THE death of President Arthur
will be as deeply mourned by the
people in general as that of any
president who has held the high
office in times of peace. The re-
sponsibilities, thrust upon him
through lamcntable tragedy, were
unexpected, and he assumed them
with full appreciation Of the critical
circumstances. A large portion of
his own party regarded his abilities
with feelings of distru~t, verging
upon Suspicion. But be it said to
his honor and patriotism that he
discharged the duties with fidelity
and established in all hearts belief
in the purity of his intentions AMI
abiding faith in his ability. His
administration was distinguished by
conservatism and purity unexcelled
by any IN the history of our govern
ment. Such a guiding hand was
the demand of the critical hour, and
to the man whose genius and gcner-
Gus yet firm qualities brought about
a patriotic harmony, no less credit
is due than to those who have ruled
and conquered in more exciting
times. All factions and all parties
unite in paying HEARTFELT tribute to
the dead statesman and we'll tried
patriot.

sary. That accredited above as the
os,ensible purposs, of our visit to
Nebraska was the real and only
object of our going, and the Advo.
cate editor had no reason whatever
to believe that we had ''intentions
OF looking at that country with a
view to locating newspaper" On
the contrary he was informed that
such was not the intention, but yet
he has chosen TO wilfully circulate
what he knew to be a misleading
opinion-with what intent he best
knows. The Advoeate editor has a
we'll earned reputation for allowing
his prejudices and desires to dictate
his editorials and even election news
items, but in giving the minor news
notes OF the town he should hug as
closely to the truth as etiquette will
concede to short acquaintance.
We would simply add that before
going to Nebraska or since our re-
turn we have entertained no idea of
locating newspaper, and only went
for the purposes our esteemed but
officious contemporary has been
pleased to term "ostensible."

sage to Mrs. McElroy upon the
death Of ex-President Arthur. was
the most graceful missive of his
administration. 1t was an appropri-

transfer of the office were most con-
genial, and gave an eminent exam

A VILLAGE IN RUINS.

Romeo Destroyed by Ftre-S13O, 900
Worth of Property In Ashes.
The village of Romeo, eleven miles
northwest of Marshfeld, is in ruins.
A fire was discovered in the northwest
corner of Van Hoosear's mill-yard
shortly after noon on the 7th, and be-
fore it could be reached it was beyond
control of the men. The yard is stu
ated along the Central Railway line in
a northwest and southeast direction,
and as the wind blew from the north
west the march of the flames was rapid.
Eleven dwelling houses, one boarding
house, two large barns, two ware
houses, the saw-mill, planning mill, two
car loads of -four, fifty barrels of pork,
5000, 900 feet of lumber and 5,OOO,-
600 of shingles were burned. The loss
will be $4,000, with insurance of
$4,000, placed by Ed. Winchester, of
Dorchester. Sixty men are thrown
out of employment and twenty seven
families left destitute The origin of
the fire is unknown, but it is supposed
to have caught from a freight train
engine. Van Hoosear's mill had q
daily capacity of 10000 feet and has
been running about ten years. His
losses aggregate about 100000. He
will nOC rebuild.

In q very great many households,
the women are of necessity buyers.
The husband provides the cash, the
expenditure is left to the wife. Hence
it behooves q woman to know her
business. To learn to buy iudiciously
should be part of every girls educa-
ton. She should learn the value of
money and the relative value of
goods. The only woman who will not
come to grief in store or grocery is the
one who knows exactly what she
wants and just how much she ought
to pay for it. Otherwise she either
buys what she does not need or pays
too much for that which she does
need

ASKING FOR JUSTICE.
New York Dry Goods Merchants Complain
of Unjust classification.

New York Dry Goods Merchants Complain
of Unjust classification.
NEW YORK, July 1O.-Two years ago
the dry goods merchants of this city
protested against the railroad classif-
cation of cotton goods. The protest
was made to the board of railroad
commissioners, and was unanimously
sustained. The railroads, however,
took no action in the matter, and the
merchants have since done nothing ex-
cept to complain at g. course that
makes it almost impossible for
them to compete with Western
and Southern sellers. The railroads
operating west of Chicago classify cot
ton piece goods, such as calicos, CAM
brics, canton fannels, cottonades, cot
ton prints, dennis, jeans, sheetings,
shirtings, etc., as ffth-class freight.
Eastern railroads classify them as
first class, and it costs New York mer-
chants as much to ship pound of
cotton as silk goods. They say that
they must have relief if they desire to
retain their trade in cotton goods.
A call has been issued for a
meeting at the Merchants Club. on
Tuesday, for the purpose of appoint
ing a committee to take necessary &C.
ton in the matter. The call is signed
by FL. B. Clafin & Co., Bliss, Fabvan &
Co., Tefft, Weller & Co., Sweetser, Penn
broke & Co., Durham, Buckley & Co.
and a number of other prominent
firms. The committee will wait upon
Pool Commissioner Fink and endeav-
or to make him feel about the matter
as merchants do. All they ask, they
claim, is simple justice from the rail
roads

