BY SHOT GUN ROUTE.
4 Young Clarence Township Farmer
Shoots Himself.

Between 10 and IL o'clock last
Thursday forenoon John .McCaffery.
aged about Is years, son of James
McCaffery, killed himself in his bed
room at his fathers house, near Paw.

Death may have been suicidal, OF it
may have been accidental-no one

beyond the dark waters. While quite
a charge to the ia anily, he was still be-
loved by them, and his terrible taking
off is soHrce of grief to his relatives
and friends.
Funeral services were conducted at
'Pawnee Rock at p. NJ, Friday the
9th inst. and the remains inferred in
the Pawnee Rock cemetery.

Starts Out Right.


The new editor of the Ellinwood
advocate, Mr.. M. M. Osborn, starts
out right on the great and vital
issues Of the day. In his saIutatory of
last week he states bis position as
follows:
AN object to be greatly desired is
that the masses think more for them
selves, to the end that they may not
accept the declarations and conclusions
of leading men and journals without
analyzing and understanding them.
There is no question of public policy
too complicated for the average mind
if properly presented and examined
according TO the plain rules of COM
mon sense.
"We respect the restIve captive
bound in chains, but the supine slave,
sEho is happy in the conquerer's hand
and willingly plays to amuse his
master, the worst calamity that can
hefall an individual OF a people to DE
contented with the partialism of the
present. 1t is not because a person
is ignorant that we sorrow, but that
he is satisfied with ignorance and
thinks he is wise. Those who con-
conserve the good of the past, and
seek to enfold themselves in the
grander possibilities of the future, are
the vital roots of social, moral and
political progress. All such will find
that the pulse Of the ASs7ocate beats
in unison with their own
While the Advocate will be an
organ of the democratic party, its OBJ,
ject will be to advance principles to a
point of preferment with its readers
rather than individuals. We shall
ever aim 20 appeal to the reason of our
friends and supporters. ever. ready
and willing to listen to advice and
consul.
1--WE desire to state that whatever
appears in the editorial columns will
be our sentiments alone, pure and
simple. The paper is not controlled
by anyone outside of this office.
"As a party organ, we shall en-
deavor to nominate principals and let
the party nominate men. The deyo-
tees of bimetallism viii find the Ad-
vocate their Trustworthy friend, ever
cutting to pieces the objections to that
doctrine, with the falcion of reason
and irrefutable facts"
