CLEVER 6ALUSHA.
He Gets a Patent on a Great In
ventiOn.

On Tuesday Sept. 18th, E.G. Bailey,
of this city, was granted letters patent
for an attachmeht to steamboat
wheel which promises to revolutionize
steamboating in this country. 1t pro-
vides for an improved axial bearing
for the paddle. constructing the same
so that they will leave the water edge
wise, and thus prevent the retarding
of the wheel, which IS occasioned when
the paddle leaves the water, bearing
fatty against the same as if to lift a
body of the water in their upward
movement. =
The paddles are formed in two
longitudinal sections, the adjacent
edges of sections being grooved for
the accommodation of p longitudinal
rod upon which the paddle turns.
Each paddle is recessed at the end for
the accommodation of bearings which
are held in place in the recesses by
traverse straps which also serve to
hold the sections of the paddle Sc
curely together. These ,bearings re-
lieve the paddles from wear.
In order to have the paddles leave
the water in vertical rather than a
horizontal position, which latter would
retard the wheel greatly, Mr.. Bailey
has very cleverly provided the lower
longitudinal edges of the paddle with
metallic strip, serving as weight
for holding the paddles normally in a
vertical position upon the rods on
which they turn while being elevated
from the water.
M. Bailey's mail is heavy with APP
plications for the right to sell and
manufacture the paddles, but he will
probably sell the patent outright, as
he will also the other two patents re-
Gently secured.

A BOLD ASSAULT.
Oscar Sites Terrible Experience
With TWO HighWaymen.

Oscar NJ. Sites, farmer residing
six miles west of this city, had terri
bic experience with would-be bold
highwaymen, last Saturday evening,
after eleven O'Clock. He was on his
way home, and had just got beyond
the Buechner residence on the road
running into Bridge street, when two
men sprang up from the left side Of
the highway, one throwing a large
stone at Sites, and the other attempt
ing to seize the horse with the appar-
ent intention of stopping the animal.
The stone struck Sites on the back,
near the top of the head, the blow be-
ing glancing one, and cuttinga cash
an inch and half long, removing the
skin from the skull SO that a finger
could pass under the skin the distance
of an inch.
The horse took fright at the sudden
appearance of the men id the dark,
foggy night, and ran. The two men
attempted to catch the buggy, but
they were unsuccessful. Sites re-
NAMED in, and in few minutes
brought up to Geo. Whittet's house,
bnt was unable to awake the occu-
pants. He drove on to John Clark's
place on the Willard farm and aroused
Mr.. Clark, who came out and found
Sites head almost completely covered
with blood, which was flowing freely
from the ugly scalp cash. Sites was
taken into the house, and an effort
made to check the blood, but after two
hours the attempt was given up, Sites
brought to town, taken to DR.. Films,
where the wound was properly dressed
and the blood checked. The loss of
blood was something terrible, and that
Siteseould stand it as long as he did
speaks of strong constitution. He
is now doing we'll.
Sites has been running threshing
machine this fall, and his men have
been complaining of poor pay during
his season. On Saturday afternoon,in
the saloons of the city, could be heard
frequent rumblings of trouble in case
Sites did not pay up. The latter Mr..
Sites claims to have done on Saturday
afternoon to all the men he could find
in town. The two men who made. the
desperate assault upon him are sup
posed to be members of the crew who
had not received their dough" and
who carried out in part the threats
made in saloons.

