Is JUGURTHA LACKEY ALIVE ?

Jugurtha Lackey, farmer, about fifty
years of age, residing in the Lackey set
tlement, near Twins Station, mysterious
ly disappeared on Monday Of last week.
Mr.. Lackey had been getting out con-
siderable ore on his place, and as his own
team is employed working the farm, he
desired to procure other teams to haul in
his ore. On the day mentioned he men
toned to some one at the mines that he
would go and see about getting some
more help. He then walked away, and
what became of him can scarcely be con-
jectured-it is all blank mystery.
Jugurtha Lackey is, if living, about fif-
ty years of age, and has large family
having four children married, and five,
we believe, unmarried. He is a remarka-
BILE man in appearance. being tall man
with heavy beard, nearly white. He
had been suffering with a cancer on the
lower lip, but had gotten the soreness al
most healed. He was soldier in the
Second Virginia Cavalry, during the war.
He is a brother of the late Anderson
Lacky, murdered by Luke Jones, and in
personal appearance very much resem-
bled his murdered brother.
Large parties have been securing the
country for several days trying to find
some clue to his whereabouts. His cane
was found, somewhat battered and splin-
tered, and his memorandum book, some
torn, was also found, but no further
trace of him has been discovered.

We do not remember ever to have seen
such open, fragrant violations of law and
decency, before, as we saw in Waverly
on last Friday. All kinds of gambling
was in full blast, many kinds being in the
public streets, in full view of the officers.
The large number of police kept the
drunk men comparatively quiet, and there
were no disturbances worthy of note.
We asked Waverly man why the officers
did not stop the gambling, and he re-
marked that the policeman who tried it
would have his trouble for his pains, as
they did not do such things in Waverly
as arresting gamblers. The experiences
of the Jackson men in Waverly had a
tendency to make them love dear old
Jackson with increased fervor.
A man stepped up to us, in full view of
several gambling devices, in front of the
hotel, and said:
"You have pretty hard place in Jack
son, haven't your" We could but reply
that the only difference between Jackson
and some other places is that when a
murder is committed over here. we catch
the murderer and hang. And other GRIM
inals are trotted through, with the single
exception of one class-the doggery-keep-

WHERE'S AUSTIN ?.
BAD REPORTS FROM BERLIN !
Nine BGrGlitnS in Jail !!
And Still the Villain Pursued Her !

On last Saturday Sheriff Cherington
locked in Jail tender flower named
Annie Backus, from Berlin. We have
not positive information, but suppose in
all probability she is the wife of Eli.
Backus, of Flint Run. Annie is locked
up on charge of carrying concealed
weapons. Two young men were brought
in from Berlin on Sunday, charged with
stealing money from their brother. Their
name is Dever, one of them having been
arrested for forging an order on Star
Furnace, some time ago.
There has been big stealing at Berlin
during the past few days. Attempt was
made to get into John Poor's smoke
house; Mrs. Plummer's smoke-house was
robbed; Dempsey's store was robbed of a
lot of trinkets and doll babies; Conrad's
saloon was robbed of a lot of whisky, a
ten-dollar fiddle; and so on.
This work is being done by lot of
theiving loafers. 1t is neither to be
blamed to the citizens of Berlin nor the
miners.

Fine JeMelrY.

A few days ago we stepped into the
large Jewelry Store of H. o. Witte, on
Broadway street. and were surprised at
the extent and beauty of his stock of
goods. He has some of the most beauti-
full designs in Jewelry and Silverware
that we ever saw. Mr.. Witte is building
up a fine trade, and keeps fully up with
the demands of the trade for the latest
styles and most beautiful patterns. The
ladies especially should call and see his
beautiful designs in rings and sets of
jewelry. He also keeps large stock of
the best watches, clocks, ETC., and does
repairing, on short notice. Go and see
Witte's beautiful goods.

Rev. EARL CRANsToN was elected
book agent of the Methodist Book
Concern at Cincinnati vice DIR. Wal
den promoted to the Bishopric.
Cranston is young man for the place.
He is competent man and with ex-
perience will be invaluable in that po-
sition We take it that Mr.. Cranston
does not enjoy the pastorate as much as
some even in what are called the good
places and that he will be more at
home doing the will of his Master in
the business department of the church.
He can have no objection to the re-
sponsibility and a good salary.-Mari-
eta Register.
We used to think that when man
reached the age Of forty years, he was
wrowing old. Earl Cranston is forty
three. Robert Lincoln is only forty
one, and he makes pretty good Sec
rotary Of war, and he would do very
well for President.

