Commissions Revoked

Governor Davis has revoked the commissions of Sam Bowen as sheriff and c. $. Driver as clerk of Mississippi county and has com missioned John A. Lowell sheriff and J. W. Rhodes clerk. At the election last September in Mississippi county Rhodes ran for clerk and Lowell for sheriff on what was called the Inde- pendent ticket. Driver ran for clerk and Bowen for sheriff on the demo- cratic ticket. The returns showed Driver and Bowen elected. The election was contested and the county court declared Lowell and Rhodes elected. The circuit court reversed that finding and in turn the supreme court reversed the finding of the cir cult court, thus leaving the case where 1t stood as the county cour. decided it.

P"LEASURABLE OUTING,
Court officials Enjoyed a Fishing
Trip on the Illinois River.

Judge Gill returned home yes,
terday having been compelled to
forego the pleasures and discom-
forts Of a fishing trip and outing on
the Illinois river.

lay, of Kansas, arranged for a
season of recreation.
The gentlemen embarked in
boats and hoated down the river
l~eisurely, going into camp early
each evening and fishing while
the attendants pitched the tents
and cooked meals.
In several places the river bends
abruptly and the current runs
swiftly. In running such rapids
the party encountered several mis-
haps which compelled them to get
out and wade. The boats were
frequently lodged on sand bars
when it was a case of "all parties
get out and shove"
AT one place where the current
was unusually swift an old log
stuck out over the water nearly
across the stream, as if to impose
an injunction against further pro-
gress. Jim Huckleberry was pill
citing the provision boat and he
decided that there was no ground
for the INDUCTION and proceeded to
turn the boat to escape service.
He soon found that there was
plenty of water, however, and as
the craft was whirled against the
log and capsized, the captain was
soon sputtering neck deep in the
midst of boxes and sacks, while
the cooking tools sank to the bot
tom. Most of the GRUB" was
rescued and a new supply of pots
and pans were procured at a farm
house.
The party, other than Judge
Gill, will proceed down the river
till Sunday. The only discomfort
of the trip, readily forgotten in the
pleasurable memories of the out.

Some government officials effect
to be surprised at the defeat of the
Cherokee treaty. They were told
fatty before the treaty passed con-
gress, and after it passed that il
would be defeated unless the min
eral lease section was stricken out.
There are no grounds for surprise.
The conference committee sur
rendered to the Standard Oil Com
pany at the last moment, and there
lies the blame for the defeat Of the
treaty. 1t will be defeated again
and again, until that iniquitous
section is left out finally. The
Cherokees may be plundered and

Intoxication from the nectar and po!

vestisation by DR.. J. N. Weir, Jr. This
affects insects, and it appears that the
cosmos flower is specially potent as a
source Of Drunkenness in bees and 9th

drunk that it could scarcely get upon
its lees was taken to the laboratory
and placed about two inches from a
cosmos blossom. It Immediately stag
gered to the flower and began to suck
the nectar and IN q few moments tum-
bled over, a senseless and almost inert
victim of appetite. Dranken beetles
found under the blossoms prove that
the pollen must have the same effect
as tie hectares.
The experimenter swallowed bali
4easpoonful of the pollen and in about
Is minutes experienced a feeling OF eH
b::aration. with acceleration of thf

quence. racy of the soil, but unfortu-

line of argument and would always
fall back on the word therefore, .
which generally led his mind back to
what he had intended saying. Some
times. however, the effort was almost
disastrous.
One time he had been complinaenting
the jury, assuring them that they were
men Of extraordinary intelligence and
then branched off into a statement OF
his case. With wave Of his hand and
a smile on his face he proceeded:

CHAPTER IN.

Self-revealed by the family likeness as
Herberts brother, Randall Linley was
nevertheless greatly Herbert's inferior in
personal appearance. His features we're
in no way remarkable for manly beauty.
In stature. he hardly reached the middle
height; and. young as he was, either bad
habit or physical weakness had so affect
ed the upper part of his figure that he
stopped.
Have you seen a new face among US
since YOU returned?' were his sister-in-
laws first words. Randall answered that
he had seen Miss Westerheld. The in
evitable question followed. What did he
think OF herr

cant and ugly. Let us see what our fine
air and our easy life viii do for her.

The Hsrp of Brian Boru.

What processes TO be the original
harp of Brian BOru is preserved in the
library of Trinity College. Dublin; but
it's history. which is now more clearly
traced does not bear cut the popular
tradition as to its origin. 1t belonged,
probably, to the illustrious sept OF
O'Neill, and was. in all likelihood, made
for one of the two noted prelates Of
that name. 1t is a curious fact that it
was last played on by one Of that fam
lily, though at that time its real origin
was not suspected; for the eminent
Arthur O'Nein woke its slumbering
music at Limerick in 1760, and it has
ever since remained silent.
