Ex Gov. r. K. Scott killed a young
druggist named Drury at Napoleon,
Ohio, Christmas night. A dispatch
to the Charleston NeUs and Courier
gives the following particulars:
Drury vas a clerk in Knowland's S
drug store, and celebrated Christmas
Eve with several young companions,
among them being Scott's son, who
drank too much, and not wishing his
parents to see him intoxicated accepted
az offer Of Drury to share the latter's
bed at the drug store. About II
o'clock a gentleman sent by Mrs.
Scott to fud her son discovered bis
whereabouts, but failing to induce
him to 90 home returned to the hotel
anG reported the facts to Gen. Scott.
The General then went to the store,
called Drury up and asked for his son.
Drury denied that young Scott was
there. The father insisted Oh going
to the bedroom. Drury preceded him
and on reaching the door of the roou
turned round and refused to admit
Scott. The General drew revolver
and fred, as he claims accidentally,
the ball passing through Drury's
brain, causing instant death. Scott
got bis son and returned to the hotel,
reported the shooting and was ar
rested and taken to Defiance for safe
keeping, there being much excite
nent and talk of lynching here. His
preliminary trial occurs on Monday.
Drury was to have been married on
Tuesday.

No Cure NO PRY.

DR.. Pierce's Family Medicines are
guaranteed to cure, for particulars see
wrappers and pamphlets. They are
reliable, have not sprung into pop
ularity in week or mooth and gone
out of favor as rapidly, but being sus.
tanned By merit, have won a world
wide reputation, necessitating branch

WORLDS DIspENsARY MEDICAL AS
ISOLATION
GentZemen-For years I have been
great sufferer. My trouble first
started with terrible ague chills and
coustipations. This left me in 1878
with a racking cough and frequent
bleedings from the ilungs. Since this
time I have been continually doctor
ing, consulting physicians without
Dumber. From them | received no
benefit or encouragement. The most
noted physicians of our city who last
visited NE expressed their opinions in
the brief but hopeless words, Take
good care of yourself the few days you
have to live, We cannot help you I
grew steadily worse under their treat
ment. Ooe day, through reading
your Memorandum Book | learned of
the Golden Medical Discovery. With
but little hope of relief, | purchased q
bottle and took it. TO my surprise
and satisfaction it did me more good
than all the drugs I had taken the
year around I am now steadily using
it with benefit and recommend it to
all to be just what it is advertised.
Sincerely yours,
JAMES P. McGRATH,

Congressional Amenities.

A disgraceful scene was witness
ed in the lower house of Congress
the 21st between Messrs. Weaver
and Sparks. Sparks said that
Weaver had stated what was IN
true and that he was lacking in the
qualities Of O. gentleman. Weaver
said, Il denounce the gen tleman
personally as liar on the floor Of
the House." Sparks replied, "You
are a scoundrel and a villain.
Thereupon the two honorable gents
shucked of their coats and made
for each other, but a fsticuff was
prevented by other members.

Party Organization.

bAh'Aoi may 20, loco'
Mr.. EDIToR--In view of the coming cleo
tions and the desire entertained by large
majority of our people that the Democratic
party should be successful in the Union, the
State, county and precincts, Idesire to ask the
following questions:
Ought not Democrats hold county con-
ventions?
Is it not cardinal doctrine of the Demo-
cratic party to make nominations for all
offices?
Is not the Democratic party held response.
bic for the action of great many office
holders who have been elected by Republ-
can and Greenback votes, and who did not
receive majority of Democratic votes? Are
not those otlice-seekers who claim TO be Dem.
ocrats, but who are opposed to conventions
of Democrats, fearful that they are not the
choice of the Democratic party, and do they
not believe that they have better chanc of
receiving the votes of the Republicans and
Greenbackers than those who are recognized
Democrats and believe in party fealty.
Is ii not n fact that the strongest Oppo-
nents of Democratic convention in this
county are Republicans and Greenba hackers,
whose past successes in electing officers in
tho city of Dallas have taught them the
secret and talisman of success?
Is it not a fact that with fifteen or sixteen
hundred Republican and Greenback voters in
the county, voting together as they do, and
four or five Democrats running for each
Office, that the Rep Greenbackers will elect
their ticket as heretofore has been done in
this city?
1t is believed that no answer except an
affirmative one can be given to any of the
foregoing heterogeneous. They are pre-
sentcd to the thinking reliable Democratic
readers of your paper, and Of the county, and
careful consideration asked, and it is sub
mitted that the interests of the people and of
claims ofany individual friends who may be
candidates. SAM.
