| sion IL wrong, No suCh ioui"ih was wv
made by Mr., Fred. Koehlcr or any other OF
the dozen or more of the Messrs. Koehler in
this city and, so far as is known, no diff
ference exists between Mr., Barth and any
Of this numerous family.
Horse thieves are very numerous and
very active of late. Yesterday Chief Myers
received three cards, notifying him that
horses had been stolen from as many diff
ferent places within the last few days. A
dapple gray horse and buggy were stolen
from Danville, Thursday; on the same day
two horses were stolen from Ramsey, ILL.,,
and on Monday an iron gray horse was
stolen from Mr.. r, II. Benson, of MONT
cello, Ill.
The work of decapitsting the brick
house of Mr.. Kobler, on Ohio levee, &C
cupicd By Mr.. j. Lehning, goes on rapidly.
One by one the bricks are being raised
| iron their bed of mortar and slid down
long, steeply laid skid, in order to prevent
their being demolished and permit their
use for othe, purposes. The house is about
seventy-fve feet high and twenty-five
wide. 1t has stood for many years but
one of the walls has begun to show an in
clination toward the south to an extent
that it was deemed dangerous.
There is prospect that the prohibition
lists in Illinois will make general fight in
the coming campaign, and in Chicago and
in st, LOUIS, those opposed to the move
mcnt are organizing for self protection
1t is proposed to make square issue with
the reformers and for individual liberty,
and the prohibitonists of Chicago are
confident they can hold their own. The
loss occasion ed by prohibitory law IN
gripping industries which men have spent
in building up would be very heavy in the
lake city, though not SO great probably, as
would in st. Louis in similar event.
The Kelley motor is attracting some
attention again, because stockholders in
Mr.. Kecley's enterprise at last got disguised
at waiting for results, and had a court ap-
l point an expert to decide whether or not
the matter amounted to anything. This
expert has now tor sometime been associa-
ted with Mr.. Keely, and has become about
rs mysterious and prominent as the in
ventor himself. He fntimates that Kelley
is in earnest, that he endangers his life in
this work and that cue revelations will be
made probably about the first of the year.
Chicago and Cincinnati are united in
the opinion that the creator made a great
mistake when he made the Mississippi
river At any rate the editors of the Chi =
cago Tribune and the Cincinnati Com
, mercial agree that they could have done
the thing better if they had had the max
ing The mistake He who made this
globe was guilty of all lies in the section
of the river from Davenport to Cairo If
thu Almighty had only been as wise as these
editors he would have shunted the river off
to Lake Michigan via Davenport and the
Hennepin route, 80 that Chicago might
have monopolized the upper and Cincin-
natl the lower river.
-, On Thursday one of the incest of all
the series of barbecues so far held in this
county for the benefit of the several candl-
dates for county offices took place at Rock
Springs near Thebes Rock Springs is a
beautiful spot the scenery there at this time
of year is charming. The barbecue proper,
which consisted of course, of meat and
other eatables, and of refreshments, was a
pleasant affair. All the candidates were
present, also large number OF constituents
OF both sexes. The candidates did good
work each for himself, and all for the man
or men who managed the barbecue. Among
the prominent orators of the occasion were
Hons. John Hodges, Miles W. Parker, s. j
Humm and John H. Robinson.
1t now appears that the man Hamil-
ton, the fluent talker, the greY-haired old
horse thief, was more guilty than at first
supposed He did not even ask permits
sion of any one IN Pinckneyvile to take
the mare for stealing which he was ar
rested at Metropolis Wednesday. He took
the mare without the knowledge Of any
one but himself, and it was not known who
the thief was until he was arrested. The
' discovery Of the mare at Metropolis where
; he had traded her off for q horse and ten
dollars cash, and description Of him from
his victim there, lead to his discovery and
arrest He has bad reputation generally,
having been engaged in several escapades
in different parts Of this state before this,
which would have sent him to the "pen'
had an effort been made to do So
