ofthe Waverly house, suspected that she
was the owner of the trunk at the Planters
house and therefore not entirely as reliable
as he would like person to be whom he
was feeding and lodging, and to prevent
her from repeating her game upon him he
demanded his pay every day. This did
not serve the woman's purpose and she be-
came angry, tried to intimidate Mr. Kim
brough when he came after his money by
drawing pistol, and when she saw that
her purpose was not being served
in this way she concluded to leave
and tramped all over town
for another place. She told the story Of
her sulferlngs to all who would lend her
willing ear and she found several who
listened, but only one who was taken in.
She related to him how that she was
poor lone orphan, without money and with
out friends, roaming from city to city seek
ing peace, but finding 1t not, being buffeted
by the cruel world wherever she went.
She longed for kind world, for some one
to love her and to caress her, but had long
ed in vain for 10 these many weeks, and
then she sObbcd. Her listener was youth
of tender feelings and he drew forth his
bandana and boo hooed. His grief was as
sincere as his head was soft, and when
he had vert he said to the woman, "come
you say your trunk is at the Planters
and you wish to flee from this cruel town.
All right, will assist you. ! have fifteen
dollars IN the bank I'M / cant get the
money row. It's after banking hours. You
aSe' from Paducah and have parents and
friends in Paducah, You shall go there.
They went to the Planters House together
late night before last The young sap
head asked for the woman's trunk and
left his bank book as security,
and then helped both the
trunk and It's owner to the
wharf boat to take the first boat for Pa
ducah, where, perhaps, Mrs. Harris will
find among the friends OF her benefactor
what she failed to find here. Thus did
this gallant youth act the good Samaritan
towards fellow creature, and like the
good Samaritan spoken Of in holy writ he
got his reward. Before parting, he said
Josie dear, I've paid for your
board and lodging and got your trunk for
you, now won't you kiss me" and she did.
George OImsted announces himself
in The BULLETIN this morning as a candi-
date for reelection to the office of police
magistrate What can we say in his favor
or moro properly speaking, what can we
truthfully say about him that is not in his
favor that does not commend him to the
voters OF the city as a model man, model
official His term of Office has been mark
ed by some very important cases, and in
oil the decisions he has rendered, there was
visible the fairness, intelligence and honesty
of thoroughly conscientious man who
was guided By the law correctly interpreted
and by good judgment Not Whisper
connecting him with any wrong, has fallen
upon the naturally suspicious public ear,
either during the time Of his official career
or before that. If honesty, competency
and taithfuness to duty entitle "a man to
public confidence, then George Olmsted
deserves that confidence, and if perfectly
satisfactory performance of the public
trusts confded to him render man
worthy of a reward, then George Olmsted
should receive that reward The people
will know how to show their appreciation
of Judge Olmsted's services, and we have
no doubt will place him where he will do
them the most good.
