CATARRH.

Twelve Years of Suifering,

Gentlémen:—About twelve years agp, while traveling with Father Kemp's Old Folks Concerl 'l‘l'o_|¥>e as atenor singer, I took a severe cold and waz laid up at Newark, N. J. - This ¢old brought on a severe -attack. of ‘Gatarrh, which I battled with every known temedy for four weeks without avail, and was finally obliged to give up a most desirable position and reﬂuu home unable to sing anote. Forthree years dfterwards I was unable to -ging at alle The first attack of Catarrh bad left my nasal organs and throat so sengitive that the slightest cold would bring on a fiesh attack, leaving me préstrated. In this way I continued tosuffer. The last attack, the severest 1 ever had, was terrible. ™ I suffered the most excruciating pain in my head, was so hoarge a= to be scarce1y able to speak, and coughed incessantly. Itho’t I was going into quick consumption, and I firmly believe that had these symptoms continued without reliéf they would huve rendered me an eas victim. When in this distressing condition, { commenced the use of SANForn’s RApioAr Cure vor CATARRH, very reluctantly, I confess, as ¥ had tried all the adyertised rémedies without benetit. The first dose of ihis wonderful medicine gave me the greatest relief. It is hardly possible for ene whose head aches, eyes ache, who can scarcely articulate distinctly on aecount of the choking accumulations in his throat, to realize how much relief I obtained from the first application of SanrorD's Raptoan Core. Under its influence, both internal and external, I rapidlyrecovered, and by an occasional use of the remedy since have been entirely free from Catarrh, for the first time in twWelve years. | Res’pg‘criﬁ}]_!y FOULR,

DR® SCHENCK'S STARNDARD ) REMEDIES, = ‘

The sandard remedies for all diseates of the lungs are ScneNck’s PuLMONIC SYRUP, SCHENCK'S Ses. WEED Toni¢, and Sonenck’s MaANDRAKE Prurs, and if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy.cure is cffected. 3

To these three medicines Dr.J. . Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled-success in the treatment of pulmonary diseases. £ The Pulmouic Syrup ripens the’morbid matter in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy expectoration, for when the: phlegm or matter is ripe & elight cough will thiow it oft, the patient has rest and'the lungs begin to heal. . 4

To enable ithe Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Dr. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Shenck’s Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck’= Mandrale Pritsact on thediver,rémoving all obstroctions,relsx the gall bladder the bils sfarts {reely and the liver is soon relieved.

Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonicis a gentie stimulant. and alterative; the alkili of which it is composed mixes with the food andpreventssouring. It assists the digestion by toning upithe stomiich to a healthy condition, so that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood ; then the Jungs heal, and the patient will surely get well if care is taken to preveunt fresh cold..

All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either personally or by letter, can 1o 80 at his principal oftice corner of Sixth & Arch Sts!, Phil., every Monday. Schenck’s medicines are £old by all druggists throughout the country. march

Vegetine

Strikes at the root-of disease by purifying the blood, restoring the liver and kidneys to healthy action, invigorating the nervous system. . '

T Vegetine Is not a vile, nauseous compound, which simply purges the bowels, but a sale, pleasant remedy which is sure to purify the blood, and thereby restore the health, :

- . Vegetine : Is now preseribed in cases of Scrofula, and other diseases of the blood, by many o fthe best physicians, owing to its great saccess in curivg all diseases of this nature. :

V’ege tine Does not deceive inviflids into false hopes by purging and creating ajficiitious appetite, but assists vature in (‘,lcariné and purifying the whole syst]em. leading the patient gradunally to perfect health, . 44 : S

Vegetine tid Was looked upon as an experiment for' some time by some of our best physicians, bat {hose most incredulons in regard to ils merit are now its most ardent friends and supporters. ;

- Vegetine ; Says a Boston physician, **has no equal as a blood. purifier.

