Governor Francis appointed John Morrison, of Howard county, as warden of the penitentiary last week, which appointment was confirmed by the senate.

If the incoming administration keeps its party promises, the passage of the Blair educational bill, the gen- eral pension law, and the giving of forty acres and a mule to every coon voter, the surplus will soon be dis- | pensed with. Jas. G. Blaine ‘has moved to Washington City. He is evidently of the opinion that the early bird gets the worn, and it is predicted by the knowing ones that by this move Mr. Blaine has served notice on Mr. Harrison that he expects to pe tendered the portfolio of state. One of our bright legislators at Jefferson city, who is extremely anxious to do something that will hand his name down to future gen- erations as a philanthropist, has in- troduced a bill prohibiting the sale of tobacco, cigars and cigarettes to minors. “Democrats die hard,” one of our able contemporaries remarks. Die hard? They do not die at all. The Times, published every: BUTLER TO THE FRONT. From the Review we learn that Rich Hill will put in a gas plant this spriug and thereafter have the ,city lighted by gas.

Let us get to work in this matter, devote a portion of our time to the city’s interest, every citizen of Butler join hands in this common cause and at the end of the first year the improvement will be miraculovs. The Tuves is in dead earnest in this matter, and it 1s time that every property holder in the city was feeling the same way. Strong Les’slat:on The following unique bill was in- troduced into the Nebraska legisla- ture a few days ago and our former townsman, Geo. A.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 11.—The fol- lowing humorous biil was sent up by Fremont Everett, of Burt, to-day. The reading of the bill provoked roars of laughter. Dempster moved that it be referred to the committee on newspapers, but the speaker in- sisted that it should take its proper course: An act to provide for the. repeal more they are whipped the harder they kick. Ifthey could be killed they would be as Napoleon said of the Russians—after they are dead you have to knock them down.—Cin- cinnati Commercial Gazette. Ata caucus meeting of the re- publican members of the legislature Thursday night of last week, Sena- tor J. C. McGinnis, of St. Louis, in- troduced a resolution which was unanimously voted, endorsing Chauncey I. Filley, as the leader of the republican party of Missouri, and recommending him fora place in Gen. Harrison’s cabinet. This indorsement is a fearful dose of medicine for the Globe Democrat to take. ———_—__—— There is noreason for commencing asenatorial campaign this winter, and the effort to do so should be promptly squelched. Governor Francis, Judge Norton and five hun- dred other democrats would proba- bly like to succed Senator Vest, but not one of the number is likely to do so. It seems to us an acts of folly to spring the senatorial question at the commencement of the general assembly, when in fact no senator is to be elected until 1891. There are important matters sufficient to em- ploy our statesmen all of this winter | and no outside matters should be allowed to muddle the situation.— Marshall Democrat. Congressman Stone, of the 12th | Missouri district appeared in his seat in congress Monday for the first of the statute of Nebraska andto pro- vide for all the wants of the inhabit- ants of said state and for the ad- journment of this legislature.

This legislature, having provided for all the wants of the people, is now adjourned. HAD SHE BEEN MURDERED? A Young Wichita Girl Disappears Un- der Very Peculiar Circumstances. Wichita, Kan., Jan. 17.—Officers, detectives and a number of people spent last night and to-day in a vain search for Ollie Triplett, a pretty 16-year-old girl whose strange disap- pearance last night created much excitement. She came down town on an errand last evening, and was seen last twice on her way home. Her mother, with whom she was living—her .father being at Osage City—is almost crazy with grief. A detective this afternoon discov- ered so far the first traces—foot- prints supposed to be her’s, in the road, and beside them those of a man and evidence of a struggle, and the belief is growing that she has been outraged, murdered and her body thrown into the river near by.

