One Republican, One Democrat. Kausas City Times Baldwin, Kan., June 22.—We have read and here make public our em- phatic endorsement of Comrade Whitehead’s letter to Tuttle in the Times of the roth. Weare sick and tired of this abom- inable attempt to make the G. A. R. do such degraded service. It has been done too often in the past by partisan cranks who sit on the G. A. R. like big fat flies on the head of an empty sugar cask, feeding on what sugar is left—sinee the war.” Our hope now is that this last exhibition of folly unutterable, will end all this forever in the United States. The puerile anathemas of “Grand Commanders” Fairchild, Tuttle, et al., calling upon God to pulverize. paralyze and jam somebody up gen erally, awakens a disgust inexpressi- ble throughout the country. All who are not laughing are holding their noses. These “grand commanders” seem io further than sent in a go dangerous direction. even proud of the odious distinction of being ac- cessary to assassination before the fact. The unpatriotic, di reputable utterances of these men against the brave. true man who is president marks them as unworthy of their time and country. Under ‘the blessed ministry of peace. harmony and democracy, the people of this great republic are coming together daily into “a more perfect union.” In this good hour so full of ie and promise it is sad to see Fount Sherman bidding for the nomination for the presidency of this great | publie in cites | erar at Springfield to this ¢ the world that “th aceful, dis languaye whi of this nation is in 1 through to the onset - to the onset 1 with big | T.

Chicago, Ill., June 26.—Early this | morning one of the employes of the | Chicago packing and provision com- pany at the Union stock-yards, dis- covered fire in the tank room, and in a few moments one of the tanks ex ploded, scattering burning lard over the adjacent buildings, and a dozen | seperate fires were soon competing | with each other in the destruction of | the immense establishment. Though | the fire was struck out this evening— |! fourteen and one quarter hours after | it started—the smoldering embers | continued to laden the air with the} fumes of roast pork, and a five-acre | oven will remain on the premises | red-hot for at least a couple of days. | The Chicago packing and pro- i Vision company’s works occupy six acres of ground, but the fire was kept within the district bounded by Fortieth street, Central avenue, Forty-second street and the railroad tracks, a block west of Central Ave. This territory contains four large buildings. The main building was 300x475 | feet. Init a portion of the killing was done and the hanging, cutting, curing and other work incidental to | a slaughtering establishment, except a room in which curing, in were about 19,000,000 pounds of short | ribs. The main building and its | contents are a total loss. The curing reom, 100x150 feet, and four stories high. lost its roof, but stone fire walls saved its con tents, a portion of them in a roasted | condition. On the cast side of the main build 120x4oo feet, The | two upper floors at the south end were used for killing purposes. In ing was a warehouse. four stories and a basement. | the warehouse were 17,000 barrels | of mess pork belonging to Armour & Co. The building and much of the pork was wholly destroyed. About 3,000 live hogs were in the building when the fire started but the company’s employes succeeded in getting most of them out. Be tween 600 and 7oo hogs were burn- ed alive in the building. Back of the main buiding was a fertilizing factory 100 feet square and the engine house 50 by 65 feet. Both structures were burned com pletely. The fact that no wind was blow- ing when the fire started was prob- ably the only circumstance that sav- ed the entire stock yards from de- struction. Jeff Davis Heard From. Danville, Il. June 23.—The follow- ing was received to-day: Colonel! Phocion Howard, Danville, Ill.

You will findin my his- tory of the late wargthat there were but twenty-six regiments of regular troops in the army of the north and of the total of 560 confederate flags captured it is questionable if those | twenty-six regiments captured fifty. The flags were captured by the vol- unteer army of the several states and have no right in the national capital. Respectfully yours, JEFFERSON DAVIS. Escape of a Murderer. Nebraska City, Neb.. June 24.— | The notorious murderer Quinn Bon- hannon who has been under sentence of death but awaiting the decision of the United States supreme court, escaped from the county jail some- time last night and has not been captured yet. He was put into his cell last night and the doors were all securely fastened, and everything was in the same condition this morn- ing, but the prisoner was gone. Severrl years ago Bohannon tried to bribe a former jailor but was un- successful. He is one of the most accomplished criminals in the west. He was formely a member of the noted M. C. Waters gang of noted outlaws which terrorized Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri and was leader of the gang during the celebrated penitentary revolt a number of years ago at which time M. C. Walters lost his life. Bohannon is with the of nearly every crime He has§k of men—the last one for death sentence, victim differed word “peddler.” 500 has been offered credited illed a number he be which with him A reward of | for the fugitive’s capture. but it is doubtful if he will be taken alive. Dick Gloche, guard at the jail, was arrested to night for assisting Boh- annon to escape, all the other pris- oners asserting that Gloche opened the door and they saw Bohannon walk out about 9 o'clock last night All for Cleveland: New York, June 24 —Gen. A. B. Upshaw, assistant commissioner of Indian Affairs, is at the Fifth avenue hotel. “I have been through the northern part of New York State,” said the General, “and I am convine- ed that Cleveland will not only be re-nominated, but will be re-elected. I found a number of Republicans who declared their intention of voting for the present incumbent if they are given an opportunity.” The General astonished a group of his friends by giving the names of some well known Republicans who were ready to go over to Cleveland. “Oh, there is no other man to nominate,” said the General, “and the second place is of no consequence. Carlisle would not accept the vice-presidential nomina- tion, and it look now as though As- sistant Postmaster General Steven son would get the second place, al- though Gen. Black would make a strong run. Out through Kansas, where I have been recently, there is a wonderfully growing sentiment in favor of a second term for the pres- ent well-equipped occupant of the presidential chair.” { ' t The importance of purifying the blood ean- not be overestimated, for without pure blood you cannot enjoy good health.
