and now is the time to secure our
trade. Our old sores are yet un-
healed-the same old railroads have
their grasp still upon our throats, and
if we are ever to be married to st.
Louis, now is the time the steps
should be taken for the nuptials.
We believe, separate and apart
from our grievances, that both st.
Louis and ourselves are to be benefit
ted bya large portion of our trade
being diverted from Chicago to
st. Louis. Heavy shipments are al
ready going forward to Milwaukee
since the opening of the Central to
the McGregor Railroad, at Mason
City; and although we are getting a
better price for wheat there than at
Chicago, still that will not give us
cheap groceries, and such other arti-
cles as should reach us from the ocean
by the mighty Mississippi. Let the
business men of st. Louis, by liberal
ity and enlarged enterprise, make
their city the Great Western Empo
rum. State Register.

A counterfeiter named Daniels was

the platform of the rear car, and
vamosed, leaving only the tracks OF
his boots behind.

In Indianapolis the question
is being discussed whether a
court has the right to order
chlorotorn administered to a
witness in order to get at the
truth of evidence given. A wo-
man testified in the police court
that she had been assaulted by
her husband, who had broken
her arm. A physician was call.
ed totestify to the extent of her
injuries, but when he attempted
to examine her arm she began
to yell like a Comanche.-
Thereupon the Judge ordered
chloroform administered, and it
was found that the woman had
lied, and that her arm was not
broken at all. And now the
Judge is objurgated for his cru
city.

ACCIDENT AT A FUNERAL The
Chicago Times publishes an &C
count of an accident at a funeral
1.-THE parlors where the coffin was
resting were exc, edingly full OF
people, SO that the unusual weight
upon the floor caused it to give
way during the address of tn,
minister, and precipitated the
whole crowd, coffin, minister and
mourners, into the cellar. The
room below was used rs a pantry
or store-room and dairy, jars of
butter, .jams, preserves, &C., SO
that almost every one was accom-.
modated with a liberal daubing of
one or more of these articles
The Chicago lady who informed
the writer Of the catastrophe, was
particularly fortunate, managing
to get one foot in q jar of butter,
another in pan of milk, while a
shelf of honey was deposited in
her lap. To add to the confusion
the coffin was broken by the tall
and the corpse landed in a barrel
of soft soap.

Shot and Hung.
Fearful Doings of the Kuklux In
Franklin County,
Three Negroes summarily Dis.
patched.

Three negroes named Grand OH
yer, Nat Caldwell aud Anderson
Holland were taken out of the
Jail at Winchester, Franklin Coun-
ty, at II o'clock Wednesday night,
by a band of ten disguised men,
and shot and hung. The sup
posed circumstances which led TO
this terrible deed are as follows:
The negroes built a church at
Hock.rsville, q village ten miles
from Winchester, and subsequent
ly had a camptneeting of three
weeks duration, in which time
they forged upon all the farmers
in that vicinity, materially re-
ducing their number OF hogs, sheep,
fowls and products Of every char
acter by continual raids. The
burning of the church Was the
consequence. A week agoa me-
gro girl, who had been bound to
Henderson Waggoner, took up
quarters with Negro who refused
to give her up, drawing bis pistol
in defiance. Waggoner went home,
returned with a shotgun and
threatened to kill the negro if he
offered further resistance, and took
the girl home.
Last Sunday night about TWEEN
ty negroes surrounded Waggoner's
house, guarding every avenue of
escape and fired it. The leader
commanded, with an oath, all bis
band to shoot any one who at
tempted to come cut of the house.
Waggoner and his wife happened
to be away, and thus escaped be-
ing burned to death or shot.
They next burned the Methodist
church, and shot two or three
horses in the neighborhood. Oil
yer Caldwell and Holland subse-
quently confessed to having par.
ticipated in the crime, and were
committed to the Jail at Winches.
ter, from which, as already stated,
they were taken Wednesday night,
conveyed to a bridge between Win
chester and Decherd and swung
off on its beams. The negroes re-
sisted and one was shot in the
Jail. Another negro in the jail
suspected OF completely was taken
out hut subsequently put back
without molestation, he having es,
tablished his innocence.
A Coroner's inquest was held
over the remains Of Oliver, Cald-
well and Holland, but there were
no developments as to the perpe-
traitors.
