liam system, a synopsis of which ap-
pears in another column. All of the
present officers are supposed to be can
didates for rejection with the exception
OF Mayor Wagner and there is no ap-
parent reason why they should not be
retained in their present position.
Schilling has made a diligent aud trust
worthy clerk, the councilmen have not
hesitated to pass laws for the improve
ment of the city and the advancement
of her interests and the other officers
have served the people we'll. Mayor
Wagner has made a first class MAYOR
and it is to be regretted that his health
will not permit him to serve in that ca
pacity for another term. He is deter
mined, however, to retire. and Says that
he would not accept under any condi-
tions, even were the nomination to be
rendered him on gold platter be-
decked with sapphires. VIM. Koch is
being mentioned as a probable success
sor and vigorous boom has already
been started in his behalf.

they were when the war closed in
1865 in the Northern States. Prices
were high, labor was employed, money
was plentiful and the people were
free from debt. That was the condi-
ton in the Northern States IN 1865.
What was the condition in the South
when the war closed? Trodden down
by two armies, vanquished, humilI-
ated. They had nothing left but tie
water and the air and the land, and
as you, my comrades, they did not

Where was the money that was in

HE HUGGED A PANTHER.

But Mr.. Prideaux's Adventure Was
Not an Amorous One by Any
Means,
The Punah correspondent OF the
Times OF India OF Bombay, described
an exciting adventure with wounded
panther. Mr. Prideaux, an Assistant
Commissioner in the Berars, went
out after some deer on April 2, about
fourteen miles from Yeotmal, in the
Wun district. While on the track he
heard some rustling in the long grass
not far from where he was. Looking
in the direction from whence the noise
proceeded, he observed large panth-
err moving slowly along in the grass.
He leveled his rifle and fired. The
panther fell and dragged himself q
few yards, and lay theregroaning. Go
ing close up to the spot to see what
effect his shot had had, Mr.. PrideauX
saw that the panther had been hit
very badly in the stomach. He made
sure the animal was dying, but sudden
ly the wounded panther jumped up,
charged Mr.. Prideaux, and sprang up
on him. Mr.. Prideaux aimed q second
shot at his head, but in the excite
ment Of the moment he missed his
mark; the bullet struck the panther
in the hind leg, SCATTERING the bone.
To save his throat, Mr.. Prideaux put
up his left arm, which the panther
seized, and man and brute rolled over.
The panther mauled Mr.. Prideaux's
left arm very badly. Fortunately,
he had q plucky native hunter with
him. The latter struck his spear
into the panther's throat, and pinned
him to the ground. This gave Mr..
Pridcaux the opportunity ofregaining
his feet, and, having got up, he seized
his rifle and soon dispatched the
animal with o third bullet. Then,
having bound up his wounds, he
mounted his pony and rode back
fourteen miles into Xeotmal, where he
was fortunate enough to find medical
assistance. Unhappily, however,
fever soon set in, and the arm began
to mortify, but by the latest accounts
the patient was doing well. The
whole OF the soft part of the upper
arm and part of the biceps muscle
have been cut away, the wound being
about five inches long by three inches
broad.

LONDON. June 28-In spite of the re-

warnings that have been sent out by the
United States legation here, the lie. alton
continues to be inundated with letters in

William Lord Moore, who has been shown
up several times lately is doing larger
business than ever, and that the victims of
the estate agency craze are distributed all
over the United States, but especially in the
most remote districts. Mr.. Lincoln has
conferred with the postottice authorities,
but there is no way to stop the trade except
by criminal prosecution. In view OF the

frauds can be stopped. MIR. Lincoln to-day
