Rev. LEIGH VERNON gave some
good, sound advice at his opening meet
ing, that ought to be taken home by
some of the professed christians of this
city. His advice was to the effect that,
the LORDS work and assist in awaken
ing christian sentiment in the minds
of businessmen of this city they should
make every effort possible to pay the
merchandise the piano. furniture, or
anything, and raise money-and when
they had squared accounts with their
creditors they would then be in shape
to work for the Lord. How many men
will heed that advice?

fit and told him to take back the ma
chine for what was due him. This
enraged Whalan. He went to the man
who had possession of-the machine and
attacked him with a knife, but was
repulsed. Wbalan then went out in
the country, not far from Lacrosse,
where his three partners were, and
going in on them in the middle of the
night attacked them with murderous
knife. Whiteside was stabbed in the
lungs and died of the wounds, while
Lee was fearfully cut to pieces, and may
not recover. Hotchkiss escaped by
jumping out of window and running,
pursued by the bloodhirsty Whalan.
The murderer escaped arrest, and has
not, to our knowledge been caught yet.
The cutting occurred on the night of
the 5th inst.

One Dead and One Wounded,

Young Tom Hotchkiss, a brother of
County Attorney Hotchkiss, has been
up in Rush county during harvest. He
worked hard and saved his earnings.
and recently pooled his money with
three men named Whiteside, Lee and
Whalan, and bought threshing ma
chine, paying part down and going
jointly on the note to secure balance.
They went to work threshing and were
doing reasonably well. Whalan was
made treasurer of the firm, but it ap-
pears he was Incorporating the
money they earned, and not paying it
In on the indebtedness Of the machine.
The other three found that they were
getting deeper in the hole, and went to
the man of whom they bought the out

Two weeks have now passed since a
few of the democrats of Barton county
met in convention in this city and re-
solved to leave the naming of county
ticket to the county central committee.
At that convention nine committee
men were named by the nine townships
and wards there represented by dele
gates, leaving thirteen townships with
no committeeman named. Since that
time but few of the townships have Sc
lected their committeeman. We again
urge upon the democrats of the several
townships to select men to represent
them or the central committee, in order
that when that committee holds a
meeting to take action on the matter
of county ticket every township will
be represented. No matter what action
that committee takes, it will be for the
good Of the democratic party in future
years to have all parts of the county
represented. In our judgment, one of
three things will be done by our central
committee: It will put in nomination
a democratic ticket, endorse the peo-
pies party nominees, or will decide to
take no action in the matter. The
democrats of the county should take
sufficient interest in the matter to say,
through their committeeman, what of
those three things they want done. and
the sooner the committee gets together
and takes some action the better it will
be for democrats in the future. Let us
have no hanging back by anybody; what
we do let us do unanimously and for
the future good Of our party.

LOCAL politics in Barton county are
in somewhat of a chaotic state. Re
publicans and peoples party men know
that the fate of each of their county
tickets depends upon the action of the
democrats, and for that reason candi-
dates on both the tickets in the field
are getting about among democrats and
trying to get pledges of support. If
the democrats have any intention of
placing in nomination a ticket the
quicker they do SO the better it will be
for the men on such ticket, for reasons
which anyone can easily see. Both the
tickets in the field are devoid of ele-
ments Of strength in their own parties,
and we still believe the democrats, had
they shown the proper interest in the
matter, could have nominated the win
ming men. AS to what would be the
result of placing democratic ticket in
the field now, we are unable to venture
an intelligent prediction. Whatever is
done, however, we earnestly hope that
democrats will stand solidly and I'M
broken by the lines laid down, and not
do1themselves an injury, as party, by
getting up dissentions and pickering
among themselves. The republicans,
our strongest enemies, are doing every
thing in their power to divide the dem
ocracy, but thfir interference should
receive no attention from democrats
who have the success Of solid demo-
cratic rfinciples at heart. Our party
has passed through many trying or
deals, but always came up smiling and
ready for another fight; and twill con-
tinue to do 30.

Henry Miller, of Buffalo township,
was in town Tuesday with a load of
potatoes. He says potatoes are a more
paying crop than wheat this year. He
has an acre and q half, and will get
over 200 bushels out of the patch,
which, at 20 cents bushel, will pay
very well. Henry's wheat this year
is all right. too, as he got 5000 bush
els off of 80 acres.

WITH the varying quantity of water which flows in many of our smaller streams during the summer months it is plainly evident that storage reservoirs are the sources upon which many sections must rely for their supply of water for irrigation. During the winter months most of the streams run back full with pure water from the mountain SHOWS and rains, which can be gathered in these reservoirs, and stored for use until such times as the streams fail to furnish a supply. Up on almost every stream in the Territory, there are places where dams can be easily and safely built, and above which there are large areas of land of no present value, that can be covered with res- ervoirs. Nearly every large ranch canons and arroyos that drain water sheds of sufficient size to furnish an abundance of water with which to irrigate such fields, vine yards and orchards, as the owners may wish to cultivate. The time IS close at hand when all of these will be put to use.
