(sire of second dam of Maud S., POS and
of Jay Eye See, 2:10) Second dam by
Revenue, by Trustee, the first horse
who trotted twenty miles less than one
hour
BAY WILKES is one of the finest look
ing horses in the state, and his colts are
of the very highest finish; are all about
10 hand horses when fully matured;
nearly all bay and trotters. He has
three colts in Kentucky that have au-
thenticated trials as follows:
Hot Box, as a feur-year-old, -2:27
BILLY WILKES
ASHLAND MAID -2:31t
These are out of lot of five colts; up
to 1885 he never made season in the
stud, and had to that time only five liv-
ing colts, as good showing as any stall
lion in the country can show
BAY WILKES is 15a hands high and
weighs ITO pounds his colts are good
for the track, farm, carriage, gentle
mems drivers, or any other use you
may wish. At the fee propose to let
you use Bay Wilkes he costs you no
more than the inferior class of horses so
numerously offered to the public. A
Bay Wilkes colt at three or four years
old is worth not less than $500, and up
TO 5000. Never before had the farm
ers of Van Buren, county and the state
a chance to use such great horse as
Bay Wilkes at the low fee of S25 90 for
the season.

and as sound as a new silver dollar,
best disposition of any horse / ever saw.
A good note due in six months, with
out interest, will be taken as pay for
the season services. Should the mare
not prove in foal in 1888 can be returned
free in 1889.

POSITIONS FOR TEACHERS.
Applications Received and Granted by
the School Board


The School Board last night decided
not to change the name of the High
School to the "Paul High School," as
requested by the pupils and graduates
of that institution, for the reason that
under its present name it has issued
hundreds of diplomas and that the nomen-
clature of the schools should be perma-
nent. The change was suggested in
honor of the late Principal Paul oil the
High School.
Applications for situations as teachers
were received from Misses Grace Garriott,
S. Rulison, Amanda Street, Lizzie Lewis,
Mary Il. Hughes, Bertha A. Chase, Mary
E. Welsh, Elizabeth Mason and Maggie
S. Wolhaupter, and Messrs. j. w. Rob-
ertson, Harry B. Renfro and Charles G.

ceived from b. F.. Knirr and II. J. Bar
ton. Miss Mary W. Prather and Miss b.

that she could mo longer endure the
tyrannical conduct of Trustee ]. r.
Francis and the artful persecution insti-
tuted by Mr.. II. p. Montgomery.

N. Neston, j. A. Chamberlain and j. +.
Macnab, teachers of carpentry in the

IDENTIFIED AND HANDSOME.
How General Sheridan Escaped from
an Embarrassing Situation.

How General Sheridan Escaped from
an Embarrassing Situation.
When you hear of the impending death
Of any person, especially of celebrity,
your mind rocurs at once to the last time
you saw him. Therefore, the writer
thinks of General Sheridan as he appeared
at a small social gathering in Fifth ave-
nue. one evening last winter 1t was i'm
part an assemblage of Ohio men, with
some connection or other with the forma-
ton of the Ohio Club, with which Gen
eral Sheridan and other sons of Ohio were
interested. OF course, Sherman and Sheri-
dan were the lions of the night, and they
were admired and petted great deal by
the ladies, especially by half dozen girls
from Madam Reeds school, the institu-
ton from which Rose Elizabeth Cleve-
land has just retired as an instructress.
Sherman Is famous for kissing girls
at every proper opportunity, and,
although there may have been some ex
aggerated accounts of his doings i'm that
line, it is fact that his fatherly kissei
are apt to be bestowed upon good provo.
cation The school girls did not dissem.
BILE their interest in the two warriors, but
gazed ON them after the manner of the
csthetic maidens at Grosvenor i'm "Pa-
ticnce." Sherman bore II with adaman-
tine fortitude, and even seemed to enjoy
IL, but Sheridan seemed different and
rather i'll at case under the ordeal of adult
alton. After a while, a matron pre-
sented her daughter to Sherman. He
took her hand, and said, 81 am very glad
TO know you"
"0h, the gladness is all on the part of
my daughter, am sure" said theeilus-
i've dame. "Now General, if you would
give her one of those celebrated kisses"
Sherman needed no further invitation.
He kissed the not unwilling girl with
loud smack on the cheek. There was
some laughter and well-bred exolama-
tOns at this, and Sherman turned to Sher-
idon, introducing the very pretty recipi-
ent Of his kiss.
"Now, General Sheridan" said gem
tleman, 'you surely won't let Sherman
get an advantage of YOU"
Sheridan had to kiss the girl or run.
There was no alternative. She stood de-
murely ready for the contact. He red
dened visibly, and then, instead of kiss
ing the girl on the cheek, as Sherman had
done, he lifted her hand to his lips. It
was something ofa disappointment to the
spectators, If not to the girl, but IL was
digniiied and handsome.

