4 FRIGHTFUL AcCIDENT.-On last Sat
urday Mr.. Charles Harrington met with
a dangerous accident in well north OF
town. The tub used in drawing up dirt
had been let down to the bottom, and
Mr.. Rigdon, not thinking Of any danger,
let go his hold upon the windlass for a
moment, when the weight of the rope set
the windlass in motion and as there was
about fifteen feet to unwind, the speed
of the windlass became so great as to
throw it off 1t tell to the bottom of the
well, distance of forty-seven feet, strik-
ing Mr.. Harrington on the left side of
the head, crushing a large hole through
the skull. lie was brought to town, and
surgical aid obtained at once. lie still
lies in an insensible condition-has not
spoken word since receiving the injury
but at this writing, "Wednesday morn
ing) there is strong hopes of his recov-
ery.-Ablene Chrtniclc.

fRI WyyEfIoI.

In this paper will be found call for
a Mass Convention, largely signed by
the intelligent and influential citizens of
Saline county. Party organizations and
cliques are to be ignored, and men are
to assemble from all parts OF the county
in friendly meeting for the purpose Of
nominating men of integrity and ability
to the different offices to be f lied at the
Fall election. 1t is needless for us to
state that we heartily endorse this move
ment, for most Of our readers are we'll
acquainted with our often expressed
views upon this subject. In mass con-
vention the people are truly represented.
They can then speak their mind about
the fitness of the differept candidates for
Office, and vote and work directly for
tbesvwhom they asslre to be honored
with Office. Deleg aa conventions are
too much subject to manipulation at the
hands of wire-pullers anf bad politicians.
They no more represcnJ the will of the
people than does an INDIAN agent the
best interests of ths Government.
If we are to>have convention let it
be good, old-fashioned mass conven-
ton. Hence, we advise the voters to
come together at the court house in Sa-
lima, on Saturday. the 10th inst, at two
o'clock P. NJ, for the purpos, of choos.
ing the standard bearers for the coming
campaign.

KANSAS fruit.

1t has been stated that why Kansas
took the first premium at the pomologi-
cal exhibition at Philadelphia, two years
ago, was because those having our fruit
in charge We're sharper in arranging il
in position that would strike the eye
the more forcibly. This appeared quite
plausible, but subsequent trials seem to
disprove all thoughts of the kind. This
fall Kansas comes in for another first pre-.
MUM at the exhibition of the national
genealogical association at Richmond, Va
for the best collection of fruit, and a late
telegram announces the bestowal of the
medal upon our State for the same supe
riority.
Every Kansas citizen may feel just
pride at these repetitions. Our success
ut Philadelphia was glory but these late
awards act as clinchcr to the argument
Most Eastern people, at some time oI
other, have considered Kansas something
ola humbug but one by one their bubbles
are being frittered away.

the PRINCIPLES OF the PEOPLE.

The recent increased majorities in Cal.
ifornia and Maine prove Enthusiastically
where the hearts ofthe people are. They
with others to follow in the bulk OF the
States, guarantee the election of Re
publican President one year hence.
Democratic sarcasm, "new depart
ures" and the employing Of false lights
haverun their course TO avail only loss
for their authors. The great cry Of cor
ruption of Government, dishonesty OF
tandard-bearers, the unjust provisions
of the revenue laws and all that sort OF
thing has fallen sadly short Of accom-
plishing those ends which were hoped.
The people stick to principles and are
apt first to weigh the why's and where
fores and inquire the real merits before
they jump from one party to another.
Being thinking people they have not
found that great wrong in the Govern
ment or those bad principles in the Re-
publican party they were told they would
find. And they were sure to accept with
large degree Of suspicion the announce
ment that the Democratic party had en-
braced Republican doctrine IN its "new
departure" and, too, translated the state
ment that it had "become tired of carry
ing lightweight to mean that the Dem
ocracy were terribly anxious to get again
into power. After viewing all these
things, the people, or that portion ofthem
who favored the settlement of the war
questions as they were settled, who CO.
incided with the spirit Of the Amend
ments and who endorsed the financial
plans Of the Government, have come to
the conclusion that there is nothing to
be gained in point Of advancing their
principles by leaving the old Republican
ranks and in doing SO they would be TAX
ing upon themselves an uncertainty for
a certainty. So it is that those men who
were for the moment dazzled by the gilt
ter and glare of magnificent promises are
quietly slipping back into their own
ranks.
The people believe in principles above
men, and it is in their discrimination, in
telligencc and love of right and justice
that the old Republican institution will
be perpetuated.

western Notes.

