A correspondent in to-day's paper
discusses the City Clcrkship. We
fully endorse all that he says in ref.
crence to Capt. Wiley. In selecting a
man for this Office, who more or less,
has to serve in the capacity of Mayor,
the people should see that a gentle,
man of character, intelligence, and
capacity, is elected, as town Recorder.
Mr.. Wiley combines all these quail.
tiles, and if he is not elected next
Saturday, by large majority, the
people will show great want of ap,
probation.

At Cadiz, Derrick hung ninety-five

is, to be the chokee instead of the

Bee -Stings for rheumatism.

The Prdeger Wochen6ldH con-
tains the following in regard to the
cure of rheumatism by the means
of bee stings: The correspondent
says that his wife having suffered
so much as to be unable to enjoy
any rest or sleep for the space of
six months, the right arm being
almost lame, preventing the suf-
ferer from doing any household
work, making her even unable TO
dress or undress herself, and hav-
ing heard that farmer, quite in
capacitated by rheumatism, had
been accidentally stung by bees,
and thereby got entirely cured, he
persuaded his wife TO try this rem
edy, as the pain from the sting of
the bees would not be greater tina II
that already suffered Three
bees were therefore laid and pressed
upon the right arm for considera-
BILE time, in order that the poison
bladder Of the insect should en-
tirely empty itself. The effect pre-
duced was astonishing, as the lady,
even on the first night, was en-
abled to enjay u long, good sleep,
the first time for at least six
months, the racking pain being en-
tirely gone. The arm was, OF
course, swollen greatly, in conse.
quence of the sting, but the SWELL
ing gradually disappeared upon the
application of some cooling lotion,
All pain was gone, the lame arm
recovered its previous vigor, and
not the least sign OF rheumatism
has since shown itself.

FreIshters Murdered by Ind,ans.
DEADwooD, D. T., Feb. 10TH
Couriers arrived at Fort Meade
this evensng from Rapid City with
news that two freighters had been
killed by Indians on the Fort
Pierre route, on the 18th, fifty miles
from Rapid City. The freighters,
named James Brady and Frank
Hannah, were on their way to
rapid city, loaded with grain. The
Indians killed Brady. Hannah,
mortally wounded, succeeded in
reaching ranch two miles from
the scene of attack, where he died
few hours later. The Indians
mutilated Brady's body and set fire
to his clothing. The Indians that
committed this outrage are sup
posed to be the same that attacked
party of hunters few days since
in the vicinity of Rapid City.

more than sufficient to bridge over

Nerve lnquletude and its Remedy.

Restless nerves, at least those that are
constantly so. are weak ones as we'll.
The true way to tranquilize them thor
oughly is to strengthen them. 1t may
be, nay, it very often is, necessary to
have recourse to a sedative or even an
opiate, in dangerous cases OF nerve in
quietude, but the continued use of such
unnatural palliatives is greatly to be
deprecated. Though not, in a restrictive
sense, a specific for nervousness, Hostet-
ter's Stomach Bitters is eminently cal
culated to allay and eventually over
come it, fact which the recorded expe-
rience of many goes to substantiate.
This inestimable tonic, by promoting di-
gestion, assimilation and secretion,
touches the three key-notes upon which
the harmony of all the bodily organs
depends, and the result is that fresh
stores or vitality are diffused through the
system, Of which the nerves receive tn cir
due apportionment and grow tranquil as
they gather strength.

THE Washington Post, the Dem

THE Washington Post, the DEM
ocratIc organ at the National Capt.
tai, has sent a reporter to interview
Mr.. Luttrsll as to the result on par
ties in this State Of the recent anti
Chinese legislation. The sub.
stance of the interview has been
tslegraphed from Washington to
the Sacramento Record Union.
From it we take the following ex-
traordinary passage, which shows
that Mr.. Luttrell must be pretty
badly demorallzed Democrat:
Questiou-What will be the eff.
feet on the Democratic party in
California? Will the organization
be strong?
Answer-Favorably to The Dem-
ocrats, generally. They nave moth
ing to expect from the record made
by the Republican party.
@ Will the WoIkingmen and
Democrats unite?
A.-The Workingmen will prob
ably nominate men whom the
| Democrats can support. In that
event we will have no ticket.
Now we confess that we cannot
recognize any right upon the part
of Mr.. Luttrell TO surrender the
Democratic organization to its adj
| versaries of any name. Should the
day unfortunately arrive when
| Democrats are afraid, in State
campaign of national Importance,
even to put ticket into the field
individual Democrats will have
manliness enough to exercise some
discretion as to how they shall
vote. There could be no completer
or more infallible way Of handing
over the State to the Republicans
than that outlined by Mr.. Luttrell
The true Democratic policy is not
to assume defeat in advance but to
set to work manfully to win either
a glorious.victory or to prepare to
endure with dignity an honorable
defeat. We doubt very much il
MIR. Luttrell has much increased
his popularity by such an astound-
ing pronunciamiento. The Demo
cratic party has survived fifty de
feats and come out with increased
strength. We doubt very much its
ability to do any more of the sheel
surrender business without dis
bandment.