Izl the winter of 1842, a gentleman and his daughter, a young lady, while traveling through Canada, arrived about nightfall at an old-fashioned tavern. The %e’ntleman concluded to stop there instead of going on to the village of S————, which was ten miles distant, and which they had thought to reach. The daughter—, Carrie— expressed her willingness, as the tavern presented a comfortable appearance, and -they alighted, when it was plainly to be seen that the gentleman: was quite lame, so much so that he was obliged to use a cane.

The landlord came out, and calling a boy to take the horse and sleigh to the barn, he ushered Mr. Spencer and his daughter into a pleasant sittingroom, where a bright fire was burning on the hearth, which- proved very acceptable to our travelers, who had been in the sleigh since morning. ~ “Your room will be ready by supper time, sir,” said the landlord, as ,lm}'left the roomjand went into' the bag=room." 5 v

Supper was shortly announced, and after ~refreshing - themselves, Mr. Spencer and Carrie returned to the cozy sitting-room; where they talked and chatted until = half-past eight. They were then shown to their room, which avas on thé second story, in a wing somewhat distant from the main portion. - : .

- The room was very long, with a high ceiling, On one side; was a window, a,nd’go‘u the other adoor. Just above the door was a bust of King George IIL: | TPhe room "was very plainly furnished, containing two beds, gl wash-stand and. a few chairs.

Cariie took in the whole room at-a glanee, and it must be confessed, had there not been a cheerful fire burning, she would have felt nervous about sleeping there. As it was, the warm glow lit up the room jinto comparative cheerfualness. ; © While shie and her fidther sat by the fire, her eyes wandered to the ILust above the door, when she noticed that the " eye-balls “had ‘evidently heen knocked: out, leaving two empty SDACES. i A : : :

“Well, Carrie,” said Mr. Spencer, presently,! ¢I think you had better lock the door. I am going to count my money.” . & After Carrie had done so, he drew out a money-belt, heavy with bills, and procceded to count them. While doing 'so, Carrie’s eyes .involuntarily wandered again to the bust, when, to her: horror and astonishment, in place of the empty spaces were two glittering eyes, greedily watching every movement of her father. L

The young girl could searcely re: press a'scream; but, controlling herself, she looked toward the fire, while her father went on counting a large roll of bills. . st : “I must have been mistaken,” tho’t the fair girl. “What could make me have such a strange fancy, thought ?” she continued, glancing again at the bust. .

The eyes were still there—two burning, savage eyes, that brightened. as Mr. Spencer went on counting. “Good Heavens!” thought Carrie, “what shall wedo! We are evidently in a-den of thieves, and will be murdered for my father’s money.” How to communicate their danger to her fathier without those terrible eyes noticing it; Carrie could not think. Suddenly a bright idea came toher.. . 7 ! :

. “Father,” she said, ¢loud, “let me take a curd and pencil. I wish to make a memorandum of some items 1 want to purebase in the villige.” Her father handed them to her, after stowing. away ‘his belt. :Carrie wrote tremblingly, in a fine hand,— J“Fatber, do not he frightened; we are.in a trap. Go in the opposite corner of the room, where your face will be in the dark, and look at the bust above the ‘door. In it you will see two glittering eyes that have watched you count your money.” « .

- “Read it,” she said, aloud, handing the card to her father. “I want you to see if I am too extravagant.” Iler father betrayed no, emotion while he read, but said,-—

“You are pretty extrayagant, Carrie. 1 suppose you think your father is made of méuey;” and he arose and went to the washstand, which was in adark corner. :

“Once there he glanced toward the bust and that glance confirmed his daughter’s extraordinary statement. When he camé back to his''seat, Carrie saw that the;eyes were gone. Then, leaning toward her father, she said in a low tone,— it

