ANOTHER AREHSDORF CASE.
Portsmouth , O. , April 28th. At
Haverhill , a small town in the eastern
part of Scioto count } ' on the Ohio river ,
Dr. W. T. Northrup , a prominent phy
sician and vice president of the Snioto
County Medical Society , was brutally
murdered at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon by Thomas McCoy , a saloon keep
er , and his brother Alfred , the post
master of Haverhill , aided by Pierson
and James McCoy , sons of Alfred and
aged twenty and fifteen. The McCoys
are whisky democrats and Dr. Northrup
was a prohibition republican. The Mc
Coys had always run the township
elections to suit themselves till North- '
rup 's arrival five years ago. He at
once changed things and was working
hard to .introduce local option. This
usurpation of what the McCoys consid
ered their political rights , followed by
a state of affairs that threatened to
ruin their business , incurred their bit
ter hostility. Yesterday afternoon the
four McCoys , learning that Dr. North
rup had neglected the precaution to arm
himself , a measure which the doctor
had adopted some time ago in deference
to his friend's wishes , who knew of the
McCoys' enmity , lay in wait for him.
Just as Dr. Northrup reached a point
on the street opposite the post-office ,
Alfred McCoy ran out and headed him
off from reaching his office , the others
meanwhile opening fire with shot guns
upon the doctor from the house of Thos.
McCoy. The doctor attempted to re
treat to his office , but was intercepted
by Alfred. Drawing his pocket knile
the Doctor stabbed the postmaster in
the side , cutting him badly. Young
Pierson McCoy , fearing their victim
would escape , although he had been
fired at eight times , three loads taking
effect , ran from the house and up to
the doctor , and placing his gun almost
against his breast fired with both bar
rels , the loads passing eutirely through
the poor man's boil\T and tearing out his
heart. W. A. Yandervest , of Grammis
detective agency of Cincinnati , who hap
pened to be in the village visiting , was
a witness of the tragedy , but too far
off to prevent it. lie arrested Alfred ,
who was lying on the ground bleeding
from Northup's knife thrust , and put
him in jail and at once started in pur
suit of the three others. He captured
them late last night at a point several
miles down the river. They are now
safe in jail. The utmost excitement
over the bloody affair prevails. Dr.
Northrup was thirty-five years old , had a
large practice and many personal friends.
He came from Gallia county five years
ago. He was engaged to be married to
Miss Ella Oakes , daughter of Joshua
Oakes. a wealthy farmer , at the time of
his sudden death. Alfred McCoy is
badly wounded. He is a man thirty-
seven years of age. His brother Thomas
i ? thirty five. Alfred was recently ap
pointed postmaster.

Butter Substitutes.
Tn the May Century Professor Atwnter of
Wesleynn University bejrins a series of pa
pers on "The Chemistry of Foods. " From the
chapter on Mutter and Oleomargarine we
quote as follows : "In a number of states in
which the dairy interests are lar e. the manu
facture and sale of butter substitutes has
been prohibited by legislative action. In oth-
"r states laws have been enacted to i-ppulaie
their sale and prevent fraud. An attempt
was made in Conjrre-s to cheek the manufac
ture and sale by taxation sufficient to bring-
their cost nearly to that of butter. In the
law as actually passed , however , the tax was
very much reduced , so that while it may help
toward preventing improper sale of butter
substitutes and , by oblirii ! > r sellers to pay
hijrh license fees , may considerably interlere
with their general use , it will not bo a" ? eflee-
tive in excluding them from the markets as
was desired. This is a ease where mechanical
invention aided by seieuee is enabled to fur
nish a cheap , wholesome , and nutritious food
for the people. Legislation to provide for of
ficial inspection of thN. as of other lood pro
ducts , and to insure that if shall be sold for
what it is and not for what it N not. is very
desirable. Every reasonable measure to pre
vent fraud , heie as elsewhere , oufrht to be
welcomed , lint the attempt to curtail or sup
press the production of a cheap and uselul
food material by law , less the profits with a
class , the producers of butter have enjoyed
from the manufacture of a costlier article
may be dimished , is opposed to the interests
of.alarpe body of people , to the spirit of our
institutions , and to the plainest dictates of
justice. "
The most painful ease of rheumatism may
be relieved by a few applications of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm : its continued use will
cure any case , no matter of how long stand
ing. The record of this pain-relieving med
icine is wonderful. It is equally beneficial
for lame hack , pain in side , shoulder lame

an external remedy. A trial will convince
any person that the above atatcnicnt is cor

