Il is Not Generally Known

That the shortest possible route between the East
and Great West is through st. Louis, over the 81
Louis. Kansas City and Northern Short Line
This road has gained surprising Importance by
reason of immense expenditures in the last two
wears of over wOmillion dollars, besides earnings,
in improvements of roadway, in relaying their
line with best quality Of new steel and iron rals'
on broad new ties and by substituting for ordinary
reclining chair coaches, elegantly carpeted
and fitted, with dressing rooms with toilet conven-
fences for ladies' gentlemen and families travelling
with children, igikout ay extra charge This line
runs six fast Express trains between the Missis-
sippi and the Missouri Rivers, two more than any
other road, and connects with all the great Land
Grant Roads in the West, and has adopted all mod
ern appliances for comfort, speed and safeguards
against accidents, including night and day watch
men, who inspect the road before and after the
passage of each train to see that everything is IN
order. We recommend those contemplating trip
West to take the St. Louis, Kansas City and North
ern Short Line, it being the only line running
through cars between st. Louis and Omaha, and
for tickets over this excellent line refer our
readers to any ticket agent selling through tickets
to the West. For map, circulars and time tables
address either Geo. D. Teller, Buffalo, N. Y; or
P. B. Groat st Louis, Mo-, either of whom will
furish any information desired.

with its balmy days, warm showers,
green fields and budding trees. But
with all this beauty and brightness
comes work. The gardens must be
made, lawns cleared up, house
painting, papering, white
washing, &C., to be done. For as
Nature awakens to new life and puts
on fresh livery, SO We, naturally,
initiate her in this; and what more
fitting example could we follow than
hers
Now, such being the case, it is a
matter of the greatest Importance to
know how best to do this, and where
to procure the necessary materials of
the best quality, md at the same
time at the least cost. That "the
best is the cheapest in the end" is a
fact accepted and acknowledged by
all. First it is the best at the begin
ming, lasts longer, costs no more for
the labor to apply than poor mate
rials, and lastly, there is very little
difference in the first cost.
l am speaking now of paints in
particular. Do you want to paint
white? There is no better or cheap
er made than the Phoenix Brand of
Eckstein Hills & Co., for which 1
am special agent,
1t has now been tried in this city
and county for ten years, and never
for once, has it failed to give entire
satisfaction. And I do firmly be-
lieve and assert there is no better
lead made. For colored paints, for
cottages, &C., we have our own
colored paints, which, for durability
and cheapness, far excel all liquid or
chemical paints. They never fade OF

and at the lowest price. So much
for paints.

largest and best variety of Wall Pa

Now this is saying a good deal, but il
you think of papering, don't buy un
til you look st my samples, and you
will be convinced that this statement
is true. But doyou ask where is thi:

Hogs and geese being at large is still a
a source of great annoyance to many of our
citizens, and an effectual remedy for the de-
vastating propensities of these miserable pests
does not seem to be forthcoming. Lots are
constantly being invaded by them and all rep
aration for injuries incurred is out of the ques-
tion. If our Council do not come out with
an ordinance on this question soon we shall
begin to seriously suspect their conniving as

BEER RIOT AT F1NDLAE
A Mob Releases a Saloon Keepe
from Jail.

A Mob Releases a Saloon Keeper
from Jail.
In the special dispatc hes to the Cleveland
Leader of this Thursday morning, we find the
following. Deits was sentenced to jail some
weeks ago, but had by feigned or real sickness
evaded the Jail until the present week.
F1Np1AY, O. July S.-A little more than two
weeks ago a German saloon keeper named Dad
DIV Deitz was tried for violating the ordinance
AGAINST the sale of beer and sentenced to TWEEN
ty DAYS imprisonment in the County jail.
Deitz was taken sick after the tr;ai, aud the
sentence was not carried out until this morn
ing. when Marshal Buhl arrested him and pla-
ced him iu Jail. A few moments after the bell
of the German Lutheran Church was rung as
a signal, and about seventy-five Germans as
sembIed at the Grouse House, where they held
a meeting for the purpose of devising means
for the release of Deitz. The meeting was
! stormy and continued for nearly an hour.
In the course of their deliberations, they de-
termined to demand the release of Deitz, and,
if not granted, to quickly take him out by
force. About ten o'clock they marched to the
| iail and demanded the person of Deitz from
| The Sheriff. This was refused, and then the
mob began parleying. On receiving Deitz
| from the Marshal, Sheriff Henry placed him
| in an upper room of the building, and not in
| the iail proper. After the mob had talked
with him for time they succeeded in getting
him TO allow about twenty Of their number to
make visit to Deitz in his room. This num-
ber was soon increased 70 about thirty.
After remaining inside for few minutes
thew took Deitz and marched out of the Jail
with him into the street, when a scene of the
widest confusion began. The Sheriff made a
| very weak effort to recover his prisoner, but
the mob forced him back. Some persons Of
| fered to assist the Sheriff, but he would not
allow them to do so. All offers of assistance
| were refused Several took the matter in
their own hands and tried to stop the Ger
mans, but without success. The fire bell was
rung and the people turned out to the rescue
onIy to see Deitz carried into his saloon in tri.
umph,
The most intense excitement prevails il
town. The citizens are indignant at the con
duct of the Sheriff in allowing the mob to rule
the iail, and opinions are boldly expressed
that he was in league with the rioters. In the
course of the struggle the Sheriff claims x
have received a severe kick in the stomach
and is lying at his house seemingly unable
( to get out. 1t is believed by the best citizens
that the Sheriff is only shamming.
The whole thing is bitterly condemned b.
the Iaw-abidiDg citizens. The Germans are ar
rogant and insulting, and make threats of vic
leDGe in other quarters. n attempt mas peel
made to re-arrest Deitz. At one O'Clock tn
town is comparatively quiet, t,but the people ar
awaiting the course Of events with anxiety.
SECOND DISPATCH.
, Deitz surrendered himself to the sheriff at
few minutes before four O'Clock. The town
quiet, but the conduct Of the mob is the sol
