Miss Ada Sweet, of Chicago, has accepted General Black’s request to resign. Mrs. General Mulligan has been appointed to succeed her. Indianapolis Sentinel: The business of the L. N. A. & C. fer August shows an increase of $30,000 over the corresponding period last year. The road is being put in excellent condition for the winter, [50,000 ties having been distributed along the Air Line Division, and these will be put down immediately.

The Charge Not Sustained.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Some days ago Richard Campbell and Henry Granger of Jasper County, were arrested and brovght here by the Federal authorities on a charge of passing counterfeit half dollars* Yesterday the men had a preliminary hearing before a United States Commissioner and discharged. John Sherman’s ‘key-note’ was pitched to the tune of the ‘bloodys&irt,’ but since Governor Hoadly has addressed the people John is busilv, but fruitlessly, engaged in attempting to explain to the people how he, a poor man when he entered public life, has been enabled, on an annual salary of a few thousand to live sumptuously and in the same time honestly accumulate a fortune of millions.

The Cincinnati Telegram, a epublican paper, says: “John Sherman made a speech at Mount Gilead which may be regarded as the opening of his senatorial campaign. John’s strongest point was that confederates were appointed to office by the present administration. John must have forgotten that he was the prime minister of the Hayes administration, the one that appointed more cons ederates to office than all administrations that preceded or has followed it since the war.” John should retort by saying that was necessary in order to provide for the scoundrels—white and black, male and female—who, by fraud, perjury and murder counted in the Hayes regime. But, no doubt he thinks the Cleveland administration, pressed by no such motive, is inexcusable.

The Indianapolis Journal, a Republican organ that seems not yet to acquiesce in the choice by the people of Mr. Cleveland as President, recently asserted with unnecessary bitterness that “the Democratic party is in power by the bummer wards of New York and Brooklyn.” (The Rensselaer Republican this week copies and indorses the Journal article.) Referring to it, the New York a leading Republican paper, denounces the asseition as being contrary to the facts, and says: “In the First Assembly district, which is heavily Democratic, and would, therefore, be classed by the Journal as a.“bummer ward,” Garfield received 1,885 votes and Blaine 2,275, a gain of 390. Hancock received 5,241 votes, and Cleveland 4,463, a loss of 778, or a total Democratic loss of 1,168 in the district In the Twenty first district, on the contrary, which is a “brownstone district” and strongly Republican, Garfield received 4,642 votes and Blaine 4,089, a Republican loss of 562, while Cleveland received 4,641, against 3,538 for Hancock, a Democratic gain of 1,108, or a total gain of 1,670 in that one Republican district, which, as it happened, was all that was needed to put the Democratic party in power.” So, after all, it seems that Blaine I was the favorite of the “hummer” I

element of those wards, that class accepting him as a man after their own heart on account of the charges preferred against him, which they beiived to be true, and on which he commenced sham libel proceedings. T on, too, that class accepted his immediate and unequivocal repudiation of Burchard’s blunder on ‘‘Rum, Romanism and Rebellion.”

The Rensselaer Republican, an extremely radical sheet that worships the Republican party with all its editorial heart, body and soul, is very wrathy because Democratic postmasters are taking the places of Republicans, and is particularly indignant because there was a change in Goodland. Bro. Marshall is too sensible a man to deal in such senseless twaddle about “good Republicans and bad, bad Democrats.” Wm. B. Canine was postmaster at Goodlaud until after the election of Mr. Cleveland, and had three years yet to serve. But before the inauguration of the Democratic President Mr. Canine resigned and had his wife appointed P. M. Why was this A man of much less shrewdness thai> the Republican editor could easily guess. Civil service, or its spirit, has never been a guiding star to Bro. Marshall’s party in Newton couaty. Democrats have not been elected or appointed to office because they were competent. Neither have Democrats sniveled over their unfortunate condition. When Alexander Sharp, the old Auditor of this county, died one vear before the expiration of his term, the Board of County Commissioners was strongly petitioned to appoint his son who was then deputy, to fill the vacancy; but they refused to do it, beer, se he was a Democrat, although -he appointment would have been a fitting compliment to the memory of an old citizen, and a man who stood iu the front ranks for honesty, integrity and ability. It ill-becomes individuals or newspapers to whine and lament over the loss of houors and profits sacrificed 1 in a fair stand up fight. The Democratic administration and the Democrats of Newton county have done nothing that would subject them to fair criticism in making the change at Goodland. If to discharge the enemies and put in the friends of the administration is such a bloody crime as th* Republican s ems to regard it just at present, then the Republican party, of which BroMarshall is such an ardent member and gushing admirer, should have paid the penalty of its heinous crimes years ago. But the Republican has a little rule that works only one Tay—“We’uns can do it, but you’uns”—well, “mother says you mus’nt.” Hence these tears! —Goodland Herald. Bra Kitt “sizes ’em.” The same policy was pursued to secure the contiuation of republican postal management in Monon, but it very properly failed. The republicans regard the civil service only so far as it may operate to retain republicans in place.

