An Indiana Murderer Caught In
Kansas City.

About one year ago a fearful tragedy
was enpcted at Boonville, Indiana, BY
which e yourg man lost his life and an
other became fugitive from Justice. It is
only repe ition OF the old, old story, q

A Breezy Letter.
Editor Bdzoo:

Editor BdzOo:
hear that the BAzoo is more rel giCu-
than il used to be. | am glad to tar il.
Time sooner or later will sober US all
little. There is time to laugh snd there
is time to weep. Life is not all comedy
or all tragedy. The Que shall temper the
other. When / come there by and by,
would it not be good idea 10 employ me
to write up the Sunday tdition? 1 would
show you that it would be readable, and
be read toe "by the people on this earth"
and when they come to the dumping Lff
place" ii would be good deal easier for
them, and is it not worth while to plan q
little for the jumping of plsce." The ex.
pertinent would be worth trying. If sny-
one thinks there is no wit nor wisdom. n
pleasure, no anecdote, no blood and thun-
der, no shot and shell IN religious reading,
he is quite mistaken, and then when one
lsys down the paper, better thoughts and
hopes end plans come into his soul.
We often think of the BAzoo. II is a
strange compound and suppose Its pro-
prietor thinks Sd is tn. world All too
true.
Old Jim kelsey used ID say to man
"Now i will curse you, then / will bless
you, aud that Will leave you just where L
found you" But We cannot quite do that.
Everything bit a ship leaves its track be-
hind. Even savings bank does not al
ways save, ard minister sometimes does
more harm than good. "If the trump-t
gives al uncertain SOUND who shall prepare
himself 10 the battle" But must not
morslizs too much or you will not print it.
Cameron Is a moral place. We have no
gambling here, not even at church fairs.
Only four saloons and they are running
low. Only seven ministers Of the white
persuasion, sever lawyers. all honest but
one, and he is too honest to follow the law
or gospe, two banks and al the clerks
manage to live on their salaries like
minister. Doctors, do no, count, We are
first cousins and have to attend their
funerals gratis, which are many, though we
have not much serious sickness.
We have two newspapers, both republi-
c,n in politics, and they are good sheets
and well edited. Democracy does not
thrive here ss it should, there is missionary
ground for some good christian dem'cra
prohibiiionist preferred. "Think upon

The Australian government has
passed a law forbidding servile labor
on the Sabbath and on the legal holi-
days, and regulating the hours of la
Dor during the week. The working
day for male adults in all trades and
in domestic service, with certain ex-
ceptions, is limited to eleven hours.
Occasional extensions of this time are
allowed to certain employees, such as
railway servants, hackney coachmen
and conductors, postmen and porters,
but the extension is never to exceed
an extra hour. Night work for women
and for boys under sixteen is permit
ted only in few exceptional cases.
Youths employed as walters may,
provided they have not been on duty
during the daytime, be worked from
s p. m. till midnight, but they are ON
10 account to be kept at work after
midnight. The pauses for meals are
not to be reckoned within the maxi
mum time of labor.

There were men with sheep and cattle
And others there with pigs.
There we're men with grain and "taters,"
With poultry, fruit and corn,
With great dig wstermelOns
And few who had "horn,''
There were women too, with ''jim cracks"

And quilts that took the "blue."
There were women there with ielIies
And some with cakes and bread,
And few of these were tOOthsome,
But the most would theft" with lead.
