the hoor and sxtinguishedi it. The next NOM
ing, when the aoor was swept, the remains Of
a 500 grsenbaek were found, and the farmer
was not happy.
E. J. Gass, formerly Of Mansfield, was mur-
dered, near Fort Scott, Kansas. on the l7th
ult, BY hired hand named William Moore,
who felled him with an axe, and nearly sew
cred his head from his body. The assassin
was hunted down, few hours later, and re-
fusinR to surrender was fred upon, and
brought down.
Frank Miller, the person arrested for tho
desperate assault upon Mr. oberlin, Of Ur-
bAna, is likely to get his deserts. The money,
watch, etc. were found where he had secreted
them, and abundance Of evidence is being
gathered showing him to have been desper-
ate scoundrel who had already served two
terms in the penitsntiary.
Horace Grsely heard that they made 5000
pounds Of butter from sixteen cows at Dam
bury. He bought a lot Of cows at once and is
going to have them ground up and churned.
'You see" said Horace, al can buy Live Beef
for eight cents pound and butter is worth
forty. Iflt costs two cents pound for labor,
I shall clear three hundred per cent.
We wondered at Vans virtuous indigna-
tion in regard TO the action of Judge Stone in
calling a new Grand Jury to take cognizsnce
of the complaints against houses of ill-fame.
The reason given was the cost to the county,
but the testimony in the case of the State vs.,
Daugherty, on Tuesday last, more fully ex-
planned the cause of his denunciatious
Just now there is contest among the shoe
dealers to see who can mark down their stock
the lowest. 1t is not likely that the trial will
be lasting. They viii awl-peg out when the
spring trade begins, and stifin their counters
By heeling applications. While the contest
continues, traders should wax warm and toe
the mark, if they want bargains Call at any
Of the stores.
A son of Charles Knauss, living near Belle
vue, was driving team with load of wood
to neighbors, on Saturday last, when he fell
from the load in front Of the wagon. Both
the fore and hind wheels passed over him.
He got up and walked few steps, but then
fell. A neigsbor picked him up and carried
him into his house, where be died in few
minutes. he was about fifteen years old.
The Bellevue Power Company are so well
satisfied with the result of their effort, (nearly
the whole of the large 40xl56 building being
already rented,) that they are going to erect
another building just like it, next spring
Will not our people take hint and do some
thing7 Manufacturing carefully managed al
ways pays-pays two-fold. 1t pays in a good
per cent on the investment, and pays largely
in increased population and general business.
II you want the city to grow show your hand
now, ye men of means, and you will never re-
gretit.
The farmers of Compaign county have been
swindled by travelling pedlars just as those
farmers Of Hancock county were. and are try
ing to resist the payment of notes given for
goods. The farmers Of Crawford and Rich
land counties have been bitten in the same
way. The banks OF Bucyrus and Mansfield
are holding stock Of notes from these YER
dant parties, which Will shortly have TO be
paid. The best way to buy goods is to watch
the county papers, see what firms are enter
prising enough to advertise, and go TO them
for bargains. We must confess we have verv
little sympathy for farmers who allow them
selves to be taken in by every oily-tongued
stranger, who travels over the country. Buv
your goods from responsible parties in YOUR
own neighborhood, and there is no danger of
being swindled.
We have been shown letter from Il. L.
Pennell, formerly of this city, but now of
Muscotah, Kansas, in which he relates max.
ing wagon trip of 25O miles with 4 load Of
goods for J. c. Harris, formerly of this place,
but now OF Cedarville, Kansas. While absent
on the trip, he passed through Clyde, and saw
F. K. Teter formerly of this city, who is do.
ing good business there, and with his family
is we'll Near Cawker City he met Aaron
Smith and wife, who moved from here to
Atchison last summer. They were well.
They had taken up homestead claim about 4
miles from Cawker city, and were going to
make scme improvements on it. The ao-
quaintances and friends of these parties will
be glad to learn that they are all doing SO
well.
Those folks who neglect to clean their pave.
ments, these times should receive the polite
attention of the Marshal. The ordinance On
the subject is, however, very weakened, and
not worthy of the Council of a respectable
city. It should be definite and make it the
duty of the Marshal to see that the wslks are
cleaned, instead of waiting for complaints tc
be entered. Some men clean their walk,
from principle, others only for fear the ordi
nance may be enforced against them; other
leave their walk become almost impossible
because they think their neighbors will not en-
ter oomplaint-snd there are, but few who de-
sire to incur the ill-will of their neighbors b.
complaining against them. This latter clas.
is quite numerous and ought to be "pu
through" few times, to teach them to hav,
respect for the law and for community; anG
the law should be so framed as TO make 1t tb,
duty of a public officer to see that its provis
ions are enforced.
