Crimes and Crimina q.

Tuesday, Feb 27.-The statement in
last evenings ARGUS that Ben Stemple
had been in the penitentiary, he says, is
not true, Three or four years ago, Tom
Atkinson, Nick Newcomb and himself
stole lot of cigars valued at about $780,
from a man named Laden, in Moline.
They took the cigars to Charles Coyne' s
saloon in Davenport, and while there were
arrested by the Davenport police. Stem
pie, Atkinson and Newcomb suspicioned
Coyne with having giving them away
to the officers, but this he denied. Recent
ly, however, Atkinson was arrested in
Davenport, with party of others. charged
with robbing man of SAT in Billy May $
saloon, and to show Atkinson's character
he was asked if ne had not been arrested
for stealing the cigars. He had to ac-
knowledge the truth, but in turn he called
Officer Niles to the stand and made him
tell who gave them away"-and the
officer said it was Charles Coyne. This is
what caused the row between StempIe and
| Coyne-Stemple told him if he would
acknowledge the truth before the crowd II
was all right-but if he did not he (Stem
ple) would whip him. Coyne then stabbed
him. Stemple says Laden was paid for
his cigars and for not appearing at the
trial, ana that he was never in the penI-
Tertiary.
-Danz and Hopping, who are. under
| $500 bonds each to keep the peace, have
not yet procured security to their bonds

The Crime OF seauction in Iowa.

In Iowa, the crime of seduction is pun
ished by imprisonment the penitentiary,
and one j. S. Painter, a lawyer Of Ottum-
way, was recently tried before Judge
Knapp for the crime and sentenced TO two
years hard labor in the state prison, at
Fort Madison. In passing sentence upon
the prisoner Judge Knapp said:
The crime of which you stand convict
ed by the verdict of twelve of your peers,
after full and remarkable defense by
your attorneys, is regarded by all right
minded men as one of the most odious in
the whole catalogue; it is deliberate, per-
meditated and cruel 1t is not bold and
daring crime that strikes as strong men
tor revenge or plupder, but is crime COM
mitted against one weak woman,an usual
ly without any mitigating circumstances,
and | find none in your case.
'Ihe sufferer by your crime was a
fatherless girl, of limited education, and
was, and is, mainly dependent upon her
one time her guardian; you belonged to a
learned and honorable profession, you are
an attorney and counselor at law you
were professor of the religion of Christ,
you were a member of one of the leading
evangelical churches of the city; you oc-
cupied high social position; you had the
benefits of the teachings and example OF
excellent and undoubtedly pious parents,
both of whom, one now dead, and one now
living, | have known for more than 2C
years, and known only to love and esteem
them for their virtues Indeed, | have
known you from your early boyhood anC
it affords me no pleasure to speak of tht
character of the crime of which you have
been convicted. But | wish to impress
upon you, and upon all who hear me, th'
wicked character OF the crime of seduction
as warning to all, to forever shun an(
avoid it,"
The Tn City Times. (of Davenport il
speaking Of the affair says:
1--WE would advise some of Davenport
young bloods of the legal fraternity, an
some not quite so young, to..read and nee
the warning before the Times spots them.

Using Our Schools For Sectarian Ad-
yertising

Several complaints have been made to
as that, last week. bysdirection of Mr.. Nc
Kown, one of the board of education,
teachers were directed to give a notice in
their schools in relation to che religious
meetings in the city, Thiswas an act that
every teacher should have resented at
once and refused to perform 1t was the
prostitution of the school organization to
a sectarian and an unlawful purpose. 1t
was an act which every rightmiuded
Protestant should resent, and condemn.
The schools are created only for the pur-
pose of teaching children the common
branches Of an English education nothing
else. The teaching of any but the COM
mon branches of English studies in the
public schools is an outrage, a fraud upon
the taxpayers, and might be prevented,
either by resort to the courts or by cleo
ting men to the board of education who
understand what the schools were created
for The reading of the bible In the public
sch ools is an outrage which might be pre-
vented 10 the same way. In many cities
the practice has been abolished. 1t ought
to be abolished here, and people who wish
to preserve our public schools should think
of these things before an antagonism il
raised which will seriously impair thei
usefulness,
And now, when religious sect seeks tt
use the schools as an advertising medium
it is time to enquire whether our board o
education indorses the outrage. If so
then let the schools be used to advertis,
all the meetings in town; allsthe concerts
shows, and business also,

INTERMITTENT FEVER is SO common

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common 10
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhaations, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any Of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERS.
