A Big Barn.

Our reporter was in Clinton coun-
ty the other day and came across
what he calls the largest barn in
Iowa. 1t is located three miles west
from Dewitt, on the farm of Fred
Suffer, who has patch of 800 acres
there. The building with the sheds
attached, covers half an acre, is about
an eighth Of mile long and a quar-
ter of mile around. 1t is built in
the form of square, with the south
side left open. The barn 10 story
and half high, and will hold about
four hundred tons Of hay, or $50 hors-
es, or $40 cattle and 200 tons of hay !;
or, 100 cattle could be put in the sheds
which rdn along the west and north
sides Of the hollow square, and the
$50 horses put inside, together with
the hay; giving q shelter to over 800
head of stock. and 200 tons of hay, be-
sides the shelter the hollow square
gives from the north, east and west
winds. The hollow square contains
about half an acre. Our reporter
would like.t0 hear of larger barn,
and until he does will claim this as
the largest in the country.-Davenport

THE LIVERPOOL DISASTER,
Thirty seven Men, Women and
Children Crushed to Death
In q Theatre.

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 12.-It is stated
there were between 1900 aud 5000
persons in Colosseum theater, lasl
night, at the time of the fatal panic
1t appesrs that one of the performers
was singing 3 comic song when free
fight commenced in the pit. The cry
OF fire was raised and there was 4
general stampede for the box Office
entrance, though there are said 10
have been five other doors open for
the egress Of the audience. The no.
lice, inside and outside Of the thcater.
vainly endeavored to control the fran.
tic crowd. The structure OF the the.
alter at the point whore the crush oc-
Cured 10 intricate, the exits converge
into narrow we'll and il was ir this
that the suffocation took place and
the dead were piled six or seven bod
les deep. An upright partition in the
center doorway stopped the passage
until one OF the mon attached to the
tneater cut It away, enabling some Of
the Imprisoned people 10 escape. A
scene Of the greatest excitement pre-
vailed outside the theater.
The fire engines and fire escapes
arrived and the firemen joining the
police entered the building 10 reas-
sure the people. The manager of the
theater, upon the first alarm, rushed
into the pit from the entrance and
shouted to the people to remain quiet,
but all his efforts were Intellectual nm.
~ the theater had bcen nearly clear
cd, when the dead and injured were
carried to the Royal Infirmary. Two
Of the dead were women, three bows.
and thirty-twO strong. able, bodied
men, Of the lsboring class.

THE Inter Ocean is mourning over
the result Of the congressional cleo
tions in Iowa. We want to record
right here that the Inter Ocean is more
responsible for the result than any
five other newspapers published in
this country. It used the stiletto
within the ranks Of the party; it de-
pleted our ranks from the rear. 1t
was the agency more than almost any
thing else that strengthened those
once republicans, who had gone off in
the greenback craze to fight the re-
publican nominees. The damaging
work of the Inter Ocean in the recent
canvass will never be forgotten by the
republican party of Iowa. 1t becomes
our duty to discountenance its circu-
lation among the republicans ofIowa.
There is no excuse for its course; il
was untrue to the faith of the party.
1t willfully stood by its error, when il
was clearly proven to be in error.

of his experiences and observations
on the Pacific Slope. Among other
brave words uttered, Mr.. Reed had a
kind word to say in favor of class
that it has become popular to kick.
He said:
1 have yet to see a Chinese loafer.
He is always going, coming, loaded
both ways. Meek, patient, with a
face on him full of the expression that
he does not know what he has done
that he should be kicked by the hood
lums, -',jeered at by genteel and be-
diamonded idlers, why he should be
the theme on Sunday of the sand-lot
orators TRADE, why he should have
all his faults magnitied and multiplied
in the daily papers," His face shows
that he does not see why this is so.
He looks as if he were about to burst
into tears, but he never does. l do
not wonder that he smokes opium.
Cut off from the land that bore him,
outraged by the land he finds, do
not wonder that he desires to forget |
the city he is i'm, and his neighbOrs.
There are some Christians In San
Francisco who have mercy upon him.
There is one paper, and the ablest,
which is not ashamed to speak for
him.. In hurried journey one cam

hat he Is invariably civil and always

~ him. ] believe that he has vices,
but that is because he is human, not
because he is Chinese. He is not con-
verted very rapidly, and will not be
until he learns to distinguish between
the religion of Jesus Christ, the relig-
ion of love and mercy and peace, and
the Christians who kick him and cut
|offhis cue. 1t will dawn on him after
a while.

Mrs. Roberts, in the Washington
Capital, very truthfully remarks =
MARRYING a man to reform him is
like being measured for an umbrella.
1t may or may not be satisfactory
but You might ss well try to make a
politician honest az to talk to wo-
man who loves q man. No matter
how worthless he may be, she will
brave everything for him; and /
wouldn't give snap for her if she
didn't. Not long since, on the ave-
nue., l saw man, respectable looking
in helpless state of intoxication and
Q policeman on each side of him tax
ing him to the station house; behind
him was his wife, q young, nice look
ing, we'll dressed woman. She paid
no attention to the rabble following.
or the wondering looks OF the passer-
by, but stuck to him, trying to pacify
and quiet him. / could not help
thinking how little man would
stand by woman. Man is of the

demagogue, who, in the campaign,
sunk and degraded whatever Of man.
hood he may have ever had and dis
graced whatever Of laurels he may
have gained in life. By his reckless
improvidence he had bankrupted
himself, gone into debt to supply the
demands of himself and family, until
his credit had become worthless.
The fine raiment he wore upon his
back five years ago yet remains UNI
paid for. He has seemed to presume
upon the good looks and vanity of j.
B. Weaver to make his purchases,
and in payment has acted upon his
theory that circulation is the chief
end of currency and not redemption.
Upon this theory, however. his NOTE
currency has failed both i'm circulation
and redemption, just as any other
currency would. He lived Mt the en-
pense of other people until it PLAYED
out and failed to furnish the necessa-
ry supplies, and hence, as one false
step prepares the way for another and
he was swept into sale OF
himself to the democracy and into
deceitful, lying plan to de-
Iude enough republicans to foist him
nto Congress as pink of reformer.
Now the people don't really think
UGH chaps make good reformers; they
ave the sense and honesty not to so
mink, but they have been deceived,
nd when they learn the true state of
he case as they will, they will mar
rel at their credulity and foOlishness.

In Mahaska county, man who has
been heretofore well known in educa-
tional circles, and who styles himself
"Prof. Z. Baker," was nominated by
the democrats and greenbackers for
Clerk of the Courts. The night be-
fore the election he made a speech at
the Court room, in which he said:
"The republican party have been
in power SO long and made times SO
hard that our women will be cOmpell-
ed to sell their virtue. / repeat it.
our Vices and Daughters are SO re-
duced in circumstances (meaning f.
nancially) that they will be compell-
ed to sell their virtue to sustain them
selves and children"
This SO disguised all decent people
in Oskaloosa that Mr.. Baker was
buried under 800 majority, and is very
properly the object of scorn and de-
by all decent men wherever
he is known. Had there been time
to let the people of the county know
what he had said he would have been
set down on by q thousand majority.
This Baker was Knight of the Col
den Circle and rampant copperhead
during the war, and is a fair sample
If many greenback leaders and

An Old Time Tragedy.

SALT LAKE, Oct. l.-In the fall of
1857, at the time Johnson's command
was approaching Salt Lake, six men,
called the Aiken party, arrived at
Utah from California on their way
East; they were all we'll supplied
with animals and money. They were
arrested near Ogden as spies. Four
of them were released by the Nor
mon authorities and put under escort
