Prairie Farmer that the trade in honey
now demands that it shall be stored in
one pound sections of the smoothest and
whitest wood and that the honeycomb
shall be of snowy whiteness and free
from any discolorations. In order to
preserve its pristine loveliness it should
be removed from the bees as soon as
sealed to keep it from being travel
stained, as they frequent muddy pools
and are not always careful to wipe their
feet Bee culture for several seasons has
been under cloud, owing to low prices
for the product and poor seasons, and
beekeepers have sought out many inven-
tons to cheaper its production and have
given to us the bee escape.

Under this act there was nothing
to do last evening but to adjourn 20 a

motion was fixed nj Saturday even
ing, the clerk being instructed to no
tify all aldermen to be present. BY
the same act under which the pro

blocked, the mayor undoubtedly has
certain discretionary authority in
bringing bclligercnt aldermen to
time. and under such circum-
stances he would be warranted in eN-
crcising any prerogative that he
might consider vested in him. At all
events the ARGUS hopes and fully be
lieves that Mayor Medill Will hold his
position and yield in no respect to the
aldermen who are thus seeking to
mbarrass him in the discharge OF
his duties. Mr.. Medill should teach
these would be obstructionists that

WHERE Is HE NOW?
Two Weeks Ago George Pickett Was
at Chattanooga, Tenn.

Ever since George w. Pickett, the
forger, made his escape from the George.
town Jail, it has been the general suppo-
sition that he was somewhere in the
vicinity Of Hillsboro or at least was in
Highland county. A day or two after
his escape it was reported that he had
been seen here but no substantial
foundation for the story could be dis
covered.
1t now turns out that he was here in
Hillsboro for several days and that had
any effort been made there would have
been no trouble in capturing him, but
he is now out of reach and compare
lively safe unless he chooses to return
and give himself up.
Two weeks ago a letter was received
from him at Chattanooga, Tenn, by a
friend of bis here. He had been there
several days but had found nothing to
do and was hard up and wanted money.
Nothing has been since heard from him,
but it is supposed that he is still at
Chattanooga.
We have it directly from young man
who saw him and talked with him that
Puckett came straight to Hillsboro after
his escape, Tuesday night, and that he
remained here with friends and relatives
until the following Saturday night. That
night he was driven to some point in
Pike county, where he boarded a train
and got to Portsmouth, taking the @. and
o and going to some place in West Vir.
ginia. He was afterwards heard from at
different places in West Virginia and
Virginia, and finally at Chattanooga.
where he is now thought to be.
