MAHoNY PLANE, Pa, June 13.-
Simon Semitic was lodged in Jail to-
day for safe-keeping. He is a %
year-old Polander. He fell in love
with a handsome young country
woman named Eva Balthum. She did
not reciprocate his affections in spite
of his ardent devotion. This morn
ing he went to her residence, carry
ing pistol, knife and long rope.
The latter had a moose in one end,
and he adjusted it around his neck,
while the other end he fastened to 8
hat peg. Then with the pistol in one
hand pointed at his head, and the
knife in the other hand with the blade
pressed against his throat, he de-
manded if she would marry him
At this instant John Balthum, 6
brother of the prosecuted young
woman, came in, and -seizing th'
perspiring swain, disarmed him ant
walked him off to the Justices office
where he was sent to Jail under {
strong guard. Simon says be .onl.
wanted to frighten Eva into marry
ing him. John Balthum says if
after weeks imprisonment, Simol
promises to leave the region AM
quit prosecuting his sister, he wi
consent to his release.

Finis C., Farr.

Some of the best men in Missouri
are candidates for the various Offices
tried, trusted, working Democrats
and in filling each almost any one
of the aspirsnts would make most
excellent public servant.
Among these asking support at the
hands of the party, and worthy of it
in every conceivable way,is the Hon.
Finis c. Farr, who is a candidate for
secretary Of State. He has been
a legislator and a good one-just,
accurate, liberal, and true to the in
terests of the people. He has been
worker in the ranks from his very
boyhocd, and in several hot cam
paigns has distinguished himself for
his splendid qualities as a canvasser
and debater. For nearly four years
he has been Governor Crittenden's
private secretary, thereby being
brought into more or less familiar
business relationships with a large
number OF people, and such has
been his truth, fidelity, and great de-
sire to be useful and accommodating,
that he. has made friends in every di-
rection. The office he seeks is one
also which has directly to do with
the people and he would carry to
its administration the same genial
good;fellowship, and the same high
personal honor which have heretofore
characterized the rounding out of
every offieial trust confided to his
keeping. Vigilant as worker ;
strong in campaign; invaluable in
a rough-and-tumble political fight ;
wise In counsel; genial, whole souled,
and devoted; thoroughly trained in
all the administrative processes of
the State government, and so clever
and approachable as to make it a
real pleasure to have to do business
with him. we know Of no man
more entitled to appreciation and re-
ward at the hands of his party than
F. C. Farr. He is young man, but
he is also q veteran Of the Old Guard

Tom. X. Wilkinsing, well known
in St. Joseph, as a dead beat, died
last night. He was worthless, lazy
vagabond, and lived on the money
earned by his wife who "took in"

of drinking too much whisky. The

shall, in a few days, publish some
resolutions, wherein the members
will say it has pleased the Ruler, &c.

No Instructions.

The Democratic State Convention,
which meets in st. Louis ON the
Path to send delegates to the Naiion-
al Convention at Chicago, should not
think of instructing for anybody.
Missouri can not know by that time
possibly who is either the best or the
strongest man to put in the place
that would undoubtedly have been
occupied by Samuel ]. Tilden.
Missouri, with her $4,000 Demo-
cratic majority-safe for any can
didate put before the people-should
go to Chicago to name a winner.
To do that men are nothing, De-
mocracy everything. Discuss any
mans claims or all mems claims.
Look over the whole field. Survey
it, search it, sum it up; but do not
tie the hands of the delegates to the
chariot wheels of any individual.
Events gather fast; responsible
ties thicken and thicken. Missouri
must listen to Indiana, to Ohio, to
New York, to New Jersey, to Con-
necticut, to Pennsylvania. Some
where, and in some of these states,
is that strength alone to be found
which is to give US victory. Con-
suit them, therefore, and be in a
condition to act promptly whenever
such consultations make clear and
plain the duty of the Missouri De-
mocracy.
If instructions obtain, no honora-
BILE delegate can disobey the man.
dates of his party. Even though he
was we'll convinced that he was max
ing a mistake, if he violated the OBJ
legations he took upon himself when
he accepted the position of delegate
without protest, he would be dishon-
ored. Hence, let every one of them
60 free. Choose sensible, practical,
unmistakable Democrats, but give
them all necessary latitude to get tc
the States we have named and learn
from them who is best to nominate,
who is strongest, and who can be the
surest of election Any other course
would be simply suicidal.-St. Jo'
