"SHOOK INTO CONGRESS , "
An Intereotinpf Interview with
One of Garflold's School
Boy Friende.
Qarilold'8 Supororlty ns n nillo Shot ,
nnd now It wns Toatod.
A gentleman named Mnrcy , who
haa boon spending the winter with
irionds hero , dropped into THE BER
oflico the other day , nnd in the course
of talk the nnmo of the martyred
Qarfiold ctxrno in.
"Well , uir , I'vo known Gnrfiold
vcr since I was n boy. I could al-
iiost go blindfolded to the very spot
vhoro ho was born. Know him ? I
liould say BO. It seems strange
nough though to hear him called any-
liing but 'Jim , ' for us boys Used al-
rays to call him BO , oven after ho had
ot to bo n inim full grown nnd began
0 get fninouB. Wo wont to school
ogothor , nnd I can BOO him now as n
choolboy just as plain na I can BOO
lie log of that tahlo there. "
After chatting over some of the
ominisconccs of school lifo Mr. Mary -
y hit upon the time when Garfield
as nominated for congress.
"I'vo just boon reading n lifo of
Jnrfiold , and I hnvo to laugh at some
f the mistakes and statements made ,
'or instance , the book I'vo ' been read-
ng tolls about his being unanimously
lominatod the first time for con-
TC88. Now , it's no such a
liing. I was a member myself
f the convention , and I toll
ou wo balloted over a hundred
lines. It was getting after sundown ,
nd there wore several candidates who
teed just about oven , and Uarfiold
vas oilo of them. Finally one of
lioao who was among the loading ones ,
man named Ferguson , withdrew hiai
amo. Just in front of mo sat n
ologato named Merrill. I had boon
vorkinij right hard for Gnrfiold , nnd
when Ferguson withdrew I did what I
ould to muko the break count for
Qarfield , and I urged Merrill to cast
lis vote for him. Merrill had written
1 ballot for another candidate and
was holding it in one hand. I gave
lim a Gnrfiold ballot , and ho hold
his in the other hand. Ho didn't
inrdly know which to vote. As the
oiler came around I saw Merrill hosi
ate , and loaning over I took hold of
ho hand which hold the vote for Gar-
iold , and sort of in fun shook it , and
10 lot the ballot drop into the hat.
Vhen the vote was counted it was
ound that Garfield had just one ma-
ority. It1 was on this nomination
hat Garfield was first olootod to con
gress , and afterwards ho used to laugh
nnd toll mo that I shook him into con-
gross. "
Talking of the sad ending of Gar-
iold'o lifo , led Mr , Murcy to recall
ho fact that Garfield in his early
roars was a wonderful shot , and OB-
socially with a riilp. One incident
jspecially wna fresh in his mind. He
tolls it thus :
"Garfiold was then teaching at
liram , and I was living at Garrets-
villo , a lively little town only a few
miles away. Ho was known far and
ioar among the young follows as the
) est shot in that part of the country.
Chore was a young man named Hi
Boochor , who kept a store in Garrets-
villo , and ho was himself pretty good
m the shoot , nnd ho was , too. He
lad got him n now rifle , and had been
practicing for months , on purpose tc
; ot ready to bent Garfiold. Ho had
a target back of his store , a dm-
; anco of about ton rods , and
lie blazed away at this day after day.
Ho used a dead-rest , and by steady
practice got so that ho could put
ilmost every ball inside a bulls-eye
as small as a silver quarter. When he
thought ho had got himself in * good
trim , ho told mo to BOO Jnmos and got
liim to como around to the store and
shoot with him. James uuod to come
down to Garrotsvillo of a Saturday ,
when there wasn't ' any school , BO the
next time I saw him I told him nil
about it. I told him tfhat the game
was , to got him to shoot at ten rodi
and a dead-rest , and that if lie die
that way Hi would surely boat him ,
'Woll\Baid James'according to ul
the rules of war and the code of honor
the challenged party has the right tc
nnmo tho.uistanco and the weapons
I'll BOO to him. " After a while , as II
nnd I wore standing in frwnt of thi
store , Garfield came along. I hadn'
told Hi about seeing him before , am
called out to him nnd told him tlm
Hi woa getting a little conceited abou
being a crack shot , nnd wanted I
shoot with him. They wont out bad
of the store , and Hi pointed at th
target. " Pshaw ) " says Jnmoe
"that's no distance to shoot. That' '
too much like boys'play. Lot's mnk
it twice as far , anyway.1 Hi objocto
Borne , but James told him ho was th
challenged party , and hdd the choice
nnd they agreed to shoot n
the fence , about twenty rod
off when they commence
to fire , 'Hi was going to use a real
'Oh stand up like a man and shoe

Cutting Loose from Council
Bluff5 In Congressional
Matters.
