rJi‘uesday, September 16th, 1879-
' Battle Flag Day-
Wednesday of this week, if pleasant, Will
see the largest crowd ever gathered in the
streets of Hartford. Every Connecticut
regiment and battery of the late war will be
represented by its surviving veterans. The
colors and battle flags of all will be unfurled
as they are borne to their new and permanent
place of deposit in the new State House.
Patriotism and State pride will receive a new
impetus, and the natural enthusiasm inspired
by the grand occasion, will be beneficial and
lasting. The railroads have generously offered
to convey passengers at half rates, and every
man, woman, and child, and especially every
old veteran should make almost any sacrifice
to be present.

Eucilolz’s Trial.
Probably the most adroit piece of detec—
tive work over illustrated in these parts was
t'lrit worked up by a member of Pinkerton’s
force and developed last week in the Bucholz
trial. The marvelous crcdulity of the pris-
user wild should. thus so completely “give
himself away,” against the reiterated warn-
ings of his counsel, can only be accounted for
on the general theory that by a law of human
*' no, guilt always betrays itself. A con-
rictien cf Bucholz would have been impos—
rihlc but for his own admissions to the de-

of every dollar if the vast amount of money
taken from the murdered man’s body, was
intensely dramatic. It is easy now to See how
and why the “l: lisco” letters were written
the bits of evidence scattered about the
on premises. The revelations put the
sol for the prisoner in a most embarrass-
‘K
' a position, but they will nevertheless from
In-
professional pri.ic, if nothing more, go for—
- 'd and make the best defence of the poor
possible... There can now be but one
plausible theo.'y advanced by them—that
some one else murdered Schulte and Bucholz
robbed the body after death. A rather lame
and impotent argument, and yet it seems to
be the only possible exculpation. Mr. Pin—
kerton informs us that States Attorney
lmstead is entitled to all the credit of plan-
ning the particular mode of detective work,
which has brought such remarkably success-
ful results. It is the proudest feather Olm—
strad has ever won with which to plume his
cap. It is thought the case will be given to
the jury as early as Tuesday evening.

New York Democracy.
Bromley went up to Syracuse to report the
Democratic Convention for the Tribune. He
says there was as lunch difference between
that body and the Republican Convention
whicu nominated Cornell, as between a di-
rector’s meeting and astrcet mob. He dc-
scribcs the physiognomy of the Syracuse
delegates as reminding him of the heads of
those pug dogs cast on crockery and mount
iug canes and umbrella sticks. The Tilden
crowd undertook to distribute printed docu—
ments, forgetting, he says, that one bottle of
whiskey would have been more potent with
such a convention than all the matter that was
ever printed. As the whole thing broke up
in a disgraceful row,and Tildcn’s man Robin-
son was nominated by one faction, and
Kelly himself by another, Bromley has out-
lined the delegates very correctly.

The tragic death in Switzerland, of the

By advertisement in another column it will
be seen that the Westport I’inafore company,
numbering forty voices are to appear Friday
evening, by special invitation, at the Opera
House, South Norwalk, The splendid suc-
cess which attended this company’s three
performances at National Hall, Westport,
where not less than 1,800 persons listened, is
a guarantee that the people of Norwalk have
a treat in store for them. Westport’s Sir
Joseph Porter, Josephine, Dick Dcadeye and
Ralph are~eharacters equal to the best, and
are so spoken of by opera goers who have
seen their acting and heard them sing. The
choruses are full and strong, and the general
make up of the rank and file first—class. Of
course the people are amateurs, and as such
should be judged, but it will have to be ad—
mitted after comparison that some profes—
sionals must take a back seat. Manager Ten

for the piece will be set today, Tuesday, and

Capt. Thorpe, of the Adelphi, is spoken of

scveral times keep the boat to the dock after
the ropes had been thrown over, in order to
give delayed passengers a chance to jump on
board, and one day last week, at 33d street,
he managed to thus accommodate six passen-
gers who rode up town in a belated car.
Passengers should remember, however, that
the boat leaves promptly on time, and should
allow a few minutes at least, for possible de—
lays in reaching the wharf by car.

