Bound By Hideous Oath.
Sr. Joseph, Mo., April 10. Last
Tuesday night Edward Shellenbarg
er, a merchant of Mouud City, shot
and wounded a mau who was bur
glarizing his store. There were three
of the burglars. The wounded bur
glar turned out to be Willie Steb
bius, the 16-year-old son of one of
wealthiest men in the place. This
evening young Stebbens died. He
confessed on his death bed that he
and nine other boys had some time
ago organized a society based on
Mark Twain's story of Tom Sawyer
aud they were bound by a hideous
oath not to reveal the names of
members or the deeds they had done.
The band made a number of raids
and the country was thoroughly
aroused by their work and deeply
mystified, as no clue was obtained
until the shooting at Shellenbarger's
store.
Mound City is all torn up as the
names of the other nine members
are in the hands of the officers at
they will be arrested to morrow
morning.

ROMANCE OF CHICAGO FIRE
A Slinister lie-United to His Wife
Whom He Supposed Dead.
New Yoik, April 7 The Rev. Dr.
James Rodman, Congregationalist
of this city, while filling, by invita
tion, the pulpit of the Rev. Saul
Friedman in Andover uearRoxburg,
Pt . on Easter Sunday was reunited
w h Lis wife fiom whom he had
b t-. parted by the Chicago fire
whtif each believed the other dead.
Dr. Rodman had progressed about
half way through his sermon when
a middle-aged woman in the congre
gation suddenly fainted. He paid
little attention to the incident and
members of the church carried her
into the vestry. When the services
were concluded Dr. Rodman was
asked to step into Mr. Friedman's
private study; there from surprise
and joy the minister nearly followed
the example of his new found wife
in fainting. The woman had mar
ried since their separation by the
great fire, but her second husband,
Robert Cass, had died. Dr. Rod
man had never remarried.
At the time of the lire Dr. Rod
man, who was then a business man,
was injured and lay a long time in
the house of a friend with brain fe
ver. When he recovered all trace
of his wife was gone. The husband
gave up commercial lite and follow
ed the ministry.
M AY GO TO MEXICO.
The Clierokeest Greatly Excited Over
a Proposition From that Gov
ernment. Tablequau, I. T., April 7. The
Cherokee Senate passed a bill this
evening designating the chief and
treasurer and two other delegates
to go to Washington to get the
money, amounting to $8,300,000
due on the sale of the strip. The
bill will pass the lower house to
morrow. Quite a sensation is being caused
here by the recent offer of the Mex
ican government to sell the Chero
kees a portion of old Mexico in case
the United States takes this country
away from them. Many of the Iu
dians have signified their desire to
go to Mexico aud would sell their
lands, providing enough money
could be secured for them, and leave
this country for good. Tha Mexican
government has a large surplus of
lauds and offers to sell them at a
low figure. Jake Battlers, the Del
aware Indian, ia here pushing his
scheme and has succeeded ia work
ing up a great interest, although it
is a new idea with the tribe.
, Ths dispatch of a few days ago
stating that ex congressman Peel
was representing the Delawares is a
mistake. He left here before the
strip was sold. J. E. Campbell is
representing the Delawares, and al
though he has a suit in the court of
claims, hopes to be able to settle
matters here.
Christians in Dungeon.
Constantinople, April 10. The
condition of affairs in Armenia is be
coming more seriousj daily, con
stant arrests of Armenians being re
ported iu private letters. It is
estimated that between 1,800 aud
2,000 Christians are now in Turkish
dungeons.
The recent announcement that the
Sultau had proclaimed a general par
don of Armenian prisoners was meie
humbug. Only a few Armenians
will be released and they will be set
fiee only because no evidence what
ever of their connection with the
pietenUtd "edition could be obtain
ed.
Stanberry, Mo, April 9 Two
men Lee Newell and Leon Stylee,
were burned to death in the cala
boose last night. They had been
arrested for drunkenness late iu the
evening and it is-supposed they fir
ed the building to attract attention
and secure their liberty but relief
came too late.
NEBRASKA STORM SWEPT.
Great Destruction ot Life and Proper
ty Ieported One City Blown
Away.
Omaha, Neb., April 11. At mid
night meager details from the path
of the terrible storm that swept the
northernpart of the state late-in the
afternoon indicates a great loss of
life and a terrible destruction of
property.
The cyclone entered Nebraska
south of Souix City. As a result
of the wires being prostrated in the
immediate path of the hurricane in
formation has only been secured
from the edge of the country tra
versed. For a distance of 100 miles
from the point where the cyclone
entered Nebraska in a northwesterly
direction to the vicinity of Page, the
town believed to have been destroy
ed, reports are received of destroyed
farm houses and in many cases not a
timber was left of the farm dwelling
struck. The air for miles could be
seen filled with debris, household
furniture, timber, etc The great
est interest centers in information
from Page.
At 9 o'clock a wire was found to
work at Page for a few minute
Then for some reason communication
was again cut off. The operator at
Omaha got this much of a special
telling of the terrible destruction of
the town.
A terrible cyclone struck Page
this afternoon. Mrs. Payne, wife of
a local merchant, and two children
were fatally injured, and many more
were hurt. The Pavnes wer hlnwn
from their front porch a long dis
lance ana injured by flying debris.
Many others were hurt, how spnona
ly can not be determined at present,
inougn tne situation is terrible.
Many houses were torn to nit-cnn
and the town is a wreck. A torrent
of rain fell while the cyclone pre
vailed and
Here the wires failed to work
looger and no further informa
tion is obtainable. It is believed
that accurate details from the nat.h
Of the Storm Will show errant loan rf

