Detroit, Mich., July 28.—Several days ago Patrick Gallagher felt in his coat pocket for his pipe. It was not there, and its absence caused him to make a terrible wish. His wife reproved him. “Well, I don’t care,” he said, “here with this uplifted hand to heaven I pray that my Creator will paralyze the man who has my pipe.” Before his utterance had died away he felt a severe twitching of the heart and complained of feeling unwell. A doctor was hastily dis- patched for and said that he had re- ceived a stroke of paralysis. As Gallagher wasin straightend circum- stances it was deemed best to remove him for treatment to the Home for the Aged Poor, which was accord- ingly done. Dr. Kaiser, pronounced the case a critical one, and death en- sued in less than twelve hours. The grief-stricken family were at a loss to understand his sudden death. In looking yesterday, however, through his clothes, they were filled with superstitous horror, for in one of his outside pockets was found the missing pipe, which had worked its way into the lining. The death an- gel several weeks ago took away Gallagher's favorite child, a married daughter. Several more of the children are on the sick list, suffer- ing with a mysterious malady which is baiffilng the medica fraternity. The nighborhood is ‘stirred up over the affair.—Globe-Democrat. The John Brown Scaffold. Charleston, W. Va., Aug.—12 John M. Coyle & Co. have sold to James B. Coit of Washington D. C., the lmmber of the scaffold on which the notorious John Brown was hang- ed on Friday, December 2, 1859. Af ter the execution the county sold the lumber of the scaffold to David H Coekrell, a carpenter, who built a porch of it on the property of a Mr. Sheets in 1860. The porch stood until two years ago when the prop- erty was bought by John M. Coyle, who organized a company and began to negotiate with the admirers of Jno. Brown for the sale of the scaffold. The lumber is accompanied by the affidavits of all the parties through whose hands it has passed since 1859. Joseph H. Cockrell, son of Dayid Coekrell, has framed it for Mr. Coit into a scaffold of the same size, shape and form of the original scaffold. The lumber has been kept under lock and guard asa great treasure since 1887. Mr. Coit shipped it Sat- urday last to Washington. No Noticeable Result. Nevada, Mo., Aug, 13.—Tests of the Brown-Sequad elixir were made here last night by Dr. L. H. Callo- way. Some of the most prominent citizens of the town submitted to the hypodermic injection, among them Dr. J. C. Dodson, H. W. Linn, Congresman W. J. Stone, R. B. Speed, Hugh Calloway, Reuben, Lu- eas and J. B. Calloway. The glands used were those of a lamb, and the fluid was injected in the upper arm. Each of the gentlemen mentioned was interviewed this morning and not one of them had experienced any other than a slight soreness of the arm. Two or three of them are quite old and the others are men of vigor. : Senator Vest and Tariff Reform. Ina letter to Mr. R. M. White, ed itor of the Mexico Ledger, Senator Vest calls attention to the express- ed determination of the republicans to control the next general assembly of Missouri, and he also suggests the wisdom of organizing democratic tariffreform clubs throughout the state without needless delay. This is a matter which should be attend- | ed to by the state democratic central gommittee. Now is the time to talk tariff reform and make converts. The democratic papers are working lige Torjans, but the various com- mittees are doing nothing. The time to organize is before the batile. and not in the middle of arout. In- activity on the part of the democrats isthe only hope the republicans have.—Jefferson City Tribune.

I. G. Thompson preached a fine sermon the Ist Sunday, at 11 a. m. at the Walnut church, and must say do think him pretty good on the title subject, as he takes the Bible for it. Rev. Russell preached at Bethel the Ist Sunday at lla. m. and 4p. m. and no doubt but preached two good sermons, as he generally does. It isa pleasure to hear him. James Wilds, wife and baby with the family of W. B. Cole visited friends at Clinton and took in the sights at the well, no doubt. Relatives of Squire Wilds visited him Saturday and Sunday from Henry county. A goodly number of young people assembled at the residence of Sam Price, Sunday evening and enjoyed themselves immensely. Milt, Wat and Eli were there with hosts of others. Did you ever see Tom Board look as lonesome in your life as he did at Walnut Sunday? Must have been because was so far from home, and alone, too, but later in the day no doubt he felt better as he Henry county. wus in The sick on west main are improv- ing. Miss Dora lively as usual.

She is the widow of one of our best friends, Ned Powell, we shall never forget Ned, as we knew him twelve years ago as our first patient. Mrs. Belle Graham, sister of the Price Bros.. is sick at this writing, but under the skillful treat- ment of Dr. Walls, of Butler, hove to soon hear of her recovery. quite John Lentz returned from Adrian Monday morning, where he has been to see his parents and friends. Mrs. Dalton and son, of Vinton, visited relatives here a few days, ree turning home Monday, taking with her her daughter, who has been vis- iting the family of Mr. S. W.

We hear he intends returning to his wife's people this fall. Charley S. cut over 200 acres of oats and flax this season with his binder, who can down that? John Lentz must be rubbing out his accounts and charging them to better men from the amount of writ- ing he does on his books. Jas. Wilds is ploughing for Ike, guess he will sow wheat. Drake Bros. had their oats crop threshed Tuesday by Ogborne’s new machine, and it is a good one, we feel sure, as the throttle is managed by Tom Board, and Jim does his best to satisfy its awful appetite, but it takes about 200 bushels of oats per day to satisfy it. We met Squire Huff, of Shawnee, this week, and to us it seems strange he is a republican, must be for he does ot read the Burien Tires. Mr. Geo.

Rutledge have our thanks for a drink of very fine cider. What in the world is the matter with Dan Embree? one says, don’t you pity him? another, don’t he look bad? how lonesome he will be, but its only about 15 miles to Appleton City, and he may conclude to go there to school—once a week. Ike Smith just drove into the city, and glad to see him looking so well. John Lentz fed the thresher awhile to-day. Judge Ballard spent a few min. utes with us the otherevening.

Lansdown, druggist, Butler, Mo. S-6m Won in the Lottery. Lansing, Mich., Aug. 9—Rev. Fredrick Mayer, pastor of the Evan- gelical church, is a liberal minded gentleman, but his congregation was shocked yesterday to hear that he had been investing in lottery tickets and dumbfounded when they learned further that he had bagged $5,000 in arecent draw- ing. Rev. Mayer is about 28 years old and well educated. He said he bought the ticket just as he would get married or takeany other hazardous step, and that he was overwhelmed when he discoved that he had won a big prize. He declares that he can see nothing sinful in ac- quiring money in this way and he has put his money in the bank until he can find a suitable invest- ment. On the other hand the church society sees considerable harm in the transaction and there is likely to be an early vacancy in the pul- pit.
