A SHRoUD FOR THE ORANGE BLOSSOMS
A special to the Chicago Times from Battle
creek, Michigan, tells melancholy st cry ::
Terrible rumors are aflost here In regard to
the death of young lady, the daughter of
an old and highly resp cted citizen of this
place. On the evening of Saturday, Dec.
20 she was taken suddenly i'll. The fact was
much regretted, as her wedding apparel was
Just completed and in two weeks she was to
become the wife of young man well known
in this city; 5000 was to have been expend-
ed on the bridal day. A consultation of
physicians was called and everything pos
sible done for the sufferer, but to no pur-
pose. On the next Monday evening she
breathed her last. The community was
greatly shocked, and the funeral, which &C
Cured on Christmas was magni6-
cent affair. No money was spared 10 make
the display in every way IS complete
as the wedding would have been. But
scarcely had the cold remains been laid away
forever when ugly rumors came into circu-
lation, starting, we believe, from one of the
physicians. They were no less thanthe as
sertion that the young lady's death was
caused by an abortion attempted by an Nj.
D., at the instigation of the intended BRIDE
groom himself. On Tuesday morning, Dec
80 both young men were missing. Then
the rumOrs flew wild and fast. Ii is said
that the girl made confession before her
DEATH which fastens the murder upon her
betrothed and the doctor. No public inves-
LEGATION has yet been made, and it is hardly
probable that there will be. Letters were
received at this postoffice on the second day
after their flight i'm the writing Of the fugi-
tives and mailed in Toronto. This is all the
clue there is as to their whereabouts. There
is considerable excitement over the affair
here and the sympathies of the whole COM
munity are with the bereaved family

LAST OF OH suRSInY.

SENATOR PoMEROy FoRFEITS HIS BAIL BOND
AND BECOMES A CRIMINAL AT LARGE.
ST. Louis. Jan. 6.-The Republican has a
special from Topeka, which says: The case
called in the county court here yesterday.
The defendant was not present, and his conn
sci asked further continuance, which was
refused, and Mr.. Pomeroy's bail of $4,000
was ordered forfeited, with the understand
ing, however, that il the defendant appears
for trial during this month, the oruer tor for
fsi.ure will be rescinded. 1t is believed here
that Pomeroy will never be tried; but as the
case stands. it puts him in the position of a
criminal at large without bail, and liable to
arrest at any time.

HOW TO WIN GRANGER VOTES.

Hon. Marcus ]. Parrot, the Reform can
didate for Congress in this district, slipped
into town on Monday morning from Water
vile, where he was billed to speak in the
evening. He took ride over town, visited
the various Improvements at the river, and
agreed with us that the situation was highly
pleasing. We took him to the mammoth
woolen mills OF Nessrs. Cook, Chandler &
Barlow, reminding him that John Ran
dolph, Of Roanoke, once run for Congress at
a time when the subject OF home manu.ac-
ture was receiving considerable attention In
the "old diminion" and formed the happy
conception of entering the hustings In suit
of home-spun, when the argument and illns-
tration proved irresistible. Parrott caught
the idea and Immediately ordered tull
suit hot from the loom. Chandler didn't
say word about it being off his penitent'ary
contract till Parrott had gone.-Biue Rdp'ds
Times.
Mr. Parrot, in his recent trip through
Northern Kansas, wore his hunting suit
with corduroy breeches and unblacked boots
This dress did not correspond with his deli'
cate hands and jeweled fingers. Yesterday
Parrott left for Holton. We noticed that
he had discarded the hunting suit, corsiu-
roys and all, and wore his old clothes. How
he will look in his penitentiary suit, we
can't tell, but Judging from the number OF
lies he has told during the campaign, We see
no reason why it will not be becoming.

SELLING LIQUOR TO INDIANS.

In the United States District Court, yes
terday, Michael Muelchesser was tried under
an idictment for selling liquor TO Indians,
and was found guilty.
We do not know the man, and are net
familiar with the merits Of his case.
The ofiense was committed at Baxter
Springs. near the line OF the Indian Terri
tory.
OF the crime of selling liquor to Indians
in that country We can hardly speak too
harshly. 1t endangers the lives of citizens
on that frontier, for 'firs-water" infames the
Indians savage nature, and makes him
thirst not alOne for mcre whisky, but for
blood.
We do not doubt but that much Of our
trouble with these so-called pets Of the
government, has resulted from the con-
niyance of desperate white men and the free
use Of liquor.
We are aware that it is difficult to en-.
tirely wipe out this traffic on our border,
because offenders can so easily, by crossing
the border, escape the law officers Of this
district. We believe, however, that our o.
s. officials will do what they can to enforce
the law and bring offenders to justice.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE PARTY.

