There are two distinct theories presented to the Jury, In one of which Maxwell was pre­ filled as an unfortunate young man, « who In trying to render a signal ser- vice to his friend, was bereaved by a most unexpected accident and was erased by the unbar PJ result. Tbe other was that he was a cold blooded deliberate murderer, wbo took his companion's life for tbe sake of hi* money. Maxwell's reoord and tbe evi­ dence produced at the trial fully satis- Hod the Jury that the latter was the true view of tbe case. MTThe Chicago and Northwestern B.

KuiToa PUUJN>K AI.EK :--We left Kutta Jane 3d at 11:4# a. m.. on the O. 9t P, If. * O. road, in a southwestern!? direction, on a down grade Near the Minnesota river the land being very rough and rocky and poor to all appearances. We soon arrive at I<ake Crystal. Here we make but a very short stop. Another short ride brings us to the Bine Earth river, there being some little tim­ ber here. Now we are on an ocean of prairie, it being quite low and wet, but occasionally a good look ing;farra an«l some very good pieces of corn. The prairie is very large, nothing bat the land and sky, As a gener*l thing the land is low and level. Next we arrive at Heron Lake. SIS miles from Chioag*. Here we change cars and go in nearly a wcatcrnlv direction. Around Heron Luke the land is not good for much but graa ing. We are soon on more elevated and roll­ ing prairie land. Here we find fields of flax oats, barley and wheat, but very few hogs and cattle. Nine miles farther brings us to Dundee, in the northers part of Noole county situated on the C. St P.M. AO.R.R. Twelve mi'ea farther brings us to Avoca. Here thev have a steam tow mill, and the Sisters of Charity have an educational institute Six miles farther bring* us to the enci of our jour­ ney, the beautiful little town of Slayton. Here we step from the cars te the pint form of the depot and a gen2tenian steps up and aske if you are looking for Mr. Morse, he being agent for the Murray Co. I .and Co,) I said no, I am looking for Mr. Tyrrell." He had not seen him that day, bat directed me s> that I could find him. Slay ton has three ch urches, a large hotel the State bank of Slayt jn, a very large brick building, a bteam tow mill, county fir* grounds, a small lake of 64 acres, also several stores and shoo , and a paper called tbe S.ay ton Gazette is also published here. Slayton Is to be the County Seat of Murray county- The land north of town is quite rolling. Bea-, ver creek flows but a short distance from the vi lage. After leaving the village I travel in an easternly direction for IX miles and meet those 1 havo seen before. The land here Is not quite as rolling as aroun < Slayton bat seems to lay good. I could stand and (urn my self around and eount between 30 and 40 houses. The weather is ver^dry at present, the oldest settlers saying they had not seen it so dry for 13 years- Land here is worth ran ts to 912 per «cre, accordiug to location. Those looking for homes would do well to make a visit to this part, as there is a great •uaj acres of good land for aale. Tours, W. P. Prohibition County Convention.

EDITOR PDAINDKALER: -- We were pleaaed to note tbe bappy turn tbe lv? • question of nomination for Coanty A Treasurer took at our recent Rcpubii eao Convention. Boih candidates for "•: the office were good and competent | men; botb were soldiers in tbe great strife to preserve the Union and the 1 liberty of tbe American people; botb are warm peraouai friends, and botb have the confidence and respect of the Bepobllcans of this county. To have waged a political warfare in Conven­ tion between suc'a men would have been cruel and trying to delegates wbo loved them botb and wished to see beth have official position in this coon* ^ ty. A compromise was therefore made ^ between the warm personal friends of Cspt. Win. Stewart and tbe great suf- lerer at Andersonvllle, W. P. Morse, | "by which the former was to receive tho ^ unanimous nomination for Treasurer . at that time and tbe latter to have the nomination for Circuit Clerk two years bence. v This proposition and agreement, en- , t®red into between a few of the lead- \Y-log friends or tbe parties, seemed to { i,; send a thrill of enthusiasm throughout '*1® convention, and cheer upon I a cheer rang through the Court room.-- This compromise was thus heartily en- " dorsed without a formal resolution, f , v and all the delegates we djnbt not, re turned borne rejoicing that the vexed if question had bee i thus justly and ami- oably settled. History bas shown to as that there Is honor in the Republi- - <*n It has always in this coun- try carried out Its pledges, not only . . to the tetter but In tbe spirit, and it bas by so doing raised tbe credit of nation equal if not above that of any v other on tbe face of the globe. Tbe He publicans of McHenry county have never shown themselves behind the ®^®at party in the nation, and wo cao* sot therefore believe they will be re­ ntes la duty two years hence in eleva­ ting the man wbo. In his country's need, shouldered tbe musket and march od to tho front, taking part in tbe tbiokeet of the fight and who after- 1 wards suflered ail tbat human nature could endure In that rebel prison pen of oraelty and torture. Under all theee circumstances we belle?e it would be a cold day for any aiaa to try and undermine Mr. Morse hut tbe offloe of Circuit Clerk of this , , ooanty at our next Republican Conten- ATTENTION ALL!
