THE DEAD OUTLAW.
Something Of the Man Who
Killed Jesse James.
Evidently in the Detective
Service.
The Body Closely Guarded by
the Militia.

ST. Louis, April 4-The Ford
brothers, one Of whom killed Jesse
James yesterday, reside on q farm
about two miles from Richmond. the
county seat of Ray county, this State.
Robert, who did the shooting, is only
about twenty years old. Their house
is said to have been the rendezvous Of
some OF the james gang, and
1t was there that Dick Little killed
Wood Hite, brother of Clarence Hite.
who was recently sentenced To twenty.
hive years in the penitentiary and is
now in prison. 1t is said that both
belonged to the James gang at one
time but this statement does not
seem to be verified. The family
came from Virginia fifteen
years ago, and has always been
considered respectable. For some
time past both brothers are believed
to have been in the detective SER
vice, and were specially engaged in
hunting out members of the James
gang. Their aunt, Mrs. Belt, is sup.
posed to be the lady who recently had
a secret interview with Governor
at Jefferson City. Gov
ernor Crittendeu, at the request of the
police authorities, ordered out some
of the st. Joseph militia last night to
guard the body of the dead outlaw.
as there seemedto be danger that there
would be an attempt to capture it.
He has also ordered out parts Of two
companies at Kansas City to serve as
guard at this place.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Michael SirOgOE.

Mlcnael StrOROn.
The realistic dramatic pageant in
five acts and with forty supernume-
raries drawn from among our citizens,
entitled Michael Strogoff," was pre-
scented for the first time in this city
last night to a good audience. This
play, which is in prologue, FIVE acts
and ten tableaux, was originally pro-
duced in this country at Haverly's
Niblo Garden and Booths New York
theaters, and its illustration is said to
have eclipsed anything ofthe kind ever
produced in America, even the great
Byronic pageant Of Sardanaralus. The
Imperial Guard of Russia, the mounted
trumpeters, the drum and fife corps,
the band of Gypsies, the dances, the
triumphal procession of the Khan of
Bokharra, followed by his guards,
slaves, Tartar chiefs, favorites, execu-
TONERS and other appurtenances, all
made up a brilliant spectacular enter
tainment of the most gorgeous charac-
ter. The grand ballet led by Mile.
Adele Cornalba, from La Scala, Milan,
aided by twenty.four coryphees, to-
gether with the strong dra-
matte action in depicting incl
dents and scenes in Strogoff's
journey from Moscow to Irkutsk, all
60 to make up an entertainment
Of a highly interesting and brilliant
description. The piece was fairly we'll
represented last night, though it will
be better tonight, a careful rehearsal
to-day aiding in the result. The play
is under the management of Mr.J oseph
Gulick, we'll known actor Of former
years, and who was last here with the
Abbott Opera Troupe, three years ago.

way bond counterfeiting cases. In brief,
the story is that, about May LIST, Samuel
Filker, who is known here as very sue
cessful detective,ga gave a hint that be could
surrender an original transfer plate of
the one thousand six per cent bond of
the issue of 1881, if the case of Doyle
then pending in the United States
court here could be continued. Filker
went with the plate which he had in
his possession to Washingtonin in company
with @. B. Farwell and John G. New,
who had examined it with experts. They
tried to secure an interview for Flicker
with Folger, who, however, refused
at first to treat with Flicker.
As result Filker threatened to take the
plates to Tilden, Randall and others.
However. the detective waited q
few days and Folger, whose views
had changed during that time. on &C.
count of some startling facts that had
come to his knowledge, received Filker
who tdisplayed letters of hearty en-.
dorsement from Mayor Harrison, Sheriff
Mum, Senator Logan and others that
gave hlm status at once with the sec.
retary.

The statement recently made that the
secretary Of the interior is disposed to
render decision restoring the Turtle
Mountain Indian lands to the public do
main is substantially correct. There is
little doubt. from conversation, that
he has reached this conclusion in his
own mind, and would have made de-
cision at once to that effect had not
bills been introduced in the senate and
house that somewhat complicated the
matter. There is little doubt, however,
that decision Of this kind will soon be
made. The judiciary committee Of the
senate, to whom the senate bill was re.
ierred. will probably report in favor Of
opening up that country. This fact may
cause the secretary to mako his deoision
immsdiatsly. At al events Il may no,

contending with floods and other ad-
versities, aud have always had an abid-
ing faith in the future greatness of the

Cleaning Black Silk.

The Partisan method of cleaning black
silk is great improvement over any
known. 1t is as follows: The silk must
be thoroughly brushed and wiped with a
cloth, then laid fiat on board or table
and we'll sponged with hot coffee
thoroughly freed from sediment by
being strained through muslin. The
silk is sponged on the side intended to
show; it is allowed to become partially
dry, and then ironed on the wrong side
The coffee removes ever particle of
grease. and restores the brllliancy of the
silk without imparting to it either the
shiny appearance or crackly or pape,
stiffness obtained by beer or any other
liquor. The silk really appears thicken-
ed by the process, and this good effect
is permanent. Our readers who will
experiment on an apron or cravat will
never again try any other method.
