The Late Mrs. Kruger.

Unlike Countess (afterward Prinees9 Bismarck, Mrs. Kruger never interrupted on this or that pre- text her husbands s political confabs or interviews with strangers. Nor did she express her opinions, except on the most trivial matters, to her fa- mibars. Had she done so she would probably have echoed the opinion of the iron chancellor's wife, to the ef- feet that ija smallest turnip field was of really more personal importance to her husband than the most knotty problem of the worlds politics. Of course, Fraulein Johanna von Putt Hammer originally belonged to a sec tion of society very different from that from whence sprung Jufvrouw Duplessis; nevertheless, neither. of these two would have fretted much if her husband had altogether aban- doned public life even before the crit ical period of Germany's and the TranSraals existence

 THAT DELIBERATE FRAUD. :
 The face of the returns from Big Bottom township gave Arnold 3o1 votes and AIatheny % Ma theny was not satisfied with this and went before the canyassing board and asked that they recount the votes east in that township. This was done and the recount gave Matheny 45 and Arnold 262. Just how such m important differ ence occurred has not been ex- plamed in manner that We can place 1t properly before our read CTS, but We will spare no pains in getting at the facts and promise that the people of Independence county shall know them, regard less of whom this matter may in yolYe. There was q grave mis- take made or q deliberate wrong attempted, and 1t k due to honesty and the purity of the democratic party that the matter be exposed and If fraud has been attempted the perpetrator should be prose cuted to Che full extent of the law. Batesyille Guard.
 Now, wouldn't that jar you! The editor of the Guard, singing under the humiliating defeat of Senator Jones, at whose feet he bows down and worships, and green with chagrin at the trium- phant victory of Governor Davis. on whom the Guard has waged relentless, unjust and acrimonious warfare, must find something upon which to vent his spleen. and, like l q drowning man grasping at a straw, he falls broadsided on this attempted deliberate wrong" which exists only in the mind of the editor of the Guard and a few l friends of a defeated and diSgrun- tied candidate, and emits siekening gusts of hot air in a vain attempt to ease himself.
 To bring the matter down to a plain statement of facts and to get d clear insight into this de liberate fraud, which the Guard would have the people believe was committed in this township, just stack the editor of the Guard, the defeated candidate or any one who persists in circulating this cry of fraud, up alongside of Tom MagnesS.

March 25.-George McNeely
lbst his barn by FIRE last week,
including four head of horses,
two cows and calves. lot of pea
hay. q wagon. buggy and every
thing else about the barn but
some plows and binder.
Rev. w. r. Mccormack, pastor
al this place, left last Mon
day. to attend conference. We
very earnestly request his return.
Some OF the people of our
neighborhood have visited Neely's
Landing to see the work being
done on the railroad.
There are two hop tea stands
or blind tigers up there. The
railroad men did not bring
this stuff with them, but men
that have been raised in this
county are running them night
and day, Sunday included, so l
hear, and are selling something q
little stronger than hop tea that
seems to have the devil in it.
We hear they have fight or two
every day and especially on
Sunday. Each man at work has
a bottle in his pocket. One man
was seen the other day leaying
one of the stands going to work
with a bottle in each hand and
one in his pocket. If all of this
is SO Why don't the officers of our
ceunty>see about it and have this
gambling and Sabbath breaking
stopped? We hear that the saloon
keeper at Pocahontas is running
his saloon without a license and
says he can pay his fine cheaper
than he can get license. This
is nice for a nation that goes
abroad as a christian nation and a
Sabbath keeping people.
