CITY AND COUNTY.

Additional Local XewH Will be Found on the Hei'enth and Other JPagett Siew Press—Mew Quarters. The new press, engine and appurtenances, together with a complement of new printing material, has been installed in the Pilot office, and after nearly three weeks of trouble in adjusting and getting acquainted with the new machinery, the plant is at last in a sufficiently settled condition to begin business again. Numerous obstacles have been encountered that caused unavoidable delay in the issuing of the paper the last two weeks, besides taking up the time needed in making a readable paper, to say nothing of the heavy bill of expenses which were not expected. Besides all this trouble circumstances necessitated a removal of the whole office, from the old rooms up stairs, on account of the great weight of the new press, to a ground floor loca tion where solid foundations could be had. The press is a C. B. Cottrell & Son’s country drum cylinder of the latest make, which is as sandard among printers as a McCormick or Deering harvester is among farmers. It weighs 6300 pounds, and to move it from the cars up a narrow stairway to a high second floor was no small task: then after having it all set up and in perfeet running order, to

be obliged to take it to pieces and move it down stairs and into another building, to again set up and adjust, has been an exceedingly laborious undertaking. But is over now and the new office is much better adapted to the needs of a printing office. It is centrally located opposite the court house just south of McCoy’s bank, and patrons will not be obliged to climb a dark and unviting stairway to reach us. Next week we shall endeavor to have the Pilot greatly improved over anything that it has been in the past. It will be printed in the furure on Thursday afternoon, so as to mail in time to reach subscribers in all parts of the county by Saturday morning.

Among other selections there will be given “Recollections of War,” which is in itself air* ady a complete musicale, and one which no true veteran will want to miss, as it is the grandest display of its bind and vividly brings back the thrilling remembrances of battle. Similar compositions are the grand National melodies and the concert petit, “Gems of Germany.” At the same time the comical in music has not been left out of question, and accordingly the “Coxey’s Army Parade” has been insert*d in the program.

“Blood to the Horses’ Bridles.”

Hon. Davis H. Waite, ex-gov-ernor of Colorado, who has caused the corporations and money changer more uneasiness than any man of the persent time, has established a weekly reform paper at Denver, Colo. It is chock-ful of good thoughts and terse sayings on living issues.. It would be cheap at SI.OO per annum, but the price is 50 cts. The governor is a broad, liberal thinker; he delves deeply and analyzes closely; he is such a forceful writer that even those who differ with him delight to read his paper. He closed one of his recent speeches with the following significant paragraph: “Our weapons are arguments and the ballot—a free ballot and a fair count. But if the money power shall attempt to sustain its usurpation by ‘tie strong hand,’ we will meet that issue when it is lorced upon us; for it is better, infinitely better, that blood should flow to the horses’ bridles, rather than our national liberties should be destroyed.” Every progressive thinker should send 50c to “Our Nation’s Crisis,” Denver, Colo. The paper will be given as a premium with every payment of $2.00 to the Pople’s Pilot on subscription account.

McClure’s Magazine for May.

Twenty-Three portraits of Bismark, covering a period of sixty years, from his student days down to the present time, are the most striking feature of McClure’s Magazine for May, all of the portraits being very interesting, and a number of them rare. But quite as remarkable in its way is an illustrated paper by E. J. Edwards, reciting the dramatic events of the period when the Tammany society first began to gourmandize on the spoils of office and when the no. torius Marshal Rynders and his “plug-uglies” held the city of New York under their violent sway. A paper on “Journalism,’’ by Charles A. Dana, editor of “The Sun,” New York, gives the opinions which Mr. Dana has gathered from his own remarkably full experience, regarding the opportunities journalism offers to generous-minded and well-educated young men, and regarding the best preparation for newspaper work. The scene of wild enthusiasm in the French Assembly in 1840 over an unexpected proposal to disinter the remains of Napoleon at St; Helena and remove them to Paris, and the august ceremonies attending the execution of the project both at St. Helena and in Paris, are well described in a paber by Miss Ida M. Tarbell. In illustration of the paper there is reproduced a series of very rare contemporary prints, showing the funeral progress from the embarkment of the remains to their final burial.

An American Exposition for Africa.

New York, May 1. —A special from Cape Town, says the American Society of South Africa, although but three months old, numbers 80 members. One of Its objects is “to foster commercial Intercourse with the United States.” The society intends to hold an American exhibition in one of the principal towns of South Africa. The plan is to erect a handsome permanent building, to be called the “American Palace,” and to collect there a representative display of American products and manufactures.

EVIDENCE IN DURRANT CASE IN

Jealous Husband Saw the Accused and the Williams Girl Together. San Francisco, Cal., May I.—The evidence in the preliminary examination of Theodore Durrant for the murder of Marian Williams is all in, and Judge Conlon will deliver his opinion tomorrow morning. Dr. J. S. Barrett, who performed the autopsy on the body of Miss Williams, was cross-examined for hours by the defendant’s attorney yesterday. He said Miss Williams died from asphyxiation and hemorrhage, the former caused by rags forced down her throat and the hemorrhage by the severing of the arteries in her wrist. Other wounds on various parts of her body were inflicted after death. C. H. Hill testified a man resembling Durrant met a woman answering Miss Williams’ description near Emanuel Church Good Friday night, walked rapidly down the street, and disappeared inside the dark church. He watched them intently because, as he testified, he thought the woman was his wife keeping an appointment with another man. When he went however, he found his wife there.

A TEMPORARY AGREEMET.

No Trouble Expected for the Present In lowa Mines. Boone, la., May I.—The miners in the Fraser and Milford mines are at work under a temporary arrangement, the old price of last year being paid for the present. At Angus the price has been reduced to 80 cents per ton, and the mines are working full time. Saturday about 200 miners from the Milford and Fraser banks went to Angus to induce the latter miners to strike for the price paid at Milford, $1 per ton, but did not succeed. The men at Milford and Fraser, together with those of Logansport, are obstinately insisting on the old price, which the operators just as positively say they cannot pay. The matter is left in this shape by agreement until July 1, the operators taking out only sufficient coal to fill their contracts, which expire on that date, after which the mines will be closed if an agreement is not reached. It looks as if a deadlock would result. Only thirtysix mines £n Southern lowa are work- - ing under the scale rate and will soon quit. They are in the Appanoose district.
