An account of a shocking tragedy
on the high seas was related in the
Thames Police Court during the
trial of John Anderson for murder
of sailor. The ship Cattysark
sailed from London on May 5, 1880.
for Singapore, having on board the
prisoner as chief officer and the
sailor since killed. The stewards
story was that, while the ship was
rounding the Cape of Good Hope,
John Anderson had struck the de-
ceased over the head with capstan
bar, from the effects of which he
died on the following day. The
Captain then confined the mate to
his room, to which the steward car.
ried hts meals. In the beginning of
September, while the ship was at an
Choir in the roads of Anger the pris-
oner told the steward that he he'd
arranged with the Captain to make
his escape, and during the night he
disappeared. On the second day
out from Anger the Captain COM
mitted suicide by jumping overheard.
The ship was brought back by the
second mate. John Anderson, who
had made his escape, shipped as
second mate in the Marianne
Gottebohn, and on the ships arrival
in London was apprehended. He
claimed that the act was done in
self-defense, but the matter evidently
preyed on the Captains mind and
led him to commit suicide.
Since the advent OF the toy pistol
kerosene has been put to the blush.

The Misogynist.

"How true is Washington Irving's
description: Thus have l seen,
he says, 'some pestilent shrew OF a
housewife, after filling her home
with uproar and in-humor, come
dimpling out Of doors, swimming
and curtsying, and smiling upon all
the world After this, with his
queer little face puckered up in en-
joyment of his theme, he launched
ont into a diatribe on the disadvan-
tages of matrimony. First he quoted
a rude comparison-I think by
Seneca-between telling ones wife
a secret and unnecessarily taking a
sea voyage. Then he bethought him
of Montaigne's saying: " Cato,
like ourselves, was Disguised with
his wife," From that he proceeded
to another saying Of Montaigne's,
that marriage was like cage: those
who were out of it were always
wanting to get in, and those who are
within were all for coming out-a
saying which, he said, was no doubt
borrowed from Chaucer's lines:
Marriage is such a rabble rout,
~ IN NyOIll6 fuln oct
in,
And those who are in would fain get out"
The last line, he thought, was GER
tainly true, the second one less uni
yersally so. Then he had a fling at
people who married twice, and Won
dered if any one had ever been so
fortunate as Mabguf in Les
Miserables, who, being asked
whether he had ever been married,
replied, "J'ai oubhe J" ="
"Did you ever read Holy Living 2
You will find there what a sanity
man thought of mothers-in-law. He
tells how q man threw stone at a
dog; the stone missed the dog, but
hit his mother-in-law. Thus says
the pious author, the stone was not
worthy in vain. Pom
posity thought that was speaking
to him, and answered with friendly
gravity, Zone of the advantages
of that holy state which we have
heard so strangely aspersed is the
influence of the matron in discour-
aging irregular hours. l wish you a
good night, SIR" " Good night, sir
good night" chirped the voice OF
the misogynist after us. "You

THE COUNTY CONVENTION SATURDAY.

The Republican Convention, Saturday
was a quiet affair There was no opposition
developed against Mr.. Sluss as the most
county, although there appeared afterwards
to be some feeling touching who should
have been the honored delegates. or course
all wanted to send the men who could ac-
complish the most the men of the widest
acquaintance with the leading Republicans
of the state. and the men of the most cx-
perience,' for these things go for much in
large state convention. Some very much
desired that Mr.. sluss should name the men
whom he thought could succeed in such
battle best, as several county conventions
have done by their candidates throughout
the state. Others thought that committee
should nominate seven men, whom they
could agree upon as being the best equipped
for such contest. Still others thought that
the delegation should be selected from all
parts OF the county, without regard to their
political experience. Probably all were par
TALLY right. All were looking to the same
end. SO far as the Wichita Republicans are
concerned we are safe in saying that all they
desired was the strongest delegation possible
not caring whether they all come from one
township, or from one ward, or from every
section Of the county. The following named
gentlemen were elected at last without op-
position. whom we hope will successfully
hold sedgwick county, and her candidate TO
the front:
Thos. o. Hoss, George Litzenburg. q. W.
Walter, l.. n. Woodcoek, John Kelly, L. Il.
Allen and w. f. Stanley. Seven alternates
were also chosen, portion OF whom at least,
will 90 with the delegation to do all in their
power to force recognition of this portion
Of the state.
}. A. Nelson, of Salem, was permanent
chairman, and a. W. Oliver permanent Sec
rotary.

