Coueh GotdiaI. sold in the northwest with
in the past year, on guarantee to refund the

Horrible and Mysterious Murder.

vas LETT alone in the house, the brother going
to 4 store about a mile distan {. He was gone
about one hour, and upon returning horri-
bic scene was presented. John was lying on
the floor, his body covered with blood, his
head nearly severed from the body, and long,
deep cuts about the head and face. The body
was also badly cut, and blood still flowing
from the numerous wounds. Lying by the
side Of the body was a large hatchet with
which the terrible deed was committed. The
object is supposed to nave been money. Las
week the man sold COW for $50, and on the
fatal day received the amount for the sale OF
some calves. This money is missing, and
was undoubtedly taken by the murderer.

The BandIrtf Not Wanted in Missouri.

-. Louis Timcz.
If the authorities of NOrthiield have
succeeded in killing or capturing the North
field bank-rObbers, they have done well and
ought to be satisfied. 1t IS certainly out Of
place, however, for the governor of Mime
sofa to expect the governor OF Missouri to de-
tail a special commissioner at the expense OF
the State, TO ascertain whether the captives
or cOrpses, as the case may he, belong TO the
James Younger family. 1t is not matter OF
sufficient public interest to warrant the
action that the Minnesota governor requests
and Governor Hardin does perfectly right in
declining thus to so outside Of his magister-
ial province, tor tine sake OF gratifying mere
spirit Of public curiosity. The criminals,
whoever they are, are beyond his jurisdic-
ton and likely to remain so, il the Minnesota
courts have evidence enough 10 convict the
survivors; and even were it otherwise-even
we're they "Jameses'' or 'sYOungers" there
is no indictment against them here, nor any
around on which a requisition could be is
sued To bring them here.

Z NEW SwINDLING DODGE.-Farmers
should be on their guard. A new dodge
ofswindling has been put in operation.
Several strange men drive through an
agricultural district, stop at all the farm
houses and make q contract to take all
the butter the farmer can furnish at
fifty cents per pound, Further, it will
be gathered up by fast special teams
and the cash paid for it at the door.
The pretense is that during the fall and
winter the large cities will be over
crowded, and that butter will he scarce
In this way allthe farmers are con-
tracted with, and arrangements are
made to come for the butter on certain
days and at certain points, the contract
to go into effect in two weeks. A few
days after the departure of the men a
drove of cows come along. They are
fine milch cows. The farmers having
2 good thing III view, think they might
use u few more cows. They try to buy
them, and the drOver doesn't seem
anxious to sell. Finally, however, ,,he
is induced to sell two or three to each
farmer at prices considerable higher
than the real market value. He then
departs, meets his partner, Who put up
the butter :Ob, and they divide their
profits. That is the last the farmers
hear of it. ie.5rie ta

to be a strong argument against a life

their hold. They seem to think some-
how, that official position is secured

Wisconsin Relics of the Mound BuiIders
st Louis Republican. Oct. 2Gth
Last week a party of scientific ex-
plorers made some very interesting
discoveries in the neighborhoud OF
Milton, Wisconsin. There are there a
number Of mounds, which recent arch.
eOlOgical investigation has referred to
that mysterious race which inhabited
the central portion of North America
long before the present aborigines OBJ.
tanned a foothold here. Selecting the
largest OF these mounds the explorers
dug trench from its outer edge to
the center, thirty ieet long, five feet
wide, and about the center attaining
q depth of ten feet. About loot
from the bottom, at the deepest part
o! the excavation, layer of ashes and
decayed wood was laid bare. A few
inches below this was hard deposit
resembling mortar, and beneath were
found the remains OF four adults and
two children. That they belonged to
the race Ofmound builders is inferred
from the fact that there had previous
ly been exhumed, only eighteen inches
below the surface, complete Indian
skeletons. Na
The other, and vastly more import
ant relics, were eight and halt feet
lower down. The first of these, the
skeleton of q man, lay with the head
to the west in reclining position. AT
the knees, near each hand, were two
composed OF the teeth OF
some wild animal, abont four inches
long and having holes bored through
for the string which attached them TO
the wrists. Close by was the skull,
but SO badly decayed as to prevent re-
moval. a little to the south of the
skull were four perfest flint arrow
heads, as clearly cut AS if the work
had been done by the best modern
machinery. Lying around and under
the shoulders were twenty-nine beads
manufactured from small shells, and
perforated SO as 10 be worn as neck
lace. Evidently this was the skeleton
OF some famous parsonage, for among
the bones of the five others no orna-
ments whatever were found. The
chiefs companions were arranged
about him TO the west, northwest and
east. In the jaw-bone ofone was
partly developed wisdom tooth, and
most of the jaw bones aud teeth were
IN good preservation.
