AURORA, H., October s 8-City Mar
shal Zimmer has arrested man alleged
to be j. Il. Shumway, of North Adams,
Mass. Shumway had been for a number
of years secretary of Lafayette Lodge
of Masons at North Adams, and last
April he disappeared, taking, it is said,
about $500 of the money of the Masonic
order and another mans wife IN lieu of his
own. A. ". Kellogg, a Massachusetts
detective, who has been working up the
case for a number of months, had sue
ceeded IN tracking his man to Chicago,
thence to Elgin, and from there to
Aurora, as he thought, because Of a
trunk which. had been shipped to the
latter place. Kellogg and the city officers
spent a couple of days searching for
Shumway, but In vain, and, leaving full
descriptions with the marshal, Kellogg
returned home. He described the man
as of good height, weighing about 100
pounds, and having a full gray beard.
He also said that the woman said to
have gone away with him wore a white
circular cloak. On Friday last thinner
was attracted by cloak similar to the
one described, and, following the clew,
tracked the woman to 6 meat
shop, and then shadowed her
to house on Oak Street.
When the man came from work he was
arrested and taken to the bridewell. He
acknowledged his name to be J. II.
Shumway, and that he was from North
Adams, Mass. His beard, however,
was dyed black, and when asked the
reason gave no satisfactory answer. He
is about so years of age, and seems to
be under the control of his companion,
who Is a shrewd woman. He will be re-
turned to North Adams

SALT LAKE, Utah, October S.-Col.
James Tullis, special land agent of the
government, who has been investigating
land frauds In the territories of the
Rocky Mountains, who is IN Salt Lake,
says there has been some big swearing
by witnesses In some of the land offices,
and large tracts of land have been
patented by persons who had N nowlse
complied with the land laws. The
desert land entry act has been vlo-
lated with a recklessness that was posi-
lively astonishing. Inmany cases II was
found that absolutely nothing had been
done toward reclaiming lands, and yet
what are known and regarded as good
citizens have gone before the land OFF,
GERS and made solemn oath that land had
been reclaimed and all conditions of the
law complied with, where, III fact, no
mark made by human hands could be
found upon the entire tract. Other
tracts were taken up under the desert
act that are no more desert than the val
ley of the Ohio River. Other lands
were found to have been taken up under
the timber culture act 1pOn which was
growing at the time of the original thing
more forest trees than the act requires
when final proof is to be made. The
homestead law has not been fairly treat
ed, and thousands of acres of land have
been patented by persons vino have not
complied with one single requirement OF
the law. Testimony was produced
by fraud and with the full Intent
and purpose to defraud the government.
Tens of thousands of acres of public
lands are fenced up by wealthy stock
raisers, thus leaving the actual settlers
without range for the family COW. In
one instance it was found than man
living near a city IL Montana had
fenced up 5000 acres OF public lands,
and ii his kindness of heart had per-
mitted town people to pasture stock IN
his inclosure for the moderate sum of 81
per month per head,

A NEGRO was sworn in upon the jury
in a larceny case. He looked very de-
iected, and as soon as possible SUNK
away into a corner of the jury division,
and hid his face from view. Presently
the Judge had occasion to address him,
and, after repeated attempts to attract
his attention, had him punched in the
side. The iuryman arose. Do you
know what you are here for ?" demanded
the Judge with severity. Fore the
Lord, boss, [ amt done muffin " Don't
you know what this case Is % Some
how l do disrecollect," said the darkey,
scratching his head. Well, " exclaimed
the Judge, "it's the case where the two
men are accused OF stealing the two
bales of cotton" 81 didn't steal-um,
was the excited reply of the thoroughly
bewildered negro. The judge explained
the matter, and the trial proceeded.

THE comforting by the queen of the
Garter made vacant by the death of the
Duke of Marlborough on her young
grandson, Prince Albert Victor, has
fallen like a thunderbolt on English So
ciety. She sent for him while Mr..
Gladstone was absent in the Northern
Seas, and conferred the blue ribbon at
Balmoral, the Princess Beatrice alone
being present. It is the first time the
highest t1tular order in England has
been granted to one so young, and it is
absolutely without precedent that the
son and grandson of the sovereign should
hold blue ribbon simultaneously. On
the last vacancy the queen passed over
/ Mr.. Gladstone's nomination and gave
! the ribbon to the Duke of Grafton.

