Mr.. John Runyan got home Monday
evening, from Manltou, Colorado,
where he had been for the past eight
weeks, in attendance upon his father,
who was so dangerously sick that for
weeks his death was daily expected.
But the crisis turned in his favor, and
he has gone to his home in Pennsyl-
vania. John came with his father,
brother, and sister to Newton, and from
there home. Miss Grace and brother
accompanied their father home.

years, and Mr.. sherwood has not seen
them for twelve years. They had ex-
pected them for several days, and were
going to the trains to meet them, when
they received a letter stating that their
fathers health was not good enough
for him to make the long trip. Their
disappointment is complete, as they
had anticipated great deal of pleasure
from the visit.
There was lively competition in the
rally business" in this city Monday
night. The republicans bad engaged
the big band' and the opera house,
and the peoples crowd engaged the
court house and the kid band.'' At Z
O'Clock the bands struck up. and the
crowds began TO assemble. Both crowds
were enthusiastic; they were of about
the same size; but while slxty-fve per
cent of the opera house crowd was COM
posed of women and children, about
eighty-fve per cent of the court house
crowd was composed of voters. The
speeches at both places were cheered,
but the cheers at the courthouse must
have been heard at the opera house.
rhe crowd fairly went wild, and threw
their hats all over the room. Perhaps
not dozen votes were changed by both
rallies, but the kkneed were "brac-
ed up" and vote saved was equal to
one made. We have not space to men,
ton the various speeches.

arrested him. Springer, feeling that he
had done nothing wrong, leaned back.

shall struck him three times with bill

just below the right eye, cutting the
flesh, and making severe wound. He
then took Springer to the Jail but
he was released in q few minutes. A
number of citizens, feeling indignant
at the action of the marshal, waited on
Mayor McNeal, and requested that Nc
Gregor be suspended from duty, at
least until after the election. The May
or Immediately granted their request,
and in less than an hour after the Oc-
currence the marshal was relieved OF
his star. Indignation ran high, and we
heard more ugly talk about McGregor.

Republicans did the most and the loud

A lOw-dOwn disreputable act was
