nnd
Thcro hns boon n great deal of speculation
conucmiiiK tbo rcslfjnntlon of Dr. D. H ,
Cooley from the pastornto of the First Hap-
tUt church of this city. Many have supposed
that the resignation was not mini , nnd Unit
the pastor could bo prevailed upon to recon
sider the mutter nnd stay with the people
who love him so well nnd where ho 1ms
accomplished such splcndl-1 work. Hut tlio
doctor has made some very positive declara
tions nnd authorized their publication In nn
ovnmnK paper , and the members who hnvo
fondly hoped to rotnin him , if necessary by a
liberal increase of salary , are sorely disap
pointed. In fipcnUlng to the reporter lr. )
Cooley took occasion to say In emphatic terms
that It wns Ilnul , and thut be should lint ru-
innin In charge of the woi'c ' here despite the
fact thnt ho Imd built n cozy homo mul was us
deeply attached to it as ho was to the inter
ests of his pnrishonurs.
"My resignation is Html , nnd I shall not
rcmnln in charge , " suld ho to tbo reporter.
'When does your resignation take effect ! "
"On October I. Hut should tboehiircli not
succeed in sultlni ; itself with u shepherd
before that tlmo I will probably i-cimiln in
chnrKo till the end of October. "
"Has your work hero been agreeable to
you ! "
"Well , thnt is or lending question. I pre
sume that every sliophuni of the sheep must
do n great deal of carryinp. My members
nro mostly poor , thank the Lord , yet I could
Imagine tlmt u moro lucrative pastorate could
bo found by mo thnn this one , as far us dollars
lars and cents nro concerned. "
"Do you intend to continue In the minis
terial calling ! "
" 0 , yes. 13ut 1 must take n reit. I do not
design to take charge of any other church ,
though I am receiving letters from different
societies requesting mo to visit them with
the object of possibly becoming pastor. "
"Then you will leave here ! "
"Yes , 1 expect to return to my homo nt
Morgan park , near Chicago. I have a largo
house there which Is rented to a good ten
ant. "
"So you will remove to that place nnd go
into your former homo ! "
"I will remove to Morgan park in a few
months. But Ivlll not go into my largo
house , for I expect to build a smaller ono and
occupy it. I intend to go to Chicago next
week to direct the erection of this building. "
"What kind of religious work will you en
gage in at Chicago ! "
"I expect to preach every week , more or
less. I will preach for different pastors who
may bo temporarily absent from the city or
help in special work. I my re-engage in
educational worlc. I do not intend to take on
myself the responsibility of a pastorate again
perhaps never. My health , which is gen
erally good , has not been at par lately nnd I
think it best to take heed of these premoni
tory symptoms. "

Death From Dipthcrin.
George Hicks , son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W.
Hicks , died at ' „ ' :30 : o'clock yesterday nt the
family residence , EO'J South Sixth street.
George was ono of the brightest nnd best
boys In the city , and one of the most faithful
of Tuu BKK'S carrier forco. Ho returned
from the Chautauqun grounds on the last day
of the assembly , feeling quite sick , and n few
days afterwards his malady assumed the
i'orm of malignant diphtheria. Ho was a
patient but fearful sufferer and made u bravo
fight for his life , but yesterday ho gave up
the unequal contest and found rest in the
dreamless sleep of death. Ho was a manly
little fellow , loving and beloved by all who
know him , and his death Is n borcavcinent
that is hard to ueur. Ho was born November
4,1875 , and was consequently in his four
teenth year. The funeral services will beheld
held at the residence at 8 o'clock this morn
ing. The body will be burled In Walnut Hill
cemetery.
Willie Smith , the well known llttlo messen
ger boy of tbo Western Union , died nt 1 : ! iO
o'clock yesterday afternoon at the residence
of his mother , 11 ! Benton street. Ton days
ago his little six-year sister wns stricken
with dlptheria. The llttlo fellow kept away
from the house as much as pcmiulc , but
whenever ho could get an opportunity would
go to the door and inquire about tbo little suf
ferer. On Tuesday afternoon ho was taken
sick and tbo disease quickly manifested itself
ns the dreaded unit malignant diptliorla.
For four days ho made ns gallant n tight for
life as was ever mndo , but after four days of
suffering gave It up. He was eleven years
old , mid ono of tlio main supports of his
widowed mother. There were few little boys
in the city thnt were better known or bettor
lilted. Ho was one of the oldest nnd most
trusted of the corps of messenger boys. The
funeral will tuko place from the residence r.t
4UO : this afternoon.

