If spread eagle ranting and roaring of its
praises and numerous advantages could make
a prosperous city, a certain west-end paper
would have ere now built up La Sale
with a population of 80, 900 or more. Every
breeze that comes from that city is laden
with newspaper exaggeration. Not long
ago it was said the A. o. II. society were
about to build $4,000 opera house. but
the project has faded from sight days and
weeks ago. One Of the latest make-ups is
that two wealthy gentlemen are about to
build 5000 hotel But not content with
that, now comes the hurrah that some mon
eyed men will build a $4,000 block and
form Young Mems Christian Association!
Very pretty! but La Sale should look to
her laurels, for bridge about one mile long
is to be built across the Illinois at Spring
Valley to give the farmers of Putnam county
an opportunity to trade at the new town, the
survey for the new bridge having been made
last week.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Ferdinand Ward
was sentenced by Judge Barrett to-day to
state prison for ten years. Gen. Tracy.
Wards counsel, moved an arrest of judy
ment in the action on the following grounds:
First, the facts in the second count do not
constitute crime; and, second, the court
has no jurisdiction in the case The bill of
exception on which the motion for a new
trial is based contain six clauses, and relate
to the charge of the judge to the jury to
which the exceptions are made. The district
attorney then moved that sentence be pro-
nounced. Ward stood up, pale but firm,
and received the sentence. Judge Barrett
was very severe, telling the prisoner ne had
no defense, and the only surprise was that
so intelligent jury had taken so long to
reach verdict. The judges closing words
were: You have done more to unsettle
public confidence III moneyed institutions
than any other man Of this generation, and
yet, through this entire trial, you have
shown yourself to be wholly unrepentant
for the sins you have committed. This
being the fact, l must simply content my
self with pronouncing the sentence OF the
court. which is that you shall be confined
in the state prison at hard labor for the
period of ten years" Not muscle OF the
prisoners face changed while these scath-
ing remarks were made. He bowed his
head, but did not tremble or show any evil
dence of feeling. Ward was quickly sur
rounded by his friends. He put on his over
coat. took his derby hat and left the court
room accompanied by his keeper. Ward
was taken to Sing Sing at $3.50 this after
noon. He spent the intervening time in ar
hanging to some private affairs.

1t seems to be assumed by Republican
papers that If a Thoroughbred rascal can
anywhere be found he is pretty certain to be
clapped into some fat federal Office. A Re-
publican organ at St. Paul begins in this
wise: Theodore Tyrer, who has received an
appointment in the treasury department at
Washington, has history which is quite well
known at Albert Lea" Then follows his
tory of the alleged appuiutee, from which it
appears that he served three years in New
York penitentiary for forgery and afterward,
at Albert Lea, twas indicted on ten distinct
charges of forgery, pleaded guilty to two OF
them, and was sent to Saltwater prison for
four years." whence he emerged only last
May. With such a record, Tyrer would Ger
tainly be ar improper man to appoint to any

'"Theodore Tyrer has not been appointed to

tain his name has not been presented for any

not right to assume that the administration is
securing the country to find jail-birds to take
Office. If this were the case Republicans
might stand far better show for the offices.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Oct. 31.-This
morning about o'clock the Kanawha river
began rising rapidly. With the rise about
fifty barges loaded with coal, owned by
various collieries above the city, were swept
away. A large fleet of loaded barges lying
along the bank of the river here shared the
same fate About half million bushels of
coal is lost. Many barges lie at the
bottom of the river. At this hour
it is difficult to tell the actual loss, as
number of places up the river among col
leries have not been heard from. The de-
struction of property is nearly $50, 000
The river is thirteen feet, and raising foot
