As an inducement for subscribers to
pay up old scores and renew their sub
scription for another year, we have
made such arrangements with the
! eayenworth Times, that enables US to
offer that leading paper with the HER
AID for only $3.50 for both. The
Times needs no introduction at our
hands as it is essentially the state paper,
being a fearless, Outspoken, independ-
ent Republican journal. 1t believes in
the enforcement of ell laws and that
the statutes should rule instead of pol
icy. During the present campaign it
will be more than interesting, as both
sides of all questions will be presented
in its columns, and while not endorsing
anything outside Of the straight Repub-
lican ticket, believe that all are entitled
to a hearing.
This offer is for limited time and if
you want to take advantage of a good
offer do so at once. This offer is for
all our subscribers. Those already
in advance on their subscription to the
HERALD, will be credited a year for
both papers on receipt of $3.50. Let
every subscriber avail himself of this
opportunity.

Further reports from Linn state that
the wild family have all been captured
and are bound and guarded in a tent at
the camp ground on Parsons creek,
IN Washington county, where they
were partially provided with clothing
They cannot talk but make a kind of
growing noise which they seem to un-
derstand. They will not eat cooked
food but devOur raw meat ravenOusly.
A reporter describes them as being of a
dirty ash color, with bla * eyes, fiat
nose, thin lips, large feet and hands
and very muscular. The man and WO-
man have a bald spot on top of the
head looking like the scalp had
at some time been removed. The the
ory is that the man and woman are
man and wife and have been sCaiped
by the Indians, That the effects of the
wounds have made them insane and
they have been wandering in the woods
in this awful condition for no one knows
how long. There is talk of having an
operation performed on the woman S
head to see if they can restore her mind
and thus find out something Of then
history.

On Monday last the passenger train |
on the Fort Kearney branch Of the U. |
P jumped the track between Aida /
and Milford. Hon. W. W. Walton, |
editor of the Clay Center Uisp atch, was
on the engine with Engineer Mullins
and Fireman Frelss. The engine few

WAS thrown out Of the left cab window
and so severely scalded, that he died in
short time. The engineer and fireman
we're also badly scalded. The Atchison
Champion gives the following account
Of the accident and death Of Mr.. Wal
ton:
1t seems from the best accounts that
Mr.. Walton attended at junction City
Saturday q conference Of the Anderson
/ Congressional Committee of the Fifth
District, at which Mr.. Anderson was
present, and which lasted until mid
night. On Sunday evening MIR. Wal
| ton was accompanied to the Junction
City depot by Miss Sallie Hodges,
daughter OF Mrs. James Strseter, Of
Junction City. and a half-s sister of Miss
Jennie Streeter, who was wounded By
Carlisle in Kansas City. To Miss
Hodges. it is now stated, Mr. Walton
was to have been married IN a few
weeks,
According to one statemen, Mr..
Walton spoke Of riding on the engine
before the train, the regular evening
passenger, started from Junction City,
but for some reason gave up the idea
but told his friends IN the passenger
coach, when the train was nearing Ali
da, a station a short distance from
Junction City, that he was going to gel
on the engine, and told them to collect
his insurance policies. He then climbed
on the engine and the train proceeded
Between Aida and Milford, and about
a mile from Aida, the engine flew the
Z track, and Mr.. Walton was thrown intC
a deep ditch with much violence; the
1 engine fell over and bridged the ditch
: but did not fall on Mr.. Walton, bu
caused one Of the pipes to burst. anG
the escaping steam scalded Mr.. Walton
from head to foot, and it was though
he inhaled considerable steam. 1t wa
some time before he could be rescued
from the wreck, and when taken from
under the engine he was LITERAL,
. cooked by the steam. The enginee
and fireman in getting him from unde

Col Fred Douglass, in a recent ad-
address before the col0red editors at
Atlantic City, n. j., made use Of the
following well chosen words: l can
not understand for the life of me how
any cOlOred man who remembers that
ten twelve, fifteen years ago, when
the question of emancipation and citi-
zenship were up, and the democratic
party was upon one side and against
our emancipation and citizenship with
the Republican party in favor Of it.
can't see for the life of me how any
colOred man could side with the dem
Ocratic party aud against the Republi-
can party. The democratic party has
not changed sufficiently TO cause me to
join that party. Although 1 have been
retained in Office, can say that have
never kept back, never suppressed my
adhesion to the republican party.
Cleveland was brave enough when
public sentiment set against me, he
was braYe enough to invite not once,
twice or thrice, but many times to the
grand receptions at the White House,
but Grover is Ia bad company. I must
remember the party that set me free,
though there are good and bad in both
parties We can't be independent, we
can't be neutral. 1t is better to be
pat of the whole than the whole of a
part. We can't afford to 90 tumbling

/ land makes a good president.

PROHIBITING VICE

henri WattersOn, the great apostle
of Democracy, who has been for some
time travling in Europe, writes his
paper from Baden Baden, Germany,
as follows touching the prescription of
drinking and gambling:
Speaking seriously, and for my own
part, L believe that a rigorous repres-
sion and the unrelenting prescription Of
vice of every kind is the only cure for
it. On this subject have changed my
opinion altogether. once thought
that there ars certain vices inherent to
men, that cannot be resisted and had
better be licensed. The experience
and observation of a life, neither mex
perienced nor unobservent, has com
pletely reversed this theory. The world