To gratify'an inquircr, the Cincinnati E1:—
quirer essays to define the word “boom” as
used politically. It says: “It Is a western—
ism. In the: Spring and Fall, western rivers
are subject to frequent freshets, and rose With
a swelling and boiling motion that 13 called
‘booming‘ by steamboat men. Hence when
a man’s or party’s chances are thought to be
improving or increasing; they are said to be
‘booming’ and everything that enhances the
chances is called a‘boom.’ ”
That is all the Enquirer man knows about
it. Everybody east knows that the “boom”
is a powerful thing that “sweeps the deck”
of all obstructions, and no man Can hold his
head up against it. So politically when a
thing “booms” everything else must give way
or go overboard. Try again, Mr. Enquirer.
The Trot and Track. .
There was a crowd of lovers of the horse
to witness the test of E. A. Woodward’s
colt in a mile trial. She made it under
rather unfavorable circumstances in 2 26%.
She is undoubtedly the most promising young
horse in this section (of the state, and Mr.
Woodward has refused an offer of $3,500
for her. _ _
The inauguration of the new track by the'
“Fairfield Gentlemen’s Driving Association,”
drew together a large crowd and the interest
in the trot and brushes seemed to have been
well maintained throughout. Experienced
turf men say that Mr. Cram has constructed
the fastest half—mile track in the country.
It seems to please all contestants at any rate,
and the spurts of speed exhibited thereo n are
wonderfully amusing to behold. We shall
look for a great revival of speed among the
quiet‘dobbins of Norwalk and vicinity from

A SENSATION IN COURT. f
/
_———- ,
The prisoner a thief if mt a Murderer.
The Superior Court, at‘ Bridgeport, came
in on Tuesday morning last, with Chief J us-
tice Park and Judge Sanford on the bench.
The case of Bucholz came on at Once, and
after considerable challenging the following
jury was finally empaunelled :—D. S. Thorp,

