There has boon some little criticism of
Kov. Dr. Cooley , pastor of the Bantist
church , because ho was present at tlio
Homo investigation , and assisted in pro
curing evidence. That reverend gentle
man lias so firmly established himself in
the conlidencc and esteem of the entire
community that such criticism can clleet
him but little. It is due to him to state
the fact , however , that ho was not the
instigator of the investigation , but after
others unknown to him had filed charges
with the board , ho was invited anil urged
by the board to obtain needed evidence ,
and to sit as one of the investigators. Ho
refused to sit as a judge , and would have
doolined the other request had it not been
for the fact that the statement was freely
and jmlilioly made that it was a Baptist
institution , and that If ho ignored the in
vestigation entirely ho would bo charged
with being a moral coward. The BKB
has the full correspondence in the matter ,
and did it deem it necessary to refute any
of the insinuations that Hov. Dr. Cooley
wns too olliclous , or was in any way the
cause of the trouble at the Home , it would
publish the correspondence in full.

perform ) ) iillic duties of an millions
uliaiactor , only to pay tlio Duiitilt.v by
terrible reactions which would keep him
conlinud to his home for MWURI ! davs and
weeks. His hurolu li ht for life suemed
not to be insp'nud by the fear of death ,
nor by the deslro to live for
mere life's hake , but by an earnest , Inmost
ambitlou to .see successfully carried out
plans and purpoM-.s for the betterment of
his tellow-cillxens as well as hini .elf. Ho
WHS last spring elected mayor of the eltv ,
with the di.stinet and Komim ! nndur.stand-
iny that his policy should be an ajt ressivu
one for thu bettering u ( the. moral and ma
terial v/i-lfare of C'onneil Ulnll's. .So far
as his health anil strength Have permitted
ho has more than met Hie liiuli expecta
tions of tho'se who --o warmly urged him
to take this position. At this time o | i'-
eiull.V his death comes as : i serious loss to
the city , as well us a sad Idow to llie cir
cle of friends which widens far beyond
the mere limits of the liumo and the com
munity.
Here , where ho has _ lived for .so many
years , no hastily written tribute can com
pare with that silent , reverential tribute
which is felt throughout the community ,
and which .seems too sacred to be rutlc.lv
placed in words. As a.iournalKt , a eitl-
/.en , a public olHuial , a husband and a
father , ho can be uivcn no greater eulogy
than the reeoid which he lias left behind ,
and which will be faithfully cherished in
the memories of those amen j whom ho
moved erect , and with the full stature of
a man , for so many ycar.s.
John W. Chapman was born in Ulairs-
ville , Pa. , July lit , 1835. His father , Jo
seph Ghauman , was also a native of that
state , and a prominent citi/.en of Indiana
county. His mother , Kli/.a Pollock , was
a daughter of Judge * James Pollock , who
was on the bench in Pennsylvania for
twentyflivo years. In 1&18 Mr. and Mrs.
Chapman , with their family of live boys
and two girls , moved from Pennsylvania
to the then territory of Iowa , settling near
Burlington. Here the family spent their
time in the quiet pursuits of farm life.
At the village of Kossuth Mr. Chapman ,
then in his twenty-third year , met and
married Miss Anna Gillett. In 1800 he ,
with his young wife and their eldest born ,
a son , Henry Pollock , left eastern Iowa
and settled at 1'latt.smouth , Neb. , where
their son is now buried. Ho was there
employed as a salesman , first for W. II.
Spratlen & Co. , and afterwards for Too
tle , Hanna < ! c Leach , at Hastings , promi
nent outlining merchants for the exten
sive trade of the west. Ho was elected to the
upper house of the Nebraska territorial
legislature , and there made a successful
entry into the political field in which lie
afterwards wielded so much influence.
In 1807 ho was Induced by his former em
ployers , Spratlen & Johnson , to remove
to tills city and embark with them in a
mercantile enterprise as aparlner. The
following year ho became interested in
the Nonpareil as editor , and continued
in this position until he retired January
1,1881. In the mean time ho had served
four years as treasurer of this county ,
and eight years as United States marshal
for Iowa.
Last spring he was elected as mayor of
this city , a position which sought him ,
rather than one which ho sought. He ac
cepted with reluctance , but has been
bending to the task with wisdom , and
great vigor considering his frailty of
body. One of the very lirst duties which
he had to perform as mayor , was in his
inaugural to announce the fact of the
death of his competitor for that ollice.and
none who wore present when ho took the
chair will forget the generosity and hon
est sympathy with which he began his
inaugural with the folowing words :
"During the more recent mutations of
time one of our greatest calamities has
been recorded intlin sudden demise of my
late competitor for this ollice. The Hon.
Robert Percival was a man of more than
ordinary parts. Ho was a lawyer of re
nown and possessed rare powers of
marked intelligence ; his lifo had ripened
in honors and none in our midst pos
sessed more generous impulses than
ho. His loss is a calamity to
our city , and his virtues arc
worthy of remembrance and emulation. "
The tribute so generously given contains
sentiments which can honestly bo said of
him who has now crossed over to that
land whore political emulations and
titrlfus are no more ,
The family thus called upon to mourn
so deeply consists of the wife and two
daughters. There are two brothers , both
residing in Nebraska , Samuel N. Chap
man at Plnttsmoulh and Josonh M. Chap
man in Sanndcrs county , Mrs. Jennie
C. Barclay , his eldest sister and wife of
Rev. II. A. Barclay , resides at Bird City ,
Cheyenne county , Kan. , and his youngest
sister , Mrs. Mary II. MaUon , wife of Mr.
Daniel Matson , resides at Kossulh , la.
His other brothers died several years
ago. The funeral will bo held at thu
family residence this afternoon at li
o'clock.

