A Remarkable Escape.

take which resulted in the death OF
the two young ladies from Hoboken,"
remarked well.kuown physician OF
this city, "reminds me that just such
an affair might have occurred in this
city some years ago, and there
pointing to a well-known lady
''goes the person who came very near
being the VICTIM" The doctor then
proceeded to relate that the lady in
question had visited him while sui.
fering from malaria and he prescribed
for her, prescribing quinine. Some
time after the medicine had been
purchased the druggist who sold il
visited the doctor in greet haste, say
ing: 81 have discovered that some
one has mixed the quinine and th'
opium pills and 1 gave that lady a 10
Of pills from the mixed jar. Fo

The doctor fastened to the hous

That WAS lust what he did not want

That was just what he did not want
her to be-sleeping, with the proba-
bility of having taken opium. He
insisted on seeing the young lady, ex-
amined the pills-the only way to
tell the opium from the quinine arti-
Gle being to cut them open-and dis
covered that every pill in the box
was an opium pill, while those taken
by the young lady had evidently been
qulnine and the only ones Of that sort
in the box! What an interposition
of providence that the innocent VIC
tim should have gotten hold of the
only pills in the box that were not

ransacked the house, but succeeded
in finding only $1.15, and then took |
to the woods. In the meantime, the
neighbors around Jeffries' were in
formed of the outrage, and collecting, |
followed King, arriving at MIR. Har-
ris' only few minutes after he had
gone. They were in hot pursuit but
were thrown off the trail by white
man who told them that he had gone
in an opposite direction from the one
he had really taken
This of course gave him great
advantage over his pursuers and they
were unable to capture him then and
up to the present writing he has elud-
ed his pursuers, Notwithstanding the
fact that fully 800 men have been
searching for him night and day
since he committed the enormous
crimes.
tits reported that the Bowles Bros.
found Kings trail in cornfield near
where the crime was committed, and
tracked him seven or eight miles in
the direction of Mexico, Mo. The
trail was lost by King taking Oft his
shoes when he came to road and
thenceforward in his bare feet. The
relatives of the outraged and injured
women have offered $500 for King 8
capture, and to this the state, through
Governor Marmaduke, adds $500.
The Sheriffs of Pike and Rails coun-
! ties, combined, offer another $3.50,
making the total sum $3.50, good
price for a negro to be used fol-
slaughtering purposes, for he will
certainly be lynched if captured,

HOW to be Beautiful.

Beauty has its foundations in phys
ical well being. Health .has its laws,
which must be understood and obey
ed; and these laws are clearly in
dicated in our physical and mental
constitutions. They demand
l. Proper food and drink in such
quantities as the system is capable OF
readily assimilating.
2 Air and sunlight in abundance
5 Sufficient exercise, rest and
sleep.
4 An agreeable temperature.
s Perfect cleanliness.
The whole secret Of a full form
and rosy cheeks lies in pure blood
manufactured from wholesome food
by. healthy and active vital organs
oxygenated and vitalized in well ex
| panded lungs, and kissed by the lit
giving sunlight on the surface OF th
warm cheek. She who will have tn
color she covets on any other term
must buy it Of the apothecary, an
renew it every time she makes he
toilet.

The Correct Idea.