Hiram St. John, Wilton, Chester II. Webb,

After the hearing of the witnesses who had
prcvi sly testified at South Norwalk, before
thc'cyoncr’s jury, and with which our road—
ers arc already familiar, Mr. Olmstead intro —
duced a witness who caused a decided sensa—
tion and apparently sealed the doom Of Buch-
olz. It was a detective, who had passed
two months in jail on a made up charge, and
had won the confidence of Bucholz, and who
now proceeded in the coolest and most, in-
different rnanncr possible, to testify to all he
had learned from the prisoner. as follows :—
'Erncst Stark a Philadelphia detective em-
ployed by Pinkerton, and placed by him In
the Bridgeport jail, was put on the stand.
Bucholz had talked with him about the
Schulte murder. The first time he spoke
with Bucholz was in the cell of the Hall
man, in the county jail. The next time they
spoke Bucholz visited his (Stark‘s) cell to
borrow a mall stove. About three weeks
after he rst met him they talked of the mur-
der. Bucholz described the occurrence as
he always had done, and said that he recog-
nized one of the men who attacked him
(Bucholz) as having a black beard and soft
black hat. In another conversation Bucholz
said that he never said that he got money
from his sister, . and did not know how_ the
report got about. He never had received
money from her. His manner wasgenerally
nervous. On one day, when walking. In the
hall, Stark complained of being imprisoned,
and said he would give $200 if he could get
bail. Bucholz said that he would be glad
to make that $200, and he would instruct
Mr. Bollmann, his counsel toifurnish wrt-
mess with $500, and wanted witness to help
him, when he (witness) got outside. Bucholz
offered him $200, if he would go to South
Norwalk and see Paul I-Icrscher. Bucholz
thought Herscher might be bought and sent
away. Bucholz introduced him (Stark)
to Mr. Bollmann, and he (Stark) retained Mr.
Bollmann as counsel. Bucholz said that he
had hoped that Schulte would take him to
Germany and make him overseer of his es -
tate there, and that he (Bucholz) intended
to get so into Schulte’s good graces that he
would leave him $70,000. One day Buc—
holz was very despondent. Witness cheered
him and told him he musn’t break down
now after keeping up and being cheerful so
long. Bucholz said that that cheerfulness
was all put on. But he said that his con—
science did not trouble him. One day when
State Attorney Olmstead called at the jail
and saw witness, Bucholz seemed very
much alarmed and agitated, and Wanted to
know what Olmstead wanted of him (wit-
ness). Witness quieted him. Another
time Bucholz said that he’d give $5000 if he
(Bucholz) was out for only one night. He
would go to Schulte’s gold mine, and “lift
Schulte’s treasure.” If. he could get out for
six hours, he could get all the money they
would want. He would then come back,
for he couldn’t endure the notion of being
followed by detectives. Witness said that
it was a shame that so much money was
hidden and they in prison. Then ”Bucholz
said that he would tell the secret of where
Schulte’s money was. It was nearly all
1,000—mark notes. He (Bucholz) said that
one night he discovered Schulte by a hole
in the floor of his room. Schulte tried to
hide it, but could not. The hole was be-
tween the windows, and there Schulte had
fixed a trap door, held by a spring. Under
that door, Bucholz said, a tin box would be
found with $60,000 in it. Bucholz after—
ward said that he told him (witness) the
secret so that if (Bucholz) got a life sentence
witness could have the money. Bucholz
said that all the money was marked. One day
he made marks on a paper and said :
“If Olmstead saw these figures he‘d know
what they were.”
Witness asked if they were connected with
the money Herscher had. He said : . '
“Oh, no. That money is all right. I got
that from Schulte on the night before. 'He
took it from his vest pocket and gave it to
me.”
W'itness got out of jail in May, and went
to the Warings’ house. He came back to
Bucholz, and said that they talked of mov-
ing. Bucholz looked frightened, and said
that they must not move. Then he hesitated
and finally said: "I hope you wont betray
me. One of the pocketbooks is in the barn.”
He made a sketch describing where it was in
the barn.
Witness identified a paper as the sketch
made by Bucholz. It was a piece of paper
torn from a dictionary. Bucholz said the
pocketbook was in the first stall, entering the
barn from the house, under the floor. He
didn’t know how much money was in the
book, but it had enough money to pay his
lawyers. Bucholz said that at first he secre-
ted the pocketbook under the straw, but on
Sunday morning he went to the barn, and
the straw had been stirred. He was stunned
and petrified at first, but on looking he found
the book, and it was like a beam of sunshine.
Then he took out some $50 and $100 notes,
and hid the book. . Witness told him he was
foolish to spend the money so soon after the
murder. Bucholz said he knew it, but that
he didn't know that the money was marked.
Stark further testified that on the 26th of
May he went to South Norwalk with John
Curtin, another detective. and that they went
to the Schulte farm, and Stark went into the
barn while Curtin waited in the field and
watched. Stark went to the stall" indicated.
and under the floor, in a hole, .found the
pocketbook, and then joined Curtin. They
put the money into an envelope, sealed it,
and went to New York. There the German
Consul General Schumaker counted the con—
tents of the pocketbook. There were $4,737
in it. All the bills were marked. Stark then
went back to Bucholz and told him that he
had found the pocketbook, but had not been
able to take the ink marks out. He paid
Bucholz $350 that he (witness) claimed to
have borrowed. This was to send Mr. Bell—
menu to Germany. Mr. Bollmann was there
at the time, and as witness counted out the
money, said : . .
“There are none of these bills on the list.”
“What list ?" the witness inquired.
Bollmann and Bucholz exchanged looks,
but did not say What list they meant. Bu—
cholz gave him (witness) a due bill for 1,500
marks. Two weeks ago Mr. Bollmanu came
back from Germany and gave Witness a. check
on a New Haven bank for $275, saying that
Bucholz’s friends had sent him money, and
Bucholz gave witness a new due bill for $100.
After witness had found the first pocket
book he told Bucholz that there was a recei-
ver, and that the Schulte property was to be
