two little boys, one three and the other
two years of age, have been living on
the farm of Tuck Hart, near Hughes
vile, in this county. Hendricks is
about q years old. and four years age
married Miss Cutie, whose parents
reside near Syracuse. She is about
II years old, handsome and buxpm,
and has hitherto been a faithful wife
and mother. Dave Hendriccks is
poor, Woodworking farmer, and his
tale of woe, as he stood on the plat
form of the Tnior Depot this morning
and related it to BAzoo reporte-, was
pitiful In the extreme.
David Hendricks has a younger
brother named Bede Hendricks, aged
about ~ or % years, who was always
welcome at his brothers house. Bede
has been section hand OH
the Missouri Pacific, but
lately has been spending
a good deal of time at his brothers
house near fayetteville. Dave never
suspected anything between his
brother and his own wife until yester-
day morning, when he returned from
the fields where he had been at work,
and entering mis- humble abode, saw
that which chilled his blood 10 the
marrow and frOze every instinct of
brotherly love to the core. He left
the house and wandered off into the
fields again in order to regain his
paralyzed senses and decide what TO
do. The guilty pair knowing that
they were detected, hurriedly took the
little baby boys to a neighbor's, and
leaving them with some trivial ex-
cuse, boarded the train on the Lexing
ington branch, arriving in Sedalia
yesterday morning at 1890 o'clock. |
Carnes knew both par
lies, but suspected nothing wrong. |
They inquired for a train that went
20 Versailles and wentout on the east
bound passenger train, having bought
tickets for that point. Vince they
went is not known.

brother and injured husband came
down to Sedalia last night at 0 clock
on the freight from Hughesville, ac-
companied by his two little boys, who
were weeping and waiIing for their

Free School Books.

President Raub, of Delaware Col
i!ege, believes that textbooks should
be furnished free of charge to the chill
dren in our public schools, but does
not believe in compulsory education
for rural districts. The Grangers. on
the other hand, favor compulsory ed
ucation. 1t will be remembered that
DR.. Hargadine, of FELTON,, in a commu-
nlcation to this department of the Jour
nat, suggested free text books as a
remedy for the ills that the Grangers
would cure by the application of svs-
tenn of compulsory education. The
Milford Chronicle favors free text
books. In fact it seems to be the uni
versal opinion that text books should
be free, but it is not the universal opin.
Ion that we should have compulsory
education. Text books are already
free in Wilmington, and the time is
ripe for making them free in all parts
OF the State. Is the legislature ready .?

can turn through an arc of a circle and

The first cut made the drill is ad-

1t is then clamped to keep the cut from
closing, and the operation continued
until it would be unsafe to 60 on. The
