The recent assault upon Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, by Mr. Laird, of Nebraska, was a disgrace , ful affair. It may be that both parties ere equally guilty, but at any rjatc ‘cures any credit from the af apid City Journal. i The mgan of the laboring men in Terra Hlute says: “No man should be permitted to become a member of the organization who is not a temperate man^a respecter of himself as man, a good, deserving, home-lovfng, family protecting citizen.” If such safeguards were thrown about labor organizations they would accomplish great results. dons is. not injured half so much as iras anticipated and we believe will make i good crop, with half a show from this >n. ;.

The above appeared In the Stuart Press of several weeks since, hut we did not notice it until our attention was called to it by Mr. T. We also noticed it in several of the county exchanges. On last Thursday Mr. T. informed us flint he made the above remark in substance, but that instead of "lliggs of the Fkon tiku” he used "Seloh of tho Item." That Press man is a good one. • Ik the Omaha Republican could suc ceed in its attempt to drive VanWyck and his supporters out of the republican party, the success of the democratic party in the state of Nebraska would be assured. Without the aid of VanWyck republicans the republican party of this state would be minus a majority at the poles. It follows that the Omaha Re publican, if successful in its said attempt, will simply defeat the party which it usually serves with a zeal and devotion almost menivl. Fukd Davidson, a young Swede, was shot ut a dance Suuday night a week ngo. about three miles from Stanton. A com pany of young folks were at tho home of John Everson, who did the shooting. Beer flowed freely aud towards midnight when all had become more or loss intox icated a general quarrel ensued with the abovo result. Another crime, directly cliargnble to rum and Sunday desecra tion. And yet there are some who have said that the latter is “perfectly correct and christian-like.” On last Wednesday a man by the name of James Lyttlc, who lmd stolen a horse from his employer in Pierce county, shot himself and died instantly. After steal ing the horse he went to Norfolk, from there to Madison and while travling on tho road lending in a 'northeasterly di rcctiqn was met by his employer who was in search of him. On being asked what he was doing, the thief hung his head for a moment and then suddenly pulled a revolver, placed it to his breast and fired, instantly expiring. Rkfeiuung to the claim of an Ohio man that he has invented a telephone that will carry the human voice distinct ly for a distance of over two thousand tpetUes, a west am contemporary expresses • hope that “science may yetijj* able to invent something capable of cawytag on a con venation with a far-away piwni i so , of Civil service reform by this 'adpiuis tration.” The reform theory' now being tested proceeds on the hypoethesis that, •InnWnuch as one extreme follows another, the civil service must first be made as bad as it can be, then it will suddenly be come proportionately good. This is occult phylosophy as taught by the Mug wump sages.—National Republican. lx October, 1885, Ford Campbell, of Pierce, was killed by the discharge of a gun in the hands of his partner, Ed. Staggs. It was then supposed to be ac cidental. Several weeks ago Staggs was taken to West Point and lodged in jail on a chare of forgery, lie was after wards taken to Pierce, furnished bonds and released, but was immediately re-ar rested on another charge of forgery, which was withdrawn. Complaint charging him with murder was then sworn out by Clark Steinkraus and he was locked up. Two weeks ago last Sunday hemanagedtoescape. A special to the Herald of Ufe 30th gives an ac count of his capture in Coddr county. Many of the citizens of Pietce county believe Jdm guilty of the henious crime charged and the general opinion is that ,he wifi either swing or spend the rc BMdndyr t»f his days in the penitentiary. i -4,__ Ou* esteemed democratic contempo rary the fif’Neill Tribune is letting the cat pvt of the bag too soon. Read the following from its columns, of a recent Issue: The democrats of this senatorial and representative district hold the balance of power between the VanWycks and Anti-VanWycks, and if there is any de sire on the part of the VanWycks to win they must coalesce with the democrats. There is a strong probability fliat such a result could he attained and with this combination the final result would be de cided in advance. Some action should be taken at once. “Coalesce” is good. There is an old story about the lion and the lamb lying down together that might be well for re publicans to call to mind before entering into this eoalesing business. The demo cratic lion is now watching his chance to capture the senatorial lamb from the republican fold. He’ll get in his work, too, if he isn’t watched.