Men who nro locked in jails nnd given noth
ing to do but to plan ways of making themselves -
selves more comfortable or laying schemes
for escape develop u wonderful ingenuity.
An Instance of this occurred in the county
Jail tbo other night. One of the prisoners
wanted a light for his pipe nnd having no
matches , and other prisoners In adjacent cells
being In the same predicament , ho set his
wits to work. Ho took off ono of his stockIngs -
Ings nnd raveling out a portion of the yarn
wound two balls , connected by n string. Ho
then rolled ono of thcso balls along the corridor
rider to the front of n cell over which there
was a gas Jet burning. The prisoner In this
cell could reach the gas jet by means of twistIng -
Ing a long paper lighter. This prisoner fast
ened n bit of paper to the yarn and securing
n light from the gas lighted this piece of
paper. Then the other prisoner pulled along
the string as this prisoner let it out nnd was
in speedy possession of the desired light.
This Invention wns then utilized by other
prisoners in other cells and it worked like n
charm , light being carried quite a distance
by mcnna of bunting paper attached to the
moving string ,

"What do you know about leprosy , doc
tor ! " Tnc Bnn asked n local physician yes
terday afternoon , after a llttlo knot of physi
cians had been discussing tbo case of the
ancient disease that has been reported In
Shelby county.
"Have just been treating a case of it , nnd
know that it is a mighty nasty thing to have
around. " replied tlio physician.
"Who Is the patient and where is ho now ! "
"His name is Frank Simmons , and until a
your and n half ngo ho was a driver for
Wheeler & Herald. Ho la n nephew of
Samuel Desmonds , and for several mouths
prior to the development ot his disease ho
was living with his wife's folks In the coun
try near Crescent City. When I first saw
him he was covered with sculoa from bis neck
to his heel. The scnHu were white and flaky
and ulcerated nt their bases , Ho was emaci
ated , but otherwise his general health seemed
good , and there were no eruptions on
his face. Ho had a wife and four
or live children and wo isolated him com
pletely from them and everybody else. When
my attention was called to the c'aso the man
wiw in a pitiable condition and was suffering
dreadfully from the terrible irritation caused
by tlio eruptions. On the couch where ho
slept wo could gather up each morning half a
dust pan full ot the scales. I studied the case
closely and read up all the authorities upon
the disease , and am satisfied it was as clearly
a developed cnso ot leprosy as wo can over
oxpeet to see in this country. From time im
memorial it has been regarded as an incurable
disease , but I had tbo satisfaction of seeing
that this case yielded to treatment. The
treatment I put him on wns very simple and
it was strictly homoeopathic , I employed only
ascnium iodide in u low penteiicy. After
three mouths' treatment his skin became ns
smooth as It over was , but the livid spots had
not all disappeared. I wns deeply interested
in the case , but I did not get an opportunity
to learn what the final outcome was ,
for my patient got so well that ho
left the country without telling mo where ho
was going. Ho ciuno back n few weeks after
ho left and got his family and took them to
Missouri , ut some piano where his mother
lived. I would have willingly donated his
bill for tbo privilege of learning the complete
result of my treatment. I was moro than sit- :
isllcd with the result ns far as I was able to
follow thorn. I don't claim that I cured tbo
case , but I am satisfied of two things It was
n genuine case of leprosy , and that it yielded
to honiaoHitliic | treatment.
"I am satisfied , also , that tbero is a great
difference in cases of leprosy. Its worst
phases may bo looked for on the sea coasts ,
und tbero it may bo altogether beyond tbo
control of tlio physician , but tlio inland cases
are not so bad and are tractable.
"Whcro was ho exposed ! Ho could not
tell , only that his mother had a similar attack
n few years ngo and was still suffering from
what tbo doctors said was eczema. There was
more humanity than most people think in the
old method of banishing the lepers in bible
times and preventing them living in houses.
The only relief they could get wns in the
night time , when they could go nrotind naked.
Their clothing Irritates them , and when they
could take It oft and wnndor around In the
cool night air they were comfortable. Their
scales protected them from the cold in n great
degree and they were not conscious of nny
suffering from that source. It was almost
impossible for the attendant to keep the bed
clothes on Simmons even in the coldest
weather. "
"No , I don't believe the disease will ever
become a danger in this country unless it
allies Itself with some other complaint nnd
takes n different form. "

