1t appears from recent develop
ments that the heather Chlnee is not
the only person that is addicted with
peculiar tricks. The past week has
brought about the fact that one of
these peculiar fellows reside in this
county and is = leading member of
the Republican party. The evidence
is sufficient to throw suspicion on his
long name. and if the statements are
true rs We hear them the schemer's
name should be given to the public
Here is the facts i'm the case as We
get them: The alliance officials Of
this county, the present season, have
been taking large orders for binder
Irvine. Last season large sum of
money was saved by farmers in this
way, buying Irvine at wholesale prices,
far more than it takes to pay the ex-
penses of the different sub-unions in
the county, and the experiment was
followed up this year. The alliance
men sent in their orders to the county
agent and his able assistants and the
Irvine came one day last week This
prominent Republican came in after
the amount for his neishborhood and
was told that the kind ordered did
not come. but 4 better grade at one
| fourth cent per pound was one hand
for filing orders. He failed to get
the Irvine but went home, and on the
way circulated thc story that the
agents were asking one fourth cent
per pound more than they agreed to
take. Now the quesSln arises,
whether this fellow made this state
ment through ignorance, or done il
for the purpose of giving the alliance
worl, 4 black eye and throwing dis
respect on the managers, must be
left with the public to decide. Re-
form movements everywhere has
been opposed and treac'serously be
trayed by persons who should be its
best friends, and this looks like a
case of deception. Should this be
apparent, after further investigation
the persons name Will be given. The
leaders Of the alliance in this county
have done vast amount of work for
the other members. and to have mis-
statements made in regard to their
dealings must not he allowed to 60
without the most complete expose.

1t appears that tue Democrats OF

1t appears that the Democrats OF
Memphis in some manner found out
that their party had nominated
candidate for the presidency and
straightw:y meeting was called to
ratifying the nomination Of Cleveland
and organize a campa ign club, at
the court house Tuesday night.
After the Republican manager had
touched the button and set the ball
to rolling, the writer put in an
appearance and found just fifteen
persons present when the meeting
was called to order, all of whom was
office holders or wanted to be.
Several Of those present had been
called to the meeting, as persons are
called to court and reluctantly went
over to see what was the trouble.

hope that more would come, and no

The Dogs Idea of Man.
POPULAR Science Month

LOlaASA 0NtCASO lhOhkAh1
As has been said, our custom of ascribing
human faculties and modes of thought is
an involuntary and in~variable one when
we are dealing with the mental processes
of other beings. Even when we speak of
the supernatural the same habit is mani
fest. and human passions, emotions and
weaknesses are constantly ascribed to be-
jngs presumed TO be infinitely more remote
from us in power and knowledge than we
are from q dog. Thus we see in the not very
distant past, roasted flesh and fruits were
gods; doubtless because they were pleas
ing to the palates of the worshipers. who
reasoned by analogy from the known to
the unknown. This should teach us to
bear ia mine that there is. affecting the
dogs point of view, almost undoubtedly
such a thing as cynomorphism, and that
he has his peculiar and limited ideas of
life and range of mental vision, and there
fore ~perforce makes bis artificial sur
roundIngs square with them. 1t hos been
said that q man stands to his dog
in the position of a god; but when we con-
cider that our own conceptions of deity
lead us to the general idea of an enor-
mously powerful and omniscient Man, who
loves, hates. desires. rewards and Furnishes,
in h~uman-like fashion. itlnvolves no strain
OF imagination TO conceive that from the
dogs point of view his master il an elon-
gated and abnormally cunning dog: of diff
ferent shape and manners certainly to the
common run of dogs. yet canine in his es-
sential nature.

A Democratic Editor and Justice Of the Peace
Sess Free Murderer Ciabe Shuck.
SPECIAL to the Indianapolis Journal
CoRYDoN, Ind. Nov. 27.-The preliminary
trial of Clabe Shuck for the killing of w.
G. Heth resulted in the acquittal of the
defendant, Justice r. S. Kirkham deciding
that the deed was done in self-defense.
The verdict has raised q storm of indlgna.
ton, Rev. HI. i. Stern. of the Presbyterian
Church. and Rev. j. w. Milan. of the NJ.
E. Church, being among those who unhesi-
tatingly denouDos it as an outrage. Rev.
Stern is q Populist while Rev. Milan is q
Prohibitionist but they openly declare
that Shuck was set at liberty because he Is
a Democrat. Justice Kirkham is the editor
of q local Democratic paper, but the prose-
cution thought that inasmuch as there was
un;mpeachablo testimony TO show that
Shuck was guilty of murder. the justice
could not do otherwise than recognize him
to the Circuit Court. The defendant HIM
self did not expect anything else. and il is
q matter Of general surprise that Justice
Kirkham should thus let it appear that he
let his PARTISAN prejudice govern his de-
cision. The matter will 90 before the
grand jury at its next session. and unless
Shuck flee the country he may yet be
brought to justice.

Brother for His Money.

HOLToN. Kan. Nov. 2Z.--Senational ar
rests were made to-day in the murder case

During hts visit some one attached q
revolver to his saddle SO that when he
mounted his horse the revolver was
fired. the bullet entering his groin. and
producing death in q few days. The murder

the detectives. who have been working on
the case. arrested Mrs. John Staoh, the
murdered mans sister. Joseph Stach, her
son. and Henry Nowack. a lsborer in Mrs.
tech's employ. Sweltlick was worth

He Has No Victoria Cross Nor Congressional
Medal, and Doesn't Know His Qualities.
PIttsburg Dispatch.
came across q hero the other day. He
looked much the same as everyday man.
kind. He did not know he was a hero. nor
did j. until he had left the party in which /
met him.. Domestic heroisn, that of the
privacy of home. with no Victoria cross or
congressional medal dangling before il as q
possibility, Is, after all. perhaps the Doblcst
of all heroism. Here was q great, strong.
healthy and wealthy man. fond of outdoor
sports, of travel, of the activity of a busy
commercial career-one who In his youth
was q mans man rather than a woman's.
Fifteen years ago he married. and in O few
years there came three children into the
household. 1t had been q happy family.
He was a kindly husband as husbands 60,
and she a pleasant and dutiful wife. Ont
of the night came paralysis TO her-a new
life to him. Since that time his career has
been entirely altered. His business was
quickly arranged SO he could be frequently
absent from his Office. He was father.
playmate compressed in one domestic
providence. Never had woman more de-
voted attendant nor more faithful
and intelligent nurse. All the little
questions of housekeeping and Of
the care and training of children. of their
clothing. their pleasures and their pains
fell to him. and in his hands they have
been managed with o wisdom and care abb
solutely wonderful. This has been, remem-
Der, something of ten years standing. and
it has grown instead Of lessening. Outside
of his comparatively casual attention to
business, his horizon 10 confined to the
walls of bis home. To make the wife for
get her burden OF aiiiiction and be q happy
woman through it all has been his
happiness. and with such q spirit
he could not fail. They rravel about
considerably, this family. and all the de.
tails arc taken care Of by him. No hired
nurses nor governesses are permitted TO
usurp any of his duties, although there is
one of each there at hand as his representa-
tive in times of enforced absence. So
skillfully is all this done. SO modestly is 10
carried out that even the chief beneficiary
does not realize what Is occurring-and
that is his reward. They do not build
Westminster abbeys n~owadays.D SAID a
friend of mine once, and / thought OF his
remark when l heard the story of this man,
for the supply of heroes at this time is iaf
below the demand.