On last Wednesday the suspension

On last Wednesday the suspension
bridge across the Scioto, at Ports
mouth fell, killing two children nam
ed Zella and Earl Fulwiler. An OK
team, with load Of stone, was cross
ing the bridge, and Mrs. Fulwiler and
three children were also crossing.
The lady had the baby in her arms,
but was thrown into the river and
had to release it. The baby was not
found. The little boy, Sammy, came
up out Of the water, seized hold of the
ruins, and, also seized the clothing Of
his little sister, and held her until
help came. But she was killed by the
falling bridge. The Portsmouth Times
lays the blame for the accident to the
penurious spirit of the County Com
missioners. The brid dge was long con-
sidered unsafe. The deceased were
grandchildren Of a brother Of Mr..
John Beatty, of this County.

We think it about time that Minis
ters of the Gospel should take into
serious consideration the question as
to whether it is the proper thing for
them to consume any great amount
Of time in attending to the alleged
spiritual wants Of condemned murd-
erers. We believe that the earnest,
Jealous efforts of the Ministers on be-
half of the brutes who deliberately
take human life, has a tendency to
bring reproach upon the Holy Office,
while it is a matter of serious doubt
whether they do the murderer any
good.
Matters have reached that point
where a Minister is considered as
much a part of the execution Of the
death sentence as the Sheriff himself.
As in the case Of Stephens the mur-
derer generally revels in his own
wickedness until the last hope Of es-
cape from the gallows has been blot
ted out, then sends for the Minister to
come and give him passport to Eter-
nal Glory, just as he would call upon
Railway Agent, for passport to go
upon journey. Then after the good
man shall have prayed with him a
few times, the condemned will mount
the gallows and give to those assemb-
led to witness the execution Of the
sentence of the law the solemn assur-
ance that he "forgiv,s s everybody"
That is, the brute who slew his fellow
man deliberately for the purpose of
stealing his goods, and is killed for
his wickedness, forgives the good peo-
pie Of this world, and very much de-
sires them to live better lives, so that
they may meet him in Heaven"
We have become firmly convinced
that it would be better for the church,
better for the Ministers, and as we'll
for the murderers, if very little time
were wasted by Ministers in trying
to beat into the heads Of brutal
murderers a belief that they are going
to make a grand leap from the gal
lows to glory. 1t is significant fact
that the trap of gallows always
swings doDnward.

Judicial Convention!

AT Republican meeting held at Chillicothe, Ohio
May 1h 1884, to fix the time and place for holding the
republican Judicial Convention for the fth Judicial
Circuit, and the ratio of representation A. H. Brook
was elected Chairman, and d. A. Russell Secretary
June 25 1884, was the time fixed upon, and Ports
mouth Ohio selected the place, the ratio repre-
sentation one delegate to every four hundred votes
ana faction over two hundred cast for Hon. j. b. For
aker, for Governor at the October election A. D.,
1883, and the Chairman and Secretary of the said
meeting were authorized to call said convention. We
therefore, in accordance with said authority do
by call Republican Judicial Convention of the
Fourth Judicial Circuit of Ohio to meet at Ports
mouth, Ohio, at 10 O'Clock a. m June 25 A. d. 1884, to
put In nomination three candidates for Judges of
said Crcuit-to be voted for at the coming election.
Each county in said Circuit is entitled the follow
ing number of delegates:

to the house. When Stephens heard the
shots he ran, falling over the fence, stun
ming himself badly. Then he ran and was
called back by the signal of Luke's re-
volver.
Other reports connect the name of Ste
phens' mother with that of Bill Neither
cutt in an unenviable light, as being the
cause of the murder of the senior Ste
phens, and intimate that the woman was
strongly suspicioned of having assisted
in it. Also that Laban's story of the
manner of the fathers murder is tradi-
tion of which he knew little of the reality,
and that his father was murdered in his
bed at home. However these stories may
be, Stephens evidently comes of very bad
stock, and the world would now be bet
ter, perhaps, if he had never been born.
Stephens implicated Andy Moore in
the plot to rob Lackey, but this was
shown at the Stephens trial here.
Mr.. L. May was present at the execu-
tion, and Immediately after the man was
taken down, took the scaffold to pieces
and had it removed to the depot for ship
ment to Jackson. This scaffold was
built by Mr.. May from ideas of his own,
as he had no drawings or model as a
guide, and it is simply constructed, and
highly successful in it's operation. The
trap used is the same from which Jack
son was dropped. There are two plat
forms for this scaffold-one single and
the other double traps.
So we are at last done with the infa-
nous Laban Stephens. He was tried
three times, convicted twice, and one
jury disagreed. 1t was almost thirteen
months from the time of the murder
until the last of the murderers was exc
cuted, and even so long a delay is a
disgrace to the very name of Courts of
Justice. Jackson county pays all the
expenses of the execution of Stephens.
Sheriff Jones, of Pike, who is pleasant,
active little gentleman, did his work
thoroughly, without a mishap of any sort.
He gets the princely remuneration of
thirty-eight cents for his work.