KANSAN AMONG THE BUCKEYES.

1--WE received a call Oh Tuesday from Il
former well known Cleyelander, Mr.. Edward
ConkIing. who, for the past ten years, has
resided in Kansas. Mr. Conkling gives some
interesting facts about Kansas and her pecu-
liar productions. He saws of the cowboy,
that he is vilainous in appearance. He is
attired in buckskin, has big boots, reaching
above his knees, with emblems Of stars and
the moon and big spurs attached, on which
are small bells. which jingle as he passes
along as if to warn people Of his presence.
she wears great SLOUGH hat, beneath
which shoot forth piercing eyes from dark,
swarthy countenance." His nature is very
treacherous, and yet, when sober, he is gen.
tlemanly and kind. OF the cattle industry
he says the animals are driven from Texas
up through the Indian Territory, the journey
lasting about four months. The country is
very wild yet. and the animals Craze all the
time while being driven to the shipping
point. The herds are of immense size, each
numbering on an average of about 1900
head. In charge of these are from twenty
to twenty-five cowboys, who have about one
hundred ponies, broken to the saddle. Al
though there has been wonderful influx Of
people during the past two years, fully one
third of fertile Kansas is still uncutivated.
Mr.. Conkling says: "When l left Kansas
the green corn waved high in the fields, and
vegetation was far advanced. / was rather
surprised at the disagreeable weather you
have been having here. Icaught a cold the
very first day was here.''
The Wichita EAGLE says that at least
twenty farmers have assured it within the
week of their prospects for wonderfully
heavy yield of wheat. One farmer said that
in thirty years he had never had such crop,
and that nothing short of 4 hail or other
storm could possibly injure it rs the grains
were already in the stiff dough. The EAGLE
names farmer who has three hundred
acres in eorn-much of which has been cul-
tiyated the second time, and the stand OF
which is uniformly good. 1t says: at
would be well for the banks TO get in their
extra currency, the mills to sharpen their
stones, the elevators to oil up the bearings,
for we are going to have big old wheat
racket within a few weeks

GRADUALLY COMING DOWN.

Let us see as to candidates in the Third
district In the first place, there is the Wich-
ita statesman with the dome OF thought and
match-like body, Henry Clay sluss; then we
have Judge Sammy Peters, Of Harvey; Hen
ry Booth, Of Pawnee; II. b. Kelly, of Me-
Pherson; W. +. Hackney, Of Cowley; DIR.
Woods. of sumner; Ii. c. Cross, of Lyon,
and the usual assortment of small fry from
other counties. We are glad to see that the
Third district fellows have let up on the pro-
ject TO secure all four of the new members.
They evidently concede one TO the Second
district, and fear we will gobble two. That
is healthy sign at all events. We again
caution the red-headed villain of the EAGLE
TO keep cool.-Pa0ta RepuJlieGn.
The territory lying west of Topeka, we
still maintain, is entitled, and fairly, to the
four congressman at large. The delegates
from said territory have the necessary num-
Der OF votes in caucus TO select, and in con-
vention TO nominate, the four. We had
hoped to arouse the people Of the west TO a
realization of that fact, but having failed
will have to submit TO the abuse OF the Re
publican and its horde OF scheming politi-

From the Sterling Gaz>tte.
WICHITA.