Gradually Working Over Into the Re- publican Ranks. working hard and in harmony. There is no longer a doubt that there is amovement on foot when is sit to the House to have it re- red to the committee on appro- ¢priations, of which Mr. Randall is chairman, instead of to the ways and means committee, where it properly belongs. It is understood that the Randalites feel confident that they can obtain the vote to send the same bill to the appro- priations committee that Mr. Cowles obtained in sending his bill repeal- ing the tobacco tax to that body. This is the scheme now and it re- inains to be seen how effectively it can be worked. Lhere were nearly 100 members absent when Cow!es’ bill was referred to the appropria- tions committee and most of these were democrats. It behooves the constituents of these representatives to see that they are in their places when the senate bill goes to the House. Mr. Randell returned here at the commencement of the present ses- sion a more determined protection ist than ever. He has busied him- self during the session, declaring that the present organization of the House is responsible for democratic defeat. He holds with the New York World that it was not the Democratic party, but Cleveland, Carlisle and Mills who were beaten. He says that the democracy must divorce itself from free trade abso- lutely or it will remain forever a mi- nority party. Holding these views, Mr. Randall, of course, is in perfect accord with the republicans, and it is understood that he has secured numerous pledges from so-called democrats to perform the same part, as regards the Senate bill, that they did with the Cowles bill a few days ago. The tariff reformers of the House are on to the scheme to-day, and are laboring earnestly to defeat it. The republicans, with the possible ex- ceptions of Knute Nelson and An- derson, of Iowa, will vote to send the senate bill to Randall’s commit- tee. Randall, it is understood, is trying to secure pledges from the democrats who voted for Cowles mo- tion a few days ago to stand on the same lines when the senate bill is to be referred. It is believed, however, that several of the democrats who voted to refer the bill repealing the tobacco tax to Randall, will not join the republicans en the senate bill. The tariff reform democrats are active and laboring earnestly to de- feat the wiles of Sam Randall, whose object, of course, is to humiliate the ways and means committee and em- barrass the president. It is pretty well understood that Mr. Cleveland w:ll promptly veto the senate bill if it should be passed by congress. Randall’s motive, therefore, is to embarrass the president and try and get even with Mills and the ways and means committee. The Arizona Kicker. Apologetical.—During our ab- sence last week an item crept into the local columns which has stirred up a considerablr feeling. It was in relation to the death of Judge Aandy, and the writer of it, suppos- ing the truth was demanded, said the deceased was an old loafer, bum- mer, drunkard and deat-beat, and that he was found dead beside a jug of whiskey. The friends of the de- ceased are justly indignant at the ex- pose, although they do not deny the charges. We are very sorry that anything of the kind should happen, and are preparing an article for next week, in which the Judge is complimented for his sobriety and love of cold water—praised for his honesty and integrity—compliment- ed for his public charities, and re ferred to as one of the most upright men west of Chicago. While all know better, and while the whole thing will be a falsehood, we shall be smoothing it over for his friends. Extra copies done up ready for mail- ing, only 6 cents each. | Washington, D.

Mother and Four Children Burned. Frightfel Tragedy m a House Near Brookfietd. Brookfield, Mc., Jan. 20.—At 10:- 30 o'clock last night the house of Mrs. Minnie Hall, a young widow with four children liying four miles ' south of here was burned down, and when the neighbors gathered there they found the charred remains of the mother and four children, the | eldest being 9 years old and the! youngest about 2. There being fresh snow on the ground it was discovered that hay had been placed under the house and fire set to it, scattered hay be-— ing seen from the shed tothe house. Tracks ot aman were seen leading | toward the city, and four men fol- lowed them, which resulted in James A. Howell being arrested about 3 o'clock this morning by Marshal Critsfield in a room at the Babb ho- tel. Howell had in his possession a revolver with no loads in it and he was going to take the early morning train, so he said, for Laclede, and | would walk from there south to Prairie Mound school house, where he is teaching school. TO COVER UP A CRIME. The accused murderer is a cousin of the woman and public opinion seems to be that criminal malpractice was performed, from which the woman died, and that the fellow then shot the four children and fired the house tocover his crime. He had been spending Saturdays and Sur- days with the murdered family. There isa high fever of excites ment among the farmers and several from the neighborhood have been around the jail here to-day and tc- night it is well guarded. The prisoner is 24 years of age, sandy complexion, with a light mus- tache. He says he is innocent and knows nothing about the crime. He seems to be very cool and not at all nervous. The five charred bodies were past recognition and were put in a box all together. The remains of a malpractice operation were seen in vessel which had not been entirely destroyed by fire.

There are such persons now on the pensio rolls. Hood’s : Sarsaparilla Is a peculiar medicine, and {s carefully pared by competent pharmacists.
