We noticed in your issue of yesterday com

didate for Congress in the Fifth district We
are not acquainted with Mr. Sweeny, and there

dacy But many of the Republicans of the old
reliable county of Hendricks would like to rally
under the leadership of Joseph l. Irwin, of Co
lumbus. We know Mr.. Irwin to be an honorable
man, with great ability-one that would com
mand the support of all classes, and if he could

The fact that the recent robbery of $1,000
worth OF diamonds from the residence of Honp
G. G. b. Walker, in Corning. during his absence
was committed with the greatest ease, becaus 81
the safe in which the iewelry was kept was moi
locked, has given rise to much surprise and uni
favorable comment. No one could understanN
how man Of the congr essnans strict businesH
methods could be so careless in regard to Ghthl
protection of his household treasures, especial VI
as many of them, through association and lon9
family possession, had. "a value to him much bets
yond their intrinsic worth. When queStione(e;
on the subject by friend the latter was still
further surprised to be told by Mr. Walker
that the fact of the safe being left open notP
the result OF careessness or thoughtlesSness, butt
was lett open by his express order and direction L
"When [ am home" said the ex-congressman
i always lock the safe and put the key away.
When go away from home it is understood I'M

You Will remember that when the WellsborO,
bank was robbed few years ago, the cashier
and members of his family were treated withl
great cruelty and violence by the robbers beIi
cause of their resisting demands for the keys tol
the vaults and the safe. That set me to think I
ing, and one day said to my wife, We haveq
some things in that safe which are valuable anda
very dear to us. Now, it is only question of
time when some ruffian or ruffans wilf
come after them. If I am home, the chances
are thar they will not get them, but | may BET

that safe locked they will hesitate at no per /
sonal violence toward You in their efforts to eff
feet an entrance to it, All the precious relics

Destroying Weeds.

Germantown Telegraph.
1t should be borne in mind by every tiller of
the soil that no farm or garden can be kept clear
of weeds unless they are attacked early when
they are small tender and easily extirpated
Let them get full start ON US, and they will
not only absorb double share of manurial
nourishment, but will resist the hoe or the cul-
tivator stubborny, and not always come off
second best 1t is well known to eve-y expe-
rienced cultivator that when roots once become
firmly established, not even the hoe or plow
will always remove them firmly; but when they
are attacked early and soon as they make
their appearance, they are easily kept down
But sometimes the hurry of work will
oblige one to defer the wedding process for
a little while; meantime prolonged rain sets in,
which proves a godsend to the weeds, so that
they make such strides to run their course and
mature their seeds as to require two or three
times the labor to dislodge them We may har
row and cross harrow in efforts to get rid of
them, and still enough is left behind to restore
their number and mature their seeds for the en-
suing year, unless, indeed we apply the slow
process of the hoe, and then not be able to ex-
tirpate them wholly. But when the weeds are
young they offer only very slight opposition to
the efforts of destroying them; and by renewing
the attacks upon the rest that may afterward
appear, we shall get rid of the whole with com
paratively little labor and with loss to the
crops which they would otherwise entail

Mrs. A. Messersmith received
telegram from st. Paul yesterday ad-
dressed Mr.. Messersmith bearing the
sal intelligence that his mother had
been murdered and an attempt made
to murder Ills sister on Thursday
night. Mr.. Messersmith had left
town Thursday morning for his cattle
ranch near Kildeer mountain and
messenger was at once started after
him. He will leave for st. Paul on
the first train. Margaret, his mother
was seventy years old. His sister,
Maggie had been visiting here and
only returned home a week or so ago.
From the telegram it is thought she
may recover although badly cut.
They had no known enemies and the
only reason assigned for the foul deed
is that it was committed for money.
We have not been able to obtain the
full particulars of the sad affair
which has cast such gloom over Mr..
Messersmith' household.
G. r. Maben arrived here Thurs
day evening from the east with one
hundred and twenty-nine head of cat.
tie which he was taking to Miles
City. They were lmloaded at the
stock yards for & rest and to be fed.
During the night the gates were
thrown open by unknown parties and
thirty-ive head either strayed off or
were stolen. The circumstances
however, go to show that it was the
work of cattle thieves as diligent
search yesterday failed to find any
trace of the cattle and if they had
only strayed it is very probable
that they would have been found
somewhere near If the stock was
stolen and the thieves are captured
it will no doubt go hard with them
and the chances are that they will go
over the range without the cattle.
The rest Of the cattle are being herd
ed north of town.
Since the above was in type and
just as we were going to press we
received information that the cattle
had been found about ten miles north
west of town.
Envelopes, note heads, letter heads,
