IsrER of Saturday. 10 was made to appear
that he was served with q warrant on .
charge Of threatening to tear down q mans
property without any explanation. Yes
terday the writer had talk with Mr..
Campbell in relation 70 this matter, and he
told the following:
Mr.. Bowers has now lease on the H1se-
men livery stable at the head OF Water
street. This stable, which Includes stable
owned by Capt. Booth, is on city property,
being really the extension OF Water street.
The city gave Mr.. Huseman five years
lease Of this ground at S. year, which 1t
had really no right TO DO. This lease eH.
pired On the 9th day Of April last, aud
Mr.. Huseman Was only notified some time
in March. Mr.. Bowers says he was never
told when he leased the stable that 1t was
partly on city ground.
Water street runs north to the Hawley
property, and Mr.. Hawley demanded that
Il should be opened up, which he had q
the Board Of Public Works proposed to
open up this street Mr.. Bowers secured
Capt. Doyener. as his attorney and the
latter hustled into the Office Of the Board.
where, meeting Mr.. Campbell he demand
ed: Are you going 70 tear down this
stable?" The Board had taken legal ad-
vice and Mr.. Campbell, speaking for the
Board and not in his private capacity,

II will be year before the simmering OF
the political csuldron will be heard with
any degree of distinction, but the forelock
of time is already being gripped by several
of the knowing. The latest political Cos
sip that has reached my ears is that
Capt Tom Bennett will be trotted
ont by the Republicans as their
candidate for sheriff. 1t is said Benefits
term and half in the public service has
not robbed him of q private citizens MOI
esty, and that mOdesty tends to prevent
his coming out. Tom is very popular, is
not bullheaded and stands well with his
party. On the other side OF the fence
stands the form surmounted by the smiling
face of Recorder Hook. 1t is believed by
many Jeffersonians, that George is the
strongest man in the Democratic ranks and
could lift the boots from any man who
would enter with him for the shrievalty
swet pstakes. His private intentions / do
not know, but have once or twice heard it
remarked what a pretty race he and Sam
MCCOlloCh would make for the latters
present position.

Frank Iioge with th> two Jduag Hird-
estys as assistants, is at woiS on the State
boundary. He is making a preliminary
survey of the meridian line which divides
the Pan Handle and Pennsylva ia. When
the actual work begins, it will not require
above six weeks to complete it. Eight

\ young lady wants to know whether
she can marry a man whom she now dis
likes to kiss. She explains that she is en-
gaged 10 him and he rather seems TO like
the kissing himself. He is so persistent
and industrious in this part OF his love
making that she has lost her patience and
seeks advice.
The circumstances are quite peculiar. 1t
is very difficult to undertake TO advise
Young weman VINO dUesu't like kissing,

Ii this young woman does not like kiss

il before they sre married. She certainly
has no right to marry him under the cir.