—Ewing Item. • Fuancis M i’iti’ny and his son have obtained 60,000 temperance pledges in Ohio since last September. All this Mas been accomplished by the non-partfzan gospel temperance work, and politics Was never spoken of in their meetings. The third-party jieople in Ohio might learn a lesson from Mr. Murphy, who says: “As to myself I am not a politi cian. I never entered a political con vention to take part in its deliberations. I have never been willing to accept a political office. My office is to save men. I should consider that just as soon as Francis Murphy allowed himself to be come a politician and an aspirant for office just so soon would his influence and usefulness be gone. "If I should become a. politician my influence would be destroyed with many. men who have perfect confidence in me now. A tree Is known by its fruits, and 1 think the results of the gospel uon partizan temperance work show its wonderful power ,in a remarkable de cree.—inter tkcyi. A MOOTED QUESTION. For Homo time past there hot) been more or Iohh discussion ax to the hound ariea of the represent It I ve anti aenatorlal district.* and to set at rest all doubts Chairman Darr wrote to the attorney general canccrnlng the matter and re ceivod the following answer: Lincoln, July 19, 1980. My Dear 8ih:—The 12th senatorial district consists of Antelopo, Holt. Whcolcr, Pierce, Valley and the un organized territory west of Holt and Wheeler, which Is cast of the 8l*t dis trict, (that is Keys Paha, Brown, Blaine and Loup, being then unorganized). The 81st senatorial district is Daweson. Custer. Lincoln, Keith. Cheyenne and Sioux and all unorganized territory north of Lincoln and Keith, which includes Cherry county. This law wns in 1881 before Cherry county was organized and it lias not been changed since. The 20th representative district consists of Holt and the unorganized territory east of the 58th representative district nnd west of Holt. The 58th district be ing south of the 20th, the present Cherry county is included in the 80th district by being west of Holt and north of the 58th. K.vcept that part of Cherry county widen lies north of Keith, which is included in the 5»tli represents tive district In other words, what terri lory wns included in the 30th district has not been changed by the organization of Cherry county. Your representatives in our last legis lature omitted to have Cherry county, ns a county, properly placed in a district. Cherry county is In the 81st senatorial district by being unorganized territory nortli of Lincoln and Keith counties and that pnrt of Cherry north of Lincoln and on the west of Holt incltt ling Brown nnd Koya Paha nre included in the 20th representative district. That part of the present county of Cherry lying north of Keith is in the 50th representative district. Yours very truly, Wm. Lbksk, Atty. Gen’l. Mu. I). L. D.um, O'Neill, Neb. It will thus be seen that one range of townships, being rango 85, of Cherry county, is in the 12th senatorial district, and all the territory in Cherry county' east of range 8(1 belongs to the 20th rep resentivc district.

It may be well to say, in answer to ob jections; that we do not pass any judg ment upon the moral character of the parties whom wo- sketch, but present them to the great Evangelist family ns they may be seen liny day about their work. AY'c wish to avoid the charge of “white washing a rascal,” and yet we do not feel csfllcd upon to give our opinion as to whether a party whose portrait we draw is a saint or a sinner. Portraits give only fhe outside and not the hearts. If they did otherwise, some who are so anxious to have a brother's sins all shown, would cut a very poor figure in our gallery. Permit out to introduce to my audi ence. Mb. Hamby Mathews, of Atkinson. In imagination we some tjrnes see ourself retired from the editor ial chair, covered with honor und a bald head, pointed to by fond parents as an example of what "a good boy can do jf he will only try,” carrying off thgUtrtse* of gold headed canes, and chair^ettj., at church fairs, given to the most JNtfdtyhr man. AVe say, visions of this sort fleet through our imagination betimes ** among the possibilities of the future,. But, unto some such proud eminence as this the subject of this sketch has al ready attained. For years he way the editor of the Graphic of this city, aid A among the best known of our old Rat tlers. After having reaped U ltaKit harvest of shekels and h«Mtn> me tired from the editorial chalp to herotoe one of lht«ftJB*tiv« Mt'chsnU of our it ui^f mm (o «oa|u, but Is well kttownto mwf tkU tkrt< years ago, at the clow of afeoeitl Mating, a number met at tha ofiM uihllng a Proa bytori# church hs%ff" formd.

