EDITOR RECoRD:-I noticed in
an issue of the Hustler Herald,
about a month ago the notice of
John A. Wilson commonly
called Pole Cat Wilson, stating
that he had withdrawn from, and
severed his connection with the
Democratic party. Of course we
expected some mention in your
paper of this important matter
but seeing, none, and fearing
that you have overlooked it,
or did not consider it of suffi-
cient Importance to make men,
ton of, we now wish to call at
tention to this matter in few
words. First, hoping that the
grand old party may be able to
survive this heavy blow in the
great loss of one of it's "loudest
mouthed," ever ready to go
through "cold or hot thick and
thin for the good of the party"
members.
Having met with "Pole Cat"
on more than one occasion, and
having known of him for several
years, we are seriously inclined
to believe there is something
more of a personal matter than
principle that has caused him to
leave US at this critical time. 1t
may be, because he is an appli-
cant for U. S. pension, that he
has thought best to denounce as
false his former earnest and per-
sistant work and advocacy of
Democracy, and heartily join the
ranks of the Republican hoodlum,
and beg for the crumbs that fall
from the table of their party
patronage, and swell the ranks
of this army of "swear anything
for a pension" that leeches on
the honest toiling taxpayers of
onr country. Or it may be be-
cause the jury commissioners
have not selected him on either
the grand or petit jury for 10
these many years an honor that
he has earnestly, and in more
than one way sought all this time.
If this last oversight or neglect
is one of the causes of his sore-
ness toward the parth we believe
that it might have been healed
ere this, had he not been so
hasty in sending his notice to the
press, which was just few days
before he was summoned as a
petit juror for the next term of
our circuit court, which was so
pleasant surprise to him, but,
behold it was too late, the PUB
lication was made, and he was
gone, over the beard.
Now we join with many SYM
pathetic friends and say "good
bye Jonn don't stay long,"
and should you fail to G. the
pension applied for, las you will
get to be on the jury) come back
and help the party of the people
by the people and for the people,
as in time past,

st. Louis, Jan. 1.-The inquest on the
body Of J. b. McCullagh, late editor Of
the Globe-Democrat whose remains were
found under his bedroom window yester-
day began to-day.
1t developed the startling fact, through
the testimony of DR.. @. II. Huges, Mr..
McCulla CHS physician, that the deceased
made what was at the time believed to
he an attempt ait suicide on December
23th last. On that day DR.. Huges testi-
fed he called on Mr.. McCullagh and left
with him q four ounce bottle containing
two ounces Of digitaEs, a powerful
heart tonic, an overdose of which would
have the effect OF paralyzing the action
of the heart. The same night Mr.. Nc
CTIllagh took one ounce Of the medicine,
enough to have caused DEATH but which,
owing to the weak condition of his stom-
ach, was Immediately rejected. When
DIR. Huges called the next morning he
was greatly alarmed and asked Mr.. Nc
Cullagh if he had taken that amount,
AN evasive answer being given. DIR.
Huges testified that he was satisfied Mr..
NlcCullagh had not taken the medicine
by mistake The physician ait once con-
nected the startling circumstance with
a conversation he had with Mr.. McCul-
lagh shortly before, in which the latter
spoke of the Death OF Abraham Lincoln,
saying that he died at good time, and
THAT when any man outhyed his useful
ness it was time for him to go. DR..
Huges then testified as to Mr.. McCul-
laghs strange and evasive action on the
day preceding his death and concluded
his testimony with the positive statement
THAT his impression was THAT the case
was one OF suicide.
Livery man Louis G. Bonle, he closest
personal friend of the deceased was also
to have testified, but as he failed to ap-
pear the examination was continued un-
til tomorrow morning.

COLOMBIA CHECKED.
The South American Republic Refused
Possession of Corn Island.

Managua, Nicaragua, Jan. With
little beating Of drums or blowing of
trumpets, a war-like move upon the part
of the Republic Of Colombia is now be-
lieved to have been checkmated by the
Republic OF Nicaragua although further
news from the objective point, Corn
island, is anxiously expected here.
About a month ago thegovernment Of
Nicaragua was informed unofficialy that
Colombia had planned to make a landing
ON Corn island, a valuable stategic spot,
situated about thirty-six miles off Mos
quito coast belonging to Nicaragua,
whose flag is to be hauled down and the
ensign OF Colombia substituted for it. 1t
was alleged that Nicaragua was over
taxing Corn island and that the inhabi-
tants, numbering a few hundred had
appealed to Colombia for redress, on the
ground THAT the territory, some FIVE miles
long, which formerly belonged to COlom-
bia, was unlawfully held by Nicaragua.
1t was further stated that the prefect
Of San Andrea, Colombia, had assembled
q military force and was only waiting
for the arrival of a Colombian gunbOat
In order to embark the troops, proceed
to Corn island, seize it and fortify it
against the possibility of recapture. That
such a plan was discussed, there is no
reason to doubt, but President Zelaya,
Of Nicaragua, took prompt steps to meet
this move upon the part Of the neigh
boring Republic. Very quietly detach-
ments Of NicaTaguan troops were assem-
bled here and at Granda and when all
was ready, they were sent in small par
ties across Lake Nicaragua and down
the San Juan river to Greytown and
Bluefelds BY this time the soldiers of
Nicaragua are believed to be i'm possess
sion Of Big and Little Corn island, for
there are two of them, and the work
OF erecting a strong fort should be pro-
crossing. The troops took all the best
guns available and supply of ammuni-
tion and other supplies. Store houses
are also to be constructed at Corn island.
OF course, if the Colombian expedition
started earlier than expected and reached
Corn island before the Nicaraguan troops,
fighting may have occurred before This,
and If so, the matter may lead to a gen.
eral upheaval in Central America, for
Colombia has learned automatically and
through the press early last month, that
her seizure of Corn island might lead
to a war-like combination of the Republics
of Salvador and Honduras, in support
of Nicaragua, against her. Colombia
was also advised, if she still maintained
she had rights over Corn island, to sub
NIT them to the arbitration of disin-
terested Republic To these threats and
suggestions, apparently no attention was
paid, for it was announced that the Colon
bian gunboat was being fitted up for the
transportation Of Colombian troops to
Corn island. 1t is hoped here that the
Nieaaguan force reached there in adj
vance Of the Colombian detachment.
