The suicide of Carl Paddleford at the residence of George Miller, oo south Main Street, Thursday after- noon of last week, at a little after one The sui- cide had been in this city for the o'clock, was a sad affair. past three months and he came from Elwood, Nebraska, where his widow- ed mother resides. He was about 18 years old and in appearance was nothing but a smooth-faced boy. A short time before he toek his life he was in the best of spirits and with other boys was shooting with a tar- get rifle at a mark. Leaving the boys he went to his boarding house, but remained there only a moment or so when he went to the gun sbop of B. London and took from the safe a 32 ealiber revolver. Putting it in his pocket he went back to his boarding houseand entering, walked to the kitchen door and opened it. There was a couple of ladies sitting by the kitchen stove. He stood in the door a moment,but didn’t speak, then turned and walked to the front of the room and removing a storm coat took a position in frent of a small mirror, pressed the muzzle of the pistol againet the center of his forehead and pulled the trigger. Death was instantaneous. A note found in the pockets of the deceased by the coroner read. ‘The cause of this is that the old folks won't let Lou and me marry. Give all my things to Cecil.” Lou, the young lady referred to in the note is the daughter of B. W. Miller and the match was opposed on the grounds that both parties were too young. By direction of relatives the body was shipped to Elwood, Nebraska, for interment.

Maxey, of Spruce township, announces as candidate for Recorder. Professor Maxey has been teaching in the public sehools of Bates county ) for the last ten years, and for three years has held his present position as principal of the Amsterdam schools. He attended the Gem City Business College, at Quincy, Ill, where he received a splendid busi ness training. He has been an en thusiastic democratic worker since his majority and does yeomanry service for the party. He has rep- resented his township in innumera- ble conventions and was a congres- sional delegate to nominate our popular congressman, Judge De- Armond, at Oaceola in 1896. He isan educated gentleman, with a clear mind and quick wit. Nature has not dealt kindly with him in his bodily structure, being a cripple, but what he lacks ia physical powers is more than compensated in intel- lectual endowments. He would be a strong man on the ticket and make for the bones and nerves, and will build up the child an exceptionally good officer. Virginia Items.

Passaic Items. Well, this month is drawing toa close witha great deal of bluster, and asthe husbandman was begin- ning to make preparations for farm work, his prospects are somewhat blighted. It stands usin hand to be up and doing, as feed of all kind is getting very scarce in the country. Charlie Lee shipped to K C one day last week a car load of cattle. He is a good farmer. E F Boswell shipped two cars of cattle to K C last week. They were good ones, and brought a good price considering times of the Mc- Kinley wave of adversity. Wm Feebeck sold to W M Findlay one lot neatheast main street, where he expects to erect a building in the near future, and one other lot to M. Frier, the village blacksmith, where he expects to set up a new shop. Ed Boswell had two loads of corn shipped in from Nebraska, it cost 28¢ per bu. The Hukell mill is in good running order. Itis under the management of Mr Fritze, who understands his business, as he has followed it for the last 25 years. He has his little boy for fireman and engineer. They had a littie accident the other day while sawing, his boy could not hold steam higher than 50 lbs, and our friend Maddy came along and was looking on and he saidto Mr Fritze, I will try and run a few logs for you, if you will fireup. It was not long until they had 100 Ibs of steam and the saw was whizzing through the log, when running the carriage baek the saw struck a dog and injured the teeth, but she is all right again now. Wm A Packer has returned from his visit. He found his mother bet- ter, and thinks she will entirely re- cover. Wm Conklin has about completed his barn. Heis a deserving young man and is chuck full of business. Geo Walls helped the Col. killa fine porker one day last week; he drew from his beer keg anice glass full of persimmon beer, which George said was excellent. Mrs Harlow, we are glad to note, is up and around again after being confined to her room all winter. J B Rice is hauling logs to the Hukell mill; he expects to build a fine tobacco barn in the fall and fill it from top to bottom. Our young friend Reason Williams hauling logs to the mill. Reason isa rustler fora boy. We like toseea boy take an interest in business af- fairs; they are the ones who make the prosperous men of the future. We see Wm Findlay is able to be out again; he seems to be as full of life and enegy as ever. We spent a very pleasant day with our esteemed friend Uncle Wim Wallis. He seems to be very cheerful, al- though he suffers at times of his illness, but we think when spring opens he will be outagain. We know one thing, he isa democrat of the pure type. We learn from the Col. that Judge E Lockard and Charles Lee went to the recorder’s oflice and procured license to bind some twain together for life. The judge thought he ought to tie the knot, but finally he was persuaded not to interfere, as he was not yet elected judge. We learn that Charles Walters had a valentine party on the 14th inst. All report a nice time. The notice of the blowing up of | the battleship Maine produced quite a flurry of excitement in Passaic. Feebeck wanted to night and give the Spanish a lesson that would teach them how to monkey with onr boat. Wm Conk- jin remembered belonging to the militia. Geo Crews says, boys, be ready to march at a moment’s notice. We think Col. Sharp will lead the van. Uncle Dick Wilcox thinks hogs will go up and in consequence, I say, | let her go, Gallagher. We can’t tell how soon some of us wil] break for the scene ci action. Prof Maxey, who is in charge of the Amsterdam school, and also can- didate for recorder, passed through and took dinner in Passaic last Sun- day. He was on his return home from the committee meeting held in| | Butler on the 19th.
