The best wishes of the Tres is with him. | Farmers remember you can always get the cash for eggs at Pharis & Son’s. A. D. Health. of Rockville town- ship, who is attending the teachers’ institute, gave us a pleasant call Monday. He will teach in district No. 3, of that township the coming ‘winter. Any one wishing to accommodate aclub of students of the academy with table board for the fall and winter term will communicate at! once with Prof. Martin or some| member of the school board. N. R.. Towne, a wealthy farmer living near Arlington, Nebraska, while standing in the yard talking to his daughter, was shot dead by a tramp named Chas. Pratt. His daughter also, was badly wounded and will probably die. Pratt was captured and placed in jail, but was afterward taken by a mob and hung. The democratic congresional con- vention at Butler, after casting over 500 ballots nominated Judge DeAr- mond to succeed Mr. Stone. Had the convention remained in session amonthit could not have made a better nomination. Jud,e DeAr- mond is an able, scholarly, courte- ous gentleman and will take high rank in the House.—Democrat-News Marshall, Mo. Archie is troubled with a gam- bling den that causes its citizens considerable trouble. One morning early last week a shot was heard in the den, and afterwards one of the occupants was carrying a finger nearly shot off. The parties keep very still about the matter, but it is thought that the gamblers got into ~ some trouble and the shooting was the result. Archie needs a law and order league to clean out this nefa- rious gang, and some tar and feath- ers would not be a bad thing. The latest swindle being worked on farmers is something like this: A smooth, slick, oily tongued young fellow appears and offers the honest farmer the chance to buy his sup- plies at wholesale prices that are below cost, and finally induces his victim to sign a certificate for the quantity of goods wanted, the goods of course not to be paid for until purchaee and delivered. The farm- er signs and in ashorttime the “cer- tificate” turns up in the hands of an innocent party as a promissory note which the farmer has to pay.—Ex. Cass county was for Judge Givan, first, last and all the time, and for four days stood loyally by him. But it has been decreed otherwise. A majority of the delegates have said that Judge D. A. DeArmond of Bates county is to be our standard bearer and Cass county says amen. The Judge is no stranger to our people. He is known here as a pure citizen, as an able lawyer, an eloquent speaker and a staunch democrat. He will command the enthusiastic sup- portof the party throughout the district, and if he does not lead the | ticket we will be disappoiuted.—Cass County Democrat. Withdrawal. Editor Ties:—On account of oth- er arrangement which I have made since announcing myself as candi- date for the office of probate judge before the democratic primay, I find it would be impossible, should I be successful in securing the nom- ination and be elected, to attend to the duties of the office. Therefore, I have decided to withdraw my name from further consideration. Thanking my friends for their sup- port and words of encouragement, and wishing the ticket nominated success, lam Respectfully Sam Wesr.

Peter Lane, the west side merch- ant, is striking at the very bottom of low prices. In buying chickens or selling dry goods he is the beater of beaters, and the firm that leads him off has to stay up all night and put in Sunday. He is a public benefac- tor and the farmers and town people also have long since found out the fact. The way to find out more fully how cheap he is selling goods is to read his advertisement and call and see him. Wood pumps at McBruwe & Co. Miss Grace, daughter of J. C. Mc- Connell, of this city received a few days ago from the board of directors notification of her election asa teach- er in an academy near Toledo, Ohio, and leaves to-day to take her place among the teachers of that institu- tion. Miss Grace stood high in her class at Wooster university last year, and her many friends in this city feel sure she will give eminent satisfac- tion to the managers of the academy to which she has been called to teach.

N ea who was nominated at Har- pate le for state senator. The Maj- orsaid so many urgent requests had been sent him repent: that he could not ignore the wishes of his frieads, and he would make the race; and, although he would not be able to make a thorough and ac- tive canvass he would visit the dif- ferent countiesand see as many of the people as hecould. He promis- ed to visit Henry county in the near future.—Henry Co. Democrat. ———— DROPS DEAD. a PRIMARY ELECTION RULES, | For the Guidance of Judges and Voters on Election Day.

It seems that a lot of youngster’s went out to Antioch church to preaching and on their return hore they got to running their horses. The night being dark they ran into ‘a cart driven by George Wells and Herman Maxey, mashing one wheel and throwing both parties out, but they escaped with slight injuries, while little Eddie O’Neal, whose horse ran into the cart, was thrown from his horse and it is thought struck on his head, mashing one side of his face in a terrible manner. He only lived a short time after the accident. —Johnstown correspondent to the Record. ‘Squire D. G.

E. church festival was a grand success. They cleared about $40. The other day as Geo. Maloney and John Hussey were cleaning out a well in Pat Maloney’s door yard, George, who was at the bottom of the well was overcome by the damps while scraping mud into a bucket. Mr. Hussey gave the alarm and slid down the rope to the bottom and placed George inthe bucket, tying him in with the rope. Mr. Lee and Porter were at windlass and raised him about half way to the top when he fell out of the box, Mr. Hussey, who was still at the bottom, caught him in his arms and tied the rope around his waist and he was raised to the top. Mr. Hussey began to feel the effects of the damps and climbed up the wall until he could reach the rope. Dr. Robinson was ealled and after hard rubbing for about 50 minutes George recovered consciousness and is now out of danger.