“You see it is as I said. I have thought of a plan, however, by which we can both escape. You would be perfectly helpless in an affray of any kind on account of your lame leg, so I must try to save us both.” : Then followed a whispered consultation, during which Carrie kept her eyes fixed on the bust; but the glittering orbs had not come back. As she concluded, Carrie went to the window,: thiew it up, and looked out. Beckoning to her tather, who came, she said, or rather whispered,— : - “You gee this shed, father? Well, they will probghkly come up on it and get through the window. Ido not think they will make an. attack before twelve, so I will get out of thig window, jump from the shed, go to the barn and take our horse, and go to B———- for help.” | : Flinging a wrap over her slight figure, she embraced her father tenderly, and-bidding him not worry over her, she jumped lightly out on the shed and disappeared. - . ' Mr. Spencer watched her for awhile, then closing the window, took out a watch, saw that it was nine o’clock, and proceeded to work, He first cov-ered-ulp the fire, blew out the light, and tolled up a blanket, with which

he made a dummy. This he placed in the bed which his daughter was to oceupy. Then hesat down and wait-ed-—oh, how anxiously! / Ten, fifteen, twenty minutes went by, and no sdund came from the vicinity of the barn. Taking off his boots, he crept noiselessly to the window and peeped out, but he could see nothing. Then creeping to the washstand he laid his'money-belt in the drawer and closed it. He threw himself on the bed and once more waited. ; After an hour had apparently gone by, Mr. Spencer threw off his coat and vest, tumbled up the bed, hobbled to the door, unlocked i}, stepped ott into the-kall. This -was in accordance with Carrie’s plan. ! “Tandlord! landlord!” he shduted. Ie then went back into the Toom noiselessly threw upthe window, all the time shouting for the landlord. - That worthy came flying up the stairs, and, late as it was, he was still dressed. A

“Oh, landlord!” gasped Mr. Spencer; rushing towards hig, “I have been robbed! my money s all gone!” “Gone!” ech‘_,ni&nlandlo’:d in dismay. s e e

“Who could have stolen it ?”’ groaned Mr. Spencer. “I had five thousand dollars in a 'belt, and it is gone—stolen!” : | ' : The landlord lit'the candle and looked around, chagrin depicted on every feature. - : ' “Why don’t you wake your daughter, sir?” he guestioned, e “Mr. Spencer hurried to her bed. .

“Carrie, Carrie!” he called, but no answer came; and the landlord, drawing near with the light, saw the dummy, and cried,— = ! ‘ “Why, man, the gitl isn’t there!”

“What!” gasped Mr. Spencer. “Oh, Isee’it-all! The wicked girl has robbed me while I slept, and.run off to meét her lover, fronl whom I was taking her.” - He ran to the wintdlow, fullowed by the landlord. | : w

“Yes, yes, here'are footprints in the snow on the shed!” ¢ried the landlord, while Spencer groaned aloud. “How long do yot think she has been gone, sir ?” askgl the landlord. “For an hour or mere, the deceitful jade!” replied Mr, Spencer. S -~ “Tthen there’s ‘no fuse looking for her, sir,” said the landlord. i

¢Oh, but I must!” eried Mr. Spencer, as he began to descend the stairway, followed by fthe landlord, who had believed every word Mr. Spencer gaid.. s St

' They proceeded to the barh, followed Dby the landlord’s. confederates.

T : o "As they left the batn lhie heard the landlord whisper to ohe of his confederates— i

~ “That job’s up, Jen—we’d better let-the old -man algne” ) 2

~ Once irribre entering the room, Mr. Spencer threw himself on the bed, and awaited the return of his brave daughtetl = 2 ;. i .E\ s

“God. Dless lier . :}ﬂ bring her in safety,” he murmugj 1 o _ Meanwhile all gtew "still, and the hours rolled by. The fire had been raked up and crackied merrily. The eyes were not looking.ftom the bust; they had evidently disappeared TOr the night i : : At last, after what seemed an age to the anxious watcher, he heard a loud knock on the front entrance, and five minutes afterward heard the landlord stumble to the door. Then followed a confused jumble of curses and struggles, then a rush of many feet up the long hall and stairway. The next minute the door was thrown open and his daughter rushed in, followed by the officers, who dragged in the landlord and his confederates. G o «Oh, father!” she cried, “you are safe!” and throwing her arms around his neck the brave girl burst into happy tears. e The sheriff and his posse of men held the landlord and his confederates in a vice-like grasp, while Carrie related the adventures of her perilous ride. ‘ e

