SOME gentleman who is handy with
figures has ascertained that it takes
7OO bullets, on an average, all Of
which have been carefully inserted in
the engines of death, to kill man in
English warfare, while in Germany,
on account of the superior marksman-
ship Of the Teutons, probably, every
$50 bullets sent whizzing into the
camp of the enemy picks off man.
1t is notorious, however, that in this
country whoever points an unloaded
weapon at another always kills at the
first fire. This remarkable difference
between loaded and unloaded weap-
oEs merits far more serious attention
than it has received. There is indeed
something positively weird about the
unerring deadliness of the unloaded
weapon, and careful observation
might demonstrate that the surest
way to exterminate an enemy in war
would be to prohibit the loading of
all rifles before going into action.
McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-05-01

enforce such law, are the only things
likely to satisfy the public sentiment
that is now demanding that these fenc.
ed-in lands shall be thrown open to the
actual settler. The people are deter
mined to see whether the present Con-
gress will have backbone enough to re-
spond to their demand.
The citizens of Washington have long
enjoyed the credit of being public
spirited community, and they are so
long as Congress foots the bills for ev-
cry last enterprise that is undertaken
here. If, however, the people want
something that Congress has no right
to provide, such as skating rink, or an
armory, or baseball park, they get up
a gfab-bag fair or something of that
sort, and by hook or crook they have
managed to get all of these things. To
these will shortly be added an opera
house which is to be built by military
company, but never a word has been
mentioned about the establishment of
a public library, or any other public
enterprise that would conduce to the
mental improvement of it's more than
2OO,0 900 population. And you may
safely predict that if this great city, the
capital Of this great country, this boast
ed imitation OF Paris, ever does get a
library it will be when Congress fur
nishes it. DON PEDRO.

Almost a Patricide.

What might have proved a fearful
tragedy occurred in the not always
most peaceful vicinity of this place,
early Friday morning, at the residence
of David Walabach, who lives some
two miles east of the mill and post
Office. The particulars. as near as
they can be CLEANED from the parties
interested are, that early Friday morn
ing, Roy Walabach, boy of twelve
years of age, having by some means
procured revolver that belonged to
his father, who at the time was laying
in bed asleep, deliberately fired at his
head, the ball striking near his right
temple, ranging across the forehead,
making slight flesh wound, from
which the blood flowed quite freely.
Without awaiting the result, the boy
dropped the revolver and hurriedly
took one of his fathers horses and
struck out, but only went some two
miles from the house into a draw,
where he was found the next day by
some member Of the family and per-
suaded to 60 home, where he now re-
mains chained to the floor with big
log chain by his inhuman father. TIE
boy at first denied the act. but SUBJ
sequently acknowledged it, and upon
being questioned by neighbor as to
the motive, replied that he could not
help it-he had used him so badly.
Upon inquiry, it appears that there
has been considerable difficulty in the
family from their first settlement in
the neighborhood, owing to the quick
and ungovernable temper of the faith
er, who has family of six or seven
children, and who most of the time
has been perfect terror to his whole
family, SO much so that at one time
the mother, with her three youngest
children, left him and proceeded to-
ward her former home in Nebraska,
but at the end of the first days jour
ney the deep anguish and strong love
that true mother has for her child
rem overcame her, and she retraced
her steps, resolved that their lot
should be hers, that she would en-
dure all, yea, death only would sep
crate her and her children.
A deep feeling of indignation is
expressed by many Of. the citizens
against this father who thus drove the
boy of SO tender an age to attempt
such deed, and sympathy is every
where expressed for his sorrowing
mother and her children, two or three
of whom have ran away from home
within the past two or three years.

| disagree with him may do him no
injustice.
Of course, he does not expect to be
elected. But he does expect, probably,
one of two things-tO force the demo-
cratic party to take him as its candi-
date four years hence or build up a
new party with himself as the central
figure.
What will be the result of Buffers
candidacy He may, and probably
will, receive some of the votes that
might he cast for Blaine on account of
his supposed sympathy with the Irish.
In addition to receiving the vote OF
| the parties he represents, he will prob
ably draw from the two great parties,
though principally from the democratic.
He is likely to have the support of the
New York Sun and Tammany-if this
organization is not pacitied in some
manner-and his candidacy seriously
complexities the situation. 1t will not
do to underrate Buffers strength among
the workingmen and in the west, and
at the present outlook it will not be
safe 10 predict the outcome of the elec-
ton until after the votes are counted.
