Capt. N. Dix.

The county court last week settled
with all the road overseers except
Capt n. Dix, from near Martinshurg.
The court claims that he did not at
tend to his business as he should
have done ]; that he gave out road re-
ceipts when work was not done prop
erly, to say the least, and that he put
in a bill for several more days of ov-
erseeing than they think was due him.
Now, We are inclined to think the
court is mistaken. If we remember
Alright Capt. n. Dix is, or was, the
greenback reformer of the county
who was going to renovate and re-
form the county, as it were He was
loud-mouthed, so to speak, about the
way the democratic party was attend
ing to county affairs. We are sure
that there is some mistake. Capt. n.
Dix, who ran on the greenback re-
form platform, would not be guilty of
such a small thing rs the court ap-
pears to charge him with.

An Effort For q Pardon.

Many CT our citizens will remem-
Der a young man named Charles Par
ker who was sent to the peniten-
tiary abou three years ago from this
county for a ten year term, for high
way robbery in this city. 1t was, at
the time the deed was said to have
been committed, no uncommon re-
mark to hear expressed that the
young man vas innocent of the rob-
berry, if such a crime had indeed
been perpetrated. Parker was a
stranger here, comparatively without
any friends, and had been employed
on the c. & A. road as brakeman,
and the conductor for whom he
worked gave him the name of being,
while in his services, straightforward
and honest, and an industrious man.
AS a proof of this gentleman's belief
in the innocence of the party above
referred to, he will, in a few DAYS.
put in circulation a petition for sig
natures asking his Excellency, Gov.
Critsenden, to grant a pardon to Par
ker. We earnestly hope the Execu-
tive may be induced to interfere in
behalf of the unfortunate, as num-
bers of citizens can be found here
who believe he is serving an unjust
term in prison. One of the best sher-
ifs Audrain county ever had, since
departed this life, said to the writer
of this article that he did not believe
the young man guilty of the crime
for which he was then conveying him
to the penitentiary. Below is a letter
written to his friend, the kind-hearted
conductor, which explains itself:
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. Il
take the liberty of writing you a few
lines this evening hoping they may
find you and yours enjoying the most
bountiful of Gods blessings-good
health. As for my own health it is
not good nor has it been for the past
two years. 1 have been here three
years but it seems like a lifetime to
me. l have almost given up all hopes
of getting out before my time ex-
pires, for the reason I have no one to
whom l a look for help. If any
one would get up a petition in my
behalf l believe the Governor would
either pardon or reduce my sentence
to such In extent that 1 should soon
be at liberty. No one knows what /
have suffered in the past three years
through being being deprived of lib
erty, together with the fact that my
mother and sister know nothing of my
misfortune, nor do L know whether
they are living or not. This alone
causes me more anxiety than my nu-
merous troubles, which are enough in
themselves. l have got along so far
without any trouble of any kind.
That is saying a great deal for a place
of this kind. have been well treat
ed by the officers of the prison. The
discipline is strict, still a man who
attends to his own business Will never
have no aust to complain.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES PARKER.

The Year of Disasters.

Eighteen hundred and eighty-three
appears to be destined to 60 down in
history as the disastrous year. The
floods i'm and around Cincinnati, o.,
are causing great loss of property
and life. The latest kilograms are
briefly as follows:
CINCINNATI. Feb. 13.-It is lmpos-
sible to tell the extent of the disaster
at the Southern RAILROAD Depot. On
ly the freight depot went down. A
great crowd of people were there
looking at the floods, when Ryan's
restaurant, a small building near by,
went down. The crowd rushed over
ON the platform of the depot to see
what was the matter, when suddenly
the whole depot collapsed and sank
in the water. The track was at the
same time depressed, and the cars
| standing close ran into the depres-
sion, covering the people who had
gone down with the falling structure.
Not one body has been recovered at
O'Clock, nor could the bystanders
give intelligent account of how many
escaped. The work of recovering
the drowned will be exceedingly diff,
ficult, as the place is isolated, with
the danger of other parts of the Street
melting as this portion did. 1t i:
possible, however, that the break il
the great sewer in Mclean avenue
caused the depot to sink. The com
mon council voted to-day to recon
mend an appropriation of s75, 900
and to ask aid of the Legislature.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb 13.-Th'
following report was received thi
morning from New Albany: Th'
river rose IS inches last night and i
is still rising. Lawrenceburg is en-
tirely covered. Some of the house
have water in the second story.

Speer's Wine for CONSERVATIVES.

Consumptive persons are said to be
greatly benefited by the use of Speer's
Port Grape Wine. 1t seems to give
nourishment when everything else
fails, and physicians are prescribing it
as a rich, nutritious wine. Prominent
physicians and members connected
with the New York Board of Health
have inspected Speer's vineyards and
wine cellars, and speak of his products
in the highest terms.

Constipation is a disease-maker t

Constipation is a disease-maker to
all human beings. The rich and
poor, the old and young, male and
female are it's regular victims. At
the bedside the physicians first ques-
ton is, chow are your bowels?" This
condition has many use and leads
to many diseases, as follows: Indi-
gestion, acid stomach, heartburn. fe-
vers, billiousness, sick headache, tor
pidity of the liver, collie, inflamma-
tory diseases, nervousness, loss of APP
petite, etc. These conditions, can
all be removed by the use of Bailey's
Saline Aperient, which is a pleasant
and sparkling purgative, acting speed
lily and freely upon the stomach,
bowels and liver, relieving indigestion,
curing sick headache, heartburn and
acid stomach; cools and quiets in fe-
produces pam or nausea.

The suit fer damages against the
o. & NJ. r. r., last week, for the
fatal injuries inflicted on Joseph B.
Stanhope of this city at Salem, ILL.,,
more than a year ago, was decided at
Chicago last week. The verdict was
for 50, 200. We think this a very
penurious verdict. The judge who
rendered it must have a poor idea of
the value of a mans life, or his worth
to his wife and family. We a pic
ture the case reversed. We can i'm
agine this judge killed, as Stanhope
was :; the big, liberal hearted, whole
souled Joe Stanhope on the judges
bench-would he render a verdict for
the widow for a paltry $4,000? No,
verify; not even if it was against a
railroad owned by himself.
