Poor Old Rock

John Stone committed suicide at
Keoknk this morning by hanging.
Many of the older citizens will re-
member him better by the familiar
name Of 'sRock," as he was known in
the years past. He was for long
time an engineer on the X. & d. n.
railroad, and was afterwards Master
Mechanic for that Corporation in Des
Moines, but for some years past he
has been doing little odd jobs as he
could find them when his physical
condition would admit.
His wife few years ago, 1t Is said,
by some means was induced to aban-
don her home and from that time for
ward Crock" lost his interest in his
business, and for the purpose ofinduc.
ing momentary forgetfulness took to
the intoxicating cup, and, as usual, his
steps were ell the time downward
He was found hanging In q coal
shed on the levee at Keokuk dead
with his feet touching the ground
Whatever may have been his faults
If he had any, they will now be for.
gotten and his acquaintance of Other
years will only remember his good
qualities and his generous good ma.
ture in the olden time. Poor Ole

Last night man living in Cedar

with an officer, pounced on him. He
was taken before Fetzer aud the case
was sent to Cedar township for trial.

Bold Robbery.
Last night, about s o'clock, some
fellow forced an entrance to the
clothing store of Charles Gsldenburg,
No. Ii Main street. They had got
into the store from the rear and had
commenced to load up when they
we're interrupted by the clerk, who,
on discovering them, ran into the
street calling ''police" at the top of
his voice. which frightened the rob-
Der almost as bad as he had scared
the clerk. He dropped his load with
the exception of coat and pair of
pants, and lit out. The police were
soon found but of course, too late to
do any good as the fellow had too
much the start. The boldness Of the
proceeding may be better understood
when we state that the lamp was
burning in the store and the window
blinds in front were raised and the
view from the street entirely unob-
structed. The young fellow was so
badly excited that in place of cutting
off the retreat he gave the alarm in
HUM duu IUst tuc game.
Mccarthy, tie man shot by Mrs.
Boyer Friday evening, is still alive,
with some prospects in favor of his
recovery. Last night he got fright
ened and thought he was going to
die, and it is said sent for the priest.
He is better this morning, and may
possibly recover. His relatives are
with him, and he is receiving good
attention at the Sanborn House. A
friend of VIM. Mccarthy at work at
the Johnston RutiIer Works, says that
it is impossible that Mccarthy could
have been at Mrs. Boyers' house on
the day before the shooting, kicking
over furniture, &C., because he was at
work all day in the foundry, and re-
ceived credit therefor. Therefore his
friend argues that he could not have
been at Boyers' raising the row that
is accused of.

q general stampede of voters from

things around at alively rate. The

railroad bridge on the c. r. & ST. L.
track, across Harrow branch, were
blown of. Out east of town, +. l..

damage amounted to a few chimneys

POIter's big Gun.

The Potter committee got to WORK
last Wednesday, and have had on the
stand the man Aderson, who was a
supervisor ofregistration in East Fe-
liciana under Governor Kellogg. 1t
was this mans testimony that was
to startIe the country. The Demo
cratic press is endeavoring to work
up the "startle," but up to this time
it has failed to put in an appearance,
except in the negotiations of said
editors. 1t seems this fellow was a
political hummer who intended to
make the most of the situation for
himself. The following from the
Chicago Tribune, sums up Ander-
son and his testimony, in a manner
which we think fair after reading
an account of his examination be-
fore the committee. Potter evil
IDENTIFY thought he would disconcert
the ranks of the Republican party,
by opening the campaign with the
terrible disclosures" which An
derson would make. 1t will fall on
the country like "wet blanket"
The Tribune says:
''It is pretty clear from Ander-
sons statement, that he had entered
into q bargain with the Democrats
to let them capture the Republican
stronghold of East Felicians. The
registration was 2,127 Republicans
| and 1,0Q Democrats. Anderson
managed matters in such a way that
| not 8 single Republican vote was
returned, while the 1,004 Democrats
were allowed to cast nearly two
votes each, or l,736 for Tilden and
the whole Democratic ticket. The
traitorous scoundrel 8fterward
weakened, not having moral cour-
age to carry the rascality through,
but entered into a mild protest
against the frauds, and certified that
the election was not fair-imm edi-
ately demanding an office for not
sticking to his bargain with the bull
doZers, whereby they were to have
1,736 majority for Tilden, in a coun-
ty which was Republican by more
than two to one. He first cheated
the Republicans out of their legiti-
mate 1000 majority in the parish,
and then deprived the Democrats OF
their bogus majority of 1,736, and
| for the latter service bounded Stan
ley Matthews for office. Such is
the performance of the scoundrel
on whom Potter leans to Gust Hayes
and seat Tilden."