The Lexington Intelligencer in over
a column article suitably skins Prof.
Lsnneau, president of the college Of
that city for going away for his
printing. The Lexington paper
among other things says:
We recognize the great value to Lexington OF
its schools. We have preached volumes from
that text. But. IL they send abroad for every
thing they must buy. of what good will they be
In a business point OF view? To say, because
grocery house here can not "vie" with David
Nichelson's. but therefore it is unworthy to be
pAtronized; because the Royle dry goods house
is not equal to Bars, we should send CT for
our goods in that line because Mr.. Robinson's
mill cannot pretend to compare with Gov.
stanard's in st. Louis that Prof. Lanneau should
buy his -four In Kansas City or because Messrs.
Grimes s Vsnable have not such an establish
latter for bis gold medals, is doctrine which
il carried to its legitimate result would bank
rupt the business.
II Prof Lanneau had had his catalogue print
ed lin Lexington more than half of his money
would have gone to the mechanics who did the
work. They in turn would have spent it with
our merchants In some cases it would have
changed hands three or four times before 1t left
town, leaving a profit and a benefit for each
| transaction. As 1t Is, 1t went directly away
from home to help build uplanother town. Our
| profit In IT wosld not have been very great. say
six or eight dollars. We could easily have kept
still and made more money out OF Prof Lam
neau thereby, but we have felt hurt at this
yearly advertisement being sent out that we
were not competent TO print pamphlet. We
have pigeon hole full of them before us, print
ed In st. Louis. Kansas City and other places
and none of them are better than we can ipre
pare. We do not care fig for the profit on th'
catalogue, but there Is a principle underlying
this whole thing that had as well be discussed
one time as another. If TO discuss it the pres
ident Of a school must be criticised, what o
that? We have the temerity to criticise syel
the president of the United States Singular a
1t may seem to President Lanneau we see moth
ing in our utterances for which we 81 ould eithe
feel ashamed or apologize, and we continue t
think that he ought to be ashamed OF sendin
7 printing to Kansas City.
, We are glad to be able to stat
that Hardin College never sends ava
for work or goods of any kind. It
! appreciated by Mexico and appr'

Forepaugh's Moral Shew.

The name of Adam Forepaugh is
a mighty tower of strength in the
amusement world, and is a certain
guarantee of excellence and superior
ity. The great exhibition will be
here Friday, Oct. 16, and there need
be no hesitation in saying that every
body rejoices. The Chicago Daily
NeUs, June 2, thus heartily commends
the Forepaugh colossus:
Mr.. Adam Forepaugh sat at the
entrance of his great circus tent on
the lake front yesterday afternoon
watching the multitudes of people
eddying about the ticket wagon and
then flowing under the canvas 10 q
rapid stream. He seemed to enjoy
the sight as much as the crowds in
the tent enjoyed the show which he
had brought to Chicago. Back Of
Mr.. Forepaugh was the animals tent
with curiosities ranging from a nine
days old monkey to Sarah Bernhardt,
the giraffe, and Bolivar, the big ele-
lphant. A great Indian tiger, with
yellow eyes and teeth enough to sup
ply whole menagerie, was pointed
out by bis awe-struck keeper as an
amiable beast which had ripped up
a man in Toledo A large number
of elephants belong to the show, they
and some magnificent trained stall
lions being the special care of Adam
: Forepaugh, Jr John l.. Sullivan,
. the sparrer, is a comicai little ele-
phant with a humorous twinkle in his
eye. His set-to with gloves with
|. 'Eph' Thompson, a gigantic negro,
: formed a novel and amusing part OF
4 the circus performance. Besides the
p usual bewildering array of jugglers
and tumblers, the circus presents
some excellent riding; George Rol
: land, handsome youth AID bold
:. and skillful rider, was well liked
;. ''Little Sandy" a very funny clown
4 created a great deal of laughter witt
his trick pig, donkeys and elephants
D. George Jagendorfer, the strong man
p performed some remarkable feats o
!; lifting. The most novel portion 0
n the entertainment was the feat 0
:. M'dle Kabowls, who threw hersel
from the top Of a pile Of ten table
u reaching nearly to the csnvas abou
,p the centre pole, and arrived safely oI
sn q cushion at the bottom. This dai
h. ing deed was repeated number c
- times. Trapeze performances, hippo
~ drome races, and similar features
made up the remainder Of the bil
which describes faultless entertain
ment.

july 31-S p. m.-Just woke; slept
like daisy. That man Smith must
be descended from some of the royal
families on the other side. His blood
is a very superior article, at any rate.
Wish I could strike the same brand
every night; I'd settle down in New
Jersey and buy farm. Speaking of
blood reminds me Of the cholera. 1
would not catch the cholera for any
amount Of money. Hereafter I will
carefully avoid every man who, I
have any reason to suspect, drinks
water.
9p. m.-Begin to feel hungry. 1
wonder where that man Smith is?
An! I remember; he has gone down
to Coney Island to spend Sunday.
Another good man gone wrong! !!
However, guess my Uncle Bill Gal
linippers can take care care OF him
while he's there. Uncle Bill knows
a good thing when he sees it. Got
letter from him only last week. He's
