1t may not have been good policy
or good economy to pay an old SOL
dier for work not required in the
senate. We are opposed to making
"places" for political rewards. But
J. B. Hompe did not lift the coffin lid
of despair from his political hopes
when he said the ssold soldier racket
was a decayed CHESTNUT When Mr..
Hompe gets before the ballot box
again we are afraid he will find a
ghost from every battle field there
ahead of him. His unwise remark is
condemned by every one.

A large number OF farmers have
written in to the Business Agency ask

of

W. C. Bentham Arrested at the Instance
of His Partner.
W. c. Bentham was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Officer Bush and locked up at
the Southern Police Station on charge of
obtaining money by means of false and
fraudulent pretenses. For about month
lie has had his shingle out as real estate
agent and business broker in hallway at
913h Market street, to which place he re-
moved from 995 Market.
On March 16th. finding that he had too
much business on hand for one man to at
tend to. he sold a half interest in the concern
to w. e. Smith, receiving therefor $500 in
cash and note for S1C0. Since then Smith
claims the firm has not taken in cert and
that he was imposed upon by Bentham
when he made the purchase.
On April ID they drew and signed con-
tract whereby Smith was to retire from the
partnership yesterday and Bentham was to
pay him 500 and surrender the note he
held. Bentham failed to come TO time with
