We have just received from Dauchy g.
Co.'S newspaper advertisement agency, %
Park Place, New York, their new cata-

handsome volume of64 pages in good bind
ing. 1t contains a list of all newspapers,
magazines and other periodicals in the
United States and Canada which insert ad
vertisements, and is corrected up to August
10 of this year. Its arrangement is the
most convenient for advertisers, wide
space being left opposite each paper for

vertising proposals or contracts. The cata-
logue is alphabetically arranged by states,
cities and towns, the papers following ac-
corting to frequency of issue, with date of
establishment, actual or estimated ci1ula-
ton, etc, etc. 1t is very creditable piece
of work in all respects, and will prove of

death. He has all the loaded shells in his
belt that he started out with TINS morning.
Not one has been used.'
1t is said to be the only prize John Allen
ever missed
The best of the Mississippian's stories
was based On Johns campaigns.
Allen was born IN Tishomingo county.
Some years ago he was candidate Tor
district attorney. 1t was in the same dis
trict he now represents in Congress. He
had two strong opponents. One was Col
onel r. o. Beene,a an old lawyer of consider
able reputation, who had been district
attorney before the war. The other was
Norman Cayse, young lawyer of Itawam-
ba county. He was about the same age as
John Allen, and has been before the people
as candidate for Aliens place in Congress.
During the canvass, while speaking in TIA
wanda county, Cayse claimed the votes of
its people because he was born in the coun-
ty. John Allen. in reply, said that he was
born in the adjoining county of Tishomingo
If he hadn't been born there he would
rather have been horn in Itawamba county
than in any other county in the state. Col
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-09-28

onel Beene, who spoke at the same meeting
said that he had Always regretted that he
had not been born In either ltawamoa
county or Tishomingo. These counties had
no existence, however, at the time OF his
birth. He had, therefore, done the next
best thing, and was born in Tennessee,
where his mother lived.
The three candidates stumped the
district together When they got over into
Preutiss county John seemed to be at his
ease. He followed Cayse's example and
claimed the votes of the citizens of Prem
tiss county because he was born in the same
comfy with then And did the same thing
when he got into Alcorn county. BY the
time he reached Tishomingo county his OPP
ponents we've tired. John seemed to carry
everything before him because he was born
in each county, AT last Colonel Beene
could stand it no ior9er. When John
claimed to be born in Tfs,homingo county,
the colonel said:
Gentlemen, when we were canvassing
Prentiss county, Mr. Allen claimeI to have
been born there. When we got OF ei into
Alcorn county, he claimed to have en-
born there. And now we are in fish,
mingO county, he claims TO have been born
here. Gentlemen, MIR, Allen is 81 public
spirited citizen, but he appears TO have no
partition between his imagination aud his
memory. All that I've got to say is that
he is the most born man that | ever saw"
The colonel was dumbfounded when
Allen told him that Prentiss, Acorn and
Tishomingo counties formed one county

John turned 10 in the House with fresh
story after his speech at Tammany hall on
tie Fourth of July. He had heard 1t IN

General Spinola. Years and years ago the
general met Mark Mcguire and John Nor
lIssey. Wishing to compliment Mr.. Nor
rssey the general said to Mark:
'Ah! l see you have the Cromwell of
America with you.'
Morrissey was highly indignant. He
doubled his fist, and turning to Mark Ma

''Hold on,n Mark shouted. she means

He is not much of hot weather statesman.
He appeared at Tamynany hall on the
Fourth of July, and has spent the most of
the time since then campaigning in Missis-
sippi and elsewhere.
The other day he returned to the House.
His naturally swarthy complexion had be-
come darker from the exposure to the
weather. He listened to a few speeches,
told sixteen new stories, begged u chew of
tobacco from Watchdog Holman's leather
issippian travelling in his wske retaiied
some anecdotes concerning Johns career,
which convused everybody with laughter.
One of the incidents &C urred at the out
break of the war
John was gawky boy, whose knowled ee
of the world was confined To Tshomingo.
Itawamba and Oktibbeha counties The
reverberations of the guns at Fort Sumpter
were thrilling the south. Each man was
rushing to arms Camps were being
formed on every side The feeling was
universal that one SOU hsrntr could whip
seventeen Yankees. Tne south was per-
fectly confident of success. The only fear
expressed was that the Yankees would
back down without fighting.
In the excitement John went up to Cor
NTH, where there was great Confederate
camp. 1t was the first time he had been so
far from home He found there FIVE or six
thousand recruits armed and equipped. 1t
was the largest body of men that he had
ever seen.
His uncle commanded company. John
spent the night in his tent. Upon his re-
turn home, somebody asked him what he
thought Of the situation "O.n he replied,
with confident air, "there'll be no war.
It's a doggon shame. AS soon as Abe Lin
coin hears what's goin' on and a-doin' at
Corlnth, he'll back straight down, and
that'll be the end of it. The Yankees won't
fight"

News has been recently received in
this place, by Anton Schmidt, that lis
son Adolph Schmidt was killed in
railroad accident in tunnel near Alta
mont, California. Thursday, May Sth.
Abolph was a young man Of steady
habits and several years ago went to
California where his two sisters reside,
and entered the employ of the Express
Co, of Wells, Fargo d Co, with whom
he worked until short time ago, when
he left for a temporary position as
brakeman on the Central Pacific be-
tween Oakland and Lathrop. Here he
began work, and in few weeks was
put on work train which was remov-
ing the earth resultant from a slide be-
tween Midway and Altamont, where
another worktrain was also in operation.
The following from the Oakland Times
gives some Of tho particulars
as produced in evidences at the
inquest
"The evidence showed that between
Altamont and Midway there had been a
Glide and two work trains were employ
ed hauling away the earth, conductor
kieienberger's train hauling it to Mid
way, and the other to Altamont. Ac-
cording to working orders, when con-
dIctor Kielenberger noticed the APP
proach of the special special was
carrying the road officials Gle sig
nailed to the other work train, and both
started for switch near Altamont.
Shortly before coming to it they had to
pass through tunnel. This tunnel was
full of smoke. owing TO the Altamont
work train having passed through it
twice, and as it was impossible TO see
ahead, conductor Kielenberger's train,
which was closely following the other,
had to feel its way along and after en-
tering the tunnel had slackened its speed
This the hagman, who had been left
behind, did not know, and he signalled
tho special that the track was clear
The special, considering the way clear,
came on at full speed and dashed into
the work train which was slowly max
ing its way through the smoky tunnel.
The train was telescoped, and Adolph,
who was standing at his post on rear
flat, was thrown agains the top of the
tunnel, killing him instantly, and
dropping him on the engine OF the
special.
The body was taken to Lathrop to
the home of j. w. Graves, brother
in-law, and tenderly cared for by them
till the funeral which occurred the fol-
lowing Sunday, May 18th. At the time
Of his death he was 81 years OF age.
The family, in their bereavement,
have the unbounded sympathy Of the
community.
