His desperate efforts stuff both the Peoples par
y and the Republican party of this County with the belief
that the Chief is the only paper in the County-Rporter
We have never endeavored to stuff any party
with any such thing; but since you mention it,
we will make this remark: If being circulated
and read in all parts of the County goes to consi-
tute paper, then the Chief is about the only pa
per in the County. 1t has large lists at every
post-office in the County, and daily growing At
Offices where the Chief numbers hundreds of snb-
scrbers, the Reporter sends from one to three
copies Outside of Wathena, and few copies at
Troy, the Reporter has virtually no circulation at
all. We have the best authority for saying that
the Chief has more subscribers at Wathena than
the Reporter has. The Reporter has less than a
dozen subscribers in Iowa Township; the Chief
has over four hundred. The Reporter has less
than half dozen in Wolf River Township; the
Chief has over two hundred and fifty; and on all
around. And the Chief doesn't send compliment
ary and dead head papers, in order to make up
list In your blind rage, you would do well not
to force an Issue upon us that We have never
made, we may prove more than you counted

LYNCH LAW.


The lynching of the two brntheTs, Amos and
Isaiah COurtwright. near Milwaukee, says the
Mcpherson Independent, was an unusually horri-
BILE event of its kind. They were old men, and
had been arrested for the wanton murder of Il
woman. Expecting a visit by mob, they had
through friends, armed themselves with knives
aud pistols, and barrcadcd their cell door. Only
one slept at Il time, he other remaining on the
alert. The masked lynchers were 81 sudden in
their attack, however, that the plan of tlefeuse
could not be executed. Isaiah who was ON the
watch, tried tO shoot, but was knocked down,
pounded and stamped until he was insensible
Amos realized the futility Of resistance then,
aud tried to soften his captors with cries for
mercy. They were tied behind wagon when
Isaiah had become sufficiently able to walk, and
the party started for the place selected for the
hanging. On the way, Isaiah suddenly drew a
knife, cut the rope that bonud him, stabbed one
nf the mob, fatally, and desperately endeavored
to get away; but he was soon oyerpOwered,
beaten until he was cOvereed with blood, and
then barharonsly put to death. rope was
nOOsed around his neck and fastened 70 the wag-
ON, and his body dragged along the stony rnad
He was dead before the place for the hanging
was reached. Amos continued his snpplicafious
and protestat0ns of innocence until the rope
choked OFF his ntterance.

VERY SAD!-The pure-minded editor of the
wathena Reporter worries excessively because We
did not pitch into the candidates on the Peoples
ticket personally, call them thieves and plumber
ers, who had committed perjury to escape the
payment of taxes, and who wanted to get hold
of the County funds for private speculation, as
he charged against the Republican candidates.
Had we done so, he would have called us a ma
igner of private character for political effect A;
but as we did not, we are a sycophant and hyp-
ocrite. To one who, like that immaculate editor,
can sit and contemplate that he is the only pure
aud honest " journalist" in the State, (if not in
the United States,l the condition of fallen hu-
manity must seem terrible

MORE MYSTERIES.
CnnccouninbIc Disappearance OF Kansas
Pcopie-Chcrry Vale Again an Object of
Suspicion.

The town of Cherry Vale, Kansas, and vicinity,
seems to be afflicted with curse as blightng rs
that which hangs over the spot formerly occn-
pied by the cities of Sndom and Gomorrah. 1t
will be remembered that this was the residence
of the noted Bender-tlic Old Man Trrrble-and
the scene of his hOrrid butcheres. Since the dis
cOvery of his crimes and his subsequent flight,
the town has been the scene of many murders,
not committed by an organized band, but hap
pening in the usual course of events.
A German named Hayward, who was on his
way to the Fatlerland, having in his possession
u considerable amonut uf money, has been miss
ing for some time. He was last at the house
of farmer, u short distance frnm Independence
rs. The body finnd in a sack in the Virdgris
