John Alexander Logan, United
States Senator from Illinois, closed
his earthly career Sunday, Dec. 26th,
at 3 p. m. He was born in Jackson
county, Ills., Feb. 9, 182G, so that bis
a ge was sixtyyear8,.ten "months aud
fifteen days.
For many years, ,Gen. Logan has
been prominent in national affairs,
having been a,greatjsoldier as well as
a great statesman. He was'a man of
vigor, and consequently of marked
influence. He was always a hard
hitter, as brave and fearless ahe was
kind and generous.
His political foes were just as likely
to be bis warm, personal friends,
because there was little about him
that was mean and niggardly.
He was not of that order of pnblic
men who "feathertheir nest" by
pickings from the public, but was
comparatively poor after along,
public life. It is said that he re
ceived over three hundred personal
letters a day, and that he paid $1,200
a year for postage on his correspon
dence with soldiers, and many believe
that his much work was the im
mediate cause of his death.
He had a wonderful hold upon the
Union 'soldiers of the country, and,
bv innate kindness, traiued msnv a
friend by showing himself friendly
when he could have expected nothing
in return. Soldiers loved him as a
brother, and knew that when they
laid thejr troubles before him, (in the
way of obtaining pensions etc.), he
would do what he could for tbem.
Every good man is unique in hie
life and his work.jandtherelis no ex
ception here. Earnest, true and vigor
ous; always faithful to the trust re
posed in him. America will cherish
his memory as tLat of one of her
bravest soldiers, purest statesman aud
beet'eitizeu.
No mention of Logan's career
(even so brief and hasty as is this,)
would bo thought of without bring
ing into view the remarkable woman
who has been to him such a devoted
wife. No pen, however eloquent,
conld portray that devotion which
never doubted or faltered, but al
ways intelligently aided him in the
work be had to do. Her love for bim
was so intense that many friends be
lieve that but for the call of duty to
his children, her husband's death
would kill her. It does, indeed,
seem at times, when we lose a dear
and noble friend, that we could
willingly go down into
the grave with him and bear
him company, if so It could
justly be, but the noblest tribute we
can pay to their memory is to act
as we know they would advise.
No death is without its lessons to
the living. The attentive ear of the
politician and the statesman will
catch, in the myriad of tribute to
Logan's memory, the virtues Ameri
can citizens admire most in their pub
lic men, and not least of all these will
be, what ; was,' perhaps, one of the
main helps to Logan's successes, the
perfect honor and faithfulness on his
part, which brought him the devoted
love of the remarkable woman who
was his wife, and who made his home
a haven of rest, a heaven of intel
lectual delight from which he could
descend to the conflicts of life with
increasing influence.
A German by the name of H. C.
Buttschein, living on a farm three
miles we6t of Blair, was shot on the
20th inst., and instantly killed. The
entire affair is wrapt in mystery aud
up to the present time baffles the
efforts of the authorities. The' wife
is the only witness to tho kiHing.
While the family, consisting of hus
band, wife' and four 6mal.l children
were seated at supper, a shot wsb
fired through the window Btriking
the husband in the head and neck,
causing instant death. Immediately
a man burst open the door on the
opposite side of the house and began
an assault upon the wife with his
gun. She being a woman of superior
strength and perseverence.6ucceeded
iu foiling him. The dead man re
mained with his head dropped over
iu his plate until the sheriff arrived,
but iu the meantime tfie murderer
bad taken his gun and fled. On ex
amination two number three buck
shot were found in the wounds. The
woman describes the man as having
a sandy beard-and wearing an over
coat. The coroner's jury was at this
writing still in session and the ver
dict is awaited.with interest.
I. D. Chamberlain, editor of the
Headlight at Stromsburg, Neb., and
Judge Frawley, democratic post
master, made quite a sensation one
day last week by the latter meeting
Chamberlain on the street and knock
ing bim down, giving him a black
eye, etc., eo that Chamberlain is laid
up in bed. Frawley then went
before Squire Smith and plead guilty
to an assault and was fined $1. A
warrant was afterwards sworn out
by Lawyer Edgerton, charging bim
with assault with intent to kill, and
be was taken before Squire Coleman.
They tried to get a chauge of venue,
which was denied. The case went to
trial and the prisoner was discharged.
The Polk county officials seemed to
be unshipped on the law regulating
this case, and it probably has not yet
reached its end. By the time it gets
another round up, the officials in Polk
county will be so posted iattbe law of
libel, and assault and battery as to be
fully capable of applying just and
equitable rules to both branches of
the case.
C A. Hull, late president of the
First National Bank of Blair, was
found dead in his bed at an early
hour the other morning at the Grand
Central hotel, New York. It is be
lieved that financial troubles of the
buk are thought to have canted his
death.

WaasilBtB letter.
(Fum our regular correspondent.)
Washington, Deo. 21, 1886.
The past week in Congress was
marked by important legislation aud
interesting debates, but the liveliest
interest centered in the fate of Mr.
Morrison's effort to discuss the tariff
question.
