DIR What is Supposed to be the Proceeds OF
the St.LOuis Express Robbery Accidentally
Discovered in a milwaukee Trunk store
Lucky Find-The Thief Stin at Large
Arrest of McFadden as an Aecomplice-
Bloom Released.
MILWAUKEE,, WIS, March 13.
What is supposed to be the greater
part of the proceeds of the Pacific
Express robbery at st. Louis have been
found here accidentally, but the robber
has not been captured. Tuesday a man
in the dress of a workingman entered the
trunk mandatory of Carples & Co., on
East Water street, and asked to be shown
a trunk of certain size and price. His
request was granted, and he selected and
bought such an article as he desired.
He stated that he was on his way
to Detroit, and as his satchel, though
somewhat worn, contained such clothes
and other articles as he wished to take,
he would simply have the satchel placed
in the new trunk, safely packed, and the
trunk and contents then forwarded to De-
troit yesterday. The satchel without the
owner, reached the trunk store. It lay
about for time awaiting further orders
from the man, who finally appeared and
gave directions as to the manner in
which the satchel should be packed, and
| further directed that the trunk should be
senC to the depot addressed to Detroitfor
him. He then disappeared, evidently on
his way to the city named. One of the
| employees of the store proceeded to obey
| the orders in regard to packing when the
| satcheI was accidentally broken. An ef-
| fort to close the rent resulted in making
! the matter worse, and the contents of the
| bag began to fall out. It was then discov-
| cred that the contents were money and
valuable papers. So large an amount OF
money awakened suspicion, and the
satcheI was emptied and the contents
| examined. 1t was found that the value
| of the contents was over $4,000. The
money was placed in safe-keeping in a
bank, and there is no doubt that it
| is that which was stolen at st. Louis.
! There was delay about notifying the
police authorities, and the man had
made good his escape. The name
which he gave and a full description
will be telegraphed to Detroit and other
cities.
SHERMAN, TEX, March Is.
Yesterday morning the City Marshal

which took place in st. Louis Sunday,
March 3 McFadden is now in Jail, and
denies having anything to do with it. He
was absent from here at the time of the
robbery and returned in a few days. 1t is
claimed he is related to FILLER, but as yet
nothing can be proven. L. A. Fuller and
r. e. Butler, of the Pacific Express Com
pany, and Thomas Furlong arrived on a

noon, and are trying to sift the thing.

Attempted Suicide.

At late hour Sunday night the marshal
was summoned to the Monkey house
where it was reported that one of the in
mates of the den had committed suicide

May Slaughter, one Of the frail sports OF
that notorious place had shot herself. The
woman had been drinking, and in some-
what intoxicated condition she repaired to
the back yard and calling for young man
who had been with her in the evening;
she pulled revolver from her pocket,
placed it to her forehead and fired. The
ball entered the forehead about one and
one-halfinches above the right eye, pene-
trated the membrane for about an inch
and half and lodged near the right tenn
pie. DR.. Shoemaker dressed the wound.
The girl is in critical condition but may

cause.

cratic meeting held at that place which
was addressed by Judge Haag:
"The meeting of H. E. Mcclure, ESQ.,,
and Judge Haag at this place, last Wednes-
day evening was not so large as it should
have been. The meeting at Columbus
Grove on the east and Rushmore on the
west, just prior TO the meeting here, con-
tributed largely to lesson the attendance
here. Those who did attend, however,
were richly compensated for doing SO by
hearing the very able speech of the Judge
on the tariff, to which he confined his re-
marks entirely. No intelligent unpleju-
diced man who gave attention to what
was said could fail to be benefited by hear
ing that speech. One man has said he
would give $5 for that speech in print.
Others expressed themselves being greatly
pleased with it,"

The great high kicking chief mogul OF
the Mulligan Minors, etc., was evidently
little ratified in the head last Wednesday
night. The c~owning event of his sum-
mer's labor was grand mass fizzle. His
coharts were unable to comprehend his
commands and universal chaos prevailed
among them, SO much so that many Re-
publicans fled to their homes in sheer dis
gust, some of them declaring that they
would train no more under the banner of
idiots and children, but would enter the
camp of the Democrats and dwell in peace
and harmony.

FAIR NOTES.

Everybody came and went in a good
humor.
The fair association is ready to pay pre-.
miums.
The sham battle on Thursday afternoon
was a complete success.
The directors are highly elated with the
success OF the "First Fair"
Every department was crowded to its
utmost capacity with exhibits.
The large field OF horses entered for the
races kept the track hot until dark on the
three last days.
Mother Hubbard and her children play.
ing base ball was hugely enjoyed by the
crowd Thursday.
The awarding committees were kept
busy Thursday and Friday examining ex-
hibits and awarding premiums.
Had the fair been held the latter part oi
September the attendance would have
been far better, good as it was.
At last the dormant energy of the citi-
zens of Henry county has been awarded
and it is fully demonstrated that ~e can
hare a fair.
The Liberty Center band furnished mu-
sic on Wednesday, and on Thursday and
Friday the Napoleon boys discoursed
sweet strains from the band stand.
The exhibit Of cattle and horses was ex-
ceptionally fine and the exhibitors all
seemed well pleased with the awards OF
Che committees in those departments.
One of the happiest features of the fair
and which added largely to its success
was that the whole advertised programme,
with one exception, that the slow race,
was carried out, and it was so arranged
that from the opening of the gates in the
morning until their close at night the Wis
itor had something to attract his atten-
ton.
No more pleasant weather could be
asked for than that of last Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. At an early hour
Thursday morning visitors to the fair be-
gan arriving from every direction, and by
noon fully 5000 people were on the
grounds; this number was increased to
1000 in the afternoon. The attendance on
Friday was still larger than that of the
previous day. The universal verdict of
the crowd was: "The Fair is an immense
success"

We clip the following in relation to hog
cholera from an exchanges: "If you will
open the hogs mouth you will find two
blsters back of the teeth or below them
on the cheek. Take sharp instrument
and open these and make the hog swallow
the blood that flows from them; then give
the hog from one to two ounces of castor
oil. Do this when the hog first shows the
symptoms of the disease. This has been
tried by several in this neighborhood and
has proved succl ss(ul."

The Republicans made terrible effort
on last Thursday evening to beat the big
Democratic display of the week before.
After laboring for week and over they
succeeded in gathering few torches,
drum corps and bands, and much regalia
together, about one third the number and
display the Democrats made. They
secured the whole country around and
urged for Gods sake come out but the
masses remained quietly at home and the
braves are indeed discouraged. The chick
en- feathers will trail in the dust after No

unoccupied at the time, belonging to Mr..

ance on the building, which does not
cover the loss,
