Yolo county, and their romantic capture.
Crum was an old cattle thief, and on being
taken to Stockton and finding his game up he
made a full confession, while Miner and
Miller turned States evidence. These con-
fessiors came just in time, and gave Sheriff
Cunningham, who has been especially vigi.

thrown upon the operations of the Williams

man Graves, the witness Williams SO much
desired but did not use, was one of the gang.
A number of Sheriffs got after Graves and
induced him to tell all he knew about horse

that if he told the truth, and made statements
that could be verified, they would not prose-

AN ORGANIZED BAND

OF stock thieves, whose field of action ex-
tends from the Oregon line to Southern Cali
fornia, and whose arrangements are complete
for the passage of stolen stock from hand to
hand, and in such way as to cover their
tracks well. That such gang has existed is
now certainly established and that it was a
stronger band than any supposed it to be is
also certain and that its operations have been
very extensive, and that it has confederaies
and agents in the vicinity of Sacramento, is
now equally well known. But this "confed-
Grafton - of rascals has now had its back
broken and its effectiveness crippled.
When the prosecution went to Williams he
refused "to talk" and the attorneys were
compelled to leave him.

RIcuMoND, Mo-, April l0.-Your paper
has treated the killing of Jesse James in =
very manly way, aud the press seems to be
in error in regard to the Fords. These
boys were born in Fauqier county, Nir-
slnia, and moved TO Missouri in 1871 and
settled ON farm few miles above Fred
elricks6urg, Ray county, and Just in
the edge of Clay. 1t is supposed

1871 j. T. Ford, the father, bought the farm
formerly owned by Thomas Duval, de
ceased, two and half miles north of Rich
mold, and moved to it with his family,
consisting OF Mrs, Balton, widowed
daughter and one single daughter and five
sons and his wife. J. 7. Ford, ir, died
about six months ago, and WilGur, the
second son, in February last. Charles, Bob
and Cap. are still living Suspicion soon
got out that Charles belonged 10 the gang
and then horse-stealing became common in
the neiGhborhood. Bob and Cap. would
make mysterious trips from home two
days to week at time, aad have been
known to bring home considerable money,
The "eldern brother whom Bob claims to
have come to Richmond TO clerk fer, all of
sudden raised $500 and opened a little
grocery store and oyster saloon, the old
man paid oil heavy mortgage on the farm
and the mystery has been, where did the
money come FROM About two and one.
half years ago Mrs. Il. rented the old Har-
bosom place, and she and Charles and Bob
pretended 10 20 farming for themselves,
and from that time until the raid in January
last they have been keeping headquarter
for the gang. After the killing of Jesse
James the authorities went to the place in
dcated by Bob Ford and cxhumed
the body of the socalled Wood Hite, and
everything goes to show that the tale of a
fight and about his being killed by Little

The Theme of Art,

The Cincinnati Enquirer reporter
who was interviewing Oscar Wilde in
that city said to the esthete Il am
going to tell you something that l
fear will shock you. Several years
ago one of our most promising young
artists was employed by number OF
our merchants to make series OF
pictures for the Vienna exposition.
He executed the commission, his pict-
ures attracted great attention, and
received a medal What do you think
was their theme ? Hog killing" But
Wilde failed to be shocked. He did
not know why hog killing might not
be artistically treated. "All through
Holland" he said, "you will see pict-
ures mostly of brawls in drinking
rooms. Yet every once in a while
you will see in one of them a gleam
of light streaming through the win
dow and tinting the glasses on the
table with all the glories of the prism.
Another will display bit of coloring
as warm and sweet as the kiss Of love.
The men who painted these pictures
poetized the subjects until the ordl-
nariness of their character is forgot
ten. All this shows that they were
earnest and sincere, and that their
heart was in their work. / have little
faith in young man who chooses
what are called heroic subjects for
his early efforts, 1t looks as though
he was depending on his subject, and
not on his own powers, for success
The lowliest subject, treated with
loving earnestness and sincerity, will,
if the artist is competent, give the
best results, just as the plainest words
are the most effective in the mouth OF
an actor"

Water and It's Uses.

We hardly realize how important a
part water plays in the life of the
globe. No water no vegetables, no
vegetables no animals, no animals no
men. Indeed water forms a large
constituent part of the whole yege-
table and animal world. Nearly
three-fourths of the human body is
water. The relations of water to
health, therefore, must be very i'm
portant. 1t is the great agent Of
change within the system. 1t gives
fullness and fexibility to the softer
tissues. 1t holds in solution the nu-
tritive substances, and by its agency
alone can they enter the system
and by the same agency the waste of
the tissues must be borne away.
Being perfectly neutral itself, water
becomes by its solvent power, sweet,
sour, salt, astringent, bitter, or poi
sonous, according as the body dis
solved possesses these properties. 1t
readily takes up either gases, liq-
uids, or solid substances, and diffus-
es them wherever it flows. We not
only drink water but we eat water in
all our food and it has been estimat.
ed that an adult man consumes from
seventy to ninety ounces each day.
OF course water is constantly es-
Gaping from the system, and carry

qualities may be harmless. and even
useful in hygienic point of view or
they may be hutful. Great cara
should be taken to guard against or,
ganc and mineral impurities in the
water we use. These may be either
mechanically suspended or dissolved
Organic impurities are derived from
many sources. Rain water brines
them down from the air, or roofs of
our houses cisterns receive them
from the leaking Of sinks or waste

means of floods, or by their near
proximity to drains, cess pools and

morbid effects of impure water often

forms OF disease. Impurities in wa

of carbonate of lime give no taste
and even twenty-five grains of sui.
phate of lime is hardly perceptible.
But it would be very harmful to take
50 much of these poisons into the
system. We could hardly afford to
wait for the effects, as a means of
discovering their presence. Distilla-
tion may be resorted to as a means
of purifying the water, but that is
also impracticable. Boiling and freez-
ing are more reliable as a means of
killing or removing the animal and
vegetable poisons. Chemical means
are sometimes employed for neutral,
izing the effect of those poisonous
substances, but the most effective
and practicable method of purifying
water is by filtration. Charcoal alone
will remove eighty eight per cent
of organic matter and twenty per
cent of mineral matter. .--Household,
