Kicked the Bucket,


Bill Elliott's blind steer has gone to
that bourne from whence good blind
steer was never known to re-
turn. 1t happened in this way: Bill
bought the steer from farmer
living in the upper part of this county.
On last Wednesday Bill went after the
steer, and it was late, between 8 and 10
O'Clock, when he reached the city on his
return. The ground was frozen, and
hard to walk over, so Bill concluded to
take the sidewalk for it, believing that
he could make the steer keep the road by
the usual "gce-wo-haw-Buck' whoop.
The steer went along we'll enough for a
hundred yards or so, and until he
reached point a short distance above
Col. Taylor's residence, when he got toe
near the side Of the road, and before Bill
could get to him, fell over the embank
ment, and in the fall succeeded in putting
an end to his misery by breaking hi
neck. Bill don't want to buy any more
blind steers. His experience with thi!
one has convinced HIM that "blind steer:
are mighty uncertain"

Circuit Court,

In the circuit court Yesterday the case
of Laura A. Henricks vs.. the trustees Of
school district No. ), township Is, south
range one west OF the third principal
meridian, Pulaski county, was ON trial.
1t seems that there was two schools in
the district, one Tor white children,
and another for colored children.
Miss Henricks was engaged to teach the
white school. From the evidence aduced
on the trial it seems that about two
months after the opening of the schools,
the colored school was broken up, and
the parents of the colored children
claimed the right to send them to the
same school with the white children
taught by Miss Henricks. 70 this
the trustees objected, and rather than
submit to the colored children attending
the school, dismissed the teacher.and lock
ed the school house up. Miss Henricks
engagement was for five months. and she
claims that the school was broken up by
the trustees, and not by any fault OF
hers; hence she brought suit against them
for pay for the full term tor which she was
employed to teach. Hon. John Nj.
Lansden and Geo. w. Henricks appeared
for plaintiff, and Judge Mulkey for the
trustees. The trial occupied the atten.
ton Of the court throughout the day,
and was given to the jury ata late hour
in the evening. The verdict will prob
ably be announced this morning.

Relief without a Doctor.

Though we would by no means be un-
derstood as deprecating, but rather as
recommending, professional aid in dis
ease, there are multitudes OF instances
when it is neither necessary or easy to
obtain. A family provided with COM
prehensive household specific like Hos

medicinal resource adequate to most
emergencies in which medical advice
would be otherwise needful. That ster-
ling tonic and corrective invariably reme-
dies, and is authoritatively recommended
for debility, indigestion, liver disorder,
and irregular habit of body, urinary and
uterine troubles, incipient rheumatism
and govt, and many other ailments of
frequent occurrence. Ii eradicates and
prevents Intermittent aud remittent fe-
vers, relieves mental dependency,
checks premature decay, and invigorates
the nervous and muscular tissues.
Sleep, digestion and appetite are pro-
noted by it, and it is extremely useful In
overcoming the effects OF exhaustion and

Several days ago well-dressed and
modest appearing young woman named
Sarah May called at Judge Bross' Office,
and applied for warrant for the arrest
of young man named Henry Riddle,
whom she charged was the father of an
illegitimate child which she held in her
arms. The warrant was placed in
Constable John Gains hands
for service. A day or two ago Cain sue
ceeded in capturing Riddle, and took
him before Judge Bross, when the case
was set tor hearing yesterday. At the
appointed hour yesterday morning
all the parties were in court. Miss May
was accompanied by her father, rather
fine looking gentleman of perhaps fifty
years. The child, bright and pretty
little boy one year old, was
with its mother. Riddle. who is herhap's
twenty-five years of age, and son of the
late DR.. Riddle Of Pulaski county, was
accompanied by his mother and several
young gentlemen friends. Lawyer An
derson of Mound City, appeared for Rid
die. and d. Il. Linegar of this city, for
Miss May. The case was called at ten
O'Clock, when Mr.. Anderson applied for
change Of venue to some other justice
OF the peace. The change was granted,
and the case sent to Justice of the Peace
Dick Fitzgerald. Squire Fitzgerald be-
ing i'm the court house, Judge BrOss va
Gated the bench and Mr.. Fitzgerald took
his place. Miss May was the first wit
ness sworn. She testified that she lived
with her father near Caledonia, Pulaski
county. Her age is twenty one years. She
became acquainted with Riddle in March
1875. She met him at party at her
fathers house. Her first criminal init
macy with him was shortly after their first
meeting, and her child was born at the
house OF a friend in Cairo on the l4th OF
January, 1876. She was never crimi'
nally intimate with any other person
She brought this action against Riddle to
compel him to support the child. This
was the sum and substance OF her testi
mony, and the prosecution stated tina
they did not desire to introduce an!
further evidence. Riddle, the defendant
was sworn. He did not deny the pa
ternity Of the child. In fact Riddl
didn't deny much of anything, and wa
allowed to leave the witness stand with
out REORGANIZATION. Mrs. Riddle ant
young man named Eckols, were ais
sworn, but their testimony was unimpor
tant. They knew nothing that had an.
bearing on the case, and they were no
cross-examined. Mr.. Anderson made
lengthy speech in which he endeavore.
; TO convince the court that Miss May
testimony was not to be relied upon. Mr.
Lingar submitted the decision OF TIN
case to the court without argument. TN
~, result was that Riddle was required Z
. give bond in the sum of six hundred dol
lars for his appearance at the next teri
OF the county court to answer the charg
l Of bastardy.
