MAY BE AcQUITrED.--Marshal Isbell
who accompanied f. q. Brunner and
his prisoner, Grigerson, to Parsons,
says the latter is likely to be acquitted.
His adversary had been very abusive
and troublesome and his fate was
not surprising to the people who knew
him. Grigerson was at this place less
than year ago and IN company with
Judge Clardy, Of Wamego, Kansas.
called at the CHrEFTAIN office. His
friends out west, being fearful of a con-
viction, offered Mr.. Drummer 81 900 to
let him get away, but we're met with
the very decided answer that he was
going to take Grigerson TO Parsons OF
kill him.

A DISTRESSING WoUxD.-on Wednes-
day of last week, after the forms of
this paper were "made up" we heard
the bare announcement that a young
man living in the county had accident
ally shot his nose off. II has since
been learned that instead OF slight
accident most terrible one had
occurred. The victim was Dave McCul-
ly, (generally known as McCrary) living
on A. q. Raymond's place, a mile west
of town. In company with a brother,
we believe, Mr.. McCully was out hunt
ing aud in getting through wire fence
three-quarters of mile from the house
the mishap befel him. The contents
Of his gun, (bird and buck shot) first
passed through the left arm just above
the wrist and then tore the front OF
his face literally to pieces. The lower
and upper lips, the left side Of the
nose and part OF the forehead were
lacerated most horribly. The brother
started for a wagon aud the unfortu-
nate man followed and had covered half
the distance to the house when help
came. Physicians were called at once
and soon decided upon amputation OF
the arm which was accomplished in a
very short time. The face wound was
treated as carefully as possible but the
result cannot yet be determined.
There is great danger Of blood poison
ing in which case the patient could
sc~~cely survive. The poor fellows
iirbt thought seemed to be of others,
as he said he did not care so much on
his own account as on his mothers.
Doctors Foreman, Fortner and Bagby
have all been in attendance.

TEMPERANCE. - On account OF the
inclement weather the attendance at
the temperance meeting last Friday
night was not as large as usual. Quite
a number Of those present made brief
remarks and the interest seemed by no
means to be tagging. Owing TO the
numerous gatherings provided for the
winter months it WAS arranged to hold
no more meetings until the first
Friday in January.

Meeting of the Farm er's 8 Club.

Cecil Club was held at Mr.. Josh
eph Coudon's pursuant to appoint
ment, on Wednesday last, 18th inst.
The meeting was not very well at
tended 10y members, there not being
a quorum present, which prevented
the regular order of business from
being taken up. How this unfOrtu-
nate coincidence Of SO many members
failing to attend occurred we
could not conjecture, as
the day was one of the Fl
nest. Mr.. Coudon has a magnificent
farm of nearly 800 acres. The bu Id
ings are located on a gravelly knowl,
from which a grand view cut over the
upper part of Chesapeake bay, and
the famous ducking fats of the Sus-
quehanna is had. The buildings are
large and fine and every thing in har
mony with an extensive and fertile
farm. The host Of the day being es-
sayist, Mr.. CoudOn was called on to
read that document, but there being
no quoram he pleaded that such a
proceeding would be out Of order,
and the matter being further urged
confessed that he had been remiss,
and had prepared none, but that he
had put few thoughts together which
he would give the company the bene
fit of in familiar talk. The subject
of conversation was the comparative
profit of grass and grain fed cattle.
The speaker had some misgivings
as to there being any profit derived
from feeding grass cattle, attributing
the cause mainly to the low price OF
dressed Chicago beef, which filled the
markets of our large cities. The
subject was discussed pro and con.
but the leading cattle men among the
members not being present no defn-
ite opinion was reached. The meet
ing although informal was a very
pleasant one, and swelled to fair pro
portions by number ofinvited guests
A serious question arose on account
Of no quorum being present, as to
what disposition was to be made of
the most excellent canvas back duck
dinner which had been provided for
the club, but when the hour arrived
for discussing this part OF the pro.
gram. motion to suspend the rules
prevailed, and the subject was taken
up and disposed of in the most salts
isfactory and exhaustive manner,
We felt sorry, and are quite sure
Mr.. Coudon did also, that the at
tendence of members was so few, the
great interest of agriculture, for the
advancement of which the Club was
formed, must suffer to some extent,
when ever those who have its keep
ing in charge fail to respond to her
call.
The Club adjourned to meet at Mr..
Jno. w. McCullough's on Wednesday
Dec. 10th, and it is hoped that all
the members will feel it a duty to be
present, and that Mr.. Mccullough
will not neglect the necessary essay.
and customary essay.
Mr.. Coudon has some fine short
horn stock and we have never seen
nicer lot of Berkshire pigs than punct-
uated the wood lot adjacent to the
barn, like black dots or periods on
the pages of an agricultural journal.

Our Washington Letter.


Washington, Nov. -, 1889.
The members of the Forty-Ninth
Congress are arriving in the city
daily. They are talking about tie
Speakership contest, about revising
the rules of the Lower House, about
the Senate's opposition to President
ial appointments, and about the
questions to be presented this winter
to the new Congress.
While it is understood that the
Democratic majority will re-elect
Mr.. Carlisle Speaker the Republicans
will give the complimentary nomina-
tion to one of their brethren. AS
the Member becomes the virtual
leader Of the minority, certain in
terest centres in the coming action Of
the House Republican caucus.
Several names are mentioned for
this honor. They are Messrs. Reed,
of Maine, Hiscock of New York.
Long of Massachusetts,, and McKin-
ley of Ohio. The two former are
really the only candidates, and it is
thought that Mr.. Reed will get the
nomination. Being more aggressive
and more courageous in the express
sion of his opinions than Mr.. His
cock, he is the natural leader Of the
Republican minority.
Mr.. Reed is ready, irrepressble
talker, and spends large part of
his time in Congress Oh his feet,
either in speaking or in button n-hol-
ing his confreres. He knows well
how to utilize his own information,
and he has sarcastic style that is
heighten ned by an exasperating cool
ness. Both he and Mr.. Hiscock are
men of experience, each having
served several terms in the House.
Mr.. Hiscock is slow in his movements
and methods He does not speak
often, and has no gift for shining in
the running fire of an acrimonious
debate. He is a rich man, and dur
ing the winter gives fire dinners.
The Republican leaders are all
high-tariff advocates. al the
leaders on the Democratic side
with the exception of Mr. Ran
dali, are pronounced revenue re-
formers. Therefore the battle in the
House between protection and reform
of the tariff, promises to be fought on
strict party lines.
There is so much complaint
against the rules of the House Of
Representatives, that effort will be
made early in the session to improve
them. Congressman Springer says
he has spent months in deyising y
set of rules that will facilitate legis-
lation. Through the present,,rules. the
most positive will of the majority can
be defeated by the minority, and the
interests of the many subordlnated
to the schemes of few. The average
day in the House is devoted the ques-
ton "What shall we do today The
gentleman from Illinois says his plan
of revision opens the way for prompt
transaction of business which meets
the approval of majority. He is
willing to trust a majority of the
representatives of the people.
The extent to which the RepubIi-
can Senators will oppose the Admin
istration in the matter of appoint
ments will be determined by the
cauc US in about week. A Repub
lican Senator remarked, II do not
believe in opposing the President
because he is Democrat. There are
two things to be considered in an