A Chance to Make $1,000.

EDITOR CRITIC By the best authority
in your city am informed that 1t is not
only impossible or man to logalize
wrong, but for stolen property time and
eternity are too short to secure valid
title. Many years ago both men and
women were stolen, and by this Govern.
until the increase was numbered by mil
lions. Now if the man lives who can
make 1t appear that those people (now in
our midst) are not justly entitled to pay
for all services rendered while in bond
age, also for all maltreatment, and full
damages according to law) for false im-
others, desire to not only see HIM, but
will pay one thousand dollars for the IN
formation. Il. $. SNIDER.

A Chicnro Incident.

In Chicago, on Friday last, while Mr..
Murray, young and fashionably dressed
man, was leaning upon the showcase of
cigar store IN the Adams Express building
intently engaged in writing a note, he
was approached from behind by Mr..
James Bell, who quickly cut Off large
portion of one of his ears. Mr.. Bell, it
seems, retired in good order with the
piece of ear in his grasp, while Mr.. Muir
ray, the victim, quickly thrust the note he
had been writing into his pocket, and
also departed. Subsequently several mes
sengers were dispatched to Mr.. Bell by
Mr.. Murray's physician, with request
for the immediate return of the segment
of ear belonging to his patient in order
that 1t might be replaced and induced to
reunite itself with the disfigured member
Mr.. Bell, however, was obdurate, and in
stead of acceding to the request cut the
ear up into small bits and threw the
pieces away. The charge against Murray
Is that he had paid improper addresses to
Mrs. Bell. Murray's friends are unani-
nous in defending his character, and
condemn Bells action.

wnERE THE MONEY GOES.
A Good Deal oft squandered Along the
Mississippi River.

Mississippi River.
How to improve and how not to inn
prove the Mississippi River Is thus sens-
bly, discussed by the Labor Adcocdic, q
newspaper published at Fordyce, Ark.
In its issue of June IL says: "That the
Mississippi River has been i'm the past a
continued drain on the public treasury,
both in appropriations and expensive leg
islation IN procuring the appropriations,
stands on record both IN Washington and
in the minds of the people that have
footed the bills. That the money already
expended, if it had been applied in the
right direction, and economically used,
would have placed the Mississippi
to-day beyond danger from floods save
in an ice gorge on the upper Missis-
sippi, and made 1t navigable for
boats of the largest size, from ST. Louis
TO the Gulf. Reason alone teaches, and
the experience of old steamboat captains
confirm that, as long as the Mississippi IS
left IN the hands of Government COM
mission that have no interest in the mat
ter farther than to prolong their job and
draw their salaries, we need not expect
any eilectual work TO be done.
Surveys prove that by making outlets
the flood flow of water can be shortened
fully 800 miles below Vicksburg and the
current increased so that sand bars and
distractions to navigation could not form.
A still greater gain in distance would be
made by Strengthening the river from
Vicksburg to st. Louis. The increase i'm
current and decrease in distance TO flow
would, of course, deepen the channel.
The lowering of the river would give n
free outlet to all its tributaries, their cur
rents would be increased, their channels
deepened, and vast amounts of land on
the tributaries reclaimed, new and rich
fields for agriculture be opened perma-
nently, free navigation insured at all
times, and the Mississippi and her trb-
utary valleys would supply the worlds
market direct from lhe, farm. We
spread blankets of brush, loaded with
stone, drive piles and build levees till
doomsd0y, and each successive flood will
take them out and deposit them in new
bars lower down, that will obstrlct
navigation. The only means by which
certain navigation can be obtained Is by
Strengthening the channel; 1t will deepen
itself.
The experience of Holland in dykeing
the Rhine is what we will see in future
ON the Mississippi If we continue to levy.
The bed of the river will continue to fill
up, levees will continue to build higher,
and if they do give way in the future, the
whole country below the break will be
sea of desolahon.
II was estimated that S50,00O,0O0 would
straighten the channel and improve navi-
CATION for ocean steamers to st. Louis.
One-fifth of that amount has been eX-
pended on the river since that estimate
was made, and scarce vestige now re-
mains. How long will the nations
money continue to be squandered in this
wpyP