Although the ground was covered
several inches deep with a muddy
slush and the rain was falling steadi
ily, when the time drew near for tak
ing the vote, the galleries of the
House began to fill up rapidly. Long
lines of people clad in rubber shoes
and gossamers and carrying dripping
umbrellas, thronged the corriders of
the Capitol and crowded into the
long seats of the galleries, where they
waited patiently for tho event.
When the speaker recognized the
gentleman from Illinois, an instan
taneous hush fell upon the House,
and Mr. Morrison, in a formal man
ner, moved that the House resolve it
self into a committee of the whole, to
consider revenue bills. Mr. McKin
ley, of Ohio, the acknowledged pro
tection leader of the republican side,
demanded the yeas and nays. Before
the roll call began, Speaker Carlisle
cautioned the House to observe the
most rigid order; as the vote about to
be taken was on one of the most im
portant questions that this Congress
had before it. When the result of
the vote was handed to the speaker,
hejannounced it amid almost breath
less silence. Some of the republican
members then began to applaud, but
in a moment all demonstration was
suppressed. Col. Morrison swung
about in his chair and finally turned
bis back upon the House, while Mr.
Randall smiled and glanced trium
phantly at Messrs. McKinley and
Rccd, who, from the republican side
were quietly observing the demo
crats. Friends of Representative Morri
son were speaking of his future in
connection with bis retirement from
Congress next March. There is one
possible position they think he ould
like to have. Should the Interstate
Commerce bill become a law, and the
commission therein authorized be
composed of the kind of men to suit
Mr. Morrison, he would accept the
presidency of this commission and
serve the people against monopolies.
Senator Edmunds was violently
opposed to a repeal of the Tenure of
Office Act which the senate voted
for. Ho said it was .a restraint now,
although the president was making a
great number of suspensions. Its re
peal would be an invitation to the
executive to remove on purely politi
cal grounds everybody who did not
agree with him, or with some depart
ment official, or with the party. He
thought the senate was taking a step
twenty-five years backward in prac
tical civil service reform.
The senator believed that all these
offices ought to be held for fixed
terms, and he was willing that the
president should, for every vacancy,
select a man of his own political faith.
Said he : 'If there is to be a change
in a couple of years hence (as I trust
and believe there will) ail these mat
ters will then be removed from the
mere strife and spoil and contention
of politics."
Senator Butler, of South Carolina,
is anxious to get up a senatorial junk
eting excursion to Mexico at govern
ment expeuce. It is proposed in the
resolution he introduced, 'that five
senators should investigate "any dis
turbance that may have occurred be
tween the citizens of the two coun
tries." The South Carolinian is en
tirely too late for business. The
press and state department long ago
furnished Congress and the public all
that was to be known about the Mex
ican border troubles. There might
have been some cause for such a trip
when the Cutting affair, was disturb
ing the piece of the frontier, but now
the project can have no object but
that of enjoyment to the traveling
party.
Mnch interest is manifested in the
action to be taken by the president in
reference to the nomination of Mr.
Matthews, the colored recorder of
deed?, from Albany. This is one of
the president's receBs appointments,
which he has held back so far, not
knowing whether to submit it to the
senate or abandon it. Mr. Matthews
received thirteen votes for confirma
tion when his case was before the
senate last spring, but it is thought he
could not gel ten now, for the sena
tors feel that Mr. Cleveland exceeded
his prerogative by re-appointing this
official after bis rejection of bim.
Much has been said about the enor
mous emoluments of the office of the
recorder of deeds. It has been sug
gested that the incumbent grows rich
too rapidly, and that Congress should
make the position a salaried one, aud
turn the fees into the district treas
ury. The office under Fred Douglas,
was worth $50 a day. But rumor
said that the personal fees of the of
fice ran up to $250 the day before the
last Thanksgiving and that all during
the fall the fees averaged $100 a day.
If half of this be true, Mr. Matthews
can retire on a snug little fortune, no
matter what the president and senate
may decide to do with him.

This celebrated humorist, in a well
written article in a recent number of
the Sunny South, published iu Atlan
ta, Ga., says :
Everywhere I go I hear of unad
vertised cures effected by "Swift's
Specific," and this is compelled to be
the experience of every man who
travels and talks. For example, I
was going in a buggy to town (Scnoia)
a few nights ago with Mr, John Mc
Knight, when the conversation turn
ed to the possibility of curing can
cers. "They can be cured," said he "I
cured cue a genuine, well develop
ed, long standing cancer and
it's been well several years, and
the former victim is stout and
healthy."
"How did you cure it?'' I asked.
"I cured it with S. S. S."
"Did you inform Swift of the
cure ?"
"Why, no; what's the use? Swift
knows bis medicine cures cancers.
This incident is one of the number
less prophecies that are daily predict
ing the future of Swift's Specific. I
might go much further with this
branch of the subject might show
the wonderful growth of the business
might show the expeuce in 1879 at
$30,000, and 1886 at $250,000. I might
enlarge upon these and many other
facts, were I writing an advertise
