The mistake is more frequently

West Virginia Congressman seem
to be causing quite a little commo-
ton in the political world this week.
Little Mr.. Wilson, of the Second dis
trict, delivered a speech Tuesday, in
reply to the bloody shirt howl of
Henderson, of Iowa, which is said to
be in floresence of expression the
most brilliant speech made in the
present Congress, while it equals

ing from the lips of the speaker him

The 9th inst. IateHigencer says:
Miss Jennie Smith, of Mountain
Lake Park, the well known railroad
evangelist, revivalst and Temperance
worker, was in the city for several
hours yesterday morning, leaving
in the afternoon for Glenwood and
Lakewood, on the Pittsburg or
Hempfeld division of the Baltimore
d Ohio road, where large shops are
located and where she is to spend
two weeks working among the men.
From those places she goes to Nc
Keesport, and after closing her work
at that place it is probable that she
will come to Wheeling and spend
two or three weeks here. A number
of ladies and gentlemen are now try
ing to arrange for her coming here,
and it was for the purpose of talking
with them that Miss Smith stopped
here yesterday In case she comes
she will hold noon services every day
in the mills, shops and yards, wher-
ever she can get permission to adj
dress the men, and in some one of
the numerous churches she will hold
evening services. In addition there
will be special afternoon and morn
ing services. A revival spirit seems
to have been abroad in the land at
other places. Miss Smith has met
with great success in intensifying
and bringing about manifestations
of this spirit She is plain, unaf-
fected little person, and seldom fails
to carry conviction in her remarks.
The story Of her life adds an interest
to her that tends to attract people,
and attracted, they listen to her
teaching.

absolutely necessary to the perfect

Lewis Coberly, prominent Demo
cratic politician and large property
owner, of Randolph county, at the
opening of the war went into the
Confederate army, and in battle re-
ceived wound in the head, which
has since produced occasional men
tai disturbances. Recently he be-
came violently insane and was con
fined in Jail until his transfer to the
asylum could be arranged for. A
few days ago his dead body was
found in Jail, the head having been
completely burned off. The fact
that all his clothing above the waist
was removed and fender turned on
its side to give his shoulders rest
ing place leaves no inference possible
but that Coberly deliberately placed
his head in the open CRATE in his
room and sought this frightful
death.

to make his mark if he lives and

the peer Of any gentleman on the
floor of the House in point Of oratory
and classical diction. His nomina-

their way, and marked the man both
a scholar and brilliant orator who

CROP REPORTS.
Favorable Indications Throughout
Western and Middle states.

CHICAGO, May 24.-The following
crop summary will appear in this
weeks issue of the Farmers Review:
Crop bulletins from spring and winter
wheat belts east of the Rocky Noun
tains show no especial change from
that of last week, beyond the fact that
serious damage reported by chinch
bugs in portions of Kansas and south
ern Illinois,. In Bond, Richland and
Hamilton counties, Illinois. ravages by
these insects are reported quite SER
ious, and the general outlook in that
portion of the state is not as promising
as one month ago. In johnson and
Osborn counties the Hessian fly and
chinch bug are reported to be causing
great injury in fields which escaped
winter killing: In Allen and Wyan-
dotte counties in Ohio, the presence of
grasshoppers is noted, but not in such
numbers yet as to occasion any serious
damage. Reports of damage to grow
ing grain by recent heavy rain storms
come from portions of Ohio, Iowa and
Nebraska. Reports from Dakota and
Minnesota as, to spring wheat pros
poets are of the most encouraging
character. Plant is. growing nicely
and the conditions are all favorable
for good stand. In Nebraska
small grains are just beginning
to show and are looking well.
Reports from Iowa embrace eighteen
counties and prospects as to wheat and
corn continues very good. Reports
from Indiana are all of favorable
tenor. 1t is declared in general way
that a finer growth of vegetation was
probably never before known in that
state at this season of the year. In
Missouri. Kentucky and Tennessee,
harvest will begin fully ten days earlier
than usual, wheat in the fields of these
three states is reported to be heading
out finely. The wheat prospects in
Michigan shows no improvement over
former reports. Prospect is not good
for anything more than fair crop.

the time comes that DakOta's voice is

advancement will find themselves set

And now it is Blaine and ex-senator
Gordon, of Georgia, who are to make
up the ticket for 1883. A Washington
correspondent says:
Gen. Gordon is now running for gov
ernor of Georgia, and is making very
active canvass of that state. Gordon
has long had theory that it was pos
sible to destroy the present political
condition of the south, and build up a
new party of progress in that section
to be- composed Of the younger and
more progressive men. The story is to
the effect that Gordon proposes to
head a movement whose platform shall
he the Industrial development Of the
south and protection of American in
dustries; that he has been in consulta-
ton with MIR. Blaine. and that the two
have a perfect Understanding. Cor
don's opponent for governor is one OF
the old Bourbon type. II Gordon fails
the scheme will very naturally fall
through, but if he succeeds something
interesting may b. looked for. 2

The Defiance Line.

Sioux City Journal, %: The Milwau-
kee grading contracts were not let yes
terday as was expected. The reason
for this is that Gen. Miller and Chief
Engineer Kimbal did not arrive in
Milwaukee in time. 1t twill be remem-
bered that these gentlemen passed
through Sioux City Friday, going from
here to Scotland, then on to Mitchell
and later to Aberdeen, SO that they
could not have reached Milwaukee un-
til last evening at the earliest. The
bids on the work were all in Thursday,
and probably Monday, if the party
above mentioned goes directly home,
the entire line will be let and active
preparations begin at once.
Engineer Reed informed Journal
reporter last evening that although the
line had always been called the "Def-
ance line" the final survey did not in
fact run within number of miles of
Defiance. The connection with the
main line will be made about one and
a half miles east of Astor, the first
station east of Defiance. This change
was made in order to shorten the route
to Chicago,a and while itnecessitates the
building of nearly eight miles more of
track than would be required to strike
the main line at Defiance, yet there is
an actual saving in the distance be-
tween Sioux Falls and Chicago of
something over five miles.

So n . thing Nice for Travellers.
fChicago Herald

A new invention now being put on the
market is a head-rest for travellers. IL
consists of plush cushion hung upon
strong white wires, and SO made that fe
fits over the top of the seat-back. Upon
this soft, shapely cushion the tired traveller
may rest his weary head without getting
cramps in his bones and stopping the cir
culation in his veins, as is invariably the
case when man "scrooges" down into
car seat in order to rest the back of his
head upon the upholstering. The con-
trivance car he taken apart in half a min
ute and packed away in grip Or coat
pocket. By its use every traveller may
carry his bed with him, and that without
paying two or three good dollars to q
sleeping car company for the privilege Of
breathing the bad air on their coaches and
dreaming Of his mothers feather pillows
during few unhappy hours OF the night.
