Take him alive! Why didn't you
take him alive? If you are a special
devotee of this politer form of dispos-
ing Of such outlaws as Jesse james,
why did not you grid on your revol-
vers, enter upon the hunt for him,
send him notice you were coming,
and throw a little fresh salt on his tail
and take him alive? ANY man in the
State was authorized to do so, who
would or could; for months ago the
Governor, by proclamation, offered a
large reward for him ''alive'-not
dead. Why then dld not you en-
gage in the interesting and pleasant
pastime? But you and these carping
criticizing editors left it to Bob Ford
to stake him alive.,' and he took him
afive-for If he had been dead he
would not have wanted him-much
after the same method that Jesse
James himself took other people
saiiye''-shot him without notice.

"a DEAD DUCK"

Politically Speaking, That's Applicable to
II. G.. Hicks.
The GLOBE has heretofore mentioned
the fact that in the Republican county con-
vention V. G. Hush, who was candidate
for nomination to the Legislature, was
slaughtered in order to give 81. G. Hicks
the nomination. The result was a deal of
unkindly feeling has been engendered
in the Republican camp. Hicks was not
slow in ascertaining the facts in the situa-
ton, and to strengthen his position made
overtures to the Prohibitionists, but
was promptly replused. He then
turned his attention to the
anti prohibitionists, but received no en-
couragement, and therefore is compelled
to run solely upon the merits of the Re-
publican party, which looks coldly upon
his candidacy.
A gentleman a few days since
questioned w. D. Washhurn respecting his
opinion of the Hicks campaign. Mr.. w.
promptly replied, Sticks is dead duok."
In fact, that seems to be the opinion of all
| the other candidates.

People of this section have got entirely
out of conceit with the weather boss. Ev-

made great promises of sending rain until
about 10 O'Clock, when he disperses the
clouds and comes around with a smiling
face, but the trick has been played once
too often. and people place no more conf
dence in his morning promises.
The alarm of fire at noon to-day was
caused by slight blaze in Burbridge's
laundry on Main street. The fire started
in the drying room, the sides and ceiling
of which were badly scorched. About S25
worth of clothing was destroyed, half of
which belonged to patrons of the establish
ment and the rest to girls who worked in
the house. Mr.. Burbridge has his laundry
in the old bowling alley, and auffered
similar loss in the same place about four
weeks ago.
The committee appointed to select
proper places for the location of the five
watering fountains with which the city is
to be provided designated spot on Union

a watering place SO near his property.
