Horse Thief

For some time horses and mules have
been made to disappear from the farms
in the south and west of the county to
such an extent that an organization was
at last effected, the object of which was
TO ferret out the scoundrels and bring
them to the bar of justice, and, if posi-
Bile, put a stop to the nefarious business.
The efforts of this organization has ut
last been rewarded by the Incarceration
in the Andrew county Jail of me of the
ringleaders of a supposed band of
thieves-by name HeZekiah w. Boone.
We gather from the St. Joseph Morning
Herald of Sunday the following particu-
lars of the chase and capture:
On the sixth of this month, q span of
bay mules, valued at S275, were stolen
from Newton Bird, proprietor Of the old
Spencer Mill in Andrew county. A man
named IIezekiah w. Boone had been
seen lurking about the neighborhood for
several days previous to the theft, and
the absence of the mules being co-tem-
poraneous with his disappearance. suspi-
cion Immediately rested upon him.
Rewards were offered, kilograms sent in
every direction and Mr.. Bird set about
forthwith to recover his property and az
rest the guilty one; and he and Henry
w. Branson ascertained from other par
ties where Boone had passed, and from
the description given of the mules in his
possession, they were satisfied that he
was going toward st. Louis, and they
travelled night and day, knowing that
Boone was but some hours ahead of
them. Arriving at Roachport, they
learned that he had taken the steamer
for st. Louis. They then took the cars
and arrived at st. Louis five hours ahead
of the boat, and before the steamer
reached the landing Mr.. Bird recognized
Boone from the description given ofhim.
As soon as the landing was made, Chief
of Police McDonnough, went aboard, ar
rested Boone and found the animals.
Boone was placed in irons and started
with his pursuers for this city, where
they arrived yesterday. He was taken
before Justice Conway by virtue of a
warrant previously sworn out by New
ton Bird and placed in the hands of Con-
stable Burns. An examination was
waived, and in default of $1,000 bail,
Boone was sent to Jail.
Boone is a tall man and stands in a
slightly STOPPING posture. He has q
very dark complexion and wears a light
mustache. He is well known in St. Jo-
seph, and the present charge is not re-
garded as inconsistent with his past rep
u%tation. When taken before the Justice
yesterday. quite a number of farmers
gathered about the Office and exhibited
considerable feeling toward the prison.
er, who was by no mean feeling per-
fectly tranquil. Boone says he bought
the mules from two men, whom he now
supposes to be under arrest for horse
stealing.
Justice Conway gave an order to
Constable Barns to take Boone from pris-
on and convey him to Andrew county.
where it Is feared the people may take
the law in their own hands and deal
summary punishment.
The culprit was duly lodged in Jail in
this city. The fears of the Herald re-
porter that justice will be forestalled by
a mob are groundless. lie will be tried
and punished according to law.

tum. He is a graduate of the Edinburg
(Scotland) Medical Institute, and has
for many years been Il practitioner of
the regular or allopathic school of

The orchards of Holt county bid
fair to produce an abundance of apples,
pears, cherries, plums, &c. The only
perceivable drawback so far, that we
have been able to notice, is the blight.

THE SIGNS OF TILE TIMES.

The following. known as "MotheI
Symptoms Prophecy" was first published
in 1888, and republished in 1641. 1t
will be noticed that all the events pre-.
dictedin it, except that in the last TIVE
lines, have come to pass:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly,
In the twinkling of an eye.
Waters shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange, yet shall be true,
The worll upside down shall be,
And gold be found ut the root Of II tree.
Thro' hills man shall ride,
And no horse or Mss be at his side.
Under the water men shall walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the mir men shall be seen
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
RS easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be foIiga and shown,
In a land that's now unknown.
Fire and water shall Wonders do,
England shall ut last adni u dew.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eishty-one.

The Ashantee War.

