en- for the EVENING STAR.
Across the Way.


Across the Way.
When dawn was lighting the rosy heaven,
AT four in summer, In winter seven,
Ere Phebus glowed,
Or yet the city had turned In its bed,
There by the window with needle and thread,
She sat and sewed.
And as the hand so bus ly piled,
A baby boy played soft by her side
The whole day long:
And sad ana sweet In the evening mild
We're heard the voices Of mother and child
In gentle song.
Mid toll and trouble and dire despair,
The child's smile solaced the mothers care
Thro' dreary years:
For the little one had his fathers face
That faded away from her fond embrace
With burning tears.
But there came day when the song was stfu
And the needle stopped at the window sill,
For the babe was low;
And there came day when the boy was dead
And cold and pale In his little bed
Where the violets blow.
No longer the woman sits and sews,
No longer the tear Of sorrow flows
Or memories throng;
For the gentle tones Of mother and child
Are mingleJ again in the evening mild
In angel song.

and that a loving heavenly Father is
not unmindful of them in their sore
distress, and whether storms assail or
sunshine smiles upon us, He sdoeth
all things we'll"
Mr.. Mckibben, our new clerk of court
has taken up his residence here and
his family is expected in a few days.
Past experience has made him familiar
with the duties of his Office and bust
ness in his Office moves along without
a jar.
We paid a short visit to Petty Bros,
fine sandstone quarry last Tuesday.
We found a force of men in their shirt
sleeves, getting out a splendid quality
of stone. Petty Bros. have a fortune
in that quarry and The STAR hopes
they may speedily secure the wealth it
represents.
Geo. Loan, of Grand Island, Neb., is
another of those sensible people who
proposes to let our Hot Springs hold
an argument with his rheumatism
while he will be judge and jury in the
case. We will wager our last years
hat that the Minnekahta spring water
m out ahead and will secure a fa-
vorabie verdict from Judge Loan.
1t is safe to presume that after this
week, Fall River county will have a
live county clerk, one who will attend
to the duties of his office in a clerical
manner. In this, the county is to be
congratulated, as Charley Sawyer will
greatly disappoint his friends il he does
not prove an excellent official Ochichs
AdfOcMte.
The STAR most heartily endorses the
above complimentary allusion to u
new county clerk. Mr.. Sawyer will
not disappoiMt his friends.
j. NJ. Allen of Cleveland Ohio. in his
far away home, heard of the wonderful
Minnekahta Springs and determined
to test their healing qualities. He ar
rived last Wednesday and is a cues; of
| the Minnekahta Hotel and IN due time
will sing the praises Of Mlnnekahta wa
ter. Mr.. Allen claims the honor of bring
ing the first domestic fowes into Dako-
ia. Along in the tifties he reached
Sioux Falls, ahead Of Judge Brookings,
and among his possessions were a shang-
hal hen and rooster, and the first civil
lied crow in Sioux Fails or Dakota for
that matter, was by Mr.. Aliens shang-
hal.
The enterprising people of Hot
Springs have concluded to advertise
our to the world. Accord
iugly a double column in the STAR is
devoted to that purpose. We hope
that ali our subscribers after reading
their STAR will mail it to some friend
or acquaintance, in the hope Of in
ducing immigration and the inflow of
capital to utilize the nature
has so lavishly bestowed upon this
country. Do not wait for your neigh
bors to boom the town and county but
do it yourself. Do not wait until

pers to send away can be obtained at

PlTTsBuReH's HORROR.

Tho Seventeenth Body Recovered and nm
\ Unknown Number In the Ruins sun
(PTrsBUReH, Pa, Jan. 10.--The search
for victims in the ruins wrought by yes
terday's awful storm was prosecuted all
night and to-day, and will be vigorously
continued until the debris is all cleared
away. This will probably take several
days and the exact number of victims Will
not bo known until the work is completed.
At 0 O'Clock this morning the mangled re-
mains Of John L. Rogers and Thos. Jones
were found close together, under portion
Of one Of the walls of the Welden build
ing. They were horribly mutilated.
They were employed as brick -masons on
the ill-fated Wiley building, and lived
at Castle Shannon, Pa. Joseph Goehring,
the brave sixteen year old lad, who was
rescued last night after being kept alive
for several hours by means of gum hose,
through which whisky and beef tea were
fed to him, died at Mercy Hospital this
morning. A number Of the wounded are
in critical condition. and their deaths
are momentarily expected. None of the
men reported missing have been heard
from. There. is no hope of any now in the
ruins being alive, so that it is safe to say
that the death list will exceed score.
The morgue was beseged with callers all
day, end many heart-rending scenes were
enacted as anxious visitors discovered,
in the bruised and distorted features of
the dead, the well known faces OF loved
ones OF friends. The bodies lay on cots,
covered by sheets, only the faces being visi-
BILE. and unless for the purpose of identiii-
cation not further exposed. The west wall
of the Wiley building, which had been
left standing, was SO shaky this morning
that itendangered the lives of the rescuers,
and about noon it was torn down. The
policemen and county officials are satisfied
that at least twenty persons are still in
the wreck. Many eye-witnesses have come
to the front who state that they are posi-
tive when the first shock occurred that a
number Of persons were in the alley back
of the Welden and adjacent stores. -Four
bodies were taken from the ru ins to-day,
making sixteen so far recovered. At mid
mig hit the seventeenth body, that Of Charles
McKeown, packer for Welden s. Co., was
found in the rear of the store. His head

LION MEETS HIS MATCH.

