A Shocking Tree.

There is a peculiar tree in the for
ests Of central India which has most
curious characteristics. The leaves Of
the tree are Of highly sensitive ma
ture and so full Of electricity that
whoever touches one Of them receives
an electric shock. 1t has a very singu-
lar effect upon a magnetic needle and
win influence 1t at distance Of even
seventy feet. The electrical strength
Of the trees varies according to the
time Of day. 1t being strongest at mid
day and weakest at midnight In wet
weather its powers disappear alto
gether. Birds never approach the
tree. nor have insects ever been seen
upon It.

Constable Waugaman and P.
B. Love Effect His
Capture.

Frank Lowers, of Prescottville, who
was one Of trio who robbed peddler
near Rathmel Junction one afternoon
/. about two years ago and served term
Ain the penitentiary for the bold high
Tay crime, being released from the
H'pen" the latter part Of last December,
Is now in the county jail as guarantee
that he will be present at the next
term Of court to answer to the charge
OF larceny. 1t is claimed that Lowers
has been very actively engaged in the
cattle business the past four or five
weeks, getting his cattle at night when
the owner was asleep and selling to
some butcher the next day. Most OF
the cattle stealing was done In Hender-
son township and near Big Run.
From the description Of the man who
had been stealing and selling the cattle,
Constable Waugerman, Of Sykesville,
concluded that Frank Lowers was the
guilty man and that he would arrest
Lowers on suspicion at least. Wednes-
day afternoon Constable Waugerman
saw Lowers in front OF the National
Hotel, Reynoldsville, and at the same
time Lowers saw the constable and,
divining the officers intention to arrest
him, Lowers started to run and
the constable took after him. They
had lively sprint OF about five miles,
down the hotel alley, up the r. & F.
G. R'y, over the hills into the thickets
when Constable Waugerman lost his
wind and lost track of Lowers.
The officer returned to town, sta
toned men at several places that
Lowers was likely to go and then
Waugerman and Squire Perry B.
Love went to Prescottville about six
'clock and concealed themselves in the
rist mill where they could see the
bme of Lowers mother, and they did
lot have to wait long until they saw
\owers coming over the hill back OF
pnig mothers home. He stopped some
distance from the house, behind tree,
and threw stones at the house until he
attracted the attention of his wife, who
5went out to him. After short conver.
sation, no one being In sight, Lowers
went into the house with his wife.
SWaugerman and Love then sailed forth
from their hiding place, Waugermau
to front and Love to rear Of house.
Waugerman stepped into the house
unannounced and uninvited aud took
Lowers by surprise as he was going
through the hall to kitchen. Before
Z O'Clock Wednesday evening Lowers
was in the Reynoldsville lookup.
Thursday Lowers was given hear
ing before Squire Love and two Of the
butchers who had bought cattle from
the cattle thief, Swan Herlquist, of
Anita, and Andy Sabel, Of Desire,
Identified Lowers as the man from
whom they had bought cattle that
was afterward claimed by men from
whom the cattle had been stolen.
The evidence was so strong and posi-
tive that Squire Love could not do
otherwise than bind Lowers over to
COURT and as he was unable to give bail
~ was taken to jail.
mo doubt Lowers could tell W: ].
Morrison what become of the young
heifer stolen from his barn several
weeks ago.

Cowardice.
the ST. Louis star.

As remarked IN yesterday 5 ed
itorial, there are several kinds of
courage and of varying degrees.
There are also several kinds of
eowardice and of even greater
difference Of degree: There is
the excusable cowardice of the
child. afraid of the dark, due to
ignorance; there is the eOwardiee
of the strong man afraid of the
dentists chair, and of the man
otherwise brave, but made Il cow
ard through fear for loved ones.
But, there is one kind of coward
ice that is so contemplate, be-
cause so dishonest, that those
who show it should lose the re-
spect Of all decent men. | refer
TO the cowardice of men who, in
possession and control of tremen-
dous public power and influence
in the management or ownership
of a great newspaper, safely en-
trenched behind the most terrible
weapon of modern civilization,
without a dollar of responsibility
perhaps, use that weapon to muir
der or assassmate in cold blood,
the reputation and perhaps the
very life of any man or institu-
ton which has incurred their
malice or stands in their way.
1t is the unfortunate reputa-
ton of st. Louis hat any man
who comes forward in this com.
munity and devotes his energies
and efforts, increasingly, to it
building up and prosperity, has
seemed to be almost certain o.

Governor and his associates were
unable TO carry the interest on
the bonds, and faced a receiver
ship and ruin, or the alternative
of selling the bridge. Not one
of those, now seeking TO aSsaSsi-
nate the Governor with misrep-
reservations in this matter, con-
tributed one dollar toward that
bridge, or volunteered to bear one
penny of the interest on its IN
vestment to keep it out of the
hands of the railroad monopoly.
The old pretext of this attack
on a man, who, increasingly for
years, has devoted himself, his
resources, his big brain and
energies to the building of st.
Louis and the State of Missouri
who, alone, was responsible for
securing to st. Louis and the
State of Missouri, the Worlds
fair, which first put it on the
map, and who in reality, did Sc
cure the Merchants Bridge of
the City of st. Louis, and would
have held it for the people of st.
Louis, had he received any sup
port in that holding from st.
Louis a man who has served this
community and State as no
other single nan in it has served
it; is so in line with the whole
history of st. Louis public as
sassin, as to arouse in every de-
cent mans breast a resentment
and disgust and contempt, for
the methods employed, entirely
outside of any political questions
at issue.
1t might not be difficult to dig
below the surface and find the
animus behind these attacks. II
that digging could be successfully
accomplished, it would probably
also uncover a mess of corrrupt-
ion in journalism which would
disgrace the profession. Having