The present war between England and
the most powerful tribe of the gold
coast, in Western Africa, naturally ex-
cites new interest in a wild race de-
scribed in our early school books as war
like, ferocious, and possessing a love
for shedding human blood. Ashantee
is an extensive kingdom in Upper GUM
ca, comprising an area of 10000 square
miles, with population of about 8, $780,
600. The kingdom is an inland one !;
for along the coast are several Dutch
settlements, which have been recently
transferred to the English government,
consequently the Ashantees can carry
on their commerce with the coast only
by passing through these settlements,
which at first gave rise to many sangui-
nary conflicts, and finally proved the
immediate cause of the present war.
There was also other secondary causes :
The Ashantees invaded the English
provinces which hostile designs; mis-
sionaries have been captured by them,
and subjected to various hardships and
indignities and king Koffee Calcali
resented the transfer of certain Dutch
| settlements to England, believing that
they belonged to him. Warlike and
cruel as the Ashantees are. they exhibit
much skill in various industrial arts.
They excel in the manufacture of cotton
cloth, and in the brilliancy of theiI
dyes some of their weapons show su.
perior workmanship; and in the max
ing of gold articles there is often exhib
tied combination of skill, taste, anG
dextrous manipulations that is remark
able. Ashantee abounds in gold, which
is distributed all over the soil and ii
sometimes found in large pieces. The
metal is used profusely for personal or
naments, but the natives resent all at
tempts of foreigners to work their min
eral treasures. The capital of Ashante,
is Coomassie, which is said to be reall,
a fine city, containing many handsom,
buildings. The royal palace is a hugl
stone edifce, divided into spacious
rooms. The king himself is compare
lively a young man, being about thirty
six, and exhibits real executive ability

CARLYLE on Work.

All true work is religion; and what
soever religion is not work may go and
dwell among the Brahmins, Antino-
mians, spinning dervishes, and where
it will with me it shall have no har-
Dor. Admirable was that motto of the
old monks, " Ld6OrGre est Ordre, Work
is Worship" Older than all preached
gospels was this unpreached, inarticu-
late, but ineradicable, forever enduring
gospel; Work, and therein have we'll
being. Man, son Of earth and heaven,
lies there not, in the innermost heart of
thee, profit of active method, force
for work and barns like a painfully
smoldering fire, giving thee no rest till
thou untold it, till thou write it down
in benefcent facts around thee? What
is immethodic, waste, thou shalt make
methodic, regulated, arabic, obedient
and productive to thee. Wheresoever
thou fndest disorder, there is. thy
eternal enemy attack him swiftly, sub
due him, make order of him, the sub
lect not of chaos, but of intelligence,
divinity and thee But above all, where
thou hndest Ignorance, stupidity, brute
mindednesss attack it, say, smite it

Cold sleeping-Rooms.

An erroneous idea seem to prevail in
regard to the healthfulness of our sleep
ing apartments it is often asserted that
they should be cold in order to be
healthy; in abiding to this, a medical
journal states that &c a moderate amount
of heat is needed in a bedroom, but
that moderate amount is needed in win
tertime. There is no advantage in going
to bed in a cold room, nor sleeping in a
cold room, nor getting up and dressing
in a cold room. Persons may survive
it /; many have lost health by it. To
have the chill taken off the air on going
to bed and when dressing is comforta-
bic and healthful. A room under As
degrees Is "a cold room for a sleeping
apartment, and sleeping in an atmos
phere indoors lower than that is always
hurtful, is always positively pernicious,
for the simple reason that such a tenn
perature causes the carbonic acid gas of
a sleeping apartment to condense and
settle in the lower Tpart of the room,
where it is breathed into the lungs with
all its pernicious results. Sleeping u
a room cooler than above named is espe
cially dangerous to feeble and aged or
invalid persons, as it tends to cause in
fammation of the lungs. Persons may
sleep Out-of-doors with IMMUNITY when
the thermometer is many degrees low
er that is because the out door air is
pure, is full of life, full of oxygen,
without any 2 admixture of indoor
poisons; hence gives a vigor of circula-
ton which keeps the whole body
warmed to its natural point, resisting
cold and all diseased condition" Cold,
free, fresh air, outside the house, is
indeed quite different thing from cold
putrid air INSIDE the house; fac
which, in examining the causes of dis
eases, is too often lost sight of. Chin
neys and fues that have no fire in them
far from ventilating, may rather becom,
the means of boarding and sweeping
down disease into the room.

A California Racer.