« A'fter/I left the barn I'led Tommy to a fence, all unsaddled, sprang on him, wound my arms tightly round his neck, and whispered, ‘Go, Tommy " and away he went like the wind. Up and down, over the frozen|road we went! My arms felt like ice. I tho't I should certainly freeze, and -after what seemed an age of cold and pain, and misery, we dashed into the Main street of S——. As we came up in front of the tavern the stage drove up, and the inmates sprang out and rushed to my assistance. I must have been almost insensible, for I had to be'carried in by the landlord. I was given warm drinks tntil I fully recovered, and was able to relate my story. I told them my suspicions and my fears, and this gentleman”—here Carrie paused, and turning to a fine looking.man near, said: “Mr. James, by his ready belief in what I told, and his energy and spirit in arousing the sheriff and his men, has been the main case in bringing assistance.” - Mr. Spenger grasped the young man’s hand and thanked him. +

“Your plan 3ucceeded admirably, Carrie,”. hlie said; and, advancing to the washstand, he took out the moneybelt, saying, “my money is all right, as you see.” ‘ - The landlord quivered with rage as he saw how compleétely he had been defeated. S e i |

As the men began to search the room, the landlord protested his innocence, declaring that they had'no right to hold him or-his men prisoners, or to search his house. - )

Breaking open the door, above which was the bust, the men rushed in. T’he room was empty, save for a long ladder, which reached a shelf above the door. A hole above the shelf disclosed the bust to be broken in half, so that a man could -easily climb up the ladder) get on the shelf, thrast his head in the bust, which was large enough for an ordinary-sized man’s head, and gee all that was. going on in the adjoining room, G , This certainly looked suspicious, but absolute proot was/yet wanting. On returning to the room cceupied by Mr. Speéncer, they again searched every nobk and corner. . Suddenly, Carrie and. Mr. James, wha had been standing by the fire-plece, gave a loud cry, for on close examination they had found spots: of blood on the bricks which formed the hearth. - -y They began to pull up the bricks, which proved loose, when Carrie, feeling faint, gave way to the sheriff and his men, who soon had them all pulled up, when a cavity was disclosed, con* taining the murdered body of a gentleman whom Mr, James and. the ~sheriff remembered to have stopped at '8 =— three days before. i .

Next is the Love-feast. The authority for thisis predicated upon the fact that before Christ instituted the communion, on the night of his betrayal he first partook of a supper with his dis-. ciples. - They make this a real meal. There is no limit as to kind or quality of food. - The only requirement is, that it be a real supper. After this, and immediately preceding the communion is the salutation of the Kiss,, which they claim was observed by the| apostles and the Christian churches following them. ° In this ordinance the brethren salute each other, and the sisters the same. The sexes do not interchange salutations. THE COMMUNION. ; ~ln|the observance of the commun_ion, which is the ordinance riext in order, the sisters all have their heads covered. with plain ecaps, and the brethren 'with™ heads uncovered,— Thanks dre given both for the bread and {wind. The minister breaks the -bread to the brethren and they to each other. The minister, breaks to the sisters also, but they do not break to each other; and the same is the case in passing the wine. 'he communion and; its attendant ordinances are always observed at night, as this was the hour of their institution by Christ. ‘ It is observed usually'once or twice a | iyear in every church. - 3

