HE KNEW OLD ABE.
Senator Sherman's Enlogy of Lincoln Dur.

Senator Sherman's Eulogy of Lincoln Dur
ing His Campaign For Reelection.
Senator Sherman Of Ohio in a speech
at %Sandusky, during the campaign for
Lincoln S reelection, in the fall of 1864,
drew this rough but accurate outline of
the lamented presidents character:
II know Old Abe, and l tell you
there is not, at this hour, a more patri-
otto or a truer man living than that
man, Abraham Lincoln. Some say he is
an imbecile, but he not only held his
own in his debates with Douglas, whose
power is admitted, and whom I consid-
or tho ablest intellect in tho United
States senate. but got a little the better
Of him. He has been deliberate and
slow, but when he puts his foot down
1t 10 with the determination and Ger
tainty with which our generals take
their steps; and, like them, when he
takes = city he eve gives up This
firm old man Is noble and kind hearted.
He is . child Of the people. Go to him
with q story Of woe, and he will weep
like a child This man, so condemned,
works more hours than any other presi-
dent that ever occupied the chair. His
solicitude for the public welfare is new
or ceasing. I differed from him at first
myself, but at last felt and believed
that he was right, and shall vote for
this brave, true, patriotic, kind hearted
man. All his faults and mistakes you
have seen. All his virtues you can new
Ell know. His patience in labor is Won
derful. He works far harder than any
man in Erie county. At the head of this
great nation-look at it! He has all the
bills to sign passed by congress. No II
car be appointed to any Office without
his approval. No one can be punished
without the judgment receives his sig
nature, and nc II pardoned without
his hand. This man-always right, al
ways just-we propose to re-elect now
to the presidency. "-Louisville Courier
Journal.
Poor Man Standing Up For His Rights.
OF course there was a time-and not
S % very long ago-when men were ty-
rants and kept women under. Nova
days the only thing denied them i'll
polite circles is to whisk around by
themselves after dark, and plenty Of
them do that. The law is giving them,
with both hands, almost everything
they ask for nearly as rapidly as exist
ing inequalities are pointed out, and
the right of suffrage is withheld from
them only because the majority of
women are still averse to exercising it.
Man, the tyrant and highwayman,
has thrown up his arms and is allowing
woman to pick his pockets. He is not
willing to have her bore a hole in his
upper lip and drag him behind her
with q rope, but he is disposed to O II
sent to any reasonable Legislative
changes which she desires to have made,
short of those which would involve mas
outline Disagreement or depreciation. -

Indiana OUTLAWS escape
The Kidnapers of Ray Thornton Elude
Their PursuerS.
RUNNING FIGHT in A THICKET
The Bandits Arc Discovered Two Miles
North of Their Rendezvous but Flee
Before the POssc-Stolen Goods
Arc Recovered.
BY the United Press.


Lebanon, Ind, Jan. S.-The excite
ment occasioned by the kidnapping of
the 6-year-old son of Charles G. Wick
ham, of Thorntown, and his rescue
from his captors who turned out to be
an organized gang of bandits, eight in
number, who have been a terror to this
community for many months, Is Still
intense. About 3 O'Clock Monday even
ing the posse of officers who were in
pursuit of the fleeing outlaws came
upon them in a dense thicket two miles
north of their rendezvous. The bandits
at once took to their heels and run
ming fight ensued, during which num-
Der of shots were exchanged, and
though the officers are certain all of
them could not have escaped unscathed
no one was killed and the villains were
soon lost in the brush. All night long
the officers, who had been reinforced
by at least fifty men and boys from this
city, kept up their search, but the vii
lains were evidently more familiar with
the ground than their pursuers and es-
capped. Yesterday morning the chase
was resumed with renewed vigor, but in
vain, for no trace of the fugitives could
be found 1t is supposed they made
their way out of the country during
the night, and when daylight dawned
We're many miles away from the scene
Of their fight of last night
Hundreds of excited people visited
the cave on Sugar Creek, which has
sheltered the gang for the past few
months A large amount of stolen prop
erty was found, as well as evidence of
graver crimes. About three weeks ago
Jackson Bales, a wealthy farmer, living
two miles east of here, came to Leba-
non and sold some hogs, receiving
about 5000 in cash. He left for home
at dark, and has never been seen or
heard from since, and it was generally
supposed he had left with a we'll
known woman of this place with whom
he was suspected of being intimate,
and who had disappeared a few days
previous. 1t Is almost certain now that
the unfortunate farmer was murdered
for his money, as the hat he Wore
when last seen was found in the woods
near the cave this afternoon. If ar
rested, the outlaws will receive little
mercy, and it is quite possible they will
be tried before Judge Lynch, as the
people are worked up to state of ex-
citement little short of frenzy.

CLAY TO EDUCATE HIS WIFE.
The Aged Kentuckian Hires Goycrncss
for His Bride.
BY the limited Press

Louisville, Jan. S.-Genera1 Cassius
Marcellus Clay, the "old lion of White
Hail." Is carrying out his plan of edu-
eating his young wife to fit her for her
new station in life. A few days ago
he engaged governess, Miss Josie
Martin, of Munfordsvlle, who has gone
to White Hall to give Mrs. Clay lessons
in department, music and the ordinary
branches of learning. Mrs Clay is
only Is years old and has little more
than the rudiments of an education.
She has absolutely no advantages of
society, and is as ignorant of the graces
of dress and department as of mathe-
matics or sciences. Miss Martin is ex-
pected to make a finished lady of her
and is to be paid a liberal salary. She
Is quite young woman, but has a
fine education and some experience in
teaching. Her father, II. C. Martin, is
well known lawyer, who was a war
comrade of General Clay.
The Clays live an utterly retired life
at White Hall. Mrs. Clay has been
visited by none of her neighbors, and
neither she nor her aged husband quits
their massive country house. They
have very few servants and the young
woman has been attending to the cook
Ing Just as she did before her strange
marriage. Now that she is to be made
q lady she will hire servants and study
housekeeping. General Clay is as de.
voted to the girl as ever, and has lost
nothing of his former eccentricity. His
children have had nothing to do with
him with thp pyceptiOn of hiS illepiti.
mate son, Lonnie Clay, who was born
during his fathers sojourn in st
Petersburg as minister to Russia.
