The Morning Sews will begin the
publication of anew serial story next j
Sunday entitled “The Creole of Glenside.” |
by Mrs. James Hine, of Rome, Ga. The
story depicts, in a graphic and interest
ing way, plantation life and manners.
The characters are portrayed with truth
and fidelity and the interest is maintained
from the beginning to the end. It is well
worth perusal.
Stock in the cotton mills at Natchez.

Away up in New York was so

Now some amateur doctors are an

‘•The Democratic party having retused
to allow me to run its convention and dic
tate its policy, thereiore 1 kick.—B. F.
Butler.” What’s the use of wasting four
or live columns, when four lines will
cover the subject.
We don’t hear so much now about the
business men of the country demanding
the continuance of the Republican party
in power. The Republican party is only
too happy to strike hands with the hood
lums and cutthroats.
The reason Mr. Hendricks’ virtue has
not been impugned even by innuendo is
not very apparent, but it is to be feared
the jingo politicians will try to raise a
hue and cry against him because he is
better than he ought to be.
The winter of Republican discontent is
not being made glorious summer by the
son of Y ork in North Carolina. The old
line Republicans can’t go York for Gov
ernor, and it is said Scales will carry the
State by at least •31,000 majority.
A Republican paper gloats over the
assumption that Gen. Butler does not owe
the Democratic party anything. To judge
by the General’s language and conduct
the conviction is irresistible that he does
owe the Democratic party a most gigantic
grudge.
The city fathers of the towns out West
that are making war against Mother Hub
bard dresses “make no bones” of attend

From the way things are going in
Philadelphia it seems that in the future
when a man, woman or child is missing
it will be unnecessary to wake up the
police and alarm the town—not at least
until the pickling vats of the medical
colleges shall have been carefully ex
am ined.
Louisville has been visited by a colored
tragedian who is said to have rendered
“Shylock” with considerable ability,
though he slightly overdid the character
in some passages. It is a mistake, it
seems, to believe that the man and brother
has no talents except in the direction of
preaching and politics.
Some great crank suggested to the
French Academy <<f Medicine as a pre
ventive of cholera that an immense cano

probably heard of the great iron umbrella

city ol Buenos Ayres last year.
Editor Henry Watterson wa9 quite for
ward in defending Mrs. Blaine against
the unmanly scandals of the guttersnijie
press. Already the Republican papers
are coming to thiuk that H. W. is not
such a guerrilla and kuklux a9 he has
been painted. Beware of flattery. Henry.
Don’t forget your vows to the star-eyed

