Sawtelle, who murdered his broth
er, Hiram, under most FLOODED
circumstances, and who was recently
denied new trial by the New Hamp-
shire courts, was to have been hang
ed on Tuesday, Jan. 5, but death in
another form has prevented the
carrying out of the laws decree.
Sawtelle was stricken with apoplexy
on Thursday, and died on Saturday
forenoon. 1t is said that the muir
derer had been under a severe mental
strain since the denial Of new trial
and that this brought on the stroke
which closed his career.

Matters in Chill do not seem to
cool down any, but the temper of the
people of that South American re-
public, in their attitude towards the
United States, continues quite warm.
The trouble over that attack by the
Chilean mob on the sailors of the
Baltimore is no nearer a settlement
than it was two weeks ago-if one
can judge from the news dispat ches-
and it is now expected that Chill will
refuse TO make the reparation de-
manded of her, and call for a settle
ment by arbitration. Meantime
business is lively in the United States
navy yards, and preparations are
being made for stern measures with
the spunky little nation.

AS result of the unusually large
number Of fires in Vermont during
the past year several insurance COM
panies have decided that they can
not proftably do business in this
state, and will withdraw therefrom
on January first. Among these with
drawing companies is the German
American of New York, the sixth
largest American fire company. The
departure of this excellent company
from the state will be sincerely re-
GREETED, but the fire loss in this coun-
try during 1891 has been appalling,
and it is not strange that companies
which have been most directly affect
ed thereby are disposed to proceed
with caution. Vermont has had a
large share in this fire loss, as an ex-
animation of the records will show.

THE ELLIS COUNTY ALLIANCE
RESOlUTE,

The Ellis County Alliance at a
meeting held last week resoluted un-
til they became black in the face.
Among other resolutions passed was
one referring to the election contest
between Miller and Reeder. We
give herewith the manner in which
they reach for Dumbauld, chairman
of the peoples party and Speaker
Elder, as tending to show that there
is not that harmony, that absolute
confidence, in short that Damon and
Pythias friendship that we have
been Taught to regard as one of the
distinctive features upon which
they, only, had q copyright. Elder
and Dumbauld will probably 60 out
and hang themselves when they
lesrd what traitors they have been
and how the Ellis county alliance
have at last found them out.

We exchange with almost every
newspaper published in this congress
sional district. We read every one
Of them each week and always find
something interesting in each; and
while we have no personal acquaint-
ance with the majority of the edi-
tors, through the medium Of their
writings we feel acquainted with
them all. We have conceived the
idea, erroneous it may be, that we
can give pretty accurate descrip-
ton Of our journalists from the
general make up and style Of their
papers, and in the near future we
may give our impressions for what
they are worth. At this time we on
ly wish to say that evers one Of them
gives his community as good a paper
as his support iustifes and in many
instances much better. We are
gratified to be able to make this
statement and feel proud to claim
membership with the press gang of
Northwest Kansas. They are all
rustlers and nearly all are on the
broad gauge. All things being
equal, eastern journalism will not
compare in point of push, energy
and we might add, ability, with that
of the west. We now have in r
mind several who are abundanty
qualified in every regard to edit and
publish metropolitan paper in any
city, and the only reason we can
assign for the humble position they
now occupy is their unwavering
loyalty to the state of their adoption,
and to western Kansas in particular.

Our J. Ralph Burton did a sensi-

Elk Governor Click, it seems, had
imblbed the idea that the conven-

commercial congress recently held
in Kansas City and started in with
one of his calamity speeches, when
Mr.. Burton rose to a point Of order,
calling the attention Of the conven-
ton to the purpose for which they
had assembled. The convention
cheered enthusiastically and Mr..
Click looked as though he had
been hit over the head with a
poIiceman's billy, metaphorically
speaking.

THE CIVIL preliminary TO AN IN
FAMOUS PLOT.

COMMUNICATIONS from last Week.
Now do you ask why this exulta-
ton over prospective civil war? Do
you ask why the money kings of
Wall Street and the great political
chieftain of Michigan were so
anxious, and positively joyous when
the guns were turned upon Fort
Sumpter and the declaration of war
sent its thrilling notes throughout
the length and breadth of our land?
Do you ask why these hearts became
like steel and their thirst for human
gore Unsuitable? Why human life
had lost its sacredness and the thun-
dering of the war trumpet was mu-
sic in the ears? Reader do you i'm
agine 1T was because of their great
love for the dusky toilers in the cot
ton fields of Mississippi or because
the finer instincts Of their nature
revolted against the cruel system of
African slavery? Do you suppose
the story Of Uncle Tom and little
Eva had touched their hearts and
they had sworn vengeance upon the
perpetrators of Wall Street and the
great political chieftain of Michigan,
were not the men whose hearts were
touched with pity by the cries Of dis
tress. Their love of gain had stifed
The finer instincts Of their nature
and they rejoiced because they saw
in the preparations for war their
long-coveted opportunity for plum
der. The calamities of war must
bring its necessities and through
these necessities they determine to
subjugate their unsuspecting brother
men. To accomplish this it becomes
necessary to obtain possession of the
finances, like blood, the circulating
medium of the body is the life Of
the body, so they knew that money,
the circulating medium of the coun-
try, was the life of the country, its
industry, its education, its morality,
in truth its very life depended upon
its power to initiate or depress the
business of the country at pleasure.
They could send the warm life cur
rent through the channels of trade,
dispensing peace, happiness and pros
perity or they could check its flow
and completely paralyze the indus
tries of the country. They knew
their opportunity was at hand and
the tidings of war that blanched the
cheek and sent terror to the heart of
the multitude was to theis ears
sweeter than music of the spheres.
Scarcely had the war cloud brok-
en- ere the gold and silver money of
the country disappeared true to the
history of metallic money in all ages
when in the hour of peril of a coun-
try's greatest need her gold and her
silver always takes flight. What
had become of it? Why Shylock
had obtained possession of it for
what purpose we shall see hereaf-
ter. The necessities of the war re-
quired vast sums Of money; but the
treasury was;empty, the gold and the
silver money of the country had fed.
What was to be done? The govern
ment was in duty bound to suppress
The rebellion, to defend itself
against the aggression of her enemy.
She must call out troops, clothe,
sed and provide them with NUM-

see a sick neighbor, | was left at the
cabin with their daughter, a girl of
eighteen. AS soon as she had cleared
off the supper table, and while l sat
on the doorstep smoking, she put on
a clean apron, arranged her hair
bit and blushed very red as she said
to me:
"Hlm's coming to see me tonight,
and him's very skeery and-and"-
do you mean that your young
man is coming?" l asked.
"ReckOn him is"
"And he's bashful?"
Him can't skeercely abide dad and

found me here. Well, I'll take a
walk and get out Of the way"
"No! no! You's perfectly proper,
I'll go out and sit down on the log,
and you's stay here"
ooh, that's it! Well, don't you
mind me in the least. Just tell the
young man I've been there myself
and know how one feels about it."
The log was thirty feet away, and
she hadn't been sitting there over FIVE
minutes when chin" appeared. He
had probably been in hiding some
where near. All / could see was that
he was young man and very bash
full and awkward. He sat down
about ten feet away from her, and ii
was five minutes before either spoke.
Then he remarked:
Powerful sight of rain long back,

"Why, jim, it hain't showered in
