She was about 18 years of age. The manner of her death shocked the whole community. An inquest was held and the remains interred, but there being some irregularity about the proceedings, the body was ex- humed and g second coroner's jury was summconed and further investi- gation made. The verdict was that Miss Rachels had been murdered by parties. She had many admirers among the young gentlemen of that neighborhood. It is now believed that she was outraged and thrown inthe well. It was learned late this evening that two or three of the young men of that neighborhood have disappeared. Suspicion points to them astheguilty parties. state, of which the venerable Coun- ty Clerk Ben Allin is the head, has a history that for office holders is without a parallel in the state, and perhaps in the United States. H ARNESS an d S ADDLRE J | AT THE BEST PRICES IN From September, 1786, at the first court ever held in Mercer coun- ty, Thomas Allin, Sr., father of Ben C., the subject of this article, held the office of both county and circuit clerk until 1830, a period of forty- four years. He was succeeded by his son, Thomas Allin, Jr., brother of Ben C. Thomas Allin, Jr. held the office (both county and circuit) until 1856, a period of thirty- six years, and in 1859 Uncle Ben took one of the offices away from him. He was succeeded in turn by Ben C., the present county clerk, who had been circuit clerk from 1849 to 1862. ‘Squire Richard Bonsel was then elected to the circuit court clerkship, and held the office until 1884, when he was defeated by Bush W. Allin, a son of Ben C:, who is present circuit clerk. Ben C. was ousted from the county clerk’s office during the war for a period of four years, during which time the office was held by Dr.S. C Abell. This period is the only time that one or both offices have not been in the Al lin family, and 1866 Ben C., the present clerk, was re-elected county clerk and has held it uninterrupted- ly ever since, a period of twenty- four years. Barring the period of four years during the war, the office of couuty clerk will have been in the family one hundred years next Sep- tember, and the circuit court clerk- ship in the family for eighty years. Nor is this all. Uncle Ben had a brother Jack who was clerk of Huntsville, Mc. who held the office for a number of years, and he in turn was succeeded by two sons, who held the office for a long while, and still another neph- ew, Thowas H was cierk of Kirks- ville, Mo, for three terms. Phil Al- lin, a son of Uncle Ben, is circuit clerk of @laiborne county, Tex., and has been for three terms of 2 yeas each. Another son, William B. was county attorney for twelve years. One of the most remarkable feats of Uncle Ben’s officeholding is yet: to come. At the last primary there were 1,707 votes cast, of which he got 1,706, Uncle Ben refusing to vote for himself. He is the only man that ran for office in the county who got the entire vote cast.

Des Moines, Ia., Feb. 5.—If the voters of Iowa keep on writing let- ters to their representatives in the legislature, the present deadlock in the jiouse will last till the the crack of doom. Every member has his pockets full of communications from his constituents, all telling him to “stick” and conveying in terms more or less forcible the idea that unless he “beats those republicans” or “lay out those democrats,” as the politi cal faith of the writer or recipient may be. the member had better go to Dakota or further when the ses- sion is over, as his costituents would have no use for him at home All the members who went home to spend Sunday received the same sort of verbal advice from everybody they met, and the consequence was that when the house got together Monday the deadlock was tighter then ever.

THE BRICK LIVERY STABLE AMPLE SUPPLY OF A Democratic Kick. Jesfferson, City, Mo., Feb. 3.—In answer to a telegram from the New York World to Governor Francis asking the latter’s opinion on the course pursued by Speaker Reed, the governor replied: To the editor of the New York World:—Reed’s tyranical ruling are usurpations of power which a fair minded people will remember and resent. The country expects its congress to do all thirgs decently and in order, and the responsibility of the late disgraceful proceedings must rest with that party which per- sistently refuses rules for parlament ary proceedings until it can secure asafe majority by arbitraily remov- ing representives fairly elected. The democrats properly protest yrgent- ly against being used to personate such partisian proceedings. D. R. Francis. Buggies, Carriages, Phaetons, | Drummer Wagons, &c.