< ANOINTING THESICK: = In. addition to these ordinances is that of the laying on of hands and anointing® the sick with oil,| founded on James 5: 14; 15. 1t is done only at the request of the sick person, and always by an elder if onejis within reach, but if it is nné possible to secure the presence of an elder, the ordinance is then performed by a minister. Td perform this ceremony two are always required. et ||~ CHURCH GOVERNMENT, -. The church government is Republican in form. Each church has its council, to which all matters of difference and questions of .difficully must first be submitted. If not settled here they are carried to the council of the district. Thesedistricts generally include about twenty churcles, sometimes less, and the council is composed of delegates from each church. If not settled here, and is a matter of general ‘interest, it is taken to the National Council or Conference, but no local nratter is allowed to come up before that body. In some cases the National Council appoints persons to confer with the local councils, and in this. way assists in the setilement of difficult eases. . _ i " The National Conference is composed of two delegates from edch district. One of the two serves on the standing committee, which has imporrant oflices to perform, and-the other attends more particularly to the matters hefore the Conference. :

But while these delegates constitute the official conference, opportunity is given to all. members . present to speak and participate.in the proceedings. i ' In the lower councils all matters are decided by vote, and sisters are allowed the same privileges as the brethren in this respect, but in the National Conference the decisions are by common consent, and the sisters do not participate in the official deliberations. : :

The special object of ‘this National Conference is to decide matters for which no “Thus saith the Lord” ean be found. Questions naturally arise which cannot be decided by reference to the Bible teachings, and the object of this Annual Conference is to take gll ‘such questions into consideration and decide upon them. A clerk keeps a careful record of all the proceedings, and; at the close the record is printed and sent to each chureli, and becomes the final aut-hority,._syé@; as advice is condcéyned, on all thé®subjects considered. ' :

THEIR MODE OF WORSHIP - does not differ materially from that of other people, save in the use of the Lord’s prayer, which! they repeat at the end of each prayer. In case two ministers are together one offers up a prayer and the other repeats theLord’s prayer. Meeting generally opens with singing an% prayer, after which a chapter is read. Then follows preaching by one:or more of the min--Isters present. If no minister is present the meeting is generally.conducted by one¢ of the deacons.. The services are closed in the sa,ine way they are opened, by singing fand prayer. They do not use the benediction. The minister usually says “We are dismissed in the name of the Lord,” or some similar phrase. During services the sgsters are required to have their heads covered with 'a plain covering, in complance with Paul who says, “It is a shame for a woman to pray or prophesy with her head uncovered.”. The men keep their heads uncovered at all times during services. e

MINISTERS AND ELDERS.

Ministers are selected by the vote of the whole church, bretliren and sisters, regardless of age. In this way the church labors tosecuie a minister of proper gifts to preach the. word. After he has labored sufliciently long in his ealling to give full proof of his ministry, he is then advanced to what’ they cdll the-second.degree and is given privilege to make and fill appointments, baptize, solemnize marriages, ete. Their elders who hold the highest ;position among them, are chosen from ministers in the second degree. They are set apart by the laying on of hamnds. In addition to ministers and elders they have deacons, whose duty itis to wait on tables during communion, vigit the sick, see that tliey are caxed for, and help the elders keep the. church in order generally No salaries, as @ rule, are given to thieir ministeérs or elders, though they maintain it the duty of the church to help them when they need it the same 4as other members. They are not reyuired to give up lawful pursuits in order to carry on the ministry. A church usually has several ministers, but the‘elder is always the presiding officer of the church to which he belongs., ' , : Sl

PECULITARITIES.

They have many peculiarities which they strictly observe, It is to some extent their intention to he a“peculiar people,” believing it both a privilege and a duty. They are non-resistants and will not bear arms under any circumstances. 'Théy believe in implicit obedience to the Government. . They do not generally take a very active part in polities. . They do not approve of going tolaw against persons not ¥ e i :

members of their church, apd will not allow one member to go to law against another, on any pretext what-! ever. All matters between members, of whatever kind, ' must be settled in the church councils, They have no peculiarities of speech, use no titles, and avoid by-words. The terms “Brother” and “Sister” are general among them. They never recognized slavery, nor at any time allowed any person interested in upholding it to become or continuea member of their church. Their record on this subject is very commendable. They have no peculiar views concerning marriage, and do not restriét their members to their. own church.' They are strongly opposed to secret societies of every grade and order, and make member- | ship in them a cause for excommunieation.. . | i |

