A LAD OF TWENTY PLANNING A
SERIES OF BURGLARfBS AND HIGH
WAY ROBBERIEs.
Independence, iowa, Nov. 2i.-Fred
Wilson, of Winthrop, this Stnte, is in
the Jail here for aseries OF burglaries and
robberies almost unprecedented in one
ofhisycars. He isabout 20 years old, and
was until last winter well thought of.
A few months ago he forged the name
of his employer to a check for 81 ,20C,
got the money, and went to New York
city, where with $500 he purchased
$4,000 of counterfeit bills. The coun-
terfeiters refused to deliver the stuff to
him in New York, but said they
would ship it by express to chicago.
He returned to Chicago, where he re-
ceived Il satchel by express from New
York, but on opening il he found that
he had been cheated by the dealers as
it did not contain dollar of the coun-
terfcit money.
While lounging around Chicago he
was arrested for forgery aud taken to
Independence and locked up. He
soon escaped and went to st. Louis,
but, in company with two notorious
rascnls, he soon returned to Winthrop
and entered on Il remarkable career of
crime. Concealing himself in the at.
tic of house occupied by family
named Tcrwilliger, he planned dozens
| n y
highway robberies, which his partners
executed. The whole community was
terrified by the mystery which sur
rounded the cracksmen. Cascade
Masonville, Dubuque, Cassvii!c, VIII
throp, East Dubuque, and many other
places were visited, and some rich
hauls were made. a daughter of the
Terwiligcrs, for whom Wilson pro-
fesscd deep affection, WAS the rccipi-
ent of many costly presents front him,
and she is also under arrest.
The other day he reuturod out OF
his hiding place, and was recognized
and arrested. The discovery of large
quantity of stolen goods led to his con
fession that he had planned all the
robberies OF the last few months. lie
implicated his acconpiccs, and they
were also arrested. Wilson said that
had he not been caught, the two banks
at Jessup would have been raided on
Sunday next while the people were al
church. Speaking of the success of
the gang Oh the highway, Wilson
said that they relieved only we'll
dressed men of their valuubles. 1t
was their intention in time to rob
from the rich and give to the poor,
and they anticipated that their career
would enable them to tackle such men
as Gould and Vanderbilt aud scatter
some of their millions among those
who were struggling for livelihood.
Wilson says that he has been in the
business "a short time only. but now
that Pm caught" he added, in my
early youth, | want to reform, and
can do it better in the pententiary.

The early return of the late cleo
tions appeared to indicate an almost
entire obliteration of the greenback
party. But later accounts correct this
impression. In some of the states tn e
party increased the vote cast for Wea-
yer for president in 1880. The green
back vote in Indiana is over le, 900. an
increase of 5000; while in Kansas it
runs up to 90, 421, an increase Of
nearly 1000. -HdrriSburg Patriot.

Senate expires then, and it has been announced
that he would retire to his beloved town or
bloomington and build hotel. 1t was not
thought possible for him to be reelected, since
he cannot vote for himself, and there is nobody
else in his party to vote for him. Now the
news comes that he hopes to be reelected, and
thinks the temperance question may III soiiio
wav bring him votes. How that is going to be
done we are not informed The Democrats OIL
the State are on the rumselers side oil the tenn
perance question, of course. Some OF tnen arc
much excited about it. In Chicago on tuesday
the Democratic County Convention adopted
n rattling resolution declaring prohibtory laws
to be "grOss insult to personal liberty ana
the Constitution of our free country" and assall-
Ing the Republican party for having the " au-
dacty to dictate such villanous measure
and expect to receive the suifrages OF a Tree
and enlightened people" In another part OF
the resolution the prohibitOry law is referred
to as abominable." This vigorous language
shows that the Democrats hope to gam votes
by opposing the temperance interest and 1t
may be that Judge Davis xpects they will gain
enough TO enable them to divide the Legis-
lature equally with the Republicans and thus
make an opening for the only real Independent
Senatorial candidate in the State.
This looks to us like very slim hope. Nhat
the Judge 5 temperance principles are we DO not
remember to have heard, but we should not
imagine that his brief and memorable crusade
As a reformer Of food and drink at Washington
would make him friends among the hungry ana
thirsty Democracy. When he was elected
President pro TEN. Of the Senate he reformed
the management of the Senate restaurant so
thoroughly that nobody was able to getanythlng
either eatable or drnkable out Of ii atterward.
If the Democrats do divide the control OF the
Legislature, therefore, it is hardly probable
that they would turn 10 the fence for candl-
date But there is very slight probability OF
their dividing the Legislature. II they take
the stand which the Chicago brethren have
taken, they will have smaller number OF
members in the next Legislature than they
have had for good many years. We are I'LL
able. therefore, to share in the Judges hope OF
returning to the Senate. Regarding his Pres
idential longing it is too early to express al
opinion. The foundation upon which he
builds it is not visible to the naked eye. But
whether he realizes it or not he will have the
consolation of knowing that he will pass INTO
history as unique figure in American politics.
He is the only man who has founded party
and kept it all to himself

