Not horse runaway
Not a broken head;
Meier a fight or ARRAY
Meier a man found dead.
Meier q coroner's quest
Not fire or a fight,
Break the slumberer's rest
Or the stiffness of night.
The police are all tbummin'
For want of a job;
Won't some one hit some one
A "belt on the gob,"
To get up q bit of sensation,
And give the police occupation,
No doubt it would greatly delight 'em,
While 1t gave us a good local item.

The Ho1IIcIDE ON THE QUICK
sTEP.-The officers on the Quickstep
having all been summoned to attend
the preliminary examination of young
Gumberts, are very reticent about the
matter.
From persons who have conversed
with eye witnesses, the information
to be received is so improbable IN its
appearance that it is unadvisable to
publish it. scarce any two persons
telling the same state of facts.
The nearest authentic account is
that Gumberts and McSherry had
quarreled, and McSherry had used
very haunting aud insulting language
to Gumberts, for which Gumberts
threatened to shoot him, but was pre-
vented by the officers. of the boat.
After the retirement of most of the
officers. the quarrel being renewed,
and the offensive names repeated,
Gumberts drew his revolver and fred.
the ball grazing McSherry' head, go
ing through the bulkhead Of the ex-
press room, and nearly hitting the ex-
press messenger.
McSherry rose to his feet, saying:
"You didn't hit me, you little whelp,
did your" when Gumberts fred a
second shot. which taking effect, Nc
Sherry fell, when Gumberts walked
up to his PROSTATE body, and fred
three more shots into the corpse, af-
ter which he invited several persons
who witnessed the affair to drink,
saying he would kill any one who
would apply such foul epithets to
him.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS LECTURE.
Before tea time last evening, every
seat in the lower part of the Opera
House and many Of the most availa-
BILE in the family circle were sold.
and so great was the rush to hear the
celebrated orator, that the dress cir
Gle and parquette were filed at very
early hour, and an unusually large
number of persons were in both the
family circle and gallery.
1t has been the writer's good for
tune to have heard Mr.. Douglass on
two occasions, several years ago, but
the pleasure of listening to him then,
although great, was not to be com
pared with that the lecture last night
afforded.
Our Composite Nationality abounds
in healthy advice, broad and liberal
ideas, sound political doctrine, and
is illustrated and eDlivened by occa-
sional sallies of dry humor, keen
though dignifed satire. and brilliant
flashes of wit that serve to convulse
the house with laughter.
On the stage with the lecture com
mittee Of the Library Association.
were seated Rev. Messrs Landlord
and Townsend, colored clergymen,
while throughout the audience were
quite number of colored people.
The lecture was frequently ap-
plauded, and there is no doubt but
that if Mr.. Douglass could remain to
deliver second lecture, it would be
as we'll attended as was this
A CRAZY MAN ARREsTED.-Last
night man was roaming about on
Main Street, acting very strange
and raving at great rate.
When near Water Street, Chief
Royston attempted to stop him; when
he ran; the Chief called out to him to
stop, but he only ran the faster. A
number of citizens seeing him run
and hearing the Chiefs demand to
stop, thinking he might be burglar,
headed him off and captured him.
He appears to be completely wrecked
in mind. Says he was doomed to die
in six days, and this is the sixth, and
vowed by the Father, Son and Holy
Ghost he would never tell his name,
but his brothers. name was Karl, and
lived in Haubstadt. He had check
from Indianapolis to this city, and
appeared to have come in on the train
last night. There IRE some who think
they know him as former keeper
in the Bellevue. and say he is suffer
ing from deliriun1 trenaeas.

The SUPERVISOR SYsTEM.-The voice of
the press of all parties, so far as we have
noticed, is unanimeus against the bill that
has passed the senate abelishing the SUI
pervisor system and re>establishing the
old county commissioner system. There
are more papers in the state than there
are members of the legislature, and we
believe taken as whole they are better
opponents of public opinion in their sev>
eral localities. And yet we see the entire
press unit against the bill that has
passed the senate and is now pending in
the house.
At the same time, the present system
undoubtedly needs some amendments, but
would it not be better that those be made
rather than abolish the whole system and
adopt one which is much. more open to OF
lection and faulty dubuque Daily Her
