The other night Mrs. Carpenter, wife
of the postmaster of Huron. while cooking
at gasoline stove was seriously if not
fatally burned. Her dress and most of
her clothing were burned from her body.
Her hands, face and all the upper por-
tion of her body were terribly burned and
her condition was extremely critical.
EMPoRIA'S creamery has been accepted.
The boys of Leavenworth, in playing
their tricks on Halloween night did more
mischief than they probably anticipated.
They upset and placed piece of sidewalk
near the residence of Samuel Black in
such a position that a person stepping
on it would fall. Miss Black, the
only daughter of the former, proved the
victim, and while crossing it she was
thrown violently to the ground and beside
producing concussion of the brain she re-
ceived other injuries that it was thought
would result in the young lady's death.
FEW lead pencils were used in Kansas
on election day. The voting generally
was straight.
The recent snow storm did considerable
damage to telegraph wires and materially
interfered with the railroads.
A FEW days since Ben Nall, bright and
intelligent young man aged nineteen
years, and James Marshall and John
Seeker, Jr., went hunting south of Leav-
enworth. While looking after some rab-
bits Ben started in advance of the others
when the gun in the hands of one of the
others accidentally went off and the
charge struck Ben in the back and enter
ing the heart killed him almost instantly.
JOHN HENSON, a farmer living near
Atchison, committed suicide while in fit

20 The Illinois Staats Zeitung, a paper
which has great influence among the Ger
mans of the West and Northwest, has been
Republican heretofore. But it will not sup
port the Republican party this fall. The
Boutelle resolution with its glittering
generalties about "virtue and sobriety" has
disguised the managers of the Staats Zeitung.
1t believes that the Boutelle resolution was
nothing more nor less than bid for the
Prohibition vote," and declares that the
Germans of the Western States are not will
ing to accept a platform which encourages
any movement to deprive them of their right
to determine for themselves what they will
eat, or drink, or wear. The Staats Zeituno
believes that the Republican party has out
lived its usefulness, and that after next fall il
will go to pieces like its ancestor, the old
Wing party.

% The Signal of last week in referring to
our article under the caption of potatoes
and Protection" indulges in dose of quint-
escence of double distilled misrepresentati
1t says potatoes never reached the price Of
$2.40 last winter. We spoke Of the winter or
spring, and any person who will call on
Bradley he will find that potatoes were. by
him, sold at $40. In about one week the
price was reduced to $500. Let the doubtor
inquire of Fisk. We did not say that pota-
toes were held by the producer, but did say
that the producer was compelled to sell in
order to procure the necessaries OF life. It
was the speculator who held for the purpose
Of extorting, and after the new potatoes were
shipped here from the South, long before it
was anticipated, any dealer will tell that
plenty of old ones turned up for sale. A
very little inquiry will enable any person to
obtain the names of at least few who at
tempted the corner. The Signal tries to get
rid Of the 10 cent tariff by saying that pota-
toes were stolen at the custom house. This
is pap too thin for even infants. An attempt
is then made to avoid the force Of our arti-
Gle by saying that it shows the farmer as well
as the manufacturer and lsborer to be "pro
tected." He, perhaps, is as well protected
as the laborer, but the manufacturer! Oh,
Jovei The farmer gets no protection. Once
in century it may become necessary to i'm
port potatoes, and our farmers, in hundred
years might get few cents protection"
but his poor neighbor who must buy pays
tens Of dollars for every cent this farmer
might receive.
We thank the Signal for publishing our
articlein full. We will give II some more
editorials-they improve it's columns greatly.

- Ths Daaancs Express says the Rspub-
lieaas are IN fAsoE Of taking ths taritf OF o.
sugar. Nothing is farther from the truth,
and In substantistion We refer TO the Repub-
lican platform. which reads:
''We favor the entire repeal Of the internal
taEes rather than the surrender Of any part OF
our protective system" n Z -
They would rather have free vhiskey and
tobacco than cheap clothing and necessaries
oflife. That is just what they say. Internal
taxes are levied on vhiskey, tobacco and
bogus batter, while the tariff Is tax upon
most every article Of necessity, and especial
~ those articles consumed by the poor. They
would flavor the entire repeal of the internal
taxes" which means the tax ON whisky,
tobacco and bogus butter, "rather than the
surrender of any part of our protective
system" which means keep the war taxes
npon clothing and other necessities Of life.
The Express had better look over its party
platform and record before it makes more
such outrageous assertions. II places itself
in a Ridiculous light with well informed peo-
pie, and such untruthful statements If they
are persisted in will soon establish for It q
record for lying seldom attained.

W-Old Capt. Isaac Bassett, the assistant
doorkeeper of the Senate, who has served the
Senate for tifty-eight years, will be delighted
If Judge Thurman becomes President of the
Senate. In the old days, when most of the
Senators took snuff, they kept Capt. Bassett's 8
box 30 depleted that he had two boxes of
snuff fixed to the wall near the door for their
use. Year by year the number of Senators
who sauntered up to take pinch diminished.
At last Senator Thurman became the only
regular patron, although Senator Hoar
and Senator johnson, of Virginia, would oc-
casionally delight the old doorkeeper's heart
by taking pinch for sociability's sake.

.BThe Defiance Cypress, in commenting
upon our assertion that the Republican party
favored free whisky and dear clothing, and
free tobacco and dear sugar, overdoes itself
in its attempts at misstatements. The Dem
ocratic party is in favor of lessening the duty
on all necessaries of life, and to this end the
Mills bill placed sugar on the free list, and if
this could not be had then to correct the pres
ent inequalities of the sugar tariff, which dis
eliminates in favor of the higher grades of
sugar of Cuba to the detriment of the cheap
or grades which come from the West Indies.
The whole legislation of the Republican party
for the past twenty years and over has been
in favor of the rich as agaist the poor, and it
is this discrimination which Mr.. Cleveland,
through the Democratic party, is trying to
correct. He has taken determined stand in
this, his party has taken it up and adopted it
as its platform, and the people will give it
their sanction next November by increasing
President Cleveland's term in Office by four
years. Taxes must be reduced!

q In one breath the Signal says the tariff
chedpens salt, and in another that it raises
the price of wool! The Signals logic is de-
fective, but its the same old thing with the
Republicans-cry anything to gain votes and
hoodwink the people. But the trouble with
the Republican party to-day is, the people
amt so easily hoodwinked as formerly. They
have learned that under low tariff the mon

Natures Freak in an Ohio Farmers
FIock-A Lamb with Fangs
and Feet Like n Dog.

STRovERToN, o., July 1O.-A most
remarkable freak of nature is reported
from the farm of George Sevingle, who
lives near this place. He has among a
flock of sheep lamb over two months
old, which has the nose and feet of a
dog, but is in all other respects sheep.
Instead of having the ordinary teeth of
the sheep kind, the animals mouth,
both upper and lower jaws, is filed with
long and sharp wolf-like fangs, render
ing it extremely difficult to pick grass
as other sheep. Consequently it pre-
fers to chew and masticate twigs and
shrubs. 1t is regarded as one of the
greatest curiosities ever seen in this
neighborhood.
