Thrcshing is about finished in this
town, and wheat will average about
Is or 16 bushels to the acre; we
heard of some fields going 20 to %,
but the most of the farmers got IA to
l8.
There is a good deal Of dissatisfac-
tion among farmers in relation to the
grading Of wheat, as very few of them
get No. hard; and.it is fact that
there never was so little No. l hard
in former years as this year, and far
mers are aware of the fact that
there never was better grade OF
wheat raised than this season, and
they very naturally find fault with
the wheat buyers for grading almost
all soft. or No. 2 hard.
Most of the farmers are through
blowing.
1t is fact, worthy of record that
our district school will begin next
Monday; H. J. Cutler, teacher.

POOrhOuse Affairs - Honor 60
Whom Honor Is Due,

james Coleman, Esq, has retired
from the Craftsmanship of the Board
Of PoOrhouse Commissioners, after
serving seven years and nine months.
In that time he has performed service
and made a record of which any man
might be proud. He was elected a
Commissioner in 1874 and in 1875, but
declined to serve. In 1876 he was
prevailed upon to accept the place up
on condition that thorough investiga.
tion be made Of the former workings Of
the institution. A committee was
appointed, and after three months
hard work found that great abuses
existed; that records were badly kept
and in some instances mutilated, and
that the poorhouse had cost the coun.
ty for the previous year fully $27 500,
and Justice Holman was Of the
opinion that the cost was nearer $780,
600, or more than half as much as
sometimes appropriated to the insane
asylum Of Tennessee. Esquire
Coleman at once reduced
everything to a business basis, and
kept all accounts and books as accu.
rately as bank, insurance Office or
any private business could be kept
There was no decrease in the number
Of paupers and insane, but really a
large increase, but expenses we're at
once reduced. The total cost Of
running the noorhouse was for

Vouchers have been kept for every

citizen who is interested. The poor.
house has been economically and
wisely managed. Esquire Coleman
has visited it regularly once week
during his entire erm,and feeling that
he had done enough for the county and
for humanity in that particular line Of
work, he positively declined to allow
his name to be used when the election
came off yesterday in the Quarterly
Court. The successors Of the old
board are worthy men, and will no
doubt continue the good management
SO we'll established. A grand reform
has been accomplished, and it should
be maintained. The sum Of $500
was appropriated yesterday to build a
house for the insane on the poorhouse
grounds. Justice Coleman services
will not be lost to the public entirely.
He is still a member of the County
Conrt, and will have more time to de-
vote to other matters that may require
attention.

CHICAGO HOG MARKET,
Death From Passion.
London Telegraph.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. W. j.

Court, borough, upon the body Of
Henry Stocker, aged iorty-fve, resid-
ing at 10 Willmotts Buildings, Long
Lane, Southwark who died on Monday
night last from the effects Of a it Of

deposed that on Sunday night last her
husband returned home about 10 D. m.
She was out at the time, and in conse-
qnence OF this their son, lad eleven
years Of age, refused to 20 indoors at
the deceased's bidding. The latter
was very passionate man and Of hasty
temper, and on seeing the boy run
away he exclaimed: God strike me
dead II | don't kill him when | catch
him" He ran after the boy, and met
witness while so doing. lie was
dreadfully excited, but she got him
back into the house and to bed. Soon
after he jumped up and said he felt as
though he would choke, and then be.
came insensible. A doctor was SEM
for, but death ensued on Monday
night Mr. NJ. Cook, surgeon, deposet
10 the great heart excitement which
he found, and which was followed By
an extreme breathlessness. Witness
was Of opinion that the deceased hat
a very violent fit Of passion, whicl
caused a rupture Of one the valves o
the heart, and so produced death. Thl
Coroner said II was an awful thing fol
any man 10 use such an imprecation a
the deceased had done, and II looket
as If his wish had been answered. ThI
Jury returned q verdict in accordanc,
with the medical evidence.

why All Is Not Lovely I'm the
Camp Of the Chicago German
Press.