The editor of the gazette visited Wichita
yesterday. That town, like most others in
Western Kansas, is congratulating herself
that the immense crops now maturing will
presently begin to move, when activity will
take the place of the present quiet.
But Wichita is a nice town, and not little
Of her prosperity is due to the efforts of Marsh
Murdoch of the EAGLE whom we found read
ing proofs, discussing politics, picnics, etc,
after the usual fashion of the country editor.
The EAGLE, however, is 4 steady bird, and
is prospecting beyond the measure Of the ay-
eragc bird Of the prairie. We observed two
new presses: one a 81, $50 one, the other 4
Peerless, and a new engine, and other new
aud improved appliances for the work Of the
office.
At the EAGLE Office we met Mr. Stanley,
the attorney who has been so disturbing the
minds Of those judges, who. in violation of
the provisions Of the State constitution, as
pire to be congressman. Why is il that none
Of the friends OF these judges dare to join
issue with Stanley in discussing this question

town and her trees are well grown. There
are many pretty homes in the town, and the
success Of shrubbery, ETC., there should en-
courage all people in Western Kansas to give
more attention 10 these inexpensive adorn-

At the United States land office we found
Register Walker and Receiver Dyer enjoying
peace and harmony, and we have no doubt
they enjoy their salaries, too, as most officials
do.

THAT EDITORIAL JAUNT.

The Burlingame Herald quotes what the
EAGLE had TO say about the late editorial ex-
cursion, and then cites the fact, that the ed
itor of the EAGLE was one of the original
organizers of the association, and that he
was for years yice-president of the organi-
cation, winding up with the assertion that
the business manager of the EAGLE, IL. 7.
Murdoch, and one of the editors OF the Com
moatrealtk, 7. Il. Murdoch, both brothers,
participated in the excursion to the insane
asylum and penitentiary. We have mislaid
the clipping from the Herald and quote from
memory we answer from conviction 1t
Is true that we were one of the active organ
izers of the Kansas Editorial and Publishers
Association, the original object OF which
was legitimate and praiseworthy ends. The
l'srsoRei of the last two or three excursions
that we participated in consisted of more
other people than it did of editors, and one
or two was actually run by hangers on. and
the women who accompanied them. One or
two other proposed excursions fell through
simply because of the pressure of numbers
not editors nor publishers who desired 10 be
counted in. Two years ago we refused TO
help get up an excursion of editors to the
Pacific coast, simply because we were in
formed that it would probably include nifty
fellows who had no connection with the
press besides the state officers, their wives;
clerks, and clerks wives, and children. and
heaven only knows how many more. OF the
last excursion the Lawrence Jow'oak says,
only about two dozen representatives proper
of the press reached Topeka. AS 10 our
brothers We knew nothing Of their inten-
tions, besides neither of them represented
the,editor ofthe EAGLE or his opinions. There
might be some sense TO an excursion made
up exclusively of the men who DO the writ
ing for the press Of the state, and of profit TO
the patrons ofthe papers. The veteran editor
of the state, Sol. Miller, in his. last paper ex-
presses il well, only he don't ,as he should,
that a majority of the crowd have nothing
more TO do with the control Of the papers
they represeSt. than the man in the moon.
He SAYS
''These editorial excursions are usually
composed Of at least three-fourths of wood
eners. who run little patent outside cen
Germs. and LEI the other sides run themselves.
and who are always promptly on hand when
there is a chance for free ride, or 10 stuff
their CUTS without paying anything for it,"
We are sorry that our friend of the Herald
was one OF the party, but hope he had the
good sense TO desert it before the insane
asylum was reached.

A TERRIBLE CYCLONE.

The later dispatches of Monday and Tues
day show that after all Kansas and Missouri
suffered lightly in comparison with Central
Iowa. In Boone ana other counties the de-
struetion was fearful and over one hundred
men, women and children were killed out
right and hundreds crippled. The town of
Grinnell was almost totally destroyed and the
college at that point torn TO pieces. Houses
were crushed like egg shells, trains thrown
from tracks, and trees twisted out by the
roots. At Marshalltown and other points
the storm did some considerable damage.
Ogden, Iowa City and other places suffered
largely. The roar Of the storm was heard
from twelve to twenty miles and was accom-
panied by several funnel-shaped clouds. 1t
seems that cellars were the most secure places
of retreat, but in instances the very stones
