Detectives from the East have for
some months been on the track Of an
escaped murderer, and recently succeed
ed in tracing him to or near Usage, in
this State. There they ascertained that
he died on the second Of January, at a
house suspected as the haunt Of thieves
and criminals. Before he died he made
q confession Of three murders-two in
New York, for which the officers were
seeking his arrest. and one at Fon du
Lac, Wisconsin. 1t is ascertained that
he came to Iowa in company with no.
torious counterfeitor.
'Barrett's' is just the thing.
AT late meeting of the official
board, of Asbury NJ. +. Church in Mt.
Pleasant, it was "rcsolved that the use
of anything containing Intoxicating
properties in tho celebration Of the
Lords Supper, is a pcrversion Of that
solemn ordinance, and ought to bs
abandoned forever; aud that the un-
fermentsd juice Of the grape ought to be
used; but if that cannot be had and we
are forced to substitute something else,
then pure water is thousand times
better than the villainous compounds
furnished by our drug stores under the
name OF wine"

-Four prisoners escaped from the
Jail at De Witt, about five o'clock
last Thursday afternoon. Sheriff Hogls
had returned from Chicago that day,
and the man in charge reported, but a
short time before the men were missing,
that all was right. A hole was dug
through the wall-the only tool found
being ten penny nail. Two Of the
prisoners had their feet chained togsth-
er in their room. The facts ia detail
have not reached us-but from what we
do learn, it is probable that the men es-
Gaping had assistance. Frazer 10 the
only name we hear among the gang.
1t is hardly possible that they can escape
recapture.
Iowa WHEAT FOR EUROPE -Several
car loads OF wheat, en- route for Europe,
from Iowa, arrived by the Illinois Cen.
trail Railroad to-day, and are now being
transferred to barges by the elevator
company. This is i part Of a 100000
bushel contract for Liverpool, all of
which will pass through Cairo, down
the Mississippi.-Cairo (IN.) Bulletin.
The success of this new route for the
transportation of Iowa wheat to Europe
will be watched with much interest
Those who have the work in charge are
making arrangements to test it on
larger scale, and by river as well rs by
rail above Cairo. Many barge loads
were taken down last season. New and
larger barges are being constructed for
next seasons work and it is believed
that it will compel the reduction Of
freights on the old route by way of Chi
cago and Buffalo. Should it accomplish
this it will prove most valuable enter
prise for Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Illinois farmers.-Io,ca G.y Re-
publican.
