The assault upon Millionaire Slattery
in st. Louis, Monday, which may prove
fatal, revives recollection of a similar
assault in Chicago year ago. 1t is diff
ferent, however, in that while Tascott,
the supposed murderer OF Smell, escaped
and has succeeded to this good day in
evading discovery and arrest, the assail-
ants of Slattery were in duress with the
officers in possession of all the evidence
necessary to convict, within three hours
from the time the assault was made.
Hunt needs to be hanged on general

The. prominent actors in the great
drama OF the late civil war are rapidly
passing off the stage of action. With
the death of Admiral Porter, which the
telegraph informs us is imminent, will
close the career of one of the most con-
spicuous figures and efficient agents that
contributed of his genius to the success
of the Union arms. But for the decree
that all men must die it would seem q
cruel fate that takes from amongst us
those whom we have learned to revere
for their unselfish devotion and personal
sacrifice for principle and country; but
so it is, and we have no alternative but
to submit. whatever the prompting of
our nature.

A few ill-natured or facetious para
graphs in Wichita papers are hardly worth
the columns of reply made by Kansas City
morning papers. 1t is to be assumed that
Wichita will continue to delight in belit-
Ting Kansas City, and if every little
malevolent fling is to provoke a storm of
Indignation. the little town on the Arkan-
sas will keep the metropolis Of the south

THE REBELLION DECLARED OFF.

The rebellion is declared off, The Wich-
tia EAGLE comes out in double loaded
whooper, addl essed to the Republicans of
Sedgwick county to get up aud be a
whooping. It's remarks apply equally
well to Wyandotte county. We quote the
EAGLES entire editorial. Kansas City
Gazette.
What rebellion is declared off? There
has never been any rebellion declared on
in the ranks of the Sedgwick county Re
publcans and the EAGLE never intima-
ted that there was. They are sound,
and people will find out to their cost.
The threatened trouble, as the EAGLE
succinctly and clearly stated over and
over again, months ago, was. and is,
about fool legislatures and their expen-
sive work; against this continued Gre
ating of new and unnecessary offices and
the adding Of unnecessary expenses and
taxes; in short, against the ring rule of
the state, whose headquarters are at To
peka, and which successfully and sue
cesslvely dominates the state admins
trations if not the delegation in con-
gress, whereby any man who will not
fit himself as puppet to their groove is
not only ignored but crowded down and
out. And further, the EAGLE did not
start out with the word rebellion" 1t
declared that revolution in the Repub-
llcan ranks was not only demanded but
was coming. There was and is nothing
the matter with the great body of the
party or with the principles, both of
which are as sound today as they ever
were. The men who compose the party
are greater than their would-be bosses,
and the EAGLE is heart and soul with
the body of the party and will be to the
end and in the final victory.

But beyond the Indian nation
Lies a country far more grand;
It's the fairest In creation
1t is Oklahoma land.

Sings the mocking-hIrd his song,
And the foliage gently Guivers
As the breezes pass along.
The verdure rich is growing

WADEsBoRo, N. c., Feb, 1889.
Bethel Alliance. No 70, appointed
me correspondent, and as a duty which
/ owe to the order, I drop a line to
inform you that we are moving on
serenely, as if we were gliding on
some paci6ed stream. Why is it, Mr..
Editor, that more letters are not writ
ten by the good people of Anson :?
Scarcely ever see one from this county.
The farmers are busy blowing and
hauling commercial fertilizers (but
not me) and they seem to be making
. greater effort than ever for a large
crop of cotton. Would, MI. Editor,
that 1 or you could say something that
would induce them to plant less and
manure it with homemade fertilizer.
Talk to them about it and they will
agree with you, but they will not prac-
tice it. My dear friends, if times ever
get better, we have not only got to
agree to that, but we will have to
practice it. Sometimes l think they
reason thus: If the acreage n cotton
is reduced the price will advance and
I will make a speck If the acreage
is ever reduced, each and every indi-
Vidual will have to form the resolution
within himself; don't wait for some
body else. But they say if we plant
less cotton others will not and it will
do us no good; but I say it will, pro-
vided they raise their supplies.
Yours. &c. S. T. FLAKE.

THE
The Backbone Of the Country

It is a conceded fact in the minds of every bust
ness man that the commercial status of every COM
munity is greatly dependent on the farmers Of our
country in fact, so much so that should i'll fortune
visit the fields of our never ceasing toilers, then the
merchants of our city would be forced to retreat.
Therefore, let US as business men aid and shield the
the farmers whom 1 consider the backbone Of
every community, from every impeachment that is
likely to retard their progress.
Mr.. L. c.. Bagwell, having removed his stock Of
Caskets, Collins, Burial Robes and everything in
the Undertaking line, to the corner of East Martin
and South Blount SITS, is fully prepared to accom-
modate everybody, both in the city and elsewhere,
with the necessary equipments to give entire salts
faction. The most careful attention given to all
orders at day or night.
We heartily recommend Mr.. Bagwell as a young
man of untiring energy, and should you need any
thing in the Undertaker's line, visit his place of

gentlemanlY manner.
