Blood Hounds.

The Elizabethto wn News last week
published likeness of Marshal
Neighbors' two blood hounds, Drum
aud Little Dick, that have recently be-
come famous throughout the State
from their excellent work in hunting
criminals, The smallerst of the two,
says the News, is Drum, the old dog.
He is pure bre d and one of the best
of his stock in the United States. 1t
was by The unerring instinct of this
animal for the human scent that j.
Commodore Miller, the negro that
outraged and then murdered the Ray
sisters, near Bardwell, KY, was trail
ed into Illinois and captured. Little
Dick, the Younger dog, ia said by
Marshal Neighbors to be the best dog
OF the two anu a son of Drum. The
dogs were purchased about year ago
at the Eddyviie penitentiary and
since that time they have done a great
deal of good work. In two-thirls of
the cases where they have been put
upon the track of criminals they have
either run them down or have trailed
sufficiently to identify or lead to the
arrest of The guilty parties. These
dogs are of Siberian breed
of blood hounds. They.are not much
larger than tho beadle hound and are
fully as harmless They will not at
tack man but when they come up to
their prey bark necessarily like an or
binary hound after he has run his
game in hole.

Soaked Grain.

Mr.. w. p. Prewitt says, in the
Richmond Register, that three bushels
of soaked corn are worth four of dry
corn for for feeding mich cows. He
has tried il. Last summeI he paid go
cents for corn and 40 cents for wheat
He bought 40 bushels of wheat, soak
ed il, fed it to his cows and horses, and
it fed equally as far as the same guam
tity of corn would go, and the stock
did better. Forty bushels of corn
would have cost $24 the same amount
of wheat cost $l8, which nets a saw
ing of $6 and better result to the
stock. Mr.. Prewitt advises the
farmers to feed their wheat and sell
their corn while the prices are on the

~ On last Sunday morning Mrs, Mar
gauret, wife of william G Helwig
died from the effects of pneumonia,
aged % years. She was member of
the Antioch Christian church and was
married four years ago. She leaves a
husband and two children. Johnnie
aged two years and Pauline five
months. She WAS taken violently i'll on
the third dav of this month with pneu-
mOnia which so reduced her strength
that she could not stand other compli-
cations that set up. Her funeral was
preached at the residence Monday
afternoon by Elder B. w. Trimble
assisted by Rev. Cleon Keyes
after which she was buried in
Machpelah Cemetery. This is a sad
death, a mother in young womanhood
to be stricken down leaving little
ones to be brought up The ways of
God are past finding out, but they are
wise and we should meekly Tow to his
dispensation.
The husband must realize that she
has gone before aud the same road he
must pass. His duty here is to 70 low
the directions of the master working
for God and bringing mp the little
ones left to his charge so that they
NAV become valuable acquisitions.
Mrs. Helwig was an excellent
woman, christian, and when the
minister talked to her concerning her
dissolution she said she would delight
to assist in the rearing of her children
but that God would do what was
right. An excellent spirit submus ,ive
to the will of God. She was the
daughter of Sanford Powers aud was
raised in this county. All Christian
people tender their sympathy to the
bereaved husband, little ones and
other relatives.

GOV. BROWNS BLAST.
He Scores the Ohio Judge Buck
walter.

Gov. John Young Brown roasts
the Ohio Judge Buckwalter, who re-
fused to surrender the negro murder
err, Hamptomon requisition issued
by Governor Brown on Gov. McKin-
ley. Gov. Brown says of Buckwalter:
"He should have seen ii executed
and the statements of the Judge are
grossly inadequate and his arguments
mere subterfnge and bubble.
"He has usurped the prerogatives
of the Governor Of his own State, and
deliberately refused to execute the
plain command of the law of the
United States, and has subordinated
it to his own caprice.
ole has approached Kentucky for
crime, from which his own great
State is NOT quietest. He &C 'epied The
statements Ola fugitive rom justice,
that he feared unlawful violence fire
manded to Kentucky as sufficient rea-
son for his discharge.
THE Statutes OF Ohio, in SO far as
they prescribe methods and condi-
tons supplementary to and inconsist-
ant with the United States law of ex-
tradition must be admitted to be void.
This proposition no one disputes.
"No lawyer claims that Judge Buck
walters decision is sustained by any
precedent IN the csuntry, and it toll
lowed blythe judiciary OF Ohio, it
will make that State refuge and a
paradise for all the murderers
thieves and rapists of the South, and
is an invitation and assurance of well
come and protection given by the
proclamation of Buckwslter."
