The wonderful results and immense sale OF

convince the most skeptical; still we are 60

have heretofore, viz: ANY person suffering
with cold, cough or sore throat, who will
call at w. Il. Baxter's Drug Store and pur-
chase bottle of Hale's Cough Cordial, use
one-half of it, and if they then conclude
that it is doing them no good, they can re-

on such liberal terms? No medicine ever sold
in this vicinity that produced such wonderful
results All we ask is that you will try

1t will be seen by dispatch from

at this place, that King, Tax Collec
tor Of Red River parish was killed,
and w. H. Twitchel seriously wound

made his escape, though pursued by

accounts had not been arrested. We
do not know the cause of the attack
on these parties, but tie provocation
must have been serious, aud deeply
felt by the one who did the shooting.
Twitchcl has carried things in Red

Our Rights.

We believe it to lie the duty OF
Journalist to maintain tho rights OF
the people in all cases Of public mat
tiers, although in q great many in
stances they may apparently seem to
NEEDLE with affairs not exactly ap-
pertaining to their duties. But, If
our people arc deprived Of any Of
their rights, VIC feel at liberty to en-
Quire into the matter, and if we can
thereby secure to them what they
have been deprived of, We think we
should receive our need of praise.
Many months gone, We were SO
unfortunate as to loose our highly re-
spcctcd and much loved Bishop of
this diocese, the Right Rev. Bishop
Martin, since which time the vacant
Bishopric has been conducted and
managed, no donbt, as well as 1t
could have been, but notwithstand-
ing, we are entitled to a Bishop, and
from this fact if from no other, we
want one. AS free American citizens
We have the unquestioned privilege
to make this demand, and hope our
request will he attended to by the
Ecclesiastical authorities established
for such purposes.

Ont in our section the people gen.

not the time at this early day, nor

work. Seeing before us ample time
to accomplish all we may hope for,
we arc loath to engage in the excite:

hearts of hearts, that the next cleo

Kellogg & Co., VS.. Attorney

The Attorney Generals office Burglar.
lied last a;ght.-T'au Of the Robbers
Mr.. Field accuses kellogg d. Co.

Some unknown parties burglarious-
~ entered the Attorney Generals Of
flee last night by pressing open the
window on the St. Louis street side.
1t is evident, from the manner in
which the midnight providers went to
work, that they were not after world
" gains, but valuable papers. The
manner in which they left the room
showed that there must have been
four men at work, as there were tour
chairs in semi circle, and in front Of
each chair was a bundle Of the Attor-
ney Generals papers, which had cv-
identity been considered worthless by
the thieves. Every desk in the room
had been priced open with a jimmy,
and their contents thrown promis-
cously about. Splotcl,es of candle
grease can be found on the gallery
and floor, showing the entrance and
exit If the maraulcrs. Attorney Gen.
eral Field being interviewed by our
reporter on the subject, stated that
this was the fifth time that men had
entered his Office for the purpose Of
stealing valuable papers that two
DAYS before Clinton's trial took place
his Office was burglarized for the pur-
pose of stealing valuable papers,
which, it was supposed, he had in his
possession and that he was couvin.
ced that this last burglary was the
work Of Kellogg, his pimps, and his
police, as the belief is that he (the
Attorney Generat) had been in secret
correspondence with certain nameiess
powers, either for their ruin or his
gain, and Kellogg was so afraid that
some damning evidence might reveal
itself from these papers, that ho was
determined to destroy them, even if
his hirelings had to commit burgla-
~.
What is the most astonishing part
of this business, and indicates that
parties having influence or authority
with the police were concerned in it is
the fact that two policemen are de-
tailed specially to gnard the Attorney
Generals of6ce.-N. 0. Democrat.
