we learned them and as they came
from reliable authority, we have no
reason but to believe them. On a
certain time while the communica-
ton was being mailed the ID. p. M.
was very near the p. o. box, Gust
hoppened to be, as he puts it) and
saw who put in the communication,
and mentioned the matter to several
persons and sold them the CORES
pendent was not cute enough to get
in the communication without him
knowing it. You can call it 3jocular
or just what you please, but the facts
are he watched the box and saw who
put in the communication and then
made 1t his business to give it pub
lefty We do not wish to pursue
this matter further, the facts as we
learned them will fully substantiate
what has been said, and as we are
not individually interested, will drop
the matter, unless differently assailed.

City and Vicinity Notes.
Hanging rs an Argument.

An old codger by the name OF Ferris
was charged with stealing two or
three bushels OF wheat from Linken-
helt's warehouse one day last week.
Some parties who thought to make
him confess the crime got rope and
putting it around his neck in hang
man fashion ordered him to "fess up.
This he declined to do, and the rope
being thrown over beam was drawn
tightly until the old fellow was near
ly strangled but still he refused to
tell. About the third time he con-
cluded that it was the intention to
hang him and he admitted the theft,
at the same alleging that when a
rope was drawn so tight around
mans neck he would confess to al
most anything. He concluded that
dancing on thin air was poor amuse-
ment and on being released he re-
stored the stolen wheat.

We Must Have The Name.

A very good article has been laid
on our table from Argos, concerning
the meetings there, but we are COM
PEELED to leave it out because we do
not have the name of the writer. 1t
is truly strange that SO many people
fail to comply with this well known
newspaper rule Of furnishing the
name OF the author of such articles
which are offered for publication. II
is a rule that newspaper men are
compelled to rigidly enforce, and it
is impossible to deviate from 1t in
any instance.

We desire to whisper into Judge
Keith's sound ear that there IL great
dissatisfaction among the people Of
this county at his course In permitting
the circuit court TO be prolonged for
weeks over an Insignificant case that
might be tried In a few days. The
last term WIS taken up by a case
which occupied the attention OF the
court for twenty days, and which
was heard the first time in four days
There did not appear to be any earth
~ use for this tedious prolongation,
add 1t only afforded lawyers the graft
sacation Of doing an immense amount
Of unnecessary talking and speechi-
tying. The people have to pay for
this amusement, and it is high time
that Judge Keith paid some attention
to the rights Of ax-payers. who are
certainly entitled to have the cour ts
hurried along with ali the speed con-
sistent with the proper admfnistra-
ton of Justice.

The Argos Well Poisoning.

William Foltz, OF Argos, who was
arrested on charge OF having pois-
oned McClure's we'll, was arranged
before Justice Reeve on last Thurs
day and waived preliminary exam
nation The grand jury will take
up the case. AS we understand it
the evidence against him is wholly
circumstantial. 1t appears that
young Foltz was in the drug store
one day and dropping something be-
hind the counter he sprang over to
pick it up. The next day he did the
same thing and the proprietor then
missed two bottles OF strychnine that
had been sitting on a shelf under the
counter. 1t was supposed that Foltz
adopted this plan to get the poison.
Some three or four families used
water from the well, and the poison
was discovered by Mrs. Mcclure who
taking sup OF the water was nau-
seated by the bitter taste. There
was suspicion of poison, and tho
water being submitted to DR.. Gould.
he at once pronounced it poisoned
with strychnine. 1t will probably be
shown that young Foltz had made
threats toward Mr.. Mcclure.
