The brainiest man in the Re-

The exact nature Of Mr.. Blaine's

by his physicians, but there is
little doubt in my mind that grief
and disappointment have much to
do with his illness as disease.

Disgraceful Hoodlurnism.

On last Christmas Eve, while q hun
dred or more ladies and children were
gathered in the Colfax court house to
engage in the giving of presents, in &C
cordance with time honored usage and
custom, band of ill-natured and ILL
hammered white men engaged in some
of the most outrageous acts OF law
lessness and hoodlumism that has ever
disgraced this community. Their dis
turbance consisted in firing twenty or
thirty pistol shots, and using profane and
vulgar language that would put to blush
fshmonger. The perpetrators of the
outrage we are told were from ward six,
aided by two or three others, all OF them
being somewhat the worse for drink.
Now we are perfectly willing to accord
to any and all large amount of latitude
for hilarity and rowdying during the
holiday festivities, but we submit that
decency and self-respect demands that
our women and childen shall be protec-
ted from intentional and outrageous in
suit and abuse, and we shall insist that
our officers take o hand to prevent it..
This il case for investigation by the
grand jury, and unless there are more
mitigating circumstances than we believe,
the district attorney will make his fees on
at least two or three counts If he does
his duty, and We believe he will do it.
Subsequent to this happening it be-
came rumored that the same parties
threatened to break up the dance to be
given at LeSage's hall Monday night
To meet any such attempt, ten or dozen
shot guns were placed in reach, and o.
many young men stood ready and willing
to use them. Fortunately the rumol
proved to be unfounded, and everything
passed off quietly. 1t was probably al
unnecessary precaution. as the parties
suspected certainly grew ashamed OF thei
ungentlemanly conduct of Saturda.
i, night after sober second thought, ant
, would not have been guilty of any sucl
deliberate outrage and breach of tn
peace.
All this disorder and threatening is IN
called for and out of place,and we imagin
is more to be attributed to rot-gu
> whisky. than any desire to play the rol
; of corwardly hoodlum and bulldozer. a
any rate, all will find it to be more plea
Q ant and profitable to behave thenaseive

The blizzard that swept down
from the north on last Sunday
night was a storm of unusual mag
nitude and violence. While much
suffering is reported from all over
the country on account of the cold,
accounts from its effect on the
ocean are still more alarming. Sew
eral large sea-going vessels have
been towed into port in damaged
condition, while others have not
been heard from, and grave fears
are entertained as to their fate.

Holiday Festivities.

Merry-making has been the rule for
Colfax and vicinity during the holidays,
and both old and young took part with
vim unknown for years. Such relaxation
from care is beneficial, and should be en-
joyed by all. It's good custom to renew
friendships and forget all differences and
strifes at the close OF the Old Year, start
ing upon the glad New Year with the
hope and promise of doing more good and
being better friends and citizens.
Christmas Eve the children and parents
Of the town gathered at the court house
to give and receive presents from a,
christmas String" Mexican innova-
ton in place of the customary stree"
The arrangement consisted Of three gar
landed strings. festooned into alternating
loops, on which the presents were hung.
More than a hundred gifts were distribn-
ted, and much pleasure enjoyed by old
and young.
Monday night large bevy OF young
ladies, with their beaux, gathered at Le-
Sage's hall for dance. There were over
thirty ladies present, and, decked out in
their holiday attire, they constituted an
array Of beauty and grace such as has not
gathered in our midst for long time.
The refreshments were served in pro-
fusion about 10 o'clock. The music con-
sisted of two violins and a piano, eked
out occasionally with an accordeon, and
altogether none had reason to complain
for lack Of fun and frolick.
A fish pond" entertainment for the
benefit of the Catholic church, was given
at Mr.. G. H. Teal's residence on Tuesday
night. Miss Mary and Miss Louise, who
are home from the Alexandria st. Francis
convent for the holidays, assisted theil
mother as hostess, and the large crowd Of
friends who attended were well cared fol
and most handsomely entertained.
On Thursday night more than dozer
couples of the young folks Of Colfax, il
response to invitations extended. drove
in buggies and hacks to the residence o
Mr.. B. H. Phillips, five miles north OF thi
place, where they met with score o
more guests, all of whom were charming
| ly and Hospitality entertained by the hos
and his wife, ably seconded by Mise
Annie, Jeanette and Cornie, the three &C
complished and graceful daughters Of tn
household.

