Dlsappearauce Of W. N, Burke.

Disappearance OF w. N, Burke.
Our citizens generally believe that
Mr. Burke has been murdered. We
still have an impression that he is not
dead. On the outside of the Standard
this week wc publish an article taken
from the Portsmouth Tribune. The
following is taken from the Portsmouth
Times OF last Saturday;
son Monday evening, the Sd day of
January, Waiter N. Burke, of Jackson,
came to this city and registered his
name at the Taylor Aouse. He spoke
for room for two weeks, saying he
would be engaged for that time in the
Insurance business. He took his sup
per and went out, bat, not coming back
to the hotel, it was supposed he had re-
turned to Jackson. lie was seen that
night at saloons, and is known to have
visited disreputabie house, in tie low
er part of the city, late in the evening,
at which q drunken carousal and some
difficulty occurred. On tho following
morning, the coat and cap worn BY
Burke were brought to the office of
ESQ. Mccoy, by Emanuel Shuftiln, for
merly watchman in the lst Ward.
The coat was identified by the papers
in tho pockets, Shufiin stated that he
had been followed by man ON the pre-
vious evening, about II o'clock, with
threatening demonstrations, to bis
house. The man caught hold of him,
when he struck him with sluDg-shOt,
several times. He says the rnan ran
over the bank of the river, leaving his
coat, which was thrown over his shoul-
ders, and his cap.
These articles, with blood on them,
are in possession of the Mayor. Shut
Ain's residence is at the "point,' near
the bank of the Ohio. Traces of blood
was found near his residence, and pool
Of blood was visible under the bank the
next day. Shuffiin says he heard voices
down at the river after the man had
disappeared, and that the next day he
and Others followed tracks from the
point where the mao disappeared, back
to Madame Jelly's, some distance above,
Burke has not since been seen, and
there is a strange mystery hanging
over the whole affair. Is Burke dOadi
! if so, in what manner did he come to
his deathf By whose hand was he
murdered7 1t is the general belief that
Burke's life has been taken and his body
committed to the Ohio, to hide the aw'
full secret. But for what reason and
what circumstances, is shrouded in un-
certainty. Burke's friends were in the
city few days since making inquiriel
concerning the affair. II murder has
been committed it will surely "out." M
arrests have been made"

Everybody has heard of the Reyolu-
ton, the w Oman's Rights paper of
New York. About a month ago we
received aeopy, proposing an exchange,
provided we would publish the pros
pectus, which at our usual advertising
rates would be worth about $500.
We had heard Of. the Woman's Ad-
vocate, of Dayton, and sent copy of
the Standard marked for exchange. We
received copy, with the prospectus
marked, and proposition to send the
Advocate without exchange, provided
we publish the prospectus. This is al
SO worth about $1,000
We would like to have both of these
papers, but if we cannot get along
without them, we will send the money.
We do not feel able to pay FIVE or six
prices for them. The Jackson Stan
dard was the pioneer in the cause of
woman's rights, and advocated the
cause with what ability it possessed,
long befo re the Revolution or the Ad-
yocats was ever heard of or perhaps
thought Of
The price ofthe Standard is $3.50, that
of the Revolution 800, and the Advo-
cate $3.50. We are willing to pay the
difference in price in advertising,at 10
cents per line. That is the best we
can do II ia fair and honpst.
