Human nature is a singular thing as
1t exhibits itself to the newspaper man.
A newspaper may devote columns IN
csumsudatlon of an individual or cor
poration and it will very conplacently
be taken as a matter OF course-deserv-
sd and only what the paper is good for; (;
but, o, my! just let it contain three
lines OF criticism, no matter how well
msrited, and you may be sure you will
hear from it. While you get no word
Of thanks for the compliments you nev-
ar fail to get curses for the criticisms.
The announcement Of Hon. e. q.
Tevis. for state senator from this dis
tr,ct, will be found in another column OF
this issue. Mr.. Tevis is citizen OF
Johnson county, residing near Holden
He was born in Kentucky, and gradua-
ted at Center College, Danville. He
removed to Missouri in 1869, and has
been engaged in farming and stock
raising ever since Mr.. Tevis has serv-
aa tive terms in the lower house credi-
tably to himself, and now desires to ad-
vance step. He is clever, genial
gentleman, and attends faithfully to all
business entrusted to him.
Deputy Warden Bradbury was com
pslled, last Tuesday, to kill conVlc
named Smith. Smith first attacked {
fellow prisoner named Broderick, ant
killed him with spade, he then at
tempted to kill Mr.. Gates, one OF tn
guards, and was only prevented from
doing SO by Capt. Bradbury, who she
him down. There is not a better prise
officer IN the country than Capt. Brao
bury, and his management OF the dis
c,pllne of the penltentiary is unexceI
tionable. He is firm but kind, and "
feel satisfied that nothing but dire nj
costly forced HIM to this extremity.
