The missing witness in the
Ketchum case, Myrtle Patterson, was
found in Massachusetts with her
brother Walter, and brought back
last week, although her presence here
has been kept very quiet. Her story,
as we hear it, is that Ketchum and
Nye browbeat her into believing that
Ketchum could clear himself anyway,
but that it would cost him five
hundred dollars that it would be
much easier for him if she would
leave the state until after Court time,
and he would give her the five hundred
dollars if she would go, to which she
finally consented, and he paid them
S175 then, claiming it was all he had
with him, and he would send the
remainder after he got home, but
which he failed to do. They then
took the train and went straight to
Massachusetts,. An aunt with whom
they had been stopping returned with
them.
The above is taken from the
Mcmillan Leader. 1t is singular that
some honest citizen of MERRIAM does
not assist the young lady, at least
with good advice, if not with money,
TO prosecute said Ketchum. This is
indeed cold world if there is nc
protection for innocent young girls
against the vile Vaccinations OF
sugar coated whelps.

soul Of his own in his bosom, and did
not wait until it was breathed into him

The democratic party of Ohio got

AS soon as the republican party origin

scoundrels who have assumed for a

political stock-in-trade Of the party.

At Spencer & Mack'S pulp mill
last Wednesday, the barking machine
gave way suddenly and broke into
small pieces. The way that it cut up
boards and joists and threw things
around generally, without doing
serious injury to the boys working
near by, is remarkable. The chap
who was running things put on toe
much power and the excessive speed
caused the brake It is fortunate for
the boys working the machine that
they escaped.

it is called or bent portion of the pipe just
below the outlet. About a pint will suffice
for washstand or quart for bath-tub or
kitchen sink. Be sure that no water runs
into it till next morning.
During the night the I've will convert all
OF the offal in the pipe into soft soap, and the
first current of water in the morning will re-
move it entirely and leave the pipe as clean
as new. The writer has never had occasion,
in over thirty years experience to make
more than two applications of it in any one
case.
A remarkable example of the value of this
process was that of large drain pipe which
carried off the waste of an extensive country
house, near Philadelphia, and ran under a
beautiful lawn in its front. A gallon of the
lye removed all obstruction in a single night,
and saved the necessity of digging up the
pipe and disfguring the greensward of the
lawn, as the plumber intended, until advised
of this process.
The so-called potash lye sold in small tin
cans in the shops is not recommended for this
purpose. 1t is quite commonly misnamed,
and is called caustic soda, which makes
hard soap. The lye should be kept in heavy
glass bottles or demijohns, covered with
wicker work, and plainly labeled; always
under lCCk when not in actual use. IL does
not act upon metals, and so does not corrode
the pipes as do strong acids.

A Brave Little Daughter.

There is a very pretty story told by Miss
Strickland in her Queens of England OF a
little girl who saved her fathers life.
1t was in the time of Queen Mary, and
Lord Preston, the father of the child, was
condemned to death for conspiring to bring
back the exiled King James to the throne
Her name was Lady Catharine Graham, and
she was only nine years old. The poor child
was during the trial of her father) left in
the Queens apartments in Windsor Castle
The day after the condemnation of Lord
Preston, the Queen found little Lady Catha-
rinein ST. Georges gallery, gazing earnestly
on the whole-length picture of James H.
which still remains there. Struck with the
mournful expression on the young girls
face, Mary asked her hastily what she saw in
that picture which made her look on It so
particularly. 81 was thinking" said the in
nocent child, chow hard it is that my father
must die for loving yours" The Queen,
pricked in conscience by this artless reply,
Immediately signed the pardon of Lord
Preston.

President Lincoln,s Dream.

Nashville Liberal.
1t is not generally known that President
Lincoln once dreamed that he would be as
sassinated. While he was neither a pro-
fessor of religion nor even fixed in his belief
in one particular creed, still lie was fond of
reading and discussing the Bible. On Sun
day evenings he invariably read a chapter or
two from the Scriptures, and then gave his
explanation of 1t. One evening at the White
House he read several passages both from the
Old and New Testaments relating to dreams,
to which Mrs Lincoln and the children gave
great attention. He began to chat with them
on the subject of dreams, and said he had
been haunted for some days by dream he
had had. OF course they all wanted him to
tell it, though Mrs. Lincoln said she didn't
believe in dreams in the least, and was as
tonished at him. So he proceeded to
tell it, "About ten days ago l retired one
night quite late. l had been up waiting
for important dispatches from the front,
and could not have been long in bed
when fell into slumber, for | was very
weary. During my slumber l began to
dream. l thought there was stiffness about
me- and 1 heard weeping. I thought
that L got up and wandered

to one of the soldiers who is dead at the

dent How did he die? l asked. BY the
hand of an assassin, was the reply. Then 1
heard great wailing all over the house, and
it was SO loud it seemed to awaken me.
awoke much depressed and slept no more
that night Such was my dream"
From that time until his sad death Mr..
Lincoln was haunted by the fear of assassin
alton, and Mrs. Lincolns first words after
Wilkes Booth had shot him on April IA
were: 'His dream was prophetic" The re-
mark was not understood then, but when
the story of his dream was subsequently
told it was explained.
