THE post office burglars were kind
enough to donate Postmaster Allen
a whisky flask.
Your toilet is incomplete without
one of those beautiful neckties at

burglars with tools.
LETTERS remain in the post office

No one need go without a nice

Bohan & Sims are selling them very

WITH regret the assertions of diff

that cut worms and ants are doing
great damage to the corn.

-BootlesS Burglars.

Monday night, or early Tuesday
morning rather, fruitless attempt
was made to burglarize the safe in
the post Office of this city. Entrance
was effected by cutting a panel out
of the side door in the rear hall of
the building. This done and the
would-be knaves gained access right
into the post Office department Two
holes were bored in the door of the
safe, one into the combination lock,
which was charged with powder and
set off, but the blast failed in fore
ing an opening. The cap sheet of
the door was only sprung at the bot
tom, and the lock so injured that it
would not serve its purpose when
operated upon by postmaster Allen
in the morning in trying to open the
safe.
From all indications the burglars
made no further effort upon their
first proving a failure. Time must
have been very precious with them
from the fact that they only had to
accomplish their task from l o'clock
the hour Mr. Allen left the office
until day break, which sets in very
early at this season of the year.
Both front and back doors were
forced open by prying from within,
for the convenience of escape, if
detected, is the supposition. About
g O'Clock in the morning some one
or two citizens went into the post
Office upon seeing the front door
open, and thus it was first discover.
ed that anything unusual had hap
pened during the night.
Although the front and back doors
were both wide open, the room was
then filled with smoke from the ex
plosion. A sledge hammer and
chisel were laying near the safe, the
former recognized as the property
of VIM Smith, the blacksmith, and
the chisel as that of Jas. Penhalle
gon 5, carpenter.
For years it has been customar,
for the clerk or assistant postmaste
to bunk in the office, but owing tC
poor ventilation, so detrimental tC
health, once in awhile of late, the
worthy assistant has gone home fol
a good rest, this night proving one
of those occasions.
1t is quite evident from a glance
over the scene of action that the
culprits were not experts, and it is
the general opinion that it was home
talent.
Only a few stamps have beer
found missing, but the damage t
the safe is considerable.

ComplrolIer of I'D Cnrrency.

A MAN named Mills was brought
up yesterday charged with cruel
treatment of boy, son of James
Baldwin, Of Lancaster. After the
mothers death two or three years
ago, the boy was bound out to Mills.
He is now but seven years old and
is quite a small boy, yet it is alleged
that he has been put 10 constant
hard labor, such as ehopping wood
and herding and feeding cattle, all
through the winter Last Saturday,
with the assistance Of a neighbor of
Mills, the boys father captured the
boy and brought him here. 1t is
said they took him when they found
him on the road, sent out after cattle
at 4 o'clock in the morning What
ever the cause the boy is in bad con.
dition. His feet are warty and very
rough and have the appearance of
having been badly frozen. The toe
nails are gone. His hands are in
like condition. The ends OF the
fingers Of one hand are black with
large blood blisters, said TO have
been made by striking him over the
ends of the fingers with stick 1t
is claimed that n wrist is broken by
knocking him in a like measure.
The boys face also has indications
Of harsh treatment. Whether this
is all owing to cruel treatment by
his master the Ieller will not un-
dertake to say as the trial is not con
cluded, but the boy was pitiful
looking sight on Saturday -La"cas-

TUESDAY evening telegram was
received by Mr. w. II. Curry, an
nouncing the death Of Miss Jennie,
second daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. II. Clark, formerly of this city,
which occurred in the afternoon Of
that day. This will prove sad news
to the many friends of the family
in Mineral Point. The deceased
has been in delicate health for sew
eral months and her recovery was
regarded as doubtful. She was a
young lady of exceptional bright
ness and intelligence, and her un-
timely death will prove great loss
and blow to the community Of
which she was part, while ,ae woe
which in consequence hath been
drawn from the broken, bleeding
hearts of Mr.. Clark and family can
not be described by mortal words.

Ir is too bad that the time has
come when all candidates and all
other prominent individuals have to
be subjected to the diabolical out
rage of having their pictures print
ed from cheap wood cuts, in the
daily and weekly newspapers. Some
of these pictures make saints APP
pear like devils, and devils like
saints. We need law in this
country to protect folks from being
caricatured by their pretended
friends. Blaine and Logan are just
now the most abused victims of this
very latest fashion Of the black art.

b. +. BARNES, who murdered his
wife at Boaz, Richland county, ON
February goth, was brought into
the circuit court on Friday last and
pleaded guilty to the charge Of mur
der and was sentenced by Judge
Clementson TO the penitentiary for
life. He received the sentence with
the utmost apparent stoIdity and
did not manifest any emotion if he
felt il. The murder was one of the
most cold-blooded that has ever been
committed in the county. Without
moments warning Barnes cut his
wife's throat with q knife, complete
ly seyering the jugular vein and
causing her almost instant death.
At the same time he tried to COM
NIT suicide by cutting a terrible
cash in his own throat, but failed to
accomplish his purpose. There was
never any satisfactory explanation
of the cause for the murder. II is
supposed to have been done in a fit
of dependency He confessed that
he had been planning the murder
and suicide for six months. Barnes
was one of the most prominent and
respected citizens Of the county
prior to the commission of the deed.
He is highly connected. He is so
years of age.

Everything goes wrong with the Wash
ington Post. Its last grievance is the
nomination OF CARTER HARRISON for Gov
ernor OF Illinois. CARTER is the man that
walked up the Iroquois Club Of Chicago on
one sth OF January, and told the members
that they were behind the times on the tariff
question. lie is the same gentleman that
went into the Illinois Democratic State
Convention last week and kindly informed
his booster Democratic brethren that there
were various shades Of opinion in the
Democratic party on the tariff question,
and got them, for that reason. to refuse to
instruct their delegates to the Democratic
National Convention to vote for resolution
declaring for "a tariff for revenue only"
And il is for these reasons, no doubt, that
the Post casts slurs upon the man whom
the same Convention nominated by sccla-
nation for Governor OF the great State OF
Illinois.

He has for years been the mayor OF
the Republican city OF Chicago. Pre-.
viously, he represented one Of the con.

has wonderful popularity. Like BLUE

which no other Democrat could carry. II

he will not be elected as II Is. Put ex-

Mr.. Malone is not indulging in his GUS
tomary promises TO carry Virginia. lie
has the sagacity to recognize that the fates
are against him this year. Besides. 1t is
doubtful il Malone really likes the head Of
the Republican ticket well enough to labor
zealously for It's election. BE that as 1t
may, Is is Of no consequence, for 1t is writ
ten that Virginia will go Democratic by u
handsome majority in November Wash

BLAINE will not waste any money upon
Virginia. General MALONE may be sure OF
that. Ohio, up to October eth, will demand
all the money the Republicans can raise.
After the result Of the Ohio election Is
known, the Republicans will decide
whether General MALONE shall have any
money or not.
