The Chicago Convention.

The Express has made arrangements for complete reports by special telegraphic correspondence of the proceedings of the convention at Chicago. In Sunday's Express there will be a telegraphic review of the situation in Chicago, where already many leading men in the Republican party are assembled.

Agents are requested to send in their orders for extra papers, beginning with Sunday's issue, as early as possible.

Some busy Democratic politicians in theeast are trying to get rid of the taij of the old ticket and substitute McDonald or Morrison.

The man who wants to be on the winning side is now a very enthusiastic supporter of Arthur for president. This applies also to the man who edits a newspaper.

A contested nU-riion i-.ise in the Vandalia city coui.t-

settled by the

contestants drawing straws. The Republican drew the winning straw and thus once more does the adage that Btraws show which way the wind blows hold good.

Ex-Senator Sharon has been on the witness stand in the suit brought against him by Aggie Hill, who claimB to have been duly married to the dryed up little old man who once used MB «reat wealth to beelected from Nevada to the United States senate. The exsenator, iets call him that because he paid his money for the title only as he never gave any time to the duties of the position, testified that he was never married to Miss Hill but that he made a bargain with her by which she agreed to live with him for $500, she refusing his first offer of $250 because it was not enough. The witness said he always paid her promptly.

If a more disgusting statement was ever made on the witness stand it was

cause the Associated Press to send the news all over the country, as was done in this instance.

The "Martyr Missionary," the Rev. Q. R. Shaw, ot England, is just now at the heighth of his glory. The reverend gentleman, it will be remembered, was missionary to Madagascar and was taken captive without sufficient cause by the French forces.

patch says he looks slefek, well-fed, satisfied, and ten years younger than he did when he reached England after his release from captivity at Tamatave. He admits that he enjoys being lionized by the Conservatives, and expresses no desire for immediate return to the drudgery of missionary life in Madagascar. His grievance is that the British lion was not made to-roar as loud as it ought ought to have been made to do in securing the release of the captive. Of course the Reverend 8haw's case fits the hands that are trying to pull down the Gladstone government, and while he is thus being used the missionary has forgotten about savin# heathen souls. There is, after all, a good deal of selfishness in missionaries, who are supposed necessarily to forego all personal considerations, as there is in the rest of human nature.

A rumor was started Monday that Tilden html been taken suddenly ill and reporters rushed to his residence to in vestigale. To their surprise Tilden answered the bell and opened the heavy front door without any help from his servants. It had been some days since Tilden had been figuring as an athlete and thore is room for the suspicion that the wily old man started the report about his illness and then bade tbe servants to remain away from the front door that he might display his strength. The most pitiful feature of the Tilden campaign is the ridicu lous attitude in which the enthusiastic and confiding Watterson is placed, While earnestly supporting McDonald and trustingly believing that Tilden wonld not be a candidate, he was trapped into writing the original health bulletin of which we have had so many weak imitations. Watterson with his impulsive nature could not realize that his Uncle Sammy in his political wis dom knew that the early boom never catches the nomination and that for the time being he, Watterson, was to be allowed to become hysterical in the ecstacy of enthusiasm Old Saddlebags is alleged to excite among his sup porters. But now that the boom season is arrived when booms rush on to success, Watterson is compelled to for sake Old Saddlebags and return to the Athlete of Grammercy Park filled with the deepest mortification at hav inghis frank and sincere nature trifled with by a designing old man.

"Justice," the time-worn writer of cards for newspapers, is alarmed lest the public be misled by an item of news that appeared in the Express a few days ago. This was the item "The commissioners have allowed $1,950 for extras on the foundation of the new court house. These extras will be piled on as the work pro gresses." Justice says "the board have not allowed any 'extras,' but have made a contract for additional work on the foundation, rendered absolutely necessary by the discovery in the excavations for the foundation that the court house square had been filled at SOme time, BUtt, conoequoutly, the foundation had*to be put down below this till, for the safety of the building. Had this been known, the architect would have provided for it in the specifications." We were not unprepared for the explanation, because be tweeii now and the time the court house is completed there will be many excuses offered for increasing the cost of the court house, but with each ex cuse the figures will climb nearer and nearer $500,000 for tbe totel cost instead of $285,000, as the people were given to understand when the board of commissioners let the contract. This amount did not in elude the inside work or the furniture, The public may as well prepare itself for many such distinctions as this one "Justice" has made, and after a while perhaps, the taxpayers can realize that the difference between "extras" and "additional work" will make the payment by the peeple of the $125,000 or $150,000 for "additional work" a mere bagatelle—a pleasure, in fact.