J. N. DUNNINGroNs

James M. Huntington was born in
Woodsfield, Monroe Co., Ohio, just
across from the Virginia line, in Feb
ruary, l84lAand is consequently 81
years old. He was one of a family of
ten, his father being a printer on Con-
gresham Jim Morris Spirit of De-
mocracy. Young Huntington attend
ed school at Woodsfeld until eleven
years Of age, when, together with his
parents, he moved to McC onnellsville,
where his father engaged in the mer-
camille business, and James was sent
to Beverly College, where he received
q good commercial education. After
he left college he worked in tobacco
warehouse until the opening of the
civil war, when, on July 9Th, 1861, he
enlisted in Co. II, 18th Ohio Regiment,
and was with that regiment in Is
battles and skirmishes, among them
Cheek Mountain Summit, Camp Ale
cheney, Mcdowell, Franklin, Shenan-
doah Valley, Cross Keys, Second Bat
tie of Bull Run, Charlottesville, Get
tYsburg, going from the latter place to
South Carolina, and engaging in the
battle at Norris Island and skirmishes
around Jacksonville. At Gettysburg,
of his regiment, he was one of only
forty left after the fight, and this bat
tie gave the regiment the sobriquet of
one of 'Cox's 800 fighting regiments
of the war" The regiment returned
to Columbus and on July rs, 1864,
was honorably mustered out of SER
vice, Mr.. Huntington going partner
ship with State Senator Holbrook and
boring wells in the Federal Creek Oil
Regions. Afterwards he went into the
boot and shoe business with gentle
man named Sheridan at Malta. Later
he sold out his interests there and
went into the grocery business at Nc
Connellsville, doing good business
for four years. In 1881 he came west
to Redwood Falls and entered the
mercantile business, groceries exclus-
lively and continued the same for eight
years, when he sold out to his son,
Charles M. Huntington, returning to
Ohio. But the State had lost it's charms
for him and he returned to Minnesota,
this city land again entered in the mer-
camille business in the building he
now occupies on the corner of Second
and Washington. He was married in
October, 1864, to Miss Hannah Hol-
brook, daughter to ex-Representative
end State Senator Holbrook, of Ohio,
and has two children. rs
Mr.. Huntington is one of those keen
shrewd business men, who believes in
doing business on a cash basis, pleas
ing and clever to his patrons, giving
them what they pay for and always
getting his pay for what they get. His
policy has proved itself successful
one, as his credit is unimpeachable in
the commercial marts of the east.

A LANDMARK GONE.
The Exchange Barn Destroyed by
Fire---A Horse Cremated.,

Fire in the old barn connected with
the Exchange Hotel, burned one horse
SO badly that it was necessary to kill
the animal, damaged the barn to the
extent of about $50, and destroyed
hay and other articles valued at from
$25 to $50, shortly after nine o'clock
last Saturday evening.
The fire originated from a lantern
in the hands of Dr.~J. A. Beard, who
was in the hay loft pushing hay into
a schultz, the lantern turning over,
falling into the schultz, and at once
exploding. The flames spread rapid
ly, and before the department arrived
on the grounds the entire roof was in
flames. All of the horses, except one,
and COW, we're rescued, before the
flames made much Roadway. The re-
naming horse, in a center stall, and
belonging to Mr.. Cooper,t the Exchange
Hotel proprietor, was so badly burned
before it was rescued that it was killed
by Patrolman French.
The department did excellent work
III extinguishing the flames and keep
ing them from spreading to the hotel.
and the water that issued from. the
pipes with such effect was sufficient
commentator for the water works.
The barn was the property Of George
E. Case, of St. Peter, as is also the
hotel. It was landmark, having been
built by the late James Mcmillan,
when he was conducting that hostelry
in 1869 or 1870, and figured conspicu-
ously in the Gould WEIGH hotel troub-
les later, the out family occupying the
hay loft with their goods. The de-
struction at the present time is quite,
loss to Mr.. Cooper, the Exchange
proprietor.

TOUCHING SOLD tRs INTERESTS.