R BT SR 14 5 £ e & | Their manner of salutation is that of a kiss in compliance with the instructions of Paul and Petér, who teach to salute all the brethren with a kiss of charity. In this particular the sexes do not mingle, believing the house of the Lard to be a house of ordery. .« P L DRESE i

The prevailing style of dress among them 1s somewhat similar to that of the Friends, they are generally able to recognize each other by their dress, and have for many vears had that order among them, and it may be worthy of note here toremark that all the congregations that hold to that order are still plain in/their manner of dressing.. The fundamental principle among them is that of entire plaiuness and abstaining from all useless ornaments. No jewelry, or anything merely for ornament is allowed. . TEMPERANCE. ' On the subject of temperance they are the strongest of teetotalers and claim to be the oldest temperance society in the United States. They forbid" the- use of all alcoholic or malt liquors as.a beverage, in public: or private, and have a decision of the National Conferance that it shall be a cause foi excommunication. .. They permit the use of it for strietly medicinal ‘and mechanical purposes only. They goefarther than this and forbid membpers to be in any way interested in the traffic in liguors of any kind, or to gell any grain lor other article used 1n spirituous liquors ‘to any manufacturer or to any person that will nse it for manufacturing purposes. = They would not, under any circumstances, hold a saloon keeper as a member of the church. =@ ~ e >

| (THE POOR, ; ‘ They make ample provision for the support of their own poer, and never allow them to receive aid from town or county where the congregation is able to support them. All their indigent are well cared for, and suffering from poverty among them is effectually prevented, as should be the case in every religious denomination. ‘ .., LITERATURE. e They publish several periodicals and a few standard works, buf admit themselves to be deficient in-a proper church literature; -but now that the want is felt and acknowledged, active measures will probably be taken to supply it, and give to the church the: means of information concerning ‘their past and present history and church ‘polity, and give ialso to the public an opportunity for more extensive and correct information concerning the denomination than is yef accessible. They now have published among them two weeklies and several: monthlies. ; Though deficient in liter--ature, they have among them some ‘men of considerable learning, and are doing a double work in reforming the people and conyerting the world. Their doctrine is spl’eadin'§ rapidly, and should they .as & religious: body; continue to '‘advocate and 'practice plainness in all things, and. oppose the superfluities and vanities of the world and live close to the teachings of the Holy Scriptures, they are destined to become a leading order amdng the American people. S : The following ; SESL | . BRIFF SUMMARY |||

of their doctrine embodies the leading. features of their faith and practice: . They recognize the New Testainent as the only infallible rule of faith and practice: | e And maintain that the sovereign, unmerited, unsolicited grace of God, is the only source of pardon, and L That the vicarious sufferings ‘and meritorious works of Christ are the only priceof pardon: That Faith, Repentance and Baptism, are conditions of -pardon, and. hence for the remission of sins. !

That feet-washing, astaught in John 18,is adivine command to be observed in the church: S

That the Lord’s Supper is a full evening meal; was, in connection with feet-washing, jnstituted by the Lord 'himself, and in' like manner should still be observed by his people: That the Bread of Communion, and the Cup of the New Testament, perpetuated in commemoration of Christ’s death and sutferma should, in connection with feet-washing and the Lord’s Supper, be observed in the evening, or after the close of the day: That the salutation of the Holy Kiss, or Kiss of Charity, is a divine command, and as such,!is binding upon all the humble f;crll'owe;-s: of Christs: » boanhine That War and Retaliation are contrary to the spirit and self-denying principles; of the religion of | Jesus Christ, and that no Christian has the right to take up arms to shed the blood of his fellow-men: sy

