Three Jackson doggeries have gone into re-
tirement, for a time at least.
Reports of grasshoppers and army worms are
becoming discouraging.
Potato bugs are showing up in immense num-
bers.
The entertainment the Rink on Thursday
night, by the High Shcool will probably be
largely attended. Children have been selling
tickets for week.
Our applicants from this County for positions
in the Penitentiary all at sea with regard to
their chances. 1t is pretty certain that the po-
sition of Deputy Warden will come to Jackson
County, but beyond that nothing is certain.
The dogsery- keepers seemed to display won
derful interest, rather curiosity with regard
to the Salvation Army. They feel that any
thing which is done sin the name of the Lord'
is against their business.

The Sunday Schools.
LESSON FOR NEXT SUNDAY.

John 4. 43-54.
43 Now after two days he departed thence, and wen
into Galliee.
A For Jesus himself testified that prophet hath
no honor in his own country.
As Then, when he come into Galiee the Call e.
ans received him. having all things that he did
at Jerusalem at the feat for they also went unto the
feast.
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galiee where
he made the water wine. And there was certain
nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
AZ When he heard that Jesus was come out of udea
into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him
that he would come down, and heal his son: for he
was at the point of death.
As Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye signs
and wonders, ye will not believe.
40 The nobleman saith INTO him, Sir, come down
my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way thy son liv-
eth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had
spoken unto him, and he went his way.
81 And as he was now going down, his servants met
him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
80 Then inquired he of the hour when he began to
amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the
seventh hour the fever left him.
53 So the father knew it the same hour in the
which Jesus said unto him, Thy liveth: and
himself believed, and his whole whole house.
81 This is the second miracle that Jesus did, when
he was come out of Judea into Galilee.

To the Editor of the Standard:
This is time in our history of general
investigation and overhauling. The DEM
ocratic campaign cry of 1884, was that the
Republican party was most wonderfully
corrupt, that corruption and prodigality
reigned supreme in the government de-
partments at Washington. The people
had heard so much of this kind of talk
that a great many people, even Republi-
cans, really believed that the charges
were possibly true. Through charges of
this kind and promise of good times for
the dear people, and the meanest kind of
placed in possession of the Presidency and
the lower branch of Congress. Now the
people began to look for the truth of this
charge of theft and robbery. The inves-
tigatiOn went on, and on, and nothing
found. They wanted something to feed
the party, now reduced to almost skele-
ton, knowing that they could not live
much longer on fraud, but at last had to
go away hungry and starving for any diet
of that kind. The books were all right,
not dollar stolen or misplaced. Glori-
Gus result! Democrats as well as Repub-
licans ought to be glad that it was so. We
are all interested in National, State,
County and Municipal affairs. Rumor
says that Jackson County is not managed
as it should be. Charges of this kind are
made, that one insane person is taken to
Columbus and three brought back, pro
nounced cured 1 supposeO and mileage
charged as though three separate trips
had been made. l hope this is not true,
as it would be a display of an unusual
amount of cheek. 1t surely would be a
wonderful strain upon mans conscience,
if not upon the law. Rumor also has it
that witnesses are subppnaed in town
while on business there who live in diff
ferent parts of the County and mileage
charged to and from their places of resi-
dence in sach case separately. When the
officer does go out of town, the charge is
that he takes the witnesses by circuit
GUS route but charges mileage by the back
and forth rule. Another charge is that
there are too many witnesses subpenaed
before the grand jury in trivial cases
that half or one-third the number usually
brought in would be sufficient. We can
not blame the taxpayers for complaining
of these things if true; if not true, hope
some one who feels that his toes have
been tramped will in gentlemaply man
ner make correction.

A SLICK STRANGER.
He Does Up Several Citizens Of
Plankinton.

The Plankinton Beacon of Thursday
says: A stranger, supposed to hail
from Douglas county, came in yester-
day afternoon, bought chair OF Deer
ing, and stayed at the Banner restau-
rant all night. He stole blank checks
from Bassett, Hunting & Co.'s elevator
and filed them out SO neatly that few
could detect the forgery. About six or
seven O'Clock he commenced passing
them. He sold one to DR.. Brown for
$2SOO and one to Chas. Smith, proprie-
tor of the Chicago Store. for S26.OO.
He called at G. ID. Chase's while Mr..
Chase was at supper, and asked Mr..
Robinson, the clerk in charge Of the
store, to cash check for ss3l.82 Mr.. r.
counted out the money, and just then
it struck him that the signature was
not right, and he told the man to come
around when Mr.. Chase was in. He
then went to Anderson & Dougan's
and got Mr.. ID. to cash the check. His
plan was to buy few tritling articles,
as a blind, and then present the checks.
Deputy Sheriff Parker and Charley
Smith are in hot pursuit. Indignant
citizens threaten tar and feathers and a
neck-tie festival if they get hold of
him.

Local Travel Delayed.

