new and vigorous efforts to improve their

MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE PROFESSOR.
Ever since we took possession of our
Office on Sioux avenue certain people
have taken malicious delight in
heaving rocks at the doors and through
the windows at midnight. We put up
with it the first six months because we
were afraid, and the next six because
we liked to see people enjoy them
selves. Then we warned the public to
let up or somebody would got hurt.
Last Wednesday night rock weigh
ing three pounds came through win
dow and barely missed our head as we
lay sleeping on our cot. AS we got to
the door with our shotgun some one
could be seen making off over tho
commons towards Elkins' saloon. We
drew on him and pulled trigger and
something uttered yell. Yesterday
the body of Professor Jenkins was
found in the sagebrush about two miles
from town, and it was plain that he
died of dose of buckshot in the back.
Just as likely as not he was the chap
we aimed at in the darkness. We
didn't owe him any particular grudge,
and we didn't know that he did us, and
we are willing to foot half the burial
expenses at a venture.

HAVE Cor A Few correspondent
inquiries if The Kicker has any libel
suits on hand. as the result of it's in
dependent and outspoken course. Well.
yes, it has few-about four dozen, we
believe, but We are not worrying any.
They have all been instituted by second
class ducks, who haven't any character
to be damaged, and the whole batch
will probably be thrown out of court in
lump some day. In the beginning~of
our career libel suit used to give us
the collie for three days and nights,
and we'd wake up from a troubled sleep
to find our cheeks wet with tears, but
we soon got sunburned. Indeed, we
rather prefer to see them come. 1t

Il Western Editors Experience with HUI
man Nature.
We extract the following from the
last issue of the Arizona Kicker:
We ARE LEFT.-For the past four
weeks our friends have been eagerly
pressing us to take the nomination for
mayor on the peoples ticket. We do
not crave office, and are very busy
man, but the pressure became so great
we had to give in. Last Tuesday even
ing the city caucus was held, and in
stead of being nominated for mayor
we received only three votes out OF
upwards of sixty cast Our friends
were mistaken when they insisted that
we were wanted. Instead of being the
unanimous choice of the patriotic peo-
pie, we had the pleasure of seeing
Jerry Baxter, the meanest man In
town, given the nomination. U, well,
that's human nature right enough, and
an editor fool enough to 60 into politics
deserves to be driven head first into
the tan bark as we were. We have
word to say, however, the Kicker will
not only bolt every candidate on the
ticket, but we guarantee to have nine
tenths of the nominees in prison before
they are a month older. Vens cum
oranis! which is Latin for saying:
Don't monkey with a newspaper man.

A BASE FALsEHooD.-Weh have as
certained that it was Colonel Kehoe
who started the story that we had the
proprietor of the Red Star saloon
lynched by mob last week in order to
avoid paying him liquor bill OF SIS.
We encountered the Colonel in Davis
livery barn yesterday, grabbed him by
the throat and backed him against the
heels of a stage mule, and between us
and the mute the Colonel received a
drubbing which will last him life
time. He acknowledged that he was a
liar, slanderer and thief, and that his
course towards US was actuated by per-
sonal spite. At that very moment he
had on our seccnd-best undershirt, our
Sunday necktie and the pantalOons that
we never wear except on holidays, and
was in debt to us for many other favors.
AS to the lynching. We suggested it be-
cause Tim o Mel, the victim. had fallen
into the'habit of killing man about
seven times week, and there was eve
ry reason to believe that the coroner
was standing in with him on the fees.
We should have suggested retching
the cOrOner's neck little at the same
time, but as he brought US in club Of
thirteen subscribers we didn't think il
would look exactly right.

From the Flood.


1t was generally supposed that Mr.. c.
Monteverdi and his whole family, who
resided on Washington street, were
drowned when their house was taken
away on the fatal Friday. Such, how
ever, was not the case as Mr.. Monteverdi
and his daughter, Jennie, were in the city
yesterday.
1t appears that there were nineteen
people in Monteverdi's house at the time
of the food, his own family consisting of
nine. His wife and four of the children
were lost and himself and four children
got out Miss Jennie, who is pretty
girl of fifteen years, tloated down to Lock
port, Westmoreland county, over eigh-
teen miles from here. When near Lock-
port, the part of TIE roof she was on struck

and succeeded in climbing up the
tree, on which she remained
until some time on Saturday. The tree
was Il very large one, and from her perch
away up in its branches saw the fearful
water rolling all around aer, and supposed
that she would never b. able to reach dry

Some time during Saturday she noticed

y Wife Beater's Punishment.

News.
Since 1882 cases of wife-beating in
Maryland have been extremely rare. In
that year the Legislature passed an act
leaving it to the discretion of the Court,
whether man convicted of this offence
should be flogged or the bare back or i'm
prisoned. The flogging must not exceed
forty lashes, and the Imprisonment must
not exceed one year. In aggravated cases
the brutal husband may be both hogged
and imprisoned. The penalty of fogging
has only been imposed few times. Soon
after the passage of the act colored man
was polished off in fine style with cow
hide by the Sheriff of Baltimore City, and
since then there has been but little wife
beating among the colored population.
On Monday last, Il white man named
David G. Herbert, received severe fog
ging in Hagerstown. 1t was shown at
the trial that he had knocked his wife in
sensible, and would have struck her with
a achair when she was lying unconscious on
the floor, if his son had not interfered
The sentence was fifteen lashes on the
bare back and five days imprisonment.
The Sheriff had whip made for the oc-
casion. The man was stripped to the
waist, his hands were drawn up over his
head, and his wrists put through pair of
handouts that were fastened high up on
the wall. the enterprising newspaper re.
porters who were permitted to see the in
Fiction of the punishment, say that each
blow left a broad welt, terminating in
confusion from which the blood seemed
ready to start. " He twitched convu!s-
lively at the three first blows, and Mt the
fourth and each succeeding stroke he
moaned audibly."
From this description, it may be in
fcrred that Herbert received sound
ilogging. Pennsylvania might try tine
Maryland law, and include people who
crully whip little children in the hogging
penalty. Moses considered the lex
talionis a good thing, and the experience
of Maryland in dealing with wife-beaters
shows Moses understood human nature
rather better than many of our modern
law makers.

