WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER, 12, 1558 Sunday Gov. Morehouse ordered the state militia togo to Bevier to quell the riots among striking miners at that place. Secretary of state McGrath thinks that the race for the speakership of the house lays between Walter Young and Joseph Russell; the clerkship of the house between Yates, of Lewis, Vanee, of St. Clair, and McCord, of Osage. We think our neighbors of the Bates county press just a little pre- mature in urging a candidate for gubernatorial honors before our gov- ernor-elect has been inaugurated. When the time comes the Tiss will have something to say in this matter asit does onall public ques- tions,regardless of fear or favor. Citizens of Clinton, if you would have a substantial town, plenty of money and business whether full crops are made or not, you must encourage manufactovies. To do that in a way easy to everybody. a Manufacturers’ Building and Loan Association should be organized at once. It would keep the savings of our people where it would do them the most good. A tiling factory would probably be the best paying investment, and it could be increas- ed in capacity until it would give employment to a small army of workingmen, and then not keep up with the demands for Clinton Democrat. its wares.— John P. Willis, Deputy U. S. Marshal, will be a candidate for sergeant at arms of the next House of representatives. Mr. Willis has held his present position under Mar- shal Gates for three years and is hela in the very highest esteem by that gentleman for efficiency and gentlemanly conduct in office. In the labor troubles in 1886 he estab- lished a deserved reputation for | AW ARTIFICIAL LAKE. Pleasant Hill has a beautiful 2 | | within three quarters of a mile of | | the business portion of the town. | covering 30 acres, with a convenient | boat house, bath house, etc., an ex- | ‘cellent resort for the people to go | after business hours and have 4} delightful time. Clinton has a lake supplied fromthe artesian sulphur | well. Nevada is building one now. Butler has a well of water over 1,300 | feet deep within 30 feet of the top. | The parties who drilled the well, | with the machinery at hand,attempt ed to lower the water and found it impossible to do so. We already have between three and four thous- and dollars invested in the well, and with a very little more expense a small engine could be purchased to test the quantity of the water. If found sufficient it would be but very | little expense to make an artificial | lake here. The natural advantages would all be in our favor. It is lo- cated in a basin, surrounded by hills,the ravines alone would have to | be dammed when we could have thirty er forty acres in as beautiful a body of water as imagination could de- pict. Then would come the time for rustic bridges, boat houses, bath houses, boating on the moonlight waters, ad infinitum. The lake could be constantly replenished by fresh water from the well by a wind mill pump. The ravines running into this natural basin could | be utilized to advantage im filling the lake at the start. Then with such a body of water at our command | the water-works question for Butler | would no lo etc., i be problematical. We have he: un expression from some of our business men who would be perfectly willing to invest a little more money in the artesian well project from which we are sat- istied could be derived lar, returns. Will some of our enterprising cit- izens talk this matter up and teke steps in this direction. We would suggest as an excellent committee for this purpose the names of the following gentlemen: Win. E. Wal ton, Capt. F. J. Tygard, Jas. K. Brugler, P. C. Fulkerson, Judge Sam Levy, Rev. A. Walker and R. J. Hurley. We suggest these names as coming first to mind and know they would make an excellent com- mittee ifthey would but take hold of the matter. Let us get to work and have a lake completed by early courage by running an engine out | spring that will be a pride and joy of the yards at Nevada through an immense throng of strikers at the point ofa pistol. He has been a life long democrat and labored hard for his party before he was old enough to cast a vote. If long and active party service counts for any- thing then, Mr. Willis ought to be rewarded- He is competent to fill the duties of the office and the dem- ocratic representatives would make no mistake by making him their caucus nominee. legislature from Henry county, has the following to say in a card to the St. Louis Republic in reference to the race for secretary of the next state senate: Col Ladue is not only well quali- fied for the important position, but his claim is paramount to that of any man in the state, if ability and long continued effective and efficient ser- vice for the success of democratic principles is to be considered. It seems to me that on the incoming of anew administration, these posi- tions, or the aspirants for them, Ought not to