Double Alarm.

Two alarms of fire were given ut
noon on Friday of last week on Wal
nut street. The fire company
promptly responded. and on reach-
ing the hopie of Supt. Boyer, finding
the fire in his residence under con-
troll, passed on to the burning barn Of
George Lehman on North Walnut.
The barn was mass of flames before

other barn and buildings standing
near. This fire was started from
smoking meat in one portion Of the
barn. The damage Is fixed at 5000.

neighborhood prevented the con-

The Board OF Elections Expectorate
Upon the Countenances Of the
Republican Executive
Committee.


1t is an old story that the created
often tramps the head of the source
OF its creation. Sdch Is the exam
pie of the action of the Board Of
Election on Saturday last. The
Republican executive committee
appointed the Republican members
OF the election board, but these
members now spurn the dictations
of their makers.
AS was announced in our last is
sue there has been n lively contest
between Messrs A. E. Huls and G.
w. James for the position of clerk
of the board of election in this
county. Huls he'd secured the en-
dorsement on paper of Ave out of
nine of the executive committee,
and then the committee was called
together by Chairman ]. r. Smith
and majority being present they
unanimously chose g. w. James as
their nominee for election board
clerk, and so certified the fact in to
the board. At the board meeting
on the 18th the two Republican
m embers ignored the official rec
Onmendation of the executive COM
mittee and voted for Huls on the
strength of his petition, The Dem
ocratic members felt constrained to
take cognizance of the official rec
ommendation of the Republican
committee and voted for James.
Thus they locked and could not
choose a secretary at that session.
The board met again on Saturday
of last week and the Republican
members voted as usual for Huls,
and as the Democratic members
had always exchanged courtesies
with them in party choices, and
learning Of their determination to
stick to Huls, there was nothing
left to do but vote for their man,
thus confirming him. and Mr.. Huls
has assumed his duties.
But now, where is the Republi.
can executive committee, and J.R.
the boss? They have been ruth.
lessly and unceremoniously turned
down and sat upon by crea tion ol
their own begetting. 1t is the hand
writing on the wall that the admin.
istration gang in this county mus,
go. They are doomed; they have
run their course, their fate is sealed
They have enjoyed their Belshaz'
zer banquets all these years, bul
the mighty hosts without theil
walled city, are drawing the Eu
pirates and will soon come march
ing through the rocky bed of the
river, beneath the walls, and the
heads of the bosses will roll in the
basket, and the streets of their po
litical walled city will flow in filth
and carnage. There will be gen
eral cleaning up of the Republican
party in this county, and the rank
and file will sit upon the throne
Of its organization. The bosses will
be sepultured forever, and ever
blotted from the memories Of tn,
past, as the gauzy steam far rise
from its once potent strength
fades away in the breeze and is d,
more.

CONVENTION RESUL7S.

The most important result of the W estern Waterways convention is to be found in the interchange of ideas between representative men from all parts of the West and Southwest. The resolutions adopt ed give some understanding of the consensus of opinion, but they can not reveal all the good effects of the conference. In their off hand talks the delegates got closer to each oth- CT than appears in the formal action taken. They compared notes and found out that there are many diff ferent ways of looking at the ques- tion in which all are interested in a general sense. and they came to realize that these various points of view must be considered when it comes to Congressional action. One story is good until another is told, an6 in such case as this it is nec- essary to modify local claims to se- cure united support for the gener- al plan.
 The convention approved the proposition to turn over the work of leyee construction and mainte- nance to the general government, and urged a liberal policy of river improvement, according to the plans and under the direction of the Mississippi River Commission. It also approved tue demand for deep. ening the channel at the passes, commended the proposed deep wa terway connecting the Mississippi river and the great lakes at Chiea- go, and declared in favor of an in- teroceanic canal.
 All this was well done, but, as we hare sand, the chief benefit of the convention will result from the personal intercourse of the dele gates and the better understanding resulting from it.
 The convention was a success, and Memphis will long remember the pleasure she derived from en- tertaining the visiting delegates. - Memphis Seimitar.

The fellow who is forever frding fault with his neighbor is generally a "ne'er do well. The iconoclast is rarely happy aud prosperous. The man who abuses all who are better situated than himself has eontin- uos employment. It is generally true that he who praYs his neigh Dor harm brings curse upon him. self. We have observed this rule in many avocations. It applies Tn the newspaper business. The journ- alist who is forever cutting and slashing and sIashing and who gets the name Of being a great "roaster" is hardly ever happy and is seldom regarded as business success Exchange.

 Mr. Colhoeur had been i'll for some time, lingering between life and death. It was thought some time ago that he would recover but the inevitable messenger of death could not be stayed.
 He is one of our oldest citizens. having lived here since the close of the civil war. He was one of the heroes of the lost cause aud during his life time was a member Of the United Confederate Veterans of the Confederacy. He also belonged to the Benevolent Association. His remains will De accompanied by the United Confederate Veterans, this afternoon, to the cemetery.
 He leaves, to mourn his loss, a loving family of childen and a de- voted wife.
 In their hour of bereavement we wish them the solace that an hon. orad life and name which Mr. Col, hoeur has deserved during his life time, as a memento of his worth to Lis family, can give.
 We should remem Der in our hour of sorrow that: "Where blooming Eden witters in our sight, death gives US more than was in Eden lost, for though it be the king of terrors it is the prince of peace. ,

This brings the total laid tLis year up to 3, 200 miles, and every day many miles are being added to these figures.

1874 and 1877 the Indian Government
bought and distributed large quantities OF
grain, but relief came too late to avert
appalling loss OF life. Since then govern

application OF speedy relief, and though it
seems impossible to prevent an enormous
death rate where the lives Of 30 many mil