Salina shows evidence of gradual and
sure improvements. A number of hand
some buildings are being built, which
are creditable to her people. The popu-
lar firm Of Hamlin & WooIley will move
into their new three-story iron froht
building in a few weeks. Their new
building is three stories high, and will
make one of the finest stores in the west.
John Gels 4 Co. have opened Il new
bank in Salina. a new iron front build
ing will soon be ready for occupancy,
when Salina can boast of two as good
banks is any town.
I find our friends, Bishop & Norton,
still "pegging away" Mr.. Bishop and
John G. Spivey, Esq, have just returned
from Leavenworth, where they have
been talking viii, the "narrow gaugers'
in reference to the cxtention of the mar
row gauge road to Salina. Post is still
making farmers glad by selling them the
celebrated Fish wagons, and our old sub
scriber, Tressin, has large stock of
stoves, tinware, and other things pertain
ing to the trade. The Railroad House
still furnishes everything for the hungry,
and Thompson Of the Planters House,
is as accommodating as ever. The cor
nor stone of the new Methodist church
was laid, Wednesday afternoon, with ap-
propriate ceremonies. While narrow
guage railroads are all the talk, the peo-
pie put down broad guage sidewalks on
the main street, which will cause pedes-
trains to bless them in less than three
months from this. Last, and not least,
our friend, W. p. Thacher, is doing well
and he deserves to.-Correspondence Of

1t becomes our duty record the death
of one of Topeka's best citizens. In the
prime of life, with bright anticipations,
Sherman Bodwell @as strickened down
last evening by . drunken desperate.
Sherman was standing sfew feet from
the lamp post on the northeast of Kan
sas and Sixth avenues. The desperate
supposed to be q Texan from the A. 4
s. Fe extension, came riding down Kan
sas avenue alta very rapid rate, first one
side and then the other. As he approach.
ed, Sherman lodged 20 - to avoid him,
but the drunken brute, As if bent to do.
ing mischief, turned, and the breast of his
horse struck Sherman's left shoulder. he
was carried before the horse about TWEEN
tyfeet before he was disentangled and fell
upon the avenue. He was picked up and
carried to the postohice, where he was
kindly waited upon by rs.SheldOn and
Price. When first laid upon the bed, he
had very little pulse, but stimulants be-
ing administered, his pulse improved.
After time, he was taken with nervous
chills, and seemed to suffer great pains,
although insensible all the while. The
only exterior evidences of injury was q
bloody bruise on the left side of the FORE
head, and his right eye was considerable
swollen and entirely closed.
Later in the evening he was taken to the
residence Of his father, corner of Topeka
and eighth avenues, where he laid in an
unconcious state until twenty minutes Of
ten o'clock, when his spirit fed the body.
1t is supposed that extravasation of blood
took place and the CLOTHING of blood up
on the brain caused his death.
The drunken desperate still continu-
ed his murderous ride, and although fol-
lowed by several horseman and the polio
and struck at by Policeman Horne as he
entered the bridge, he eluded pursuit and
escaped. Up to the present writing, he
has not been arrested.
Sherman Bodwell was formerly the
Sheriff of this county, and while occupy
ing that Office enjoyed the respect and
confidence ofall with whom he came in
contact. At the time ofhis death he was
employed in the postoffice as mailing
clerk. He was very active member OF
the first Congregational Church, and
whenever placed in the line of duty,
whether in church or state, he was I'M
swerving and consistent in the perform
ance thereof. In his death our city has
lost an excellent citizen the church a
faithful christian: his old and loving
parents, a kid and dutiful son ; his broth
ers and sisters, an effectionate brother,
and his large circle OF friends, true and
trustworthy companion. His aged par
ents, brothers and sisters, in this very
sad deep affection, have the whole-heart-
ed sympathy of all.-Topeka Common

