting. The lead struck the lower part of the abdomen going upward and to the left in the direction of the heart. The shot did not go^through the body but it is thought some of the shot struck the heart. The funeral was held' Wedni* day afternoon at 1:15 o'clock at the Presbyterian church, Rev. Wilson Aull officating. INVALID TRAVELERS TO HAVE CERTIFICATES.

The fatal cattle' disease of black leg has "broken out in the herd owned by Jas. Hinee just north of this city. Mi*. Hines has already lost three oaves by the deadly malad and it is feared that still others may become infected. The disease is not communicated from one animal to another by breathing the germs nor even by association in the same pasture or barn, but by the germs becoming implanted in an abrasion of the skin or a wound on the animal to be infected. Hence the contagion need not necessarily run through an entire herd. The diseased is bred in low, damp places which condition is fulfilled in Mr. Hnes farm. The recent exceptionally damn weather ia thought to account for the break ing out of disease among Mr. Hinea' cattle. Conditions under which hay ferments are very conducive to the disease of black leg. The disearse is almost certainly fotat to an animal which become* infected, as it also is to humaa beings. Of late vacination has bee a practiced with some success and is the best known means of combat ing the disease where it has gained a foothold. A well known authori ty states that farmers whose land lies low, should during wet season* take the precaution to keep their cattle on high and dry ground for the preventon of black leg—Pipe stone Daily 8tar. A Miraculous Feat. "It seemed that nothing short of a miracle could save my little daughter from an untimely death," says City Marshall A. H. Malcolm, of Cherokee,Kan. "When two years old she was taken with stomach and bowel trouble and despite the efforts of the best physicians we could procure, she grew gradually worse and was pronounced in curable. A friend advised Mnes' Nervine and after givfng it a few days she began to improve and final ly fully recovered. She is now past five years of age and the very picture of health."
