Nevada Mail.
officer Mapes passed through here
yesterday en- route for Fort Scott,
with negro man named Kouch.
whom he helped capture near Rich
Hill,in possession of stolen property.
Speaking of the prisoner, the Fort
Scott Tribune says: Kouch turns
out to be one of the most notorious
thieves III the country. He has been
playing his vocation for years IN
Western Missouri and Eastern Kan
sas with the most astonishing success.
MIR. Mapes gives the following
record of Kouch since the 14th inst.
On that date he stole horse from
man named Turner, near Hoover,
Mo. He rode the animal two miles
and it refused to cross bridge, when
he was compelled to turn it loose.
From here he went a mile and a
halt beyond and stole mare, heavy
with foal, from a Mr.. Thompson.
He rode this animal to the Rich Hill
coal mines, where IT got loose from
him and went back home. Kouch
lounged about Rich Hill few days
and then stole mare, colt and sad
die from Dewitt Smith, three and a
half miles south OF that city. The
colt would not lead, so he turned it
loose. He brought the mare to
within four miles of Fort scott.
Here he traded 1t off to J. w. Fair
man for a soTrel horse and cow. he
left the cow with Fairman anC
brought the horse TO Fort Scott
leaving it in the care of colOreC
man named Moore, in East For
Scott. This was on the 23d. Oh
the night OF the 24th he went to Lex
Gray's and stole his mares. On til
s5th instant he traded one to Mr.
Shoemaker, near Grard, for buggy
set of harness and $25. The othe
one he traded to Mr.. Hershma
for big sorrel horse. He put th
horse in the buggy he got from Nj
Shoemaker and returned to Fo
Scott. This was on last SATURDAY.
He went to the house of the colore
:, man (Moore) and took the sorr
horse he stole from + alrman, tied
" behind his buggy and started f

the Cardinal that the organization

to merit prescription by the Catho-

were considered by the Arcbbish-

Mr.. PowderIy is himself a strict
Catholic, and has several prominent
Priests who are pronounced in the

is very probable that the Cardinal

THE LAW taxing Oleomargarine
Went into effect on the first instant,
aud consumers cannot now be I'M
posed on by having bogus butter
sold them for the pure article. The
New York Tribune OF tn 2d instant
has this to say on the subject:
''The great rush yesterday of oleomar-
garine manufactures and wholesale
dealers for internal revenue stamps and
licenses is the best possible proof that
the bogus butter tax law was needed
1t shows the immensely Of the fraud
perpetrated upon the consumers, for,
heretofore, if one judged only from the
amount OF oleomargarine in sight in the
market, two or three factories could
have supplied it all, Now, probably, a
different state of things will prevail.
Packages bearing oleomargarine stamps
will presently be seen in every direction,
and il will be the consumers own fault
if he buys what he don't want. Under
these conditions there may be no more
objection to the manufacture of bogus
butter than of any other imitation article
OF trade,
