Governor Cultum, of Illinois, has call

Ono of the items o( biHlticss named is
the redistricting the state, into eongres
sioual districts.

women, were niurdorod-lit their liouso

The residence of Dr. Corda Drake,
near Chlllleotho, Mo;, was recently
burned down, and it was afterward as
certained that Dr. 1. anil a boy living
with him woro burnodivileatb.luw tlm
building, ilo had near $1,000 in mon
ey in the house, and murder is suspect
ed. The gambling dens, and other hell
holes of the worst character, of Chica
go, after a vigorous exposition by the
riiter Ocean, are being broken up and
closed by the Mayor. It seems to be a
fact that Mayor Harrison is in earnest
tbout the matter and lm lias already
closed tho worst places in that city
assignation liousos, gambling and rob-
ier dens and has positively revoked
tho licenes of some of tho lower older
of saloons. The courts of Chicago,,
however, seem to bo obstructing the
duo course of the law in punishing
offendrs,
- i "
A not her election was held in Atchi
son county Missouri, on the 7th inst.,
on tho proppsltion to appropriate $40,
000 to build a new court house at
Rockport. The vote for, was 2,104;
against, 1,107. Lacking 87 votes of
two thirds, the proposition failed. The
Journal seems to weaken on the court
house business, and says, "Wo don't
want a Court house." but that Rock
Port wants and means to have a rail
road. That's "business" let Rock
Port get a railroad and thecourt.hoiiso
will comoto her with llttlo effort.
Sonator Alvin Saunders, on the 8th
Inst. Introduced a joint resolution pro
posing an amendment to tho constitu
tion which will enable an election to
be hold by the people ior tho otllces of
postmasters, United States marshal,
district attorneys, United (States col
lectors of Internal revenue, and other
orticers wlioso duties aro to bu per
formed within the limits of any State
or part of a State, except judges of tha
supreme and interior courts, and pro
vides that all civil olllcers of tho
United States, heads of departments,
and olllcurs whoso duties aro of a tem
porary character, shall hold pllico for
four years, unless a longer term bo
fixed by law. Tho amendment em
powers the president to remove any
ollioor elected for any cause affecting
the incumbent's character, habits or
other (nullifications, excepting political
or religious opinions. The olllcers are
to be elected in tho manner prescribed
bythoStste legislature, Tlm people
will adopt such an amendment most
greedily, and unanimously, if they over
have a chance to vote on it. And that
would be civil service reform that there
would bt some seme in.
Oalvkiit advances with gigantic
strides.
And tho boom augments gathers
strength from day to day as men of
moans come in every day, look around,
appreciate tho situation, observe tho
inducements, comprehend tho reasons
why, tako stock, join in with tho busy
builders.
Every onterprlso encourages another.
Tho confidence of ono establishes
the confidence another. Faith is "catch
ing," especially when so blending with
evidences so palpablo to the naked oyo
as to be swallowed up in actual know
ledge.
How is this?
A stranger jutnps oT tho cars at our
100 foot depot. Ho sees a now town
perfectly alive with industry,
energy, ovory mcohnnlo and laborer
busy; buildings going up ovory where.
At file center of a country that run
afford to make and sustain a city one
of tho riches! of grain and stock-growing
districts.
On tho great Republican Valley
railroad- not a bobtail nor a branch,
be It known but on, th shortest and
best line from Chicago, and the Mis
souri river to Denver.
When strangers couipndioud these
tilings, with the additional important
fact that ihe new town that attracts
their attention is backed by the money,
brains and influence of the great com
pany tliatowns and manages this great
thoroughfare, it doesn't require a vast
amount of faith to make an ordinarily
intelligent man "sro the point" at
once.
And when theso plain truths at'v
lealixed, coulldeiicuin the location is
established, and no further reasons are
'necessary to convince men of money
that thero is nothing mushroom-ltkt-'
tibout Calvkiit, tljat its growth will'
be enduring, that money invested here
will yield a fair profit, all sorts of Huh
iues, proptrrly managed will flourish.
To our readers everywhere, win

If'Was tho occasion of poigmtpf
grief to us when w learned that tin
Hon. William Daily, who was U. Jr.
Marshal for ten years, and who is out
state senator at this very time, had ha
bad luck with ids thorough bred broc(.
mares, or rather, his thorough brei
colts, counted before they were hatch
ed. Daily is a merciful man to lib
brutes, a good feeder, and 'tis said o
him that I e weeps upon the slightes'
occasion. His short-horns aro sleek
and his horses always look well, but
ho overdid the thing when ho dosed
his m a res w i 1 1 1 jlax .seed. W i i a 1 1 1 u fed
flax seed for what his idea was of th(
effect that flax seed would have on
mares heavy with foal, the lord only
knows, but ho fod flax seed at any rate,
audit knocked every embrydtic race
horse on tho placo into the middle of
next week. Any farmer's boy could
have told Daily that flax seed was not
good medicine to make mares bring
forth healthy colts. Wo aro indeed sor
ry for our whilom old friend for not
having more horse ssiibo. His luck
seems to have forsaken him evor since
he got mad at This Advkhtihkii and
quit taking It so he can't fairly blame
us, for hnd he been a regular subscri
ber he would have learned many
tilings that ho ought to know, and no
doubt ho would have seen something
that would have posted him on flax
seed. - - m -

