Respectfully,
Tobias Hufaker.

There is no saying truer than
murder will out" Twenty-seven
years ago Richard Allen killed Charles
Tucker in Casey county. He was
tried and sentenced to term in the
penitentiary, but made his escape
from Jail before being taken to Frank
fort. He went to Missouri and settled
Oh farm, where he reared a family
and led what was apparently a most
exemplary life. fuckers sons never
forgot the murder of their father, but
kept on the hunt of Lis slayer until
they were rewarded by securing his
capture and had him delivered to the
authorities of Casey county after
twenty-Seven years.

We learn from Mr.. w. T. Price,
circuit court clerk, that suits for the
September term of the Adair circuit
court, are being filed very slowly.
Only four up to this time and three OF
them are petitions for divorces Here
tofore up to this date twelve or four
teen suits were filed. The indications
point to very dull September term,
though there is much time for many
suits to be filed. Few law suits indi.
cate that fellowmen are at peace with
each other.

THE UNITED STATES
IN PROPHECY
Tent Congregation VIII Hear That
Discussion Tonight-'Thursday's
Program Interests.

Last evenings lecture at Kilbourne
park was consideration OF the
seventeenth chapter of Revelation.
The great scarlet colored heart and
the woman who sat upon it, we're both
found to be symbolic of conditions
existing in our own day. It Is a
peculiar fact that nearly all prophecy
is particularly explicit in its dealings
with our own time.
Tonight the subject OF "The United
States in Prophecy" will be taken
up. Much is printed of late about the
proposed Sunday bills which, from
time to time are considered in the
Legislative bodies Of our nation. What
the definite action of this nation re
garding this will be and what will be
the outcome of such action is clearly
taught in the prophecy.
Word has just arrived that Elder
A. r. Ogden, president of the lowe
conference Of Seventh Day Advent
lists, and one Of the most brilliant
speakers Keokuk has been priv
ileged to hear for many years, vii
| be here tonight and will speak or
the subject advertised for this even
ing at the tent. The lecture begins
at 8 o'clock.

PEACE
DEPENDS ON TURKEY
If Ottoman Troops viii Retire From
the Holy City, There VIII
be Quiet.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
LONDON, Aug. S.-The ambas
sailors today met in consultation at
the foreign office with Sir Edward
Grey for the purpose of discussing the
Adrianople situation. Now that an
other peace agreement has been
reached in the Balkans it is believed
all that remains to be done is to
make Turkey respect the treaty of
London and retire behind the Enos
Midia frontier.
Bulgaria has formally notified the
powers through the diplomatic corps
at Sofia that she will demobilize her
troops as soon as the peace pact is
formally signed and that she regards
1t as up to the powers to put the
Ottoman out of Adrianople. The
powers took an initial step in that
direction when the ambassadors at
Constantinople informed the sublime
porte that the holy city must be
evacuated Immediately.
