DOUBLE MURDER.


Boone County Furnishes the Fifth Nurde,
in Three Years.
John Myers and wife, an aged couple
living at Cedar Rapids were shot by
their son-in-law, 81. X. Garrison, about
5.o'clock Friday afternoon. Myers lived
about an hour and his wife was still
alive but with but little hope of recov-
cry. The trouble grew out OF the sepa.
ration of Garrison and his wife and her
suing for divorce. She had been living
with her parents for short time. Gar
rison came down from his home in
Wheeler county and called at Myers
house, he claims, to induce his wife to
abandon her divorce case and live with
him. The Myers family protested
against such proceedings, and Garrison
drew large calibre revolver and shot
Myers in the head, the ball entering near
the eye and passing out at the back Of
the head, literally blowing his brains
out. Garrison then turned his attention
to Mrs. Myers, who was passing out Of
the room, shooting her in the back under
the shoulder blade, the ball coming out
at her breast. GarrisOn's wife screamed
for help, and actually marched the muir
derer out on the street and delivered
him over to some men who appeared on
the scene at that time. A crowd gather
ed and much talk OF lynching was in
dulged in. Garrison seemed anxious to
get away from this element, and was
loaded in q carriage and taken to Albion,
where he was placed in Jail. He is a
man 25 years Of age.

The Manufacturers Record recently
asked a number of the leading southern
bankers for their views upon the con-
dition Of business in their section and
the prospects. Replies have been re-
ceived from a large number, and without
question they tell Of great improvement
of business activity in trade and man
ufacture. In the last two years the
south has raised over n, 100000 bales Of
cotton, over 100000, 600 bushels Of corn,
nearly 100000 bushels of wheat and
16O,O00,O0O bushels of oats, the total
value being over 81, ,eO0,000OOO, which il
far in excess Of the value Of the south's
agricultural products in any two con-
secutive preceding years.

MURDERED WITH AN AK.

George Ives Brained Near Norfolk While
Chopping Wood.
Tuesday morning of last week as l..
NJ. Rekard Of Norfolk and his brother
in-lav, George W. Ives OF Burnett, were
pulling young cottonwood trees alone
the Elkhorn river, about one mile from
Norfolk, they were approached by VIII
liam and Henry Bache, owners Of the
land, and ordered OF. In an alteration
whice ensued George Ives was struck on
the back Of the head With an az by VII
liam Bache, crushing his skull and driv-
ing portion deeply into the brain. At
tending physicians did all in their power
to save Ives. They extracted section
Of the skull larger than silver dollar, but
the unfortunate man expired at 6 O'Clock
last evening, five minutes before his dis
tracted wife was able to reach this place
from her home st Burnett The Bache
brothers came to town and gave them
selves up to the sheriff. Their stories
and that Of Reckard sre very conflicting.
Tho Bache brothers claim self defense,
and, on tho other hand, Reckard claims
It to be . cold blooded murder. The
Bache brothers have heretofore borne .
good reputation.
0eoeRe W. Ives, tho man struck, died

attention Of the president ready for pre-
sentation to him, and it viii enable the
president to rapidly dispose Of the busi-
ness thus brought before him.
Tho department Of agriculture and
the department Of justice having very
little business requiring the attention Of
the president, have no particular time
-asigned them. The days. Of tho week
are assigned as follows: Monday
Navy department; Tuesday-Post-om
department; Wednesday-Treasury de-
partment; Thursday-Interior depart
ment; Friday State department.;
6aturday-War department.
This rule will also give tho president
aome relief from tho Office seelrsra For
instance, If q man is seeking an appoint
ment under the post Office department
he viii know that Tuesday IL tho only
day upon which tho president considers
business relating to that department,
and will not, a. he has been doing, make
daily visits to the White House. In fact
it is good rule anyway. and ono won
ders Why it or q similar one had not been
adopted long ago.
Attorney General Miller has been
called upon to decide the much discussed
question as to whether the four years
commission of Federal officers shall be
dated from the appointment or from tho
time Of confirmation by the senate. The
date Of confirmation has generally been
taken, but many people believe that tho
time Of the original appointment is tho
proper date. 1t will make quite dif-
ference to large number OF democratic
officials, as there is in many cases dif-
ference of a year between the date Of ap-
pointment and that of confirmation.
Ex-Congressman F. w. Palmer, for
merly of Iowa, but now of Chicago, has
jumped into sudden prominence ~ .
candidate for public printer, and many
people think his chances for getting the
appointment are excellent.
The president has appointed Henry
NJ. Dixon, Of Mississippi, a cadet-at-
large to West Point. The father OF this
young man was killed by a mob at his
home in Yazoo City, Mississippi, in 1879,
for the heinous crime of having opposed
the democratic ticket.
The beginning of the taking Of the
new census has been inaugurated by the
opening of the census bureau in this
city, which is in charge of Mr.. Robert
Porter, the newly appointed superinten-
dent.