The Republicans in Indiana appear to
be somewhat rattled. Calkins, thei* - good
looking candidate for Governor, is already
on the defensive. He has been charged
with trying to cheat bis creditors and
with levying blackmail on a Postmistress. '
It is said that he cannot make a square ,
denial to either charge. The Indiana part
of the aggressive Republican campaign
appears to be a failure.
People who have occasion to pass under
the East river bridge. New York, are
greatly troubled by boys on the bridge
spitting on them. The young rascals fill
their mouths with tobacco when they go
to cross the bridge, and take great delight
in deluging whoever may be so unlortu
nate as to be below. Detectives will
probably be employed to hunt down the
guilty parties until the practice is broken
up.
Some of the papers are congratulation
the country that there is no danger of
cholera obtaining a foothold on our shores
this summer. If they can gite assur
ances that the pestilence will not net here
this autumn or winter the country will
feel a great deal better. are never
safe as long as foreign rags are being
imported, no matter whether they are in
bales or on human beings.
The Indianapolis libel case against
Blaine promises to be the leading topic in
the Maine press. The Portland Argus
calls the suit a bit of bluff, and says that
It made the same charges in 1857, and
that it could not get Blaine into court.
The Cress shows that the Argus with
drew the charges and apologized tor mak
ing them at the period mentioned, under
kthe threat of a libel suit. The discussion
lof the libel suit, however, does not have
much influence on the campaign.
The Democratic leaders in New York
havs received replies from 1,700 corre
spondents in different parts of the State.
The strength of the Independent Repub
lican bolters is estimated at not less than
40 000 and may reach sO.OJO. They say
Cleveland will have a majority in the
btate little, if any, short of 100,000, with
all the Republicans and Butlerites can
do against him. The bluff and bluster
about Blaine carrying New York can ex
cite only contempt when the true state of
affairs there is known.
Why Not an AggrtwWe Policy T
The outlook now is that there will be a
war of rates between at least some of the
roads which compose the Southern pool.
There can be but one purpose in the pro
posed withdrawal of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Road from the pool.
The purpose of the road is, doubtless, to
control a much larger share of the trade
of the territory tributary to it than It now
does, and to enjoy the lull benefits of that
which it proposes to control. C nder the
circumstances it is not easy
to see how a rate war can
lie avoided. As far as this city is con
cerned there will be, perhaps, no reason
to regret it if it shall occur. While it is
better, perhaps, for commercial Interests
and railroad shareholders that rates, when
reasonable, should vary as little as pos
sible, yet there are occasions when rate
cutting is productive of benefits. The
proposed withdrawal of the East Tennes
see. Virginia and Georgia from the pool
promises to be one of these occasions, and
Savannah will be the recipient of the
lienefits.
The withdrawal of the East Tennessee.
Virginia and Georgia will force an issue
with the Central at once—an issue which
the C entral ought not to be slow to accept.
Why should it be 6low to accept it,or feel
any apprehension about it whatever?
The position ot the Central is about im
pregnable. It controls the railroad sys
tems of the cotton belts of Geor
gia and Alabama, and by reason
of its freight arrangements with
railroads in other States it has
a strong hold on the carrying business ol
this section of the South. Its tracks,
equipment, depots, and terminal facilities
are equal to those of any road in the coun
try. In connection with its superb sys
tem of roads it has organized
steamship lines. With all of these facili
ties and advantages it is in a position to
regard with comparative indifference any
attempt to wrest from it any part of the
business of its territory.
It certainly has little to fear from the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia,
which makes a long detour, containing
heavy grades, to reach Norfolk, its north
ern terminus.
The thing for the Central to do is to
meet the issue which the East Tennessee.
Virginia and Georgia has made boldly,
and even aggressively. At the first act of
hostility it ought to reduce its rates
on all the lines of its system.
The reduction ought to be so radical
that any attempt at competition would
be practically useless. It would not be
lon.' before the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia would find it very unprofita
ble business hauling cotton to Norfolk at
the rates it would be compelled to accept.
But by such an aggressive policy would
the Central lose anything? Not much—
perhaps it wouldn’t lose anything. It is
probable that its gross receipts would be
largely increased because it would almost
certainly haul a third more cotton during
the cotton season. Where it would gain,
