thinks that the doctor and Jimmy

The action of The president in
suspending Judge Vincent is vari-
ously commented upon. Surely the
appointment OF such man as
Stephen w. Dorsey, as a jury com
missioner is enough to cool the ardor
of Judge Vincent's most ardent adj

that the appointment was made with
view to the selection of Jurors that
would further the nefarous schemes
of the numerous land sharks of Col
fax and adjoining counties. 1t be-
comes daily more apparent that the
number of prominent Democrats
that are free from "nest hiding'

went To Fleetwood, where they entered the

from the pile Of change and put ten
dollar bill in Its pace WITT out the cork
noticing the trick They said they were
short ten dollars and the clerk, surprising
he had MADE a mistake, handed over
another ten dollar b II. Next they visited
the cigar store of L. Weston and here ten

team and were driven to Lyons Station and
entering the store of Lewis Miller bor rht n
pair Of gloves and tendering twenty
dollar bill in payment, but the clerk not

aud entered Barto's Hotel, where they
spent money freely. one OF them laiu
down the twenty dollar bill and when the
bartender gave him the change he counted
il and it was found TO be five dollars short
wraugle ensued, the bartender insisting
that I've laid down ten dollar bill among
the change and Smith claimed that he
only received five dollar bill. The bar
tender subsequently, handed over another
five dollar bill, believing he had made
mistake. The sharpers next visited Toplon
and tried their game on Landlord Fisher,

The darkest piece OF daylight the citi-
zens Of Louisville, KY, ever saw visited
that city just before 8 o'clock Monday
morning. A brisk rain had been falling
for three hours, and an unusually heavy
fog had euveloped the city all the morn
ing. About $3.50 o'clock q sudden gust
OF wind came from the west, and heavy
mass Of black cloud overspread the sky.
The fog increased in density, making
the day as dark as night, The gas was
lighted in all the business hcusss and
residences, and tie streets were shrouded
in an almost impeEe;rable gloom, which
lasted for about five minutes. Many
were badly frightened ct the unusual
phenomenon, and large numbers of the
colored population concluded that the
last day had come, and ran about in
amazement and alarm, The darkness
was followed by Grenching rain, which
lasted twenty minutes. Small miunowa
were scattered proiuSely in some locall
ties after the heavy cloud burst. The
Shdden shower and the appearance OF
fish betokered a water spout from the
Oaio.
