A lively little runaway was INDUCED
in this morning by a horse belonging
to the United States Express company,
and driven by c. j. Jackson. The horse
began to run just west of Court street
on Second and could not be stopped by
the driver, who held to the lines until
they reached Patrick's barber shop,
when he tried to jump out, but fell
under the wagon. The horse ran
along the sidewalk from Court nearly
to Market, where it turned into the
street and ran up as far as Ransier's
livery stable, where it was stopped.
On the way it ran into and broke
Claude Myers peanut rooster, knocked
a number of oranges all over the side
walk, and broke the window out of the
store next to Myers. The driver was
only bruised a little and is around all
right this afternoon.

DIR. G. G, POWELL.
The Republican Candidate for Election
to the ONCE of Coroner.

. * 81
DR.. G. C. Powell, of South Ottumwa,
the republican nominee for coroner, is
a man so eminently deserving of the
vote of the people, and this fact is so
generally recognized, that it leaves lit
tie for the newspaper to say in his be-
half. DIR. Powell has been resident
OF Ottumwa for seventeen years, dur
ing all of which time he has been in
active practice. His home is in South
Ottumwa, and it can be truthfully said
that there has never been a worthy
public enterprise undertaken for the
good of the people on the South Side in
particular, and of the city of Ottumwa
in general, that has not had the active
support and cooperation, and in almost
every instance, the earnest, hard and
effective work of DR.. C. C. Powell.
DR.. Powell is an honored veteran of
the Civil war. He enlisted as a private
in 1868, in the Seventh Delaware regi-
ment, and served until the close of the
war. He is at present one of the board
of United States examining surgeons
for Wapello county, but he has not
been an office seeker and has never
held county Office. Ottumwa has no
better citizen than DR.. Powell. His cleo
ton to the office of coroner viii give
dignity to that position, and he will,
in the future, as in the past, serve the
best interests of all the people in every
proper manner.
DR.. Powell graduated from the Az
bany Medical college and has been in
practice for thirty-fve years.

TWO APPOINTMENTS.

Governor Murphy yesterday sent the name of R. L. Long to the council as territorial superintendent of public instruction, and that of Dr. E. N. Mol Ter of Yuma as territorial prison phy. sician. The latter nomination was made on the recommendation of Coup- cilman Carpenter and Assemblyman Doan of Yuma county.
 The nomination of Mir. Long was made on account of his extended ac- quaintance with the educational affairs of the territory. It is not generally known, but it is fact, that Mr. Long Is the outhor of the present school law Of the territory. He drafted bill which was passed by the Thirteenth legislature. Though it has since been slightly amended it has never been es- sentially changed.
 MT. Long held the office of superin- tendent of public instruction in 1884 and 1885. At that time the office was elective or was construed to be. though 1t was afterward admitted that the ap- pointment of the superintendent was one of the prerogatives of the gover- nor. In 1888 and lSS9-9O he was princi- pal of the territorial Normal school, which position he resigned in the last named year to accept the prinipalship of the Phoenix schools.
 His connection with the educational affairs of the territory covered a peri cd fifteen years. Since 1891 he has been engaged in the abstract business in Phoenix and had held the office of clerk for Arizona of the court of pri- vate land claims since the organization of that court.