pense them even after the close of regular bust
ness hours. Her charges were moderate. A
fee ranging from fifty to hundred forms was
asked for professional advice and amodicum of
poison If woman were well dressed and
had distinguished air she had to pay little
more for the resources Of the hag's art. About
thrty-fve dollars was an average fee.
The gypsy's business arrangements were SO
adroit that she escaped suspicion for long
period, although the increase in mortality
among the married men OF the vicinage was
most alarming. Even when rich peasant
named Kukin died in the village under crcum-
stances so unaccountabe as to render an inves-
tigatOn unavoidable, the intimations OF foul
play did not affect her reputation. The only
precaution which she neglected was the effect
ual removal of her only cOnfederate-her own
daughter. 1t may be that this fatal witness,
having a smatteIing of her mothers profess
sional knowledge, kept herself crammed with
antidotes and could not be killed even after her
life was threatened. Poisoned she was not If
the attempt were ever made. She lived to
quarrel with her mother over some property
and to denOunce Der before the village author
tiles She confessed that she had taken a bottle
of red liquid poison from the old woman's
hand and given it to Kulin's wife and sub
sequently she had seen the poison poured into
the good mans coffee. Kukn's wife and
Thekla Popov were Immediately arrested.
Evidence was rapidly collected until it was
learned that rs many as one hundred women
had been aided and allotted in numbering their
husbands. Indeed the list may be materially
enlarged, as there are many bodies still to be
disinterred aud subjected to chemical analysis.
Fortunate is the widow in those parts who
can prove to her neighbOrs' satisfaction that her
husbands dissolution was the most natural
thing i'll the world
A great majority of Theka PopOv's custom
ers were married women who were tired OF
their husbands and were anxious to be eman-
cipated in some expeditions way. Kukin's
widow was overheard while giving this explan-
alton of her crime swell, | am young and
"pretty while he was old and ugly. Why should
"he not have died ~ This was a conclusive
argument in her estimation, and hear
ing of the cIOne's magical prescriptions, she
consulted her in her gypsy's booth. A few OF
the prisoners patrons were unmarried women,
who were bent upon avengng their own
wrongs. To such exasperated and jealous
members of the common sisterhOOd OF woman
Thella POpOv freely offered her services. BUT
her heart was not III this branch OF the Dlsi-
ness. She affected the title of the Married
Woman ) Best Friend, and the bulk OF her
patrons were promoted through her hideous art
to the lot of widowhood. How many widows
she made during her medical career will prob
ably never be known unless she has kept
long string of beads Even the dead men when
exhumed do not invariably increase the count
for she pestled her pOisOns withrare discretion
The drugs acted very insidiously, the man dy-
ing bylnches unless his wife grew impatient.

IT is delightful to observe that the constant
contact with the base and depraved which the
nature of their duties imposes on our police
officials has not in the least clOuded the sim
plicitv and innocence of their fresh and I'M
stained natures. When captains talk without
wlnking about deserted gambling rooms in
their precincts, and assure the unsuspectlng
marine that faro and roulette have been prac-
tically suspended in this city for weeks, the
conclusion is inevitable that such guileless and
trustful beings are out of place III station
houses and should no longer be kept from the
private life which they are SO well fitted TO
adOIn.
