CRAZED BY BAD WHISKY.
Frank Symmetry Dangerously Wounded by
a Drunken Friend.

Frank Symmetry was dangerously and perhaps
fatally stabbed, about II o'clock last night, by
Tom Stevens, an employee at Kingan's pork
house, in the southwestern quarter of the city.
Stevens had been drinking all day, and last
night he became boisterously intoxicated. Sim
merly endeavored to persuade him to go to bed
and cease his libations, and did eventually sue
coed in getting him into the house; but, crazed
by whisky, Stevens overpowered his friend
and ran out on the sidewalk, locking the door
after him as he went. Symmetry got out
through a window and renewed his endeavors to
get Stevens inside. when the latter drew a large
knife and stabbed him three times, once in the
left breast, once just over the kidneys, and once
in the right groin. DR.. c. I. Fletcher was sum
moned to attend to Simmerly's injuries, and
found them to be very serious, the wound in the
breast being in very close proximity to the apex
of the heart, and causing a profuse hemorrhage
which was arrested with great difficulty. Thu
wounded man is quite young, and unmarried,
making his home with Mrs. Fitzgerald on South
Tennessee street.

This gives a representation of BAG delegates
from the city and 100 from the townships, which
gives twenty-one less than in the last conven-
ton. The number of votes necessary for the
nomination of a candidate will be 269.
At the primary meetings on April IL a mem
Der of the central committee for each precinct
will be chosen.
In the apportionment for the district, joint
representative. JOINT senatorial and joint judi
cial conventions, as well as for the convention to
be held on June 10 for the nomination of State
candidates, it was decided to all ow one delegate
for each ward and township, with the exception
of Center, which will be entitled to three-two
north and one south. Each precinct will be en-
titled to three delegates to the convention for
the nomination of the candidates for senator
and representative, making 24O in all.
CANDIDATES AND THEIR WORK.
The canvass of the candidates for nomination
is already pretty well advanced, and about all
who aspire to the favorable recognition of the
next county convention have appeared in the
field. The nomination for sheriff is the chief
object of contention, and among those who are
announced as candidates are W.. 0. Patterson,
James r. Ross, John V. Parker, Robert N.
Harding and Fl. H. Beville. Patterson is en-
gagged in the livery business, Ross is a wholesale
LIQUOR dealer, Parker is a wholesale grocer,
Harding is at present deputy sheriff, and Beville
is a real estate agent.
The canvass is progressing actively, and the
nomination will be closely contested. From
present Indications Ross and Patterson seem to
have the advantage, and the supporting friends
of each of the candidates are confident of sue
cess. Ross has been prominent in the military
organizations of the city, and is receiving an en-
thusiastic support from this class. The members
of the Light Infantry, of which he was captain
last year, are using their utmost influence to Sc
cure his nomination. Patterson is secretary Of
the Republican county committee. and has been
a very active worker in the party. He is quite
well known and is very popular. His friends
claim that he will receive a hearty support from
the rural precincts. The canvass is progressing
actively, and is getting more spirited as the time
for the holding of the convention approaches.
The candidates for county treasurer, so far as
known, are Hezekiah Smart, who lives near
Lawrence; David J. Robertson, a Wayne town
ship farmer; Thomas Quill, a resident of the
Twenty-second ward; and Henry t. Fletcher,

THE CAMPAIGN FAIRLY OPEN
The Republican County Committee Sc
lectS DatesfOr the Conventions.
Gentlemen Who Will Request Nominations on
the County and Township Tickets
Representation by Precincts.

The meeting of the Republican county central
committee on Saturday afternoon was very
largely attended, and there was perfect unanimi-
ty in the proceedings. The date of holding the
township convention was changed from March
convention each precinct in the city
will be entitled to six delegates, and
Center Northeast will be entitled to six;
Southeast, six; Southwest six, and Northwest six.
The meetings for the selection of delegates to
the township convention and the State conven-
ton, called for APRIL II, will be held on Friday,
Feb. p. In the apportionment of delegates to the
State convention to be held on April II, one
will be selected from each ward in the city, two
from Center township, one north and one south,
and one from each township outside of Center.
When the delegates meet seven shall be selected
by lot to act as alternates.
Saturday, April IL, was fixed as the date for
holding the county convention, and the primary
meetings for the selection of delegates will be
held on the day previous, at 7a30 o'clock p. M. in
the precincts in the city, and at o'clock in the
afternoon in the precincts outside of the city.
The delegate representation will be the same as
in 1882, based, however, upon the vote cast in
that year for Secretary of State. Six delegates
will be allowed for each ward in the city and for
each precinct in the townships, besides one ad-
ditional delegate for each fifty votes and fraction
of more than twenty-five cast for E. R. Hawn
for Secretary of State. Upon this basis the
delegate representation for the different pre-
cincts, according to the calculation of w. o. Pat
terson, the secretary of the county committee,
will be as follows:

DESIRABLE OFFICE ROOMS.
A Centrally Located Building That Win Meet
a LOng-Felt Want.