be prejudiced by prom- ises made by holdoyer senators. The new body, as a whole, it would seem ought to be left free to choose its own officers. It does not look ex- actly right fora man to commence two years in advance, and take ad- vantage of his association and ac- quaintance with senators (who are almost always disposed to grant fa- vors to the officers of the senate) to fix things for two years ahead. It savors too much of “machine poli- tics.” It is not true, as stated in the Republic, that E. M. Vance, can- didate for chief clerk of the lower house, resides in, or hails from, this (Henry) county. He has notresided here for many years. and his father's family reside in St. Clair county. Let us have fair play. : to Butler and eclipse anything of the kind in the west. William Eckhart, living just this side of the cemetery, was arrested on charge of Geo. W. Weaver of be- ing violently insane, and a danger- ous character to be allowed to runat large, on Friday last, and taken be- fore the probate judge. Judge Francisco had a jury empannelled, and as a result of the trial had him locked up in jail for the time-being. Eckhart is a bachelor, 46 years of age and owned about five acres of ground near the cemetery, on which he lives alone. He was imbued with the strange idea that he was com missioned from Heaven to depopu- late the earth and said he was to begin my killing Athol Herrel. He recently traded his property near Butler for land in western Kansas whieh he had never seen and did not have an idea what a deed was for. His property will probably be suffi- cient to support him in the asylum. An Indiana Sheriff Fatally Shot. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 10.— Sheriff Robert Jones of Grantly county, visited the village of Je- rome, Howard county, yesterday, to recapture John Flemming, a con- victed horse-thief, who had escaped from the Grant county jail. He found Flemming at the residence of Mrs. Hopkins. When the thief caught sight of the sheriff he drew a pistol and fired two shots, the first passing through the officer's elbow and the second entering his abdo- men. The plucky officer, though mortally wounded, clubbed Flem- ming into submission, and a deputy took him in charge and placed him | in jailat Marion. The sheriff lies at Jerome, and there is no hope of his recovery. The crime caused great indignation at Marion, and Flem- pes has been sent to Michigan City for safe keeping. | father and brother Additional Local.

Er LAND. at Contirms a Kassas United S' Was fo Dec. 10.—In the tes cireuit court to-day ed down Judge Phillips’ decisis in the ease of Wm. Flynn against J. P. eject ment for Sdwards, an action of the recovery of the ssion of 40 acres of land situa- ted in Bates county, ouster laid in isss, the defe poss udant claimed title by meshe Cony The cvide retursed nce under a tax deed. 1oWs that the land was nquent for taxes and suit was instituted in 1887 against the plaintiff in the name of the state to eiorce t e collection of the taxes. Special executions was issued and the land sold $76 and on the day following a deed was issued. The purchasers sold the land to the defendant, who has ior ever since re- mained in session. The validity of the defendant's title is nassailable upon the ground, principally, that it was the duty of the sheriff to have sold the least possible quantity of land that would satisfy the judg- ment and not the whole 40-acre tract. Judge Philips decided that the neglect of the sheriff to sell the land by its smallest legal subdivision did not invalidate the sale, and that when a defendant, having knowledge of a sale, permits it to stand unques- tioned for a long time his inaction affords strong presumption that he acquiesced in the sale. Judgment was rendered for the defendant. Crime Against the Elective Franchise. Washington, Dec. 10.—A bill intro- duced in the house today by Mr. Howard of Indiana, punishing crime against the elective franchise makes it unlawful for any person to receive money or other valuable considera- tion for his vote at any election for representative in congress. The pay- ment of money for the vote of any person at such election is also de- celared unlawful.’ Any person violat- ing either of these provisions shall, upon conviction, be disfranchised for @ period of not less than six nor more than ten years, and for such period be disqualified from holding any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States provided that in all prosecutions under this act against the person charged with having been bribed, the accused may, with the consent of the prosecuting attorney, be exempted from the pros- ecution by making known the person who gave or promised the bribe. A Pension for Mrs. Sheridan. Washington, Dec. 10.—The house committee on invalid pensions to-day authorized a favorable report on the Senate bill granting a pension of $3, 500 per year toIrene Rucker Sheri- dan, wife of the late Gen. Sheridan.