however, would be in proving its abso
lute supremacy in the territory that is
naturally tributary to it. benefits
that would flow from the acKnowledg
ment of that supremacy are worth making
sacrifices for if they should be necessary.
But how would Savannah be benefited?
The increase in the Cential’s business
would be Savannah’s gain. It would not
lie surprising if Savannah’s cotton re
ceipts would reach 1,500,000 bales this
season if the Central should pursue the
policy that we have outlined. We might
not get quite so much next year if the
rates should be restored, but a great
many shippers, having had their atten
tion turned in this direction, would con
tinue to send their cotton here.
Ol course an increase in our cotton re
ceipts would cause an increase in all
branches of the business of the city. Our
merchants would get the trade of the ter
ritory which furnished the additional cot
ton. In lact. taking advantage of the low
freights they could widen out their busi
ness immensely. The Central would
share in this general prosperity which it
created. Its field of operations would be
widened and its influence and power
greatly increased.
There is no good reason why the Cen
tral should ask any favors of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, loaded
down as it is with liabilities, or allow it
to pursue any policy which the Central
does not sanction. A bold, aggressive
policy when the contest begins, is certain
to win a victory for the Central which will
be of incalculable value to it.
Hendricks’ I .otter.
Mr. Hendricks’ letter of acceptance is a
model document. It w ill excite no dis
cussion. Mr. Hendricks says that he ac
cepts the nomination and approves the
platform. What need is there for him to
say more? What else could he say that
would be so satisfactory ? Why should
he write a two-column essay as Logan
did? Mr. Hendricks has a record which
the country knows by heart. It is a
record of which he has reason to feel
proud. The country knows what he will
do if elected. It does not need to be told
by him. He approves the principles
of his party as set forth in the platform.
If he did not he would not, of
course, accept the nomination. hy
should be restate those principles in a
letter accepting the nomination, or sup
plement them, or elaborate them? He
showed wisdom in not doing so, and
Cleveland showed wisdom in not attempt
ing to improve upon the convention’s
work. The letters of acceptance being
all in, or at least all that are expected,
let the campaign music begin, and let us
hear less about scandals and more about
principles.
The Oltl Leader*.
The old leaders of neither the Demo
cratic ikt the Republican party have
taken as yet a very active part in the
campaign. On the Republican side not
a word has been heard from Grant,
Conklin", Don Cameron, Foster and a
dozen others who have played con
spicuous parts in previous Presidential
campaigns. Are they to be brought to
the front later on? Even the voice of
John Sherman has not yet been heard. Is
it his purpose to let the grand old party
be wrecked without extending a helping
hand? Sherman has some reason to feel
aggrieved, but then all the leaders cannot
have a Presidential nomination.
It is probable, that, now Cleveland's
letter of acceptance has made its appear
ance, the canvass in his interest will soon
begin in earnest. The statement that the
old leaders are sulking because a com
paratively new aud unknown man was
chosen tor the standard-bearer has no
foundation in fact. They will take
a hand in campaign work, doubtless,
before long. They are only waiting until
the programme of the campaign is com
pleted.
There seems to be no question* about the
Governor’s decision that it is necessary
to levy the extra tax of one-half mill on
the dollar for the purpose of paying cer
tain bonds falling due. The Attorney
General, in response to the request for his
opinion, stated that the Governor was not
only authorized by law to levy the ad
ditional tax, but that it was his duty to
do so. It had been hoped that the in
crease in the valueof the taxable propertv
of the State would make a levy of the
maximum percentage allowed by law un
necessary. The hope proved to be un
lounded. Probably next year the increase
in the value of the taxable property of the
State will be so great that a levy of the
additional tax will not be necessary.
“For ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain,” the Republican politicians are
peculiar. A story comes from Kansas
that Hon. T. O. Osborne, Minister of the
United States to the Argentine Republic,
who returned home on leave of absence
some months ago to attend to personal
business, has been devoting most of bis
time in fixing things to succeed the
heathen Ingalls in the Senate. He got his
work in very nicely until Ingalls found
out what he was up to, when that worthy
called Secretary Frellnghuysen to his aid
and had Osborne ordered back to his post.
It is supposed Ingalls will now have a
walk over.
The longest pole is said to knock down
the persimmons, but Gen. Butler will find
