WaDsie Herd.

The Farmers Stock Journal has thi.
to say of this splendid herd advertis.
ed for sale in this paper: This sale
viii comprise animals of eXcellen,
form, of various shades of pedigree
There are a number belonging to the
most fashionable bred families of the
times, which are much sought after
by buyers who love long line OF
noted ancestors-and there are many
of what are termed in Short-horn
literature, palmer bred-but none the
less Thoroughbred. The practical
farmer or stock grower wants breed
ing animals of the first quality in
form, with record beyond question
of purity.
There are three bulls in use the herd
this season, and they are good ones
not only in breeding but animals
also. The massive form of Marquis
with the style and finish that has won
him so many prizes at the different
State fairs is one of them. He looks
as well as ever. The young Craggs
bull, Oxford of Springwood, got by
the Earl of Oxford 1886, is not only
full Of Bates best blood, but is bull
of such fine form as to make him a
model at the head of any herd. The
third bull, Geneva Earl, is a Rose OF
Sharon of the most fashionable breed
ing, and we are inclined to give him
the credit of being the best animal OF
the three. A.yOung masculine look
ing beast which will likely impress
his good qualities on his offspring.
There are nearly score of other
young bulls differing in ages from
one year old down to young calves
and they should find places in every
part of our country.

An extra train loaded with live
stock from Pella, for Buffalo New
York, passed through this city yester-
day evening. These cattle were rails.
ed in Marion county principally, and
were very handsome lot.
A fellow from Batavia was in the
city yesterday evening, and laid him.
self out to have some fun with the
boys. He got along first rate until he
got drunk and into the Jail. Here he
did not seem to like the company and
proposed to clean out the concern
forthwith. He claimed that he was
the best man who ever looked at the
sun through those cross-barred CRATES
ifnot in the city. He walked up t.
one fellow who was spelling for 6
little melee, and made some insulting
remark, for which he was knocked
down. He was little stunned, but
good grit and when he got on hi:
feet again made a lunge for another
fellow who lifted him one under the
ear and Knocked him down again
This time he was helped up, but still
he was not satisfied, and pitched on
another fellow. Down he went
again all of heap. Despair seemed
to seize the Batavia chap. He was
afraid to get up and afraid to lay
where he was, and adopted the cx-
pedient of calling the sheriff. Tom.
says that he thought the house was OH
fire or some one was killed. Wher
he got there Batavia was laying in
the corner and ring was formed
around him, and each one of the
party was taking turns in pummeling
him. The ring leaders were locked
up in the cells, and quiet was again
restored.

A FINE PORTRAIT.-In the front
window of the Postoffice is life-size
portrait of Charles III. Hamilton, son
of A. III. Hamilton. The picture was
painted by Mrs. M. N. Burkholder, of
this city. 1t was painted from a pho
tograph taken Of little Charlie some 9
years and 6 months previous to his
sad demise, and was the most recent
ly taken picture of him in possession
of the family. Besides, it was in a
group of six, and not entirely perfect.
Mrs. Burkholder came here some six
months ago from Mt. Pleasant, where
she had an excellent reputation as an
artist, never saw Charlie in life, and
therefore was only aided by the pic
ture and such information as the fam
| lily could give her. The portrait is
Of course likeness of him when
seven instead of nine years old, and
yet the age is sufficient to preserve
the expression of countenance, and it
is pronounced by everybody who
knew him most superb and faithful
likeness. 1t is regarded by the pa
rents as exceedingly life-like, a
far more faithful picture than they
had hoped to be able to obtain.

one or two will die. The mill was
blown to pieces, and buildings in its
immediate vicinity were much shat

of the victims could be collected or
which to hold an inquest. The sound
of the explosion was heard for miles

CHICAGO, March 22.-The trial OF
the election judges of the twentieth
ward of this city terminated yester.
day. At s O'Clock this morning the
jury came into court announcing a
disagreement. The evidence showed
that from the precinct in which the
accused were judges that only 80
votes for Huck, the candidate for
county treasurer, were returned,
while GIL men swore in court that
they voted in that precinct for Huck.
Various Irregularities were proven by
the prosecution and yet one Of the
jurymen stood out for acquital. He
refused to take any part in the ar
gument and would make no answers
to the presentation of evidence which
his fellow jurors made.

Hermann Becker, formerly store

the surplus was put on the market
