Russell, the school superintendent, had
fled, Sheriff Jackson began working ur
the case and since then has expended
over $40 in telegraphing to eastern
poirts, among which was Bushnell,

awhile. Thursday night, abont 10
O'Clock, the Sheriff received the follow.
ing dispatch: 81 have your man in
charge. What shall | do with him.
Answer quick" Signed by ]. II.
Weaver, City Marshall.
Sheriff jackson went at once to Sa.
lem, got requisition papers, and left
for Illinois. He was expected to arrive
at Bushnell yesterday.
Russell employed an attorney at
Bushnell, who attempted TO get him
out Of Jail on a writ of habeas corpus,
but failed.
Every one here will be glad to know
Of the arrest Of Russell, and If he il
guilty as charged, hope to see him get
his just punishment.
Sheriff jackson certainly deserves
much credit for his promptness in Sc
curing Russell.

City. An examination showed il to I've
a perfect human eye, apd that it had
heen lost by its owner hut a short time
before, but there was nothing to shcw
how 1t was lost nor who was its owner
The brakeman notified the conductor

that of a human being, and at the L.

her of passengers from the train in
spected it.
Noone could furnish any explanation

was suggested that the engine might
have struck some person, crushing his
head, forcing the eye from its socket.
and throwing il onto the platform. The
mail ear was one ear removed from the
engine, fruit car being between 1t and

Mr. F. G. Stanard writing to the
Brownsville Times in a manly letter,
tells Of the immoral condition of soci-
ETY. in that city. He says, among
,ther things: "We heard it said, not
long since, by man who had lived in
sixteen different towns, that the moral
standard of the young people OF
Brownsville was at lower ebb than
in any other town in which he had
lived. But, in my opinion, the young
people are not to blame, for when the
minds of their fathers and grandfathers
Those to whom they look for exam
ple--run in channels of immortality,
we can't expect anything better from
the boys" The correspondent then
refers to the "Oriental degree of hui
mility," which he took, believing il
to be all right, but found, though
prominent men of the town had taken
the degree, that there was not the least
principle of virtue Or morality in their
ceremonies, but which are mingled
throughout with vulgar and indecent
acts. Mr.. Stanard pleads for purity Of
thought, word and deed. flood for
Mr.. Stanaid, The above mentioned
degree was introduced in society In
this town, some time since, but the
members Of the society considered such
u degree altogether too degrading fol
them to have anything 10 do with.
