JEFFERSON

Last Saturday George Stark, the %.
year-old son of John Stark, Of Milford,
while rowing his mother across the Craw-
fish river near Milford, fell out of the
boat and was drowned. 1t seems he was
standing in the boat, and losing his bal
ance, fell over the side into the water and
never rose again. The agony of the poor
mother, seated in the boat anxiously
scanning the water for sight of her
loved son, can be better imagined than
described. As soon as she could land
and communicate the intelligence, per-
sons at once commenced search for the
tody; but fully two hours elapsed before
it was found.

Wednesday morning Dr. Whitney,

it is considered that the two farms are
upwards of mile apart.

A STRONG OBJECTION.

The Circumstances Which Led to the De-
feat of Candidate for Coroner.
Several years ago, while the country
was somewhat wild, an election was
being held in a Dakota county. The
man who was a candidate for the inn
portant Office of coroner was so strong
ly opposed by prominent local poll
tician that some of the former friends
called on the latter to see him about it.
"Why is it you are making such q
strong fight on Colonel Snatcher, our
candidate for coroner?" they asked.
''I don't think he is fit man for the
place. "
''Well, we low he's just as good a
ledge of what busted man up and sent
him over there as any of 'em. Besides
the interests of his party demands his
election
''May be, but object to him on other
grounds" !"

"You know we appointed Bill Snatch
er, his brother, chairman of the Vigi-
lance Committee.
eyes"
"Well, I'm agin punching offices that
run together so in the same family. 1t
may be all right to have one of 'em run
around with his committee during the
night and string up citizen for his
brother to cut down the next morning
and set on, but I don't look at it that
way If we could know that they
would confine their attention to tender
feet it would be all right, but what as
surance have we that any OF us might
not be called on to dangle from tele-
graph pole to furnish fees for the
Snatcher family. No, sir, | shall vote
against him. ''-Estelline I'd. IT, Belt.

The color line threatens to bring con-

of two things is inevitable; either the
status Of the cOlOred laborer Of the

white laborer of the North must be re-
dueed-F The latter proposition has no
show of recognition, and the whits

Statistics. show that during the war
of the rebellion disease was the cause
OF twO and a half times as many deaths
among the soldiers as were killed out
right or died from wounds received in
battle. This fact is shown by figures
from the official record given in Har-
per's Magaziae. The whole number OF
men in the Federal army during the
war was 2,778, ,304, Of whom only 81, ,05s
were killed in action, or about one in
forty of those who served. Some As, 600
more died of wounds received in the
field. That over double as many deaths
are due to disease than to the carnage
OF warfare during a campaign will sur
prise most people.

A Point for Senator Ingalls,.
Washington Post (Dem.)


Senator Ingalls, was very happy in his meta
phor as to the mugwump. The pterodactyll is,
no doubt, startling bird and emnently fit to be
used in illustration OF that equally peculiar
freak, the mugwump. But we fail to under
stand how the learned Senator came to overlook
that still more wonderful creature, the Tu-
Whoo. The showman's language when de-
scribing this curiosity to the gaping multitude,
seems to fit the case exactly:
Next, ladies and gentlemen, will introduce
to your kind attention the worldfamed Tu-
Whoo. This unparalleled bird, ladies and gen.
tlemen, inhabits the impepatrable Businesses of
Yucatan. There, secreted in his native jungle,
he walks into the water and then walks out
again. Why he does this God only knows.
"When pursued by the enemy, he returns to
the water from which he has so unaccountably
emerged, buries his bill in the yielding mud and
whistles those mournful notes-Tu- Whoo-
from which, you will observe, he derives his
name
Ii this doesn't fit the mugwumg. we have
failed to appreciate the mugwump. and we don't
think we have.
