jWe don't know in what school the morality of the Journal was learned; most probably in the same one where the art of printing whs learned. It will be morally unable to understand the position of the Tkibunk on such a question, but the public in general will appreciate the ict that we claim only common, everyday honesty when we state that no democrat could insert an article sigued -Republican" in the Tkibunk, and no republio.in could in sert one signed "Democrat." A iwn de plume is the privilege of any writer; forgery is a privilege allowed none in the columns of the Tkibunk. Inasmuch as the only two persons who have ever insinuated that the Tkibunk allowed a democrat to sign a communication. "Republioaa" are- the chairman, 'of the republican county committee and his henchman, the figure head of the Journal, it may seem unnecessary to have noticed if- their interest in creating such an impression is so evident: but it is not always best to let even a fool lie go uncontradicted. BASE BALL.

A very neat game of ball was plavcd at Sport men's Park last Sunday evening between the X. anil the Pittsburg unions. Berg and Davis were iu the points for Weir, and both played a good game, though Davis twice let in a run when he lmd the runner fairly caught and ought to have gotten him out. Berg struck out fifteen men, against ten strike outs by the Pittsburg pitcher. Mike is acquiriug more spend, but was a little wild Sunday.

Tho score stood six to four in favor of the X. The gate receipts were small, but the people had no reason to anticipate so good a game. The attendance will be belter another time. At the close of the game there was a five inning game between the fats and leans. The fats were Crawley, Chuck, Creeley, Samms, Varco, Haskins, Fox, Craycroft and combined weight, 1,697 pounds.

The leans were 1 ranks, Elliott, Livingston, Morrison, Doane, llargiss, Huber, Fleming and combined weight, 1,222 pounds. Franks and llargiss were in the points for the leans; Crawley and Creeley for the fats. The slugging was terrific and the field ing more so. The piincipal points of the game were Chuck's home run, tho fielding of Haskins, Doane and Varco, and Elliott's work at third base. The score stood 26 to 14 in favor of the fats, they not takiug their last innings.

Tho game was a great suocess. COLUMBUSlTEMS. The county corumi.sioners will hold theii regular quarterly meeting, commencing next Mondav. A good many Weirites were in town last week paying taxes. Cro well's new bank building, on the old Iloyt comer, is completed and occupied.

It is finished inside very handsomely in oak, aud is a credit to our town. The new cornico to the court house is just finished, which adds enough to the looks of the building to more than pay for the expense. Tho agricultural association men are working hard on their premium list, and it is expected that they will give us one of the best fairs this fall that we have ever had. Wo hear some Republican in this town speak very disrospaclfuP of Morrison, because he don't put out our postmaster. It hurts them to think that he follows in the footsteps of his predecessors in his civil service ideas.

The way the Courier gives it to Tom Lea is just lovely. Thomas strike back; hut in his poor weak way which ouly brings forth anothor broad-side from tho Courier man. Under its new management the Courier has gone to the front. No indecencies are seen on its pages, a clean, outspoken, honest paper. Tho saddest affair for many a day in this community happened last Thursday in tho accidental killing of Van Bennett jr.

Van aud his brother (Cap) with another boy, named Davis; went to the sand bunk on Brush Creek for a load of sand, taking with them a couple of pistols. After loading the wagon, Ren eir was brought back last Friday from Kansas City, where he had beeu taken to consult surgeons with regard to his case. Dr. Griffith, one of the most eniment men in the profession, was called in. He said at once that he must cut for the ball; that without cutting there was no hope whatever; with it, Ben might have one chance in two hundred of recovery.

Ren promptly told him to cut and give him that chance. But it was thought best to have the operation performed here, and Ben was consequently brought home as above staled. On Sunday morning Dr. I Griffith arrived accompanied by Dr. Perkins, also of Kansas City, and the operation was performed at once in presence of the local physicians.

Anaesthetics could not be used, and the operation took two hours; but Ben bore the torture with a nerve which the surgeons said they never av equalled. The first thing found was a piece of bone the size of a linger joint; them fifteen or twenty small pieces of bone mere splinters all broken off the back bone by the bullet. The bullet was not found, and the surgeons quit cutting for it, having discovered what they considered the trouble, that a piece of bone was pressing against the spiual cord. The latter was not severed. Ben's case is a very serious one yet, but the vurireons say his chances are im proved by the operation.

He has an iron constitution and grit enough for a dozen men; and if the two can pull him through.be will come out all right vet. Remember the Fourth of July. celebration on the DEATH OF WM. THOMPSON. Died: Near Huraeston, Iowa, June 3d, 1889, after an illness of ten days, William Thompson aged 77 years.

He was born in Logan county, Kentucky, anuary 20, 1812. Febuary 23, 1836, he was married to Sarah Dillen. Five sons and four daughters were born to them, "three sons and three daughters of whom are living. This the compan ion of his early manhood died in their home iu Warren county, Illinois, September 6, 1853. March 5, 1854, he married Sarah Oglesby, who had four children by a former marriage, three of whom are alive.

They moved from Warren county to McDonough county, Illinois, where they lived until the spring of 187G when they came to Lucas eounty. Iowa, and from thence to Wayne county in 1869. Four of Brother Thompson's sons were ia the union army, and two of them lost their lives. At the age of 15 years he became a member of the Cnmberlaud Presbyterian church, and was choseu a leader. Afterwards he joined the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he became a class leader.

In September, 1849, he was licensed to exhort by the M. E. church South. When he came to Lucas county, Iowa, tiuding no church privileges he organized a Sunday school which grew into a permanent church. His religious life was genial, constant, and positive.

His pastor will miss his helpful presence in the congregation. For 62 years ho had been a member of Christ's visible church; and we think he is now in the "Church Triumphant which is without fault before the thorne of God." J. II. Haud. The subject of the above notice was the father of W.

B. Thompson of this city. Eleven days after his father's death, his. mother died. He was there during his father's illness, aud has uot yet returned.

He has the sympathy of all in this double bereavement. McCuno republicans propose to have an elect iou to settle their post office fight. Guess they have not heard of the result of the election in Weir and Bax-tor. The Browns lost two of tlio Spring, field games the first by a scoro of 4 1, tho third by 6 to 3. They won tho second by a score of 7 to 1.
