the State of Mississippi. Mr.. Lin
coin is displaying good sense in hav
ing the press present bis claims, and
does not hest tate to pay the freight
on his letter through the press to
the people of our grand old state
We are not personally acquainted
with Mr.. Lincoln and don't know
who will be his opponents in that
race, as they are singularly silent,
but we DO know good political Judge
ment when we see it and that is the
object Of this editorial, Ito commend
it in Mr.. Lincoln. and we desire to
state further that he seems to be
well recommended by the people oil
his home county, which also speaks
well for him. His long service in
positions of clerical trust for them
stamps their commentator upon
his abilities in that line deeper than

The first witness examined was
Albert ]. Dory of Warsaw, Ill. He
said he had been employed on the
farm of Mr.. Quick since the univer.
sity closed in June. He had also
worked for Mr.. Quick last year in
Warsaw. He knew Miss Fleta Quick
and could identify the body as that
of Miss Quick. He said she was of
a merry, happy disposition always,
until this nervous breakdown. Some
times, since then, she would show
irritibility which came from her
nervous condition and when better
would express regret for something
unkind said or done. She left home
about $50 Monday evening, August
IL, to go to Keokuk to purchase
cakes for threshers they were to
have the next day; arse to get a
hamper of Cream clothes from Mrs.
Kebo who did the family washing in
Keokuk There had been some dis
cussion as to the advisability Of al.
lowing her to go alone. She had not
been allowed to drive alone for about
month on account Of nervous con.
diion, but for week had been very
much better and the attending physi-
clan had said with couple more
treatments she would be well. The
witness said he left for Hamilton at
$40 driving wagon and he did not
see Miss Quick again. In about two
hours the family began to grow
anxious because Fleta did not return
and called in a neighbor, Mr.. Wayne
