ever been removed from place on ac-
count of not paying his assessment, it is
sufficient that the character of the cir
cular issued is an implied threat, that
such displacement is within the range
of the possibilities. Through long prac-
tlce by both parties, for both are equal
ly guilty, the matter seems to have been
reduced to regular system with GER
tain basis or percentage of salary as
starting point. In the present instance
1t IS two per cent, and this sum all gov
eminent employees are asked to pay over
into the hands of the congressional COM
mittees. In other words this much is
claimed to be due the party which fur
nishes the Office to the office holder Yet
the Milwaukee ,,Republican-Sentinel, in
discussing the question, rightly says. if
each government employee owes two per
cent. of his salary to the party then that
salary is two per cent. too high. Again,
this system is likely TO beget in the
minds of the officials not desire to see
that their official duties are performed
correctly but rather to look sharp after
the payment of their assessments, and
trdst to a promptness IN this quarter to
tide over any little Irregularities in the
other. Having paid for their position
there will arise a feeling that it is theirs
by right of such payment. In this way
the system begets corrupt service and
tends to decentralization.
That every citizen of the Republic has
perfect and inalienable right to con-
tribute to the support of his party vol
unfairly is an axiom which admits of no
discussion. Nay, further, every member
of a party is morally bound to support
the party with which he is acting by a
contribution or otherwise and to any eX-
tent that he may see fit. 1t is thus not
only right but duty, and had Mr..
Hubbell, instead of combining his circu-
lars exclusively to government employees
distributed them generally to the MEM
bers of the party, no fault could have
been found with such action and the re-
ponse would have been much better
than it will in the present instance.
Because person S for the time being
in the employ of the government serves
as no reason why he should be tried by
any committee, congressional or other
wise and judgment found against him
for two per cent. of his salary. Every
employe has the same right as any 9th
or citizen to voluntarily contribute as
he sees fit to the promulgations of the
party doctrine, but the theory that the
party has lien on certain portion, or
any portion of his salary, is pernicous
in itself, and calculated to exert a de-
basng influence on the party organiza-
ton, and the sooner it is done away
with the sooner a cankerous sore will
be eliminated

at Osceola, Monday night last. Mr.: j K.

and went up to Lilley's Island, in the
"Mayhower," pleasure yacht used by the
young aristocracy of Osceola. While they

pale light over hill and dale, they were
holding sweet converse with their fair ones
when, without any warning, the yacht was
upset, precipitating the quartette into the

was not deep and the gents succeeded in

Death of Mrs. Susan A. Yeater.

Mrs. Susan A. Yeater, wife of Mr.. Geo.
l.. 1eater, died this afternoon Of congestion
OF the stomach after an illness of only four
days. Mr.. Ieater returned from Lexing-
ton last Saturday and found his wife sick
in bed. She declined to have physician,
saying that she was only suffering from
the effects of cold contracted by sleeping
near an open window and would he all
right i'm few days. She continued 20
grow worse, however, and ON Sunday
night, Mr.. Yeater becoming seriously
alarmed, summoned DIR. Trader, who,
upon his arrival at the house, found Mrs.
Yeater i'm a most critical condition. The
doctor applied every remedy that his med
ical skill could suggest and remained a
constant watcher ut the bedside of the
sick woman, but she had passed
beyond human aid, and continued to sink
rapidly. This morning, however, she
seemed to rally little, and Mr.. Yeater en-
tertained a slight hope of her recovery,
but this hope was not entertained by the
physician, whose experienced eye told him
that the end was near.
Deceased was born in Palmyra, Marion
county, and has been the wife of Mr..
Yeater almost twenty-six years. She leaves
six children, all girls, to mourn the loss of
a mothers tender love and care.
The remains will be taken to Windsor
tomorrow for interment beside the mother
of deceased. The bereaved husband and
family have the sympathy of a large circle
of friends and acquaintance in this their
great sorrow.

Delegate Wade, of Bates county, said he
did not desire to be hosgish i'm this matter

ty delegates were at home, and could al
tend the convention with little expense, as
when they got out of something TO eat
could send to their more favored neighbors
and get supply of cold provision TO sat
isfy the demands of their appetite. He
did not want the delegates from Cass and
Henry county to think that the Bates
men were endeavoring to "freeze out"
the other delegations and thereby capture
the coveted prize. The speaker claimed
that no unfairness had been rrsorted TO I'm

vention, as the committeeman in the other
counties had selected the place. 1t had
been suggested that the matter be referred
back to the people to he decided at the

speaker said, would result favorably TO the
Bates candidate, as she had larger vote
than any other one county.

