Fun AHEAD.-It seems to US that
each successive number of the Law
renee Daily Republican Journal grows
better. We knew the combined efforts
of kalloch, Thatcher & Reynolds would
''get good scald" on the paper. 1t
glitters with good things each day, and
we Ego for" its column of "AIinOr
Notes" with as keen relish as we ego
for breakfast, and with as great regu-
larity. Already it has such hold on
its readers that they would be lost
without it. BY the way, we expect to
see fun between the Rmpablican Jour
nal and John Speer's paper, the 1ri6-
uae, between this aud the next Senate
rial election. The former paper will
oppose Mr.. Clarke, while the Tribune
will be his home organ. Already the
two papers are whetting their BLADES
forthe conflict, and it will be q keen one.
John Speer, as. is well known, is not
slow in fight of this kind, while the
Journal corps will make their paper
fairly ring with smart things. Go in,
fellows; it amt "our funeral" but we
expect TO enjoy it. ,s. srff. Fl

COMPLIMENT TO SENATOR MEAD
The following resolution was adopted
by the late Senate before its adjourn
mcnt. We intended to publish it at the
time. but the paper containing it was
misplaced and not found until few
days ago. The compliment was confer
red on one who deserves it, as we hap
pen to know from personal knowledge:
RESOLVED. That the thanks of the SEN
ate is hereby teGdered to Hon. j. r..
Mead. for the industry and promptness
manifested by him as chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means of the
Senate. a9
They, says the Topeka Record, were
fully deserved. Mr.. Mead had the en-
tire charge of all accounts, as far as the
Senate was concerned, and that it re-
quired good deal of labor is well
known. That he gave to the business a
great deal of time, and acted conscien-
tiously, weighing the business of the
claims and passing upon them as their
merits deserved, is evident. He was
one of the most laborious Senators
! on the floor of the Senate. Although
his name does not often appear as a
I speaker, yet he did at least, his share OF
/ the work.

We may safely conclude that the tax Cf

To illustrate it again, we will compare the

farmer having farm worth SO, 900, and loans
u credit on tho same of 5000, on which he
pays an interest Of per cent, amounting to
S14 per year, in doing this he doubles the
value of the farm, makes it worth $4,000, and
gcts m incrcasc in the price Of the products,
which makes its worth SO .O00. So much it's
value is doubled. Did the farmer loose by
the loaning Of this credit, does he not make
largely, though he pays tho loan and interest.
This is fair illustration Of the liability of
the County, incurred in subscribing stock to

r. A STRANGE HOMICIDE THROUGH JEAL,
.ousy.-D. Lott, OF Oakland Miss, Killed
Captain F. D. Barnes. a young laXYer OF
that place on the 9th instant. As We
get the statement from the Grenada
Sentinel, it appears that Dr.. Lott was
addressing a young lady of that place.
and he had made confidant of his
love affair to his roommate, Capt. Barnes.
Capt. Barnes remarked that he intended
soon to seek her and make her acquain.
lance and call upon her, which he did.
The next evening after his visit to her,
DR.. Lott called upon her and was dis
carded. This incensed him to a very
great extent, and he seemed to labor un-
der the impression that Captain Barnes
had prejudiced her against him in some
manner. The. next day, arming himself
with six.shooser, he said to Captain
Barnes. "Have you not betrayed my con-
fidence. Answer me truly, for your

More Of the AVOndale Horror.
APPALLING SCENES.

The New York Worlds correspondent
at Avondale gives a very graphic descr'p-
tiop of the scene at the mine at the time
the bodies of the dead miners were
brought up from the pit. The appear
Snce of the dead men was very singular,
nearly all of them showing in their faces
and on their bodies a ruddiness that
could hardly be distinguished from the
glow of health. Only one man was dis
figured, and the expression ON nearly all
the faces was calm and peaceful, demo
ting that the consummation of the as.
pbyxia was almost wholly painless.
Most of the unfortunate men were
Welshmea, the number of Irishmen be-
ing very small, and but one American is
known. to have beenin the mine. When
the stains of their labor had been washed
away, the spectators beheld the curling
locks, the finely cut features and calum-
naEnecks and .busts peculiar to the sons
ofCymri. But the sight Of these dead
bodies, showing neither enaciation nor
disease, was far! less painful and terrible
than the sight OF the widows and father
less children. The lord cries of grief
sed walls of despair which were reported
to have accompanied the first neTS
Of the disaster, had died away when
the full force OF the blow was felt.
The widowed women sat in their homes,
usually on their threshold o.: near them,
unuloyed, STERN and stolia, looking out
upon their neiehbors or the throngs of
passing strangers with a stony stare that
seemed toexpress wonder that the sun
should shine and the rivers flow, and
men and women go and come, now when
all that made life worth living for was blot
ted out. The correspondent noted but
TIVE exceptions to this silent mourning.
Oae was an old Irish woman who rocked
to and fro 10 her chair, grooming the
name of her dead husband or son, and
the other was a young Welsh girl whom
he found wrilhing on the ground by the
roadside, burying her face in the earth
with wild tumultuous bursts Of sobblng.
and broken CALCULATIONS that she mig ht
die. From the general temper and de-
meanor of the miners, the Worlds cor
respondent believes that the dark days
are soon coming for the capitalists of the
mining district. The Welshmen are
sullen and dogged, after their nature
the Irishmen, after their nature also, are
noisy and fierce, and both classes be
lieve that their comrades have been
murdered. The Celtic portion at least
are very demonstrating inrlheir expires
sion of this opinion, and their resentment
shows, itself in their demeanor towards
every one not of their class and station.
One gray:beeded old miner who guarded
the bodies of the dead, was approached
BY the correspondent with request
chat he might be allowed facilities for
learning the pames cf. the unfortunates ;
the desire was civilly expressed, and the
proper credentials were shown, but the
miner broke out fiercely: Get their
names, is it? Pot on a lamp on yer hat
then, and 60 down the shaftlike man
for their names. / suppose yeer here to
make money out o'this, God d-n ye."

DAVIS PAIN KILLER has won for itself 4
reputation unsurpassed in the history Of
medical preparations. 1t is as well known
in the trading ports Of India and China as
in New York and Boston and its con inually
increasing demand, where it has been long
est known, is one of its strongest recon-
mendations and best advertisements. 1t
began to be favorably known in A. D. 1889,
and has ever since been gradually growing
into public favor, till, in thousands Of
families, it has come to be considered an
article of such necessity that they are
never without supply of it to resort to il.
case Of accident or sudden illness. 1t is
not unfrequcntly said Of it we would as
soon think Of being without -four in the
house as without Pain Killer" 1t gives,
immediate relief in case of scald or burns
as we'll as in the sudden attack Of Diarrhea,
Dysentcry, or other similar affections of the
bowels; and, being an entirely vegetable
pre- paration, it is as safe asst is reliable. The
promptness and certainty with which it acts
in relieving all kin IS of pain, makes it emf
nently worthy its name PAIN kILLER-a
name easily understood, and not easily for
gotten.
In Cholera it has been emincntly successful,
curing hundreds Of the severest cases, and
never, to our knowledge, having failed in a
single instance when used according to
directions in the earlier stages of the dis
ease.
No mcdicine has been more successful in
curing FEVER and AGuE. For a sudden
Cold it is almost a specific. Rheumatic and
Neuralgia affections give way to it when all
other remedies have failed. 1t is eminently
a FAMILY MEDICINE, and by being kept
ready for immediate resort in cases of ac-
cident or sudden attack of disease, has
saved many an hour of suffering, and
many dollar in time and doctors bill.