Straddling tbo Prohibition Question
Spirits of Prophecy In Demand.
Correspondence of the Hoc.
GLAIUNDA , Iowa , February 21.
Now that the question of the number
of representatives in congress Iowa
will bo entitled to scorns to bo settled ,
, ho next stop among our politicians ia
the ro-diatricting of Iowa. The state
will now bo divided into cloven dis-
riots , and as a matter of course will
disarrange old district boundaries.
The south side of the state wants to
bo cut loose from Council Bluffs lost
in the scramble for congressional hon
ors as a BlulHto might carry oil the
prize , leaving Page county's favorite
ion only a two-year old and postpon
ing the chances of Col. Anderson
Smith , McPhowon , J. Y. Stone , L.
T. McCann.F. M Davis , Will Laugh-
lin , Mr. Rowoll and others who might
wear congressional honors with credit
to themselves and honor to the state.
In order to accommodate the poli
ticians of the aouth side , some of the
aspirants favor cutting off a ahoo-
strine district two counties wide , ox-
tondinq from the Missouri river cast-
ward half across the Stato. But this
shoe-string system of districting hae
boon found not altogether satisfactory
in other States , and might not work
well in Iowa.
The next important matter coming
before the public is the temperance
amendment to the constitution of the
State. Many of the people are striv
ing to loam in advance which will be
the popular aide of the question ,
, and none are more careful of ox.
pressing opinions on this subject than
local politicians. In Page county we
have eight llopublicau newspapers , bul
of those only two can yet bo counted ir
favor of the amendment. The coun
ty seat has four papers The Journal ,
which has a pair of editors who respectively
spoctivoly take difloront sides of tin
question ; The Democrat , which op
nosoa the amendment at every stage
The Daily Star , which is openly in fa
vorof the amendment , ami The Ior ]
aid , the oldest paper in the county
whoso editor is whistlinpr , while pass
ing through the graveyard of doubt , t <
keep his courage up , and alternate ! ]
quotes from the different sides , am
seoniB to bo praying "Good Lord , gooi
devil , ' not being certain whoso Immli
ho will full in , and wishing to kooi
friends with both sides , and stands i
good chance to lese friends instead o !
gaining.
Party wire-pullers are also at a los ;
to know how to moot the question , a
the democrats ate not all in favor o
the amendment , nor republicans al
opposed to it. Many a politiciai
would give much to bo blessed witl
the spirit of prophecy , so as to discus
what will bo the prodominont thoor
in years to como.
St. Valentino's day waa proporl'
observed , and many wore the quid
jokes played upon each other by the
fun loving youngsters of our city.
The small pox scare has nhnbst en
tirely abated. No now cases hnvo
been reported for some time past , but
it must bo confessed the disease was
terribly fatal in the families a filleted
with it.
Brother J. W. Chadiin has been
homo for n few days arranging his
business preparatory to removing to
Council Bluffs. Ho and his partner ,
S. D , Street , Esq. , will in a few days
commence the publication of Tha
Council Bluffs Weekly Herald , and
his many friends here are pleased to
know that his enterprise is starting
out under very favorable auspices.
Mr. 0. will publish a good , live re
publican paper , and having located in
ono of the livicst cities in the state ,
his opportunities for serving the pub
lic well ns a journalist will now bo
bettor than over before. Very many
of the old patrons of The Clarindn
Herald nnd his neighbors in our city

in hin now paper and now homo.
Railroad matters are voryquiot , but
the contractors use all the good weath