to his sorrow that the longest letter of ac
ceptance will not reach the Presidency.
M a Bone’s Waning Power.
Mahone does not appear to be as big a
man as he was a few months ago. When
the delegates to the Chicago Convention
were being elected and for considerable
time before that period, he was regarded
as a very important person. It was even
thought probable that if he should secure
the control of the delegation from his State
he would be able to give the nomination to
Mr. Arthur. He made great sacrifices to get
the delegation. He was forced to cease
masquerading as a Readjuster, and to an
nounce himself boldly as a Republican.
That announcement was a blow to his
power in Virginia from which he will
never recover. The Readjusters aban
doned him in great numbers and re
turned to the Democratic party. The
Republicans never liked him, and
hence did not rally around him with
increased enthusiasm because of his pro
fession of Republican faith. The Repub
lican leaders are jealous of him, and will
never acknowledge his leader
ship. Dezendorf and Wickham
feel that they have been slighted
on Mahone’s account when they should
’have been honored, and they will be
happy only when they have driven him
into retirement. Some of the younger
Iteadjusters have remained with Mahone,
but they don’t like being classed as Re
publicans. Riddleberger, the junior Vir
ginia Senator, is said to be feeling his
way back to the Republican party, He
would probably get there very quickly if
Cleveland should be elected President.
He is pretty certain to get there even
tually whether Cleveland is elected or
not.
Mahone is managing the Repub
lican campaign in Virginia.
He is having some trouble with his elec
toral ticket. It doesn’t make much dif
ference, however, whether it is arranged
satisfactorily or not. It hasn’t any
chance whatever of being elected. The
Democrats have Virginia and they are
certain to retain control of it. The elim
ination of Mahone from Virginia politics
will not be regretted. He has never
aimed to advance the interests of the
State or to benefit the people. From the
beginning of his political career his ob
ject has been to advance himself. The
people have no regrets for that sort of a
man when he passes off the stage of
action.
A Passaic {N. J.) lady who keeps
boarders hired anew cook a few
weeks ago, with whom she was delighted.
One night last week she lost the valu
able domestic through an accident which
was both novel and exciting. The mis
tress had occasion to enter the cook’s
room about the retiring hour. There she
saw her cook partially disrobed, but in
stead of having the night garments ap
propriate to her supposed sex she had on
those of a man, in fact, she was a man,
who had disguised himself in order to get
employment. The lady was so surprised
that she screamed and aroused the house,
wuen, of course, the cook was forced to
leave.
If it is true, as is contended, that the tor
pedoes and torpedo boats now being per
fected to run under water will make an
end of the use of great war ships, there is
no sense in the different governments
making so much haste to perfect their
naval armament. The promise of success
in the manufacture and use of torpedoes
is such that it will doubtless pay every
nation to stop spending enormous sums
on old style war vessels and await de
velopments.
Commander Schley has suggested a
puzzle for the geographers. He says the
charts of the Arctic regions and Green
land are all wrong. He says Green
land is laid down 1G miles too far west.
The question for the savants to determine
is whether all former explorers have been
wrong, or whether Commander Schley
used crank-sided instruments in deter
mining the positions of the points he vis
ited.
CL’RHEXT COMMENT.
Hard Licks by Schun.
Washington roti ( Dem.).
Mr. Schurz’s Brooklyn speech is giving the
Blaine press a deal'of hard work, it is
noticeable that the same papers which sneer
at this s|>eech—in two-line paragraphs as a
matter of no consequence—take pains to re
view it in two-column leaders in which the
facts are all very carefully misstated.
Not Entitled to Sympathy.
St. Louis Republican (Pern.).
Blaine is now an indignant victim to the
acts of his friends, and is entitled to no more
-vmpathv than the man who kept a vicious
fog to the annoyance of his neighbors and
was finally bitten"by the brute himself. We
knew a campaign of dirt throwing was una
voidable when Blaine was put at the head of
the Republican ticket.
Wliat Has Been Gained.
Philadelphia Record {/ml.).
By refusing to extend the time for paying
the whiskv tax Congress has only subjected
the distillers to a lifle more expense in c-im
pelling them to send their whisky abroad for
a temporary sojourn. That is all. Had the
proposition’ for tax extension been made in
behalf of any other commodity thus enor
mously taxed its equity would have been
universally recognized. But because the pro
duct in question was whisky the opportunity
for a cheap display of demagogy and cant in
opposing the bill for extending payment of
lax could not be resisted.
Astonishing R?*ults Expected.

