HENCY G. Bowen, who has been on
the witness stand in the scandal trial,
fatty contradicts many important
points in Beecher's testimony. The
contradictions are of such a character
as to leave no doubt that either Bowen
or Beecher is a perjurer. Yet strange
to say Bowen is a member of Plymouth
Church. and is apparently an attentive
listener to Beecher's sermons. These
two men-one as pastor, the other as a
member of his fock-meet in church
every Sunday with the full knowledge
that one of them has lied, is in fact
perjurer, and unfit to associate with
truthful men and women; yet no effort
is made by the church to ascertain
which it is and expel him. This is
only one Of the many strange anoma-
lies Of Plymouth Church exposed to
the public gaze by the testimony of it's
members in the great scandal trial, and
which seems to make Plymouth the
most popular church and Beecher the
most popular preacher in Christendom.

under the guidance of true Democratic

This being very peaceful and quiet
part of the country, there is not much

of Nature or Natures children occurs
worthy of note. ~vh
The people of the county were some
what startled on the Goth ult. by the
announcement of an
ATTEMPTED MURDER AND HIGHWAY ROB-
At Salt Wells Station, the circum-
stances of which are as follows: Mr..
Macarthur, who keeps the station, and
his wife had gone to Austin on a visit
and left the hotel in the care of John
Kicks and the China cook. In few
days Kicks was called away, and this
left the Chinaman in charge of the
house, which was perhaps fortunate
occurrence for Kicks. as you will pres
emily see. On Wednesday, the 2Sth,
two men came to the station, both
heavily armed with rifles and revolvers,
and demanded dinner, which was given
them. They then remained around the
premises until about o'clock, and
then demanded supper and horse feed.
The cook set supper for them, and then
went to the stable to feed the horses.
They followed him, and as he drew a
knife to open sack of barley, they
drew their revolvers on him. He
dropped his knife, at the same time
telling them they could have anything
they wanted, but that would not satisfy
them nor answer their purpose. They

emptied several sacks of fonr to find
their booty. They succeeded in finding
good watch and some $50 in money.
He then returned to the cellar to assist
in digging the grave. By this time the

O'Clock p. M. Mr.. Kanyon immediately
set out to notify the Sheriff, about 20
miles distant, who with Frank Grey,
Dan Bushnell and James Coffman,
started in pursuit early in the morning.
The robbers had by this time got about
twelve hours start of our men, but we
all felt confident that the Sheriff would
bring them if possible, assisted by such
men as he had. Mr.. Grey is an old de-

down three horses each. Sheriff Tur-
man nearly ruined his favorite horse
Dirego, which he values very highly.
They doubtless would have captured
them, but heavy rain storm set in on
the mountains and entirely defaced the
tracks. They searched in the noun
tains for four days, but without suc-
cess. In deep deile of the noun
tains they found the
SKELETON OF A MAN,
Who had seemingly been dead few
months. The flesh had been eaten by
the coyotes, but the scalp still re-
manned. Who the unfortunate man
could have been is a mystery.
1t is thought by every one that the
robbers intended to rob the Columbus
and Wadsworth stage, which runs over
this road, carrying valuables and bull
lion, and had the Chinaman not sue
ceeded in getting away they would
doubtless have done so, as it was due
there the next morning.

THERE CONES A TIME.

There comes 4 time when we grow old,
And, like sunset down the sea,
Slope gradual, and the night wind cold
Games whispering, sad and chilling!
And locks are gray
AS winters day,
And the cves of saddest blue behold V
The leaves, all weary. drift away.
And lips of faded coral say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when joyous hearts,
Which leaped as leaped the laughing main
Are dead to all save memory,
As prisoner in his dungeon chain.
And dawn of day
Hath passed away,
The moon hath into darkness rolled
And by the embers warm and gay,
hear voice in whisper say,
There comes a time when we grow old.
There comes time when manhood's prime
Is shrouded in the mist Of years,
And beauty, fading like dream,
Hath passed away In silent tears;
And then how dark!
But, oh! the spark
That kindled youth to hues Of gold,
Still burns with clear and steady ray,
And fond affections, lingering. say.
There comes . time when we grow old.
There comes a time when laughing spring,
And golden summer cease to be,
And we put on the autumn robe
To tread the last declivity;
But now the slope.
With rosy Hope,
Beyond the sunset we behold
Another dawn, with fairier light,
While watchers whisper through the night
There comes time when we grow old.

