The Herald man has very proper
IL abandoned his attempt to pull
down 70 mis- characters less level, the
three county commissioners. He
has seen that his blaekmail battery
has as little effect upon them as
the excavations Of q mole has upon q
mountain. Besides he has male
public his native dishonesty and his
own constituencies. 10 can be said Of
him As it was said OF another: "he
knows as much about honesty as the
scarlet woman knew Of the Immae-
ulate conception"
When taken before Justice Harris,
Of WestpOrt, yesterday, Perry Nor
ton, eolored, entered n plea OF guilty
70 the charge OF bigamy, and in de-
fault Of bond in the sum Of $500 he
was committed to the county iail.
He was arrested Saturday upon
complaint Of his wife, Mary, who
resides in Westport. She charged
that ne had married Nellie Smith,
Of Sedalia, after having secretly
welded her. Morton also admits
having another wife in Saliua, Kas.

MOllie Davis Was arrested last
week at White City. Morris county,
for the murder Of Willie Terbush,
which occurred at Coneordia last
summer, and she has been conveyed
10 the latter place for trial. IL
charged that she had some trouble
with Terbush In a dance house and
threatened TO kill him. On the
other hand she claims she did not
know him aud was miles away at the
time Of the terrible affair. MOllie IL
n woman Of unsavory reputation.
The people Of Sallna-where Willie
Terbush formerly resided, would be
pleased to know that his murderer
had been apprehended.
The Hcruld's three column article
headed Beautiful Salina" publish
ed last evening Is very dear and
old friend. Il Is somewhat an
tiquated on account of age, but may
be said % be- in the ring and capable
Of doing valiant duty. Ii appeared
in the DAILY JOURNAL on the 18th
Of last August under the caption OF
'Salina the Solid" Il was q most
capable production OF Mr.. Leubrie,
the correspondent Of the Chicago
THfor-OcC0H, aud was produced from
that paper Al t:lat time the mat
tiers furnished were very descriptive
and we're tersely gwen. but after
these six months they seem some
what out Of joint. The Herald
ought to have accommodated the ar
ticle IL the progress which has been
made i'm that time, or at least have
given proper credit.
There is some complaint up IN
Lincoln county because tle commits
siOners ofthat county have employed
Hon. T.. +. Carver Ia assist the cOun-
ty attorney in the prosecution Of the
Pat CleaIy murder case. Defending
the act Of the commissioners, the
Lincoln Beacon says:
The greatly prevailing sentiment,
as we hear IL expressed, is that the
commissioners acted judfeiOusly in
securing aid for the county attorney
and that IL would be a waste OF
money to secure any but first-clsss
ability, and that cannot he secured
without pay. In the ChilsOn- Head
case in Saline county the commits
siOners Of that county employed J.
X. Burton, Of Dickinson county,
and paid him $500 for his services
and that case was of no greater inn
por:ance than this, and no attorney
in the state stands higher than Mr.
Carver. The present board has 8
precedent for its action i'm a prior
murder case where the then existing
board appropriated $3.50 for assist
ance for the county attorney. We
think the action OF the commission
ers in this case meets with the hearty
approval Of a majority Of the tax
payers Of the county.
Probably no taxpayers are more
interested in the welfare Of the cOun-
ty than the three county commits
sioners. They are gentlemen Of
means, each paying a considerable
Of money for taxes upon
their property, and will not do any
thing against the financial interest
of the county. The gibberish pub
lished in the Herald yesterday is
only making friends for them.
Some Of the best friends of the Her
1id land Davis has very few now
admit that Davis has made an asa of
himself ia the county printing mat
er. One says he's "a baby" an-
lther "he's gone clean crazy" an
,ther zone who is very near the "Da-
lis thronc'') mildly puts It: "he is
very foolish in this mat
er." To read yesterdays article
when he pathetically says: "No
yonder anarchism, nihilism," ETC.,
PREVAILS in this country, ETC., (all on
recount Of the disposition Of the
.ounty printing! the natural inclina-
ion Of every reader is TO throw il
side with q prolonged "bah!"
