The populist convention held in this city Saturday was slimly attend ed and little or no enthusiasm was manifest. Col. Dan McConnel of course had his say, and Pierce Hackett, look wise and wishful, hop ing of course that lightning might strike him in the way of a nomina- tion for office this fall. He still has the itch in the pala of the hand. Our good farmer friend E. S. Harrison, of Altona, neighborkhoed called Saturday and renewed. He re- ported the wheat looking finein his section, oats all planted and coming, and in a couple of weeks more corn planting will commence. Many of the farmers have their ground ready and are only waiting te make sure that their corn will come put in the ground. Robt. Davis one of Hudaon town- ships substantial farmers and solid democrats, we understand,will quite likely be a candidate for associate judge ot our eounty court from the southern district. The above report comes through friends and as we have not met or talked to Mr. Davis for some time we have no positive knowledge of his political aspira- tions. S. P. Midkiff, one of the young men shot at Rockville some time ago by deputy marshal Pryor, was in- dicted by the grand jury and placed under arrest The charge against him is felonious assault. From the facts in the case published ag the time of the shooting we are at a loss to know how the indictment came about. But then his trial in court at the next term will reveal the facts. Mr. Midkiff has employed Graves & Clark to defend him. Sheriff Colyer went to Madison, Illinois, last week, and brought back H. G. Cherry, formerly of Adrian, Mo, who left the eounty just previous to the convening of the February term of court. The charge and indictment against him is for obtaining money under false pretenses. We understand that Cherry was indicted at the instance of Haley Shobe, of Rieh Hill, who claims that Cherry gave him worth- less checks for borrowed money. Cherry gave bond and was released. Frank Louderbaek and Wm. Seaggs, two prisoners laying out jail sentences, made their escape Friday. The two had been treated as trusties absut the jail and om the | day of their escape had been sent for coal. Instead of returning they dropped their buckets and lit out. Sheriff Colyer, who was shortly no- tified of their escape put a couple of deputies after them, and Scaggs was captured near Cornland, astride a stolen horse, which he had taken froma John Phelps. Louderback, so far, has not been captured. Bam Walls, north of the city, bas re-| turned home. | The tariff bill was presented to | April 2d.

Shubert of Summit town- ship, was in the city Monday. and informed us that he was expecting the arrival of his mother Mrs Eliza beth Shubert from Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. He said she was 70 years of age, and it had been ten years since he had seen her. The old lady was coming tospend the remainder of her days with him. This will be a happy and joyous meeting. Jchn Pomphry, who was shot by his step-son, John Tombs, at St. Jo- seph a few days ago, died Saturday afternoon. Pomphry was beating his wife at the time Tombs shot him He stated that the shooting was his own fault and asked that his step- son be not prosecuted. Our good German friend and fel- low townsman, Franz Bernhardt, celebrated his sixty eighth birthday at his home in this city Sunday last. Quite a laage number of his friends were present and a most social time was had- Mr. and Mrs. Bervhardt have been residents of our town for a good many years snd are number ed among our best citizens. The Times wishes its aged friend many renewals of the happy event of Sun- day, and hopes that he will continue to prosper and enjoy good health. Silas Levy, who has just returned from the east where he has been spending several weeks buying goods, declares that times are much worse there in a money way than in this section of the country. In short he says the people of this state do not know what hard times are. Business of all kinds, says Mr. Levy, is dull in the east and the merchants are bitterly complaining. “This country is good enough for me,” said Mr. Levy.

Sate Blown and Stamps, Regis- tered Letters, Valuable Pa- pers, and a Small Amount of Money Taken. The Loss To The Government Aggregate $400 or $500. Will Three Suspects Arrested and Jailed. Quite a sensation was ereated in this city Monday morning when it was learned that the past office had been entered by burglars some time during Sunday night, the safe blown and rifled of its contents. The discovery of the robbery was made first by the mail carrier Mr. Haines, who entered the building a few min- utes to 6 o'clock to get the mail sacks for the south bound train. He im mediately noticed postmaster Allen who repaired the office and found affairs to be as represented. A slight investigation showed that the theives had gained an entrance to the room by way of the transom over the door. They then drilled a hole in the safe door and charging the same with explosives blew the door of the safe half across the room. Their booty consisted of $500 or $600 in stamps, a small amount of money in the the safe drawer, sever- al registered letters, all the reports and papers valuable only to the post- master. The money order and postal note books were left on the floor. The strong box in the center of the | safe, which contained considerable money. stamps and other valuables belonging to the postoffice was not molested probably on account of the burry of the burglars, or from the fact that the inner safe, or strong JOE MEYER the CL OTHIER.

The case was attended by our physician. and wag supposed to be well under control. One night I was startled by the child's hard ee and on going to it found it stran ae “It had nearly ceased to breathe. ealizing that the child's alarming condition ome possible in spite of the medicines iven, I reasoned that such remedies would of no avail.

A quantity of newspaper | and postage due stamps were also! found with the papers and re These stamps could only be used by the postmaster and were of no value to the robbers.