which the public was given a far dtller-

giving a slmilare.xplanation of thu mean

thu communication will do away with all
such doubt. Thu commtmlcation which
the Nonpareil refused to publish was as
follows :

In the trial of Arch Coflman for the kill
ing of Alayno at Avoca , the defense intro
duced a number of witnesses Saturday ,
but did not reach the end of thu case.
J. H. Barnes testified that Mayne's char
acter was bad. Ho was a quarrelsome
and dangerous man.
Dr. Macrae and Dr. Pinney testified to
the wounds received by Coflman in his
encounter with Mayno , this testimony be
ing to show that Coflman had been as
saulted so severely as to justify him in
the attempt to defend himself from fur
ther injuries at Mayne's hands.
B. Schontz , who was the jailer hero
when Coflman was arrested , tostilied to
Cofl'man's injuries and condition after the
shooting.
Joe. McCauley , who was at Cofl'man's
house , immediately after the shooting ,
was called on to testify to about thu same
fact.
George W. Burcham testified to the
in the field in the afternoon be-
Quarrel
ore the tragedy , showing that Coll'man
was not the one at fault.
Mrs. J. B , Jackson was present at Coil-
man's house during the time Dr. Xantino
was there. She sat by the bedside fan
ning him nearly all the time. She did not
hear Cofl'mau say that "no d d H n
of a b h could black his eye and Jive , "
as testified to by the doctor.
Deputy Sheriff Long , who made the ar
rested testified also Coll'man's
, to condi
tion and remarks.
Mrs. Sadie Weir , who was employed at
Coll'man's house testified that she was
down town after somn lemons , and meet
ing Coll'man ho told her that ho would
get them , and she need not mind about
it. This was introduced to show that
Coflman was bent on the * peaceful pur
suit of getting some lemons , and not
bent on war , when he came across Mayno
in thu restaurant.
Daniel Weir testified to threats which
ho had heard Mayno make about Coti-
niun.
S. M. Reynolds , of Omaha , instilled on
the same po'nt. ' Ho had heard Mayno
make several throats against Coll'man.

There has been a series of articles pub
lished In Harpers' Monthly for 188.1 ! ,
called "Karly Times in Tennessee. " The
central figure in these sketches was Gov
ernor Surlor , an old revolutionary ollicor
and the first governor of Tennessee
elected by the people , Mrs. McMahon of
this city is great granddaughter of Gov
ernor Serior , and It now appears that a
largo estate loft by him , and consisting of
extensive and valuable tracts of land in
Tennessee and in Virginia has been
granted to the heirs , of whom Mrs. Me-
Muhon Is one , While not yet having
come into actual possession of her share
it is understood that there is no doubt
of her getting it soon , and it
is said the amount is largo.
Her many fri < < nds here will rololco heart
ily on her Happy prospects. Sue has lived
hero for years and her husband , Dr , Mc
Mahon , was in his life one of the leading
physicians , not only of this city but of
the west. If Mrs. MpMahon could re-
ccivo in cash the feus which thu doctor
gayu away in his charity practice alone
It would amount to Inndsomo compe
tency , and in these Ucoch Mrs. McMnhon
filiftrctl in doing what she could to make
others happier and botttr. For these and
many other reasons It tfill rejoice many
huro to learn that as aje is advancing
upon her she Is to conic Int6 possession ol

New York World : Out of PtalV's ' cellar
issued men who have been famous all the
world over. Others have found pauper's

Not long ago onu of the old Bohemians ,
who had through intemperance been re
duced to poverty , met n prosperous
journalist.
"Amos , old boy , I've como to the end
of my journey. Lend me $5 to buy a
pistol. I'm going to shoot myself to
night. "
There were tears in the old fellow's
eyes , but his former associate laughingly
hand him $5 , with a word or two of en
couragement. On the next day they
met. I'he ragged Bohemian was royally
drunk , and was quite demonstrative.
'Why , " said his benefactor , with
assumed indignation , "what do you
mean by breaking your word ? You said
that you would shoot voursclf lastnight. "
"So I did , so 1 did , " muttered lie. I
bought a pistol , went to a room in
French's hotel , undressed myself and
put the weapon to my iiead. Then I Slid-
dunly said to myself , 'Why , you blanked
fool , hero you've paid ? 5 Jor this pistol
when you could have spent $4.DO on a
farewell spree and have 3 cents left for
Paris green to relieve ij'ou of all your
troubles. ' 1 drcsscdi myself and got
drunk. The 8 cents is in my pocket , and
when I am ready I will h iy enough Paris
green to rid mo of my litu , "
The journalist laughed and patted him
on the .shoulder. That ni > ht the

Atlanta Constitution : Hon. Alexander
II. Stephens peace to Jds ashes was
the friend of the Acliiiitu "reporters when
he was governor. His treatment of the
scribes illustrated the ! way in which ho
always looked after details. He never
allowed any of thu secretaries in the ex
ecutive ollice to give out nows. Reporters
were to be sent to him. As the governor
never wont near the canitol the secre
taries had a long rest from reporters.
Every evening about 7 o'clock tno re
porters woultl go to the executive man
sion and walk liku homo folks into the
governor's room. They would find the
great commoner in his roller chair , smok
ing a pipe and resting from his day's
labors. He nearly always had some
good stories to tell in addition to the
news , and the reporters would never be
anxious to leave. Often Mr. Stephens
would have the points of news , the ex
ecutive orders , etc. , copied and ready for
the scribes , and the entire visit of the
boys would bo taken up with story-tell
ing. The reporters had a good time and
got all the news. Mr. Stephens nuvur
suppressed anything the public felt an
interest in , but ho always insisted on
giving the information directly from his
own ups.