Kansas towns gone.
Hiawatha, Kan., April 11. It is
reported here tonight that the
southern part of the county was
this afternoon visited by a cyclone,
and that the towES of Willis, Ever
est and Powbattan were laid in
ru:n. Nothing relative to the less
can be obtained, as they cannot be
reached by wire. Hail stones fll

An East End Poisoning.
Rich Hill Review.
Mrs. McClure, who resides with
her husband on East Park Avenue,
just opposite the old seminary
building, came dangerously near
meeting death by taking a dose of
trichninfe, which had been done up
in a powder dotje and placed among
some other powders which she had
been taking at regular times. The
facts of the case as gleaned by a Re
view representative are about as fol
lows: Mrs. McClure has been ailing
some time, though able to be up,
and was being treated by Dr. No
land. The last consignment of med
icine left by the doctor for the sick
woman. was in powdered form, and
when received by the lady was plac
ed on a dresser near the window.
Day before yesterday a neighbor's
child died, and yesterday, Mrs. Mc
Clure feeling improved concluded
to attend the funeral. Mr. McClure
who has also been confined to his
room for the past two months, re
mained at home during bis wife's
absence, together with their infant
child. Mr. Mc fell asleep shortly
a.ter his wife's departure,and as the
above mentioned window was raised
n is oeuevea mar ice poison was
placed with the other powders, as
well as a quantity being put in a
bottle of cough syrup which they
had been giving the child. Mrs.
McClure returned home in due time
and took one of the powders as she

supposed, but only a short time had
elapsed when she became deathly
sick, and her physician was sent for.
On examination poisoning was
found to be the cause and an ati
dote administered just in time to
save his life. Luckily none of the
syrup had been given to the baby
before it was discovered, it would
surely have proven fatal, as the syr
up contained enough poison to kill
the child in three minutes. Sus

One Boy Kill Another.
Pittsburg, Pa., April 10. An ep
idemic of children's crimes seems to
be hovering over western Pennsyl
vania. The youngest murderer ever
known in Washington county is
Tommy Perks, only 11 years old.
Sunday, with some other compan
ions, he was picking coal at the Fi
delity Tipple at Lucyville. Smith
Pierson, 13 years old, was in the
crowd. He took some of the coal
gathered by a smaller sister and
brother of Tommy Perks. The lat
ter resented it aud said he was there
to fight for them. The two voun-
ster8 doubled up their fists and
went at each other. Young Perks
was getting the worst of it. He
drew his pocket knife, which he
plunged into the right side of his
antagonist. The point of the blade
entered the lad s heart. He died
last night.
