The election in Willow Grove pre

ous as they surely are. are progressing
as usual.
If feasible the company ought to de
vise some means of informing the

tain time is devoted at this station to

the shunting of trains , and it is really
a source of wonderment that no one
has so far been injured.

vith porches , bay window , etc. , and

There can be nothing commendable ,
or oven satisfactory , in a larger man
striking a smaller man , on the grounds
of difference of opinion , or other provo
cation frfr all that , as occurred , Tues
day , in the election incident in which
two of our young men were interested.
Neither does $1.00 and costs seem to

its no protection or defence , at the

Opera Hon e , last evening. The com
pany is McFadden's , and since its ap

and dancing of the little Putnam twin
sistftrs , the jolly coons and the Topsies.1'

lor's saloon , a young tonsorial artist ,

It is perhaps unnecessary for us to
state that the barber was intoxicated.
At all eventswhatever , , the provoca
tion , if any existed , the young barber wa
brutally injured , one of his optics be
ing mashed , with prospects of losing
the same , besides a deep gush in hi
head and other wounds , which he wil
have occasion to remember probably
for the remainder of his natural days
Such occurrences are among the dis
tin'guishing and pleasant ( ? ) features o
the saloon and the rum traffic. It com
mends itself - citi

PJ.ITM GiiEKK. Neb. , Oct. : , 1SSC.
This is to certify. That on the llth day of
October , 18SG , I applied for insurance on my
cattle and horses to the Farmers' Union Ins. .
Co. of Plum Creek , Neb. , as a charter mem
ber , and on the 29th of the same month , my
barn and four horses were destroyed by flre.
On the followingmorning , the president , C.
L. Erriu , and general manager , T. J. Brown-
Held , called on me and in a very gentlemanly
and liberal manner , adjusted my loss to my
entire satisfaction , giving me a guarantee

DON'T BE AFRAID
If you see Deputy Sheriff Bennett
coming after you. Ur. Kay has placed
his accounts in the hands of the deptt-
t } % who is rustling after the doctor's

Attention Smokers !
With every 23 cents worth of goods
bought at the Distribution Cigar Store ,
a ticket in the grand drawing is given.
WELLS , the brakeman who neglected
to close the switch at Rio , the conse
quence of which was the terrible disas
ter on the Chicago , Milwauke & St.
Paul railroad , has been jailed. The
feeling seems to be that the blame rests
wholly on him , but as we remarked a
few days ago , the apparent lack of vig
ilance and attention on the part of the
freight conductor renders him measur
ably responsible , and it would not be in
the line of strict justice to punish the
subordinate and acquit the man in full
charge.
THE attempted assassination of Sur
veyor Beattie , of New York , was simp-
ly an act of revenge , and oilers no sug
gestion , unless it be that all men who
iiave the power to dismiss from their
jmployment. are subject to the same
lunger. The would-be assassin is sev-
inty-two years old , and it is conceiv-
iblc that the effect on his mind of the
lismissal was to create a feeling of
lopelessnesSj leading to despair and a
letermination to be even with the man
esponsible for his removal.
i'PERNICIOUS activity" is the latest
lemocratic disease which Doctor Cleve-
and proposes to treat. There will be
: ery little pernicious activity for Mr.
Cleveland in some quarters when the
icxt presidential canvass begins to ma-
erialize.
IT wasn't a clean sweep , exactlyj
iut enough that way to prevent the
lungry hyena of democracy from being
urned loose in the republican store-
lOtisc and "stuffing" insclf to death.
SAM JONES says Georgia is govern-
d by decent men. who were democrats
efore they got religion.
