An Artificial Earthquake.

In an open space about half a mile north Of
the public square in Oskaloosa, Iowa, stood the
powder magazine Of III. l.. Spencer Il Co.
Three boys, one Of them the son OF the Mayor
of Oskaloosa, went out to do little target
shooting with a magazine breech-loading rifle
which the Mayor had drawn in a rafile, and
had turned over to his son. The youngsters
blazed away Mt the powdor-magazine, using 1t
as target, and one Of the explosives
pierced the wall and ignited the powder in
side the building. In the explosion OF the
five tons of powder the three boys were
instantly killed, their bodies being horribly
mangled. The bodies OF the unfortunate boys
were carried from fifty TO 200 yards from the
magazine, and mutilated almost beyond recog-
milton. The explosion caused great damage to
windows nearly all the plate glass fronts in the

This gentleman is a licensed law
yer, candidate for Prosecuting At
torney of this county, and we find
that a ticket with Democratic
heading, and the names oil all the
Democratic nominees upon IL except
Parks and Shaffer, and in their stead
are the names of Evans and Rohr-
baugh. Has this ticket been gotten
up and circulated by Mr.. Rohrbaugh?
If so, for what purpose, and with
what intention Why should his
name be printed on a Democratic
ticket is the ticket so prepared as
to relieve the printer or circulator of
it from the penalty provided by law
against an unlawful ballot? The
letters of the names Of the balance
of the ticket are in Roman capitals,
and his name appears to be likewise
in capitals, only a little crooked,
called italic, not distinguishable in
any other respect from the balance
Of the ticket, and not one man in
twenty would notice, in glaucing
over it, the little crookedness refer
red to above. What says the law in
regard to such a ballot a? That such
a name shall be ''printed in italics"
and in such style and manner as
shall be easily disUinguishable by a
voter. 1t does not stop at its being
in italics, but more than that is re-
quired, and this ballot certainly lacks
what is intended by the law, and that
is to protect the voter from decep-
ton.
The law is a good and wise one,
and here is fair opportunity to test
it. Mr.. r.. being a lawyer, of course
he understands what is what. Let
any voter into whose hands this tick
ct has been placed, examine it for
himself, and at the same time read
the law, which can be found in the
Acts of 1882, chapter 139, section 5,
and form his own opinion whether
the printer or circulator of such a
ballot does not render himself liable
to punishment under the law. We
will see. *##

pose the temperance movement ::
Ignorance of its designs, an un-
conquerable appetite, interest in
the whiskey rings, axes TO grind,
and the fear or loseing an elec-
pioneering medium. [ do not

LEXINGTON. KY, Oct. 1.-The
remains of an immense mastodOn
OF most incredible proportions
were discovered yesterday at Par
is, hy. A number of negro men
at work on the extension of the
Kentucky Central, about two miles
from town, came upon the skele-
ton or bones Of some immense an
imal about ten feet under ground,
i'm a soil of steatiiic nature. The
first discovered was the ankle,
which, on being measured, showed
a diameter of seven inches. Fol-
lowing up this bone, they discOv-
cred the knee, which, through the
socket was twelve inches in diam
eter From the ankle to the top
of the shoulder blade-it being
three feet two inches Wide-was
fourteen feet seven inches. The
head was Of large proportions,
measuring five feet in length and
several in width. The jaw was
twelve inches thick and the teeth
are preserved in good condition.
The back bone was then followed
up, and forty feet from the head
was the bones of the tail. The
HEADQUARTERS were exceedingly
large, measuring in height TWEEN
ty-three feet eight inches. The
hip bone was ten and a quarter
inches thick. The teeth on being
weighed proved each to be two to
three pounds. Altogether it is the
most astonishing curiosity ever
knoAn in this community, and
enough of the remains are still in
good condition to prove the truth
of the assertion. 1t is to be re.