sold, and Witness thought that the buyer
would purchase the property on speculation,
With a view to search for the hidden money.
Then Bucholz said that the other pocketbook
must be got. That was also in the barn, he
said, and drew a diagram to assist in finding
It. Then they talked about where to throw
the empty pocketbooks,and Bucholz suggest-
ed a place where tramps were known to
change their clothes. . He also suggested that
a long-handled axe be thrown there to divert
suspicion. Stark suggested the burying of
Old and blood-sprinkled clothes near the spot
where they should leave the axe and pocket
books. Bucholz said that he would collect
blood in a bottle for the purpose of sprink~
ling the axe and the clothes; for his nose
bled easily. It was necessary, Bucholz said,
to have human blood, and it was a pity that
they couldn’t get human brains to put on the
axe. He said that if the witness betrayed
him and testified against him, he (Bucholz)
would kill himself.
Every eye in the court room turned to the
prisoner. Two stout men sat in the box with
him, watching his every movement. He
hardly stirred, and his eyes dropped before
the gaze of the spectators.
Stark went on with his revelations. In jail
he was known as Ed Summers. At one time
Bucholz suspected that he was a detective,
and said:
“If you are a detective, you could settle me
now.” Again he said that nothing but theft
could be proved against him, and that he
would return part of the money to’ the
authorities. Going back to the time when he
(witness) told Bucholz that he had been care-
less with the money, witness said that Bu—
cholz answered: “Oh, God ; oh God; oh,
God; how careless I have been!” Bucholz
burn on the night of the murder.
A second time Stark went to the barn in
South Norwalk with Robert A. Pinkerton
and Mr. Smecker, an assistant from the Ger-
man Consul General’s office. They went
between 11 and 12 oIclock at night. The
witness dug around the stone indicated for
nearly an hour without success, and at length
found some pieces of gold. There were
seven pieces—three twenty mark pieces .nnd
four ten mark pieces,1 had a hole In it. Then
he found the pocketbook, which was very
mouldy. It was about 1 o'clock when they
finished their search In the barn. They
walked to Stamford, and, taking a train for
New York, went to the Windsor Hotel,
.1 09¢ I‘m-11m ‘l‘:|.-’I‘4‘
said that he put the pocketbooks into the.
ore the German Consul, was boarding.
he Consul counted the money. There Were
,eo4,ooo marks, over $50,000- All the money
"was in 1,000 mark notes. This was in addi-
tion to the 100 marks in gold which they had
found. There were also in the pocketbook,
cards,letters and papers belonging to Schulte.
One of the papers was Schulte’s passport.
When witness told Bucholz of the gold
piece with the hole in it, Bucholz said he
meant to throw it away, for it was the piece
which the German banker in New York gave
Schulte on the-day of his . murder telling
Schulte that .it would make a good charm on
his watch chain.
The production of this witness
surprise to the defence. It seemed to largely
destroy their faith in their man. State At—
torney Olmstead says that there is much
more yet to come out. A very close watch
is kept over Bucholz.
The history of the transaction not yet
given in court, shows that in pursuance of
Pinkerton’s plan, Stark, under the name of
Ed Sommers, was arrested on.MarclI 8th,
charged with attempting to obtaIn a money
package from Adams Express on a forged
order. He was thus in jail a little over two
months before released on ball. The total
amount now recovered was over $75,000,and
is now on deposit in the Mercantile Safe
Deposit Company, New York, subject to the
order of the German Consul General.
' FRIDAY. ‘
The detective began and told how be had
asked $10,000 commission from Bucholz for
sgrvices, and told him (Bucholz) that he
would have $20,000, which would be enough
for him. Recently one day Bucholz told the
witness that he had been reading Sebiller’s
Robbers, and had grown so excited over the
exploits of “Carl Moore” that he had drawn.
a knife and planned it into his right breast,
but luckily it had struck a. rib and done no
harm. 110 said that should he ever have oc—
casion to commit suicide he believed that he
would have astcady band. Bucholz said that
ho had not been under the tree where Schul-
te’s watch was found. He described the
timepiece, however. mentioning that it bore
something scratched inside, which scratches
Schulte had made, he thought. The witness
had the watch so closely described that he
was able to identify Schulte’s watch in the
court as the one mentioned. After giving a
verbal description of the watch, which was
exceedingly minute, Bucholz wrote one, and
wanted the witness to procure one as near
like Schulto’s as possible.
Witness had a talk with Bucholz about the
clothes that he wore on the night of the mur-
der and which were in possession of the State,
and said that there was blood on both the shirt
and lappel of his coat, but that the blood
came from the wound on his face. Witness
said, “Oh, that’s too thin,” and added, “why
didn’t you cut a gash clear through your
cheek ?" This startled Bucholz, who looked
embarrassed,and then tried to laugh the mat—
ter off is best he could.
Witness said. that the accused wanted him
to go to Germany and send some anonymous
letters to this country, accusing some one else
of the murder. Witness told him the idea
was impracticable,as it would seem as though
the letters came from Mr. Bollmam, and he
had better have the letters come from some
place in this country, San Francisco or else-
where. This talk about the letter came after
the conversation had been had. about the
placing of pocketbooks, an axe and bloody
clothing in some place where it might be
found, so that suspicion would be diverted
from him. Bucholz’s plan was to have an
anonymous letter sent to Bollmann or Olm—
stead. telling where these things were hid-
den and have them discover them,and thus put
the State off the right track. Bucholz want-
ed witness to go to San Francisco, but he re-
fused to do so on account of the expense, and
said that he would write the letters and send
them to San Francisco to a friend to have him
mail them East, which would answer all pur-
poses and save expense. Bucholz gave I. de—
scription of the spot between the scene of the
murder and Five Mile River, where ~ he
thought it best to secrete the evidence of the
