j. H. Shoemaker has just returned
from 9 three weeks visit in the East.
He says that although he had g double
iointed. self-acting Y ray with him. he
utterly failed to discover any signs Of
the "wavs Of prosperity" Everywhere
he went, and particularly through Hi.
nois and Nebraska. he found thousands
of idle men and tenantless houses and
buildings. The whole Eastern country

lawless set of men. The record of the
days doings is briefly as follows: Tom

an indemnity of several thousand dollars to
the families of the dead Italians. The three
Italians were swung up to trees near the
Hahnvine Jail, from which they were taken
by a mob The cor fesson which exculpates
the dead Italians was made by a negro
named Alex. Richards. alias Creole. who
had been arrested and practically convicted
