THE time for the election of a
new set of city officers is drawing
nigh. What the State Journal says
relative thereto for the considera-
ton of the citizens of Madison is
equally appropriate for the citizens
of Mineral Point. Here it is: Gre
forms in local government and the
bettering of the public service in
municipal affairs is to be brought
about by good citizens cooperating
in the local elections. True. But
what viii bring about this much
desired cooperation? What will
cause citizens to take an interest in
securing good nominations for
mayors and councilmen? One might
reasonably think that in a city like
this, where the citizens are so much
interested in public improvements
and the welfare of the city that they
will subscribe money literally for
the general good, there would be a
deep and abiding interest in the
business affairs of the munici pality
and that the leading business men
would be willing to serve in the
council and contribute some time
to the successful operation of i'm
portant municipal enterprises. There
is one reason why they have not
done so up to this time, and that is
the fact that local political affairs
are conducted on national and state
political lines and the nomination
on one ticket means pretty certain
election, no matter as to the business
qualification of the respective
candidates. City affairs should be
conducted iii a business-like man.

which included fees, interest and

For several months past George HUFF
and Green Payne, who own large
number OF cattle on . farm adjacent to
the city, have from time 10 timo missed
several head of the same. All their
efforts to capture tho thieves proved
fruitless. For tho last three weeks
careful watch has boon kept over tho
movements OF parties whom they sus-
pcctcd.
Yesterday morning about O'Clock
couple of young ste ers belonging to Mr..
Huff were stolen from the Rogers farm
and driven to tho slaughter house of j.
HolcOmb, about four miles south.
west of the city, near tho old Rorer iron
n1ncs, where they were butchered. Mr..
uuii was close on tho track of the cattle
but did not arrive in t;me to identify
Thorn before they were killed.
George Delaney and John Wesley
Ed wards, both colored, were arrested
and lodged in jail. Joe Slaughter,
another accomp,ice, was not arrested
tor tho reason no could not be found
Last night Mr.. Huff and TIMES re-
porter visited Edwards in his cell, and
he admitted he was the party who stole
the cattle, but that no was employed
by Mr.. Holcomb to do it and further
added that Holcomb won't with the
PARTY as far aS tho Franklin street
bridge, and told them to tell his butcher
To kill the cattle. He also confessed that
in Nove I Der last tho same party, un-
der the supervision Of Iialcomb, stole
four cattle from Mr.. Huff and drove
them over the mountain, and there be
ing ono too poor to kill for beef, that
ilolcOmb drove it back to the barn
whero it had been stolen from.
On this evidence Mr. Huff swore out
warrant for uolcomb, VINO was arrested
and brought to the station house. The
reporter asked him what he knew con-
corning the matter. He said: Il did
not know anything about il until this
morning about half past Eve O'Clock
Joe Slaughter and John Wesley Edwards

The Bonds Were Not Sold.

Tho option which Spitzor Sc Co. hold
on the last offer of Roanoke city bonds
expired last night, and it is understood
frcm reliable sources that they have
not taken tho bonds. Tho statement
was made to Council that Splitter e Co.
had purchased them. This seems not
to be the case. The bonds still remain
the property of the city, aud Splitter &
Co. have not come to time. The reason
for their failure to do so cannot be
definitely stated, but it is understood
that their excuse for not living up to
the letter OF what was supposed to be
their contract is that they failed to
receive from the proper city officials full
and definite particulars in regard to the
formalities of issue and the entire
legality of the bonds.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. IA new turn
was taken to day in the case of tho
merchant prince, Steve Ryan, whose
gigantic failure OF year ago will be
remembered, especially IN business
circles, and who has been in Jail for a
year for contempt Of court in refusing
to deliver certain assets which the court
decided he had in his possession. For
some time his attorney has been en-
deavoring to secure trial by jury and
Ryan's release from Jail on bond until
the trial could be had. After lengthy
hearing, Judge Clarke granted their
prayers to-day. Ryan again breathes
the air of freedom outside the Jail
walls. His bond is for SlOO, 900.
