Our evening cotemporary cannot
be in earnest in its endorsement of
Ex-Governor Bross's advice that a
premium be offered for Indian scalps.
If such advice be followed we would
place ourselves upon a plane still
lower than that occupied by the sav-
age himself. He sclaps his victims
in order to bear upon bis belt an evil
dence of his courage and proves in
battle. We could not offer even that
eason of the savage for our barbara
ty. A desire for money would be the
only incentive to commit the barbar-
u act. Surely the peaceful Inter

Bross's suggestion.

Murder of Ada Atkinson.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-An Oxford
Gnd.) special says: Near this place,
three weeks ago, Ada Atkinson, an
interesting young girl, was most bru-
tally murdered. The detectives last
night got on the clue, and arrested a
man named Melting, who worked on
Atkinson's farm. On the strength
of statements by Melting after his ar
rest. a young boy of the neighbor-
hood. named jacob Ladd, was also
arrested. The body of the girl was
exhumed by the coroner, to learn if
an indecent assault had been commit
ted; but it was too much decomposed.
Melting testified before the corOner's
jury: Young Ladd came to him
while at work and he learned from
him that Ada was alone in the house.
He said he knew a woman who would
be glad 10 have the girl put out of the
way and the lad went into the house.
Questioned as to why he did not state
these facts before, Melting declined
to answer. The boy Ladd testified
in an apparently straight forward
manner, contradicting Melting in
every particular. The general bell ef
is that Melting made up this story to
screen himself. The whole surround
ing country is aroused. and the lynch
ing Of Melting is freely threatened.

The FOoIishness of the Law,

There is not much poetry but lots of
truth in the following, concerning legal
customs in vogue at the present days
Courts of law are queer institutions.
The clerk will require the witness to
swear he will tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, but
just as soon as the witness begins to tell
the truth one of the lawyers is pretty
sure to object, and. the court is apt to
sustain the objection, and he who is
sworn to tell the whole truth is com
PEELED to commit perjury by withhold
ing the whole truth. Now, who is re-
sponsible for the perjury, the man
who doesn't do what he has sworn to do
or the court that prevents him from
keeping his oath?

DAYLIGHT, May 22.-The school at
Bald Knob, which has been under the
management of Mr.. W. H. Hammer
for the past five months, closed last
Friday night. The forepart of the
day was spent in the examination of
classes in the primary branches. Be-
fore dismissng for dinner, Mr.. Ham
mer announced that dinner had been
prepared and was on the ground and
that all were cordially invited to share
it, After dismission all repaired to the
spring where temporary table had
been erected for the occasion by Mr..
S. l.. Brown. The ladies soon had
dinner spread, and second invitation
extended to all to partake of the re-
freshments, which was accepted. Not
withstanding the large number fed, the
supply was not exhausted, but many
baskets full were taken up after all
had eaten. We cannot begin to de-
scribe the dinner, but suffice to say it
was a splendid one and those who pre-
pared it deserve no little credit. After
a short recess the bell announced the
fact that business would be resumed in
the house. The afternoon was spent
in the examination of the more advan-
ced classes. We have never witnessed
a more thorough and satisfactory exam

never seen better order, considering the
large crowd, than was observed during
the day and night. Mr.. Hammer has
gained a reputation in this community
as a teacher which is unexcelled. We
need more such teachers. JIM.