Irisano Bat Bosponaiblo ' 'Reasoning'
Mania."
Dr-.,Hiunmond recently lectured, on
rather, read n paper, before tho Medl-,
eoj-Legal Society of New York, having
especial refetcuco to Guiteaii's mental,
coiidiilou. Ho spoke of tho manner In
whichTlhu tiHsasHin conducted himself
WhlltCpeiiig tried for his life; his abuse
of his frionds who were endeavoring
to aiiyli him his praiso of judge nnd
Jni'y and opposing counsel at ono time,
and lljj'reo denunciation of tlinm at
another; his speech in his defense; his
entlru lack of appreciation of the cir
cumstances surrounding him, and bis
evident misapprehension of iho feel
ings of the peophi toward him: his be
lief jn tho intercession of prominent
persons in his behalf and of his event- f
mil triumph, ect., as evidence of whaM
the Dr. termed "reasoning mania," and '
although its possessor is a lunatic, held -him
responsible for his acts. Ho said:
There is not ail -asylum Mnder tho
charge of any uno of the medical ex
perts for this piosecutiou that does not '
contain patients less Insane than he.
It is asoilrco of satisfaction to mo to
Hud that the views, which for nearly
ten years past I havo endeavored to -promulgate,
have at last received prac-
ileal indorsement by tho conviction
ofGuileau. Tho emotional philoso
phers, desiring htm to bo sane, .Hill en
deavor to pursuado themselves that
their wishes and facts aro the same '
thing, and to the disgrace of American
psychological medicine, they are hus- '
tallied by certain physicians wlioMnn
pcarcd as witnessess for the proseiu-'
tion. Tho eh urge of Judge Cox shows
What ho thought, and it is doubtloss
to his very emphatic declaration that
insanity unless of such an extent as to '
tfOslroy tho knowledge of right and
Wrung, or prevent the accused know
ing the uaturouud consequences of his
.itt, docs not absolve from responsibil
ity from crime, that a verdict of guilty
wis rendered, Let Golteau s'ffer tho
full penalty for tills crime, but let him
be executed with tho distinct under
standing that he is a lunatic deserving '
of punishment. To shut our eyes to
nis exact condition, and to try to flat
ter ourselves lb-it he was of normally
constituted mind when he shot tho
Presidoi.t, is not only cowardly but is
impolitic. The conviction and execu
tion will not bo without tho force of
imux'HUiplo upoji Imndreds of others'
)f unbound minds who may becontem-' ;
plating the commission of crime, and
it will lessen tho conclusion that there
was a sano man, in the full possession
if his mental faculties, capable of
billing the President of the United
States for the purpose of uniting tho.'
wo wings of tho Republican party,'
when both never failed to ,ltow thdlr
ontempt for tho assassin. 1AVas' there
over a more insimo nUkivo
than this, and was there ever a man
whose whole career from childhood to
the present day has afforded a more
itrikiug example of mental derange;
niont called reasoning mania ' ,'"'!"'

The first Monday in April will soon
be bore, and thou we will havo to tako
action in regard to a public school.
Wo now have a district ono mile wjdo,
by two miles long, free fiom debt, and
containing about 80 or 100 children of
.school age. The question is what ahull
On done? We h.ivo no money, no school
house, no teacher. The probabilities
are, that in course of two years a school
house which would be ample now 'will
then bo too small; and looking into
the hit uro we should provide for it,
and also nee that tho futuro share in
the expense. I think that as wo can
draw no Statu money before next July,
and cannot collect any tax before next
April, lHBff, that tho best thing wo can
do is to issue bonds bearing a low rate
of interest as can bo, ami havo them
sell at par, and build an ample build
ing ami finish as many rooms as may bo
needed at tho present, and hire a readi
er and have six mouths school thin
year. It will draw people to us, and be
a means of growth to' our town. Tho
bonds can bo made to run. say $1,000
for three years, 81,000 for flvo yeaiy,
31,000 for seven years; interest payable
annually. This amount seems to me
would build the outside of a respecta
ble building, finish one or two rooms,
and pay a teacher for six months work;
If not, add another Sf.poo duo in ten
years. We cannot wait to get money
by taxation, neither are wo able to
build such a building as our town de
mands; for a building largo enough
to-day, by tho time the last shinglo was
but on would burst should you try to
get all tho children that tho town
would tlionhavointo it. Rymoansofthe.
bonds wo get a good, resppetable build
ing. Get a good name for our town,
and when duo wo will hardly feel it,
because tho taxable property will then
bo in so many moro hands, and ho much
more wealth In tho town.
What do tho rest think about this?
We must think fast so as to act intel
ligently at tho annual meeting.
