He Never Will Be Missed.

J. F. Hieronymus, a wierdly named gent of seemingly a large amount of leisure, has not been observed around his customary haunts since Tuesday night,d it is believed that he has taken himself hence. His name was connected with that of Mrs. Landy McGee in no very savory manner, and her relatives here boldly assert that he furnished the money to pay her |way to Kansas City, and the supposition now is that he has gone to join her at that place. He has a wife'of his own out there some plaoe, also, 1 and two little children, and possibly he may have gone to them. He has long been without any very visible means of support, and according to common rumor has been making his living as a sort of capper for a gambling establishment alleged to exist in a Jback room up-stairs in the levee district, His special function being to rope in callow young men from the country who were anxious so invest their hardearned dollars for the delusive reputation of being dead game sports. Hieronymus can very well be’ spared and if he had taken a number of his kindred spirits with him they k would never have been missed, either.