Apple trees 20 to 23 cents; Russian Mulberry 25 cents, 3 to 5 feet high; Early Richmond cherry 50 cents; Strawberry plants 50 cents to $1 per hundred, at the Rensselaer Nursery. Methodist Ministers.—The Valparaiso Conference concluded its work Monday night. As is elsewhere stated, the Rev. T. C. Webster has accepted a call in Nebraska. His place at Rensselaer will be filled by Rev. David Handly, who has just completed a three years’ te cm at Montmorency, near Lafayette. The Rev. Mcßeynolds is returned to the Rensselaer circuit, and Rev. J. T. Abbett goes back to Morocco and Mount Airy. At Medaryville! J ohn Sebring, is appointed; at Rose Lawn, T. B. Mackin. Remington is to be supplied. The Rev. J. J • Claypool is returned to Morton.

An old railroader speaks in flattering terms of the new superintendent of the L. N-A &0. Since Supt. Woodard took hold there has been a general revolutionising of matters. System has been in-

stilled into every department and the change has been so great for the better that shippers who have felt sore over some trivial mistreatment are now among the warmest friends f the road. With this wholesome ?■ : pervision has come a general improvement on both divisions of the road and the good work of enhancing the value of the system by catering to the wants of the public still continues and gives promise of early making the L., N. A. & C. second to none in its management.

On the Death of Mrs. C. M. Hopkins.

From the Greensburg, (Kas.) Bustler. Mrs. Rebecca F. Hopkins was struck by lightning causing instant death, at her residence, south end of Main street, Greensburg, Kansas, August 31, 1885. No event has ever occured in the history of our town so universally regretted by everyone. In life, Mrs. Hopkins was loved and respected for her many amiable qualities of heart and mind by all who knew her, and her sudden demise has cast a gloom over the entire community. She removed with her husband, C. M. Hopkins, from Rensselaer, Indiana, to Kingman, some years ago, where they built for themselves a happy home. Seized with a desire to acquire lands in this county, they removed here a year ago last June, and were among the very first settlers in this section. Many who were here then, have cause to bless the remembrance of her who contributed so much to the necessities incident to the settle ment of a new country. Since coming here they have erected a beautiful home on their farm adjoining town, and she, no doubt, looked forward to the enjoyment of many pleasant years in the decline of life’s pathway. But alas! The Ruler of all things has bekoned her above, and we mourn her loss. She left two children, undei age, Henry E. and Claudie, both of whom are well known by all our people. It seems that during the storm she arose and went to the window to note the strength of the wind, when the bolt descended, striking the corner of the house, tearing its way through roof, studding and ceiling and struck her head, passing on and burning the floor where she was standing . Her clothing caught fire, but was promptly extinguished by her husband, who was in the next room at the time. The bolt also ran along the ridge pole and tore the casement off the second story window at the opposite end of the house from where she was standing.

On The Death of Charles F. Downing.

Geneva, (neb.) Review. Charles F. Downing was bora in the town of Rensselaer, Jasper county. Ind. November 1, 1863, and died at Colo rado City, Colorado, August 18,1885. Mr. Downing came to Geneva two years ago let May and entered the employ of J. E. Maek, as a barber. About a year ago last June he began business for himself by opening a barber shop and confectionery store which he carried on very sucessfully until compelled to desist on account of failing health. Last Christmas he was married to Miss Laura Shumway and her loving care brought him through the many low spells when it seemed as though he could not live. Four weeks ago Tuesday, in company with his fath-er-in-law, he started to Colorado in hopes that the pure mountain air would bring him relief, butthat dread disease, consumption, had too firm a hold to be loosened. Although it was plain to eyeryone that he could not last long, still his death was sudden and news could hardly be realized. The remains were brought to Geneva and buried last Thursday morning. Rev. Burr conducted the services which were held at the house and attended by a very large audience. His popularity and esteem was further attested by a virtual suspension of business until the funeral was over.

Excitement in Texas. Great excitement has been caused in the vicinity of Parie Tex., by the remarkable recovery of Mr. J. E. Conley, who was so helpless he could not turn m bed, or raise his head; every* body said he was dying of Consump tion: A trial bottle of Dr. Kings New Discovery was sent him. Findlngirelief, ha bought a large bottle and a box of Dr. King’s New Life Pills; by the time he had taken two boxes of Pills and two bottles of the Discovery, he was well and had gained in flesh thirty-six pounds.