murder,also drawing a diagram of the locality.
All these plans being arranged, witness was
instructed to send the letter to Mr. Bollmann
first, and several days in advance of that sent
to Mr. Olmstead, as, if Olmstead received his
first, he might get the evidence and not give
it up. Letters were accordingly composed
and sent as Bucholz had advised, witness
composintr and printing the letter in a dis-
guised bird. These letters were copies of the
one which the papers printed a couple of
weeks ago. After this had all been done,
witness asked Bucholz if Sammy Waring
could prove an alibi on the night of the mur-
der, and Bucholz said he was certain that he
would be able to do so, witness telling Bu-
cholz it wouldn’t do to throw suspicion on
him. The letter from San Francisco to State
Attorney Olmstead was produced in court
and identified by witness as one that he wrote
and had mailed East from San Francisco.
Bucholz had told witness that San Francisco
was a good place to send the letter from be—
cause one Of the boarders in the Sonnc Hotel
who heard him say to Grunewald that if he
(Bucholz) was in his (Grunewald’s) place, he
should take Schulte’s coat with the money
and get out of the way with it. A few days
after the receipt of the anonymous letter; he
went to the spot indicated in the letter and
dug it up, but of course found nothing had
been buried there.
Witness once said to Bucholz it was very
fortunate for him that there was no more
blood on his clothing. Bucholz was consider-
ably confused at that remark, and said to
witness, “I hope you don’t think that I am
guilty of killinp poor old man like Schulte,
one with whom I expected to live always. I
would as soon think of killing my own fa-
ther.” Then the conversation was dropped.
When talking about the burial of the
Schulte treasure Bucholz at first said that
Schulte buried the money, but afterward ac-
knowledged that be buried the pocketbook
first found. He insisted, however, that
Schulte buried the pocketbook last found,
but one day witness said to him : “You were
very careless to bury the money- where you
did, where it will rot and be destroyed in a
short time.” Bucholz said : “Yes, I—that
is, Schulte was very careless.” Witness said
“Well that’s all right, I know all about that,
so never mind; but you should have planned
better in the beginning.” Bucholz said, “Well
I never expected to be in jail and hoped to be
where I could get at the buried treasure when
I wished to do so, without having any trouble
at all.” At one time Bucholz wanted witness
to “fix” the jurymcn, or buy them up, to
which witness objected to as impracticable.
Bucholz also wanted Grunewald got out of
the country. He once, he told witness, came
very near telling the lawyers about the bid——
den money and where it was, but was glad
he did not, as he presumed the lawyers’ fees
would have eaten it all up. The wounds on
Schulte‘s head, Bucholz said,were made with
an axe, such 9. one'as Bucholz wanted witness
to buy and bury where it might be discovered,
Bucholz at one time told. witness if he should
abuse his confidence and testify against him
he would seize a chair and try to kill him
with it, in the court room. This was after a
dream Bucholz had, which much disturbed
him, in which he saw himself on trial, with
his case nearly concluded, when State Attor.
Olmstead produced an effect as if a bombshell
had been thrown, by proclaiming that he had.
yet one more witness and who called Stark.
The cross—examining followed, during
‘which it came out that the witness suggest-
ed the burial of the axe, pocketbooks and
clothing, and that General Smith and Mr.
Bellmann, counsel for Bucholz, had both
warned Buchoh that Sommers was a detec~
live. It also came out' that. Bucholz had
told witness that since the murder an uncle
of his had died in Germany and. left him
quite a fortune. On the strength of this
story witness offered to lend $350 to Bucholz
and did lend. it to him. When the money
was handed to Bucholz, Mr. Bollmann
examined the bills and said, “Why, these are
not on the list,” adding, “I hope this is none
of Schulte’s money; if it is I don’t want to
handle it.” Witness assured them that it
not Schulte’s and asked them, “What do you
mean by that list ?” No reply was made,
though Bucholz and Bollmann exchanged
looks with one another in a mysterious man-
her.
In the afternoon the cross-examination was
suspended that Mr. Bischofl, the New York
banker, might be heard. and excused. He
ehowed the court the small pocketbook (found
In the barn) and its contents, $4,737, all be-
Ing recognized by Stark as correct. ,Then
the second package was shown, containing
the second pocketbook found in the ‘Waring
barn and the money that was found in -it,' 7
gold pieces, 100 marks and 204,000 marks.
Witness then testified to giving Schulte U. S.
money for these 500-mark bills,giving $352.50
In exchange. Subsequently be exchanged
gold mark pieces to the value of 100 marks
for a bill. There were three twenty-mark
pieces and four ten-mark pieces. Of these,
one of the ten-mark pieces was identified by
witness because of a hole in it, be having
told Schulte it would do for an adornment
for his watch chain.
Later. Henry Bischofl’, Berbardt Patjer,
Paul Sebammaeck, Frank J uste, John Curtin
and R. A. Pinkerton, superintendent of the
detective agency, testified. Bisehoff testified
as to money transactions with Schulte,Patjer
as to money brought to court from the Consul
General, Schammaeek as to helping find the
treasure in the barn,~and Pinkerton as to as—
sIsting in looking for the first pocketbook in
the barn. -
Monday’s session of the trial was devoted
mainly to a filling in of chineks of testimony,
and no important disclosures were made.
Mr. Pinkerton testified that neither he or his
men were interested in the success of their
detective schemes, but were paid )1 per diem
only in either event. Bucholz looked much
more cheerful than on Friday.’ Stark was
also questioned as to some minor matters, as
were also Paul Herscher, Dr, Bardee. Geo. C.
Stillson, Dr. Burke, .11., Wm. A. Curtis,
Constable Dayton, S. Newman, F. A. Tones.
was a total
Several Germans were called to give the
proper english pronunciation of Schulte’s
name. Mr. Berger was quite closely cross—
examined by Gen. Smith, to the-great amuse-
ment of the crowded court room. It is con-
ceded that General Smith has thus far con—
ducted his cross-examinations in aid of his
unfortunate client with masterly ability.