I;enarlsabIc story.

Mr.. d. l.. Rodgers, who formerly re-
sided on Iron street, Ahllville, tells Il re-
markable story connected with the find
ing of his wife's body. Mrs. Rodgers
was of a saving turn of mind, and always
carried plenty of money with her. When
her body was recovered it was taken to
the morgue in Prospect, and full list of
what was found on her person laid on the
corpse. Among other things was men
toned pocket-bool containing $40 OF.
The pockot-book and contents disap-
peared and Mr.. Rodgers has been unable
to find any trace of it. 1t was not turned
into the committee on vamables, and the
question is what became of the money.

THE HOSPITAL.
TWENTY-FIVE CASES ADMITTED TO
THE RED CROSS HOSPITAL.

The Cases Consiste of Typhoid and Mala-
rial Fevers-Six trained Nurses of Phila-
deIphia to Take Charge of the Sick
Other News of Interest.
During the past week twenty-five cases
were admitted eighteen of whom have
been discharged since as cured. The
cases consisted of typhoid fever, malarial
fever, injuries, dysentery, and case of
genuine scurvy, from the salt pork diet
which some of the contractors men have
been subsistng on.
DR.. Herbert Starkey, surgeon in charge,
arrived from Philadelphia Monday with a
party of six trained nurses and physi-
clan to relieve those who have been per-
forming such faithful service in the past
two months.
The doctors and staff expect to leave
Johnstown on Wednesday and present to
the local physicians all of the valuable
hospital stores, instruments and drugs
with the entire contents of the Hospital as
it now stands, pronounced by both med
ical and military judges to be the best
equipped Military Hospital they have ever
seen or heard of.
With the supplies to be left our local
physicians will have no difficulty in start
ing the Memorial Hospital, at Moxham.
Mr.. Howell Evans the Quartermaster
and artist of the staff says that
he has left delcacies enough to
tickle the palatis of Johnstown's sick fora
year at least, and DR.. Starkey says that
there is supply of drugs and instruments
which few city hospitals contain.
The cases of typhoid fever now being
sent to the hospital cannot be traced to
any one cause, but as they require great
deal of attention. the trained nurses
brought up by DIR. Starkey will remain for
a short time.
The doctors and staff will leave with
what they have worked so hard tor-that
is, with the appreciation and gratitude of
everyone. They have sacrificed their
profession or business, as the case NAV
be, while here to be of what benefit they
could to our suffering humanity. They
have worked as laborlous grave diggers,
mechanics or anything that seemed nee
essary. Drs. Sharkey and Wharton are

pital of Philadelphia, and the latter has
had an extensive army experience, and

The CORRUPT syndicnte.

Happily the Orphan School Syndicate
which put an inefTaceable stain upon the
patriotic and generous people of Penn
sylvania, is being stopped in carrying out
its shameless abuses. The Soldiers Or
phan School Commission has formally
knocked out five of the most disgraceful
of the Soldiers Orphans Schools. Five of
the most corrupt Syndicate Schools have
been disposed of by the Commission. Let
this good work of the Commission Cradu-
ally proceed until the entire system is
wiped out. The Soldiers Orphans Schools
were q beneiicent work of charity, but
grayitated into mingled cruelty and greed,
which we re.assert has put an ineffacable
stain upon patriotic and generous peo-
pie. Thank God the Syndicate Schools
viii not much longer speculate on the
gcsh and blood of Soldiers Orphans.

BUCKALEw's FAILING.
A Characteristic Defect That Costs Hin
Many Friends.


= Charles r. Buckalew and wife," says
the Philadelphia Inquirer, were the only
words which announced the arrival of one
of the ablest Pennsylvania Democrats and
his wife at the Hotel Lafayette, Mr..
Buckalew holds his own in his battle
against age with tirst-class success. If he
feels any older than he did six or eight
years ago he does not show it in his man.
ner His step, although slow, is as firm
as ever, and he says he feels as well as he
has at any time in recent years.
When Mr.. Buckalew stood in the hotel
lobby looking about with preoccupied
air several friends passed in and nodded
to tlc distinguished Columbian. He did
not appear to know them, and failed to
return their greeting. "That," said
bloomsbury gentleman, who lives within
Il stones throw of Buckalew, "ls one of
the Congressman's greatest defects, and it
has cost him more friends than any other
fault he has. 1t is impossible for him to
remember faces. No, it is not intentional.
L know that he has tried to cultivate the
faculty, but the result has only been
failure. Up home some of his friends say
that he can't recognize his next door
neighbor, and while think that is stretch
ing it little l know he never remembers
a single strange face. 1t worries him
considerably. If l were to go over and
tell him that he hadn't recognized those
three friends he wouldn't smile again for
Il week."
