Robert McField, negro who con-
cealed himself on board the trading
schooner Olympia, off the coast of
Honduras, murdered eleven persons,
one after the other, constituting the
crew and passengers. Miss Elsie
Morgan alone was spared and after
taking her in a small boat. with the
ships treasure of $1,000, the negro
scuttled the ship and pnshed off.
When in sight of land, Miss Morgan
jumped into the sea, and while
swimming away in the water the
negro shot at her twice with rifle,
one shot breaking her arm. She
reached the shore and after six days
of wandering in swamp was res
cued. Natives who heard her story
went in search of the negro and find
ing him promptly lynched him.
Miss Morgan was brought to New
Orleans, where she is recovering
from her horrible experience. The
FIVE sailors and five passen-
gers were murdered, including Miss
Morgan sister, Mrs. Rose, with her
and baby and her friend
Miss Corners.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days,
when, as somebody has said, men
drop by the sunstroke as if the Day
of Fire had dawned. They are
fraught with danger to people whose
systems are poorly sustained; and
this leads us to say, in the interest
of the less robust Of our readers,
that the full effect of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is such as to suggest the pro-
priety of calling this medicine some
thing besides a blood purifier and
tonic, say, a sustaining diet. 1t
makes it much easier to bear the
heat, assures refreshing sleep, and
will without any doubt avert much
sickness at this time of year.

There is more catarrh in this sec
zion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many wears
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure

Iron BRIDGES"

The manner in which the Iron
Bridges" have been built at various
points in the county during the past
four or five years is becoming a sub
ject of considerable interest. Inquir-
les, as to the manner of letting the
contracts for the construction of these
bridges, reach us every week. But
the court records which it seems
should show everything concerning
the public business, thus for searched
by us, have not contained any answer
to these inquiries. So we decided to
try the "open field" and began to in
quire of those, whom we thought most
likely to know about the building
of the Iron Bridges" Most of them
say they have not the remotest idea,
while there are few who say they
know; but on investigation we learn
that they have only a faint idea and
are unable to give anything definite.
1--WE, however Struck" one fellow,
who has been, and is now, in a position
to know how the Iron Bridges"
have been built, and he says that one
among the first ones built. was the
most expensive one. He says that
the committee on construction, after
the Champion Bridge Company had
notified and had agreed to build been
it for $3.50, acted very indiscreet-
ly and notified half dozen or more
other bridge companies that they
were going to construct an Iron
Bridge" in Ohio county at given
place.
He further says that in due time
the Champion Bridge Company was
awarded the job and began the con-
struction of the bridge at stipulat-
ed price of $500. He explained
that the $3.50 extra charges were add
ed as a sort of punishment of the COM
mittee for their indiscretion in mott
flying the other people. He said that
since that sad experience none except
the Champion Bridge Company have
been notified when an Iron Bridge"
was to. be built. Any other infor-
nation that we may procure will be
reported promptly.

KILLED BY A TRAIN
Was Bernie Johnson.While Walk
ing Down Track Near McHenry
Wednesday Afternoon.

Bernie Johnson was run down and
killed by an |. c. freight train a
short distance below McHenry We'd
nesday afternoon about 3 o'clock.
He was walking on the track going
South and the train. fast freight,
was coming North meeting him. The
trainmen saw him and whistled for
him to get off the track but he paid
no attention to the alarm but walk
ed steadily on toward the shrieking
locomotive and train of cars which
proved to be an engine of death.
When johnson failed to leave the
track at the signal of warning an at
tempt was made to stop the train
and it was considerably slowed down
but not enough to prevent its strik-
ing him. He was knocked several
feet. and never knew what struck
him as death came in few minutes.
1t is reported that johnson was
drinking. This may be true or it
may not be true, but his refusal to
leave the track after being warned
of the approaching train, indicates
that there was something seriously
wrong with him.

SCHLITzBAUM AT ITAGAIN
Man Who Got MIXED Up" al
FordSville Works"
Penitentiary.

According to the statements of
Route Agent Abbott, of the Amer
lean Express company, A. B. Schlitz-
baum is at it again. Penitentiary
walls have not been effective in stop
ping the work of this genius, and
Mr.. Abbott says that he has been
piling up the dough" against the
day when he expected to be a free
man again. Schlitzbaum, who was
agent for the American Express
company at Fordsville. got mixed up
with Boatner's scheme and was sent
to the Penitentiary for term of a
year for embezzlement.
Schlitzbaum's ability was recog-
nized and he was made shipping
clerk in the shoe factory of the pen
itentiary. Mr.. Abbott says that
there are several charges against
him of having shipped out shoes to
parties who did not order them.
1t is thought that these shipments
have been received and disposed of
by a cofederate of Schlitzbaum and
Mr.. Abbott is convinced that the
confederate is well known by reputa-
ton in this section. 1t is said that
several hundred dollars worth of
shoes have been disposed of in this
way. Warrants have been issued,
it is said, covering the separate of
fenses.

The Hartford Herald has told the
same old story in the same old way
about Ohio county being in debt
$35, 900 on the first of January, 1898,
as the result of Republican manage
ment of public affairs, so often that
it doubtless has by this time
grown to believe the statement
is true. Suggest if you will,
any partisan or other misman-
agement of the county's affairs that
has occurred since then and that
great Organ" exclaims S35, 900!
$35, 900! $35, 900! 1t reminds us of
an obstinate old woman who on a
certain occasion began, without any
reason whatever, saying Scissors"
She repeated scissors" scissor"
at every breath until it became
wearisome to other members of the
family. Her husband undertook to
silence her, but she obstinately re-
fused. All persuasion proved of no
avail. He finally resorted to more
strenuous methods. He beat her al
most into insensibility; yet she said
scissors" scissors" He then
drew her tongue out and fastened a
split stick to it, which effectively
prevented her from saying scissors,
but she at once began working her
fingers to initiate pair of scissors.
Of course the woman's conduct was
the height of Stiffness. Yet the Her.
AIDS "flubdubbery" about the $685.
900 debt and its payment bears a
striking resemblance to it.
