The Famous Wooamen case.

The Fulton Journal has the follow
ing:
Judge Crabtree decided against the
motion to dismiss the ease of the state vs..
the Modern Woodmen of Am erica and it
will be docketed for the next term of
court. 1t is getting to be rather a mouldy
old chestnut and all the reasons that can
be sdduced for not dismissing it are that
it furnishes profitable employment for &
few lawyers, and to dismiss would be
very uncomplimentary to the efficiency
of State Auditor Pavey and Attorney
General Hunt. 1t will probably be dis
missed after the next campsign for re-
pub lean nominations for state officers is
over.

Cutting Scrape.

Our city was thrown into a fever of
excitement last evening by two of our
Oldest citizens coming together in "a
most unfriendly manner. For some
time past L. j. Bailey and A. A. Ger
man, two of our grain dealers, have
been sparring. and last evening it
reached a climax in hand to hand
fight, which resulted in Mr.. German
receiving a dangerous and painful
wound just below the breast, from a
knife Mr.. German was taken imme-
diatsly to his office, where DIR. Camp
bell dressed the wound, and found it
to be all ugly cut three inches long.
After the wound was dressed he was
taken to his home, and warrant for
Bailey's arrest was sworn out by Ed
Robinson. Bailey was arrested and,
we understand, will have hearing
today.-Claf1in Banner.
We have been unable to get any fur
ther particulars than the above, other
than that Mr.. Bailey had preliminary
examination before a justice of the
peace and was bound over to the dis
trict court in the sum of $500. The
affair is deeply deplored by the Claflin
people.

Appalling to Republicans.

At last we have the official vote of
every state as cast during the year 1890
and it presents the most startling fig
ures in the history of American poll
tics. Indeed, the political revolution
of last year has never been approached
by any of the many which made or un-
made parties. The two sweeping rev.
OlutiOns of our political history were
the defeat Of Van Buren, by Harrison
in 1910, and the defeat of Scott by
Pierce 1852. Van Buren, carried only
six states against Harrison, but the
popular majority was only las, 800, and
Scott carried only four states, the pop
ular majority being 100000. Even the
Grant Greeley campaign of 1872, which
was practically given up by the sup
porters of Greeley after the October
elections, and allowed to go by default,
gave Grant only 751 ,4S1 but the popu-
lar majority against the republicans in
1890 reached the appalling figures of
1850. If the democrats and the
third party, the farmers alliance, were
estimated together in giving the anti
republican vote in the west, as could
be done with entire justice, the popular
majority against the republicans would
be increased fully 100000. Taking the
best presentation that can be made for
the administration and the party in
power, the popular majority cast
against them on the direct issue forced
upon the people by the republican par
is 919, 1853, and it will stand for genera
tiODs as the monumental revolution in
American politics.-St. Louis Repub-

Lou HANBACK,, a rip-roaring, pro-
neutrality-suspicious., whom many
of our readers will remember as having
made political speech in favor of the
Humphrey ticket, in this city
last fall, got on a high old
drunk while in Columbus, Ohio, on the
goth and had the senses knocked out
of him by companion of his spree.
Hanback, was sent to Ohio to preach
McKinleyism and in his own peculiar
way wave the bloody shirt; but in an
evil moment he gave way to drink and
now waves bloody head instead. The
Ohioans will not have much respect
for that kind of prohibitionists.

about short weights On coal. Now we
viii say to the public and consumers
of coal, while we have no city scales
to test the honest or dishonest by, we
ask those that have scruples, also
those that have not, to test any and
all coal they buy of us on any disin-
terested scales in town, and for every
pound they find it short We will double
it in money or coal. This don't mean
the present only but for all time to
