IN A FIT OF JEALOUSY
Albert Somerville Kills Ella Somerville and
Thar IN irid do


Then Attempts Suicide.
RICHMOND, Tex, April 1s.-Albert
Somerville, in fit of jealousy, shot
and almost instantly killed Ella SOM
erville, a daughter of Judge H. l.. Som
erville, postmaster of this city, Satur-
day morning, then attempted suicide,
but made only a slight wound. Miss
Somerville was popular and highly
esteemed young lady. The young man
came here recently from Alabama,
where his parents reside. He is a
nephew of Judge Somerville and was
visiting at his uncles house at the time.
The tragedy occurred in the street just
in front of Somerville's home. Young
Somerville was in love with the young
lady, but on account of relationship
between the young people the parents
refused to consent to their marriage.
Somerville is in jail.

erection and streng thening of needed
fortifications Even the Democrats
admit that in view Of the recent cocky
attitude of the United States, which
has been so generally endorsed by pub
lie sentiment, we must make some
preparations to defend ourselves in
case of war, and the strongest friends
of peace regard such preparation as the
surest way of remaining at peace with
the world. The nation that is thorough
ly prepared to defend itself is very
seldom attacked. fH
It seems difficult to believe that any
man of even ordinary common sense
would endorse the scheme which is
heralded as the one upon, which the
Democratic party, hopes to oy elect, g
President this year, bua such men az
Senator Harris, of; Tennessee andfex-
Speaker Crisp, of Georgia, have been
publicly@6pokeh of as endorsing it and
no denials have been made. So it is
presumed that they and the other DEM
ocrats mentioned in the same connec-
ton do endorse the scheme, which is
several points worse than its very
worst predecessor According to the
scheme, the Democrats are to keep up
their present fight among themselves
over silver, and the majority of the
Chicago convention is to decide wheth.
er gold or silver candidate and plat
form shall be set up. Whichever way
the convention goes the minority is to
bolt and put out ticket and platform
in accordance with its views. Then
there will be two Democratic national
tickets in the field, one for silver and
one for gold, and just here the fine
work of the scheme is to begin. Only
one set of Democratic Presidential
electors are to be run in each state,
the silver ticket to haye clear field in
those states in which the silver senti-
ment is believed to be dominant and
the gold ticket in those states where a
majority are likely to be for gold.

such poor opinion of the intelligence
of the voters that they believe, or say
they do, that enough states can be
carried by the two Democratic tickets
combined to make majority in the
electoral college, and they propose
that they shall all be cast for the
ticket which has a majority of them.
Now isn't that scheme worthy of the
party which has stood for about every
imaginable side of every public ques-
tion, and which has invariably adopted
a national platform that could be in
terpreted TO represent the views of
voters radically opposed to each other?
Playing the voters for fools is very
old Democratic game-nothing else
kept the south solid for years; but let
them try this double ticket game and
the Democrasic party will never have
another national ticket. S.

THE POLITICIAN.

1t will not be the fault of the House
if there is not an early adjournment of
Congress. Only one appropriati bill
General Defciency-remains to be
acted upon, and the Committee on
Rules is now engaged in mapping out
program as to how to dispose of the re-
manning time of the session. Although
nothing is yet definitely decided upon,
it is regarded as certain that the Bank.
ruptcy bill, the bill for the codifcation
of pension laws, and as many of the
contested election cases as can be re-
ported will be disposed of before ad-
journment. 1t is doubtful whether
any other measures of national impor-
tance will be considered, although the
pressure to dispose of the Pacific Rail-
roads bill, which has been agreed upon,
IS strong, and Speaker Reed is per-
sonally in favor of disposing of it at
this session; but many members think
they would prefer having chance to
familiarize themselves with this bill be-
fore voting upon it and for that reason
favor postponing its consideration until
the next session. So far as known the
Senators will throw no obstacles in
the way of ea;ly adjournment, but
Senator German has dropped hint
which some believe to indicate the con-
trary.
Senator Quay is back in his seat, but
further than to say that he has not
withdrawn his name as candidate for
the Republican nomination and that
he is entirely satisfied with the present
outlook he will not talk for publication
about the campaign for the nomina-
tion. The Mckinley men are as conf
dent as ever that he will be the nomi-
nee and they are doing more talking
than the supporters of the other candi-
dates There is reason to believe that
Speaker Reed has personally called
down several of his prominent support
ers whom he thought were talking too
much, by advising them to do more
hustling and less talking.
1t took the House just three hours,
the greater portion of that time being
taken up with speeches in favor of the

HOW THEY GOT AWAY.
The Naval Militia People Here Skipped
the Picket.