There is nothing in the constitution of the
United 'tates, as there was nothing in the
intention of tln> constitution makers, which
requires that the electoral vote of ary State
shall be rendered as a unit. Gen. Butler de
fines a )K)licy for the campaign which will give
full effect to the ballots of his supporters in
every Slate of the Union where the advice is
followed. His plan, in brief, is fusion every
where with the supposed minority, on the
distinct understand! lg that if the fusion
ticket prevails, the electoral vote of the State
shall he divided between Butler and his
allied candidate in that State in the ratio of
their respective votes at the polls. The sug
gestion, in the present condition of parties,

if not astonishing results.

A correspondent writes to an English pa
per: “While lying off Madras in the harbor,
on my way from India, I had my attention
drawn to a white gentleman with brown legs,
on a catamaran. It was explained to me that

had had several narrow escapes until he col
ored the lower part of his body and its ex
tremities, since which he had gone about un

Among the amusements resorted to by the
passengers of the unfortunate Lydian Mon
arch. who were a month at sea, was that of
gathering around the cabin table, each person
with a lump of sugar before him. They put
up a shilling apiece, and he whose sugar was
first attacked hy a llv scoojied the pot. It is
notorious that passengers on ocean steamers
are easily amused, ami a whole shipload ol
people might be entertained by this simple
game of chance if flies were not too scarce.
An ocelot, or puma cat, from Brazil is

ears are black, with a white Bjiot at the base

Considerable comment is devoted by the
electrical journals to a telephone to be used
at sea. It consists of the ordinary appliances
supplemented by a reel from which the cable
is paid out over the stern or side of the boat.
<ne argument advanced in favor of this new
application of the telephone is that it can be
used bv ocean steamships in fogs. A small
boat of launch can be sent ahead a few hun
dred feet and used as a scout to the steamer,
making soundings, and keeping a lookout,
meanwhile telephoning back anything of im
portance to the officer of the deck.
A remarkable prirate act, the Earl of
Devon’s estate bill, was recently introduced
in the House of Commons. It empowers Lord
D. and his son. Lord Courtenay, to sell every
acre of the vast family estate, preserving no
oiber bouse but Powuerbam, and deals with
mortgage debts amounting to $1,250,000. The
bill has "become a necessity through the con-

California in t>* e sixteenth century was
the general natn _. applied to all the region
northwest ot Mexico. It was said to have
originated ln an o jj Spanish romance very
popular m e 0 f Cortez, in which ap
-I*® 'ljfu a character called California, Queen
of the Amazons. The Mexicans told the
Spaniards that most of their gold and precious
stones came from a counts far to the north
west. Cortez, therefore, turned his attention
in that direction, and sent out several expe
ditions to explore the Californias. All these
adventurers returned empty-handed from the
very region where, three centuries after, the
world was startled by the finding of a land of
gold.
There is a little joke told on Mr. Snyder, of
the Cedar Falls ilowai Gazette, which has
created considerable amusement among Re
publicans as well as Democrats. Mr. Snyder
had been reading in his Republican exchanges
that the Irish and Catholics were all going for
Blaine, and as he had always been lifieral in
h s abuse of both these classes of citizens, he
thought it would be a good stroke of policy to
take a vote of the Marshalltown Catholic ex
cursionists who were at Cedar Falls the first
of last week, and thus have the proof positive
that such was the case. The vote was accord
ingly taken on the train as they left. -It stood
lit for Cleveland, 'for Blaine. ‘The result was
discouraging to the missionary of the Gazette,
and that pat>er neglected to publish it.
Rev. J. B. Still, pastor of Hill Street
Methodist Episcopal Church, Baltimore,
preached Sunday night upon the subject:
•■Was Judas Iscariot a c urse or Benefactor?”
Among the points made was that Judas was
liersonally prepared for his particular mis
sion by tiie absence of restraining grace and
the work assigned him as financial agent;
that his exclusion from all religious services
qualified him for his task; that he was di
vinely ordained for the work and had to do it.
The preacher regarded Judas as a benefactor
because lie did that which was indispensable
for the accomplishment of the drama of the
world’* redemption. He thought Judas was
saved a Sain so ii was saved, and if suicide
was not a crime which debarred salvation.
We regret to be the bearer of bad news to
such a kind-hearted old man as Gen. Butler,
and yet circumstances over which we have no
control compel us to be precisely that kmd of
a Mercury. Monday night was set apart for a
grand Butler rally in Cincinnati. It was to
lie the opening of the Butler campaign. The
Butler people were to paint the town red, so
to say. A full Butler ticket was to be nomi
nated, Congressional and county. T? e ticket
was Dominated according programme, but
the crowds, the enthusiasm, and the crimson
paint were wanting. Nowhere were these
adjuncts to lie sc n. There were 30 sovereigns
there—39 souls, an I not a soul more. I’ossi
bly tile Butler seutiment may grow, and if it
ever amounts to auythiog herealiout it will
have to. But just now it is represented bv
”39 people, count ’em, 39,”
Gen. McClellan was asked if he thought
that, on the whole, the effect of army life had
lieen demoralizing to thoscwlio participated in
it. “By no means,” he replied, warmly. "The
point isn't susceptible of proof or disproof, but
I have no manner of doubt that the ratio of
drunkards is no greater among veterans than
among other men. There were thousands of
the volunteers whose methods of life were
hopelessly unsettled, and who wouldn’t or
couldn’t return to any sort of usefulness.
But I believe there were many more thou
sands on whom the experience had a broaden
ing, inspiriting, educating influence, and who,
consequent lv, emerged from the war better
qualified than they would otherwise have
l>een to accomplish something or other. 1
think this is especially true of lh*se who had
rank above the mere private, though it might
be only a Sergeantey. The feeling of leader
ship and re -ponsibility rendered them more
disposed to go vigorously ahead in subsequent
enterprises. No, no; it is a mistake to say
that the war was in that way demoralizing
on the whole.”

