The Red Oak Express wants to send
an orator to congress from this dis
trict, so that the Ninth district would
receive some of the Favorable COM
ment" that other Iowa districts are
receiving. Orators are all right aud a
good thing to have, but really, there
are some very competent representa-
tives in congress, who are not orators
We have always thought, and have, as
yet, no reason to change the opinion,
that this Ninth district make mis-
take in changing congressman so often.
The present representative, Hon. A. l..
Hager, has made al enyiable record in
congress, and, without any disparage-
ment of the Montgomery county can
didate, we think it will be no mistake
to return Mr.. Hager next fall.

The Atlantic Telegraph in al edi-
toriaHon the "The Influence of Talk
says the following very plain truth:
"One man, whose liver is out of order
and who sees everything through a
pair of blue spectacles, and who is
continually growing about hard times
to the citizen he meets or to the
stranger who comes i'll his way, pours
out tale of woe about the town being
as dead as a door nail and trade all
gone to the bow vows, when he passes
on, leaves his hearers with a depressed
feeling, who feel surprised that they
had not before observed the deplorable
state of affairs. The stranger is i'm.
pressed with the idea that the town is
dead, the taxes so high that any man
of means who would come to the town
to locate would be robbed with nc
chance to make more, or even to exc
out respectable living. Such zap az
this, if kept up and listened to, viii
kill the best town in Iowa if INDUCED
in by any considerable number Of
citizens. The stranger is given baG
impression on the start and those who
are here are unconsciously influenced
more or less by it."

1t is probable that the proposed appro-
briation of $780, 900 for Memorial hall,
and $40, 900 for paving in front of capt.
tol grounds may be deferred for want of
funds.
In addition to these the house COM
mittee has endorsed the proposition for
the establishment of home for epilep-
tics and an appropriation of $500
therefor. The same committee has re-
ported favorably on the bill of $50, 900
for purchase and removal of the Bona
parte dam in order to allow the fish to
pass up the Des Moines river. The bill
for the appropriation of $21, 500 to re-
lmburse the citizens of Iowa who were
ut the expense of making showing for
the state in the Cotton centennial at
New Orleans has passed the senate and
Is under consideration by the commit

has voted to recommend the payment of

claim, but the senate has voted against
the claim and it will undoubtedly fail
Of final passage. The appropriations
already provided for exceed 5000, 900 if
the Memorial hall and paving appropria-
tons are allowed, and this sum is con-
siderably in excess of the amount that

Well Bryan was beaten. We
were truly sorry to hear this, but
hope and pray that four years may
work a reversal OF sentiment IN
the middle western states and send
them bounding into the Bryan
ranks. Our grief is alloyed with
| Joy however that the mcst pitiful
exhibition of pure "cussedness"
ever exhibited on the American
continent-Palmer and Buckners
race-was stamped so hard by the
American voters that it "busted"
into a thousand fragments. These
men met a merited sllowunder.

Thank God if Bryan didn't car
ry the votes, he carried the terrific

that Bryan carried would swallow
| the number that Mckinley carried
and have many to spare. 1t shows
that the great expanse of eastern
and western territory that will one
day be the controlling power in the
United States is not yet divorced
from right and truth. The far

great industries of our country are
not yet ready to own the shackles

PROCEEDINGS OF COURT.

The Court of General Sessions
was adjourned on Monday OF this
week. The following are the ac-
qnittals, convictions aid sentences,
al least the most important.
Robert RADON charged with
house breaking and larceny was
sentenced to the penitentiary for
twelve months, John Henry Rich
ardscal, murder, not guilty; Frank
Cain, assault and battery with in
tent 10 kill wag found guilty and
sentenced to the county chain
gang; Henry Sheppard larceny
from the field, was found guilty,
county chain gang six months or
penitentiary al his option; the two
cases for violating the dispensary
law against William Alexander and
W. W. Hall were not pressed.
Sam Oliver, charged with beat
.ng his daughter so that she died
in consequence, was convicted OF
manslaughter and sentenced for
ten years at hard labor; Will
Abney and Ed. Nix, one year on
chain gang or penitentiary for same
period; Gus Butler six months on
chain gang or same time in penl-
tentiary or 5000 fine.
The most interesting case prob
ably that has occupied the atten-
ton of the court at this session
was that of Pickens Settles colored,
charged with killing c h ar 9 S
sprowies, his son in law. Settles
is an old cripple, foreman on a
plantation of Capt. Scott Allen OF
Fruit Hill. He was shot in the
bowels KY sprowles, and it was
supposed was killed, but after a
few moments of unconsciousness'
according to the testimony of wit
nesses, arose to his kuees and "said
his prayers" but while saying
Amen reached for his gun took de-
liherate aim at his..feeing adversa-
ry and put sixty-four shot in his
body producing almost instant
death. In this case SolicitoF-elect
Thurmond and NJ. P. Wells Esq,
appeared for the defence and So
licitor Nelson for the State. The
case was fought vigorously on both
sides, Mr.. Thurmond especially
surprised his friends at the extent
of his knowledge of medical jurls,
prudence. These two legal com
batants bad 1t so Dot ana heaVy
that one old darkey was heard tc
remark that, "Mr. Nelson rared

an aceuittal for Settles and great
rejo. cling on the part Of his aplored
and white friends Of which he
seemed to have a goodly share.

sion and will last during this week,
probably longer.
