WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1587 Sal Governor Manuaduke has for Europe. —_———_—____— The Ohio republicans renominated Governor Foraker by acclamation pltcaliwndeccaeeuiien.

The Ohio st BY epublican is re Aly markable for great length. If there Ny wus anything in American politics, tH ancient or modern, which it let get i away without being touched upon, the omission must have been an ov- ersight and not intentional. It evi- dently meant to cover allthe ground. eel &. P. Clements, president of the Citizens Savings Bank at Leaven- worth, Kas., and the cashier have both gone to Canada, leaving the benk a total wreck. Clements took with him or squandered in wild spec- ulation, fifty-one thousand dollars of the bank’s money, which was the emise of the failure. The institution was patronized by the poorer class of the community. Ohio will take a solid Sherman Gelegation to the next republican mational convention. John C. New has promised that Indiana would go there with a united delegation for Senator Harrison, and Mlinois will probably have a united delegation there for Lincoln. So it is plain that Mr. Blaine is not going to receive the nomination by acclamation, if wominated at all. Whether inside or ontside of his party, the “man from Ulaine” always finds opposition. He desires to be entirely adjustable, but the animosities of his disposition sever permit him to be “the alto- gether unanimous.” pipette miere Dr. King and wife, of Sedalia, sppeared in Jefferson City last week end made another appeal for the re- Tease of their son Emmett, who is confined in the penitentiary on a six years’ sentence for robbing the Se- dalia savings bank. Young King was fully acquainted with the nature of the crime he was committing when he stole the bank's money, and be- cause he is a smart thief and the son of an eminent physician should not influence the governor one jot more han if he was the humblest convict in the prison.

The indiscriminate condemnation of the officers of the law in the line of their duty, first the sheriff and his deputies, the grand jury, now the prosecuting attorney, savors of some thing more than appears on the surface—a determination to override the law and evidence and force a verdict according to their own ideas. 4th. The insinuation cast upon the young lady’s character is, as far as we can learn, without a scintilla of evidence, ungenerous and unworthy, and doing the lady an irreparable wrong. We believe that every officer, in any way connected with this un- fortunate affair, did their whole duty as they understood it, from the justice of the peace who tried the case to the grand jury that found the verdict against Lint Anderson. We do uot know what evidence was produced before the g that the juror intelligent gentlemen, men who read and think 1 the evidence before the coroner's jury was published in full with the jury’: verdict, then how could Mr. Jac squelch this evidence, even were We know Mr. Jz honorable, gentleman, who would not swerve a hair's breadth from duty’s path, as he understood it, by threat or prom ise.

He brought himself into public notice by a direct and wanton attack upon the president, thereby becoming a subject of criticism. His Successor in the post of com- mander of the department of Natchez, a distinguished ex-officer and a mem- ber of the Grand Army of the Re- public, makes public charges seriously affecting Gen. Tuttle's integrity. He accuses him of the theft of a landau, and intimated that he was also guilty of an immoral partnership with a corrupt treasury agent for the pur- pose of unlawful speculation in cotton. Now Tuttle will have to disprove these serious charges or the G. A. B.'s of Iowa will have to ask for his resignation as department commander. The Grand Army can order an investigation, and this they will be compelled to do. What will become of Tuttle, poor thing, for he cannot deny the charge; and if he should, official documents on file at Washington would give him the lie direct. Verily, Tuttle stirred up a greater tempest than he thought for. —_—_—a———— Correct Estimate. Marshall L.

We had never before had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Wolfe, and found him a modest, quiet, unassuming man and possessed of every necessary qualification for the position to which he has lately been appointed. He has been a coal digger himself and filled every po- sition from the bottom round up and is thoroughly posted. He is very conscientious in the discharge of his duties, and being called to visit dangerous loca‘ities in mines, he has twice barely escaped with his life.

The daughter of Captain of Police W. R. Thompson. of Okland, Cal., presents a peculiarly interesting case to medical men. She is given to cataleptic trances in which she re- mains for weeks without regaining consciousness. At one time she slept five weeks and at another six.” She is now suffering from one of the at- tacks. Her body is rigid and all appearances of life have departed. It is over five weeks since she went into the trance and at no time since has she recovered consciousness for more than an hour. For more than four weeks she slept without awaken- ing, but now she wakens once every twenty hours, and remains awake for a few minutes. She takes no nourish- ment all the time, but does not lose flesh or strength; in fact, during a six weeks’ spell, though taking no food, she gained six pounds in weight. At times she is conscious of what is going on around her, but she is incapable of indicating the fact. Medical skill has exhausted itself in the effort to effect a cure, but the trances seem to be beyond them.—Ex. Louisiana, Mo., has contracted with the American Water Company of Pennsylvania, to put a system of water works in that city. The res- ervoir system will be adopted; the works are to cost $60,000 and be completed by December 30. Water will be taken from the Mississippi river above Washington street, and the reservoir will hold 1,000,000 gallons. Four miles of pipe will be laid, and 55 hydrants put in for the use of thé city at a cost of $50 each. The water comyany agrees to furnish water free to the city offices, fire department, public schools, churches and for one fountain in each ward of the city. { Some newspapers continue to ‘boom” Bob Lincoln for the Presi- dency.

It is the general feeling that as soon as the patrol is removed the Tolliverites will sweep down upon the town and avenge the death of their cheif. It is believed that the only true solution of the feud is to let the citizens of Rowan county is | as the the town | settle it among themselves. BUTLER NOT TO BE LEFT. “There is a report that Maj. G. B. Phinney. t the St. L., K. C. & Col. road, has received orders from head- quarters to push on the survey to Ft. Scott as expeditiously as possible and then, returning to Butler, their former survey from that pla to Clinton as astarting point and run aline to Emporia. This will give the Santa Fe (which is only another name for the above mentioned road) an almost air line to St. Louis and would be their main trunk line. This arrangement would give Clinton the end of adivision, and our proximity to the coal fields and abundant supply of water will no doubt give usmachine shops.” —Clin- ton Rep. If true, this certainly is a brilliant prospect for rou sister city and Butler can derive a few grains of comfort therefrom. At least one thing is certain, and that is that the Opera House Furniture Store will continue to make the same ridiculously low prices on everything they have to sell. Now don’t club yourself for having read this, for you know we must advertise. Found Killed. Clay Center, Kan., July 26.—Wil- liam Terbush, 20 years old, son of Dr. Charles Terbush of this city, was murdered last night at the fair grounds at Concordia by being shot through the head. His body was found lying on the ground at 7 o'clock this morning with two bul- let holes in it, both ranging down- ward. The young man was a horse train- er, and had several head of horses which he was running at the races at Concordia. There is no clue yet as to who did the deed. Terbush was a young man of good habits, and had hosts of friends. His father will spare no pains ferret- ing out the murderer of his son. The young man was found with an open knife in his clinched fist, and it is thought that he was at- tacked by some one on horseback, and drew the knife to defend him- self, when he was shot from above. There is no clue to the assassin. The Ohio Republican Ticket. Toledo, July 29.—The ticket as completed by the republican con- vention yesterday is asfollows: Gov- ernor, J. B. Foraker; lieutenant gov- ernor, Captain W. C. Lyon; supreme judge (long term), W. T. Speer; su- preme judge (short term), F. J. Dick- man; state auditor, E. W. Poe; state treasurer, E. C. Brown; attorney general, D. C. Watson; member board of public works, C. N. Flickinger. The Toledo convention has been bulldozed into endorsing Sherman for the presidency. But what does it amount to after all. everybody ex- pected that the convention would pass such a resolutionif forced upon it by Sherman's friends.
