HARVEY'S PASTOR FOUND. ‘ Missing Minister Discovered in a Cottage ‘ drove Avenue Restaurant. After eluding the search of his wife, son, daughter, and scores of fyiends for l two whole days, Rev. C. B. Gillette was | found last night in the Nightingale restaurant on Cottage Grove avenue, near Thirty-ninth street. 4 ‘ His wife was sent for, and hurried to Chicago with her daughter. The loving \ pair took the husband and father bemn them, and half carried him back -to Harvey. The minister is very weak from exposure and suffering. The abscess over his left eye, which is thought to have caused his temgorary derange“ment, was open and had not been attended to for two days. The physi-| cians say that with good care he may re- ‘ cover. The above is clipped from the Chicago | Evening Journal of Saturday, March 7. Rev. Gillette was formerly pastor of the Walkerton Presbyterian church, and his friends here hope that he may speedily recover from his affliction. 3 Cuba and Its inhabitants. Replying to a question propounded by a reader, the Indianapolis Journal furnishes these interesting figures: Cuba is about 731 miles long, its average width is about 80 miles, and the island contains 43,319 square miles. It is 1;’)0‘ miles from Yeacosin, Cuba, to Sable, on the Florida coast. The population is about 1,500,000, of which about 750,000 are what are called naturalized whites, 610,000 are colored, slavery having been abolished in 1870, and there are also about 35,000 coolies and 20,000 Spaniards among the population. It has no government of its own, but is under Span ish rule, which may be said to be a constitutional government. The insurgents destroy property because it belongs largely to men who sustain the Spanish government. The wmass of the people are evidently united against Spain, but many of the planters are merchaunts who reside in Havana and sustain the Spanish government, as do all those who hold official position. : Lincoin Township Republicans Reorganize. A called meeting of the Lineoln town- . ship republicans was held in Benders hall last Saturday evening. The purpose of the meeting was the election of a township chairman and committeemen. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, Thompson Turner. On motion two committeemen were elected from each precinct. E. Leibole was elected township chairman. The election of delegates was as follows: District convention, Thompson Turner, delegate: T. J. Wolfe, alternate: state convention, T. J. Wolfe, delegate: Dariel Beall, alternate. The delegate to the district convention was iustructed to vote for A. L. Brick for delegate to the St. Louis convention. Literary Soc'ety. The literary at the Gearhart school house last Friday evening was well at tended. The programme consisted of an able discussion on the following subject: “Resolved: That Washington should receive more honor than Lincoln.” Before recess decided in favor of the affirmative. The program after recess I consisted of songs. dialogues, recitations and select reading, all of which was excellent. The society was closed by a solo, having a quartette chorus. They then adjourned to meet in one week, March 13. Everybody invited. REPORTER. Farm for Sale.

The following from the Milford Mail will apply to all communities: If there were less of treachery; less of back biting: less misrepresentation of all kinds; less avidity in circulating scandals: and more of truth, more Hving up to the golden rule, more real, ' earnest, upright, square treatment of every opne a small city like Milford ; would be only all the pleasanter as a | home for those who try to “do tinto oth- ' ers as they would have others do unto ; them." !

The plant is an upright, vigorous | grower, rich in foliage and very prolific l in fruit, and is said to have given much ‘ satisfaction wherever an attempt has ! been made to raise it. Mr. J. . Kno block, of this city, has become interested in the wonderful new fruit and it is un- | | derstood will endeavor to raise some of | t it. | I A Swindling Scheme at North Liberty. “ | Our North Liberty correspondent re \ | ports the following: “A man represent- | | ing himself to be advertising agent for | s Castoria, called on some of our business | | men last week and offered to print their | t advertisements alongside the Castoria | { siens along the roads leading to town, at r ! a very low price. He claimed this was | t very popular among merchants and 1 { showed letter-heads of firms who had ; patronized him at the same time secur- ! ing letter heads from business men here. ! As he insisted on being paid in advance | suspicion was aroused and no work was | given him. [ailing in this place he | suddenly disappeared without advertising the medicine also forgetting to settle his hotel bill. A letter received from proprietors of Castoria states that | he has operated succesfully among | druggists of Canada and obtained 1 money from nearly every one he visited. He never was employed by them and | they will contribute one hundred dollars for his capture and conviction.”