Squire" Stand Up.

Ed. JOURNAL:-SOme two or three
weeks ago there was an article written
by a town officer signing himself
Squire" and who called on me to stand
up, while he proceeded to give me an
overhauling. now wish to reply, but
shall pass all that he said that was per
sonal to me and simply notice what he
had to say in defence Of the workings ot
town organization. He says the people
are willing to be taxed as long as they
are allowed to govern themselves, and
then goes on to show the advantages We
enjoy, that the chances to hold Office are
very numerous compared with the old
commissioner rule, and people have q
chance to show their legal acumen, as he
calls it, and right here I want to say the
Squire has written the most frank and
truthful history Of the working Of town
machinery as it at present exists, that
have seen. he goes on to explain that
the officers have nothing to do but make
ont their bills, present them to the clerk
who draws an order for the same, and
they draw their cash without . Ghave
That is one place they have free govern.
ment, and it seems the kind that suits
the Squire and the balance Of tho board.
He laments, however, that all the officers
do not have an equal show as to the
amount Ct fees allowed by law and
thinks they should be more evenly bal.
anced, but they fix that by allowing
extra bills to come in sufficient to bal.
ance accounts. That is where the right
to govern themselves comes in, sup.
pose. He says the people are satisfied,
and Wise need not kick. Taxes, he says,
pay the bills including the judges and
clerks of election. he says they build
their own bridges, il they amt too big,
and do not have to take second-handed
bridges. It strikes me that I heard this
bridge racket before, but let that pass,
and let us sum up the advantages that
the Squire claims. First, the chance to
hold Office and make ont their bills. I'd.
The chance to get the cash for them
without shave. Sd. The privilege of
putting in extra bills in order to equal
ize fees. 4th. The chance to pay the
judges and clerks of election out OF the
town funds. 5th. The chance to pay
II or Is men to do the work of the COM
missoners. 9Th. The chance to pay the
other town officers a good fee for meet
ing and making out their bills. 7th.
The chance to tax ourselves seven mills
extra above our former taxation to run
this free town government. 8th. The
right to think We govern ourselves. Nov,
Mr.. Editor, this is the sum and sub
stance Of self government under Nebras-
ka laws, and If any one can show one
iota or particle Of advantage or benefit
under our laws, to the general taxpayer
or people, I would like to see it. The
taxpayers lamentation does not argue
that way. Come supervisors, town
clerks, town treasurer and 'squires, show
up the benefit of town organization.

Warrington Letter.
[From our regular correspondent

From our regular c0tTeop0ndent.J
Senator Quay has said farewell to the
President and gone to his Pennsylvania
home, determined to take q good long
rest. He and the President are on the
very best of terms, few long-tongued
gossips to the contrary notwithstanding.
And what is more, they are likely to
continue so. They thoroughly under
stand each other, and there is not the
slightest danger that the President will
refuse any favor asked for by the sen.
ator, because the senator will ask moth.
ing that it would not benefit the admin.
istration to grant.
It is thought that the Ohio republi-
cans have lost one or two very good ap-
pointments owing to the lack of harmony
in the Congressional delegation, the
President prefering to select a man from
some other state rather than to decide
between two Ohio men, each backed by
a part of the congressional delegation.
Charges have been fled with the
President against ex-Congressman
Smalls, Of South Carolina, who is a can
didate for prominent Federal position
in his state. One of the charges against
him is that he secretly worked and voted
for the democratic presidential and con-
gressional ticket last November.
A committee from the New York GEN.
tennial celebration has been here max
ing arrangements for the trip of the
president and his cabinet. They will
leave here at very early hour next
Monday morning, arriving at Elizabeth,
N. j. at about 8 O'Clock, where they will
take breakfast with the governor Of New
Jersey, after which the party will pro-
ceed to Elizabethport, where boats will
await them, and from there to the
wharf in New York City, from which
Washington stepped just one hundred
years ago that day, where they will be
met by all New York, and take their
parts in the great celebration. Secretary
Blaine has agreed to respond to the
toast, The House Of Representatives"
at the banquet to be given in New York
City on the evening Of the 3Oth inst, to
the distinguished guests Of the New
York centennial committee. It is sub
ject upon which Mr.. Blaine is peculiarly
fitted to speak, owing to his long con.
nection with the house, a. member and
speaker.
The president 10 . believer in tho
benefits to be derived from doing busi-
ness in thoroughly systematic manner.
For instance, he assigned one day Of
each week for the consideration Of busi.
ness pertaining to one Of the executive
departments Of the government and un-
less tho business is unusually important
it will not be considered on any other
day than that assigned to the depart
ment under which it properly comes.