He Tackles the Elephant, Empress, Who
Slings Him Across the stable and Quiets
Bim-He Slaughters Camel, How
ever, Before He Starts After tho Bigger
Game.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. ia battle be-
tween lion and an elephant alarmed the
people of Frankford, and but for the
speedy victory of the huge beastit is fear
ed that disastrous consequences would
have resulted. The fight occurred in Lo-
wande's barn, where number of wild
animals that travel with O'Brien's circus
are being wintered by John Gather. On
Saturday the lion broke the bars
Of his cage, and soon had his free
dom. Having been kept on short rations,
the king Of beast started in to have royal
feast, and a meek -eyed camel was selected
for the principal dish. With one bound
the lion was on tho camel's back, and his
claws sank deep into the flesh. His
huge fangs soon tore a hole In the neck
of the camel, and the lion was sucking
at its blood. The keeper conceived the
idea of turning the vicious elephant EN-
press onto the lion. Empress was undis-
mayed at the growls of the lion. She had
witnessed too many such scenes, besides
she had killed FIVE keepers since she had
been in captivity, and seemed anxious to
add to her laurels. Tho lion rose as
Empress approached, buthe was not quick
en- ough to get out Of the way, for with one
powerful blow from her trunk Empress
hurled the king Of beasts against the stable
wall. The lion made dash at Empress
with wild fury. He leaped upon her hind
quarters and the elephant trumpeted with
rage and pain as she felt the lions claws
scratching her thick skin, but odds
were against tho king of beasts, for he
was quickly routed from his position at
the point of pitchfork by the keeper, and
the elephant returned just in time to catch
her antagonist on her trunk. She held him
high in the air for moment, and then
hurled him clear across the stable. The
lion was evidently severely hurt, for he
kept 80 still that the men had little trouble
in lassoing and leading him into another
cage. The camels carcass was skinned
yesterday and the meat served to the ami
mails.

HORSE-THIEF'S DIARY
Throws Light on an Ohio Murder
Committed Twenty-Five
Years Ago.
A Record of the Murder end Robbery Of
Jacob Baughman, Near GAINESVILLE.


WICHITA, KAs., Jan. Ill. w. Cook, a
cattle man, from the Territory, brings in
telligence that may assist in unraveling a
mysterious murder in Ohio twenty five
years ago. He, in company with party Of
men, had followed n gang of horse thieves
that had stolen ponies of the Creek Indians
up along the banks of the Canadian river.
Here, In q dug-out, they hemmed in two
of the gang, and after a protracted siege,
in which one of his own men was wounded,
one of the thieves killed and the
other fatally wounded, they gained
en- trance to the hut. Under some
stones upon the floor they found
letters, counterfeit money and q book,
which it seemed belonged to one of the
mon, and in which he had kept the record
of his doings. The book as shown by Mr..
Cook is yellow with age and damp, but
the pages were intact and told of the muir
der in the fall of 1868 Of Jacob Baugbman,
twelve miles southwest of GAINESVILLE, o.
The writer, together with two others, had
come upon the old man, who was living in
farm house alone, about mile from tho
village of Roseville, and gaining entrance
to his home knocked him in the head with
an axe, and took away about 81 900 in
money. 1t also states that they endeav-
ored to throw the body into
a well, but that the hole was
too small, and gives other particulars
CT the crime. Cook says that both the
men died before he could get any informa-
tion as to which was the owner of the
book. But little attention to the matter
was paid by the gentlemen to whom the
story was related until to-day, when
Cook was telling the circumstances to j.
w. Baughman, of this city. The latter
says he was nephew Of Jacob Baughman;
that the murdcrers have SO far gone un-
punished, and that he will secure the book,
which is still in Mr.. Cooks possess ion, and
hopes by that means to bring them to JUS
tice. IL still alive.

falling into her face. and q great deal of
it going directly into her mouth and down

Yearned for the Penitentiarv.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Matthew Feeney. an
Irish boy who came to this city short
time ago, pleaded guilty to charge Of
burglary to-day. Judge Tuthill became
interested in him on account of his frank,
honest appearance, and elected from him
his story, which was to the effect that he
had been unable to get work, that he was
starving, and that he committed the burg
larry for the purpose of being sent to the
penitentinry, where he could learn trade.
Judge Tuthill wrote letter to the COM
missioner of public works recommending
that something be found fer the boy to do,
saying that If this were done he would re-
lease him
