and forcibly gained entrance to the
house. He told Mrs. Nixon he was
from Chicago and a distant relative
of hers and wanted to take her out
riding. She objected but was carri
ed by the two men and put in a hack
and they drove rapidly away. The
house is in the suburbs, raid the
alarm raised by the servant failed to j
bring anyone to assist the old lady j
in getting away from the men, but
the news rapidly spread, and soon
numbers were looking for the men,
but they have not been found.
Mrs. Nixon was one of the first
settlers in the valley, and had taken
up land, a part of which is now in
the corporate limits. She is said to
be worth over $100,000, and has
no heirs living. The theory of her
capture is that a distant relative,
who had been in the penitentiary
twice had hired the men to take her
to some point and get her to sign
papers giving him the property. This
theory was given force when the de
scription of the man ho led in her
abduction was learned from the ser
vant and neighbors, making it al
most certain that he is one "Williams,
a tinhorn detective, who had been
operating for a few weeks in this
city, and who, it is thought, could
be induced to act according to the
wishes of the relatives for slight remuneration.

The Convicfr;Contract Senntor.
After many years of cruelly bur
densome tariff taxes, the promise of
partial relief has come in sight, and
we rejoice that President Cleveland
and the wholesome majority of the
democratic party are striving to re
duce these taxes; when lo! in the
crisis of our fate, Senator Brown
steps to the front to oppose this re
lief, with his ill-timed republican ad
vice, to check reform, if possible, by
palming off a policy unspeakably mis
chievous to the country, to the south
and to the farmers, though in the
highest degree helpful to his own
private and personal interests, as
opposed to the interest of the pao-
ple.
His advice is bad, economically,
morally, politically and socially, and
is supported by the old stock argu
ments of the republican party, often
exploded, but retailed still at the
north by Blaine, Sherman, Ingalls
and others, and reproduced now by
Senator Brown before a democratic
audience, in the form of a great lot
of fallacies, historical, economical
and selfish. Some reinforcements
of his own are added by way of
good measure more shallow and
sophistical, which may surprise the
unwary, as the assault comes from
within, and is made by a nominal
democrat, clad in the whole armor
of monopoly crammed and armed
to the teeth by the whole circle of
rius and trusts and combinations
which afflict the country and pray on
the earnings of honest industry.
Thousands of Georgians, deeply
interested in the welfare of the coun
try and of the state, feel that they
are not simply unrepresented, but
misrepresented; that one of our sen-
atorial seats is far worse than mere
ly vacant, since a vacancy would
count but one, while a misrepresen
tation counts as two and is in posi
tion to do miore harm than many.
And this, be it remembered, is our
vote our voice our influence. This
pendent sell assertion, aggressive on
the. rights of 110 one else, and sub
mitting to aggression from none.
And what is the advice he gives? It
is this in substance and inform:
Repeal the whiskey tax, and
make grog cheap.
Fasten the tariff with nails, and
keep necessaries dear.
This monstrous advice, self-con
demned in the very statement, he di
lutes and sugar-coats through twen
ty mortal columns, and deliberately,
wilfully and industriously advocates
it in the senate, and publishes it to
his constituents. In naked deform"
ity, it is too shocking, but he covers
it with much ink and paper.
But our misrepresentation assures
us that reducing the price of whisky
will not add to the consumption of
whisky; that is one of the peculiari
ties of whisky. This surpasses com
mon republicanism it is a violent
form of the disease. If any repub
lican has gone this length I have
not seen it. Nay! Senator Brown
goes the length of classing whiskey
among necessaries, and tobacco, too,
more necessary than blankets.
Observe how he compares the
two:
"Say a laboring man buys a pair
woolen blankets and pays $1 50 tar
iff on it; he buys as medicine for
himself and family a gallon of whis
key and pays $1.50 tax on it to the
registered distiller. Which hurts
him worse? Senator Beck says, how
ever, he can do without the whiskey;
so he can do without the blaukets.
This is not a question of sentiment;
it is a question of dollars and
cents."
Senator Brown proposes to have
$1.50 to buy more whiskey instead
of more blankets, and let the de
bauch last three weeks instead of
bers secured $53,000. A year ago
the three robbers. "Wittrock, Haight
and Weaver were captured in Chica
go and $41,000 of the stolen money
recovered. The men confessed, ex
onerating the express messenger,
David S. Fotheringham, who had
been held and as it seemed to the
jury hounded by W. H. Damsel, the
agent of the company, and Pinker
ton's detectives. The trial occupied
over two weeks and more witnesses
were examined than in any case be
fore tried in this city.
The original sum claimed was
$50,000 and suit was originally in
stituted against Pinkerton, Damsel
and the Adams express company,
but the detectives and the agent
were dropped out of the suit.