A Pickpocket at work on the Railway trains

The Kansas Pacific road seems infcst-
ed with thieves and pickpockets of late.
Last Monday morning, drover from
Abilene, on his way East, was robbed
on the 1870 train, of a very large sum of
money. He occupied seat with anotlI-
err man-and being very tired, fell asleep.
The train stopping at Sccondine awaken
cd him, and he noticed his companion
had left the car, and soon after missed
his pocketbook. The man could not be
found on the train, and the drovcr was
obliged to wait until he arrived at Wyan-
dotte, when the sheriff was informed of
the facts in the case. The sheriff was in
town, yesterday, but had not found any
trace Of the thief, except that u man an
swering the drovers description got of
the train at Secondtne, and walked swift
ly into the country. He was about five
feet and eight inches high, had black
whiskers and moustache, and weighed
about leo pounds. He wore a tall black
hat, gray suit of clothes, with a short
coat.
Yesterday 1880 train stopped II this
depot to attach more coaches. The mo-
ment the cars were coupled on, two men
jumped aboard them, aad as The passen-
gers were passing into the coaches, CON-
menced to crowd their way ou:. NJ. W.
ii. Bancroft, mastor OF trims happened -
be near, and noticed their movements.
He soon after saw one of the men with a
watch in his hand Convinced tn at they
were plying their trade as pickpockets,
he made rush for the men, who, howev-
err, sprang from the car and eluded him.
Afterward they entered another car, when
Mr. Bancroft saw them and shouted for
the police. None were at hand, howev-
err, and they again escaped. He describ'
ed them to the trLkesman, suspectins
the thieves would again attempt to &c,
aboard. His suspicious proved correct,
for the train was under Roadway when
they caught hold of the hind car and
swung themselves on. Mr. Bancroft tel
egraphed to the Topeka officers for them
to make the arrests, but has not received
an answer.-Larrence Journal.

One of the most shocking tragedies
which we have ever heard occurred in
the township of Eudora last evening.
DIR. Z. T.. Marsh, who used TO have an
oaice in Lawrence, as a dentist. cut the
threats of his little child and wife and
then shot himself. They all died almost
instantly. The threats of the mother
and daughter were cut with = razor. The
daughter was child about seven years
old. His son about fourteen years old,
and his mother were in an adjoining
room, confined by sickness.
Mr.. William Hughes, who resided near
the doctors residence, brought the intel
ligenee to town, having come after the
coroner.
We have heard no cause assigned for the
terrible deed. So tar as we can learn,
DIR. Marsh was a man of good character.
Of course the act must have been COM
mitted in iii OF insanity, but we can
learn nothing OF his condition Of mind

is the surcst way to get them all !!
The towus-pcople may be slow IN
seeing all this, but the more they
are made to think about it, the
sooner they will see it; and if
they should be very slow in see
ing the point, their vision will be
Frightened by another sight
They will see rival towns, which
have good schools, getting ahead
of them in population aud wealth
and by this time they will wish
they had been u little quicker il
their movements. This has all hap
pcned over and over, aud hc that
watches the progress OF events
will see it ali happen in Eirginl1.
Then rs to practical proceeding:
let the superintendent and trus.
tees 60 squarely; before the town
and council and ask them for
what is needed to have schools
which will be Il credit to the town,
and which will offer such advan
taycs that there will be 10 need

Who Can Drink Moderately :?

y moderate drinker always tells
me: Il can give it up when
please" So you can: But when
you say SO, you don't "please."
1t depends more Of. ths tempers-
ment than strength ofmind wheth-
er, if a man drinks, be becomes
drunzard. You take \ cold, phleg,
matte man; and he is not likely to
become drunkard. He may be Il
good man, good father, a good
hSsbsnd, 4 good Christian, for
augbt I know, but be is no
warm-hearted, inrpulsive, quick
and generous. His ksnd falls
on yours cold and clammy. Give
him drink, and he feels "Eery
confur-rurable." Give him s lit
tie more, and he feels every
comfur-rurable." Give him ano-
ther, and he vii! 60 to bed very
com-fur-rur rurabEe : and he will
get up next morning feeling
very comfur.rur-rurabEe.." You
can't get him beyond the point Of
feeling very comfur-rur-rurabie."
1t may affect his vital organs in the
end, but there IS no evidence Of
his intempcrance. Take the other
extreme, for l am dealing in ex-
treme cases. Take young man,
nervous full Of fire, full Of poetry,
and full Of musfc-a v6sng man
who can sing a song or tell L
story, noble-heartedy and always
ripe for some mischief. Give that
man q drink, and what is it's ef.
feet? lie feels it in every fibre of
his system. 1t weakens the power
Of his wiIl-SIighliy. 1t warps
his judgmcnt-slighiy. 1t stin u
lates his mental powers to tndue

it is injuring you, then is the time
you cannot give it up; you are
