MIS-, W'in,low.s soothIug syrup,

Mrs. Minslow's Soothing Syrup.
Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes In the
Boston Christian Freeman:-We would
by no means recommend any kind of
medicine which we did not know to be
g0od-particularly for infants. But OF
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup we can
speak from knowledge, In our own
family it has proved blessing indeed
by giving an infant troubled with collie
pains quiet sleep, and the parents I'M
broken rest at night. Most parents can
appreciate these blessings. Here is an
article which works to perfection and
which is harmless; for the sleep which |,
affords the infant is perfectly natural, and
the little cherub awakes "hright as a but
ton" Aud during the process of teeth.
ing its value is incalculable. We have
frequently heard mothers say that they
would not be without it from the birth OF
the child till it had finished with this
teething siege, ON any consideration
whatever. Sold by all druggists. 2
cents a bottle.

The conversion of the old Washington
SQUARE into a great railroad depot, 10
looked upon favorsbly by many OF the city
officers. II now appears that the scheme
has been maturing in the brain OF Jay
Gould for some time past, and that the
mans for the depot and the route OF the
tracks from the opening OF the tunnel have
haen already mapped out, but Gould and
his intentions are greatly disturbed. Ihe
project is a very large one, and if the rather
remote idea of utilizing the ground for a
future city hall be abandoned there is nc
doubt that the depot scheme will come to

A Hamstrung Horse Thief.

She riff Wallace, OF Moberly, passed
through the city yesterday having IN
char.e Wm. Reeves, the horse thief who
sprang from the train ard broke his leg
near Schell City. The Nevada Mad in
speaking OF the matter says:
This morning Schell City was very much
excited over the attempted escape OF q
noted horse thief, j. w. Reeves, from the
early morning north bound train.
Shortly after the sun had risen Henry
Mayer found man lying by the railroad
track and apparently suffering. The pros
trsie man called and asked Mayer to pull
IF h $ boot, but the request was refused.
MAYER hurried on 10 town and told what
he hid seen, and J. II. Gooch and NJ. v.
Herndon started out to invest gate the
matter mo:e fully. They found the man
living at the place where he had first been
seen. and soon discovered that he was
handcuffed. The injured man was suffer-
ing int MS ly. One OF his ancles was bro
ken and the other dislocated, While there
were various other bruises and fractures.
He was taken TO town and there the acci-
dent was explained.
The mans name was Reeves. He had
been arrested by Sheriff Newton, of Wright
county. and turned over to Sheriff Ksyan-
augh, of Morgan. Mr.. Ksvanaugh was on
his way to Bo0nville to turn his prisoner
over 10 Sheriff Wallace, OF Randolph
county. At Moberly he was wanted Tor
several horse thefts. He was one OF gang
which had been at work in Central Mis-
souri, for some time.
Between Harwood and Schell Ciy, sher-
iff Ksvanauch, who was very much IA
tigu.d, tel asl ep. The prisoner saw his
oypor tuui'y, and watched for good place
to jump from the train. Mistakinng the
tops of the weeds along the track Tor the
ground, he made the leap, and fortunately
| for the state, with the result above stated.
At Schell City the ofic T left the train,
and in company with COn'table Miller
commenced search for the fugitive.
The rewards offered for Reeves sggre'
gated $l25.

A Close Gall.

The deniz.ns of the north side were
stsrIlel from their slumbers between 10
ard II O'Clock last night by the sharp re-
port of q pistol in the neighborhood OF
Missouri and Pettis avenues, followed by
the sound of hurried footsteps beating
ha.ty retreat Westward on Pet'is street The
eau.e of the uproar proved to be an at
tempt M ade by an unknown party to enter
the r, sidence of James Quinn as is sup
posed, with burglarious intent. He was
discovered by Quinn, however, who shot al
him throug ii the window, and who claims
the failure Of his pistol to fire the first time
i, all that saved the intruder's life. About
six weeks ago q similar attempt was made
on the premises and the individual es,
capped by the skin OF his teeth. As the third
time il said to be the charm, Mr.. Quinn Is
snxious to have tbs unknown call again.

An UplV Fight.

Dan Bartlett, the teamster, and John
Fry, one of the worst mokes that ever dis
greced Sedalis, got into a wordy war on
West Main street yesterday, which culmi.
mated in blows. Bartlett struck Fry wi, h
a stick he had in his hand for calling him
vile name, and Fry returned the compIit
ment by knocking Bartlett out of time with
a rock. Fry fed otter committing the deed
and as soon as he was sufficiently recovered,
Bartlett came up and reported to the po-
lice, who made a fruirlsss search Tor the
pugilistic coon. If be hiss LETT the city Tor
good, it is a good radiance, but ii he re-
turns, be will be very apt to have TO pay
the penalty for his conduct. Bartlett has
a very ugly wound on the back of his
head from the blow given by the rock, and
also has several other pretty severe bruises.
