THIEVES FOILED.
How Elder Duncan Stopped Their
Little Game This
Morning.

A bold piece of thieying was attempted al
the depot this morning while No. g, the
west-bouud passenger train, was standing
there. In one of the coaches was an old
gentleman named John Miller, en- route
from Ohio to Kansas. His verdancy was
apparent, and attracted the attention of
three thieves, who laid for him. Miller
got up and started to walk through the
aisle, when the three crooks crowded
around him, and promiscuous hustling
was inaugurated, during the course Of
which one of the thieves attempted to
reach his hand in the old gentleman's
pocket.
Elder Duncan was occupying a seat OPP
posite, and had witnessed the entire
transaction. Just as the thief was
about TO get in his work,
Mr.. Duncan called out: "Look out there,
my friend; these men are trying to rob
you," and at the same time he tapped on
the window pane for Officers Jim Gossage
and Charlie Barnett to enter the coach.
Instantly the thieves desisted in their
work and fled, but not bit too soon, for
as they were making their way across the
K 4 7. train, which was on the adjacent
track, the blue coats entered the coach and
learned what had transpired. They at
once started out in search Of the slick
ones, but were unable 10 apprehend them,
as they had made their way up into town
This is circus day. it must be remem-
bered, and little things of this kind are to
be expected.

The Skeletons Death.

Martin P. Avery, who has been billed at
Bunnell's museum for the past month as a
Living skeleton" died last evening in his
rooms at the museum. Avery was we'll
known in the show business, and had trav-
eled and been exhibited all over the ccun-
try.
He was born in New Berlin, Chenango
county, N. Y, As years ago, and was FIVE
feet eight inches high, but was SO enact
ated that he weighed only As pounds. In
infancy and boyhood his physical develop
ment was normal, but on reaching man
hood he became a sufferer from dyspepsia,
and wasted away under the disease until
he became sufficiently attenuated to be TT
ted for exhibition as a curiosity.
His suferings from dyspepsia, which
had become chronic, continued, and for
several days before his death he had COM
planned of feeling even worse than usual
DR.. Smith says that the cause of his
death was Inflammation of the pancreas
and dyspepsia. Avery leaves a widow in
New Berlin, where the body will be buried.

The Circus Lion.

Whenever den of open lions is exhib-
tied in the streets, there is ALWAYS some
one around to remark what dark, pierre
ing eve the trainer has, and how he is
compelled to watch the beasts to keep them
from mounting his frame and eating his
flesh. We were particular to-day to look
into the open den of lions as it passed down
street, and observed: l. That the trainer
had sore eyes, and was compelled to shade
them from the sun with q red handker-
chief. = Tha; the furious beasts were all
asleep. s. That when the trainer looked
around at all, he ogled the girls, and spit
the remains OF black tobacco through the
bars. The facts probably are that circus
lion is rs tame as a house dog, ant that
any employee of the company who has moth
ing else to do can ride i'm their cage on the
street.

Sedalia'e College.

One of the most progressive and thriv-

City, Sedalia. Its one drawback has
been educational institutions. Its citi-

number of wealthy inhabitants have
been perfecting a plan for the establish
ment of a university, which is now
complete. A purchase has been made
of the Barrett hotel and twenty acres of
land adjoining, which are located in the
southern suburbs. Money will be raised
at once to put the fine property in shape,
SO that the institution can be opened in
next September. The following faculty
has been chosen: Rev. Charles Little.

A True Blessing.

1t would indeed be blessing to poor,
weak, nervous, debilitated, suffering hui
manity, If druggists would stop selling the
many vile purgative pills and cathartic
compounds advertised for the cure OF liver
complaint. Although they afford tempo
rary relief, at the same time they weaken
the digestive organs, and compel con-
slant and increasing use of the same.
Sufferers from dyspepsia and liver COM
plant do not need cathartic, bu. should
use some true medicinal tonic that will
strengthen the digestive organs and heal
the diseased tissues of the stomach, liver
and bowels. Such a remedy is Browns
Iron Bitters, and 1t never fails to effect 8
permanent cure. II you continue TO live
in poor health, and are determined to die
before your time, you have only yourself
to blame.

They Were All Poor Bows.