KISSKD T1IH WRONG AVOMA.N.
What Came of nn Old Kcllaw's Natural
Mistake at Atlntitlc I'lty.
One morning .a pretty , dainty little
woman , who hail been froliuking with
the waves , had come out and was lying
on the bench , her henrt resting on a little
tlo hillock of white sand , her hnir lloat-
ing tibout in the most charming con
fusion , her ttuuiod fnco upturned to tlio
sky and her eyes closed in dreamy de
light , writes an Atlnntlo City corre
spondent of the Xew York Mill mid Ex
press.
An elderly ui.in , whoso fnco was lighted
with roguish intent , though his Iniir was
silver white , stopped over jauntily and
stooped and fondly kissed her Kim-burned
elieuk. In just nbout unothor half second
end the kind old man wns sent spinning
over the snnd , nnd n big young fellow in
n striped bathing costume , with enor
mous muscles nnd Hashing oycs , wns
standing over him snyiiii ; :
"You're nn old villainl"
"Impudent scoundrel , ' ' cried the old
mnn , scrambling to his foot , "I'll have
the law of you this day or I die for it. "
"You elderly old sinner ! Even your
yours won't ' have you. Uow dare you
take such liberties with u lady ? "
"liberties , sir ? Can't 1 kiss my
daughter ? "
"But you can't kiss my wife. "
"Your wife ? Horrors ! I apologize ; I
apologize , sir. "
And the old man continued to npolo-
gixo for ti full minute. His hight wasn't
good ; he liticl forgotten his glasses ; he
hail mndo n dreadful mistake ; ho was in
a tremendous state of mind altogether ;
his daughter was bathing there some
where. Ah , yes ; hero she Is.
And a charming bit of femininity in
the sumo blue kilhlng clothes nnd bluck
blockings and big * tniw hat , nil dripping
wet , came running up to him crying ,
"Papa , oh , papa ! "
"Hero she is , you see , " wild the old
man , turning to the big young fello-v ,
whoso nngor had nbatcd and who ac
cepted the apologies in a still sort o
wny. His wife was much moro nmitiblo.

through it all , and when she turned U

Ileitmrknhly Skillful Surgery.
A rather remarkable surgical opera
tlon was performed in Washington and
the Indications are thnt it will prove
most successful. A short time ago the
daughter of C. A. Giuochio , a well knowi
railroad man of Marshall , Tex. , was
stricken with nuralysls of the loft arm
which gradually extended to the entire
loft side of hla body. Physicians and
surgeons who wore consulted were
nimble to determine the cause 01
lo provide tii remedy , and n
few days ngo Mr. Glnochio
brought his daughter to an eminent sur
geon in this city. Yesterday nn exam
illation of the patient's condition was
mado. Heglnning at the llttlo linger on
the 16ft hand ono of tlio alTeuted norvcs
was traced to the right sldo of the brail
nnd the goat of the nllllotlou was located
In the shape of n tumor. The presence
of the tumor had not been before sus
pected llnd its pressure upon the brain
had caused the paralysis. The scnli
was cut open , n portion of the skul
lifted and the ttunor nositly removed
The patient withstood the oporatioi
splendidly and rollof from the paralysis
was at once manifest. It is believed
that the patient , who Is still In the hos
pltnl , will recover the use of lior Id
hand and arm in n fo\v \ dnya.

About eight hundred persons had assembled
n ilohanan's ' ball at 'J n. m. , 2M being dele-
rates. All were either farmers or had culti-
ntcd n granger appearance.
F. TJ , Lelghloii , clinlrinan of the county
'cntrnl ' eoinnilttce , called tbo convention to
order.
Mr. Cnuldock moved that a coininittec on
credentials bo appointed. After soiuo dis
cussion it prevailed , and tbo following wcro
chosen : Cruddock , Hull , Lyons aiulMaloney.
iVbout n dozen persons called for Burrows ,
nnd ho eagerly rushed up to the platform and
lellvercd a speech.
Ho said ho was inlchtlly pleased with the
f.tcos ho saw before him. "There has not
.icon , " said bo , "a convention held in this
city this your that equals this one Incliaractor.

i'ho late republican county convention con
sisted of the brick newspaper building on

