Y' The people of Wolf River Township know
that Robert p Shulsky made the best Township
Trustee that ever held Office in Doniphan Coun-
ty. OF course, he could not please everybody
by his acts. for a Township Trustee has diff
cult position to fill; but he always looked close
ly to the interests of the Township, and manag-
ed its affairs admirably. When he came into
Office, the Township was deeply in debt; he has
placed the Township bridges in good condition,
has paid off the debt, and has handsome sum
of money in the Treasury. That is the kind of
man the people want for County Commissioner.

II Some Of the Greeubaek papers are raising
q hurrah because, as they aIlege, Col. Martin, OF
the Atchison CAaHpios, while candidate for the
nomination for Governor, expressed Greenbsck
sentiments, but now is opposed to fat money,
and iu favor Of gold basis. Even If this were
true, We cannot see how it concerns the Green

Every man may not have secured the nomin a.

sound Republicans, and all competent men. We
say not . word against the personal character
or fitness of any opposing candidate. We leave
it to the opposition organ to make what specu-

Republican nominees. We ask support for the
ticket, because the candidates are competent,
and because they are politically sound.

SUICIDE
A Young Man Shoots Himself.

At II o'clock to-day Mr.. Fred. A. Du-
mont was in good health, physically, and
apparently possessed of quiet mind.
At the above hour he was at his fathers
place of business, near the river, which is
that of a steamboat machinist, under the
firm name of G. T. Dumont q Co., for whom
Fred acted as bookkeeper.
He left the shop shortly after IL o'clock
and went to his home on Pike street just
below Third; he found no one at home ex-
cept servant, his wife having gone to her
mothers, justa few doors below on the oppo-
site side of the street.
About 12:3) his wife came home, and
upon entering her room she found her hus-
band prostrated, and Immediately sent for
physician, who, upon examination found
o pistol wound in the left side just below
the nipple.
DR.. Dawson was sent for and probed the
wound, but did not find the ball The pa
tent seemed to suffer great agony, and died
at 1:15. The deceased was thirty-two years
of age. He was married some few months
ago.
1t is reported that he and his father have
not been altogether on amicable terms, but
no serious trouble has ever occurred, and
nothing recently, nor any of such nature
as to actuate such a deed.
No cause could be ascertained for the
rash act,

Cutting in COvimgtOn.

Covington was the scene Of another cut
ting affray yesterday, which resulted in the
death of Alex. Johnson by knife in the
hands of Dick Bryant, according to the
Coroner's Jury. The parties some time
since had little squabble about something.
They met in the old Elliston House yester-
day, and dispute arose between them,
when Bryant jumped from his chair and
plunged knife into the breast of Johnson,
with the above result after which he went
directly to the Marshaps Office and gave
himself up to Deputy Marshal Healy. Bry-
ant struck him but one blow. Dr. w. A.
Hall held post-mortem, and testified that
the deceased came to his death from an in
cised wound in the left breast

AN OLD STORY IN New DREss.-A not
undramatic incident in Partisan pocket
picking is reported. A well ll-dressed gentle
man, wearing lustrous diamond ring en-
ters an omnibus. The lady sitting beside
him thinks him impertinent, but leaves the
vehicle to- avoid scandal. She subse-
quently feels for her purse, but it is gone,
and in its place she finds the obtrusive gem.
1t has slipped from the thief's finger as he
was securing the porte-monnaie: The lady
hastens to the police office to tell of her loss
and the exchange, and there she finds. the
well-dressed gentleman arrested by ajew-
elcr, who has lost diamond ring. He is
about to be released, in the absence of
proofs, on the plea that the accuser has
made mistake, when the ring SO strangely
obtained by his second victim is produced
and confounds him. The moral is that
ladies should wear narrow pockets.

twenty to thirty lodges of Northern Indians
stampeded on the night of the 10th, and left
the impression that they were going to
Sitting Bull, but are just as likely to go to.

a camp supposed to be in that country"
A report has reached Yankton which
appears authentic that q few days ago
twelve Indians at the Spotted Tail Agency
revolted against the local authorities, and
threatened the lives of some official attaches
of the agency. Spotted Tail interposed to
quelI the disturbance, but was informed by
the turbulent parties that, while they re-
garded him as their head chief, they would
not obey him under the present circumstan-
ces. Spotted Tail then drew his revolver
and killed two of the insurgents, when the
balance retreated and have net since been
heard of. The cause of the difficulty, or
whether it extends beyond the dozen Indians
revolted, is not known at this time.
A recent dispatch from Lead City, three
miles from Deadwood, says: ga mob of
one hundred and fifty men, mostly roughs
from outside camps, have taken possession
of the town. All the streets in the town
have been jumped, and all the roads leading
to the quartz mills are in like condition.
A meeting, called by the Trustees of the
town, was broken up. The mob elected
officers and passed their own laws, one of
which is to the effect that the streets
should be but twenty feet wide. At the
present time the mob is yelling and shooting
throughout the town. The citizens are
arning and organizing to protect life and
property"

Murder and Suicide in New York.

James johnson, aged thirty-four, had an
alteration with a woman, supposed to be
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Johnson, at his home.
in the rear of 196 Orchard street, New York,
recently. The neighbors heard the quarrel
and two pistol shots fired, when the police
were called in. TIE woman was found on
the floor dead, with her throat cut and her
forehead smashed, and sixteen stab wounds
on her body. johnson lay near by with his
throat cut from ear to ear, and two pistol
shot Wounds in his abdomen. The floor was
a pool of blood, in the midst of which were
a revolver, a razor, a shoemaker's knife, and
an iron stove hook-a massive blunt instru.
ment. 1he man undoubtedly killed the
woman and then himself. Mrs. johnson
was found to have been pregnant, and eight
of the stab wounds seemed to have been
aimed at the unborn child. She did not
live with her supposed brother-in.law, but
came every day to cook for him. The bodies
were taken to the Morgue.
Mrs. Johnson was sometimes accompanied
by her two little children when going to
cook, and the police are now looking for the
chi dren. At a late hour at night, c. Miss.
back, of the Empire City Copying Company,
746 Broadway, called at the police station,
and gave the following history of the parties
of the tragedy:
"James VI. johnson was formerly a
wealthy diamond broker of Chicago, and
worth from $250,00O to $500, 900. Three
years ago he failed and came to New York,
where he had just got started again when
$4,000 worth of diamonds were stolen from
him, which used him up. He knew the
murdered woman to be Mrs. Dunnan, who
has a divorced husband in Chicago, where
she first met Johnson, who had been intimate
with her before he lost his property"