Preacher Green, afler much coaxing BY
his f,iendR, whose friendship exceeds their
discretion, has permitted himself to be forced
on the track for Congress ip this district. p
He says he goes into the race at this late
hour 10 save the party.
How is the party inperiled? Does Col
Phillips candidacy endanger il! Does Mr.
Green know anything about Mr.. Phillips
now which he did not know at the time tie

MIR. Green was present at that conveEticD.
He had known Mr.. Phillips for years, and
knew then as well as be does now whether

Not at ell.

was delegate TO the CONGRESSIONAL Sonven'
ton that when Mr.. Green was assured by
friends Of Price and Houston that thy

(Green) could get ten more, and thus secure
his own nomination, Mr.. Green responded
that he was in honor bound TO stand by Mr..
Phillips. How about that bond OF honor
now?
The charges against Mr.. Philips made
AID reiterated by the Commercial, have been
refu,ed to the satisfaction Of all reasoning,
thinking men, and in the light Of MI. Greene
past rec I'd We cannot see any consistency
in his candidacy, as he claims 'for the good

HARD 20 PLEASE.

The following letter, from the Secretary o.
the Republican Congressional Committee oil
this district, to the Chairman OF the Ike
form, committee, sill explain itself:
REPUBLICAN GENERAL COMMITTEE,
FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT,
LEAvESwoRTu, Oct. 10th, lS14.)
Hon. IHos. p. Fenioa, Chairman
SIR: Your letter to d. L. Palmer, Chair
man Of the Republican Congressional Com
mittee Of the First District has been referred
70 me, with instructions to reply.
Your candidate for Congress seems in
bad way. He first writes Col. Phillips, and
then, on receipt OF reply from him, causes
the correspondence to be published with In
solent, discourteous and ungentlemanly re'
marks. in the Commercial, and then he per.
sonaIly asks TIE TINES to publish it with
similar comments. 1t would seem that the
notification in Mr.. PARROTS organ alone
ought to have satisfied him. Mr.. Parrot
forced himself upon Col. Phillips meetings
in Northern Kansas. He was accommoda-
ted at Seneca and other places in joint dis
cussion. He is not satisfied with the result
of those meetings. Our committee ap'
pointed meetings at various places TO dis
cuss the political questions with
him, but your candidate declines to debate
the Congressional question, except with
Senator. Our committee fail TO see the pro-
priety of Sen nators entering into wransit
over the personal qualifications OF the can
didates for Congress. Your committee seem
to have queer notions OF propriety.
Our committee, on the 30th Of September,
agreed to four meetings for joint discussion:
between Phillips and Parrott. viz: at Leav-
enworth, Oskaloosa, Solomon City and Min
neapolis. You decline to accept this. We
therefore infer that you don't want any more
Joint discussions between the Congressional
candidates.
Now, our committee are most anxious to
accommodate you, and as the great trouble
on your part seems to be upon points OF e'i-
quette, We thihH We cs.i ih-he PAoP"S
for joint discussion that will be mutually
satisfactory.
The Chairman and Secretary OF our Com
mittee will meet the Chairman and Secre-
tary Of your Committee for joint discussion
upon the merits of the Congressional csndi-
dates.
You will sec that by this arrangement,
men occupying equal rank, politically, in
their respective parties are Pitted against
each other. Trusting this offer will give
your party all the satisfaction they demand
and at the same time meet your ideas OF cti-
quette, lam truly your humble servant,

THE BEST IN THE STATE.

We want to say a good word for the
Leavenworth Daily TINES, the largest and
cheapest daily paper in Kansas. The TINES
has recently been enlarged to a thirty-six
column paper it is republican in politics
and fearless and outspoken in what it be
lieves to be right We are heartily tired OF
those Kansas City dailies filed up with
Missouri politics, Texas advertisements and
Kansas City gossip. Give us a newspaper
like the Leavenworth TIMEs-it is the best
daily in the State -Ota,ra Times.
Thank you for the good word for THE
TINES. We would rejoice to see the same
spirit manifested in every department Of
business throughout the State. Stand by
home interests Build up every industrial
enterprise you possibly can in the State OF
K Kansas.