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. y. 1892.
What will the Democrats in the
next Congress do?' said Hon. Don
M. Dickerson, echoing the ques-
ton that had been asked him.
"Why, they will do just what is
right; that's what they were cleo
ted for. The Democratic party
more nearly represents the whole
people than any other party, and
for that reason it is better quail
fed to legislate for the whole PEG,
pie than is any other party. And
in the next Congress it is going to
be prepared for the first time in
many years to legislate; for, not
withstanding the present apparent
doubt as to the Senate of the Fifty
first Congress, I have the best OF
reasons for positively stating that
the Senate after the 4th of next
March will be controlled by the
Democratic party" While IN
Washington Mr.. Dickerson stated
that he had no idea of again going
into the cabinet, and expressed the
opinion that no member OF Mr..
Cleveland's old cabinet would be o
member of the new one.
Senator Carlisle declines to dis
cuss the matter but there seems to
be a general belief among Demo
Gratis in Congress that he can be
Secretary of the Treasury if he
wishes to.

Ward Seven All 0. X.

Having occasion to visit Mont
on last Tuesday afternoon
we bundled up and faced the little
"breeze" prevailing at that time,
arriving within the precincts OF the
red hill town about dusk. DR.. M.
A. Dunn kindly took US in charge
for the night, and, under the genial
glow of rousing fire, the timely
ministry of Mrs. Dunn and the in
teresting conversation of the doctor,
we thawed out sufficiently to grunt
our satisfaction and comfort to our
entertainers in monosylables. The
doctor is having a magnificent run
on his celebrated Thymoline Anti
septic, which is fast winning pat
ronage in Arkansas and Texas by
it's wonderful healing properties.
This remedy is something remark
able in its wide range of cures, and
is destined to bring the doctor
both fame and fortune.
A talk with the business men OF
Montgomery on Wednesday morn
ing developed the fact that they
were pretty fairly satisfied with
their business for the season, and
that they have bright hopes for
the prosperity and future of all the
people of that section. A. few
suffered severely by overflow, but
aside from this the hill people
made fair average crops, and the
good prices realized, has placed
them generally in easy circum.
stances. The great secret OF their
success lies in diversified farming
for the people of ward seven, more
than in almost any section in the
State, have turned their attention
to the cultivation of q wide range
Of farm produce. The outcome o.
this intelligent and economic poll
cy is evidently to the great better
ment and benefit of the entire com
munity.
| Another feature of pride ant
credit to Montgomery is her Higl
School which is an institution tina
any educational center might fee
honored to have in their midst.
The union store at Montgomer,
has been bought out by Mr.. b. A
Fortson, its former manager, tn
trade having been consummate'
} the first of this month. Mr.. Fort
son is building a new store house
and expects to move into it in fs'
days. The old union store ha
been bought by Mr.. J. II. William
why expects to tear it down an
|, move it, as the river bank has cave
so near as to be quite dangerous.
New buildings appear to be tt
order of the day. DR.. Dunn has
new drug store and labratory. M
G.. L. Etheridge has moved b
business and is keeping the po
Office in new building. Mr.. '
O. Harrison has made an extensi1
addition in the rear of his stor
The new store for B. A. Fortson
nearly completed. Also we notice
two or three buildings and add
tons in the resident portion OF Il
town. So all may be well in wa
seven, despite the hard times, al
the new year will be ushered
with contentment at the prospe
of happier and better times.