.~ lorse Thieves in Fowa, DEs MoiNgs, la., March 3.—Horse thieves have evidently started on their spring tour. About a week ago ' Dan Flynn, of Dallas ecounty, the wellknown cattle-breeder, had a fine horse stolen. A young fellow who had been at work in the vicinity was sus‘pected, chase was' given, and he was ‘captured, with the horse, in Madison “county, taken back, and lodged in jail. Two nights after he broke jail. 'The Sundaygigight; following, a fine horse ~was stolen from the barn of Mr. Armstrong, in Warren county. A neighbor of Mr. Armstrong, who was on the road very ear_ly in the morn,hng", met the thief and horse, and, od reaching Armstrong’s house, inquired -who was riding his horse, which was ‘the first knowledge Mr. A. had that the l;oﬁse wag not in the stable. Pur‘suit was made, and the fellow captured in Wayne county, making tracks: for Missouri. He was brought back and lodged in jail; and subsequently proved to be the thief who stole Flynn’s horse. 5 i : - During the past few weeks several. horses have been missing in this county, and no trace of them can be found —showing that they were taken by experts. ' J.H. Nelson, a young fellow, who sports fine’ clothes; stunning jewelry, glossy locks, and a huge mustache, has been about the eity. for | some time. His prineipal associates: Wwere fast women. A ’'few nights ago he got into.a fight, was severely punished about the face, 'and eluded the “peelers” by getting out of town. The following - night two ‘horses were s?ol‘en,, in different townships in the county. - Suspicion fastened upon one’ ‘Henry Dunkle, a young fellow whe was frequently in that vicinity, purporting to be a traveling salesman—from the fact that a saddle was taken which he' happened to see hidden away that day.. A description of him | was lodged ‘with the policein the city, and also a bloody neck-tie which was picked up in the farm yard. = The police were satisfied that Harry Dunkle and Nelson were the same persons; and a few days ago; about 3 o’¢lock in the mornipg, he was “pulled” ‘at a bagnio. ; The bloody ‘neck-tie is identified as one worn by him in the affray, and the evidence against Lim is strong. < It turns out since ‘his arrest that his real name is Joseph Tooteler, and that he is-a regular Missouri horse thief, who has followed the business ever since the war. "He is|also wanted at various.places for forgery. He is perfectly nonchalant, but expresses a'terrible fear that he will fall into the -hands of the "Vigilantes, which is not diminished much: by the full view he has/from his call window of the lamp-pl‘)st; ‘where - Howard dangled. It is fortunate that he fell into the hands of officers, “for the township Vigilantes were close on his ‘heels, and their victinis have dangled . from several trees. - = ', In Howard: county,. re¢cently, two young men, named Frank Mills and Andrew Hulver, came into the village of Chester, where they hung about a saloon untillate, when they ;wex& to -a farm house near by, stole a set jof harness, ‘¢ame back, hitched their ‘horses to the wagon of a Howe sewing machine agent, and drove off. In the wagon were: two machines. ' A citizen: saw them start, and, suspecting something ° wrong, notified the agent, who at once, with five other mern, startéd in pursuit. The thieves made good time. At Forestville they stole- another set of harness. 'They then ' steered for Ktna, and, on the way, stole two more Sets of harness. When about four miles southwest of Chester, the pursuers came in sight of them, on the prairie.- The thieves also discovered . the pursuers, and -quickly -turned: up to a straw-stack and hid'thejr ‘plunder,.detached their horses, mounted them, and broke for .the brush. The pursuers halted at ‘Chester, organized into squads, and set ouf to corral ‘the thieves. On going to the house of a farmer, oue of them was found quietly eating supper. He was arrested, and placed in charge of an oflicer at Etha.. The next morning the Vigilantes took him, from the officers and went to a grove, where they asked him-to divulge his name and that of his comrade. He refused, and they swung him up by the neck. Three times he went up, until he was black in the face and insensible; but, as the rope began to “pull the fourth time, he put up his hand, when he was let up. He made a full confession, and was deliye{red over to the officers. - Hulver has not been found:: - . . s
