SOME REASON FOR OUTCRY.

The Star Route people and their friends
at Washington are insisting with great
vehemsnce that Mr.. A. NJ. Gibson is
without due authority to act in behalf of
the United States Government, and that
his report upon certain phases of the Star
Route business ought not to be taken
into account. Apart from the issue of
fact which is here raised, the cutlery
against the acceptance or consideration
Of the report is suggestive. Unless the
report were damaging, Mr.. Gibson's au-
thority to make it would not be so loudly

TSHERE MUST BE SUPERLATIvE INDUCEMENTS
offered by us to influence purchasers to throng our store
while other dry goods merchants are comparatively idle. The
REAL BASIS OF OUR SUCCESS is the Low PRICE we
quote on every article. All the sweet .'tahy " that is given will
not build up a trade. Beside the superior advantages we offer
in prices. we display a stock of goods that, by comparison, looms
up as a giant among pigmies. Our immense store-room-25x1OO
feet-is crowded with every novelty of the season. THESE r
FL REASONS WHY WE TOOK THE LEAD AND COM
TINUE TO KEEP 1T, efectually barring all competition.
We do not attempt to enumerate the many articles we carry
in stock, for the reason that the Sentinel columns would not be
large enough to accommodate a fraction of them. WE QUOTE
NO PRICES. IT is NOT NECESSARY. But bring in anv
price list you find and we promise to discount it.

Shocking Cruelty to Children.

A terrible story of cruelty to children
is told by correspondent: The victims
are orphans who were sent from various
asylums of the Quaker City to Delaware.
Tom, little boy, in the household of
Sussex farmer-Reuben Johnson-was
worked almost to death, and during the
cold weather was furnished with such
an insufficient supply of clothing that
his feet were frozen and the flesh drop
ped of from the toes, the frost bitten
flesh extended to his knees. This poor
little boy, with pair of nearly worn
out brogaps, had been on the morning
of December 80, when the mercury was
seventeen degrees below zero, in the
face of driving snow storm, sent to
protect his masters unhusked corn from
the cows and crows. He remained
standing around In the snow until
o'clock, when he drove the cows home
received piece of cold corn pone and
was sent out in the snow again to chop
stove wood until dark. Having no bed,
he slept that night in front of the fire
place, with his frozen feet buried In
warm ashes. The following day he was
hardly able to walk, and from that time
forward he suffered intensely. This is
only, however, hint of the shocking
story. Johnson was arrested and fined
$32. The boy's feet had to be cut off and
he is in danger of losing his legs.

A Sad Case.

A Tuesdays despatch from Milwaukee
says: Coroner Hickman was yester-
day notified that dead body lay in a
house on the plank road, short dis
tance from the city limits. On proceed
ing to the place lie found a family in a
horrible state of destitution. The In
mates consisted of the mother, Ill from
giving birth to child eight days before,
and which had been dead in the house
for two days, and four children rangingI
in age from ten years down. The fami-
ly had had no food for forty-eight hours
other than scrapings from an old swill
barrel which had formerly been used in
carrying slops from distillery. The
squalor and filth of the place is describ-
ed as sickening to the last degree. The
father, Ernest Latz, is in Jail awaiting
trial for the theft of an old harness.
He completed term of sixty daysin the
house of correction on Monday for some
petty ofIanse, and was at once rearrested.

A Death-Bed Confession.

A Bloomington, ILL.,, despatch says:
George M. Roush, prominent stock
raiser, died three years ago suddenly one
night in his bed. 1t was supposed to be
heart disease. His estate, amounting to
$4,000, was divided among his three
children and wife, the latter following
him to his grave about year later. The
eldest son, Peter, went to Northern
Iowa, succeeded in adding to his wealth,
married wealthy, and was accounted a
valuable citizen. A few days ago he
died. When informed he could not live,
in the presence of physicians and his
family he made confession that he had
murdered his father in order to get a
share of the property. Mr.. Roush was
in the habit of placing glass of water
near his bed, and Peter slipped into his
room and emptied poison in the water,
which his father unsuspectingly drank
in the night.

