Z1F MISSISSIPPI StArcHffR.

The details OF the negro riot at Clinton,
Mississippi, leave no doubt as to It's origin
or of the inexcusable brutality of the de-
monic ins,igators Of the slaughter. The
first assault, which eliminated in the
MURDER of at least FIFTY NEGROES,
was without provocation or excuse. The
meeting iu progress when the first shot
was fired, was marked by such quiet and
good order as to receive the commenda-
ton of the Democratic speaker who had
occupied the first hour of the discussion.
But no sooner did MIR. Fisher, the Republi-
can speaker. begin his address than signs
of turbulence were manifest and he was
denounced as a liar by an inebriated white
man, who, when calmly demonstrated
with, drew q pistol and SHOT A NEGRO
in his neighborhood. Others were fired
upon, several wounded and three killed
outright, before the murderers could be
checked in their fiendi>h purpose. The
lull, however, was but temporary The
worl, of slaughter was speedily resumed,
and NO LESS THAN FIFTY COLORED
MEN are said to have been murdered
So far as the evidence appears, the ne
groes, by no act ofviolence or discourtesy,
afforded the least excuse for this brutal
outrage. They had called the meeting,
arranged the discussion, excluded all liquor
from the ground. and turned out in large
numbers to hear what might be said by
their political opponents as well as friends.
But the quiet of the meeting was broken
by gang of white men, who came with
rum and pistols to show their superiority
in courtesy and morality. The result is
the slaughter of fifty harmless men, whose
conduct during the speech Of their politi-
cal opponent, elected his thanks and COM
mendation.

CAUGHT At LAST.
4 Defauifing Official OF Reno
County iFprehended.
Sheriff Seip Seizes a Reward of
$500 for NabbiDg His Nan.

Last February, when the newly elected
Treasurer and Clerk of Reno county took
their seats, there came to light series OF
the most startling frauds ever perpetrated
upon county treasury, and in the practice
of which these officials had defrauded the
county out Of the sum o. 10000. There
were three Of the officials engaged in the ne
farions peculation, and il was so conducted
that there was no power to prevent il. BE
it known that in order to get a county war
rant cashed it is necessary that it should lie
signed by the Clerk and countersigned by
the Chairman of the County Board In this
conspiracy to defraud Reno county, there
were engaged the County Clerk, the County
Treas ~ r and Chairman Of the County
Board. Warrants were rapidly drawn,
appropriately signed by the Clerk, counter
signed by the Chairman Of the County
Board, and paid by the Treasurer. These
three were in cOllusion, ard between them
over S20,0 900 was thus iraudulently drawn
from the County treasury. A. c. Keis, the
County Clerk, and one of the defaulters,
for whom a reward Of $500 was offered,
was arrested last night in Atchison while
stepping from an omnibus, by Sheriff Seip.
Immediately after the discovery Of this
fraud, Keis and his two accomplices, the
Treasurer and Chairman OF the County
Board OF Reno county, left, and
their whereabouts was unknown. II

Hartford, the Sheriff of Reno county, has
followed him like a sleuth hound. Weeks
ago Sheriff Seip Of Atchison, received dis
cription of the man, and ever since has
been on the alert 10 detect him. In con-
junction with the Sheriff of Reno county,
he has been kept informed OF his where
aboUts, and several unsuccessful attempts
have been made to get him.
Yesterday he was informed that he would

front Of the Otis House, he was formally
arrested.

offered for him. which Sheriff Seip will

PINNED AND PULL-BAcK SUITS.
A Hearty Word in Praise Of the Present
Fashion.

The Boston Courier, in an article on the
above subject, would not make Greek slaves
and Lady Godivas of the wives and daugh-
tiers of the land but neither would it have
| them 50 swathed in clothes as to refute to
the eye ali the anatomy of the books, and
raise suspicion that these lovely visions
are constructed like mermaids, or wrapt
about after the fashion OF the evasiye spritcs
that stole away the reason Of poor Robert
Dale Owen. 1t is reasonable to presume,
| says the Courier, that God knows how to
build 4 woman and that having finished
piece Of work OF that kind and pronounced
it very good, he does not require or desire
it 10 be so adorned that it can only be rec
ognized, in its structural grace and beauty,
by an act Of blind laundering faith. Hence,
after these many years OF multifarious and
unsolvable wrapping, we are inclined to re-
gard the pinned-back skirt As a revelation,
with the finger OF Providence in it, in
tended to revive confidence in the
first chapter of Genesis, and TO re-
store to cheating and doub ing world
the old conceptions of the female form di-
vine, which the ancients made classic in
their history, their poetry and their sculp-
ture. 1t does not follow that all display
should be sacrificed in this reformatory
tightening OF the front breadths of the skirt
On the contrary, there is still room, and 10
spare, for all the richness OF texture and
color that the most aiiluent can afford.
The simple dress in which Homer embodied
Helen-the same that Aspasia and Cleo
Patra wore-wanted nothing in magnifi-
cence by reason of being fitted as to reveal
the outlines of the limbs. Peirarch's Laura
had only two dresses for state occasions
both cut to fit the figure almost like a
glove; but the plainness Of pattern did not
prevent their being splendid with gay, pro-
fuse and costly charms of hue and trim
ming. There is no limit, and there should
be none, to the possibilities of brilliancy in
wOman's attire. Only let the spectacle I've
honest, consistent and harmonious. To |
quote from NJ. Blanc's studies in this branch |
OF art-for art it is. of persuasive and fas-
cinating interest-"the picture should not |
be lost in the frame" The face alone is not !
all OF feminine beauty; and it is not too |
much 10 say with one OF our greatest lat |
ter-day philosophers, that The woman who |
but casts a shadow OF a graceful figure on !!
the wall confers favor on the world. |
Good luck to the pinnedback skirt, which
suggest more in the way OF wholesome and
felicitious reform than all the woman suf-
frage schemes that uneasy brains have ever
concOcted.

