Who is He?
Proprietor Stuart would very much
like to know the whereabouts of one
C. H. Shafer, as he calls himself.
Schafer arrived here a few days ago,
aud took up bis stopping place nt the
Stuart. In rather a careless manner
he gave it out that he was a revenue
officer, a detective, and a barkeeper,
naming his business as suited his lis
teners He registeied from Fa
vannab.
Being au attractive man in dress
and appearance, and a good talker, he
made a number of acquaintances.
The only baggage he carried was a
hand satchel. When bia week was up
he informed Mr. Stuart with the air of
a millionaire “that when he (Mr. Stu
art.) wanted any money, ho knew
where to get it.”
Thursday he concluded to try other
parts, and without the formality of
paying bis bpard, Eoiqo 818, left on a
freight train. Friday night he was
heard from through Mr. Dan Bird, of
Monticello, who recognized him by
the description. He was then in Al
bany, under the name oi Newman.
Mr. Stuart weut up to Albany yester
day, but the game had flown, leaving
the Mayo lutcl in the same manner
ns the Stuart. While hi re he received
a package througli the express officq
addressed to Harry ^qn^cjrsoq.
“" for Sheriff.
“Unde Sum, 1 * n correspondent of
the Southwest Gonrgian, says:
“We think that the alliance should
proposo a man to be in the race for
sheriff, and wo will say that M'r. W.
H. Collins is one of the choicest men
of our section, to fill that place. He
doesn’t want to run, but let the alli-
ancemen put him nut nt one#, aud, it
he should be »l^pt{4 h? wVl 'f>B the
plaue as good or better than any one
else. Air- Collins is a good farmer,
and one of the best pitixens our coun
try affords, Lot us work fur him.”
iiftlf iM fh£Tihb alliance will not,
as an alliance, put out any candidates
for county officers. This would be
going into politics, sure enough.
County officers have nothing to do
with making laws; they only oxeent},
them. Mr. Collins ia a good man,
qnd if he wants to run for sheriff, ho
has a perfect right to do so; but he
should go into the primary with other
democrats, not as an alliance candi
date, but ns a democrat. And this is
what Air. Collins will likely do—if he
runs.
4 ^^apgeiJbtricidence,
A young insurance agent, who has
been spending some time in the city,
relates a peculiar coincidence which
happened nt a social gathering horij,
Friday evening. Alter the victors
had arrlycd it \vas suggested to try
the spirits through an ppiptuer me
dium, and a table was produced. Af
ter the “Ghost had walked” for several
minutes, the spirits were asked if any
one from the other world wished to
communicate with the young gentle
man refered to. Almost immediately
the name of a lady who died a week
or two ago in a distant city was spell
ed out. The insurance man was
astonished, for he was certain that no
one in the party knew of his acquain
tance with her. None of the partv
who were present are bolieyera Iq
spiritualism, but all think the coinci
dence a very strange one.
Mr. Rushin Honored.
Mr. A. Q. Aroody passed through
Friday enroute hopje to Boston from
the State Agricultural Society
convention at LaGrange, and the

laws of the Alliance, was elected to
attend the Kansas Alliance State Con

pastoral duties. -
Captain S. T. hpngsbervy, the well

Mrs. Avery, wife of Engineer
Avery, who with her husband oceu
pies what was formerly the Rogers
house on Smith avenue, by her pluck
and promptness, saved that street
from a fire on Friday. During the dav ;
while the meu were away, a blazo
was discovered on the roof of the
house by a small boy. As soon as
Airs. Avery heard the alarm of fire
she mounted the roof of tho house
and with pulling ofi shingles and
fighting tho fire with water, handed
up to her, the blaze was quenched.
But for her prompt measures tho
flames would,in a short time, have been
beyond control. It is a coinoidc-nco
that this makes the second time tho
same house has caught on fire, and on
both occasions the firo has been ex
tinguished by ladies. The other fire
happened while Air. W. H. Rogers
occupied the house.
Well, every one will get a rest on
the force bill, now. Reed, however,
will probably not enjoy the rest—but
the rest of us will.
Disasters coiqe in battalions. The
wires reported three fearlul accidents
yesterday, one near Reading, Pa., one
in C-olorado aad the third in Califor

and running down steep grades. A
number of people were killed in eaeh
accident.
Gordon Will Lead.
A correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle says:
“We have been waiting for Gordon,”
said one of the most prominent busi
ness men of Atlanta “It has been ab.
solutely sickening to watch the course
of the politicians and so-called leaders
towards this sub-treasury bill. With
the exception of Turner and Crisp,
none of the men who have opposed
the bill have had the ability to make
any sort of an impression by what
they said against it. Now, Gordon
comes, and he takes the bold stand he
ought to take. “I would rather lose
forty elections than support that bill,’
he said, and that is the spirit of the
true statesman. Gordon has the abil
ity to make the fight on the sub treas
ury and his action in that speech
makes him the leader i-i such a fight.
And he will have plenty of followers,
let me tell you that. A very great
many people not only outside of the
Alliance but inside it have been wait-
ing for a leader. Now that they have
one, you'll see that they will flock to
his standard."
May Not Run.
Dr. Felton has writter a lottor to
the Atlanta C'enstitutiou, iu which ho
says:
“There Is an explanation necessary
in regard to ray interview with the
Constitution in to day’s paper. Un
less there were unmistakable evidences
that I was tho overwhelming choice
of the democratic party in the seventh
district, I should refuse to become a
candidate for congress. Therefore,
you will please say to your read erg ,
that I have by no means announced
my candidacy for a placp. that will de
pend entirely upon future develop
ments.”
Wo hope Dr. Felton will not run.
Ho has been for years an organized
democrat, aud he should not lend him
self tq an independent movement.
