COUNTY-SEAT ITEMS.
I From Indianola Courier. ]
Friday evening , our citizens were
hastily.x'alled to tho assistance of deputy
slfcrHStarbuck who gave the alarm of
a "prisoner escaping. " It seems that
some otftthad furnished Bayfielda horse-
thief confined in this jail , with a revolv
er and on Starbuck's opening the door
at supper time the man presented his
compliments and requested Mr. Star-
buck to stand still. Of course Lee com
plied , and Bayfield passed out of the
yard , starting forthe , timber on Coon
Creek. Starbuck gave the alarm , and
started after his man , .firing five shots
as he ran. However , • the man reached
the timber , and five minutes after , there
were fifty men surrounding him. Dennis
Fitzgerald'came upon him in the bed of
the creek , when Bayfield concluding
that discretion was the better part of
valor , surrendered. He was taken
back to jail and put in the cugc , where
he will be apt to stay until called for
by the authorities of Dundy county.
It seems that lie is one of the hostlers
that came .here with Greniar Bros. 'cir-
cus , and was discharged. Two of his
pals had been arrested by the sheriff of
Dundy : county , and Mr. Starbuck has
been i informed that they got away from
him ' last Thursday morning. When
asked why he did not shoot , Bayfield
said , that if some of the parties on horse
back I had come near enough , he would
have 1 shot one of them or made him
give up the horse , buc that it would
]
have been foolishness for him to have J
shot any one on foot , as he recognized
the I fact thab'he would have had a short
shift.
Last Thursday evening , there gather
ed at the residence of Rev. P. C. John
\
son , about fifty ladies and gentlemen of
this < city. The evening was spent in ii
pleasant 1 social converse. Hon. J. W * . „
Dolan ] , in a neat speech , in behalf of the -
donors , presented the Dr. with a hand
some gold headed cane , bearing the in
scription , "Presented to the Rev. P. C.
JohnsonD. , D.by his friends at Indian
ola , Neb , Sept. 27th , " 88. " Dr. Johnson
replied at some length , giving a sum
mary of his labors and experiences al :
among this people , and assuring all that jjj
the pleasant memories of this occasion ,
and I of the good feeling shown him by a
the people of our city , would ever light
en his pathway through life. Then came -
the formal farewells , and the last social r
gathering around the fireside of this
good man's home in our city , was ended.
The prayers and good wishes of the peojn
pie of our city , go with the Doctor and ,
his family to their new home at Osceola ,
and may happiness and prosperity attend
them all their days. Among the min
isters present were the following : Revs.
Charles E. Fulmer and wife , Erastus
Smith and wife , Jas. M. Mann and wife ,
Sam 'l Hartley , Harvey R. Debra and J a
wife. Joseph Buckley , I. W. Dwire , II.

TnE Mississippi Valley Medical asso- ° f
iation evidently agrees with Dr. Bill-
ngs of the university experiment station
s to the nature and origin of yellow
ever. They have passed resolutions de-
laring that it is not contagious , butin-
ectious , and that to properly quaranR
ine against it the people ought to stop if
nd disinfect the effects of the incomer
rom a stricken section and not the per-
on. This is the inevitable deduction
'the fever is an "estranrgani .nial" or
'exogenous" disease and that the germs
lave their habitat in the earth the same
s the germs of Texas fever. in cattle
nd of the swine plague. This granted ,
well person ought to be allowed to S
ravel , provided his clothing and his len
iaggage are thoroughly disinfected.
Jroper precautions , the same as are
aken in other infectious diseases , like
yphus fever , will prevent the spread of
he disease in qny community where it
las not become endemic. Journal.
The commercial traveller 's Harrison
nd Morton protective legion of the state
if New York , with headquarters at
lochester , has issued an address to the
ommercial salesmen setting forth the
eason why the league believes it to the
dvantage of all salesmen to stand with
he republican party. The club was or-
anized six weeks ago and has a mcra-
icrship of 200 , all salesmen , from dif-
erent parts of the state. The address
eals with the question of free trade as
ispecially affecting commercial menand
lenounces the Mills bill as intended to
ill the business of the commercial
raveller. The address is signed by
ome of the best known salesmen on the
oad.
