banks funds. and 5000 belonging to
the town. The beroism of the muir
dered man now appears greater than
at first supposed. The fact that the
cash tray had not been returned to
the safe, makes it probable that the
burglar chest was not locked at the
tine of the attack. Those knowing
the ways of the business at the bank
say that it was Mr.. Barron's custom
not to lock the burglar chest during
the day, only to turn the knob suff1-
GENTLY to hold the door In place.
This chest was found fully locked
after the murder. 1t seems likely
from the wSy Mr.. Barron was treat

this cheet was locked and command

In the good old sober republican days,

And ice when the winter came round

But the Democrats now manage things as

And we're too near hell to have q hard

The present seems to be an era OF
crime, which is largely attributable, no
doubt, to the hard times Doubtless
financial troubles induce many to do
wrong who are naturally honest, and
whose business lives are circumspect
when all is smooth sailing, but sdver-
sity tests their integrity. 1t is custom
airy to sympathize with the individual
who has been forced, as it were, from
the path of rectitude, by adverse cir
cumstances. Undoubtedly large por-
banefhl. Misfortune is not q legiti-
mate excuse for crime. This mawk-
Ish sympathy is an incentive to crime

Good luck for 1he GerRaEn
RfRsRa.

The committee on Indian affairs of
the Senate have agreed TO report fav-i
orably the House bill providing for
the relief OF Catherine and Sophie
German. The bill is something novel
in legislative history. &c authorizes
the Secretary of the Interior to reserve
from that portion OF the annniCies due
the Cheyenne Indians the sum of S5,-
600, half of which amount is TO be paid
10 Catherine and half to Sophie Ger
man. These girls are aged respective
ly eighteen and thirteen years, and
were captured by the Cheyenne In
di ans while en- route from Georgia to
Colorado. The Secretary of the In
terror is TO retain this sum, which will
bear interest, for the proper main
tenance of the two girls until they
shall become of age, when the whole
sum, principal and interest, shall be
paid. This is new departure on the
part of Congress, and has for its pur-
pose the idea of making the Indian
tribes responsible for the wrong doings
of their members, and in that way
making them more watchful in pre-
venting such.-Chicago Times.

The weather is fine, and roads dry though

shippers got to 'bucking' each other Wednes-
day, and run the price up to 81 cents, and
may keep that fun up for few days. 20 to -
cents, however, is what they can afford to pay,
and we quote at that figure. Hogs will come
up for June shipping, but probably not be-
fore. The season for gra and planting is
early, and the farmers are very busy ploWing
and preparing to plant. A cut on freights
would send corn up temporarily, and we ad-
wise farmers to watch the market closely.
