Fez1ow Citizens of the First Word
Walking through our beautiful park
this morning my thoughts ram thusly
What 6ne thing it would be, to see
this park unfold itself into here~and
there a flower bed; here verbena,
there pansy, then tube-rose, and so
on. A foliage bed in the centre with
some tall ornamental plant in the midst
of it, aad SO sloping down to the edge
would be exceedingly becoming. And
then the thought, let's do it. It is just
the proper thing to do. So then I call
on all who are like-minGed to come to-
gether in the park Saturday, May 24th,
9 O'Clock A. NJ, and bring with you a
growing plant of the poisoning kind,
and before noon we Will have the park
all glorifed and beautiful to- behold.
Bring along your picnic basket and
invite your husband and sons to dinner.
We will serve them promptly at II NJ.
and dismiss them in time for circus

come. A FIRST WARDER.

An important Capture,

In our last issue we recorded the cap
ture here of one /. w. Berry, supposed
to be connected with two notorious
characters in southern Missouri, named
j. NJ. Officer and Geo. Scott, all three
having escaped from the hands of
Joseph M. Lyon, sheriff of Douglas
county, Missouri, while in his custody
to answer to the charge of the robbery
of Samuel Turner's store, at Arno, Mis-
souri,. Deputies Graewe and Arndt re-
turning from Jefferson Wednesday af-
ternoon, after leaving Berry in jail,
spotted Officer and Scott, who had got
on board at Evansville. The pair left
the train here and started up town, fol-
lowed by our officers and Sheriff Hib-
bard. Officer and Scott went into the
postoffice and enquiring for the same
mail that Berry had gave assurance to
the officers that they were on the right
track. One was arrested in front of
Stallmann's and the other at the corner
of Second street The prisoners at
tempted to draw revolvers, both being
well armed, but Deputy Graewe and
his assistants were too juick for the fell
lows. The Missourians were taken
down to Jefferson by the 4 o'clock
freight and lodged in jail Monday
Sheriff Lyon, accompanied by Mr..
Turner identified the prisoners and a
requisition having been obtained from
Gov. Hoard, they started back with
their prisoners yesterday morning.
A reward of $75 was offered for the
arrest of these men by Sheriff Lyon
and Deputy Sheriff Graewe has
received his money. About 5000 was
stolen from Turner's store, but
the prisoners are also wanted by
the sheriff Of Wright county, Mis-
souri,, for breaking into the county
treasurer's Office and taking $1,000
They are hard and desperate gang
and there is no doubt they belonged to
the Jesse James desperadoes. After
committing the burglary at Arno the
fellows were tracked to Memphis, Tenn.
about March 81; from there Sheriff
Lyon dispatched to Deputy Graewe,
that these men would be in WATERFOWL
about certain time, which happened
to correspond to very nearly the exact
day when they did put in their appear
ance here Many are asking them
selves why it happens that WATERFOWL
was chosen as their protective point,
and what was their inducements for com
ing here. There is no doubt that the
prompt arrest of these desperate char
acters saved us from some fine work
that most likely would have taken place
on the night Of the day the capture was
made