THE JESSE JAMES OF OHIO.
Robber and Murderer, Then a Respect
ed Merchant, and Afterward a Robber
Again.
A few days ago, says a Hillsboro (O.)
letter to the New York Sun, Gov. Hoadly
pardoned Frank Messmer, a young man
serving a ten years* term in the peniten
tiary for robbery. Messmer was the pal
of Bob MeKimmie, the Jesse James of
Southern Ohio. Since Messmer has been
out of jail he has made many disclosures,
which, with the known history of Mc-
Kinime, make up a tale equal to those
told of the Younger and James criminals.
McKitnmie was born thirty years ago near
Rainsboro. He began stealing when a
schoolboy, and at 14 joined the regular
army at Columbus. He went to tight
Indians, and deserted in two years.
He became a road agent in Utali, and
with companions robbed and mur
dered stage passengers and express
agents. He, with others, was captured
and sentenced to 15 years in the Mormon
penitentiary. In nine months he escaped
with Jack Williamson, a fellow-convict.
The guard was killed to effect the escape.
From Utah. MeKimmie went to the Black
Hills. In February. 1877, he robbed the
Cheyenne stage. He had organized a
gang of five cutthroats who robbed the
mail, express and passengers. In March
the gang attempted to rob another stage,
and MeKimmie killed Johnnie Slaughter,
the driver. The horses ran away, and the
eleven passengers escaped. Later at the
Cheyenne crossing the same gang robbed
three coaches and soon had over $30,000.
A woman dressed in boy’s clothes fol
lowed MeKimmie in his depredations,
and overheard his comrades plotting to
kill and rob him. She warned him, and
MeKimmie, with one companion took the
entire booty and went to Texas.
From Texas. MeKimmie came to Hills
boro in Sept. 1877. He was well dressed,
had abundance of money, and said be had
been successful in cattle herding in Texas.
He became a peaceable citizen of Rains
boro, and married Clara Furguson, an
against her uncle’s wish.
McKimtme bought a store, and was soon
a merchant in good standing.
A few months later M. F. T eac i, 0 f
Ogalla, Mo., came hero after a Union
He had suspected
. l Hinl ’ jUt was mistaken, as the lat
ter ’ijd come here the mouth before the
robbery in question. Leach afterward
met Detective Bullock, of Deadwood, and
told him about McKimmie’s new start in
life. Bullock knew the robber from
experience, and bad been trying to trace
him for 6ome time. He came here at
once and visited McKimmie’s store.
Getting him outside, he arrested Mc-
Kimmie on charges of robbery and mur
der. McKimmie’B lawyers got him out of
jail in an hour, but he was immediately
rearrested. After much legal fighting the
case was carried to the Supreme Court and
MeKimmie went to jail. An attempt to
re'ease him by forged telegrams from Co
lumbus was "made bv his friends but
failed. In January, 1878, while his case
was pending he escaped from jail by shoot
ing the Sheriff and cowing the'guards
with a revolver. An old man seized a gun
loaded with shot and fired at the fugitive.
The shot struck his cigar case and his life
was saved.
He eluded capture, and was secreted
with friends near here for weeks. He
even had a friend arrange to bring a De
tetive Norris into a certain Chillicothe
saloon that he might see him for future
recognition. He saw the detective
through a knothole. He then went to
Virginia, met his wife at Richmond, and
lived with her in Raleigh, Charleston,
Savannah, and at Nassau, N. P. There
he became bankrupt and was imprisoned
41 days for Aboard debt. He worked his
way to New York, leaving his wile at
Nassau. Coming to Ohio he failed to get
monev from his lawyers, and plotted with
Messmer to rob a farmer named Roads,
living near here. They got SBO from
Roads. With this money the bandit went
back to his wife, and came here again in
October, ar.d planned to rob the Bain
bridge Bank with New York Charley, an
other noted robber.
Meantime Messmer had been sentenced
to 10 years imprisonment for robbery.
With other pals MeKimmie remained in
the country, and robbed two rich old
maids in Pike county. Then he went to
New York, intending to go for his wife at
Nassau. He came back, as the ship would
not sail for some time, and lived in an old
cabin near Rainsboro. It had been aban
doned for years, and neighbors were sur