Tom Ryan.

We clip the following sensible
paragraph from that live Demo-
cratic paper, the WoOdson county
Post, printed at Neosho Falls:
eve do not sympathize very
strongly with many of the political
opinions of Mr.. Ryan, but we have
still less sympathy with some Of the
men who are throwing mud at him
all the time. So far as we can
learn he has made q creditable Re-
preventative for man in his first
term, and as he has faithfully kept
the pledges of sobrletY and Industry
made during the campaign, we
think his party owe him renom1n-
alton. 1t has become a habit with
people, as soon as they elect a man
to Office to begin fault-finding and
unjust criticism whether there is
call for it or not. 1t looks as though
they do ii, as Prentis says, to show
them they have q boss. Instead OF
this, If people would encourage and
hold up the hands of their public
servants, the public business would
be more faithfully performed. One
reason the east has habitually got
away with the baggage of the ives.
in legislation is their practice OF re-
turning members of Congress az
long as they try to do what theil
constituents want, while in the wesi
we are continually changing and
sending a new man up every sue
ceeding election. This same princi'
pie is true with respect to member
| of the legislature.

Talk About Crops and Herd-La

Talk About Crops and Herd-LaW.
Well, here is the 2sth of May, 1873,
and q beautiful, moderate thunder
corn, potatoes and other crops. With
in the last ten days the corn has
grown finely. Oats are looking splen-
didly-knee high. But the fall wheat,
now almost ready to cut, never looked
better, except few pieces that the
hail cut. To be on an eminence and
look at the waving wheat of the val
legs to be counted by hundreds of acres
as far as you can see, indicates a soil
that is well adapted to wheat raising.
From every quarter the good news
comes, good wheat and the corn, if
well cultivated, looks fair for q go cd
crop.
The thousands of new corners that
have arrived in Kansas within the last
few months cannot help but be pleas
ed with the country. Everywhere that
trees are large enough, the May Duke
and Richmond cherries, now about full
ly ripe, peeping out from under the
deep green leaves, are objects of real
admiration and luxury. Every year,
too, the young orchards and groves of
young forest trees around the new
homes of the wide prairies, make eve
rything more attractive and home
like.
From our place to the west line of
Chase, is one and s half miles and we
think we have very good opportuni-
ty to see the workings of the herd and
anti-herd methods of keeping stock,
and can easily see the advantages and
disadvantages OF both. We could name
parties who have been in Chase county
from ten to fifteen years and still have
no fruit. Roguish stock has nearly
every year more or less broken down
the young trees, whether forest or
fruit. just across In Marion county
the matter is altogether different. EV-
cry man takes care of his own stock.
He neither suffers it to destroy his own
trees or crops or those of his neigh
bors, and that difference is seen Just as
soon as 3 man crosses the line. Fruit
and forest trees make any country de-
sirable. They can soon be grown here
If stock is not allowed TO destroy them,
This all immigrants know about as
soon as they get here, and the result is
all herd law counties are getting ahead
of us in horticulture and agriculture.
But this Ia not all. Every town in
Marion county is growing with CON-
mendable rapidly. We are and have
been for years herding the cattle OF
Marion county, while her citizens have
been improving their farms, growing
their trees, and are now beginning e
be rewarded in the line of plenty Of
fruit. When will the hundreds Of
beautiful situations for orchards and
groves of timber be improved as thew
should be? When will the thousand,
of acres adapted to wheat growing be
bearing the golden, waving grain, as
q mere pittance of our country does
now? When will the towns of anti
herd law counties improve as their Sis.
tiers have? We answer when we he
come wise to our own prosperity As
our neighbors.