4 That School Tax.
The commotion as to the irregular appoint-
ment of a collector of the Over River School
Tax, does not abate in the least. We have
been at especial pains to ascertain the exact
facts in the case. Briefly, the history is this:
At the regularly called school meeting, the
school committee and collector were duly
elected. The meeting adjourned without
fixing any rate of compensation for the col-
lection of the tax laid. Mr. Johnson the
collector duly elected, stated to one of the
three members of the committee informally,
as he says, that he wanted three per cent.
for collecting. He claims his proposition
was never accepted or rejected by the com—
mittee, nor was ever a tender of any sum
made to him by the committee, and that he
has been and is ready to qualify and proceed
with the duties to which the same meeting
selected him, that elected the committee.
Mr. Edward 0. Keeler of the committee,
says he had no part in the affair, and gave
his approval of the thrusting out of Mr.
Johnson, only upon the statements of another
committeeman, who assured him that the
action would be proper and legal. Mr Le-
Grand Jackson, another member of the com—
mittee, admits the statement of Johnson, to
be true substantially, but claims that as
Johnson had said he didn‘t want to collect
the tax for less than three per cent. and there
was an offer from an outside party to collect
it for one, he felt he was acting for the best
interests of the district in giving it to the
lowest bidder, he also being assured by their
co-committceman aforesaid, that they had a
legal right to interpret Johnson's dictation of
a price higher than another was willing to
assume the office for, as a declination on his
part to serve. This is the pivotal point of
the controversy. Large numbers of worthy
tax payers in the district, who have no desire
to delay or interrupt the tax collection, as
they assure us, nevertheless insist that the
committee entirely transcended their authori-
ty in creating a new collector in place of the
one regularly chosen at the school meeting.
That the same power that created the com-
mittee, selected the collector and so long as
the officer of their selection did not exact an
unreasonable price, there was no justification
in importing another collector from out of
the district to do the work assigned the oili-
cer of their own election. That in any event
the committee erred in not calling a meeting
of the district and submitting the question to
the tax-payers. That there are worthy"? resi-
dents and tax-payers within the district, out
of employment, who ought to have had an
opportunity to compete in the letting it it
was to have been put out to the lowest bid-
der. That the whole thing was irregularly,
and not publicly enacted.
The above we believe to comprise about all
the arguments seriously advanced. Of course
there is a 'world of idle discussion and more
badinage uttered for no better, purpose than
to exhibit personal dislike, stir up local
strife, or mischievous fun. From our inter-
views with the two members of the commit-
tee named, we know they were only actuated
'terests of the district. They “had no friends
to reward or enemies to punish,” but as busi
ness men acted purely on business principles,
in giving the tax to the one offering to col—
lect it at the least cost to the district, being
assured by their associate of the legal right
so. to do.
It should not disparage Mr. Turk’s partici-
pation in the matter, to state that much of
the irritation expressed as to his selection.
grows out of individual dislike to him per—
sonally. In this matter he has pursued;none
other than an open and honorable course.
He was out of employment, and on the'prin—
ciple that “a half-19315 was better than no
bread," he offered to collect this tax for the
really low rate of one per cent. as he had the
most perfect right to do. If the committee
are in any degree ‘blamable, Mr. Turk in
accepting the trust offered him, is in no
sense in the wrong, and the wiser course is
to pay him the tax as cheerfully and as
promptly as possible, and leave the nice legal
points involved, to be settled by our corner
store debaters.