The Morning Call of San Francisco
has the following concerning Thad Ste
vens, the winner in the recent race
Thad Stevens, we are afraid, led very
neglected life when a colt. He was so
ungainly, and promised so little as far
as his points " and performances could
be estimated, that for a time he was
ANONYMOUSLY consigned to life of ser
vitude-was even broken to be a trotter,
and only made his name, now tolera-
bly, famous one, by a gradual exhibit
ton of extraordinary powers on the
turf. His blood is good thoroughbred
although some people say he has few
drops of ignoble blood in his veins),
and he has vital power perfectly mar
velous in elasticity, and has staying
powers not less wonderful. Yet, in the
stable and out of it, amid the huzzas of
a multitude, or in quiet under the hands
of his groom, old Thad is invariably as
docile and unexcited as short-horn COW
Eliminating, and yet as much at COM
mand as a steam-engine, bringing into
play energies that have never been over
stretched.
So promise-nothing was Thad in his
early career that the record of his life
is extremely meagre and unsatisfactory.
He Will attain nine years of age next
spring. Mr.. Lathrop bred him, having
given $500 for the use of his dam. As
Thad rose into colthood the expecta-
tions formed of him here dissipated
warmed to its natural point, resisting
like thin air, his gait in running Civ
ing no indication of the fine quail
ties he now possesses. He soon
passed out of the hands of Mr.. Lathrop.
AS three-year-old he was offered to
George Treat by the CANDLES, but
George, who at that time had the Pioneer
track, declined to purchase. A year
afterward Treat bought Venture from
the CANDLES, and to clinch the bargain
they made him a present of Thad.
Even at this period Thad showed him.
self indiferently on the turf, and was
regarded as a scrub animal, that might
be turned to any kind of work. 1t is
certain that Thad's first notable trial as
a race-horse was when no other animal in
Treats stable could be obtained to fill
up, and on this occasion he passed IN
der the wire victor, beating Chandler
in two-miIe and repeat. This race
took place over the Pacific track, and
it gave Thad his first honors. He had
run in one or two other contests, but
never successfully. The race with
Chandler occurred after his defeat al
Stockton, where little lameness threw
him out of the race. It is recorded Of
him that he beat Compromise and
Bloomsbury in a two-mile and repeal
race at Sacramento, but one of these
horses got lame and the other sulked 81
that Thad, who never loses his temper
had no difficulty in constituting himsel
| winner.

TWILIGHT IN WINTER.
By ". ". STORY.


Once more stand beneath this spreading beech.
Whore talking, dreaming, loving, we have lain
So many happy day.
Now thou hast gone beyond thoughts utmost reach
Out on the DIM dark way
The problem is resolved for thee, but I,
Crushed, questioning, despairing, still remain
And nothing thou wilt say
Is love 50 weak thou dost not heed my eryT
Is memory vanishing, 50 yatuS
That death wipes al away?
q crnel secret wilt thou meier be told7
o torturinR nature, that vast once a bliss,
Youchsafed in love to us.
Why hast thou kept those persisted joys Of old,
Those hours and days Of vanished happiness,
To sting me with them thus?
Let me forqeti oh, blind these eyes that look
Forever backward to that happy past,
Behind her grave that lies
D hold not up that sad pathetic book
OF loves sweet records In that grave be cast
Those torturtng memories.
Let me forget All, how can forget?
And what were life without that tender pain,
So deep, and oh, 30 sad
No; rather let these Borrowing eyes be wet
with endless, useless tears, than eer again
With heartless smiles be giadl
rbe blast among the moaning branches grieves,
And frozen is the laughter Of the brook
Death on the cold earth lies.
Through whose green haunts Of song tho summer
shook
doors and melodies
Let me begone my thoughts are wild and hard,
By grief distracted, shivered, shattered, torn
In struggles fierce and vain
And like loose strings to tones discordant Jared,
Are all those sweet remembrance forlorn,
That thrill through heart and brain.
Farewell upon this life turn my back
Nothing the world can give is good to me;
faint on al things lies.
joys are all poisons-life an endless rack,
And this fair earth, that was heaven to thee,
Is hideous to my eyes.
