IF Gen. Grant had any purpose to ad-
vance the interests of Conkling for the
Nomination by the appointment OF
"Don'' Cameron to place in the Cabi-
net, he has made an enormous mistake.
We do not believe that 1t was 80 in
tended. We can see no evidence of any
such purpose. Nevertheless, the mere
suspicion of the thing is rousing storm
of opposition against Conkling that
threatens to overthrow any chances he
may have ever had for the nomination.
Moreover, Cameron's nomination is by
mo means popular one. The public
mind associates him directly with his
father, whom Mr.. Lincoln had to invite
70 step down and out from the same De-
partment. And all this, whether just OF
unjust as to Mr.. Conkling, is telling for
eibly against his chances for nomina-
tion, which, never very strong, are now
growing small by degrees and beauti-
luHy less.

He is a graduate Of the Naval Academy,
In the class OF 1912. He married a

In case the Senate decides favorable
to its Jurisdiction, it is proposed to
make an order that all the testimony in
the Belknap case be taken before COM
mittee and reported to the Senate for
consideration and final Judgment. This
measure is suggested for saving time to
the Senate. But we presume that such
course was never contemplated under
the Constitution, nor by the law.

WHEELER & WILSON'S
New No. 6 Sewing Machine.

We, manufacturers Of Boots and Shoes, are
using Wheeler & Wilson'S New No. Sewing
Machine in all kinds of stitching on our work,
and confidently believe that 1t will supersede
all others in this branch Of manufactures, for
the following reasons:
1. The work done by this machine ia superinr
to that OF any other in variety, amount, excel
lence and beauty.
2. This machine is more durable than any
other Of its class, requiring much less outlay
for repairs and renewal Of parts.
8. It does the cording or staying of button
holes in most elegant and substantial man
ner. without the expense Of royalty.
In short, because by the use of this machine
we can turn out superior work at less cost than
with any other.

A terrible tragedy occurred at Bloomingdale
on Sunday, the 25th inst Lafayette Stone

been raving for the preceding three or four
days, and was being watched by his friends,
during the forenoon procured butcher knife,
and eluding his watchers, went to the resi-
dence OF Dennis Cooley, some two or three
miles away. He was pursued by Wesley
Vaughn, brother-n-law, and o man named
II, II. Shaw. Vaughn went into the house to
pursuade Stone to return to his home, when
Stone made an assault upon him and stabbed
and cut him 80 severely that he died the fol-
lowing night. Cooley gave the alarm and
Shaw came to vaughn's relief, and succeeded
in capturing the maniac. Shaw induced Stone
to accompany him to the village Of Bloom
ingdale and on their way thither, they met
Mrs. Stone, accompanied by some persons in
search OF him. As soon as stone saw his
wife, he broke away from Shaw, and made a
furious assault upon her knocking her down
and cutting her about the head in two or three
places, and inficting severe cash on the
breast. Stone was then seized, securely tied
and brought to the jail in this village. On
Monday, the formality Of an examination was
gone through with before Justice Galligan,
and on Tuesday, Sheriff Slovenian took Stone
to the Insane Asylum at Kalamazoo. Mrs.
Stones wounds are not considered fatal.
