We learn that short time ago the
widow and children of Columbus Car.
ter were visited at midnight by mask
ed men and with their household
goods moved out into the road. This
is in keeping with the rest of that
infamous business. The same spirit
that will prompt man to ambush his
enemy and shoot him in the back is q
worthy characteristic of the bastard
who makes midnight war on defense
less women and children.
The yellow fever plague still con.
tinues its deadly work in the South.
They have had slight frost and the
situation at Jacksonville was reported
yesterday to be somewhat more hope
full. A Texas florist named Radaman
claims to have discovered remedy in
q microbe killer and offers to enter the
yellow fever district, and can cure in
from fifteen minutes to one hour any
case. Memphis though BADLY scared
is still clear of the disease.
As will be seen by announcement in
another column, o. T. Northrup has
sold bis dry goods business to his
brother F. A. Northrup. Lion" has
conducted the business for ten or
twelve years, and has been very sue
cessful. He has fully sustained the
high reputation established by his
father, of the old and reliable house,
and has made for himself an enviable
reputation as a business man. He has
thousands of friends who will be sorry
to know he has stepped out Of the har-
ness. The new proprietor is an exper-
fenced dry goods man, and it is un.
necessary to say will keep the BUSH
ness fully up to its present high stand
ard.
A street fakir spent several days in
town this week, taking in the nickels
and the crowd, with cheap John goods
and lots of talk. He blocked the streets
and annoyed the business men and
everybody else, and probably carried
away considerable money that would
otherwise have been spent with the
merchants of the town, or paid to
them for goods already bought, and
all for about four dollars day paid to
the city. We believe in the home
market for our home people, for the
men who pay the bills and keep the
town going. And that an outfit like
this should be made to put up at rate
that would either amount to some
thing to the city or keep the fellows
awav.
Here is a little political nut that
ought to be cracked wide open. One
c. c. Thompson got up petition to
have himself appointed postmaster at
Elsinore in Allen county. He failed in
getting the office. But being bound
to have post Office, it is claimed that
he took the Elsinore petition ready
signed, cut off the head and put Savon-
burg on it, and sent it on to Washing
ton and got the appointment of post
master at Savonburg. Many of the
petitioners on the Elsinore petition
were not patrons of the Savonburg Of
flee, but Notwithstanding that 254 of
the actual patrons of that office remon-
strated against Thompson's appoint
ment, he got the Office and is now in
charge of it. This is the way they used
to carry elections in the early days in
Kansas by bogus names; but the GUS
tom ought not to prevail under this
reform administration. Mr.. Thomp-
son passes at Washington as a demo-