The Best Rubber Boot.
The “Ninety-five 'per cent. Sterling Rub-
ber Boot,” is advertised in our columns.
There is nothing better for a farmer or out-
door man than a good rubber boot, and.
nothing so exasperating as a bad one. The
“Ninety-five per cent. Rubber Boot," is all
that is claimed for it. It is as nearly pure
rubber as can be made, is made upon honor,
and will outlast any three pairs of other rub-
ber boots. The manufacturers warrant them
for three months, the date of the selling of
each pair being punched in ‘19 top of the
leg. The Incl of these boots is protected
with an iron guard. There are three soles
all made of pure rubber. Farmers, lumber-
men, miners, and all who pass their winters
out of doors, will do well to inform them-
selves as to the merits of this really valuable
article. It is the best, and in the long run,
cheapest rubber boot made.

cases of disease whose attention is also taken up
With acute cases of diseases. There is no time
during the rounds of the family doctor to give
that attention to 1113 chronic patients that the in-
tricate nature 01 the ailment calls for. A Doctor
who is called to perhaps filty cases a day of acute
diseases, and who can barely stay with any one
patient more than ten minutes at each visit, and
then the physician must make a. hurried, and in
man cases an incorrect diagnosis or the case,
not rem want of ability but from want of proper
time to devote to each particular case. How fu-
tile then for any family physician to attempt to
treat chrome complaints, whlch require great
study, perseverance, and plenty of time to apply
the necessary remedies, and only rare medicines
are ofany avail in chronic diseases. How many
millions are there in the world who suffer chronic
pains from Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and kindred
com Iarnts._wbo are pronounced incurable by the:
final y physrclan, but whose sufferings are grad:

Galvamc Baths have proved of the reatest utili-
ty in all cases of chronic diseases. '1' e object is to
give tone to the nervous system, and in this way
improve the powers of nutrition, and is especially
applicable to aged persons, to delicate chloratie
females, exhausted merchants, or literary men,
whose decay of powers is caused by over-taxing
drafts on the vertrcles and convultlons of the brain
and nerve force,whrch Is citen permanent. To
these patients the Galvanic bath exercises a di-

tain diseases of the skin, as Eczema, the local ap-
plication of electricity Is very efficacious. either

study of Animal agnetism, Electricity, Hydro-

with confidence promise a cure in all cases where
the constitution, the foundation, is not utterly dc-
stroyed. Those who are suffering from Consump-
tion, Catarrh, Deafness caused by Catarrh, Pains