For a long time there has been an urgent de-
mand in this city for frst-class Office rooms in a
central location and in a building in which a few
hygienic conditions have been regarded. On
Saturday a Journal reporter took a look through
the building of Drs. Allen & johnson, corner OF
Meridian and Circle streets. 1t is unfair to call
it the old Sentinel building. 1t has undergone a
complete metamorphosis, and is entirely new.
The ventilation is admirable, and the rooms all
have light and air in abundance. The light
comes down into the spacious Railways and the
interior rooms from the roof, in which there is
an immense skylight, containing over five nun
bred feet of rolled plate glass. There are fifty
rooms suitable for offices now ready for occu-
pancy. This building, fronting as it does on
Circle Park, is particularly desirable in the
spring and summer, having almost complete i'm
munity from dust. Its central location, added
to its other advantages, makes it the most desir-
able place for an Office in the city. Besides this,
the new Herdic coaches pass the door, and every
street-car line in the city runs within less than
half a square of the building. TIL building, as
it leaves the hands of the plumber and gas-ftter,
is not excelled by any in the city in the usual
necessary conveniences. Several rooms have al
ready been taken, and among the occupants are
Minturn & Minturn, engravers; DR.. John f.
Johnston, dentist; J. A. Closer & Co., grain deal
ers; Chas. E.. Reynolds & Co., real estate;
Plumb's variety store; Foote Brothers, grocers,
and the general railway ticket Office, and others.

Shot Himself Through the Brain.

About IL o'clock, on Saturday morning, Au-
gust Mohs, an old German citizen, shot himself
through the head at his boarding place, No. 159
Shelby street, death resulting almost immedi
ately. He was seventy-two years of age, and in
dependent circumstances, although he had at one
time been quite wealthy. Lately, however, he
had been earning a precarious living by Gaming
chairs and doing other odd jobs, and was subject
to frequent fits of dependency. At the time of
the suicide there was nobody in the house with
him except a young girl named Anna Laube,
who heard the shot and gave the alarm, after
seeing the old gentleman on the floor with a bull
let hole in his forehead. Upon coming to the
house he had gone into his own room and shot
himself, using a large revolver for that purpose.
The Coroner will commence the inquest to-day
1t was rumored On Saturday that Moh's SONS,
William and Frederick, who are in comfortable
circumstances, had not treated their father
kindly and affectionately, but there seems to be
no evidence to support this charge.

Co. Although early in the canvass, itis claimed
that the contest for the advantage is now chiefly
between Smart and Robertson, but the aspect of
ID. B. Fatout is a candidate for reelection as
surveyor, and, so far as known, has 40 opposi-
ton.
There are several candidates for coroner, and
among those who are announced are DIR. Bailey,
the city Board of Health, and DR.. James H.
Taylor. DR.. George Wishard has been men
toned, in connection with the nomination, but
declines to be a candidate.
FOR H TOWNSHIP OFFICERS.
TIL canvass of the aspirants for township off
ces has become more energetic, and the action of
the committee last Saturday in changing the
time for the convention to two weeks earlier will
have the effect to hurry the candidates some.
Robert c.. Williamson, the sanitary policeman,
is still in the field. but is not working actively,
John Egger, the eX-councilman, is also announced
as a candidate for trustee, and there are now
four candidates in the field, De Ruiter, Forbes,
Williamson, and Egger. Among those who are
known to be candidates for justice of the peace
are {. b. Feibleman, the present justice; ". @.
Smock, one of the deputies in the county clerks
office. Webb Robertson, a member of the old
police force, was a candidate for constable, but
has been given a position in the fire department,
and will probably not seek a n nomination. There
are five constables to be elected. Hugh Cloudy
will be a candidate for reelection, and Henry
Slusher, a jeweler living in the Fifteenth ward,
is credited with having constabulary aspirations.

Suit to Set Aside Conveyance.

Louisa Flanagan on Saturday began suit
against Mrs. Catharine Silvey and her son Will
lam to set aside an alleged fraudulent convey
ance of real estate. Last August the plaintiff
got judgment against William for $500, which
he was to pay in five equal annual payments, in
a bastardy suit. He has neglected to make the
payments as they become due, and Judgment for
the entire amount is therefore asked, and that a
transfer of real estate from the defendant to his
mother be set aside, as it was fraudulent and
without consideration.

Cultivation in Dry Weather.

Bulletin No. from the Missouri
State College Farm brings further re-
ports of tests made by Prof Sanborn
to determine the movement of moisture
in cultivated fields during the growing
season. Two sheet-iron pipes six
inches in diameter were driven into the
soil to the depth of six inches, one of
the pipes with its earth enclosed being
furnished with wooden bottom, driven
under il from outside after the pipe
was fixed in place, the soil i'm the other
pipe being without such "cut OFF, from
the earth below. The tests were car
ried on during the months of Septcm-
Der and October, the weather being
generally rainlcss.
BY repeated wcighings of soil taken
from the upper two inches, and the
second two inches, and dried by arti-
fic.al heat to determine the per cent. of
moisture each contained, it was shown
that in every case the surface contained
more moisture in the early morning
than in the previous evening, and also
that in every case but one. Ca very
toggy morning,) the upper two inches
contained less moisture than the sec
ond two inches. The inference is that
the surface soil of cultivated field is
constantly giving up moisture in dry
weather night and day, and that the
moisture is drawn upward by capillary
action from the soil beneath. In evil
dence OF this it was found that the
earth in the pipe with board bottom
in no case lost so much water by dry
ing ms the eartn in the pipe having
nothing to interrupt the upward move,
ment of the moisture through the soil.
These tests appear TO contradict the
old theory, so often advanced, that cul.
tivating soil deeply in dry weather
keeps 1t damp by attracting and absorb
ing the humidity of the atmosphere dur
ING the night. IL would seem, there
fore, that when the housekceper' 8
clothes hung upon line to dry during
the night, are found i'm the morning TO
have given up their moisture, or a por-
ton of il, 10 the surrounding atmosp-

such conditions the deeper and more

commended by Prof. Stock bridge. is ia

say one or.two inches deep, i'm order ia
keep the ground covered by a thin coat
OF soil, so thoroughly dried that it can
not readily conduct off the moisture
from below Stirring the surface hght-
~ disturbs capillary attraction. and
prevents the moisture from rising to
