Mayor ElIyson's Declinstion.
(Translated from the German Daily Ad.
yertiscrl

vertiser)
Our generally-beloyed and highly-eit!-
Client Mayor Ellyson has made the sur
prsng announcement that he will not
be a candidate for reelection for Mayor
OF the city at the next election TO be
held in May because his other business
engagements will not permit him TO devote
as much time TO the office as the in
terest OF the city will demand.
He thinks. with perfect right. that
under the existing circumstances he might
as we'll retire to private life again after
having devoted the last eighteen years
OF his life to the interests Of his fellow
citizens, either as a member Of the City
Council. as Senator. or as Mayor.
Richmond has had in Mr.. Ellyson one
OF i.e most able and representative
mayors the city ever had, and his
retirement from that office will be sim
cerely and generally regretted.

Regarding His Sons Suicide.

What Senior ok Has to Say
Regarding His Sons Suicide.
Minard Babcock ST., father OF Ed
ward Babcock, who SO cruelty muir
dered the Hemphill girl and then COM
mitted suicide, was in the city last
week. In speaking Of the sad event
he told the reporter that Edward was
engaged to marry the Stefani girl. In
fact the day was once fixed for their
marriage, but Mrs. Stefani interferred
and refused to allow the event to take
place. 1t was agreed between Kate
and Edward that they run away and
be married in Ponca. but this also
failed. These two circumstances seem
to have made Edward unusually mo-
ose and were the cause Of the terrible
tagedy. Stefani has a mortgage on
EDS horses and an hour after the
suicide he put his claim in the hands
OF the sheriff to collect. Rather mean
wasn't 1t? My 0 Minard refused to
permit the sheriff to take the horses
til the mortgage was due and told him
he would meet his death as quickly as
the Hemphill girl, il he ATTEMPTED to
do 80. / know Minard's disposition
and he will put a bullet through each
one Of the horses heads before he
perlnits them TO part from his posses
sion. No, there Ii nothing In the talk
that my boys propose to take their
revenge out In killing Mrs. 6tefani.

WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY,

Comments OF the vermi,iion Paper,
Upon the Accidental Shooting o
Overhulse.
Walter Hoffman, who Is now in jai
at Vermillion, writes to his paper, the
Freeman, an article under the caption
of@The Freeman's Sorrow" It is well
written, full OF penitence and sorrow
for the catastrophe In which he so UNI
willingly played 60 important a part.
We wish we had more space this week
that We migh2 print 1t In its entirety,
bnt a rush unlocked for prevents III
from SO doing. We print a section Of
the article, however:
Again and again In the history of
mankind have tragic and unforeseen
events been the promoters of much
good, and can not this last fatality be
an example to every young man and
can it not impress npon the minds of
all who read these lines that there is
no such thing as being too careful?
AS the writer sits in a prison cell
with ample time for. serious thought,
u poem of Longfellow is recalled,
Great mems lives all remind u.s. etc.
Let us heed and abide by the words
and turn owe Il new leaf now, ere it is
too late.
"Boys, take to heart the words Of a
boy and let US all govern ourselves ac-
c%ordingly. Let us live and act here
after like men,"
The Republican, in speaking of the
affair, comments IL follows:
"Vhpra iS VIC halinya mot npn v,bn
for a moment thinks that the shot was
fired from malicious motive or with i'll
natured intent. There are. on the
other hand, very few, but that believe
the firing Of that shot was one of the
most i~neXcusably foolish, tlagrnnt-
feloniOus, indeed-acts ever commit
ted. There are none, and we least of
all, who would entertain the slightest
display OF vindictiveEess in dealing
with the transaction, but it is time to
call a halt and institute a restraining
reformation, for, unless this be accom-
plished, the lives and limbs of all will
be placed in jeopardy. Why was it
necessary for a stalwart young man,
occupying a responsible position, to go
armed upon the occasion of taking a
New Years sleigh ride in company
with seven others, ladies and gentle
mem? And if In the habit of carving
a deadly weapon upon his person, why,
when passing along with his compan-
ions over a f~requented highway at AN
early hour in the evening, along which
farm houses are located in close prox-
unity, encountering groups of children
at play, why, we inquire was it neces.
sary for him to deliberately rise up in
the sleigh and draw that revolver and
discharge it in the direction, no matter
at what angle, OF "a party OF coasterss
just met? These are questions that
the people of our community are ask
ing and by fair legal process they will
demand u satisfactory answer And
they will insist upon an impartial in
vestigation. the result of which shall
afford them some sort of guarantee
that this and future repetitions OF like
of1enses shall not go unpublished"

Last week a committee composed Of
County Judge N. A. Kirk, H. A. Frank
lin and John Tracy appointed by
the board of county commissioners to
make a thorough examination of the
poor farm and report its condition to
the board.
The committee selected was from
u point of ability, and irrespective Of
religion, creed or politics. Messrs
Tracy and Franklin are two ms success
full farmers as can be found in Union
county. They examined the farm
critically and from the point of a tax
payer. Their report covers ten or
twelve pages Of foolscap, goes in de-
tail and lis flattering to the present
superintendent, John Mckeller.
The committee stated that they
found everything in good condition,
the stock looking well. The houses
and out buildings were in good repair,
and the machinery and farming uten-
sis carefully housed. The dwelling
house we found neat and clean and we
believe well and economical managed
under the present superintendent and
matron, Mr.. and Mrs. John Mckeller.
In the institution we found the fol-
lowing inmates: Napoleon Brouel-
ettce, aged AZ; Mrs. Gertrude Olbue,
aged 80; and Florence Boucher, aged
81. All appeared to be well and CON-
fortabiy cared for, their age and in
firmities being considered. Two in
mates died during the year: Nels Mel
son, aged 50 years, on July %, and
Mrs. Catherine Eggins, uged So on
December 3, 1898.
