He will speak at the above place later in the campaign.

Mr. A. W. Bingham was up town last Thursday for the first time for several months. The old gentleman is becoming very feeble .with age and very seldom leaves his house now, hilt he hopes to be able to cast a vote for Jas. I G. Blaine for president before lie j departs.

The old gentleman had lots of fun -as always, but contrary to their usual fortune, got no honey 7 to speak of. N. B. They are all democrats and the democrats are out of luck this year.

Owen, the Republican candidate for Cofigress, will address the meeting. Another man who didn’t know it was loaded was working at ditching near the south encl of the county last Saturday, and while showing off tile points of a big, 38 calibre revolver, put a bullet into the leg of Lilias. Bartoo, a young man, son of E. A. Bartoo, of Carpenter township. The ball traveled about eleven inches in the young man’s leg, before it stopped and made a severe and painful wound, but luckily did not break any bones. The north bound mail train due here last Eriday at 5:02 p. m, was badly wrecked down near. Salem, by the breaking of an arnxle under the engine tender. Much damage was done to the traiii but no persons were seriously hurt. The carrying of the mail was considerably demoralized by the accident, as the mail agent who was aboard the train not only failed to make that run but was unable to get to Chicago to bring the mail on the forenoon train, of Saturday.
