Recently we obtained copy Of the
Daily State Register of Oct. I'd, con-
tanning the following:
"Rev. DIR. Merrill, q distine uished
Congregational minister Of Ottumws,
in sermon last Sunday announced
his belief in the Darwinian theory Of
creation; and declared that annihils-
ton is the end of the soul. The hor-
ror of the orthodox knows no bounds"
This, we suppose, was drawn from
an article in tho Spirit Of the Times,
of this city. The extended circulation
Of the Register among strangers to the
Rev. Merrill, calls for . most positive
and unequivocal denial Of every state
ment made in the above, save that Mr..
Merrill 10 distinguished Congrega-
tional minister Of this city, and that he
preached here on the evening 90 stated.
II Will be news to the orthodox in o.
tumwa that "their horror knows NO
bounds" because the views Of the Rev
erend gentleman announced in said
sermon.
Mr.. Merrill authorizes 10 to say that
IN his sermon referred to, the views he
were the fartheat removed

Down at the depot. last night, q lady
had her pocket picked Of her pocket
book containing a few dollars in
money and her ticket. She missed her
book and called out the fact when an
other lady present caught mans hand
in her pocket. She gave the alarm
but the thief jerked away from her
but still chung to the pocket-book.-
Sam Barkwell, who happened to be
near, captured the fellow on board the
train, just as he threw the pocketbook
behind the stove. Sam recovered the
money and handed the thief over to
John Mitchell, who marched him up
to the Spiders Nest where he will re-

This time he was from Creston, was
tall, dark Completed and wore heavy
black whiskers. He was on his way
home from the East, but while here
concluded to 60 with an insinuating
sort of cues to see the double headed
snake with the nineteen rattles, recent
ly captured in the Black Hills. He too
met the fellows who had the picture
OF Charley Ross, and two other cards.
He forgot the snake, and stopped to
watch the silly looking fellow play
with the cards, and bet ten good dol
lars that he knew the right card. He
didn't. He went west muttering that
he believed those fellows were monte
men. He was the second sucker to-
day.

One Of our professional citizens was
successful in collecting some $40 yes
terday, and was called to 60 west to
neighboring town, ON the night train,
on business. He went to the depot at
the usual hour for the train to arrive,
and found he had to wait about an
hour. He improved this occasion to
set down and rest his wearied body,
and fell into short sleep. When the
train arrived, he felt for his pocket
book, but it wasn't there. Pick
pockets. He found friend who had
money to spare in the emergency,
bought his ticket, and went west a
wiser man in regard to the "wsys
that are dark, and tricks that are vain"
Hereafter when mapping at the depot
he'll have his hands in his pockets.