Corporal Tanner, who has been a
leading orator for the Republicans for
the paSt-quarter of century, has evil
IDENTITY parted with the bulk of his love
and devotion for the &. o. p. The Cor
pCral was a leading orator for Harrison
in the famous campaign of 1888. Last
fall when the Corporal was called upon
to again crate for Harrison, he respect
fully but firmly refused to open even
one corner of his mouth. During the
whole of that eventful campaign the
Corporal was silent. How he voted, his
best friends DO not know. And now
that Harrison is about to leave the
White House and Grover Cleveland
is to go in, the Corporal goes to New
Hampshire on an Invitation from the
Grand Army and he makes speech be
fore the State Encampment of the
Grand Army Of New Hampshire in
which he says, with mucn vim and
vigor, that the real veterans of the war
have nothing 90 fear from Grover
Cleveland or a Democratic Congress.
He takes occasion, in the same grafton,
to remark that some who are now
drawing pensions, who did no fighting
during the war, but who have been
firing blank cartridges ever since, may
suffer, but the Corporal, (Who lost both
his legs in battle,) thinks the real veter-
ans will be able to stand 1t.
These remarks, coming from an old
time Republican and legless veteran,
who stands at the front of the Grand
Army, are worthy of careful pondering
by the ex-soldiers OF the Republic.

MOB LAW IN KANSAS.

AS law and order party the Bepub-
lican party of Kansas is cruel and
UloOd-thirsty failure. Defeated in the
election for Governor; defeated in the
election for the control of the legisla-
ture, the leaders organize an armed
conspiracy, and invade the State Capt.
tOl, batter down the doors of the House
of representatives, and defy the Gov.
ernOr and the militia. Do the organs
Of the G. o, p, outside Of Kansas, dlsap-
prove of this? Not much. Here is
what the Cleveland Leader of today
says about it:
"The Kansas POpulists are defying
the laws in true Anarchist style. 1t is
only q step from government paWnshOp
socialism to genuine anarchy"
Now we Will suppose case. Suppose
the Republicans had carried the Kansas
legislature and elected the Governor,
and q mob of Populst9, armed with
Winchester rifles, had invaded the State
Capitol, and battered down tho doors
and defied the State authority, how
would the organs of the g. 0. p. talked
about it? Does any one doubt, they
would have indicted every one Of the
POpulists for treason 20 the state, as
they did the starving and lOcked-Out
laborers at Homestead. And if the
Democrats of any southern state had
acted as the Republican leaders Of
Kansas are now acting, every Republi-
can organ from PenObscOt to Puget
Sound would have invoked the gods of
pIofane English to curse the act, and
have called for prison bars to lock in
for a whole generation, "the hellions of
dead rebellion, whose hate of the
Union is as venOmOus, as when the
murderOus legions Of jeff Davis were
Haunting the Stars and Bars above the
gray battalions of treason"
Everybody knows that the above
would have been the party battle cry.
But now another OK is gOred, and 10,
the organs of high moral ideas, are en-
dOrsi8g mob law and armed outlaWry.
How have the mighty fallen.

GALLANT OHIO soL0IERaoNE

We are in receipt of ths Bucyrus
Telegraph, containing sketch of the
life and career of Gen. s. s, Carroll, who
recently died in Washington. Gen.
Carroll was we'll known to nearly all the
older citizens of Canton and Stark
county, especially the soldiers of the
war. Gen. Carroll commanded the 9Th
D. V, l., regiment with a magnificent
fighting record.
The Immediate cause of Gen. Car
rolls death is given as pneumonia, but
his comrades OF the 9Th Ohio will re-
member the terrible wounds he received
during the war, having been shot
through one lung at CeGar Mountain,
and on the 9th day of May, 1864, in the
Wilderness" of Virginia, he WAS shot
through the right arm. Afterwards,
during that awful struggle at the
BLOODY Angle" in the battle near
Sp0ttsylvania court house, he had his
left arm terribly shattered, and in fact
was reported as "shOt to pieces" A
section of the bone was removed from
his arm, and it was thought there was
no chance for his life. Still he re-
covered, or partially, so, but with his
vitality so much impaired that the
primary cause Of his death is regarded
by the most eminent authority as due
to the effect of these wounds.
