that he saw she was fatally wounded. He
/ then put the pistol to his own forehead and
blew out his valueless brains. The reports
OF the firing reached the ears Of the entire
neighborhood, and little Katie Hoover,
daughter OF the murdered woman, was the
first to appear on the scene. There she was
found wringing her hands

ard screaming piteously. Sergeant Scott
and Officer Piummer hearing the shots, ran
quickly up the stairs, and hearing the girl
screaming within, they broke open the door
of the bedroom. The sergeant shook Rob-
erts and found that he was dead. The woman
was breathing. She lived FIVE minutes and
then died.
wIrHOUT UTTERING A WORD.
Mrs. Roberts had the reputation of being
OLo VI tue HdTueSl-WOTklDg women IN the
neighborhood, and earned her living by sew
ing. She was n German, and everything
about her rooms indicates that she was as
neat as pin. Her first husband, Hoover,
was a steamboatman, and they then lived on
Washington street. For few years she was
the mistress of man in this city, but in
1873 she and he agreed 10 separate, and did
so quietly. Since then she has been an hon
est, Woodworking woman. Roberts knew of
the defect in her moral character when he
married her, but he knew she possessed some
money and he overlooked it. She leaves two
children, George and Kate, by her former
husband, but none by Roberts. OF late
Roberts had become rather desperate fell
low, drink lending him a courage never be-
slowed by nature.
THE VERDICTS.
The following gentlemen acted as Jurors
at the inquest held by Squire Spelman:
Louis Reckenbecker, NJ. Gallagher, Il. II.
Mccain, L. r. Moore, John LENT, John S.
Maddox and Henry Foote. The verdicts
returned were that Kate Roberts came to her
death from a pistol-shot wound inflicted by
her husband and that he came TO his death
from pistol-shot wound inflicted by him

labors Squire Spelman said, 81 thank you,

The Little Shepherd Dogs.

One herder, whom we met at Cold Spring
ranch, showed us very pretty dog that he
said he would not sell for $500. She had
at that time four young puppies. The
night we arrived we visited his camp, and
were greatly interested in the little mother
and her nursing babies. While we were
exclaiming, the assistant herder came to
say that there were more than twenty sheep
missing. Two male dogs, both larger than
the little mother, were standing about doing
nothing. But the herder said neither Tom
nor Dick would find them. Flora must go.
1t was urged by the assistant that her foot
was sore, she had been hard at work all day,
was nearly worn out, and must suckle her
puppies. The boss insisted that she must
CO. The sun was setting. There was no
time to lose. Flora was called, and told to
hunt for lost sheep, while her master pointed
to a great forest, through the edge of which
they had passed on their way up. She
raised her head, but seemed very 10th to
leave her babies. The boss called sharply
to her. She rose, looking tired and low
spirited, with head and tail down, and
trotted YEARLY off toward the forest. l
said That is too bad" "Oh, she'll be
right back She's lightning on stray sheep
The next morning | went over to learn
whether Flora found the strays. While we
were speaking, the sheep were returning,
driven by the little dog, who did not raise
her head or wag her tail, even when spoken
to, but crawled to her puppies and lay down
by them, offering the little empty breasts.
She had been out all night, and, while her
hungry babies were Juggling away, fell
asleep. | have never seen anything so
touching, So far as was concerned, "there
was not dry eye in the house. "-Selected.

JumbO's Joke.

Jumbo, the monster, took it into his Ca
PRECIOUS head last night that he would like a
little more liberty, and 80 he braced himself,
and placing his enormous head against the
side of the building, walked through it, APP
parently as easily as if it were paper. Pre-.
vious to his return with the travelling show
the corner designed for him in the elephant
quarters was overlaid with plank crossed
and recrossed, spiked and bolted until avail
nearly foot thick had been formed, and it
was thought that nothing on this earth
could tear it down. But he pried off the
boards with his tusks, and made quite hole
in that way. Then he went through what
was left with the greatest ease. He wasn't
a bit ugly about it; it was only one of his
playful freaks. After he reached the open
air he was as quiet and gentle as a lamb,
and walked all around the grounds uncon-
cernedly, in charge of Mr., Scott, his Eng
fish trainer. His prodigious strength can
hardly be realized. He will snap off beam
six inches square with great ease, and per-
form other pleasant tricks OF like nature.
In sucn business he surpasses the educated
elephants. His tusks, which were broken
off close TO his head when he was brought
over, have now grown out TO the length of
three or four inches. The damage to the
building has been repaired, more stout
planks being added, and on the outside doz-
ems of heavy legs are used as braces.

