HAS THE B0Y-BEEN EATEN.
Fears That Panther Has DeyOured
a Georgia Boy.

| a. NNVA DVyS
A special to the Brunswick Time.
from Pearson, Ca, says; The
greatest CONSERVATION prevails il
the jackson settlement, about fif-
teen miles from here, near the AL
tamaha river, over the doings OF
some wild beast, supposed to be Q
panther. For some days past those
! who live in that neighhorhood have
awakened in the morning to find
numbers of their hogs sheep and
cattle lying dead in the road, their
throats cut as if by a knife and in
many instances large portions of
the flesh of the unfortunate ami.
mails eaten away. Around the
bodies of the dead animal could be
seen large tracks, resembling those
of a huge bear, only showing the
impression of claws much larger
and sharper than tbs poss . by
the bruin race. 1t is said that
more than a hundred head of hogs
and other stock ha ,e fallen VIC
tins to the warn. int, as the Wild
beast which is committing these
depredations is generally called.
Parties haqe organized and a hunt
has been made for the supposed
panther, but to no avail: 1t is an
easy matter to follow the tracks to
a swamp about a mile off, but there
the trail is lost in the growth OF
vines and swamp grass. MaLy
rumors are afoat about the dep
redator aud It is said that several
people have been killed by lis
sharp claws and probably sharper
teeth.
Cha. lie Edwards, a 9,ycar-clI
white boy. has been missing from
home since last week, and the be-
lief that the varmint has caused his
nntimely death is rapidly gaining
ground, for search after search has
been made tor the little fellow, but
they have all proven futile. lie is
nowhere to be te18l. This mogn>
ing . party of ev}r0i'rrs nund inc
hat which the lad had on vie he
left home, The kat was found just
inside the swawp, and the Al,
nouncement but served to add fresh
fuel to the fame OF excitement.
Farmers have dropped the ir
plowhandles, saw mill men have
left t!!.air mills. and raft hands
have deserted their work to join
in the search for the missing boy.
The woods and swamps will lit
orally be secured by the searching
parties, and every effort will be
made to find the boy.
The father of the lost boy has
about despaired of ever seeing him
again, while his wife, Charles
mother, is almost frantic with
grief, and it is feared that she will
go into hysterical commissions, from
which death will follow if the SOL
of her bosom is not restored to her.
A physician is attending her.
After having kissed his mother
and pratiling baby sister good,by,
Charlie Edwards started off tt
school, sas was his usual custom
He reached the school house, re
cited we'll his lessons, and in the
afternoon started on the return
home. He was accompanied abou
half mile of the distance to hi
fathers house by a number o
school mates, who left him at :
place where the road branched of
to go to their OVID homes.
These children were the las
persons that saw the lost boy, ant
their statements only make hi
whereabouts more mystery.
The search will be kept up unit
it is known whether TIE Led is deac
or alive.

Education in Alaska.

There is scarcely daily average at tendance of ten in school population of from one hundred and fifty to two hundred at each village in Alaska. Fifty thousand rubles are each year appropriated from the imperial treasury of St. Petersburg for aid to the church and the support If schools in Alaska. Part of the church revenue is derived from the sale of candles at funerals and marriages and from the rent of church property de- voted to secular purposes, which the Greco-Russian church, under the pro- visions of the treaty, was allowed to re- tain. This is not very valuable, how ever, as source of revenue. The Rus sian churches among the Aleuts of the seal islands of St. Paul and St. George, in Behring sea, are in great part sup ported from contributions of the indus trious wage-earning people of these islands.

AN oPPoRTUNITY.

