in the drawer. between eigh. aud ten
dollars, and some sleeve buttons that were
also in the drawer. Nothing else was taken
from the place, as far as has yet been dis
covered. Two young fellows were in the
store the afternoon before, and Mr. Bur
CESS thinks they are the guilty parties.
He did not know them, however, and had

it is thought the burgls was committed
not far from that time.

LINCoLN,s MELANCHOLY.
His Sympathetic Nature and His Early
Misfortuues.

His Sympathetic Nature and His Early
Misfortunes.
Those who saw much of Abraham Lincoln
during the later years of his life, were
greatly impressed with the expression of
profound melancholy his face always wore
in repose.
Mr.. Lincoln was of a peculiarly sympa-
thetic and kindly nature. These strong
characteristics influenced, very happily, as
it proved, his entire political career. They
would not seem, at first glance, to be efficient
aids to political success; but in the peculiar
emergency which Lincoln, in the providence
of God, was called to meet, no vessel OF
common clay could possibly have become
the "chosen of the Lord
Those acquainted with him from boyhood
knew that early griefs tinged his whole life
with sadness. His partner in the grocery
business at Salem was "Uncle" Billy
Green, of Tallula, ILL.,, who used at night,
when the customers were few, to hold the
grammar while Lincoln recited his lessons.
1t was to his sympathetic ear Lincoln told
the story of his love for sweet Ann Rut7f
lidge; and he, in return, offered what COM
fort he could when poor Ann died, and Lin
coins great heart nearly broke.
"After Ann died" says "Uncle" Billy,
son stormy nights, when the wind blew the
rain against the rool, ABE WOulu SCI bnal III
the grocery, his elbows on his knees, his
face in his hands, and the tears runnin'
through his fingers. I hated to see him feel
bad, an I'd say, Abe, don't cry;' an he'd
look up an say Il can't help it, Bill, the
rains a fallin' on her.
There are many who can sympatize with
this overpoweripg. grief, as they think of a
lost loved one, when "the rains fallln' on
her." What adds poignancy to the grief
sometimes is the thought that the lost one
might have been saved.
Fortunate indeed, is William johnson, of
Corona, L. l., builder, who writes June
2s $780,: Last February, on returning
from church one night, my daughter COM
planned OF having a pain in her ankle. The
pain gradually extended until her entire
limb was swollen and veryBpainful to the
touch. We called physician, who after
careful examination, pronounced it disease
of the kidneys of long standing. All we
could do, did not seem to benefit her until
we tried Warmers Safe Cure; from the first
she commenced to improve. When she COM

The Failure of n Proposed Internationa
Eucampmeut Causes Trouble.

The Failure of n Proposed International
Eucampmept Causes Trouble.
CHICAGO, October 6.-There will prob
ably be fun in Juds- Anthony's court to-
morrow when decidedly novel testimony in
the suit Of Robert F. Jenkins, as receiver OF
the International Military Encampment
Company, against Landlord Bemis, OF the
Richelieu House, will be heard. At the
time the encampment was projected it was
confidently asserted that 100000 troops
representing all civilized countries would
be present.
Among the local business men who sub
scribed literally on such expectations was
Mr.. Bemis, who put his name down for
$1,000. The encampment was a grand
fzzle. only about $50 soldiers rom foreign
parts and half regiment of United States
regulars being in attendance. To-day Gen
eral A. L. Chetlain, who was sent to secure
foreign troops, told on the stand OF the fail
ure of his efforts, and General Bentley re-
cited in outline the woeful tale of an en-
campment without spectators. Tomorrow
the sport will begin in earnest as it is pro-
posed to introduce as a witness for defense
the men who bought the lunch counter
privileges paving $1,000 therefor. His
entire sales amounted to 35 cents.

BUTLER-It is a cold day when Butler county
can't raise a big oil excitement and to-day the
banner county again comes to the front with a
Cusher, doing lbs barrels an hour or at a rate
OF 5000 barrels day. At o'clock this after
noon the jefferson Oil Company brought in
their well on the kornrupp farm, adjoining the
Birely on the south, and the result as above
stated, was one of the greatest surprises in
the history OF the oil business in Butler county,
The well is located three-quarters of a mile
northeast from the old Jefferson Center pool
and on direct line between the old Murphy &
Campbell gusher and the Hartman well, on the
Birely farm. The owner, not anticipating a
well of this caliber had only one 250-barrel
tank up. which was filled in two hours
when the production was then lost. AS soon as
the news reached Butler hundreds of people
visited the well and the most intense excite
ment prevailed. This has unQuestionably
opened up another Jefferson Center pool. 1t
has simulated a large amount of new work
and in few days city of derricks will spring
forth. This afternoon HAIRY & Co. located
three wells on the BIrely farm. 500 feet from
the gusher and by tomorrow night the der