farmer, started across his farm to look
for cattle. Soon after his horse came
home riderless, and search being made,
Billings was found with his head
pierced with bullets. A few days
ago, in Cass county, ,one Merrihewter.
to avenge an alleged case Of malprac-
tice upon his wife, rode up to DR..
Horton, who was driving along the
highway, and shot him through the
body. On Sunday night last, Geph-
art Gruthysen, q young farmer in
Scott county, hearing . row in .
neighbor's house, started with q
friend to quell it. As he entered the
door, one of the rioters, Charles
Moore, came to the door and shot him
dead.
This is the record Of the past week,
and it equals the bloody times of the
early days of California, and is scarce
outdone by the records OF Louisiana.
On Wednesday last, near Alton,
Alfred Van Sickles started to Alton
with his wife and two children and
= sister-in law, who were intending to
take the cars for Illinois. When
near the station, the man put his arm
around his wife and affectionately
drew her up to him and kissed her
He quickly drew revolver and shot
her through the heart. She jumped
up, exclaiming, 'Oh. don't shoot me
any more" He shot her again, when
she leaped from the wagon, and he
shot her again, and she fell dead. The
children and sister fed and gave the
alarm to persons near by, and when
they arrived the man had arranged
his wife's body, folded her hands
across her breast. laid himself by her
side, and shot himself through the
head. The cause for the act no one
knows.
Next in the catalogue of horrors is
suicide, which seems to have become
epidemic-so frequent as to destroy
all romance about it. Formerly il
was considered weird and sepulchral,
but now it rather excites contempt
than pity. Formerly it was the effect
of some long brooded sorrow or phan'
asy Of the brain; now it has become
a freak OF impetuositv. Blackhawk
county records FIVE cases within q
short time, two Of which were girls.
The last was farmer, who had some
trouble in his family and resorted to
the halter to choke down his miser-
les. Another case is that of Elite
Green, mentioned above rs = shootist
who attempted to stiae her mourning
for Foote with portion Of strychnine
Thwarted in this, her grief seemed
to be changed to revenge. At Mon
ticello, few days ago, L. Washurs
was convicted Of violation of the
liquor law, and he became SO disgust
ed with the meanness of the liquor
law he vowed he wouldn't live under
it, and came very near breaking his
worthless neck, trying to get out OF
the State, with hemp rope.
On the Goth. the wife Of Jonathan
Long, at Mt. Vernon, was found dead,
with little daughter by her side
She had cut her throat from ear to
ear with a razor. This is the second
case Of suicide in the same house.
On the same day that Mrs. Long died
w. j. Mitchell, Of Ottumwa, put al
end to his life with Morphine.
The most insatiate thirst for hor
rors ought to be satisfied with the
foregoing record of one weeks trag.

BURNED TO DEATH.

On Fridays little daughter of Will
liam Williams was placing some chips
on the fire, when her dress sleeve
took FIRE. The girl ran out doors, and
before her mother could reach her, her
clothes were all on FIRE. The mother
rolled the girl 10 the grass and extin-
guished the flames, but the child was
so badly burned she died in three
hours. The mother will lose three
fingers by the sad occnrance.
On Friday last, one year old girl
of Mr.. Amos, who resides in Polk
township, Wapello county, was play
ing around the stove at which its
mother was at work, and pulled over
upon itself a bucket full Of boiling
water, by which it was scalded SO
severely that death ensued in a few
hours. From its face to its feet it
was completely cooked.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING,

While SO many are being deliber-

dent. A young man named kittle-
son, near Clermont, was handling a
revolver, when it was discharged, the
ball entering the head near the base
Of the nose and passing backward
nearly through the head. On Tues
day George w. Baker, a wealthy
farmer near Minburn, was pulling a
loaded gun forward in his wagon by
the muzzle, when it was discharged,
the contents carrying away portion
of his throat and serving the iugular
artery, and producing death.

THE MERCILESs MOWER.


A few days ago John Wray, near
Sigourney, fell from his seat on q
moving machine, and one hand was
fed to the remorseless blade. In the
same county, w. w. Morrow fell be-
fore a machine, receiving an ugly cut
on the shoulder and had one arm per-
forated with guard. A Miss Long,
near Dysart, while walking under a
tree knocked reaper sickle down,
which struck ON her shoulder serving
the collar bone, one rib and piercing
her lungs.

his horns, and would have killed him
but for the prompt action of man
who stood near, and seized the bull
By the rear and threw him around,
which released the boy.
