He was sent dowu from Johnson county several years ago on a charge of grand larceny. He has escaped from the pen three times. Once be was captured by Sheriff Murray, but escaped again, and was yesterday yanked in, through the efforts ot Deputy Geo. Adams and an assistant. The Sheriff received bis papers in the case last Mttrjh, and following the matter up, finally located Jackson near the junction of Walnut and Flat Creeks. Deputy Adams and bis assistant went out yesterday, armed with guns, lor the ostensible purpose ol ttinting rabbits. They found their rabbit, and (ieorge drew a bead on biro aud told him to el evate bis arms. Like a sensible negro he did so. He was then secured, brougbt back to town and lodged In jail. He will go to Jeff in a few days. The capture was planned and car ried out in a first-class style. We understand a rewarJ U ut for Jackson. Sodalia Demo crat. ' DR.

A singular misfortune happened last week to a very fine til ley that belonged to Henry C. Watson of Cass township, Greene county. She was missed from the pasure in which she was confined, and, supposing that she had ben stolen, Mr. Watsou searched hit and near, but could learn nothing of her whereabouts, until a day or so ago when he bud occasion to go to an old straw sta!k, about a hundred yards from the house, and there found an ex pi ination of the case. The cattle bad eaten a bole nearly through the stack, and Ihe Alley, in one of her Irisky moods, ran up on the top of it and fell through when over the weak plane, and was smothered to death. A Forcible Season. Of the many vile aspersions aud foul slanders which the Rspublican has fulminated against those who do not favor ihe election of Sam. Glover to the United States Senate, the mean est and most contemptible is the charge tha those who oppose him do so for the reason that he did not ' approve of the method by which Mr. Lincoln was remoyed from the Presiden cy." If the Republican is anxious to ascertain the true reason of the widespread opposition to Samuel, we can give the desired information. It-is because be is generally believed to be d d old hypocritical blatherskite. Maries County Courier. i "Week of Prayer. The week of prayer will be observed neit month more generally than ever throughout the Protestant world.

A Horrible Death. Speaking of the horrible death of Mltchil and Ketchum, the two men recently referred to in the telegraphic columns of the Gazette, as having b en burned to death, in Wester Nebraska for horse stealing, the Kearney Press says : They were chained together by their bands high in the air and their feet nearly touching the ground. In this position they hung while the slow fire was nuilt under them, and when found their extremities were burnt eff, their entrails were hanging out Bnd they were dead. How long they hung there, writhing in agony, with their mustles scorching, theirflesh frying and frizzling and their shrieks and groans tesounding over the deserted prairie before death came to their relief, we have no means of knowing. William Sweet, only eight years old, saw a terrible sight the other dav. He is the son of a street-car conductor in New York who had gone to take iharge of his car, leaving the boy with his mother at home. During the day Mrs. Sweet complained of sickness, and sent the boy to find and bring his father home. He happened to meet the conductor at a near point on his line and did his errand. Sweet told the boy he would come home as soon as he could take the car to the depot and return on it a passenger. The bov then returned home and found the door locked. He got in, however, but soon came out in terror. He ran to the rail road again, and saw bis father coming on the car. He cried, ' Oh, papa, come home, mam ma has hanged herself." The man and boy hastened kome, and found the wife and mother hanging by a rope ataacbed to a Joor-liotel, When cut down she was quite dead. The boy's story pictures the sight he saw: "When I opened the door and saw mamma banging I was scared and didn't know what to do. Her face was black: she rolled her eyes at me, but could not speak, and she was swinging. I said, mamma, what have you done? but she did not say anything, so I ran for papa." What a ghost for the boy's memory will be that black face and rolling eyes, and swaying form in the agonies of strangling.

A Globe-Democrat's Fort Smith, Ark., special savs : John Postoak, a Creek Indian of considerable note, his lath r being a member of the Creek Council, and Jas Diggs, colored, wpre executed on the same gallows atone o'clock today. Postoak mur dered John Ingley in October, 1877, and Diggs killed J. C. Gould in August, 1873. Both mounted the scaffold with a firm step, and after religious services Diggs made a brief speech, warning everybody against whisky and gamb ling, as being the vices which brought him to his doom and Postoak made a ten minutes' prayer in the Creek language. Diggs strug gled violently, but died iu seven minutes, while Postoak did not apparently move a muscle. But hi pulse continued to beat eleven minutes. Both confessed their guilt to their spiritual ad visers before leaving tha jail. Sure Signs. To meet a funeral is a sign of death. To dissipate to-day is a sign your bair will pull to-morrow.

