authorities here believe they have at last
captured old man Bender, the Kansas
butcher. His arrest was made last Tues

the affair secret. r.
The circumstances Of the arrest. are as
follows; Herman Fl. Green, a German,
who resides in this city, aud formerly a
private in the Sixth United States Infant
try, and in 1871 was stationed at Usage
Station, Kansas, seven miles from which
point John Bender and family resided.
He saw Bender several times every week.
as the latter brought his vegetables to the
camp to sell, ana knew him well Last
Monday be saw three men in a skiff on the
river In North st. Louis, one of whom he
declared to be John Bender. The police
were informed, and the men were arrested.
Two of them gave the names OF August
Kloots and Charles Hammond. The man
supposed to be Bender gave the name Of
John Baells. His two companions stated
that they lived in Usage County, Missouri,
and had come down the river intending TO
go to Arkansas. They met the old man, who
called himself Baells, a few weeks ago
and he wanted to accompany them, and
finally they consented. Kleots and Ham
mond were released, and BaelIs has been
held in confinement since. Green is a
man OF good character and antecedents,

WHAT IS THE OHIO POND BILL?

Whatever effect the passage of the
Pond pill by the Ohio Legislature may
nave had on the spring elections, it is GER
tain the liquor GealerS made a grave mis-
take in charging their grievances upon
the Republican party, and in seeking to
defeat It's candidates by demogogic
appeals. What is the Pond bill, that it
should be denounced as "unsurpation
of power" an act of shameful injustice"
and violation Of the sacred principles
Of personal freedom and property rights"
The bill is nothing more nor less than
a measure to regulate and restrict the
traffic in alcoholic liquors. 1t imposes a
tax upon all engaged in the business, and
compels them to give bonds for the faith
ful performance OF the conditions of the
act. The saloons are classified; those out
side of villages are to be taxed 800 each
those within towns or villages ofless than
1900 inhabitants, $3.50; in villages or
cities of less than 10000 inhabitants,
5000; in cities of over $1,000 inhabitants,
$3.50; and in cities of the first class $780,
The proceeds of the tax are to be credit
ed, two-thirds to the townships, villages
and cities from which they are received,
for the general expenses of said corpo-
rations, and the remaining one-third toI ,he
general county fund.-
AS the constitution, of Ohio prohibits
the licensing of the sale of intoxicating
liquors, the law is open to the objection
that the Legislature has sought to do in
directly what it is prohibited from doing
directly. The best legal talent in the
State is divided in opinion as to the va
lidity of this objection; as the advocates
of the law contend that the proper way
to settle the dispute is to let the question
go before the Supreme Court.-Pitts-
ba1gh Commercial Gazette.

had no time to shoot, for the cata-
mount-that's what it was-had it's
claws on me before l could do any
thing. l yelled like trooper, and, re-
versing my gun, struck the critter on
the head with the butt. The cata-
mount was stunned for the moment,
and sort of let go its hold, giving me
chance to move back few yards and
bring the gun to my shoulder. Just
then my wife appeared on the scene,
and [ yelled to her to run and bring
out a pail of hot water-the hottest
she had. Then I fired, and hit the
cuss square between the eyes. It
ought to have settled him, but it
didn't. It only made him mad, and
he crouche ed down to jump OH ME. Z
lodged, and got in another blow on
the animals head, laying him on his
back, but not killing him. My wife
had then returned with pail Of boil
ing hot water, and shew threw it at
the catamount. Part of it scalded the
animal, but most of it struck me, and
took the skin clean off of one of my
legs from the knee down. danced
around with pain, and the catamount
raised up as though he meant to show
fight again. gave him another blow
on the head, which settled him."
