Dr. Thomas has been found guilty of heresy. The republicans of Ohio, elected governor Foster by 15,000 plurality* *.; hsbb lowa has of course gone republican, and by a reported majority of 50,000. MU La Porte is exj>etting to have a first class Opera house soon, capable of seating 1,500 people. ===== President Arthur will pobably appoint a new , cabinet throughout, with possibly one or two exceptions. -! Beecher’s idea of the Thomas trial, is that the Methodist church is trying to cast out an angel to let in a devil.

The wife of the section boss at Goodland, was instantly killed last Saturday morning by the west bound train on the Pan Handle road. On inquiry the following facts were elicited. The lady was walking on the track in time of a heavy shower of rain, holding an umbrella before her face. By reason of the rain, she was not discovered by the engineer until the train was nearly approaching the bridge over which the woman was walking, anil frightened by the alarm whistle, she started to run, but seems to have fallen partly through the bridge, and being on a down grade the engineer could not stop the train until her head had been severed from the body.
