4 Dead Man Found.

While three boys were out hunting
between Arnold Moss and Mr.. M. n.
LANES on the evening of March 10th,
and passing along the side of slough,
they discovered an object lying in the
water that drew their attention. On a
close examination the object proved to
be the body of a man. They at once
notified the neighbors living near who
repaired to the spot. The body Was
fished out but had deeayed SO it was
beyond reorganization, but was finally
identified by the clothing to be man
named Boss Hackworth who disap-
peared from the neigh borhood the lat
ter part of last October. A cOroner's
inquest was held on the body before
Squire Ijames on the morning of the
Goth, the jury rendering verdict that
deceased, Boss Hack worth, came to his
death 10y means unknown to the jury.
Deceased was a single man and had
worked around the neighborhood up to
the time of his disappearance. He was
never considered very bright, and it is
supposed that in attempting to cross
the slough on a foot log, slipped and
fell into the water-PiednaOnt Leader.

Cure for Piles.

PILES are frequently proceeded by sense
of weight in the back, loins AMI lower parts
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
pose he has some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times, symptoms of
indigestion are present, as fiatuency, I'M
easiness of the stomach. etc. A moisture,
like perspiration, producing very Disagree
able itching, after getting warm. is a very
common attendant. Blind, Bleeding ana
Itching Piles yield ut once to the application
of DIR. Bosanko'> Pile Remedy, which acts
directly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and
effecting permanent cure. Price, 30 cents.

NOT A TRUE BILL"
Henson EXOnerated.

From the FredericktOarn PidiRdedler.
Monday the grand jury examined
into the killing of Matthew Hale, alias
Anderson, by Henry Henson, with the
result, as always expected, that no in
dictment was found. The testimony
did not differ materially from the ac-
counts heretofore published concerning
the affair except that the mule thief's
wife testified that the first shot was
fired by her husband instead of Hem
son, as she had said when asked here
tofore. After her husband had been
arrested and before his death she told
Prosecuting Attorney Edwards much
concerning his previous record which
induced that official to write to the au-
thorities of Tennessee which resulted
i'm the letter appearing below, i'm which
the wOman's story was fully c0rrobora-
ted.
1t may not be out of place in this
connection to state that the woman's
presence here since her husbands
death has not cost the county one cent.
She remained of her own consent and
the statement that her board Was at
the county's expense is not true. The
following is copy of
THE LETTER:
GAINEsBORo, Tenn, MARCH II, 1885.
vi IL. -. r.. EDW ARIS,
DEAR SIR-Yours of the oth inst. to hand
and in reply will say that one Nj. ID. l.. An
derson alias Lafayette Anderson alias Fayette
Anderson was indicted here some several
years ago for drunkenness and forfeited his
bond and left his securities to suffer. After
wards he was indicted again for assault and
battery, but was never arrested on the last
named charge.
There were several desperate characters
running at large doing all manner of mis-
,ah SO IiS,r nd
stores. going to houses in day time when the
men were gone and making the women cook
for them, etc, etc; and it Is said and @ener-
ally believed that Fayette Anderson was the
leader of said lawleS> gang. Every effort
Imaginable has been made by the Sheriffs of
this and surrounding counties To arrest him
and his gang. hut they have failed so far. At
one time they fired on the officers and in the
meantime Anderson was shot in the arm
near the wri>t-in the right arm think-and
the Sheriff informs me that he was also shot
in one side of the face, and he thinks the
right side. He is about b or 81 years of
age. something near feet high
The Sheriff informs me that he Is indicted
in an adjoining county for robblnga store
He wants YOU To write back and lei him know
whether or not he is there and what charge
there is against him.
< The Sheriff arrested one of the gang and
he is now serving out a sentence of fifteen
years i'm the penitenliary. Anderson Is re-
garded a very bad man by all good citi-
Zens here and Il dangerous man to be at large
in any community. The present Sheriff has
been making every effort to get him and is
now anxious to know his whereabouts. He
is sometimes gone for "a few months and Is
then back again. He is sharp man and
hard to catch aud easy to take hint. If you
havn't got him in Jail don't let him know
anything and write soon and address.

A Rebuke to SIandererS.
From the Republicdn.

FROM me ItepuOtlc0R.
The following communication, which sets
at rest the great clamor which some of the
local and state papers have been making con-
corning an alleged gouge in the location of
the branch penitentiary, was telegraphed to
the Republican last night:
CAPE GIRARDEAU, June ca Editor Re-
publican.l-So much has been said about the
rate that was to be charged the state for land
in the city of Cape Girardeau that hope you
will grant me small space IN your paper to
state the facts. First desire to say that the
land in question and the adjacent land has
always been held at the price of 5000 per
acre, and that within the last two years a
forty -acre tract adjacent has been laid out
and sold for more than that price, in part
Second, that the inspectors of the penitenti-
airy after locating the institution at Cape
G1rardeau expressed desire to purchase
portion of this land, but that they did not
agree to pay 5000 per acre, but left the matter
open until they should come to this city to
look at the various sites offered, and that
when they came to our place, in order to
throw no obstacle in the way of the work,
proposed to them that if the land suited
the tract consisting of 800 acres as would
suit the purpose intended, at price they
might fix themselves, upon hearing from re-
liable parties what the adjacent land had sold
for; or they would select disinterested citi-
Zens of the state to appraise the value of the
land; or, If that did not suit, that would
give the state site of twenty acres free of
cost. The taxpayers of the state can Judge
from this whether any speculation to sell land
lies at the bottom of my action in the prem
ises. In addition to the foregoing, in order
to make the penitentiary located here a sue
cess, have executed papers giving to the
state the timber off 900 acres of land on
which stand mt least $4,000 cords of wood
free of cost. Again, have executed docu-
ments donating to the state free of cost a
large deposit of free limestone rock within
two miles from where the prison is to be
bullt-this right to belong to the state forever
and to be exercised whenever the quarries on
the state purchase shall prove insufficient.
Again, as president of the Cape Girardeau
and Southwestern Railway, / have fixed
a rate of 4 cents per hundred on the cord
wood and stone to be used in the prison and
also fixed rate for carrying prisoners at one
cent mile to and from work in the state
timber or state stone quarries. Of course
expect that the location of the prison In
Southeast Missouri will not only benefit Cape
Girardeau and Southeast Missouri, but also
myself, in attracting more general attention
to our great and varied resources, and 1 re-
specially ask that be judged by facts and
not by the wrath of disappointed localities.
Respectfully, LOUIS HoUCK.

very mild under the exasperating cir

One of the first copies fell into the

The Council emphatically disapproved
