End of a Desperado.

Jake Painter had his own way Ia Brown
County, Indiana, for number of years,
and bad way it was. His wife got a
away her husband and compelled her to
return to him, frightening her 80 thor
oughly that she remained. A neighbor
offended him, and he retaliated by poison
ing cattle, until the family moved away to
escape his persecution. He shot three men
who at various times opposed him, and es-
capped punishment through the cowardice OF
the witnesses. A few days ago he went to
Thos. Robinson's house, near by, and de-
nanded that Mrs. Robinson be given tc
him. 1t is not stated whether the woman
regarded the proposed transfer favorably
but Robinson certainly did not, and when
Painter threatened him with death for
refusing shot the bully dead.

efficient agent in distributing the flames !;
that o. B. Potter and his employees should
be censured for neglecting to apply to the
department of buildings for proper permit
for repairs, which would have caused an

A Sure Cure for Blind, Bleeding, Itching,

Williams Indian Ointment. A single box has
cured the worst chronic cases OF 25 or 80 years

bed), acts as a poultice, gives instant and pain
less relief, and is prepared only tor Piles, Itch

On last Tuesday a week three gentle

Long, from Neffsville, Lancaster county,
arrived in this place, intending to hunt
over the surrounding hills for partridges.
AS soon as they landed in this place
they started out, and, after appeasing
the wrath Of farmer On whose grounds
they were hunting, succeeded in bagging
few birds before dark. While here they
visited Mr.. John Groupe, formerly from
Lancaster county, who, while travelling
through the woods last summer found a
a nest of wild turkey eggs which he took
home and raised . couple of turkeys from
the eggs. These turkeys Mr.. Groupe had
in coop, and leaving one of them loose,
tho Nimrods of Neffsville pulled on il, but,
strange to relate, the turkey survived the
fusilade and made good its escape. Think
ing they would not run the risk of losing
the other, they shot it in the peb. The
gentlemen left on Friday, having shot IA
partridges and one wild turkey.
Come again, gentlemen, but let us know

Prayer and Praise.-Festisitiss and Merry
MakiDSs-fublic Amusoments and
Private Entertainments.
Thanksgiving is over, with its eating
and drinking, singing and PRAYING. In
Lancaster the day was very quiet one
on the streets, but very busy one in
nearly every household. The stores were
all closed, but the kitchens and dining
rooms were wide open-the stoves and
ranges were agl0w, and the sweet savors
of roasting poultry, and stewing fruits,
and boiling vegetables, We're grateful to
the nostrils Of grateful people, whose
gratitude to the Giver of all good took the
pleasant form Of gratifying themselves by
indulg;ng in square meal. Hundreds Of
young people, in business in distant
towns and cities, came bac!, to Lancaster
and spent their Thanksgiving with "the
old folks at home" AS far as heard from
the dinners were excellent, the poultry
tender and done to turn, the side dishes
appetizing, the pastry we'll baked, the
fruits and nuts tOothsoms, the wines ex-
hilarating and the company happy. II
anybody failed to get good dinner yes
terday his has failed To report his misfor-
tune.
Tho Servicesin the Churches
There wero services in nearly all the
churches in the forenoon. At Trinity
Lutheran, q very beautiful pyramid of
truth, grains and vegetables was erected

st. stephens Evangelical Church.
At St. Stephens Ev. church, corner OF
South Duke and Church street, the
pastor, Rev. f. Meister, after reading the
145 Psalm, preached THANKSGIVING SER
mon. He selected as his text Col. /, 13-
13: "Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made US meat to be partakels
of tho saints in light who hath delivered
us from the power of darkness, and hatl,
translated as into the kingdom of His own
dear son." The pastor pictured the bles-
sed results of the Christian religion and
what Christianity has done to remove tho
evils of the world and to promote the good
order, morals and the security of good So