The daily newspapers of this country are rapidly meeting the wants of the reading public in other respects than providing the daily news. They are more or less going into the illustrated field, and have for some time been supplying the public with serial stories. The reviews of the great battles of the civil war, prepared by those who took part on the Confederate side, as well as by those in the Union ranks, and published in the Philadelphia Times, have become accepted history. In the discussion of public questions both by' the editor and public men, the newspaper columns have to a laige extent taken the prestige from the magazines and left the platform deserted. The effect of all this iB good. In no other country are the readers of the daily press furnished with

much for so little money. One of the most interesting newspaper enterprises is the one which has been entered into byjonrnalB in different large cities combined: in New York, the Sun in Philadelphia, the Times in Cincin. nati, the Enquirer in St. Louis, the Globe-Democrat in New Orleans, the Times-Democrat in Springfield, the Republican, with perhaps others. The first of the stories is from the pen of Mr. Henry James, and it will be followed by one from Mr. W. D. Howells, who in turn will be succeeded by Mr. Bret Harte. This new step means that these newspapers, iu additions to supplying their readers with long European letters by cable, full telegraphic letters from Washington and other news centers in this country, and the daily record of all happenings and

EilliV

novel character, will usurp the publishing house's province, and without extra charge give tbe reader the works of the very best American novelists.

HANGED DESPITE CRIES.

HER OUT-

A Woman Executed In England—Brutal Work of the Bangman.

A special cable to the World de scribes the hanging of a woman at Lincoln, Eng., as follows:

A horrible hanging occurred to-day at Lincoln. The victim was Mrs. Leffley, who poisoned, her husband last fall and was duly convicted and sen tenced at Linconshire sessions. She had, however, acquired some money by her husband's death and spent it liberally in pressing an appeal to the home secretary for a commutation of sentence to imprisonment for life, or. if that were refused, for a reprieve of a few weeks. To the very last moment Mrs. LefHey believed that a reprieve would be granted, and she was not by any means reconciled to her fate. When she first saw the hangman in the pinioning room she shrieked with ter ror and fainted. She was restored to consciousness, and the hangman beg to prepare her for the gallows by pinioning her elbows and fixing a strap loosely around her skirts, to be tightened about her ankles after she had walked to the scaffold. Mrs. LelHey fought desperately to prevent the re straints, and gave utterance to fright ful yells, which were heard even out side the massive walis of the jail. On the way to the scaffold the screams of the condemned were almost maniacal and drowned the voice of the chap lain, who w.na reciting the prayers for the dying. When she was placed upon the trap she con tinued to scream and incoher ently avow her innocence until the white cap was pull down over her mouth and stifled her voice. Then the trap fell, the woman was dropped into the well, and in a few minutes was pronounced dead. The usual in quest was held, and the corpse was buried in the jail-yard and covered with quicklime.

Contrary to the usual custom, no representatives of the press were ad mitted to the jail-yard, and contra diclory stories are told by the medical men and other official witnesses of the execution. All the facts as stated above are admitted by all the witnesses, but one of them says in addition that Hangman Binns was unnecessarily and barbarously brutal in his treatment of the unhappy woman. He knocked her down in the

I learn that Mr. Dana's income from that paper is not only princely, but that it is exceeded only by that of Mr. Bennett. When Mr. Dana took hold of the Sun he made a contract with the trustees to edit the paper at a saiary of $10,000 a year. He had then some twenty shares in the paper. Said he: "Now if the profits of the paper are large I think I ought to have an interest in them outside of my salary, and I propose that all dividends above 25 percent, shall be divided, and that I have half." The stockholders, to whom a dividend of 25 per cent seemed not only verv large, but very improbable, said: "\Vhy, of course, if we declare any dividends over 25 per cent, you shall have one half." "Will you make a contract to that effect for ten years?" said Mr. Dana. The stockholders agreed, and the contracts were made.