sent the peoplo. [ Cries of "you bet. " ] It
makes no difference ; with what party your
candidates formerly trained. There Is no
man In this state who fools moro interested
in this movement thnn I. "
A man mimed John Graham was called for.
Ho scored the republican p irty. Called its
state ticket just chosen a frivolous and de
ceitful ono. Ho snid tlio republican party
Imd never made good u pledge in its existence
and thai it never intended to. Ho declared
that if any man did moro for the party thnn
lie that person would have to have moro
nerve and a bettor ehoelt than he.
man named McAllister came forward and
declared that if necessary tbo farmers would
resort "to a revolution of arms. " Ho said
that the republican party had made the
farmers n rnco of slaves and serfs.
Cruddock then reported that nil the town
ships except Olive Hriinch were represent * * ! ) ,
there being 22(5 ( delegates out of tbo 231 called
for.
for.Craddoek
Craddoek then moved that P. L. Lclghton
bo temporary chairman and A. W. Crane tem
porary secretary.
On motion it was decided that no resolu
tions bo adopted , but that the delegates sub
scribe to the call for thoindepcndciit people's
convention us their declaration of faith.
On motion of Cnuldock tbo temporary
orgnnlziitlon was made permanent.
James Craddoek was chosen assistant sec
retary.
At this junctu.ro it was discovered that
every farmer had n democrat nt his elbow.
A. republican alliance man raised a howl about
this and the delegates were invited to come
forward and occupy seats by themselves.
Nominations of candidates wcro ilicn de
clared in order.
J. W. Sherwood , a telegrapher employed
by the 'Western Union , made a. neat speech ,
placing J. M. Thompson , secretary of the
alliance , in nomination for senator from the
city , There being no other candidate Jlr ,
Thompson's nomination wns made unani
mous. A careful inquiry failed to reveal
Thompson's former political faith.
Thompson is a prohibitionist.
.lake AVolfc presented tbo nnino of O. Hull ,
formerly n prominent democrat , us n candi
date for senator.
L. Beeson , u fonnor democrat nominated
\Villlatn Foster of Ceatervillo for senator.
Frank Drophy presented the name of James
G.Taylor of Ncnialm.
Jake Wolfe then nroso and said that his
democratic friend Hull wanted to withdraw ,
as ho wanted a unanimous nomination or
nothing.
The request to withdraw was granted.
The lirst ballot resulted :
IA > s to r. T1
Taylor 16-1
Total 22r.
Taylor was declared the nominee.
Ellas linker and William S. Dcmarco of tlio
1'Mfth ward were unanimously chosen as can
didates for the legislature from the city.
Baker is a prohibitionist. Domarco a repub
lican.
There were apparently no end of candi
dates from the country , the following being
placed in nomination.
W. .1. MeAlister , Stevens Creek : J. A.
McNabh , Yankee Hill : S. S. Crinith , Cen-
tervillo ; . ! . R Dale , Mill ; J. V. EgRcr , Kal-
tillo ; J. W. ICeever , fJcnton ; William Brink ,
West Lincoln ; H. M. Keeves. Elk ; S , T.
\Vhlttnker , West Oak.
On the third ballot J. F. Dale was declared

A motion was then made by some enthusi
ast to nominate McAllstor by acclamation ,
but it was sat down on with a yell.
J. P. Eggcr was then chosen by ballot. W.
J. MeAlister wns the third nominee for legis
lative honors. Eggcr and McAlister are
both sa'd ' to bo republicans.
The period of nominations for county com
missioners was a long and tedious one on ac
count of the lucK of administrative ability on
the part of the chairman. The following
nominations were eventually made :
L. H. Gllllck , D. A. Stocking , Aueust
Anderson.
J1KMOCKATIC CONVENTION" .
The few democrats left from the great moss
working the peojilo'H convention nt Dohnmm's

taken tlio democrats would bo victorious in
November.
William MoLaughlln was made temporary
chairman and Will Love secretary. A. J.
Sawyer , John MeMaiilgal and W. II , Moon-
son were chosen m u cotnmittco on cre
dentials.
It was discovered that several wards nnd
prccints were not represented nnd demo
crats present from those places were- Invited
to act.
The temporary organization was made per
manent.
Mr. Calboun made a sprcnd-eaglo speech
nnd moved that If. K. Huydon , candidate for
state treasurer , bo authorized to name tbo
delegates to the state convention , and W. J.
Ilryan , candidate for congress , name the
delegates to the congressional convention.
Tills raised u war of words , Several mo
tions were made to lay on the table.
Although not in order , Mr. Sawyer arose and
fiercely attacked Calhoun's motion. Ho
strongly denounced the policy of nllovvlm , '
miy two men to mime delegates to any con
vention. This was not democratic.
HA l < 5ug wrangle followed , in which Calhoun
mid Cardiff favored the motion , nnd Cassaduy
opposed it. Ilryan iutimated that ho could
not bo pleased bolter than by having an op
portunity to name the congressional dele
gates , is ho was tin-ious to go to Washing
ton. Then pandemonium reigned. Mr.
Urynn had spoiled his own game , and anald
confusion the motion wns withdrawn.
Air , Sawyer thou attempted to spring a set
speech , nnd the effort mndo to squelch him
proved Ineffectual. Ills crowning period was
thnt tlio farmer is too uivon to grow.
Sawyer moved thnt the delegates pro : cod
to ballot for delegates to the slnto conven
tion.

Then followed another wr.iuglo over the
method of soloi'tiii ? ddcgntcs , nnd n roeess
was taken to fix things up.Vhcn the con
vention was again called to order another

soiuo claiming that they had been disfran
chised. Tlio Second ward refused to vote.

MvsTnitious iimri'iumxcn.
Mr. Gcorga B. Skinner , the well known
proprietor of a livery barn on Twelfth near I'

carload of blooded horses which ho intended

concerning his good luck In selling Ids entire
carload of horses. Ho said that ho was going
as far as Buffalo , but after a day's sojourn
there would return immediately. On reach
ing Buffalo ho wrote to his friends hero
concerning his arrival. This was over
two weeks ago. Slnco then nothing has