QUITE a furry in the stock market
occurred on Friday last, stocks falling
from to 20 per cent. The cause is laid
to the action Of the banks which con-
tracted their volume of currency nearly
thirteen millions of dollars by taking up
bonds and returning their notes to the
treasury. This action on the part of the
banks was taken because they dislike
the section in the new funding bill,
which compels them to use the new
three per cent. bonds as basis for their
currency, and from appearance this bill
will pass, though there is a hope that
the president will veto it. The Secretary
of the treasury attempted and partially
succeeded in stopping the panic by call
ing in ten millions in bonds and thus
relieving the market to that extent.

A Fellow Who Wants Lynchlng.

A despatch from Richmond, Indiana,
Tuesday states: Walker Amos has en-
tered a plea of guilty to the charge of
kidnapping, and has confessed that he
enticed small boy, named Adolphus
Williams, from his home, No. 3C3 Bright
street, indianapolis, and started on foot
with him towards this place. They
walked sixteen miles the first day, and
when the boys feet became sore Amos
made cat o'nine- tails out of rope
and lashed the boy to make him walk
on, whipping the boy until he almost
tainted. They walked on to Richmond,
begging as they went, the boy being for
hidden on the pain of death to make
any complaint. At this place he took
another little boy named Ratliffe, and
started on towards Pittsburg, compell-
ing the boys to walk over frozen roads,
and beating them numerically when
ever they complained. They had reached
Troy, Ohio, when they were overtaken
by persons from here and brought back
to this place. Amos says he intended to
take the boys to Harrisburg, Pa, to his
mother, and have her raise them. The
fellow is light t-colored mulatto, very
tall and slim. He says he was porter
in disreputable saloon in Chicago dur
ing the winter.

A Girl Changes Her Mind.

Earnest Graham and Belle Roper
started from Clement, ILL.,, for st. Louis,
where they were to be married. They
were accompanied by Lewis Lindsay,
who was to be the groomsman at the
wedding, and a party of relatives and
friends. Their train was delayed, and
they did not arrive in st. Louis until
too late to have the ceremony performed
at the appointed time. But postpone
ment was not the only disarrangement
of the programme. Miss Roper an
nounced that, during the journey, she
had changed her mind and would not
marry Graham, but would request the
clergyman to make her the wife of
Lindsay, which was done.

GB- The father of Charlie Ross, writing
to the latest discoverers of the lost boy
in Canada, says that the last spark of
hope has gone out, and he mourns the
lost one as dead. After giving reasons
why the Canada boy cannot possibly be
Charlie, he adds 81 have always be-
lieved that my Charlie, although only
years and 2 months old at the time he
was taken, would remember his brother
Walter, who was taken away with him,
and had also thought that he would even
have distinct recollection of the feeling
of loneliness that he must have expert
enced when he found he was in the
hands of strangers and separated from
his parents" On another recent occa-
sion, Mr.. Ross said 1.-THE only tidings
1 have ever received of Charlie since he
was stolen was the demand for a ran
som of $4,000. If / had paid that, 1
would have had him long before this.
AS it is, have spent $50, 900, and have
not got him."

eg9 About half-past one o'clock on
Thursday morning, fire was dis
covered in the drug store of Solan Bros,
East Liverpool, Ohio. 1t is supposed
that Solan being new conner did not
understand the heavy pressure at times
of the natural gas and left it burning in
the store over which he and his family,
wife, seven children and brother-in-
law, Mr. Skells, were sleeping. When
Solan discovered the fire he awoke
the family and found the stairs had
burned away. He took his daughter
three years old and leaped from the
window to the ground. He told his
wife, who had the baby in her arms,
and the children to follow. Solan broke
his leg in jumping. The wife and chill
dred failed to jump and were burned to
death also, Mr.. Skells. The bodies
were found next morning-the wife,
with the baby in her arms, both burned
to crisp. The five other children were
found huddled closely and Skells was
probably smothered by the smoke.