Such is the reasoning by which
he defends his monstrous advice.
The whole republican wigwam he
shingles over with sophistry, laying
a fallacy down wherever there is
room to put one thick, fast and
heavy.
His own tribute derived from the
tariff he defends by denying that he
gets it, and by fortifying it all
around, even its distant outposts.
The hope of his gains, being threat
ened, he raises an uoroar and cries
out for two hours, ''Great is Diana
of the Ephesians! Great is 'Protec
tion" of the monopolists'."'
Awful will be the effect of touch
ing one jot or tittle of the dear tar
iff, so dear to his personal and pecu
niary interest.
Our real enemy, he assures us, is
the whiskey ring, and the true issue
is the whiskey ring vs. the people.
But the iron ring is dear to his
soul. Macon, (Ga..) Telegraph.
A Horrible Story Unverified-
Wheeling, W. Va , April 18. A
special to the Intelligencer from
Charleston says:
"A report has just reached here
that a man in Calhoun county who
was away selling cattle, on return
ing home late Wednesday night in
company with a peddler, discovered
a light in the window, and when he
looked in saw his wife and three
children lying dead on the floor.
He also saw four men in the room.
The peddler drew his revolver and
was told to make a noise at the back
of the house- The men inside rush
ed out and three of them were killed
outright the fourth being badly
wounded. It is impossible at pres
ent to verify the story, but the man
who brought it is considered reliable."

That Tired Feeling
Afflicts nearly every one in the
spring. The system having become
! accustomed to the bracing air of
winter, is weakened by warm days
of the changing season, and readily
yields to attacks of disease. Hood's
Sarsaparilla is just the medicine
needed. It tones and builds up
every part of the body, and also ex
pels all impurities from the blood.
Mr. Geo Kennan will tell in the
May Century how he came to go to
Siberia on the Century expedition.
Mr. Kennan had spent some time in ,
Siberia already in connection with
the overland telegraph scheme, and
in the summer of 1884 he made a
preliminary excursion to St. Peters
burg and Moscow for the purpose of
collecting material, and ascertaining
whether or not obstacles were likely
to be thrown in his way by the Rus
sian government. He returned in
Octobei-, fully satisfied that his
scheme was a practical one. He
therefore sailed from New York for
Liverpool in May, 18S5. He says:
"All my prepossessions were favora
ble to the Russian government and
unfavorable to the Russian revolu
tionsts." He adds that this "partly
explains the friendly attiude toward
me which was taken by the Russian
government, the permission which
was given me to inspect prisons and
mines, and the comparative immuni
ty from arrest, detention, and im
prisonment which I enjoyed, even
when mv movements and associa
tions were such as justly to render
me an object of suspicion to the lo
cal Siberian authorities."
The body is more susceptible to
benefit from Hood's Sarsaparilla
now than at any other season.
Therefore, take it now.
Honest Hen.
This noted stallion will make the
season of 1888 at P. K. Lisle's sta
ble in Butler. Mo.
Honest Ben is a fine style and ac
tion horse and a sure foal getter. He
took first premium in all purpose
ring, four years old and over, and
first premium in sweep-stake ring,
best horse, any breed and any age,
at Appleton City fair in the fall of
1886. He took first primium at
Holden in all purpose ring, 4 years
old and over, the same fall.
It will be to the best interest of
breeders to come and see this horse ( ancl City Property
