The wanderer Returns.

Last Sundays Gazette has thrilling account of the adventures and misfort- unes of an alleged Pope county "moon- shiner" who left home three years ago to avoid arrest, and after three years wandering gives himself up and de- mands a trial. The Gazette's account is as follows:
 During the latter part of December, 1885, John Church, then living few miles north of Dover, Pope county, was indicted by the federal grand jury, with others, charged with illicit distilling, and being informed by friend that the United States marshal had a warrant for his arrest he fled from his home and from the state, his wife and four small children accompanying him.
 All the time fearing arrest, Church concluded to go into the Indian Terri tory with his family and they first To- ca ted in the Cherokee Nation, where he resumed farming; but there he dId not feel safe and again started on journey, he knew not where. Leaving the na- ton they wandered about the territory, going here and there, remaining at no place longer than a week or so for fear of being pursued as he thought, by the officers, caused him no little misery and dread and, finally, the long journey brought on sickness in his family.
 Adding to his unhappy lot three of his children contracted fever, and 1t was but the work of few weeks that the little sufferers succumed to the in- evitable, thus reducing the family of six to three. All this he and his wife bore as best they could, and the latter part of last September found them at Webber's Falls, Cherokee Nation where they strived to earn few dollars in the cotton fields. Uneasy in mind, grief stricken at the loss of his children and weary ofa wanderers life. Church with his wife and one child returned to the state arriving only few weeks ago and yesterday he came to this city, claiming that he is not guilty as charged, and having no further desire to elude the officers, John Church inquired for the United States marshal's office and then he surrendered, was examined before a commissioner and released on his own rscognizancc for his appearance at the next April term of the federal court.

The Fruit ot Corrupt Politics.

Little Rock Gazette: The foul- est plot on the page of Arkansas his tory is the assassination of Col. John M. Clayton. Let no man underestimate the gravity of this offense, nor it's effect on commun- i:ies and parties. Had it occurred prior to 1874, when the demoraliza tion of war was still rife and passion had not cooled, the shock might not have been so great, although the crime would have been none tue less dia. bolical. But it comes at the end of fourteen years of peace and quiet, or local self.government by the bona fide citizens of the state, and at the | close of four years of national demo cratic rule, in the success of which the conduct of the southern states has been vital issue.
 There has never been time when such an occurrence as this could bring with it graver consequences. It IS the severest blow inflicted on Arkansas in many and many day, and it's damaging political effect will not stop a. state lines. nor sectional lines. It will be felt in every state and congressional district in the un- ion.
 In the name of heaven and every thing worth living on earth, is not this enough to put an end to crimin al politics? There is no honorable in- stinct of humanity that does not re- volt at this bloody assassination; and yet it is the natural consequence of the crime that preceded it at Plum merville. Who IS responsible for the existence of sentiment that will fol crate that which has gone before this? Let our public men look well to the skirts of their garments to see that no drop of this mans blood is on them. Let the press of the country aye, the Arkansas press-look well to it's pages to see if there be no blot on them. Let society pause long enough by this mans corpse to take it's bearings and see into that dan gers the contentious of corrupt pol itics are dragging it.

In Good Shape.

While talking to Mir. TIC. s. Hatch a few days ago we asked him a few pointers in regard to hls luck in the Louisiana State Lottery, and of the workings of the company. r.Hatch stated that he had been in the habit of investing for some months past a few dollars in the lottery. That he sent his money in and always receiv- ed his tickets promptly. He pur- chased ten fortieth tickets about 10th December, 1888, among the ten was No. 69,704, the same being the num- Der that drew the capital prize $600,- 900.
 What did you do when you were informed that you had drawn $l ,, ,00O Mir. ,HatchY
 "I went at once to Waco and de- posted my ticket with the American National bank, and took their receipt for the same"
 "Did you have any trouble in col lecting your money?'
 "None in the least Four days af, ter I deposited my ticket l was paid by the American National bank the Sl5,000."
 Do you think of investing your money, here, Mir Hatch!'
 Il do. shall invest principally in real estate"
 Mir. Hatch has wife and six cbil drcn. He was comparatively a poor man, working as overseer Of the w. F. Gaines big valley farm, three miles south ot McGregor, on saIa ". This good fortune has by no means made a fool of Mir Hatch. He is man of judgment and there is no donbt but that he wlIl properly in vest his money. Mir. Hatch will con- tinue as overseer for Col. Gaines. - McGregor (Tex. ] Observer, Jan. 3.