But §e rauat hasten on. Let ns call m*t upon > gB. W. It. MBHirutX. Mr. H. Hi alao a merchant of this city, and la one of the aoUd men of thu place. By the Way, be li an example of what this town has done and Obn yet do for a man whb Is honest and Willing to work. Mr. II. came here live years ago a poor man, Unlay he Is worth, we judge, $10, 000 and ln\ore. Uo has been trying to lay down bis work ns a merchant to re tire to one of bis farms near, but be finds business crowding him so tbnt It Is more likely he will ugain enlarge his store to accomodate the growing trade. Mr. H., by his public spirit and wise counsel, has contributed not a little to make Atkinson what it Is to-day—one of the first towns of Ilolt county. Until you hnve met Mr. Hendrix you cannot say you are well acquainted with Atkinson. His place of husluccs can lie found near that of Mr. Mathews, on the west side of Main street. But let us for a mumeut drop in upon his excel lency, MU. VltlMI* UCI.FEU, the mayor of Atkinson. Mr. Buffer, although the mayor of our city, is yet a young man and a new comer among us, This distinguished honor was placed up on him lictpuise of his business tact am] energy. He is also a merchant, and lias a branch store north of Atkinson, lie ’will have a grand opening upon the eveut of his moving into his now store. Mr. B. iR ably assisted in his business by Ids accomplished wife, who is a lead ing star in the popular Huh Club of the city. With Mr. BuUcr as presiding officer n,f the city council, improvements have sprung up on every hand, as seen by the new sidewalks, etc. It has come to li]i quite well understood also that the julep of coming to town, getting drunk anil "painting it red" will lie all the wa^ from ten to ottu hundred dollars, and It | is not as popular us it used to he. If yoii visit our city , cull upon Mr. Bulfcr and enjoy a social chat. Or, if you liayc business to do in Ids line it is likely' he can please. T. K. m'coy is to hive with Mr. Forney in thu new building where he will carry on the busi ness of watchmaker and jeweler. You have read in our city papers a kindly in vitation that run like this, "Bring qn your ‘turnip’ if you want it repaired.” McCoy can fix anything from a tooth pick to a wheel-borrow. Many an old “turnip" we may suppose, venerable with age, that had been given up us hav ing “seen its best days,'’ and laid aside as a sort of family heir loom, came forth on this assurance from Mr. M., and is to day doing good service to its owner. Mr. M. is a genial fellow, a line conver sationalist, and you would lie interested to step into his den and have him show you u number of very old and curious watches, which lie delights in doing. Here is an old English watch, made by hand about one hundred years ago—a veritable curiosity. He lias always in stock a fine line of fine watches, clocks, jewelry, spectacles, eyc-glases, etc. Ile paring of all kinds neatly done and war ranted. Be sure you get acquainted witli McCoy. t.uwis m'coy is an artist lutely come to our. city, fresh from liis work and studies irf the east. Ho is a brother of the well known jew eler by that name. While he works photography in all its branches, he yet makes a specialty of portraits. Copying and enlarging in India ink and water colors frem old pictures is a branch of his work. Perhaps you desire a photo graph of your western home with its surrounding scenery done up in water colors or oil to semi back to the friends cast. Mr. M. can furnish you a picture that will make the old folks at home open their eyes. Our Atkinson artists have a lightning process “Of taking a pic ture in about a quarter of a second that at least will do justice to a number of us who have had a scant allow ance of thnt article Iiefore. At church fairs where prizes have been given to the best looking men somehow we have miserably failed to get any. AYc lately had a pecture taken by the bid plan, which we sent to a friend. We felt in simple Justice to ourself bound to state in the letter that our “feet arc not as large as raisen boxes, as suggested by the picture.” Imagine a«r feelings to re ceive a letter of thanks with the false Statement: ‘‘The picture looks JuM like yon.” Mr. McCoy assures us that |l»e lightning process will remedy all of this. We call the attention of our country editors to this, whose pictures, as far as we have teen them, sadly need this Im proved method.
