StD NEWS.
Death of Charles II. Wlthlncton at Sac
rminrn to, California.
Only a few days ngo we made note of
the receipt of a letter from Uncle Char
lie Withington in which it was stated
he was in good health and grrally en
joying his visit among his relatives in
California. Judge of our surprise and
pain when the following was received
from his son, Al. Withington, yesterday :
Sacramento, Nov. 7, 1881.
Dkar Friend: 1 have sad news to
tell you. My father, C. II. Withington,
died on the 4th of this month of cholera,
at the residence of bis brother, R. II.
Withington, aged sixty-five years and
eight months. I arrived here in time to
be with him when he died.
This will indeed be sad news to his
hundrcdsoi friends and acquaintances in
this and adjoining counties. Wherever
known. "Uncle Charlie" was beloved for
his good qualities of head and heart.
For nearly thirty years he had been do
ing kind deeds in this part of the state.
His heart was always overflowing with
acts of kindness and charity. Though
used to "roughing it' much of his life
in 1he past his heart was as tender al
most as that of a child. In his twenty
seven years' residence in this county he
had gathered round him the comforts of
a home, and endeared himself to his
neighbors aud friends., There will be
many a sod heart when . this announce
ment is read', and many a tear will come
to the eyes of those who have known his
home life best .
He bad a tear ol pity, and a hand
Atvea as day for charily.': .
In June, 1880, Mr. Withington lost
his wife one- who had been, his com
panion -and help for forty .three years,
and since that time he' has sought relief
from bisoversbaUowiug" grier by trav
eling, visiting friends and relatives in
diflerent parts of the country.
After the sad event which
took from him his companion and best
friend he could not bear . to stay at the
old liotucl Ills' sorrowing could find no
rest He first made a visit of some
months in Michigan and other portions
of the east. Last winter he spent with
his two daughters in Colorado. Early
last summer he arranged his business
matters here and went to California to
stay a year among relatives. Only a few
days ngo a letter informed us he was
thinking of returning early next year,
and that lie anticipated a great deal of
pleasure in again being among bis old
friends at home. - This pleasure was
never to be realized. Death stepped in
and relieved the sorrowing spirit from
further earthly troubles.
. Mr. Withington at the time of bis
death .was the" oldest, settler in Lyon
county, as well as among the oldest in
the state. We believe he was born in
New York, and afterwards removed to
MichigaiijWhen young." In 1837 he was
in business lnHarliugton, lows, and on
December 31 of that year wa married
to Dorinda White. The next year he
was employed in the government ser
vice anion'' the Sac and Fox Indians,
and- was seat to 'what is now Agency
City,';iowa. In 1843 the agency was
moved -to what is bow Des- Moines, in
that state. Mrs. Withington was one of
the first white women to settle at that
point, and Mr. Withington 's son, George
E., who is at the old homestead, was the
first - while - male child lorn at Des
Moines. In 1840 the Indians were
moved to Kunsis and Mr. With
ington came with them.' ' They
settled at the well known Sac
and Fox agency,'' in 'Franklin county.
Here Mr. W. remained until 1851, when
he was appointed U. 8. mail agent for
the old Santa Fe route running from In
dependence, Mo., to Santa Fe, New
Mexico, with headquarters at Council
Grove, where he removed with his fami
ly. He also kept a store there to supply the
Santa Fe and Indian trade. In 1854 he
moved from Council Grove tp Xhe Santa
Fe crossing of OncIlQixlrcd and. Forty
two creek, where he built the home
which has been his abiding place ever
since,.' lie opened. a.jtoru there which
was the first one in Southern Kansas
away from the Indian outfitting poets.
This whole country wss then an unsur-
veyed and unsettled wild. In 1853 and
1850 Mr. Wellington's placo wss head-
quarters for all immigrants for this por
tion of the Neosho valley. They would
come to him for information as to
claims. : With his accustomed whole.
heortedness . and disposition to
serve - all iu need of help
he often left his business for days at a
time and assisted the early pioneers" in
finding such claims as they wanted. Ilis
knowledge of this part of the state was
almost perfect. He was ever a good
friend of the true interests of Lyoncoun,
ty, and a useful citizen, Lfe.diedina
disUnt land, and whore his friends were
deprived of paying the last sod rites of
sepulture, but he is none the less mourn
ed by his family of four children and
multitudes of friends.

Topeka ' Capital :; In the case of the
State vs. Herrington, a homicide case,
tho jury, after being out since Thursday
evening, returned a verdict or acquittal
at 1:30 o'clock. Saturday, and the de
fendant, W. P. ! rterrlngton, was dis
charged." The facts of this case were all
gone over in the Capital at the former
trial of the defendant-at which time the
ury disagreed, and but brief mention is
necessary now. The shooting resulted
over some stock that Herrington went
after and which he found on the farm of
Wesley Ed wards, jthe prosecuting wit
ness in the case. After finding the cow
and, calf," and while starting to. drive
away,' a-tnekc occurred in which Chaa.
Avery was fatally shot by Herrington.
The case created an intense excitement
at Silver Lake at the time, near which
place all the parties resided. Mr. Her-
rington was bound over, and not being
admitted to bail was committed. His
first trial resulted in a disagreement of
the jury, and Mr.- Herrington was bail.
ed out in the sum of $10,000. The last
trial, the one Just ended, resulted In an
acquittal after a trial of two weeks. Mr.
Hei rington is once more a free man and
is congratulated by his friends.

The Methodists have concludedd to
close their services at Jay's hall, and
Mr. Kirby preached his last sermon there
Sunday. It -was one of his best and
most powerful efforts, the subject being
the old and new systems of religion. The
move on the part of the official authori
ties of the church ia made, we are in
formed, on tbe ground of economy. The
members will worship with the other
congregations until tbe fronl room of
the new church is ready for: ooenpancy,
and Mr. Kirby will undoubtedly be
neara irora outer puipiis in tne city, as
we understand he will remain here until
the close of the conference year, March

By reference to tbe report of the city
council proceedings published in an
other column, it will bn seen that the
resignation of Mr. T. Johnson wa ac
cepted at the meeting of the city fathers
last Tuesday, and that J. L. W. Bell was
appointed and confirmed as his succes
sor. . . -
Mr. Johnson, daring his term of offi
cial service, has encountered many per
plexities, and in the discharge
of his duties, in which : he
has been faithful and conscien-
aoiooa, has suffered much unmerited
censure, notably in connection with the
enforcement of the cow ordinance, and
having become thoroughly weary of the
cares of office, steps down and out, and
Mr- Bell assumes the harden which his
predecessor has laid down. That he baa
all the requisites of a fearless, honest
and capable officer of the law will be
conceded by all who know him, and his
appointment will be 'hailed with any
thing but delight by evil doers and such
persons aa seem to be bent on defying
the law in this community."

Mr. Andrew Atchison, principal of the
Kansas Colored Literary and Business
Academy at Dunlap, was in the city yes
terday representing the claims of that
institution. Among the many merits
which he sets forth as attaching to the
school is its cheapness, a contingent fee
of two dollars a term being the entire
charge to students. Good living accom
modations under the care of teachers
can be obtained for $2.50 per week, and
students can board themselves at much
lower rates. The course is thorough and
the academy fits its gradustes for posi
tions as teachers and clerks, and espe
cial attention will be paid to those who
desire to equip themselves for the min
istry. The school is for colored people
only and with the encouragement which
it should receive, will become one of the
most flourishing institutions of learning
in the state.
