Keaven's' Livery to Serve the Devil MILWAUKEE, Wis., April 12.—A special from Watertown, Wis,, to the Sentinel says the Rev. T. Koehler some six months ago came here from Manister, Mich., to take charge of the German Evangelical church. He was a very important appearing person, dignified and pompous. His ministrations were successful and he had no difficulty ia having his wants of whatever character supplied, getting trusted to a considerable amount by those of his flock who were in businees, and others. He left town few days ago, his absence '••'being a mystery until yesterday, when letter was received from him by fs^Charles Beckman, president of his »4chnrch committee, written from Detroit, tendering his resignation "and informing any inquiring friends he would be safe in His Majesty's dominion just across the river. It is now learned he had borrowed about $500 in money from various parties in sums of ^from 825 to $200. He had a confirmation class last Sunday, and the fee he

from the members of it he

pocketed, together with the proceeds ^obtained from^he sale of 500 tickets for "'t/a ten cent concert that he had planned.

Several clothing stores had furnished him with stylish suits on credit, and a jeweler wu6 not slow in selling him a tine gold watch on trust.

A Mysterious Dakota Murder. BISMARCK, Dak., April 12.—Coroner Carson has returned from the Agards Bottoms, where he held an inquest on -the body of Jacques Lejaie, a Frenchwoman about fifty years old, who was found brutally murdered in his shack.

Lejaie came to this part of the country about three years afco with two companions, one whom is now-deceased and with the other of whom he Jbggk Wpce 'quarrelled. He had $i,600 on arriving here, and he has not been known to spend any amount of money except for proving up his claim and the purchase of a yoke of oxen. The deceased was found with his head bruised and batr' .tered with an ax, which was found on the shack covered with blood. But little money was found and robbery is supposed to have been the motive of the crime. There is no clue to the, per-' k^petrator.

iS Dearths at Farmersburir. FARMER BBUBO, April 11.—Theexpected death of Mrs. Hay worth occurred in our village April 8th at 7 o'clock. Mrs. Havworth came to this place from near Prairieton and lies beeD living with her daughter, Mrs. Terry. She was a kind a hearted old lady and although compar\atively a stranger here had the last *fkiud offices of her neighbors and now

'*V*Tesfcs

ft** Scarcely had the news of Mrs. Hayybjjworth's death reached our ears than the P&sad tolling of the bell upon the AdvenrV'tist church foretold the sad news that SVjaiaother one had answered the sum-' mons and her spirit had flown away.

This time,: not age had yielded to death's demands but youth and womanhood, formerly Miss Cora Smock, but only a few months since became the wife of Mr. AL Heady. Cora was but 19 years old, a vivacious, bright young lady just entering upon a life of womanly usefulness. But alas, just as she was entering upon the new life and asi^auming new duties, she is cut down by *^the keen scythe death, and is no more.

If sympathy is a balm to the aching heart, her family will accept the sympathy of our entire community in which she was so Well known.

UNIVERSAL PENSIONS.

An Answer to Long Life's Card. Hellow Hell O, Long Life, don't bid rpft good by for I ftm not goney I nave come to stay, I am well drilled, I have a full field battery with me. Did you ever hear of old Seaths Breaches and his battery the rebs called it the revolving battery. Of course I am an Ohio man and Ohio is proud of her men that were in the army and don't you forget it she furnished 319,659 men and Minnesota 26,052.

I see that Long Life has partly an swered my question. I would like to know what regiment he belonged to any way, I will admit that he has the advantage of all old fighting boys, as he has a dead sure thing of his donkey. He says he never carried a musket but he has followed the Johnnies and slept in the mud. What in the world does a man want to follow the Johnnies for without his gun? Likely he wants to talk them to death, or show them his figures on bankruptcy of the »untry and they will gain their point in splitting the country in halves. His figures has doubled up since his first article. If he will take that bill and read it as it is written he can curtail .some of his figures and. it will ldok better to a man that is not color blind. TTia hardships were great and burdensome and is a wonder that he is sound and well today. He spreads himself considerable on the big swindle of the

CJ. P. B. Why don't he have some fault to find of the pensions that are paid to Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Hancock? Why are not the men of the rank and file as much entitled as they are? Have n6t there burdens been just as great and less pay than theirs? If the war had lasted much longer the Q. M. T. would have bankrupt the country as some of them had their stock of books burned so there could be no settlement brought up against them. I would ask "Long Life" if he ever did any fighting 6n Smoky Row. Mr. L. L., I'm not one of them that sells my vote likely you can tell something about your experience on voting. Don't insinuate that the soldier boys sell their votes because that is barking up the wrong stump. If I were a soldier I dont think I would accuse my old comrade of anything of the kind, as for what I will get is not for me to say. I would be satisfied with a land warrant for 160 acres% and call it square.

