appearance and Of pleasant address, his
society was much sought by the sundry mar.
TIageable ladies of the village. Some time ago,
Mr.. Matson began to show decided prefer
ence for Mrs. Bussall. young and attractive
widow. The gosslps whispered that the
couple would soon be married, but the best
laid plans often fail to terminate as ex-
pected. All went we'll until Mrs Thompson,
another attractive widow, formerly Of Har-
risOn, Ohio, took up her residence in the
town. MatsOn was introduced to her, and
after that his attentions were equally shared
by the two fair widows. Friends watched
the little comedy, which day by day grew
more interesting as the gay Lothario's af-
fections continued evenly balanced between
the two. Recently, however, the gossips
began to whisper again, and this time they
said that Mrs Thompson had won the wild
over, and sure enough their whisperiDgs
seemed true. Tor in few days Mrs. Thomp-
son became the happy recipient of an en-
gagemeDt ring. Arrangements for the
wedding were hastily made, and the couple
intended going to Cincinnati on the

boarding the train Mrs. Bussall put in an

disappointed bride, stood on the platform
and looked after them in dumb amazement.
When the true state of affairs dawned upon
her mind she turned around and went TO
her home, announcing that she would be

and even now he Is compelled TO have it
dressed twice daily.
He says that the doctors tell him that it is
gradually sapping his vitality, but he thinks
that since it has not killed him in sixteen
years he will live out his natural term of
existence.
He says that the feeling when being
scalped is the Eost terrible form of torture
that he could think of.
When he was shot he was left lying by
his companions, who were compelled TO flee
for their lives.
The Indians came up. and one swung
himself down from his horse and, thinking
he was dead, took his scalH.
He ran his knife around the left side Of
his head in half circle. and then made a
straight cut across the top of the head.
The cutting gave little pain, but when
the Indian raised the edge Of the scalp and
then took the skin in his teeth and began
tearing it off of his head the pain was SO ex-
cruciating that he tainted.

in an unconscious condition, but when he
recovered he felt as IL his whole head was
on fire. For weeks atterward he could not
get out or bed. but was compelled to lie
very quiet.

the house. and fully year before he felt in
good health again.

LONDON, March PA dispatch from
st. Petersburg tells of a new industry
which is acquiring considerable develop
ment in Russia.
1t Is that of conversion.
1t appears that the Russian govern
ment, not being willing to trust only to
the theological arguments and penal
laws, offers reward to all Jews who be-
come Christians.
The consequence is that number of
Jews, deprived by the severe enforce
ment of the DEGREES against their race
OF an opportunity to make an honest
living, have entered upon the practice
OF being converted at regular intervals,
ana receiving each time the government
bounty of fifteen roubles.
One Hebrew named Schwartzkoph has
been at last detected after seven differ
ent conversions in as many different To-
calities.
1t happened that Russian priest to
whom he had made known his desire for
the seventh time for baptism, had been
recently transferred from Eiizabethgrad
where the convert had been baptised
and rewarded only about two months
before.

SlR.-I read with pleasure your
editorial in regard to Mr.. Mastin's
election as Mayor. 1t has frequent
ly been asked of me, why is it that
Mr.. Mastin has 50 many friends
among the colored people? My an
swer has been that during his six
years Of administration as Mayor,
he dealt justly with all. Ifany were
guilty Of violations Of the law he
fined them, if innocent he protected
them.
That was all we wanted He has
never pandered to prejudices, but
has openly expressed his opinion be-
fore white and black as to what he
thought was right and wrong. No
man in this city has ever doubted
Mr.. Mastin's political opinions. but
there is no political questions in.
volved in the Mayors race, and
should not be. Mr.. Mastin is a man
of small means but he has given
work to and aided more men white
and black than any man in this city.
He has always paid them for their
work, and when there was nothing to
do, and any appealed to him for aid
he never turned his back on them.
In other words he has heart filled
with kindness, and for that reason
we intend to support him.

An Intellectual Attempt to Break
Jail.

An attempt was made by several United
States prisoners, confined in cell in our
county Jail, Thursday night during the
rain storm, to liberate themselves, but
they failed, by large majority in their
purpose.
They, by some means, tore off the
Dashboard and wainscotting in their cell,
and had begun the very difficult task of
pecking through the thick stone wall,
which would have occupied considerable
time in penetrating the solidified thick
ness, they having nothing to perform this
slow work with but small steel saw
blade and poker.
Jailor Pentecost made the discovery
early yesterday morning of their inten-
ton and work, and he reported it to the
Sheriff, who Immediately repaired to the
scene and informed the inmates of the
cell in which the damage was done to the
room, that he would consign them to the
dreaded dungeon if they did not desist
from creating an expense to the county,
as she had to pay for the repairs of her
institution; and besides the attempts to
free themselves would all be futile, as it
was next to an impossibility to do so.
The little steel instrument and poker
were removed from the cell, and things
about the county bastile again assumed
an even tenor.

WAsHINGToN, March 21.-The presi
dent has appointed Ivory G. Kimball, o1
the District of Columbia, to be United
States judge of the police court of the
District of Columbia. to act until the
end of the next session of the United
States senate.
This appointment is made under the
provisions of the local police court act
approved March 3, 1891, and is signifi-
cant inasmuch as it indicates that the
president feels legally authorized to fill
a newly created presidential office dur
ing recess OF congress. While the adj
ditional circuit court judges come in
this category, it is not regarded as likely
that these appointments will be made
for several months yet.