 We sat at the club in the nre-Mght, Asit nickered and played on the wall, And we chatted of music and Egypt, Of the opera art and the ball. And talked half the night with the others, But my thoughts had flown far OCT the main And were dwelling in quiet scclusion In the halls of my castle-in Spain. In the castle builded so lofty,
 Which got @ hard knock yesterday, When they told me Tom Jones is to marry Nell Murray-sweet Nellie-tn May. Why, Nell Murray has dwelt in that castle Ever since it's been mine, and it's plain That without her light footsteps and laughter Twill stand silent ndlonely in Spainl She used to walk, too, with some children In the gardens so sunny and wide; But tonight they have all of them vanished, And it seems as though some one had died Well, Jones is good looking fellow; think, since my fancies are vain And he has run of with its mistress, I'll shut up my castle in Spain. And I'll hang out a neat advertisement, Which somewhat as follows shall read: "For sale or to rent, ready furnished To meet every possible need, mansion of fine, airy structure,
 With Q wide and extensive domain" And I'll sell to the first man who offers To purchase my castle in Spain.

in which there was tiny ring. put my finger through it and found that it raised q trap door. The rush of cold air that camc through the door as I opened it almost took my breath away. held my candle over the opening and saw that some three feet below the lad der was green and slimp, and that foot below that there was water. Was it wellP Suddenly there flashed through my mind Sarah's words in her delirium of the night before: 1.-The waters deep in the cellar" I looked aboutme for something to try the depth of the water with, for go down must. l found rod that looked like those used for the bottom of window-blinds, and cautiously, candle in hand, vent ured on the ladder. It was quite firm.
 As soon as I was on the bottom dry step the fourth from the top, saw that was in a large cellar, on ne side of which were empty wine-bins which looked rotten and green. Above the level of the water the walls were green too. There was tiny grating high up. from which down to the water there was long green streak, as if water continually ran down there. l heard the drip, drip at intervals while l stayed. The cellar ran to the left under Mrs. Rayners room, suddenly thought with horror. Did she know that she might be living over a wellp I tried the depth of the water; it was be- tween three and four feet. Then l looked through the rungs of the ladder was standing on, and thought that l saw something behind it. Putting out my rod, 1 felt something soft which shook at the touch. l peered round the ladder and saw, on a big deal table tho top of which had been raised about eight or ten inches above the water 8 level, the little brown portmantcau I had seen Tom Parkes carry across tho lawn, the same that I had afterw ard discovered inside the back-door. And I remembered now where I had seen it bcfore-s slowed away at tine bottom of a cupboard in the room I had occupied at Denham Court. I knew it by an old Italian luggage-label, "Torino," which l had noticed there. Ut was within arms reach through the r,lngs of the ladder. With trembling fingers I opened it-for it was not even fastencd-and, to my horror, drew out from 8 confusion of glittcring things with which it was half filled serpent bracelet had se.n Lady Mills wear. put it back, closed tho portmanteau, with difficulty, and clung to the ladder, overwhelmed by my discovery.
 Again my brain seemed to whirl round, as it had done on the previous night. when Sarah had been on the point Of revealing James Woodfall's other name. My candle slipped from my fingers, fell with a hiss and splash into the water below, and was in darkness.

There were seventy five voters in the
Republican primary last Saturday. and
seven was all they could rake up at the
Democratic blow out on Tuesday, yet
the Sparks talks about the lack Of Re
publican enthusiasm.
The Democratic primary last Tuesday
put up the following patriots to be- de-
feated by the Republican candidates for
precinct officers; For Justice of the
Peace G. w. Heaton; for Constable, l..
L, Maxwell; for Road Overseers, j. j.
Thoman and E. p Thurston.
Coroner A. Deeter held an inquest last
Saturday over the corpse OF the little
boy that was killed by an engine at Ora
NADIA last week. The verdict was crowded
out by our special Convention report. 1t
charges the railroad with running the
train at a rate that endangered the life
of persons having to cross the track.
The Universal Brotherhood of the Sons
of Rest and Poverty Society Consolidated
and Unlimited, held an informal con-
clave last Monday evening. Owing to
the lack of notice the attendance was
limited to few prominent members. A
magnificent banquet was spread for them
at the Commercial Hotel. After its dispo-
sition beneath the respective belts of the
participants, the festivities We're closed
by a fine display of fire works conducted
by Col. Billow.
High waters in the Arkansas river at
this point created quite an unusual stir
in town last Monday. Word was brought
in that the bridge north of town was in
danger. Everyone who could get away
went down to see the food. Commits
sioner ]. d, Martin, always awake to the
interest of the county, was on hand with
a number of our citizens keeping the
driftwood from accommodating at the
bridge. By working hard all day and
night the bridge was saved. On Tuesday
the river was again at its usual stage.