If you will remember the call for men in 1862 for three hundred thousand and that all men that enlisted in old regimen tsth^t theic. tjfflfi! sho^d ex^rewith the regiment, but when the old regiment was mustered out these 1862 men were held until the close of the war, about 15 to 18 months service oyer and above their time they were enlisted for. What excuse have ydu for those men that they were held so long over time? I knew men that employed a lawyer and he went to Washington and saw Secretary Stanton and he would not muster them out. Don't you think that was wrong and should not the government do something to make that right? I don't think things disgraceful in this bill but for them that are justly entitled to it, with all your disrespect to the boys that did the fighting. The only die-, graceful thing I see is in your article in slandering the men that gave up their lives that the country might live. Are not the live soldiers as much entitled to honors as the dead? Why are not the men of the late war entitled to as much as the Mexican soldier as. they soldiered three and four years in the late war.

BOYCOTTING GOULD.

What the Victim of Blissert's Venom

4

Proposes to Do.

NEW YORK, April 13.—Regarding the threatened boycott of Jay Gtould by the Central Labor Union, Robert Biissert, the labor agitator, said yesterday "Just as John Brown's death was the first death in* the rebellion, so the deaths of these innocent people in East St, Louis are the first in the new rebellion that is sure to come. Negro slavery had to go after John Brown died. White slavery has to go and go it will. We won't burn down Gould's house, for.labor built it We must build rather than destroy. But the boycott is a weapon more silent and more effective than fire, and we shall see if Gould can withstand it. Tlfe strikers are going to be well supported by us. At the clothers cutters' meeting on Saturday each man was assessed $1 a week for them, and we havfc 1,500 members. I think the men who proposed an assessment less than $1 would have been thrown out of the window. The St. Louis men are not fighting for themselves only but for us, and we owe it to them to support them and theirs though we go hungry."

Jay Gould was asked if he had discovered in what way the members of the Central Labor proposed to boycott him. He replied that he had not, and confessed that he was rather curious to know. Looking down at his clothes he remarked: "I have worn this suit two winters, and I guess I can get along with it a while longer if the tailors boycott me. Then you know, I raise almost everything I eat on my place at Irvineton, so I needn't be alarmed about getting food."

He added that he could not see by what process of reasoning any one could hold him responsible for the strike at East St Louis and its results. "I have no property on that side of the river," said he, "no interest in any, and no part in the management of any of the roads centeri*^j^the?B«'^

MASTER SARGENT.

The Firemen's Troubles Settled** ST. LOUIS, April 13.—Grand Master Sargent, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, yesterday continued his investigation into the grievances of his discharged men on the Gould system, and last night found himself prepared to say that the grievances would all be redressed and that there was no probability of a strike of the firemen. The Grand Master said: "The whole matter is just as good as settled already,' said he, "and there will be no more trouble about the grievances as soon as we get them in shape and present them. My talk with Mr. Hoxie and Mr. Kerrigan today, was very satisfactory." "Through what formal proceedings do you take the grievances BOW?" "The general grievance committee I have called, will meet at Parsons, and I will appoint a committee from its members, which will come here with me, take charge of those St. Louis and Sedalis discharges and present the cases of the men to Superintendent Kerrigan. They will-be disposed of in the rightway, I nm confident.'^

ILLINOIS MINERS.

They Have Not Joined the Irons Strike. ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 13.—The apprehended strike of the miners of the St. Louis district, is still an event of the future. It was reported yesterday in Collinsville, Ills., that the miners in that district had quit work, but it was afterwards learned that this was untrue The miners of that district met last night together with the employees of the zino works and the press-briok works, ind formed a thorough organization. Nothing was done pointing in the direction of a strike. Neither is there any immediate danger of the men in the Belleville district A meeting of miners was held near West Belleville on Sunday, at which it was resolved not to suspend operations at present They are disposed to continue work until May first and await the result qf the district convention to be held at Springfield on that day. Coal was got as usual at a number of mines in the vicinity of Belleville, but some mines were compelled to suspend operations temporarily, owing to the absence of railroad facilities for getting their output to market Representative Knights of Labor from Staunton rieited Edwardsville on Saturday for the purpose of inducing miners to Btrike, bat the men, who have regular work there, are satisfied with their present prices and did not yield.

One of the Alleged Perpetrators of it on Trial at Sullivan.

The Story of an Outrage at Carlisle, Ind.