New YORK, Jan. 9.-The snow storm
which ragged all of last night with
unabated fury still continued during
the day. 1t was accompanied by a
very high wind which caused drifts in
sheltered places. 1t alse had the effect
of delaying travel in the city to great
extent, and ferry boats took about
double their usual time to make trips.
Travel OF the elevated railway was
also attended with slight delays.
The greatest delays, however, was met
with in street car travel. Sweepers
and snow plo VS. were brought into use
and teams were doubled upon the cars,
still there was great difficulty IN get
ting along, ,blockades frequently occurr-
ed by the cars becoming derailed. The
storm has seriously interferred with
the prompt arrival of the regular
mails

IN THE SOUTH.
Way Down South.

GALVESTON, Texas, Jan. 9.-The
continuous northwest wind has driven
the water out through the channel,
exposing the oyster beds and shell on
the banks for miles along Galveston
bay. The small lakes down the island
are frozen three to five inches which is
something unprecedented in this
vicinity. An oyster man named
Thomas Jefferson was found dying on
the deck of his sloop this morning,
frozen to death. A negro boy was
found below deck frozen fast to the
bottom of the boat. He was alive but
stuck fast. The discoverers knocked
the boy loose with plank and he
was thawed out.
The cold wave extends over o vast
area and will result in immense damage
to stock of all kinds. AL telegraphic
communication is greatly impede ed.
Austin reports the temperature ten
below zero. Hundreds of feet of water
pipe are frozen at Laredo. The tenn
perature is eight degrees below the
freezing point. AT Palestine the
mercury touched zero, the coldest
weather experienced there in forty
years. The water works, and street
plugs were all frozen and cracked. At
Corpos Christi the mercury fell sixty
four degrees in twenty-four hours.
Many of these points report cattle
suffering from intense cold. The herds
drift aimlessly about for shelter.
Many cattle must perish but it is too
early to estimate the extent of damage
or loss.

Abraham Lincoln's Personality.
(COl Robert j. IngersOll)

Lincoln was an immense personali-
ty-firm but not obstinate. Obstinacy
is egotism frmness, heroism. He in
tluenced others without effort, uncons-
ciously; and they submitted to him as
men submit to nature, unconsciously.
He was severe with himself, and for
that reason lenient with others. He ap
peared to apologize for being kinder
than his fellows. He did merciful
things as stealthily as others committed
crimes. Almost ashamed of tenderness,
he said and did the noblest words and
deeds with that charming confusion
that awkwardness that is the perfect
grace of modesty. As noble man
wishing to pay small debt to po5rs5
neighbor, reluctantlyso ysoffers 500 Bill3
and asks for change, fearing that he
may be suspected either of making 9.
display Of wealth or pretense Of pay,
ment, so Lincoln hesitated to the hest he
knew, agreat man STOPPING, not Wishing
to make his fellows feel that they were
ksmall or mean.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.--It has been
storming at intervals all day and is
showing hard again this evening. The
mercury at seven o'clock p. m. is four
teen degrees above, with every indica-
tion of falling to zero before morning,
as the cold is increasing hourly. The
mails this morning from every direct
ion were delayed several hours and the
heavy downfall Of snow put stop to
work on the capitol. Sleighing is ex-

been crowded all day with equipages
of every description, and from the
most stylish turnouts to dry goods
box placed on runners. The whole pre-

Something Onicial from St. Paul.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 9-Signal Officer
Lyons says: Every indication shows
that the force Of the cold wave is bro
ken, but as a matter of fact it will be
some time before the weather will be-
come moderate. At Helena the mercu-
ry stood nine above to-day, which
shows conclusively that the wave has
left that section of the country and is
travelling very rapidly down the Mis-
souri, valley. The wave will probably
strike Chicago tonight or tomorrow
morning, and travel thence eastward.
The lowest point reached heard from

thermometer registered 50 degrees
below st. Vincent reported Al below.
The rise in temperature in the north

ceptable by tomorrow. Weather re-
ports from the railroads differ but
little from those of the signal service.

A BRAVE MOTHER.
She Lets Her Hand Burn or Rather

Lives,

Woonsocket News: "A terrible acci-
dent happened to Mrs. r. A. Wheeler
Monday evening that will probably
render her cripple for life. The lady
was cooking supper over a gasoline
stove and had set the tea kettle, partly
filled with water, under the stove. In
reaching over the stove, it seems that
her dress in some way caught upon
and turned one of the faucets or spin
dies, and quantity of gasoline ran out
and down into the tea kettle. She
soon noticed the gasoline running and
shut it off; but did not know that any

wards set the tea kettle on the stove,
and when the water, with the danger
GUS oil on top, had almost reached the
boiling point, she picked up the kettle
and started to carry it into another
room, and when only a few steps from
the stove, the gasoline on top OF the
water exploded and the flames burst
out. She ran to the door to open it
and threw it out, but the door did not
open easy, and the little children sat on
the floor near by--to drop it was deatl,
to them. So this brave woman clung
to the kettle, thinking only Of her child

to a crisp, and carried the flaming YES
sci back to the gasoline stove. Had
she dropped it, it is quite likely the
children would have been Immediately
enveloped in the flames. The unfortu-
