Where Is M'Curdy?

OTTUMwA, To-, Jan. 20.-J. E. Nc
Curdy, wealthy resident of Rose Hill,
a village in Mahaska county, is missing.
McCurdy left home Oct. with couple
of Illinois friends ON a hunting expedi-
ton down the Mississippi river They
met at Burlington and hired man of
the name of Fry to row them leisurely
down the river in skiff and care for the
camp equipage. AT Memphis McCurdy
wrote home that he had reached his des-
tination safely and would return about
the list of December. His frienus
thought nothing of his prolonged absence
till last week, when letter addressed to
the missing man came to Rose Hill. In
the envelope was large check on
Frankel 81 Co. s bank at Oskaloosa pay
able to his order and letter from one of
the hunting party showing that he sup
posed McCurdy was at home. This
alarmed his friends, who have been tele-
graphing for some trace of him without
success, and brother has gone to
Memphis in hopes of getting some clew
to his whereabouts. McCurdy had with
him a large sum of money, and hic
friends fear he has met with foul play.

The ferocious wild beast which has
been roaming at large in the forests
of the Bosque, frightening children
to death and making the hair of hum
tiers stand on end with its ear piercing
screams, was shot last light about 10
o'clock by Ike Manor, a likely darkey
of twenty-five. A little after ten Ike
ran excitedly to the cabin of old man
Scroggin's, dragging the wild beast
after him by the tail and calling ex
citedly to the inmates and exhibiting
the body of the beast which has
spread such terror through the coun-
try. The gun with which the beast
was shot was an old fashioned Har
per's Ferry musket of 1872, changed
to percussion lock in 1860. The leg
of the ferocious animal was broken at
the shot when he instantly charged on
the hunter who dubbed his musket
and after protracted struggle the
beast, emitting ear piercing yells at
every blow the brave darkey gave him,
the coup de etst with stroke that
broke the stock of the musket to
pieces. The cut is fearful picture
of the blood-curdling animal taken by
a News artist. Ike and the Scroggin
boys are expected in to get the reward
for the capture of the beast and get
the broken musket blacksmithed up
again. Country people will now get
some sleep and Waco dogs get much
needed rest. The next time the Zero
cious monster is killed THE News
will give another high tone picture o.
the beast.

Preston Arrested.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 20-H L. Preston,
editor of a publication known as the
Sunday Sun, has been indicted by the
grand jury now sitting, and was arrested
by County Marshal Stewart at o'clock
in the afternoon at his Office on Broad
way, near Sixth street, on capias
issued by Judge White. He was taken
before the latter official and secured
temporary freedom on bond signed by
John O'Grady, his attorney, and A. P.
Galloway as sureties.
Preston manifested considerable sur
prise when Marshal Stewart served the
capias on him. He remarked. however,
that he knew the grand jury had been
after him for a long time, and he pre-
sumed he was sin for it now" This is
the first time Preston has been arrested
under the authority of jackson county
Indictment, although his disreputable
sheet has been in existence more than a
year.
The statute under which the indict-
ment was obtained is known as the
McLinn law and was passed at the last
session of the legislature to fit publica-
tions of the character of the Sunday Sun.
1t makes the publication of a paper
mainly devoted to the chronicling OF
lewd acts and scandal a felony, and the
punishment of the editors and publishers
is term in the penitentiary of not less
than two years or more than five years
1t also makes newsdealers and newsboys
who sell the sheet amenable, and pro
vides for them the same punishment al
for the editors and publishers-two tx
| five years in prison.

THE FREE SILVER PHOGRAmME

THE FIRE SILVER PhOGR M VI T. &.
If all the Democrats at Washington
were as earnest in support of their con-
victions as Mr.. Bland of Missouri, there
would in little while no Democratic
party at all. Our Washington special
of yesterday afternoon reported an in
teresting scene in the House, in which
Mr.. Bland and Parson Mckinney. a
Democratic Congressman for New
Hampshire, we're the chief actors.
Mr.. Bland was loudly proclaiming that
he going to bring in free-coinage bill
and force every Democrat to vote upon
it. you will lose every New England
State as we'll as New York and New
Jersey; there won't be single Demo-
crat from New England in this House
two years hence" demonstrated the
dominic, who loves Congress better than
the pulpit, and had begun to feel alarm
for his own seat. Mckinney also tried
to terrorize the MisSOurian with threats
of a Republican Presinent and Congress
and ''force" but, he made no impress
stun upon the great silverite. Mr.. Bland
declared his belief that the bill would
pass, and gave the New England gentle
man to understand that he was not sent
there to legislate for the Democratic
party but fol his district. He was willing
that the party should go to blazes rather
than yield.
Mr.. Bland is the sort of Democrat that
the Republicans like to see hear
from in Congress. The honor of having
his rame linked with the "Bland dollar
has given him the big head.-Troy
Times.
