Governor Sherman, OF Iowa,
saws he thinks that state favors Blaine.
There is very perceptible sign
OF a growing Logan boom for the
Presidency.
-Congress has promptly passed
the bill appropnanng 100000 for the
relief OF the OHIO river flooded dis
tricts.
The Edna Sentinel appears to
be remarkably well posted on the real
status of political affairs in Adair coun-
ty.
But the latest suggestion comes
from Indiana by the way of Washing
ton, and that is that Gen. w. T. Sher-
man, is likely to BE- the coming man
before the Chicago convention. 1t is
doubtful if he would accept.
We arc not a; all surprised that
our weekly list Of new subscribers and
renewals does not afford the great

These are "cold fax" however, and are
better than whole columns OF brag.
The floods on the Ohio and its
tributaries have reached unexampled
proportions and thousands Of people
have been driven from their homes,
who supposed themselves far out ol

sentative government seems to be a

gresham. At least tha: is about the

Las. weeks dispatches state
that BAKER Pasha's forces was cut to
pieces, and several English officers
butchered, also that Tewfk Bey with
iour hundred men were surrounded
and massacreed by the rebels. 1t
seems that England will have to do
something tewhks matters up over
there. But pasha, they'll theorize for

State attorney without competent wit
ness. Thus the state of Missouri has
no charge 1t can sustain against the
greatest robber of the age. James was,

the noble pros. taken in charge and
arraigned before Judge Krekel. of the
U. s. court, on the charge of being i'm
plicated in the robbery of a United
States paymaster in Alabama.