Within two years the paper paid over fifty per cent, and for a number of years has not paid less than eighty. The ten-year coutract expired a year or two ago and it was renewed, with this change, that Mr. Dana gets one-half of all the dividends over forty per cent. I hear on the best authority that Mr. Dana's share last year, including his salary, was $207,000.

MEDFORD, Wis., May 20.—The Keel-er-Hubbell scandal, which burst anew upon the community yesterday, wounjl up with a tragedy last night. Keeler, the postmaster, intercepted a letter from his wife to Hubbell, which, it is said, furnished abundant evidence of criminal intimacy between the two. He loaded a revolver, sought out his wife, and fired at her. Jirs. Keeler ran out of the postoffiee into a drug store next door, with Keeler in pursuit. He was held until the sheriff came and disarmed him He declared that if Hubbell and his wife did not leave town ho would kill them both Judge Phelps went to the bank of which Hubbell was president, and told Hubbell, who was as yet unconscious of the scene enacted within a few yards of him, of what had occurred,

He asked Phelps what caused the shooting, and Phelps told him of tbe intercepted letter. He asked what it contained. Phelps answered "I do not know. She is at my house you can go and see her." Hubbel I called at Judge Phelps's about 4:30, remained a few minutes, and left, remarking: "There is nothing left me to do but make my will and go away. I will be back in two hours." He went directly to his office, which is in his residence. About 6 o'clock he crossed the street to the store of Glas80W

He then took his coat off, folded quilt,, and laid it on the bed, saturated a towel with chloroform, lay down upon the bed, put a pistol to his left temple and fired a snot directly into his brain.

Hubbell's will, after a few bequests to relatives and friends, left the residue of his estate to Mrs. Keeler. Hubbell was president of the Exchange bank of Medford, treasurer of Taylor county, and a very prominent citizen. His estate is variously estimated at from $20, 000 to $40,000.

A Sijcn^of the Times.

New York Herald.

When business was about to begin at the stock exchange yesterday morning everybody approaching the Wall street entrance was startled by a sign-board hbout five feet long and two feet wide Btretched across the sidewalk immediately adjoining the exchange doorway. The board bore the following legend in black lettere, visible a block distant:

LOOK OUT! DANGER!

The warning had not been put there by

some

pessimistic bear, nor did it have

any intentional significance as applying to the condition of things in the stock exchange, as everybody thought at first sight. It appears that the con tractor who is tearing down the Mortimer building, directly ad joining {he stock exchange, and which has been purchased by the brokers for a site on which to erect an addition to the Exchange building was tbe owner of the signboard. The warning was intended to be addressed to careless pedestrians, so that they would take to the middle of the street while passing the Mortimer building, and thus obviate the dangers of receiving upon the top of the head a section of brick wall. The innocent contractor protested until he grew red in the ice that somebody had moved the sign several feet nearer the doorway of the Exchange. Superstitious bulls induced the officials to cause a prompt removal of the awful warning. When, an hou later, it was found once more at the doorway it was evident that some mischievous person had a hand in it. The

ominous signboard was token away

POISON

In the blood is apt to show Itself in the spring, and nature should oy all means be assisted in throwing It off. Swift's Specific does thif effectively. It is a purely vegetable, non-poisonous remedy, which helps nature to force all the nolson or taint out through tbe pores of the skin

Mr. Robert A. Easley, of Dickson, Tenn., writes, under date March 10,1884: "I had chills and fever, followed by rheumatism, for three years, so that I was not able to attend to my business had tried almost

began to improve, I continued until I had taken six bottles, and it has set me on my feet, as soond and well as ever. I recommend It to all similarly affected.'

Letters from twenty-three (28) of the leading retail druggists of Atlanta say, under te March 34, 1884: "We sell more of Swift's Specific than any one remedy, and three to ten times as much as any other blood medicine. We sell It to all classes, and many of the best families use it as a general health tonic."