Edison,s Patent Nnn.Existing shit


Undergoing general circulation is a
story that Edison, the inventor, has
produced an electrical toy baby that can
arrange the letters of any name from
among spelling blocks; that can say:
"Come in,' Mamma, Use sleepy. ;"
and two or three other sentences, and
that can cry, laugh, sing and play the
piano.
SIS that a fact? 1 hadn't heard Of
that story yet" said Mr.. Edison's pri-
vate secretary; " that must be the latest
out about Mr. Edison, Is that an Eur
ropean or an American tale 2"
"That's of Waterbury, Conn, manu-
facture-that is if it is manufactured.
"Well, it certainly has no truth IN it.
Most of the clever stories about Mr..
Edison, however, are European. The
latest was published IN the Vienna Tage-
blatt. That was about the 365 shirt-a
garment that Mr.. Edison was said 70
| have succeeded IN manufacturing of 365
delicately thin sheets of paper IN layers,
one layer for every day in the year.
You tore off the outer sheet every morn
| ing, and started each day with a spick
and span clean shirt. For leap years you
bought a 366 shirt. 4 man III Paris
went to an exchange office, bought a
! five-dollar bill, and mailed it to Mr.. Edi-
l son for a sample of the garment, and a
chap in Berlin tried to buy the agency
| for II in Prussia"

BOw-Legged and a Thief.

From the Waterbury Americana
Often upon the streets of this city for
the past several years may have been
seen young man whose physical aspect
has arrested general attention. What
constituted this popularity has been the
fact that when he stood uprig ht with his
heels together his legs described a per-
feet elipse; then, too, when he walked,
the effort was still mere striking. 1t
was never necessary for him to turn
aside for any impeachment upon the walk
his curious wrought legs would compass
it roundabout, and he would pass on
undetained. This remarkable eccentri-
city of nature bears the name of Jimmy
Lines, and to his other peculiarities ma
ture added its full complement of human
paughtiness. This gift has been most
assiduOUsly improved by Jimn Y till now,
at the age of 20 or thereabouts, he would
take frst premium at any exposition of
boyish ungodliness. 1t was only short
time ago that he stole a ham one morn
ing and, on being pursued, he jumped
into a hack and told the driver that he
must catch a train that was soon to leave.
The Jehu on the box whipped up his
horse frame steeds and soon Jimmy was
springing at terrific pace away from
his pursuers: when at a conveniently
safe distance he opened the door,
jumped to the ground, over a six-foot
board fence and escaped. Jimmy can
outstrip cyclone on foot and many es-
capades of lis might be enumerated.
But It is his latest affair that now attracts
police attention. The other day he went
to the engine house of the New England
road IN this city and stole suit of clothes
from closet belonging to one of the
employees. Then, before the smitings
of conscience could possibly have been
over, he found a bakers team standing
on the street without a driver. Here
was chance for unlimited pie and cake
indefinite; he imped into the wagon and
was about ready to start off when he was
discovered. He jumped off and began
to unlimber himself when it occurred to
him that his efforts would be lost with
out spoils. hence he made a dash for the
wagon, grabbed pie and made a sue
cessful escape. Now the police are
couring tow 4 aud country while Jimmy
njoys his new suit and digests his pie.

are never initiated and counterfeited. This
is especially true of family medicine, and
it is positive proof that the remedy imita-
ted is of the highest value. AS soon as 1t
had been tested and proved by the whole
world that Hop Btters was the purest, best
and most valuable family medicine on
earth, many limitations sprung up and be-
gan to steal the notices in which the press
and people Of the country had expressed
the merits Of Ii. B., and in every way trying
to induce suffering invalids to use their
stuff instead, expecting to make money on
the credit and good name of H. B. Many
others started nostrums put up IN similar
style to Ii. B., with variously devised names
in which the word Hop or Hops" were
used in q way to induce people to believe
they were the same as Hop Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures, no mat.
ter what their style or name is, and es-
pecialy those with the word Hop" or
Shops" in their name or in any way con-
nected with them or their name, are imlta-
tons or counterfeits. Beware of them
Touch none of them. Use nothing but gen.
une Hop Bitters, with bunch or cluster
of green Hops on the white label. Trust
nothing else, Druggists and dealers are
warned against dealing in limitations or

"Of the Sultan's dislike to pictures
used as n labcl'for goods, writes an Eng
fish correspondents from Constantine
pie, 'you have been informed on a
previous occasion. Last week guam
tity OF Manchester goods were seized
at the Custom House, because they
bore a tawdry ticket showing two ORR
entail figures, male and female, on
horseback, with the legend, the Sui
tan and Sultana Of the Fellaheen.'
The intention of the Manchester house
which used this label was clearly trea-
sonablc. The intention was to propa-
gate belief that the Sultan took horse
exercise accompanied by a lady of his
household; which would be contrary
TO the. law of Islam, and would dis
credit His Majesty in the eyes Of every
.r1e believer. y