Shocking elimination of Domestic Row
at Grand Rapids.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July 1O.-The
domestic troubles of George w. Chat
terdon, prominent farmer living
north of this city, eliminated last
evening in q homicide, his wife shoot
ing him dead. The pair had been
married for many years, and divorce
proceedings were recently begun in one
of the Grano Rapids courts. Last
evening Mrs. Chatterdon walked
into room, revolver in hand,
where her husband was sitting,
and taking deliberate aim, shot
him in the back. Chatterdon rose to
his feet with an effort, but the next
instant tumbIed in a heap on the floor.
AS he lay writhing from the wound,
his wife coolly leveled the revolver
again and shot him second time, kill
ing him instantly. A crowd soon col
lected at the house and the woman
was taken into custody. Justice
Nash impaneled jury of inquest.
This morning Mrs. Chatterdon was
crying for her husband and children.
She appears completely crazed.

A BIG VERDICT.
The Western Onion Telegraph Company
Lose $40, 900.

The Western Union Telegraph Company
Lose $40, 900.
About year ago the Western Union
Telegraph Company, acting by order
of the court, cut the wires of the
American Rapid Company at New
York, which it had leased, which were
strung to connect with the office of
the Bankers & Merchants Telegraph
Company, and transferred them to a
connection with the Western Union
office. Receiver Farnsworth claimed
that the Western Union had not con-
fined itself to the legal license to cut
the American Rapid wires, but had
also severed the wires of the
Bankers & Merchants Company,
thereby inficting serious damage
upon it, and as an out
growth of this claim began suit against
the Western Union, laying damages at
$2,OOO,OOO. The verdict was reached
on the 10th. The case had been on
trial for twenty-three days, and the
best legal talent that could be pro-
cured in the country has been engaged.
On behalf of Receiver FarnsWorth
there have appeared ex-senator Ros-
cOe Conkling, Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll,
Edward Lauterbach and Henry j..
Schenck. The lawyers for the West
ern Union have been Joseph III.
Choate, ex-Judge John F. Dillon,
Aaron j. Vanderpoel and Melville
Eegleston. The jury rendered YER
dict OF $24O,OOO. The costs will be
enormous.

REMARKABLE verdicts from coron-
ers' iuries have come to be expected,
but now and then specially startling
one is rendered. A coroner's Jury at
Tin cup, Id. t., has gravely concluded
that a noted gambler came to his
death ''from bad workmanship" He
had had the drop on the other man
and had missed and the contempt en-
tertained for him by the Jurors re-
suited in attaching this stigma to his
memory.

amount to $50, 900 for the first

THE notion of British military in
vincibility when dealing with barba-
rians has received some very rude
treatment in the past few years. The
Beers, the Zulus and the Arabs, led
by Gen. Wolseley's friend, the Mahdi,
successfully CLEANED out" the English
troops, and now the Burmese rebels
have driven the red-coats. John

SOUTHERN drinkers have no use for
light liquors. The prohibition law
which went into force in Atlanta, Ca,
permits the sale of domestic wines by
the quart, but the demand for them is
very light. Perhaps, however, the
Atlanta topers may come down to
wines when the big supply of whisky
gives out which they laid in just before
the new law went into effect. Up to
the last moment they carried liquors
home in bottles, kegs, pals, and other
utensils, and it is thought that the
real pinch of prohibition will not be
felt for some time.

the morning of the 10th, Mrs. Deisser, aged
so, who was attending a sick person, and
her son, aged IL, were killed. There were
six other occupants OF the house, but none
were injured.

the Cell Lock.
ALBANY, Ore, July CIV. w. saun-
ders, under Indictment for killing
Charles Campbell, last November, was
convicted, last night. of murder in the
first degree. The judge announced
that he would sentence the prisoner
on Wednesday. This morning the dis
covery was made that he had effected
an escape from the county Jail. Dur
ing his confinement, being given
the liberty of the corridor,
he had sawed off the rivets from the
bolts of the lock of his cell, and re-
placed them with dark wooden ones
which were such close limitations that
the jailer did not suspect the substi-
tuition. It was, therefore, little
trouble, having once gained the corri-
dor, to make his escape. One thou
sand dollars reward has been offered
for his recovery. The sheriff and a
posse are In pursuit.

A RECENT investigator testifies that
only few of the 325 members of the
House wholly abstain from the use of
tobacco. This seems at first glance to
be forcible argument against the to-
bacco habit; but there is room to sus-
pect, on reflection, that said body
would be just as useless if such thing
as tobacco had never been produced
in the world, and so the argument
fails
