ANOTHER ROBBERY.

Some time last night burglars
effected an entrance into O. O. Tip
potts Tailor Shop, on Fifth Street,
by means of a window, and carried
away four suits, several vests,
and pairs of pants finished and
partly finished, and one or two
suits of clothes that had been left
at the shop for pressing and re-
pairs. 1t ought to be easy to run
down these robbers, as the goods
could be easily identified, no mat
ter in whose possession they might
be found.

CAUGHT.
One of the Robbers Run Down and
Captured This Morning

Our officers last night got onto
the trail of ono of the fellows who
committed the recent burgluries in
this place, mention of which was
made in the Register yesterday.
After running him all night,
they captured him this morning in
the upper part of the town.
He had evidently come back
from across the Ohio, to get the
goods he had hidden away, when
our officers got onto him, and sue
ceeded in capturing him.
There is no question of this rob-
Der being the right man, as they
found the knife in his possession
with which he had broken open the
Dash register at the Ohio River
Railroad Eating House, and which
he had broken, leaving the point
at the depot, which filed exactly
into his broken knife. There were
also other things to identify him
as one of the men.
The other thief was also in town
last night and has been chased as
far as SpilmNn, and officers 30 close
onto him, that he cannot escape,
and he will no doubt be brought
here some time today.
Some of the stolen goods have
been recovered, among them sew
eral coats and pants taken from y.
@. Tippett's Tailoring Establish
ment, and box of wine stolen
from the Ohio River Railroad
freight depot.

Farmer Bows.

There are people foolish enough
to laugh at the homely virtues of n
farm life. They are fortunately
few, and they are fortunately grow
ing fewer; but it is we'll sometimes
to look at tho list of great men who
came up from the farm-not all
of them, for that would fill a thous.
and volumes, but some of the no.
table ones that flash into ones
mind in moment.
Nearly three-fourths of the men
who have been chosen by the peo-
pie for the great Offices of the ma
tion are men who were early fa-
miliar with wooded hills and cult
waited fields. For example, Wash
ington, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield,
Hamlin, Greedy, Tilden, Hayes,
Blaine, Harrison and many others
almost equally conspicuous in cur
rent events of living memory.
Among journalists IHenry Water
son spent his early lie in rural
kentucky, and Murat Halestead
was born on farm in Ohio; w. III
Vanderbilt was born in small
New Jersey town, and early en-.
gagged in the business of ship
chandlery; Russell Sage was born
in New York village; Jay Gould
spent his early years on his fathers
farm in New York State; Whittier
and Howels spent their youth in
villages, the former dividing his
time between farm employment
and his studies. Follow the list
out for yourself, and see how long
it will become.-Kansas City

MILITARY DEpAItrUHI4.
No Summer IGncampment But IL
Long March Instead.

No Summer IGncampment But n
Long March Instead.
CHARLESTON, March 28.-At the
State Adjutant Generals Head
quarters plans are being made for
the annual summer outing of the
State Guard Instead of an en-
campment it is proposed to put the
soldiers on n march to let them get
tho knowledge and practice similar
to active campaigning. This will
be harder but more profitable to
the military service of the State
than allowing the troops to remain
idle in camp. Col. Simm's plan is
for the different companies of each
battalion to march to some central
point, to be selected by the battal-
ion9officer, dividing time equally
going and coming and while en-
camped. They are to be put
through drill practice while on the
march and through the maneuyers
of an army going into an invaded
country, This plan has the advan-
tage over the old encampment idea
of better discipling and hardening
the troops to service and will also
save the State the costly expense
of transportation by railroad.
