A Runaway.

A slight brush of q runaway stirred
the pulses of the crowd and caused a
furry of excitement Tuesday evening.
When the dust cleared away it was
discovered that the rig belonged to l..
A. Porter. His horse had become
frightened shortly after leaving his
home, outside the city, and had ran
the entire distance from that point to
the city at full speed. The animal
was we'll tired out rs it came through
town but still had power enough to
withstand all efforts of Mr.. Porter to
check her. Had it not been for the
house which is being moved up Main
street blocking the way, the whole
outfit would have landed in the river.
AS it was the horse struck the building
fairly with its head and was nearly
up-ended by the shock. Mr.. Porter
was completely exhausted from trying
to hold the animal and keeping it in
the road. A new bit with an over
check was put on and George Morri-
son agreed to exercise the nag for a
couple of rcAands. A number of spec
tat0rs had gathered by this time but
the excited animal soon was out of
sight making excellent time down the
dusty street. Mr.. Morrison reports
that by liberal application of the whip
where the course was straight and the
dust deep and little care on the sharp
curves, he succeeded in firing out the
horse at the Moli0y place and the re-
turn trip was very quiet and orderly
drive.

The South American republics are
ut 1t again. Revolutions and wars are
the order Of the day. The Argentine
republic has lately been going from bad
to worse financially, and now the pe0-
pie are in open revolt against the gov.

ships are watch ing the course ofevents
at Buenos Ayres, and well they may;
for the people Of both countries have
been lending the Argentine Republic
money almost without limit, Ind Late

Anything that can be of use in de-
vising q plan to preserve our exhibit
for the Exposition ought to be made
known. We clip the following sugges-
tons from the Spangle Record: "Grain
of all kinds should be cut at the time
it is ripening, but not fully ripe, other
wise the seeds will drop out and leave
the straw bare. 1t should not be cut
too early, for the reason that the seeds
then shrivel. After cutting it should
be exposed to the sun for two or three
days to thoroughly dry 1t. 1t should
not be allowed to get wet, for 1t then
becomes discOlOred. After drying it
should be tied in sheaves and packed
a~aN in mouse-proof boxes, with lit
tie camphor. One mouse can totally
destroy grain exhibit by eating of
the heads. Threshed or cleaned grain
of all sorts, as we'll as seeds of sorghum,
corn, popcorn, heans, castor beans,
peas and products Of similar size and
form can be exhibited to advantage in
neat boxes, sacks or jars. The most
perfect specimens of each kind should
be selected, great care being taken that
they are not Overripe. The best time
to pick fruits for exhibition is when
they have acquired the proper color
but are yet hard. They should bt
handled carefully and not allowed tG
be bruised in any way. Before ship
ping, a fumigatiOn in sulphur vap0l
will benefit them, as that process tends
to remove causes of decay. A famiga
ton of ten to fifteen minutes duration
is usually sufficient, and will not effec
the color of the fruit"

gailty was un-American. 1t cannot be denied
that political events in the past have gone far
toward encouraging arrogant party assump-
ton. Every thoughtful and patriotic man
has at times been disappointed and depressed
by the apparent indifference and demOraliza-
ton OF the people.
But such reflections have no place in the
fluctuations of tonight This is time when
faith in our cOuntrymen should be fully re-
established. The noise of recent political
revolution is still heard throughout the land ;
the people have Just demonstrated that there
is point beyond which they cannot be led by
blind partisanship, and that they are quite
competent to examine and correctly decide pO-
litical questions concerning their rights and
their welfare. They have numerically re-
Sented every attack upon true American man
hood and have taught party leaders that
though slow to anger, they take terrible re-
yenge when BETRAYED. They permit us to for
give our hOnOred guest for the cheap coats he
has ever worn, for they have declared them
to be in fashion. They have also decreed that
the decalogue has place in our politics, for
they have enforced the command Thou shalt
not steal, and have rendered an emphatic
verdict against those who have borne false
witness. Nothing could SO we'll accompany

ton on his birthday of the victory which has
Just been achieved in vindicatiOn of American
citlzenshiR-for in him we honor the man who
has best illustrated true American manhood.
Our rejoicing and his are increased, as we
also celebrate tonight the triumph of DEM
ocratic principle for which he fought and fell
but two short years ago; and to complete our
JOY and his We are permitted to indulge in
true Democratic enthusiasm over the stead
fastness and devotion to its creed exhibited
by our party which knowing no discourage
ment, has fought to victory the people cause
"Wh0 can now doubt our countrymen's ap-
probation Of that trait, so we'll illustrated in
the character of Allen q. Thurman, which
prompted him throughout his long career. at
all times and in all circumstances, and with
out regard to personal consequences, to do the
things which his conscience and judgment ap-
proved, and which seemed to him to be in the
interests of his country and in accordance with
his Democratic faith? Who can now doubt
that conscience and courage point out the
way to public duty?
IF we entertain more solemn thoughts on
this occasion. let them be concerning the re-
cOuntrymen place in our keeping their hopes
and their trust We shall fail in our obliga-
ton to them if we stifle conscience and duty
by ignoble partisanship; but we shall meet
every patriotic expectation if, in all we do, we
follow the guidance Of true and honest De-
mocracy, illumined by the light of genuine
American citizenship"
