Farmers Fight To Death.

NEwARK, o., Aug 5.-The Smith farm,
near Chatham, was the scene to-day of a
shooting affair, which resulted in the instant
death Of one OF the participants and the
wounding of three others, one probably
fatally Washington Smith. the owner oi
the farm, has ason-ir-law, William Howell
who had planted some wheat on the Smith
farm on shares. There had previously been
some bitter words in regard to the division
oftlis wheat, and Howe had been warned
by Smith not TO attempt to thrash it.
This morning Howell and bis son Edward,
accompanied BY number ofmachine hands,
made their appearance on the field. They
were met by old man Smith and his two
sons, Asa and Charley. Without the in
terchaDge Of words, Asa opened fire on the
Howells with a revolver.
The attacked party replied with shooters.
After a number ofshots had been exchanged,
Asa Smith fell to the ground killed, and
Charley fell with bullet through his lungs.
Washington Smith, who took no part in the
battle, was wounded in the hip by stray
ballet and William Howell was shot in the
knee

Attacked BY an Eagle.

TOLEDO Aug. The only golden eagle
ever seen in this part of the country is a
captive at the residence of Joseph Maynes in
this city. Yesterday morning Mr.. Haynes.
with Peter Barqnin, went frog fishing in the
marshes along the Ottowa river. Maynes
90; after q monster frog. He was about to
get it when a monstrous eagle swooped down
upon him. 1t seized him between the shoul-
der blades, its sharp talons piercing through
his oveicoat and undercoat and cutting into
the hesh.
The bird beat its wings and lifted Maynes
from his feet. Maynes weighs 15l pounds,
so the burden seemed 700 great fr the bird,
and while attempting the third time to get
Maynes into the air it was struck on the
head by the latter with his frog spear He
got one arm around the birds neck and
pounded it on the head with his club. Bar
quin kicked ii into insensibiIity. While it
was in this condition rope was procured
and the bird was tied to tree. 1t measures
feet inches across the wings, weighs 35
pounds and stands feet inches.

ThIevee Bleed a County.

\ dispatch from Wichita, Kan, says -
The arrest of George II. sherley, Of tais city
and c. w. Rogers, ofNewton, shas solved the
four-months mystery of the destruction OF
the public records Of Harvey county, which
threw the people almost into frenzy. The
crime was perpetrated March Is, the vaults
of the Register of Deeds being broken into,
and the entire records of property in the
county burned. Detectives have been al
work ever siEee, but not until Monday were
Sherley and Rogers arrested, with evidence
sufficient, it is asserted. TO convict them be-
yond doubt. II is said that they have eyi-
dsnoe that these men not only planned the
arson, but paid a man 500 for doing it.
They had a mortgage on the only set Of
abstract books in Harvey county Soon af-
ter the burning of the records they foreclos-
ed the mortgage and took the books. The
citizens were wild with excitement, for MOTH
ing was iefrto show who owned either prop
erty or mortgages, and every man or wom-
an who wanted to convey piece Of proper
ty was compelled 20 pay SO for every trans
fer to Sherley and Rogers.
As there are oftentimes 20 transfers in one
contract, the cost would sometimes reach as
high as 500. This extortion caused so
much excitement that the County Commiss-
toners offered fabulous prices for the books
of Sherley and Rogers. The latter finally
offered the books for $4,000, which the
Commissioners were on the eve of accepting
when the arrests were made. The feeling
against the men is intense, and the men will
be closely guarded to avert the vengeance of
the people.

We have everything that we had last year
except confidence and prosperity. What
We have this year that We did not have last
yesr is the new management which the
people last November put in charge Of the

Of this country, believing that the Democrats
viii keep their solemn pledges, are forced to
prepare for the change Sensitive capital
and business. assured the storm is to come,
Try to get out Of it and under shelter. If the
new political management does not mean to
carry out the policy promised, and I sincere
ly hope it does not, good conscience and good
morals demand that it aIlay the universal
alarm by promptly announcing that il has
abandoned it.
The change from protection TO a tariff
for revenue only is so great, so sweeping,
that every ts0ughtful man knows it viii be
followed by revelation in values and
wages Of labor To make the change at a
tine ike this would be a great calamity
Il should be the aim of every one to bring
the country back to the prosperity it 50 re
Gently lost.
Politics should not be permitted TO deter
any Of Us from performing a plain duty.
The politics which interfere with the return
of good times should be reformed. Our
country first is the true American sentiment.
All should join in patriotic effort to restore
confidence, give steadiness and integrity TO
our finances, employment to our millions
of workmen and the country an opportunity
for its greatest development. The congress
assembling to-day has rare opportunity to
serve its country and its eountrymen."

FosroRIA, o Aug. Ia large number Of
farmers in this vicinity are feeding their
wheat to hogs, rather than sell it at the low
prices now ruling. Hogs are quoted st from

it is estimated that bushel of wheat prop
erly ground and prepared and fed with lit
tie other feed to give variety, will put from
fifteen to twenty pounds of flesh on a
healthy hog. This being the case the farm
er can easily realize dollar bushel for his
wheat and save the trouble Of hauling it to

ONR Of the crowning glories Of the Re
publican party is the fact that under It's
rule there has always been work at good
wages for all who were willing to work.
Now, with only five months Of Democrat
ie rule, multitude Of men have been
forced into idleness, public charity Is be-
ing taxed to feed the unemployed, and in
the city Of Denver and other western
towns soup houses have been established
and rations have been issued to keep
from actual starvation the men thrown
out Of employment. Enforced idleness
and lack Of food is driving men to crime,
and tramps are beginning to infest all

To obtain cheapness for commodities IS