SULLIVAN, Ind., April 12,1886.—[GAZETTE special.]—As was stated in today's paper the time of oUr court was taken up by the trial of Samuel Grant, Jr., by the state for an attempt to commit an outrage on the person of one Miss Augusta Folske. The facts in the case are in substance as follows: Miss Fols'ke lived in Staunton, Nebraska, and in October last started alone on a visit to her uncle living in New Carlisle Indiana, but by some mistake found herself in Carlisle in Sullivan county, Ind., and out of money. It being her first trip from home, and of German parents and with a limited education she was at a loss to know what to do. After many inquiries she found that her relatives did mot live in the town and lit once wrote a message and sent to he! friends at Carlisle, Ind., and sat dowtj to wait an answer. Being worn out with travel and loss of sleep she fell aaleetf and when she awakened found it nearly night. No word having come from her friends she concluded to wait at the depot Some time after dark a lot of hoodlums, for which, we are sorry to say Carlisle is noted, saw her and set about getting her from the. depot in order to accomplish their devilish purpose. Her story, and a straighter story never was told in a court of justice, was that some of the party insulted her while others told hei* they would take her to a place of refuge. By this means they got her to go with them, thinking she was going to a boarding housev Instead they took her to an old coal shed and attempted to persuade her to submit to their wills.' She, however, escaped from them and applied to the house of one Mr. Sproat and begged to be taken in as a lot of bos had scared her from the depot, but she was denied admittance because they had sick folks. She thed started to seek protection elsewhere» and Jyas agaih^aUgbked and forced go old hay ahed were sn& was compelled to remain, all night Here she was most shamefully treated, beaten and bruised in a terrible manner, one of the crowd striking her with his fist from which she became insensible and remained in that condition for a long time.

While she was in the depot she says she asked the depot agent to make "the boys let her alone, but the only consolation she got was to have an old dirty lamp set in the window, as there had been no light in the room before. The general opinion is that if the agent was conniving with the party, he at least failed to act as becomes a gentlemen. There are lots of good people in Carlisle but they seem to have been asleep for a long time and are slow about waking up it seems.

It is a sign that somethiug is wrong with the morais of a town where a lady cannot remain in a depot waiting room without being subjected to the insults of a lot of brutish boys.

Bays and Shelton are assisting the prosecution and are winning the good will of all good people by their efforts in the case. John C. Briggs and Hays and Haye are for the defense.

Sheriff Willis is putting^ hosts of feathers in hfo official cap by the able manner in which he has worked up the trial. It is expeoted the case will cot go to the jury before Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.

ONTARIO'S PREMIER.

He Believes in Home Rule for Ireland. CHICAGO', April 12.—The Hon. Oliver Mowat Premier of the Province of Ontario, who is in the city on his way to California for recreation, expresses the satisfaction of the Liberals of Ontario over Gladstone's scheme for Irish Home Rule. He says Home Rule has been a great success in Canada and that the Liberals of his province indorse the demand of the Irish for the enjoyment of that privilege in Ireland. Home Rule once conceded the Irish, he says can never be taken from them and every step toward the establishment of his principle in Ireland cannot but be just one more step ahead. From the success of Home Rule ,in Canada may be regarded its suocess in Ireland.

IRONS AT PARSONS. /.

PARSONS, Kas., Apr. 12—Martin Irons arrived in this city Saturday and was met at the depot by Messrs. Buchanan and Hollie, members of the local Executive Board, Knights of Labor, who accompanied him to their hall, where they held a pow wow Tasting about an hour.

Talk of Contesting.

The Republicans of Otter Creek township, who were greatly disoomfitted by the election of a Democratic trustee by a majority of two, thought for a whiltf of contesting, but it is supposed they have given up the idea. There some talk also about a Republican contest in Lost Creek, but it is supposed ttffrt also has simmered down to nothing.

An annoying and perplexing loss of memory even of ordinary things indicates, in general, impoverishment of the blood and consequent failure of the brain. This impoverishment is caused by the excess of uric acid in the blood, which can be neutralized and removed by Warner's safe cure only.

He was removed to his room and DrsSpain and Moorehead summoned. As he was too far gone to admit of being walked about an atropia was injected into his arm. He had been drinking and the doctors think the chances of his recovery doubtful. He attempted suioide once before and twice beside through mistake he came near dying from the effects of poison.

He wanted to lay off, but was told that the three extra men were on duty, and that he could not be spared. Then he Baid his baby was sick, but a man was sent to his wife to inquire about it and this was found to be a mistake.

The exhibition given by the pupils of Maple Grove was by far the best ever seen in this nart of the country. The readings and declamations were good. The acting of William Reed, George Tabor, Maggie Taylor and Louisa Van Vactor, in "The Irish Linen Peddler," was fine, and James Emory, Miss Coltriu and Harry Tabor, in "Assisting Bezekiah," brought down the house.
