WANTS TO DIE.

G. Peters is a resident of Rockford
and he has a niece in this city named
Josephine Peterson, who is a daughter of
Eric Peterson living at No. $50 Ninth street
The Rockford relatives lately received a
letter from his niece, in which she stated
that life was burden to her and she did
not care to prolong her earthly existence
beyond the present time. She intimated
that she had in her possession some
poison which would enable her to reach
the other world with neatness and dis
patch. The Rockford man Immediately
wrote to the city marshall, and that official
made an investigation yesterday. He dis
covered that the dispondent damsel has
been employed as domestic and while so
engaged was taken with typhoid fever
which resulted in undermining her health,
SO that she became very much discouraged.
While in such state of mind she COM
posed the letter, but since sending the
epistle, she has commenced to improve,
and has concluded that life has many joys
in store for her, and she will accordingly
remain on the terrestrial globe as long as
she is permitted so to do.

A BOLT.

The Carthage Gazette, the leading repub-
support Col. Marsh, the party nominee for
congress. and there promises to be lively
times in the republican camp from now
until the election. The paper in refusing
to support the machine nominee voices the
opinions of large number of people in
Hancock county who have had Col. Marsh
forced on them against their will. Col.
Marsh is from Hancock county, but his
own county convention selected delegates
who were favorable to Maj. McClaughry.
The few Marsh men in that county went
through the form of naming delegates to
the co congressional convention, and when
gates being in the ma ority compromised the
Hancock county trouble by allowing the
delegation to be divided. The McClaughry
men refused to accept such an arrange
ment, and left the convention in disgust.
On this failure of the convention to do
justice to the delegates from Hancock
county, the Carthage Gazette bolts the
nomination, and similar bolt has oc-
CURED in Warren county under the name
of prohibition party. The Editor of the
Go2ette writes an open letter to the Bush
nell Record, in which he reviews, at some
length, the county convention in Hancock,
and the delegates therein appointed. He
shows how poor claim the Marsh dele
gates had for recognition. and also proves
Col Marsh as responsible for the split.
The letter was written in answer to some
criticisms which the Record felt called upon
to make on account of the Gazette's previ-
Gus declaration concerning Col. Marsh
candidacy. The concluding paragraph of
the letter is to the point and is as follows;
In your article you say that the obliga-
ton rests upon republican papers to sup
port the nominee-ssUnlesst they knew of
some reason preventing them from sup
porting him without loss of self-respect, OF
sacrifice of conscience; we can recognize
and admit the possibility of regularly
nominated candidate being SO obnoxious
that no obligation to vote for him can rest
upon any man who has particle of manli
ness or independence; the right to bolt, il
you please, is inherent in political manhood
as last resort" These sentiments Oh
yours we indorse, and deeming that B
r. Marsh as candidate, if nominated, will
be SO obnoxious to us for the reason We
have given above, that no obligation te
vote for him can rest upon us, that we
cannot vote for him without loss of self
respect and sacrifice of conscience thai
our sense of manliness and independence
forbids our so voting, we assume thu
right to bolt

SHIPPING RIFLES.

The following rules have been received
by the local freight offices of the c., nj. &
ST. P. and are issued to avoid the confu-
sion, loss and delay occasioned by careless
ness on the part of both shippers and con
signees:
General rules require that all property
offered for transportation shall be distinctly
marked with the owners or consignee' s
name and address. and there is no good
reason why they should not be enforced in
the case of all package freight except per-
haps flour in barrels whose brands or trade
marks enable it to be readily checked. The
rule is especially important in shipments
of butter, eggs or cheese, and the agent
will decline to receive and forward except
in car lots to one consignee unless each
package is plainly marked with the name
of the censignee and destination, or some
distinguishing mark to plainly indicate the
same. Such packages must show the mi
tials or some mark to indicate the shipper
as well. If no other is adopted by the
shipper you will mark on the peckage the
number of your station. Such number, or
the shippers mark adopted by him, viii
be shown in the eonsignor's col
umn of your way bin in connection
with his name. If shippers or consignors,
TO protect their interests. wish To indicate
the consignee by initial or mark only on
the property, such mark. tag or card must
in every instance show distinction, whether
going to a local or terminal station on
this road or point beyond. These rules
are are imperative and made absolutely
necessary for the proper Identification of
consignments at destination or transfer
points. The propriety of the requirement
is not matter left the discretion of
shippers or agents, and receiving stations
are directed TO report any omission or
neglect in this respect Shipping or dray
tickets, bills of lading or receipts. as well
as ay-bills must show all the marks above
indicated. Agents are required to call the
attention of shippers to the above and
obtain compliance Herewith. The in
structions, however, will apply for ship
ments of egg cases, filled or empty. Old
marks or brands must be thoroughly erased
before receiving or shipping any package
freight.

the faithful performance of his con
tract. This, however, he refused to do,
and the street and alley committee was
obliged to advertise for new bids. Some
of the members claimed that the failure of
the lowest bidder to qualify, the second
lowest should be taken, but this opinion
was not entertained by the majority, and
hence the second advertisement. The
members of that committee will meet to-
morrow night when the new bids viii be
opened, and the vexed question decided.
The work on the sewer will not be COM
menced for some time, but it is thought
that the sewer can be completed during the

is somewhat delayed.

SUN STROKES.

Tine recent fatal case of sun stroke in
this city renders pertinent the following
concerning that trouble:
Sunstroke begins with pain in the
head. or dizziness. quickly followed by loss
of consciousness and complete prostration.
Sometimes however, the attack is as sud
den as a stroke of apoplexy. The head is
often burning hot, the face dark and
swollen, and breathing labored and snor-
ing, and the extremities cold. With such
cases proceed as follows: Take the patient
at once to cool and shady place, but don t
carry him far TO house or hospital.
Loosen the clothes thoroughly about the
neck and waist. Lay him down with the
head little raised. Apply wet clothes to
the head and mustard or turpentine to the
calves of the legs and soles of the feet Give
little weak whiskey and water if he can
swollow. Meantime let some one go for
physician.

Marshal Miller is the possessor of a horse
and buggy which have been purchased by
the city for the use of the police depart
ment. The horse is not much for beauty,
nor is it noted on account of the rapidity
with which it can cover ground. But the
animal has sand" and can keep up its trot
for an indefinite time when it scents a burg
lar or criminal This one Characteristic
renders the horse well adapted for its new
service The vehicle is light two seated
