BURNED no DEATH:

The Fulda Republican gives the fol-
lowing facts relating to the horrible
death of Miss Hancock. This time it
was not gasoline nor kerosene but sim
pie, common lard. When such horrors
can occur right in ones own kitchen,
there is no safety anywhere:
Last week we gave short account
of the terrible fate of Miss Bertha Han
cock, but as it was not correct In many
Of the details, we give 1t corrected this
week:
About 7:3O O'Clock last Wednesday
morning, while Miss Bertha Hancock,
aged 18 years, was preparing breakfast,
the meat in frying pan caught fire,
and while removing it from the stove
the fire caught her clothing and before
her mother. who was in An adjoining
room, could 90 to her assistance she
was completely enveloped in flames,
and not until nearly every particle oi
clothing was burned from her body was
it possible to extinguish them. Dr..
Rewalt was called at once and pro.
nounced the case hopeless, but did ev-
erything possible to allay the pain OF
the suffering young lady, who lived un-
til 8 O'Clock in the afternoon, when she
passed peacefully and quietly away
During the lew hours of her suffering
she seemed not to think of her own
condition, but to concern herself con-
tinuaAy for her friends about her.

THE REpURLICAN TICKET.

THE HEPUBLICAN 1lCAEl.
The Republican State Convention,
which met ut St. Paul on Tuesday of
last week did not reach a nomination
until Thursday. 1t then nominated
the following ticket, Merriam being
nominated on the fourth formal ballot
For GovernOr-W. r. Merriam.
For Lieut.. GOvernOr-A. E. Rice
For Secretary of Statc-Ilans Matt
For Attorney General-Moses E
Clapp.
For State Treasurer-Col. Joseph
Bobleter.
For Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court-James Giltillan.
For Associate Justice L. w. Collins
The present incum Dents were renom
mated with the exception of Govern
or McGill. 1t is one of those unkind
cuts which parties are in the habit OF
making, dropping a faithful leading
official and complimenting minor
officials with a denomination.
Merriam is undoubtedly an able
man, of more than ordinary executive
ability, aud will have but one weight
to carry. viz. the charge of ''boodle
campaign" and of having bought his
nomination. This in New York State,
would probably defeat him, for a SINH
lar charge against the methods Of Fol-
GERS friends defeated him, but it will
not avail so much in Minnesota. The
same devotion of friends aud the same
"bArrtl" which nominated Merriam
will probably give him triumphant
election

A SA.MPLE PROHIBITIONINT.

DR.. Brooks. the Prohibition candi.
date for Vice President, having denied
his Decater, Illinois, speech, the city
editor of the Decater Republican, who
reported the speech, comes forward and
makes affidavit that the speaker used
the following language:
Il have lived in the South and own
e'l slaves there. sympathized with the
South and prayed for the success Of
the Confederate cause, but my prayers
were not answered. have been Dem
ocrat, but, thank God, have never
been u Republican. Twill never have
that sin to answer for"
DR.. Brooks is also, we believe, a
preacher. He IS a fit man to be the
leader of the Church and State party.
By-the-way, how the preachers do get
their foot into it when they get into
politics. Instead of the three ''Rs''
it is now three "Bs,'' Ball, Burchard
and Brooks. Ball, the blackguarder
Of Cleveland; Burchard, who drove
the Catholic vote from Blaine and
Brooks, the rebel, who goes about
bOasting of his treason.

Mr.. KNIGHTS CANDIDACY,

We are in receipt Of a letter from J.
T. Mcknight, independent candidate
for County Auditor, taking issue with
our view of his candidacy as expressed
in our last issue. OF course, Mr..
Mcknight has perfect right to make
the canvas and if certain contingencies
should arise, he might be elected. Our
objection to his running is the apprehen-
sion that he will merely help E. s.
Mills, that chronic sucker of the Pub
lie Cow, to another term, which would
be, altogether, FIVE terms and a half.
He is now riding in his own carriage
and cannot plead poverty and general
dilapidation to help him this time. But
In the multiplicity of candidates, lie
may slip in again on plurality, that
is, quite q minority of the peoples
votes. 1t should be remembered that
Mills had only 5S8 votes out of 1885,
polled at the last election, so that he
is Auditor with qnite majority of the
people against him. This is due to the
plurality rule, and this may occur again.
Mr.. Mcknight knows his own
business, and we do not presume to
rebuke or advise, we only give our view
of the matter. If he can take the vote
which two years ago went to Mills, well
and good. II not, i'll and bad.
We will say one thing for Mr.. Nc
Knight. He settled in Olney in
1872 among the first in the county and
has stuck through all the drawbacks
There is q craze for taking up new men
who have scarcely got their washing
away from the last place they left. but,
other things being equal, old settlers
should have precedence. AS to Mr.
McKnight's qualifications for Auditor,
the letter he writes US is the best spec
linen Of penmansi,ip, spelling, punctu-
alton and composition, We have receiv.
ed for many a day.
We wish that men who intend to vote
for Mills would come to our office and
see specimens Of Mills papers as com
pared with McKnight's. If they don Y
''roar'' and admit. as we do for ourself
that they have been fooled and fools
for sticking to Mills so long, then we
will treat the county to the apples.
Yours for fair play. fair count, aud
q full hearing.