prised one" morning to see a curl of blue
smoke ascend from the old stone chimney.
The word was given out that McKim
mie was there, and a posse of men
found him there, ready for a fisrht. He re
sisted arrest until shot twice. Efforts were
made to lynch him, but he was taken to
the Hillsboro jail, cbianed and pinioned.
The Wyoming authorities attempted to
get him, but he was tried lor robbery on
several indictments, and got a joint term
of fifteen years. His conduct in State
prison has been good, and be hopes to get
out through a pardon before his term
ends. If he does, the Wyoming detec
tives will be on the watch, and take him
to Deadwood to be tried for murder and
robbery. He has threatened to kill Bul
lock and many other enemies if ue ever
gets out.
GREELY’S DEAD COMRADES.
The Evidence of Cannibalism Found in
Kisllngbury’s Body.
In continuing their examination of
Lieut. Kislingbury’s body, says a Ro
chester, New Y'ork, special of Aug. 18,
Drs. Charles Buckley, F. A. Maudeville,
and James Buckley have had recourse to
the microscope in examining the contents
of the intestines. They have found here
woody fibre, cellulose, spiral fibres of air
vessels of plants, shells and mineral sub
stances, striped muscular tissue, epider
mis, red blood corpuscles, and oil glo
bules.
“We believe,” said the physicians,
“that the epidermis and muscular tissue
found was that of a human being, the
epidermis contrasting exactly with epi
dermis taken from the arm of one of us
and put under the microscope. The tis
sue presented the same characteristics as
laid down in plates of eminent authors,
and while we cannot say positively that
Lieut. Kislingbury partook of human
flesh, yet deductions warranted to be
drawn trom the admissions of the survi
vors of the expedition, the scarcity or
entire absence of food from the camp, and
the large quantities of epidermis and
striped muscular tissue foqnd by us sat
isfy us that the story ot cannibalism was
a truthful one. What we under a magni
fying glass on Friday last thought was
hair under the microscope seems more
like vegetable fibre. Kislingbury’s physi
cal condition, just previous to hfs death,
was such that perfect or even approxi
mate digestion was impossible.”
The examination of the body of Lieut.
Kislingbury iu the chapel of Mount Hope
Cemetery on Thursday Ja9t was nearly
completed when Dr. Buckley broke the
6ilence and said: “Gentlemen, the dissec
tion ol that body was the work of an ex
pert. There was no hacking with knives,
but it was the work of a sharp scalpel in
the hands of a clever anatomist. Gentle
men, Dr. Pavy’s work is before you.”
Dr. Mandeville— 1 “It was the work of an
artist. Nearly every ligament and ten
don wa9 utilized.”
A person present said: “Dr. Pavy died
before Lieut. Kislingbury, and your con
clusions are therefore wrong.”
On Friday Drs. Buckley andAlande
ville again' expressed the that
Kislingbury’s body was Dr.
Pavy aud that he (Pavv) diedfßj Kis
linhury, and that at the time dis
section of Kislingbury Pavy was quite
strong. A search”of the record was made,
and it was found officially announced that
Kislingbury died on June 1 and Pavy
June 6.

COME, GENTLEMEN!
You have for years BLACKLINED and UNDERVALUED PURE, WHOLESOME
and BETTER BAKING POWDERS than vour own—the "Royal.” By blacklines,
alleged “Government Chemists” who do not exist, and under the garb of “absolutely
puie” you have forced into unsuspecting families a powder which contains the active
drug AMMONIA. Eminent physicians and chemists condemn its use in articles of
daily food. You cannot longer evade the issue, AMMONIA. The public will compel
you to defend its use.
DO NOT TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.
Every housekeeper can prove the truth of our statements by placing a can of the
“Royal,” top down, on a hot stove until heated, then remove the cover and smell
“AMMONIA.” This test will show that the “Royal” contains AMMONIA; that
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder does not contain Ammonia. The strength of
our powder can be proven by the consumer’s reliable test,
THE TEST OF THE OVEN.
In my opinion “ Dll. PH ICE'S CUE AM BAKING POWDER ” IS SUPERIOR
io the “Royal Baking Powder’' IN EVERY RESPECT.
