WEDNESDAY, JUNE :, 1587 ——— Rats desert a sinking ship. Gen Isaac 8. Catlin, ex-district attorney of Brooklyn, who has always been prominent in the republican party of that city, has resigned from mem bership of bis republican ward com- mitteo and applied for admission to the democratic organization. He has been displeased by recent man- agement of the party in the nation and is an avowed supporter of Presi- dent Cleveland. President Harris, of the Chicago, Ft. Scott & Texas, is still in New Vork competing arrangements pre- paratory to commencing active work on the new road. He sends word home that everything is all right and he hopes to be able to commence active operations in a short time. The Tres has great faith in the ear ly construction of the above road But as great bodies move slowly, and especially in railroad matters, the poople are obliged to wait their pleasure. {t is stated that the rush of immi grants to this country is caused by statements made by fovei ore Bist the ports of this country would soon be closed against foreign labor evs. The ! iainst the importa tion of Jaborers under contract has given rise to this statement. The #leamships are heavily “n, and at the preseat rate nearly a willion im migrants wre likely to be added to WaT.

Judge Scott is looking tine, having endured his confinement well. He says he kes Jefferson City very much and ia infatuated with the sheriff and his family with whom he boarded —| of different Clinton Democrat. BE FAIR. An article appeared in the Eldor- ado Democrat of last week under th caption “Foully Murdered,” in which | our people the writer gets fearfully and wonder- fully excited over the killing of John Vandenburg at Rockville last Tues- day. The article not only shows a high coloring of facts in order to create an unnatural excitement and interest in the case but perverts those facts, in the most shameful manner in the writer's over zealousness to have the killing of a brutish fiend, by a justly outraged and indignant brother, condemned by the public. The article condemns not only the parties who fired the shot, but the officers of the law become objects of his great wrath. He grows eloquent in his denunciations and pours out the vials of his wrath upon the entire community in which the crime was committed, condemns indiscriminate- ly the officers of the law, the parties who did the shooting, the entire com- munity in which the crime was com mitted and the detective who ferreted out the criminal. Not in the whole State of Missouri, or the United States, can a more worthy or law abiding set of citizens be found. This is proven by the fact, that, in spite of the positive identification of the prisoner by the victim, and the great excitement consequent thereof, he was kept in Rockville from Friday until Tuesday following, guarded by I nen enough to repel any assault from without. The officers of the law were in no way to blame, as they jhad taken every precaution, as they supposed, to s ire to Vancenburg a fair and impartial trial. He was tried, jas he should have been, in the com | munity in which the crime had been committed, and so thoroughly were the people convinced that he was the man they wanted, and that he should pe awful guilt, that, so Esq. Boreing informed us, ay the penalty of his it would have proven the death of the prisoner to have attempted his removal. The people, as a mass, etermined that he should have trial, but that he should not escape evidence of his guilt by a le gal trick. The reference to sher Wf Glazebrook and deputy but showed the utter ignorance of the writer of the whole proceedings as the prisoner was not at the time of shooting nor had he ever been under the sh Mr. Glazebrook w: i at the re- quest of the Justice of the Peace and We are at all times opposed to mob law. and it is to be deplored in any form in which it may to the laws of riffs protection. on hi Attorneys to keep the peace. appear as an cnemy our land. But while all good citizeus deplore the killing of Vandenburg in the tanner in which it was done, still we ean but remember that there is an unwritten law, that makes even the dumb brute protect its own from injury or avenge that injury when committed. If we pause to consider we can but have sympathy and admiration for that man who would avenge the wrongs of a beloved sister at the hands of a human brute. A virtuous and mod- est maiden would rather, ten thou- sand times over, suffer death than ch an outrage and who but a lov ing brother. the natural protector, can truly sympathize and have his great heart fired to fury over the wrongs of such a being. We say, let the man who would not avenge such a dastardly and cowardly out- rage, be the one to cast the first stone. Of the guilt or innocence of Vanden- burg we. of course, do not know, but we believe that the one who fired the fatal shot that took his life was thoroughly convinced that he was killing the ravisher of Miss Jennie Anderson. SEU ERaRnedieeeeeern a MORE WORK FOR BIG SEVEN. We learned from parties from Boone township who were in the city Monday that a corps of surveyors had just arrived in that township surveying a line of road from Ottawa, Kansas, to Clinton. They are mak- ing no noise about their work but pushing right through as though they meant business. iC to Clinton. ; railroads through this county with one or two others pro- ———— jected, and the position of the exten- tion of the Emporia. Some of them e | we will positively get, if not all. if are wide-a-wake and look- ing to their interest. The time to strike is while the ironishot. There is no doubt but that Bates county at no distant day will be punctured with railroads. Her great mineral resourses and natural advantages are items that will not be overlooked by capitalists and railroad builders in the east, and as everything is mov- ing westwardly let us catch our share. Just at this time there 1s work for the Big Seven. ——— A Married Woman skips with a Beard- less Youth. Troy, Mo., May 26.—This town was considerably excited when the discovery was first made that Mrs. George W. Jones, wife of a business man of this place, had decamped with Larkin Pressley, only 18 orl9 years of age. The family took breakfast to- yether in the morning and Mr. Jones left soon thereafter forhis place of business. On returning home at noon he found things just as he had left them at the breakfast, no dinner prepared, and his wife gone. She left a letter stating that she had ceas- ed to care for her husband, and gush- ing with declarations of love for the new object of her affections. They have three children—two girls and a boy—the former aged 7 and 5 years, and the boy a baby only 14 months old. She took the baby with her and left the little girls, stating to her hus band in her letter that she would al- wayscare for thechild. It is thought they went to St. Louis. Mrs. was formely Miss Ella Musg Marysville, Kan. and in which place Jones es of she was married to the man she just left. in 1879.

Fatal Freaks of lightning. 3. J. Ferguson of Pettis county lost 15 head of fine cattle last Sun- day during the storm. The cattle were in a field 15 miles from Sedalia, and when the storm came up they huddled together near a wire fence. Lightning struck the fence, and fol- lowing it to where the cattle were standing killed fifteen of them. On the night of the same day, Jas. Buller of Castorville, Mo., was killed by lightning. Robt. McClain was al- so badly scorched and probably fatal- ly injured. The two men were re- turning home from singing when the shower came up and took refuge under a tree, when the lightning descended with the above results.

ARRESTS AT NEVADA. | +e e+ —_ Vandenburgs Friends Seeking Revenge —A Min Accused of an Awful Crime. | Nevapa, Mo., May 28.—A. 5. Beckwith, the city marshal of Eldo- rado, who arrested John Vandenburg for the outrage on Miss Anderson, was arrested here to-day by Sheriff Hill and turned over to Constable Smith of Eldorado, on a warrent sworn out by the friends of Vanden- burg, who was killed in court by Miss Anderson's brother, charging him with conspiring against the life of Vandenburg. and Constable Smith left with his prisoner this evening for Eldorado, where the preliminary hearing will take place. It isreport- ed that the friends of Vandenburg have organized a mob to lynch Beck- with, though he says he is entirely in- nocent, as it was his duty as an offi- cer of the law to arrest Vendenburg. James Hayden was arrested here to-day charged with having outraged his own daughter. He came from Fort Scott about ten days ago, and since that time has been showing a new tannery process ou the streets and trying to perfect arrangements to establish a tanyard in this city. He claims that the whole matter was trumped by his wife. who had threat- ened to take his life several times, and from whom he parted for the fourth time last January. He was taken to Fort Scott, where he will be tried. | ‘The importance of purifying the blood can- not be overestimated, for without pure bivod you cannot enjoy good health.