The Record of a Ruffian, Frank Turner, the young desperado 'who Inst week cut the thrort of Kllison Judd, at Mason Station, Ky., has been removed from jail at Williamstown to the Covington jail to prevent lynching. Probably no young man of Turner's age has ever acquired such a criminal record as be. The following Is a pretty full list of bis murders and attempted assassinations: In 1873 be killed Charles Brogard, a German In Owen x unty. He got Into a quarrel with Brogs .,; flnd hit him on the bead with the beam of ' ; air of scales, breaking his skull. , he same yenr be shot and killed a negro on ihe Southern Railroad, without exchanging a word with him. Tbe negro was a stranger, and the grand jury never found out his name. For both these murders money acquitted him. In 1875 he shot a man named Marshal three times, the result of a quarrel. Marshal got well and Turner was fined $15. In 1870 he killed a man named Pat Ryan at Hardscribble S-hool House. Ryan was work ing on the Southern Road at the time. He was drinkeng from a bottle as Turuer rode up and aid, "IIdd on, leave me a drink." Ryan answered by inverting the bottle, whereupon Turner shot him Iu the head aud the mau died. Turner was acquitted. Soon after be met a Mr. Colvilleon the road i ling in a wagon with his (Colville'.-) wife. He hal a grudge a.'ainst Colville and shot him twice without killing him. Seven or eight months ago he look a girl out riding from a picnic, and when he got her In a retired spot, ho took her out of the buggy and outraged her. A neighbor saw the deed, but such was Turner's terisni that the man feared to rescue the girl, and the girl's relations were afraid to prosecute him. His list victim was Judd, as already stated. At ono time there were no l.'ss than thirteen indictments standing against this young ban ditt. His father has stood by the brute through al, but at l ist has become a bankrupt. AFTER HIM. A Missouri Woman's Search for a Faithless Husband. The Herald made mention about two werks since of a Mrs. Herbert Ky.hian who arrived in this city in search of her faithless husband, who had eloped at Macon, Mo., with an actress whose stage name is Mabel Ross, with whom he had become hopelessly infatuated. As stated at the time, failing to fi id her truant husband here, she went on to Fort Worth in search of him, and her hunt proving futile at that point, she returned, and taking the Central, went to Galveston, San Antonio, Houston aud Waco. At the latter place she learned that a man and woman answering the description of her hus band and his mistress had come up on the road ; she took tbe train for this oint. Having once been at Thompson's Theater in this city in her search, she determined to disguise herself, and, ber hair heiu? short, favored her in her scheme. She appeared at the theater in men's dress, cir culating among the private boxes, aud all oyer the theater in hopes of finding tbe objects ot ber search. But her effeminate voice and ac tions created considerable comment, and, feel ing that her sex was known and fearing arrest. he communicated the same to a gentleman whom she used to know in Macon, Mo., and left ihe theater hurriedly, in charge ot her friend. Mrs. Fvthian, as heretofore stated, is a neat, trim little brunette, possessed of great determination oi enaracter. sue leaves this morning for the North, where she intends to continue her search until she reclaims her re creant busband.

Mr. Belch would undoubtedly make one of the finest pre siding officers with which that body has been honored. His ability for tbe important posi tion is of peculiar merit in many respects, be ing a fine parliamentarian, courteous yet firm and decided, Mid possessing those qualifica tions that would enable him to govern a large body of meu. We believe we give utterance to tbe sentiment of the Democrats of Cooper county when we say that Mr. Belch's election as Speaker of the next. House would give ex ceeding satisiaction. Boonvide Topic, M:iyor Shelley, of Kansas City, has proposed to do a good thing. He has, since be has beeu in ufflce, kept a record of every person iu the city, by name and residence, and number of children, who have applied to the city for char ity.

In preparing tbe fowl for dinner, Mrs. Ford took from the gizzard of Ihe chicken a bright piece of metal which naturally created some curiosity, and it was preserved uutilthe following day, when Mr. Story brought the metal to Kahnkia, and after bearing tbe sevorest test it was pronounc ed gold, and weighed one grain and a half. Mr. Ford bad been previously hauling some sand from a ere. k near by his house, and it is thought the gold piece was picked up from the sand pile. The amount of testimony In favor of Dr. Schenck'g Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure lor Con sumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to support the pretensions of any other medi cine. See Dr. Sehenck's Almanac, which can be had of any Druggist free of charge, contain ing the certificates of many persons of the high est respectability who have been restored to heslth, after btfn pronounced incurable by physicians of acknowledged ability. Sehenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences will show; but;the cure is oiten promoted by the employment of two other remedies which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. Thesd additional remedies are Sehenck's Sea Weed Tonic ami Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these medicines, accord ing to directions, Dr. Schenck certifies that most any case of Consumption may be cured. Every moment ol delay makes your cure more difficult, and all depends on the judicious choice of a remedy. Sehenck's Mandrake Pills are an agreeable and sale cure for Constipation caused by billiousness, and also for 'sallow complex ion and coated tongue. Thi ra is no better remedy for disordered stomach and all its evils resulting therefrom. Dr. Schenck is profes sionally at his principal office, corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advice may be addressed.