Wis, of Henry, moved that the convention
adjourn to meet tomorrow morning at s

that was too early and named 9 o'clock.

STANLEY SHOT.
The Marshal Of Butler Inhicts
Two Wounds on the Per-
son of a Lawyer.
Arrest of the OMcial, Although
the Shooting Was Done in
Self-Defense.

About o'clock last night the town OF
Butler, the county seat OF Bates county,
was thrown into a Juror Of excitement.
Four pistol shots were fired In quick sue
cession on the south side Of the public
square and the people started TO their feet
with one accord, and peered through the
rich foliage which surrounds the court
house. in hopes that they might discover
the cause OF, or the parties, in the shooting
match.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
a BAZoo representative was on the
ground I'm a few moments, and learned
about as follows: Jno. l.. Stanley is a
lawyer, and is addicted very largely To
strong drink. In the morning he had been
on the street i'm half-drunken condition,
qnarreling and threatening anybody and
everybody which his diseased mind
would direct him To. Marshal Morgan ar
rested him and locked him mp in the city
Jail. Later in the day some Of his friends,
who are reputable and well-to-do people,
bailed him out. No sooner was he on the
street than he procured revolver and
fired il several times at nothing-only 10
brighten people.
MEETS MORGAN.
Stanley had told some Of his boon COM
panions that he had not been treated right
by Morgan and he intended To revenge
himself. Morgan was told of the threats
and went prepared to meet him. They
met on the south side Of the square. as
said above. As soon as Stanley was i'm
hearing distance Of the officer he called to
Stanley and said:
Don't yon raise that pistol" which
Stanley held i'm his hand, the muzzle point
ing downward.
As soon as Stanley heard this he raised
his pistol and fired at the officer, while the
officer also fired. Which shot first is in
dispute aad two more shots were fired, one
by ach.
THE RESULT.
Stanley fell to the sidewalk, helpless,
having received two wounds, neither OF
which are considered at all dangerous.
He was taken to his residence in the east
ern part of the place and DIR. Stewart ex-
amined his injuries. At late hour last
night he was still drunk and hard to man.

He Secured a Good Wife.

"a sensation was recently caused" says
the Troy Times, "by the announcement
that Vermont girl had gone to California
in response to a matrimonial advertise
ment, and had found her prospective hus-
band living in a secluded gorge. The
hermit now turns out to be Frederick
Monlton Shaw, of Los. Angeles, who was
born in Rutland and educated in Castle

He went to California and pro-
iected sensation at Los An
CLOS on rye scale. With water works,
manufactures and steamship lines. He
secured the cooperation and lost the money
of the leading men of the place. Shaw
then retired to small ranch, where he
lived in semi-civiilzed state, often sleep
ing in trees. To the surprise of all, the
young lady who correspOnded with him
married him on reaching California, and,
the couple still living semi-nOmadic life,
the wife has gained an influence over her

An Ohio Romance.

Two or three years ago a Mr.. Farney
took charge of the high school i'm Buena
Vista, .. One of his pupils was Miss
Woolftan, and almost instantly teacher
and pupil fell in love and became engaged
Old Mr.. Woolfian refused to consent
to. their union. Farney resigned
the school, ont before he left town he called,
with the Woolftan consent, for the last in.
terview with the beautiful brunette. At his
request she sang the sadful song of Burns,
"Hed We never loved sac Kindly, had We
never loved sac blindly," they wouldn't
have come to grief. Then Mr.. Farney
went away i'm the darkness and tears, and
three DAYS afterwards his body was found
i'm the Ohio river, six miles above Cincin-
natl, and buried. The girl was incon-
solable, of course, but last June she mar
ried q gentleman who consented to take
her with the perfect understanding that
she did not, could, and should not love
him. In December the husband was killed
in railroad accident on the Cincinnati
Southern, near Lexington. The widow
withdrew entirely from society, but in
March a gentleman presented himself for
acceptance, and i'm a twinkling was accept
ed. Ii was Mr.. Farney, who was not dead
and never had been, the man drowned above
Cincinnati being another party altogether,
whose identity will never be known; and
when the June roses blossomed the wedding
bells of Buena Vista broke into joyous peals
once more i'm behalf of the WOolftan girl.