Kansas Cheese Factories.

Cheese factories have increased in mum.

two years, and so far as We have observed
reports from them they all seem to be doing
remarkably we'll AT least the success of 80
many Of them shows that the business de-
pends upon the sagacity with which it is
conducted, and that there is nothing in ou,
climate or grasses which renders the make
ing of good cheese in Kansas a matter of
more than ordinary difficulty.
With our cheap lands and abundant feed
We ought to be able to compete with any
part of the country in this business.
The cheese factories in New York depend

The feed of q COW costs double what it does
here. Labor is just-about as high. Hence
the Kansas cheese maker has largely the
advantage-an advantage which in the

Trigger. ana now Meets HIS Former Enc

Our readers probably remember the old
scout, Jimmy kannon, who was in our city
some months ago, and who attempted a
lecture at Longs Hall on the habits and
customs OF the "bloody Inji-ins," and who
failed most signally TO enlighten anyone,
from the fact that there was by far too
much room in tl8 hall. Well, after splurg :
ing it at heavy rate about two weeks
while awaiting the arrival of a large party
OF lllinoisans, which he was to lead over
the sandy deserts, through the mountain
passes, into the rich fields of precious metals
in Arizona, he was met by his confiding
party, and with il started over the X. T.
road, since which time he has been moving
on, and We are OF the opinion that he has,
at least part OF the time, executed some
very lively moving If We are 10 credit the

got of an Erie train at this place, and
passing over into New York State, stopped
over night At Barryville. On the following
morning they recrossed the river into Penn
sylvania and started for Shohola Falls,
six miles northwest, at or near which place
they had relatives residing. Depuy is a
great trout fisherman, and purchasing fish
ing rod and basket, the two arted on their
way. Depuy having concluded to fish in
the Shohola, they walked about a mile
when they reached the creek, and Depuy
commenced fishing. He tished for about
three miles, meeting with good success.
when the two coming to an open spot on
the right bank of the stream, SAT down 10
rest and lunch. While lunching Denny
had his attention directed to a small ridge
OF rocks on the opposite side OF the creek by
a peculiar rattling noise. He was satisfied
that a rattlesnake den was not far distant.
and calling his blind companions attention
to the fact, Depuy forded the stream.
Reaching the opposite shore. he walked a
few rods up the hill, when suddenly his At
tention was drawn to an old dried limb
upon which lay coiled hugh rattlesnake.
He halloed 10 his blind comrade TO ascer
tain whether he was in hearing distance.
and receiving an answer he returned and
assisted him across the stream. Together
the two walked to where Dupuy had seen
the snake, when Orfendoff sat down. Seiz-
ing stout stick, .Depuy approached to
within reaching distance, when he dealt
the reptile sudden blow, killing il instant
ly. No sooner had he killed the snake
than Orfendortf called to him, saving that
he felt something strange crawl over his
feet. Depuy started to return to his com
rade, when he observed huge rattlesnake
not more than ten feet distant from where
the blind man sat, and another not three
feet away coiled up and ready to spring.
Deyuy struck at the furthest snake but
missed it, the snake escaping into the rocks.
He requested Orfendoff TO remain perfectly
quiet, while he slowly approached to with

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
Supposed Suicide Of an Aged German
Threats Of Drowning Himself In the Mis-
souri, River.

Threats Of Drowning Himself IN the Mis-
souri, River.
Nicholas Ohler, a German, aged between
fifty and sixty years, and at one time watch
man at the calabose, occupied room and
kept batcI1lor's quarters in the house OF a
citizen OF South st. Joseph residing in the
rear of the Patee House, which place he
made his home until last Thursday, when
he disappeared, and no tidipgs since that
time have been received Of his where
abouts. He has two daughters and a son
in this city, the former of whom are men,
toned in paragraph below. He had fire.
quently made threats to take his own life,
and last Thursday repeated the assertion
that he intended so to do. On the night of
that day, at about eleven O'Clock. he re-
paired to his room, dressed himself in his
best clothes, and left the house without
word as to where he was going. In the af-
ternoon he told a friend he intended TO
drown himself, ard remarked that if he
were not in ST. Joseph Friday, he might
know he had carried out his pur-
pose of self-destruction. At the
same time he gave the keys Of his
trunk tn the person with whom he
was conversing, with the injunction to keep
them until they were needed. Nothing Sc
rious was thought OF the matter, however,
until Saturday, when it became generally
known that there was reason to believe that
Ohler had actually committed suicide.
Then, the person in charge of the keys
came up town, sought out an old acquain-
tance of the missing man, detailed the cir
cumstances above related, and showing in
addition the following letter, written in
German, and handed 10 him in person, by
the author, when they last talked to-
gether:
ST. JOSEPH, July %, 1875.
i tell goodbye to all my friends and ac-
quaintances in this world. Living, for me. !

children have been cast off, aSd am old |
now, and have to strive myself alone in the |
world. NICHOLAS OHLER.
While there may he a doubt As to wheth- !
er Ohler drowned himself, it is no more |
than fair 10 presume-from the two notes |
over his own signature, and ali the other I
in the same econnection-that |
he carried out his expressed determination,
and employed the means specified for the /
of a design which had |
evidently been on his mind for some time.