A Curious Question.

Some of the political papers and speakers
wonder why prohibitionists should refuse
to act with other parties at time when
they have no chance to elect their own can
didates. That is curious question for
those to ask who have kicked them out. In
the state of Illinois they asked of the two
great parties bread, and stone was hurled
at them. They simply asked that the people
be permitted to say by a vote whether they
wanted prohibition or not, and neither party
dares let the people decide. "Don't make
temperance a party issue. Let US have a
vote on that question in such a way that
any man can vote as he will without disloy
atty to his party" So say the politicians
So say we; but, friend politician, how can
this be while your parties both refuse to lei
the people vote at all ? How can it be when
the conventions of both democratic and re
publican parties in the city of Chicago bow
the knee to the rumsellers We do moi
ask your parties TO declare for or against
prohibition, but we do ask them to declare
for the republican principle of letting thu
people decide for themselves. Let them vote

Sunday Laws.

Much has been said of the Sunday closing
law passed by the last Ohio legislature
The Tribune of Chicago, a paper which
makes too much money out of its Sunday
edition to favor any kind of restriction on
the Lords day, asks why it is any worse to
drink on Sunday than any other day? 1t
is not. The saloon business is sin, deep,
and dark, every day in the week, and should
be stamped out by righteous laws; but the
Tribune itself bears witness that this bust
ness is far more deadly at times when the
population is idle. Why close saloons on cleo
ton day. Is it greater sin to drink then
than on other days Every Monday morn
ing the Tribune chronicles "the usual Sun
day murder" or bloody ARRAYS, and traces
them to the right cause. Why then, in the
interests of human life and order, not close
up the devilish business on that day when
it does the most wicked work Besides
this view, if churches Bibles, and religio us
influences are worth anything to a country,
the laws should refuse to let Sunday, as a
day of quiet, order and rest, be captured
aud converted into bacchanalian orgy.

Sheer Nonsense.

The rum interest sometimes insists on sa-
looms from Il business point of view, and
urge that they promote the prosperity of a
town or country. This is the sheerest non
sense. Apart from their enormous waste of
the peoples substance, they are detriment.
What states of our Union are more prosper
Gus than Iowa and Kansas-prohibtio
states Does property in any town or city
go up in value when saloon is located in
its neighborhood 2 Are the saloon districts
those that decent people seek for residences I?
This matter has received satisfactory test
in the great city of Liverpool. Though the
city permits the sale of liquor, there are dis
tricts where by proprietary rights it is pro.
hibited. In these districts there is now q
population Of about $4,000. 1t is found
that these localities are those where builders
like best to invest their money, where rents
are highest, aud where the better class of
population seek for homes. This is Just
what we find everywhere. Whether the
reader drinks or not, is a prohibitionist or
not, we are sure that he would seek the home
of his family in district which was not de.
filed by a saloon.

Doing Ones Own Work.

"Never mind what he's doing, attend to
YOUR own work. "But he's putting his
machine all out of gear he'll ruin it,"
"The superintendent will see to that-mind
Won your work" Aud so he went back to
his work and did it well aud earned his
wages. So it is in churches. Men are too
busy watching other peoples work and ma
chinery to do their own properly. Aud
now we propose, as an experiment, that
every man and woman begin by doing mod
estly what first comes, and with faith and
hope build up their own souls, and labor foi
the impenitent around them. There are
too many in our own families who need the
word in season and the faithful, believing
PRAYER. What an IMPRESSION would be
made if each one of us could see the CONVEX
sion of one soul--sister, brother, child,
friend, neighbor. Direct prayer for one,
leads to effort for one, and the Lords power
is not limited to scores, or hundreds, o.
thousands. But hundreds and thousand,
are made up of individuals, and the re.
demption of each soul is precious. There is
perhaps too much talk now of the question
of salvation and shall all be saved or lost at
once, or will there be further probation
The opposing opinions and arguments show
that the question cannot be settled. And
what matter There is too much stres-
laid upon the mere safety of the soul. That
no doubt, is precious, but the great point is
the living to God, the making the whole Of
this life school of preparation for another
Even if it were promised in some way thai
a soul should be saved in the end, we need
be none the less jealous that the life be given
to the service of Christ. Therefore we say
"Arise, arise good Christian !" and be
faithful to individual souls Save will
fear,-pulling them out of the fire." Some
years ago child of Christian parents sale
to friend, " You are the first person who
has ever spoken to me directly on the sub
ject of personal religion" My brethren
these things ought not SO to be. "Speak t,

seek and need SO much Christian Reid.
