Presidential Talk.

w. P. Hoadly, who lived long in the
south, has been interviewing southern
democrats. He says: Carlisle steps to
the front with formal presentation Of
his name by Kentucky, and he receives
favorable consideration by many who
never seriously considered it before. It
is claimed for him that while southern
man he was loyalist, his record good
and having been made speaker of the
house on the revenue reform platform,
he is already by circumstances the leader
Of the regenerated democracy and will
stand the ordeal Of a popular election as
well, if not better, than anybody else of
his way of thinking.
MORRISON.
Morrison's candidacy is urged on some
what similar grounds with the difference
in his favor that he has the record not
only of loyal man but of a Union SOL
dier, and the drawback that he has made
more enemies than Carlisle in the recent
struggle, besides having lot of old re-
sentiments to warm over.
MCDONALD.
Mcdonald is still talked of, but it is
considered that while not an improbable
nominee his candidacy really belonged
to the undeveloped stage of the free
trade movement, and that Watterson
himseli-l,is political godfather in this
campaign-has thrown him over to make
room for Carlisle.
Beneath these tendencies there is a
strong undercurrent, not without guild
ance by the way, in favor of the revival
of the almost forgotten claims Of Bayard
There never was presidential campaign
since the present Bayard became figure
in national politics where he was moi

ton, and to many it has seemed that II

could compare with him in the power tt

Ex-congressman and ex-mayor Smitl

The Close of School.

The annual picnic of the public schools
was held last Friday on Concordia Island
and the occasion was one long to be
remembered by all the participants, both
old and young. Keeping step to the
soul.stirring music of the Philharmonic
band nearly one. thousand children in
charge of the principal and teachers,
marched at o'clock to the island and in
its beautiful shades and retreats the bal
ance of the afternoon was spent. A
splendid repast provided for the satisfy
ings of little and big was spread and
we'll patronized. Many who could not
count themselves in under the school
category found a glad welcome and am.
pie means were laid before them to
appease their appetites with both sub
stantials and delicacies. The school
management is certainly to be congratu-
lated over the great success that crowned
their efforts at the picnic of 1884.

A ROUGH RECEPTIoN.--Geo.W eissert,
of Minneapolis, is making visit at the
home of his parents in the First ward.
George had rather rough experience
upon his arrival. He came in on the
o'clock train Saturday morning,s short
time after the burglaries had been COM
mitted, and sat down at the depot for a
rest before proceeding to his home.
While in this restful mood the officers in
quest of the burglars dit" down upon all
about the depot, and George among
others was ordered to throw ur his hands
and give himself up to the enforcers of
the law. George obeyed orders like a
dutiful citizen although considerably in.
censed at such reception on a visit to
his home. 1t soon dawned upon the
over-zealous officers that they were a
long distance out of their way in suspect
ing George and he was given the freedom
that naturally belonged to him and which
he could not legally be deprived of. The
lesson of this experience should not be
lost on our officers

were next visited. Mrs. Alder saws she
was awakened from her sleep by noise
and her attention called to the form of a
man in the doorway of her bedroom up
stairs. She screamed loudly and sprang
from her bed just at the time the burglar
reached out for Mr.. Alder's coat which
was hanging up and he fastened to the
stairs where Mrs. A. caught him by the
arm. At this juncture the burglar fired
a shot from a revolver. The ball entered

full flesh wound which ,has since confined
her to her bed. The burglar then made
lively retreat down stairs and Mr.. A..
who had meanwhile been aroused, was
close at his heels, but the fellow made a
safe exit from the premises taking the
coat and vest with him. In this haul
$1,000 in money was obtained. The pock-
cts of the garments contained two 1000
mile railway tickets and some papers.
These as well as the coat and vest were
all subsequently, found about tie premises.
Taken altogether these burglaries were
about the most daring ever perpetrated
in our city and if the officers have appre-
hended the guilty parties they we'll de-
serve the thanks of the community.

watch Stylow arrested George and Frank
Fie, brothers, and residents of the First
ward, on suspicion OF being the perpre.
traitors of the burglaries at the residences
of G. Feurman and G. Alder Saturday
morning. The two prisoners were taken
before Justice Halliger and the three,
with the officers in charge, repaired
to the home of Mr.. Alder to take the
testimony of Mrs. Alder who was
confined to her bed suffering from her
wounded arm. George File was first
taken into her presence. but she could
not say positively that he was the person
she saw in her room the night of the
robbery although she claimed he looked
like him. Frank, the other brother was
next taken to her and she at once identified
him as the man who shot at her. There
being this evidence Justice Halliger
committed the prisoners 10 Jail to await
an examination on July 10. The bail fol
each of the brothers twas placed at $500
but they were unable to procure it.
They were taken to Jefferson Jail by the

when the Board of Education thought of
building good school house, Number
Three), there was a general uprising
among the citizens Directing. 1t would
appear that like uprising at the present
time in opposition to the building of an
Engine House and City Hall to cost
nearly 81, 900 would be in order by the
taxpayers of the city. An engine house
to cost $500 is good enough, and our
present City Hall, at rental of 800 per
year, will suffice for number of years to
come. Set the ball in motion.

Quite commotion all around has been
occasloned by charges signed by the
prisoners Of the Jefferson Jail and sent to
the Governor last week for his action.
alleging that Sheriff Cunningham was
addicted to drunkenness, furnished Door
food, treated the prisoners with cruelty
and abuse: and forced them to labor for
his benefit. Being a matter for the
board of charities and reform to adjust
it was placed before them and last
Thursday and Friday the board spent at
Jefferson without any one being notified
of their projected visit. The result of a
thorough investigation showed them
that the Jail was better managed than
the average jails in the state and all the
charges against the sheriff were proven
false. The board, however, recommended
the building of an addition for women to
the Jail. The notorious Maggie O'Con-
nell was found to be at the bottom of the
whole trouble. In her work of trumping
up charges against Sheriff Cunningham
and the Jail she was assisted by her "pal, .
John Bradley, who went up from this
city for stealing from this same Maggie
OConnell. But Maggie has forgiven
John for his misdemeanor towards
her, and very strong attachmenthaving
sprung up between them, they are now
