FOR SHERIFF. I wish to announce my candidacy for 'the republican nomination for sheriff of Jasper county, subject to the decision of the Republican county convention, the date fori which has not yet been set. ISAAC WELLS. Still .Wields the Scepter as King of the Onion Fields. Onion kings come and onion kings go, but All Donnelly goes on forever. Last year his throne was fn danger of conquest by either Ed Oliver or B. Forsythe, but now he is showing his ability as the real onion chief and there can be no disputing his right to the title of onion supremacy. Last week he sold a car load of onions at $2.50 a hundred or $1.30 a buflhel, and this week he sold a car for $2.55, or $1.43 a bushel. He still has a number on hand and expects the price to increase a little yet. In the long run it is generally necessary to tip your hat to Sir Alfred, of the Globe Onion Farm.
