Osawkie, The following account, from our Valley Falls correspondent, of John Cook'a late 'bad break' at that place, will be of interest to Osawkie read ers Crookedness, or Cheek I A few days ago, "Blind John," otherwise known as John Jacob Cook, of Osawkie, came to Valley Falls with Mr. Wright on business. He first went to li. D.

Simpson and asked to have an affidavit made out for a comrade. Mr. S. told him that he (Simpson) did not do that kind of business but that he sho'd go to McCartney or Russell, who made a business of doing that kind of work. He then hunted up Judge R.

Allen, and wanted him" to go to his office to make out some "Dick" Allen, as he is familiarly known, wanted to go into Simpson's ottice to make them, but John would not go there, so they went to the City Hall and Dick began "to make out the paier. By questioning him, Dick found he represented himself as AN illiam Redding, of Hiawatha, who was stop-j ping near Valley Falls, and wanted to i make an affidavit that Jacob Cook of Osawkie had suffered injurv to his eyes while in the army. Dick, having finish- ea me anmavit, reao tite jurat lie was to make and found he had to certify that he was iersonally with the affiant, and that he was a credible person. He then said. "I don't know you, and I can't make this jurat," and explained the reason.

He then asked John how he got those ittiners. and John said that Cook had sent them to him at Hiawatha. Dick then asked why he didn't have them made out there, where lie was known, and John said he did not know just what Cook wanted, as he could not read or write-. Dick saw that he had all the papers in an envelope addressed to J. J.

Cook, at Osawkie. He then askrd him how begot tin an1 papers? "Why John handed them to me uie other day," says lie. "Why didn't you have them made out at Osawkie. then, when John was with you?" was the next question Dick asked; This rather stumped John, and he did not answer for awhile, and Dick said. "Ain't you blind John himself?" said John, "but 1 want to get this affidavit made out." "Well, you had better go to Mr.

Russell and try him. then; maybe he will make them," said Dick. Jolin then went down the street, walking past Mr. Russell's office several times, till all were gone to dinner but him, then he went in and told him the same story that he had told Dick. Mr.

Russell began to make the affidavit, on a different blank, of which John seemed to be well supplied, when Dick came in and asked Mr. Russell if he knew that man. John had represented to Mr. Russell that he had been stopping with Jim Jrithts and he knew him, so Mr; Russell supposed he could bripg the required witnesses to identify him. but answered Dick that he did not know him.

"WelL" says Dick, "you had better find out who lie is," when another cross-questioning ensued, which soon convinced Mr. R. that he was a fraud, and he, too, refused to make the affidavit. John then went out, with his papers, and Dick told Mr. Russell of his experience.

Dick then went out and saw him talking to Mr. White. Dick stepped up know this man?" John then tapped Mr. White on the leirwith a cane he was carrying, lmt Mr. White spoke up at once.

es. it is John Cook of Osawkie." I Dick said, "I thought so," and went and reported to Mr.RusselJ. who immedi- ately went out with some papers in his hand, and as he stepped around the cor- i ner by the HiUyer House, he saw John in iKut a nauiui. vmii ii was iiiicneu in front of the New lira office.

What is left of our brass band together in the park last Satur day aight and played several of the and the music sounded food, too. According to the story of the old butting ram, whose own er 6ought to cure him by setting him to butting a swinging block of wood, that fabled animal kept on butting as long as there was a bit of him left. It is much the same with our band the members may get widely scattered and the band cease operations, but if two or more of the boys cau get together, music proceeds to flow. The normal institute closed last "Wednesday noon.

Prof. Ni hart had to leave in the morning, and Mr. Billingsley took his classes and fin-" isbed up the work. It has been a Tery successful institute in fact, Prof. Nihart says he has never conducted a better one, a more quiet, industrious one.

Prof. Heath has been suffering a good deal with rheumatism for the past two weeks, but has bravely kept at his post. Supt. Haines and all concerned have worked faithfully for the success of the institute, and feel gratified at the results. We think all feel that the session has been a profitable and pleasant one, and we hope next will see most of the 125 young men OSAWKIE.

The mar.agtrs of the celebration here feel justly indignant at the parties who spread the false report at Winchester, that the Indian band and ball club would not be at the Oskaloosa celebration that a letter had been received to that effect. The only letter received lately was to the effect that the Indians would be ready at p. m. on the 3d, when the conveyances sent for them would arrive at the Institute.

Iu view of the courteous invitations extended Winchester people, her ball pla3'er3 and speakers and all others, such returns as this spoken of, savor of mean spirit, decidedly, and we presume tnat very tew people ot Winchester countenance any such behavior.

Casebier, of Osawkie, was on our streets Jiionday. And this reminds us that some of his friends are talking of bringing out Ins name as a candidate for countyl attorney this fall. We do not know whether he could be prevailed upon to make the race, but we do know that should he consent to do so the other candidates would have to do some mighty tall hustling to stand any show. It will be remembered that two years ago, when five candidates were in the field, a change pf three yotes would' have given tl nomination to ilr. Casebier for pro bate judge.

He is a talented young man, full of brains and energy, and all who are acquainted with him are his friends. Meriden 1 nbune. We are told that Mr; Casebier is not a candidate for attorney, at all, and that the report probably arose from the fact that someof his friends have been urging him to make the old race, for probate judge.