The Naval Militia People Here Skipped
the Picket.
The story of how the naval militia
boys came to be here Friday is out.
Thursday night when all the Naval
militia were supposed to be sleeping
peacefully ID the hard hunks or the
soft ground at Camp Logan, ninteen
brave spirits got up conspiracy to get
through the picket lines and skip.
One man was detailed to go ahead of
the bunch and let the picket chase
him, which he did according to pro-
gram. The eighteen then broke into a
run in a bunch and the picket being
ratified caught no one.
Some of the crowd went to Wauke-
gan and some came here. They all
had red hot time. Some Of them had
not returned to camp Friday night.
Their penalty is imprisonment in the
guard house.
One private managing to receive a
playful blow from another last night,
Immediately doubled up and was car
ried to the hospital tent. He thus es-
capped duty.
Camp was broken this morning.

THAT SALEM CAUCUS.
j. F. Thompson Makes an Explana-
tion

/ ZION.
WILMOT, Wis, August |, l896-MR.
| EDITOR 1t has been rumorod that
certain politicians through the county
| mot in Salem) claim to be very much
concerned about the manner in which
Salem selected her delegates to repre-
sent the town in the coming county
convention. But the real cause of all
this political bosh is more likely to be
| found in the fact that the republicans
of our town had the audacity to elect
delegates who are presumably favor
able to one of Salem's republicans as a
candidate for sheriff, and as under
stand the name of Mr. Bloss is being
used in connection with the criticisms
made on our caucus, feel it my duty
to give to the voters of Kenosha county
the plain facts in the case. In the first
place, the caucus was called by the re-
publican town committee not on the
advice or even the suggestion OF Mr..
BlOss or any other person. The call
was worded in such a manner as to
give the voters to understand that the
delegates would be elected to represent
the town at both the conventions. My
reason and only reason for this was
that | thought it would be more salts
factory to our people than to be called
out twice during the busy season.
Knowing that this had not been the
usual custom, thought it my duty to
take special pains in notifying it, and
accordingly caused notices to be posted
in the five different postoffices in the
town, viz. Wilmot, Trevor, Salem,
Silver Lake and Camp Lake, and sent
a copy to your office, which you kindly
published in your issue of the 10th.
The result was one Of the largest eau
cuses Of representative republicans ever
held in the town, every corner of the
town being represented. Upon calling
the meeting to order [ stated as clearly
as possible the purpose of the caucus
and that the delegates would represent
the town at both conventions. No OBJ
lection was raised and, after selecting
a chairman and secretary an informal
ballot was taken for delegates. Forty
six votes we're cast for ten different per-
sons, each receiving number varying
from l to Is. Forty nine we're cast on
the formal ballot. FL. G.. Darby re-
ceived %, S. Gull received 10, and Il.
Lubeno 2. On the next informal ballot
IL votes were given seven different
persons, giving each from l to 10 votes;
Mr.. Lubeno receiving the highest num-
Der, and on the formal Mr.. Lubeno re-
ceived majority of the 40 votes cast.
On the next informal ballot Mr. Turn
ock, our present assessor, received a
majority, and by viva voce vote the
ballot was declared formal.
The delegates were not instructed
and | am not informed whether they
are all favorable to Mr.. Bloss or not,
out it need be no cause for surprise or
envy if they should see fit to show their
fellow toWnsman this courtesy; and
whatever their personal preference may
be, I have no doubt and I believe the
voters of the town of Salem have suf-
ficient confidence in their delegates to
believe that they twill do the plain
duty of the moment, *** whatever it
may be-" Respectfully yours,
J. F. THOMPSON.
