The grand ju y of Clarke at its pres
out sitting recommended that its
proceedings be published in Iho
Banner and Chrouicle, and each
paper be allowed S2O. There seems
to he nothing lilfle about the grand
jury ®f Clarke. They seem to ap
preciate and know the value of
county organs. It is right. What
is any county without a newspapor?

There are four hundred cases of
Typhoid fever in Johnstown, Penn.
There are a good many cases of em

and Homer will be desolate and, as
a general indication of this, on last
Tuesday a wild turkey lit dewn in
the street on the north side of the
public square, and took a view ot
die situation, after which it Hew
away unmolested to report its ob

We'l it may be lhal some of the
citizens of Homer wiil leave here

on by some as a very small place.
All that is needed here to make
money, is capital, energy and per
severance. There are mere chair

Kansas City, Oct. 28. —.Mayor Dv
eiqort slapped Congressman Tarsney
full in the lace ibis afternoon, and ia
return very neaily received a tbot
from ibe congressman's revolver. It
was all tr acconut of the entertain
ment of the Pan American tourists,

or bad vetoed au ordinance of the city
council appropriating 1,000 to be ex
pended for entertaining: the guests.
The council over rods the veto and the
mayor ordered the treasurer not to re
cogn-Zi drafts for the propose. At a
meeting of the Commercial club to
night, Congresrruan Tarsney referred
in terms not very comp’iaientary to
the mayor’s action. Mayor Daven
port started to leave the room, and on
doiug so said:
‘lf I can help it, not a penny of
the city’s money will be used illegal
ly, but I will contribute from my own
pocket us much as Mr. Tarsney or any
other man fer the entertainment of the
delegates.”’
Mr. Tarsney replied: “I do not
caie to n sort to pothouse methods.”
This enraged Mr. Da v enport, aud in
an angry tone he aeiied the congress
man to repeat the statement. Mr.
Tarsiiey repeated the statement, and
the mayor dealt him a resounding slap
full in the face. Mr. Tarsney reach
ed iDto his hip pocket to draw his re
volver, but his friends prevented him
from using the weapon.
