threatened TO shoot the girl. She was so
frightened that she swooned, and the
fend tore her clothes but failed TO accom-
plish his purpose. On her re-
covery from her faint she ran into
the house and the brute so frightened
her by further threats Of shooting if she
came out, that she kept herself hidden,
not daring to peep out even, until the
hired man returned from his days work,
and found her in a horrible condition.
She notified others, and a band of indig.
nant citizens started out on the hunt for
the wretch, but he had got too good a
start, and evaded them. The greatest
indignation is naturally felt in the com
munity, and threats Of swift and sure
hanging as the penalty for the brute are
freely expressed. The girl describes him
as being a tall, Slender man, light com
p%lexion, wearing dark pants torn about
the knee, and a light checkered coat; one
shoe was buckled and the other laced. 1t
is to be hoped that he may be brought in
yet and made to answer for the crime.

to he Cared For.

Yesterday friends of Mr.. A. A. Max
well, .ofi Oakland, brought him to this
city, and the insane commissioners passed
upon his case. Mr.. Maxwell has been
in the agricultural machinery business at
Oakland for some time, and has handled
many goods for Council Bluffs houses,
and has held the respect and confidence
of all. Lately he has been quite de-
spondent, so much so as to make it APP
parent that his mental powers were af-
fected. He has had of late an idea that
he had lived long enough and he sought,
a day or two ago, to prove the sincerity
of this belief by shooting himself. For
tunately the ball did not make a very
dangerous wound, though it lodged in the
breast, and has not yet been taken out.
He will now be placed under treatment
at the asylum, and it is hoped that he
may o be restored to reason.

Our New Loan and Improvement Co

Investigation into the matter convinces
us that one of the most equitable, reason
able and feasible plans of building houses
is that proposed and in operation by the
Mercantile Loan, Trust and Improve
ment company of this city. BY invest
ing in shares in this institution, which is
backed by some of our best and most re-
liable business men, it becomes possible
and comparatively easy for a man of
moderate means to secure a comfortable
home for himself and family. In taking
a certain number of shares, at a certain
monthly payment, in a few years a man
can own a house of his own for about the
same as he pays monthly for rent. We
believe the Mercantile Loan and Trust
company, by organizing and opening up
for business, have filled a long felt
want in Council Bluffs. Their plans and
system of loans will bear the most care.
full scrutiny and examination, and we
have no hesitancy in %pronouncing them
reasonable and equitable, and backed by
gentlemen of honor and integrity. As
the company exists it becomes at once AZ
institution of value and credit t. our city

ident is T. A. Kirkland; vice president

Polk. VINCENT. nnd GnItcnn.

Our morning contemporary says ait is as
illogical, mean, and indecent to cite POLK and
VINCENT as representative democrats as it
would be for democrats to refer to the late O.
'GUITEAU as a representative stalwart" We
never observed any delicacy on tho part of
our journalistic neighbor or any of his demo-
cratic fellows in illogically, meanly, and in
decently referring to GUITEAU as a repre-
sentative stalwart, although they knew that
he was rabid supporter of RoDERTsoN for
the New York collectorship, as was proven
| by letter of his to President Gi1i-
FIELD, furnished TO the press by one
OF the executive secretaries and published
on the day ofthc act of assassination. GUITEAU
was in ecstasics over tho nomination of
ROBERTSON, and thereby proved himself as re-
liable an anti-stalwarta rs Mr.. BLAINE himself.
AS for his subsequent prctcncc to be "a stalwart
OF the stalwarts," it was entitled to no more
! weight than was his other statement that his
crime was directed by the Almighty. Indeed,
the inference most naturally to bo drawn
from his words were that ho desired to bring
odiuin upon the men then known as stalwarts,
/
disturbing and destructive consequences. In
this diabolical purpose he had the aid of all
who falsely profcssed to believe in his spoken
words, MS against his written advocacy of the
administration policy in New York.
Men who arc chosen TO high state Offices
and especially when, as in VINcENr's case
they are chosen three times, are certainly
representative men of their party. 1t is as
puerile and absurd to deny this as it is to at
tempt to liken GUITEAu's political status to
that Of men so recognized and honorcd. There
is no prctencc that the democratic party in.
dorscs the crimes of the two state treasures
referred to, but it is well enough to point Out
its bad luck in choosing men, and it is also
but fair to remind democratic editors that
they have never deviated from the policy Of
charging the republican party with every de-
never credited it with any good whatever.
If the dishonesty of Polk and VINCENT
should be treated by republicans as usual and
accepted democratic practice, it would be
simply following the rules of criticism laid
down by democratic partisans. For our own
part we believe that these representative
democrats are condemned by many of thcii
party, and that the failure of the democratic
editors to cry out against them as loudly as
they would if they were "carpct-baggers OF
"scalawags" is due only to a fear that it may
| hurt their party,

Is better that thief should sometimes es-

for the pursued TO show the pursucr his in
