at the railroad crossing near Mound

a highway robber, who stepped out

have none" The man then seized
him and pulled him from his horse.
Bunch struck at the robber three
times, but did not know where he
hit him as it was all done in the
dark. Bunch soon heard the click
of a revolver and Immediately two
shots were fred taking effect in the
arm. Then the robber seized him
by the throat and choked him unit
he was insensible and then robbed
him of watch and chain worth $50
and S11.50 in money. The citizens
are much excited and are securing
the country.

WOULDN'T GRANT THE WRIT.
The ST Clair County Judges Will Re
.naiil in jail. for the Present at
Least.

Il Ill. United States court Tues
day Judge hrekel refused to grant
a writ Of hAboas corpus for the re-
lease Of the Imprisoned st. Clair
countv il 5.s-~. Messrs. Lucas and
W., .'.-., ape r1d for the petitioners,
an. John Il. Overall and J. NJ. Lew
.>,.. =. ty.:~. resisted the peti-
to.
The ioiuc WAS argued and relied
upon by council for plaintiffs that
The wit should be granted because
tie Judges were held in contempt of
the federal court for refusing to
make tax levy prohibited under
penalty by the state law.
The court held this to be invalid
on the grounds that the state, by
constitutional or Legislative acts, has
no authority to curtail the julisdic-
ton Of federal courts. This leaves the
judges between the devil and the deep
sea. If they comply with the order of
the federal court they are liable to
indictment in the state court, and if
they refuse (Which they have) to
obey the mandate of the federal
court they are in contempt of that
tribunal.
After Judge krekel denied the
writ of habeas corpus the counsel
for petitioners made application fo1
appeal to the United States supreme
court, which was also denied, on the
ground that the case was not enti
tied to an appeal. The attorneys
say, however, that original proceed
ings will be commenced before the
supreme court.

How do We make kaleidoscopes?
Come this way and I will show you"
The speaker, thin-faced German.
long engaged in manufacturing
kaleidoscopes, led the way into a
small store. At work bench extend
ing the entire length of the shop many
girls were busy
"The first young woman" said the
manufacturer, wraps the black paper
about the glass reflectors that produce
the optical illusion. These strips of
glass, when thus arranged and fastened
together, form the body of the
kaleidoscope. The next girl simply
inserts the united refectors into
the pasteboard cover and then
passes the octagonal pasteboard
tube to her neighbor. Num-
Der three adjusts the brass ring which
secures the glass discs in the end. Be-
tween the discs. or plates, are placed
the scraps of colored glass. the beads
and various trinkets which tumble
about as the Kaleidoscope is revolved.
| and when reflected by the mirrors form
themselves into ever-shifting mathe-
matical figures. The other young
| women are armed with hammers to
break the colored glass into fragments
We obtain the colored glass from the
waste scraps purchased very cheaply
of stained-glass manufactures The
kaleldoscopes retail at seventy-ive
cents each. We can make six gross q
day of this kind, and about twenty
cross of the five-cent kind The finest
factory is in Providence, R L Carpet

The Noble old Roman.

asF1s s
 MT Thurman in public lfs sstands for sterling integrity Througn0nt his h;. long o's cerity or his honesty His name means principles and ideas. Although seventy -four years of age and although relegated to obscurity five years ago. he is today the very hope and inspiration of the Dem ocratic masses. Twice has the party or eanization in his state of Ohio discarded him when choosing a United States sen .ator. Three years ago, when the new Democratic administration was being made up, he was thought to De too old for cabinet position or even g foreign mis- sion. Not long ago he described himself as entirely out of poitics-as an old man standing on the shores of the river Styx waiting for the ferryman.
 Today we have the Democrats lighting the fires on the hill tops throughout the land in his name. In ten days he has been rejuvenated and brought to the front. His red handkerchief is the standard tc which the clans rally. His name is used to conjure with and to call the gray boards from the caves. And why7 Because everybody knows that Alen e. Thurman is an incorruptible man; that he has ren. dered public service for the honor that came to duty publicly performed; that he never sacrificed his principles, and that partisan as he is, he can be trusted at aI] times to defend the rights of the people

All Along the Line.

The Republican managers will not be permitted to put all their energies, all their money and all their campaigners into New York state this fall. They will have serious business demanding their attention elsewhere. Their utmost en- deavor will be needed to keep Illinois from slipping into the Democratic col umn, and 1t is doubtful If even that can do it. They themselves look upon the situation in Michigan as fairly desperate. and their best talent will be called upon for fierce struggle there. Minnesota, strange as 1t may seem, has grown so rest i've under Republican rule that no little anxiety is felt with regard to her. Oregon, Colorado. Nevada and California are all doubtful quantities.; and each of them will witness spirited and aggressive contest on the part of the Democrats and stubborn defense on the part of the Re- publicans. Indiana, New Jersey and Con- necticut we claim as our property and propose to keep them. In short, fighting for the first time in twenty eight years from the vantage ground of possession, the party can afford to take the offensive; and that it proposes to do. It's guns will open in sharp earnest all along the line; and, unless all present signs fail, the victories of the final combat of the second Tuesday in November will show no loss of any state that we carried in 1884, and the gain of many that we did not then carry.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-06-21

THE rumpus between Malone and Wise in the little back room of the republican national convention, which almost resulted in bloodshed, was feature not down on the bills, and the peacemakers tried hard to avoid giving publicity to the affair. But as usual the wicked reporter was there and refused to suppress the matter. We are sorry our republican friends cannot dwell together in harmony. A house divided against itself is sure to fall. The want of unity in convention, where the names of Malone, Wise and Riddleberge1 are mentioned in the same breath would be apparent without drop of blood being spilled and the passage at arms between the contending factions of old Virginis only makes more public the dissensions in the ranks Here's state of affairs to avoid which the grand old party should have made some provision. Malone, who is Sherman man, has the faculty of mak. ing himself nuisance, and should have been retired from political prominence long ago. His presence in the convention has contaminating effect. Just why such men as Malone and Riddleberge1 have been honored and petted by the re. publican party we have never been quite able to understand. Perhaps, and we say it boldly, our enthusiastic and silent friend Morrow can explain.
