Ed. Advance; My attention
has been called to a short commu.
nication in the Citizen, purporting
to be from this county and signed
44 W." The writer offers a reward
for every Malone man in Jackson
County. As much of a foot as he
evidently isj be bad too much
eensa to sign his name to his prop,
osiiion. I think I know who W.n
l9 and ill am correct in my opin
iou, as to bis Identity, he couldn't
pay one-half or tfca reward oderetli
if it were true that there was but
one Malone man in the county, and
could'ut borrow a dollar for any
other purpose. If Johnston's
friends propose to pay a reward for
every Malone man there is iu this
county, the Captain might as well
begin now to burst the heads out
of his baril.,,
But to. be serious, the effort of
the Citizen's correspondent to
make a false impression in the
other part of the district is the
most disgastiug attempt at deceit
I have yet seen. Major Malone
will get the solid republican vote
of this county, and not a few but
a rerj large number ot good demo
crats. Johnston may get a ma
jority in tbe coanty ba't yoa may rely
upon it will not be more thanhalf
what it was two years ago. (

mQch to blame M- he (the Generai)
for the passage of the Stock Law,
he would agree to give op his hat
and quit the race.
Mr. Pearson at the close of bis
speech, asked if he had not fairly
won the General's bat, horse tail,

a Magistrate, in the June meeting,
and I saw the workings of the stock

the way they put it on the people I
immediately resigned. I am for the
flopdoodle ticket straight, together
with Major Malone, all sayings to

Let the people say at I the ballot

The candidates for the legislature
and county, offices adrfssed the peo-.

aboat one hundred Voters. ' The can

selves in favor of leaving the quea-
tion-of the stock law to the poopie
This '. palpable disposition t& desert
the standard of Ki and the Gin'l,
was handled subsequently with - tell
ing effect by Mr-Pearson." 1
Mr. Wells opened the discussion in
the legislative contest.
IJe made a
very strong and popular speech and
held the close attention of the audi
ence to toe. close. iis aneeaotes
were ezceedinely pleasing and
pointed. ; .
Mr. Guder fallowed Mr. Wells in
his usual speech of much wind and
little force. ' His voice was bad, his
logic worse. His effort was defen
sive rather than offensive, "He labor
ed bard, to get. out of inextricable
difficulties, and sank deeper and
deeper into the mire from the begin
ning to the end. . - I.
Mr. Pearson followed Mr. Gudger
in the strongest speech he has made.
He had not proceeded far before he
was excitedly . interrupted :by Mr.
. f f nnangwerflble wic
w - - - - - , tJ
that Mr. Gudger was the real; daddy
of the motion to adjourn the June
meeting, the true "pource of jail pur
woes.'7, Mr.- iiudger said "if you say
! I advised anybody to make the mo
tion to adjourn you lie," This ' of
course surprised ' Mr. Pearson and
every on present, as he, (Mr. Pear-
Bon had made no such charre except
as a necessary logical inference. Mr.
Pearson, not wishing to break the
thread of his argument, in whjcb the
ested, toek no decisive notice or tms
insult until he had concluded his
speech, at the conclusion of which
he called upon jar. Gudger for a re
traxit, which after a few moments
consideration wag rnae' fully and
explicitly.
Mr. Pearson's speech, as a whole, j
was a masterly effort. He showed
up tbe methods employed to force
the stocklaw upon! the Outside
townships in so clear a light, that
be carried convictfoi tc every
mind. He defied his opponents to
state whether they approved these
methods or hot. If they "did ap
prove them, they virtually ap
proved depriving .the poor man of
his right t vote.rJ.lf their did not
approve fhera, why did they take
fees and go into the- courts as law
yers to sustain them. Tbia part of
his speech was DartieuTarly effec
tive. ' .. -j; '' '
General Jones .made his nsual
speech, defending himself against
the charge of violating pledges,
advocating the advisability of the
stock-law,
The rejoinders were short and
spicy, j
The speakers might have
left the
sitqation asiey fgund it, but for
the fact that Mr. Gudger lost his
temper and with it his judgment,
and with the loss , of his judgment,
the loss ;of - seferal' votes. The
people see clearly that if there is
to' be ( any t trouble sqf a personal
character,, it-will" not come from
Mr. Pearson's . side of the iouse

It Is said that of late bed - clothing has
been taken to Chinatown, in large quanti
ties. Armed with a bamboo stick about
four feet long, which may be readily
lengthened to fifteen or twenty feet by a
telescopic slide, the Mongolian hoodlum
makes his way about dusk to a back or
side window, which has been left open at
the top for ventilation. The pole is stuck
through the window, being stretched out
as it Is Inserted, and by means of a small
hook at the . end bedspreads, blankets,:
sheets, and pillows are pulled through;
the opening. It has sometimes occurred
that bed elothing has thus been removed
while the bed contained . an occupant, who
was sleeping soundly. In the case of an
alarm the pole" Is dropped, and, being on
the outside of the building, the hoodlum
easily makes his escape. San Francisco