CHICAGO, October 2.-Respecting
the controversy between the German
dailies in this city, the following is
understood to be correct statement
Of the facts; Richard Michealis, Of
the Freie Presse, made an onslaught
in the columns Of his paper against
August Spies, editor of the Arbiter
Zeitung, plainly charging him with
being thief and an accessory to a
manslaugkter. Spies had Michaelis
arrested for criminal libel, and on a
repetition Of this published charge
had Michaelis arrested the second
time. In the meantime the Stats
Zeitung took up the Cudgel for Spies,
and termed the attack Of Miohaelis
unwarranted. Michaelis Immediately
began what we're supposed to be retal>
iatory actions and entered suit against
A, Q. Hesing. Washington Hesing,
VIM. Rapp and Henry Raater, all Of
the Stats Zeitung and August Spies.
Of the Arbeiter Zeitung, for libel, but
when the case had been called for
trial, and yesterday for the second
time, and MichaeliS failing to appear,
suit was dismissed. The suit of Spies
sgainst Michaelis, after hearing all
evidence, resulted in the latter being
bound over to the Criminal Court for
action Of the grand jury.

Inc Courler-J ournars Washington
correspondent sent circular letter tc
all the Democratic members Of the
House about 4 month ago inquiring
their views in regard to several ques'
tiOns, but mainly as to their prefer
ence, il any, for Speakership, and thC
result is thus summed up:
There are 19l Democratic members
Of the next House. The Democratic
caucus will not consist of more than
100 members. From the South there
are l0l members, from the entire East
AZ, and from the North and West SO.
Friends Of Randall claim that after
Cox is out Of the way l5 out of 2l
members from New York will 20 to
Randall. This claim is exaggerated
but grant it. Now give him II votes
from his own State, and half of the
remaining nine votes from the East,
and be has thirty>one votes; give him
twenty-five votes from the South,
which is the largest number claimed
by his friends, and five more than he
will ever receive, and he has fifty six
votes. Out Of the fftysthree in the
West, the most sanguine friends of
Randall do not expect more than fl.
teen. This number, added to the
fifty six, would give Randall seventy
one votes. or twentysone votes less
than needed to give him the nomina.
ton, If there should be full caucus.
Now for Carlisle's chances. 1t is
predicted that be will receive the fol-
lowing vote on thesecOnd or third bal
lot from the States named: Alabama,
8; California, 3; Illinois, 8; Iowa, 2;
Louisiana, 3; Michigan, 2; Missouri, 8;
New York (Oox out), IL; North USto.
lima, 2; South Carolina, 4; Texas, 8;
West Virginia, 2; Arkansaw, 4; Geor.
gia, 8, Indiana, 8; Kentucky, 8; Mas.
sachusetts, 2; Mississippi, 5; Nevada,
|; New Jersey, |; Ohio, s; Tennessee,
D; Virginia, /; Wisconsin, TOtal,ll6.
Cox will receive more votes proba-
bly, on the first ballot than Mr.. Ran
dali. He will not get less than forty
five, and may rise to fifty. Springer
will receive seven or eight, and there
will perhaps be ten or twelve scatter
ing votes. The contest may narrow
down between Carlisle and Cox.
Much space is also taken up with
replies touching other questions.
There is an overwhelming preponder-
ance in favor Of tax reform, and, the
Courier Journal says editorially, over
one hundred expressions against Mr..
Randall. Such reports are necessarily
incomplete and one sided. The Cou-
rier- Journal bases its persistent oppo-
sitiOn to Mr.. Randall upon the de.
clared belief that his election will
be the throwing away Of the
Presidential election, and perhaps the
speedy dissolution Of the Democratic
party" In other words certain Dem
ocrats propose to flock of to them
selves if they cannot have their own
way. There may be valid objections
to the election of Mr.. Randall, but
this strikes. US as the weakest aud
lishtest that could be imagined. A
party that would dissolve on such an
issue ought to 80, for it can have no
higher aim than to secure Office for
the sake Of Office. Mr.Carlisle would
be good man for the place, but no
true Democrat proposes to fly the track
If Mr.. Carlisle is not elected.