Intr on some one's rights by heading our Items

have your correspondent take anything to
heart or break out with measles , for wo think
we have a rljrht to that name without consult
ing anyone. Wo don't wish to infringe on any
one , but wish to drop in a few words to the
valuable county paper , The McCook Tuiii-
une. Hoplnjr It will meet with tholr approval ,
wo remain as ever , and now will proceed with
thp items :
Fine weather and plenty of rain.
Corn planting is the order of the day.
Everybody is breaking all the prairie he can.
Small grain is coming up splendidly and
looks well.
\V. II. Allen has ten acres of fine timber on
his timbciclaim.
Measles is quite bad east of Danbury. espec
ially among children.
W. F. Thorpo has a sick child with lung fever.
Dr. DcMay Is attending to it.
W. W. Dunham has 7J4 acres or Clark's No. 1
potatoes up and looking well.
AV. F. Thorpo has bought himself a lino new
buggy. If any one wants to ride easy and quick ,
just jump in when he hitches up his eolts.
E. G. Dunham is on the jump , nowadays ,
getting ready to turn the earth bottom side up.
He expects to farm 00 sides of his preemption.
Our good blacksmith , .las. Kanouse , works
21 hours for a days labor , seven days for a
week , and IK ) to HI day's for a month , and then
he can't catch up , he has so much to do.
Our friend Edward Kanouse is bound to
have a well this time. sure. He thinks well
augers are not just the thing for deep wells.
Dug wells are the thing for this high country.
W. W. Dunham has finished planting his
three patches of potatoes , as follows : 1st. 8
acres ; 2d , 1(1 ( acres , and 3d , 10 acres , making : H
acres in all. Send on the Paris Green by the \
barrel. '
AVhat ? Did you ever hear of a female pugil- j
ist ? If not , just step ovei the Heaver slope and j
ask Frank Calkins which Is the hardest , his
head or the hoe wielded by the Beaver slope
female pugilist.
This splendid rain has helped all classes of
trade. It lias helped the farmer and the barber.
Before the rain , every man had such a long
face , that it took the barber a long time to
scrape over so large a surface. Since the rain ,
it has shrunk back to a fair face.
Fred. E. Dunham is still at Hartley , attend
ing school. Helms the good wishes and pray
ers of his host of friends , including his old
school teacher , who knows that Fred , will bo
an honor , not only to his parents and friends ,
hut to Red Willow county , if not to our state
and country.
Let some of our eastern friends stop in to
W. W.Dunham's orchard and see cherry trees ,
apricots and others in full bloom and then say
we can't raise fruit in Red Willow county. It
is a mistake. Come west and leave the rocks ,
stones and side-hill plows. Come and raise
fruit with half the expense of what it costs to
raise it in the eastern states.
Danbury is on the rapid growth. Quite a
number of new houses have gone up , this
spring , although they do not expect to have a
station. Of course the H. & M. R It. Co. is try
ing to kill Danbury by denying it a station ;
this simply because Danbury was not the crea-
ation of the Lincoln Land Co. Hut in spite of
the B. & M. buildings are going up , and the
popular Rock Island and St. Joe & Denver will
make of Danbury a second Hastings , if not a
second Chicago. Youit Cokkesi'ondent.
Beggs' Cherry Cough Syrup.
Will relieve that cough almost instantly
and make expectoration easy. Acts simul
taneously on the bowels , kidneys and liver ,
thereby relieving the lungs of that soreness
and pain and also stopping that tickling
sensation in the throat by removing the j
cause. One trial of it will convince any one
that it has no equal on earth for coughs and
colds. McAlillen & Weeks have secured the
sale of it and will guarantee every bottle to
give satisfaction.