An exchange eulls the following his
torical facts, which should encourage
every young man struggling under dis
couragements and poverty:
John Adams, second President, was
the son of a farmer of very moderate
means. The only start he had was a
good education.
Andrew Jackson was born in a log hut
in North Carolina, and was raised in tie
pine woods for which the State is ia
nous.
James K. Polk spent the earlier years
of his life helping to dig living out
of new farm in North Carolina. He
was afterwards a clerk IN country
store.
Millard Fillmore was the son of a
New York farmer, and his house was a
very humble one. He learned the busi-
ness of clothier.
James Buchanan was born in small
town among the Allegheny Mountains.
His father cut the logs and built his
own house in what was then wilder
ness.
Abraham Lincoln was the son of a
very poor Kentucky farmer, and lived
in log cabin until he was twenty-One
years of age.
Andrew johnson was apprenticed to
tailor at the age of ten years by his
widowed mother. He was never able
to attend school, and picked up all the
education be ever got.
General Grant lived the life of COM
mon boy in a common house on the
banks of the Ohio River until he was
seventeen years of age.
James A. Garfield was born in log
cabin. He worked on the farm from

carpenters tools, when he learned the
trade. He afterwards worked on the
canal.

The Dying Child.
BY HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON.

| BY HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON.
Mother, am tired; l long to sleep so
Let thy bosom oe nay sleeping place
Only promise me thou wilt not weep So
For thy tears fall burning on my face.
Here It's cold, and there the clouds are
fleeting;
But in Dreamland there are sunny
skies;
And the angel children give me greeting,
Soon as l have closed my weary eyes.
Dost thou see that angel coming, mother ?
DoSt thou hear the music of his wings
White they are; they shine on one an
other;
Beautiful from God the light He brings
Rosy wings are coming too, ,fromHeaven; /;
Angel children wave them as they fly
Mother, shall live till mine are given !?
Or, before get them, must 1 die?
Mother, wherefore dost thou look so
earnest?
Wherefore dost thou press thy cheek
to mine?
Wet it feels, and yet like fire thou
burnest;
Surely, mother, shall still be thine!
Thou hast promised me thou wonldst
not weep SO;
If thou sobbest, I shall sob with thee
oh, am so tired; long to sleep sol
Mother, lookl the angel kisses me.

THE sermon with which the Rev.
Geo. C. Min astonished his Unitarian
congregation in Chicago, by a renuncia-
tion of belief in God or future life, was
bitter attack ON Christianity. Speak =
of the general disbelief in hell, he said /:
Yet defenders of conservative theology
would do we'll to guard strongly the
gates of hell, for when they fall the
chief scourge in the hands of the church
has lost its lash. Nayl the system then
already totters to its fall; for the foun-
dations of orthodoxy are laid in the bed
of hell" As TO the doctrine of eternal
existence, he admitted its comforting
influence, but added: If l could believe
there were a future life, how gladly
wonld let loosemy Indignation 10 pie
ture its possible glories. Not the gentle
John himself should beat the air with
more eager piniOn to reach the gate
which I woud fsign believe opens upon
the fields of paradise. But, friends, |
cannot afford to deceive you. and so
say that however beautiful the dream
may be, the chance of its fulflment
seems to me remote and improbable"
He thinks the churches Of u century
hetce will teach morality for its own
sake, and leave the question of future
life to speculation. Mr.. Min was lately
a Congregationalist. The Chicago church.
which he now gives up was formerly
the Rev. DIR. Collysrs.

IT is stated that Pope Leo XIII. has
under serious consideration the appoint.
ment of representative in this eouE-
try whose functions shall correspond
with those of the Papal Nuncios at the

would not be surprising, considering the
large growth of the Roman Catholic

milton of his temporal power from this

How to Find Mercury.
Providence Journal.


The observer must note carefully the
point of the horizon where the sun sets
then seven degrees to the north and
nearly one-sixth of the distance from
the horizon to the zenith toward the
east, and, at 6 o'clock. he may hope for
glimpse of the shy planet that many
ancient astronomers longed to behold
and died without the sight. 1t is sur
prisingly easy to keep the track of Mer-
oury after he has once been found. He
takes on as many colors as a chameleon,
sometimes shining with white blue
light like Sirius of lesser glory-some-
times with decided yellow. He de6es
the law that planets may be known by
the absence of twinkling, for he is as
brilliant a twinkler as if he were a
sun in space instead of the smallest
world that borrows light from the CEN
tral luminary of the solar system.
