Sedalia, Mo., Aug. 31.—Sheriff Tom Crammer of Cooper county ar- rived in the city to-day with Squire Divers, anegro fiend, and placed him in the county jail. Diverstwo weeks ago outraged the 16-year-old daughter of Amos Henshaw, a wealthy farmer living near Ashland, Boone county, and was arrested and placed in the Col- lumbia jail. Monday Sheriff Evans of Boone county was notified that a mob would visit the jail to lynch the prisoner. The vigilantes were on hand as pre- dicted, but the sheriff and his pris- oner were on their way to Mexico. The mob then threatened to go to Mexico and take the prisoner from the jail and the officers decided to send Divers to Booneville and tele- graphed Sheriff Crammer to go to Mexico and get him. Crammer secured his man, but while en route to Boonville to-day received another telegram directing him to pass through Boonville and goto Sedalia where the prisoner would be secure. Crammer obeyed this last order, leaving Divers ina cage in the jail here, guarded by Sheriff Smith and his deputies. It is said that the people of Boone county are terribly enraged and that Divers’ life would not he wortha straw if he should fall into their hands. Speaking of dry weather, a close observed of nature remarked to a re- porter: “I havea dry weather sign which for years I have never known to fail and at thesame time illustrates the great wisdom of small creatures, and that is this: Whenever you see the grass of the lawn or field cover- ed with numerous small webs, as you have doubiless often seen, you may depend upon it that the weath- will be dry for sometime. The tiny creatures seem to know with unerr- ing wisdom when to spread their tents and they require notime to make calculations, for Ihave fre quently noticed them immediately upon the cessation of a heavy rain.” A Tennessee Man Chosen.

T., Sept. 1.--At Table Spring, twenty-five miles east of this city, yesterday, a man named Given accused another named Moraine and Daniel Pixley of horse stealing and Pixley and Moraine hunted him up and demanded a retraction. Hot words ensued, when Given and Moraine drew their revolver and fir- ed until both were mortally wound- ed. Pixley, who wasan uncle of Moraine, becoming enraged, seized a hammer and finished his nephew's younger into a bed chamber and ‘assaulted her. The older girl es- caped, and, going to a neighbor's gavean alarm. A posse was organ- |ized and started after the black | brute. He was found hiding in the | woods, and unfortunately for him Judge Lynch neglected to bring a rope. It was suggested by some one that he be burned to death. This was acted upon. He was bound to sapling and dry leaves and other in- flamable material piled up around jhim, a match was touched to the j combustibles, and the negro burned to death. Thursday morning when young Beerman, living about five miles north of Holden, went to the barn to feed he found his father in the hay mow cold in death. It seems the father, Frederick Beer- man, had not been living ai home for the past thirteen years, but had been wandering aimless in the Wild West. There was an estrangement between him and his family—yet when he felt that death was near he sought his home. He was 68 years old.—Holden Enterprise. The Ft. Scott Monitor thought it would be a good joke to offer its dai- ly edition one year as a premium to any one who would point out the place in the Bible where the com- mandment “Honor thy father and thy mother-in-law,” could be found, and thus, as it thought, set a lot of people to hunting for what could not be found. Before the offer had been out an hour, however, three people called at the office and refer- red the astonished editor to Tobit 10:12, where the commandment is given. The editor hastened to de- clare the offer off, but not until his little joke had cost him about $50 worth of papers. A Parachute Girl’s Experience. London, Sept. 1.—Miss Beaumont the American parachute performer, while giving an exhibition of her daring at North Shields yesterday, | became entangled in the rigging of | her air ship and only saved herself by grasping the lightening rod on a | lofty building as she passed it. With one hand in the rigging of her parchute and the other clinging to the lightening rod, she remained suspended in mid air for a long time until reseued by men from her per. ilous position with ladders. man W.

It was discovered that the steers had been taken from the McCormick pasture in Barton county and were owned by parties in Lawrence county. Sheriff White got an inkling of the fact that Pritchard had gone south instead of north, and he fol- lowed the trail to Springfield. He reached that town Sunday morning and the first man he saw was John Pritchard standing on the depot platform evidently waiting for his partuers incrime. They had prob- ably arranged to meet at that point and divide spoils.—Nevada Mail. The Springfield Republican, speaking of the meeting of the State Alliance and Wheel in that city Tuesday and the probable union of the two into a Farmers’ and Labor- ers’ Union, says: “The organization of so largea number of voters as will be embrac- edin the combined society of the farmers’ alliance and wheel will nat- urally excite the interest and atten- tion of all political parties. Politi- cians will trim their actions so as to catch the good will of the organiza- tion, and demagouges will strive to capture its vote. It is not too much that the parties and partisans will scheme to transform the whole or- ganization into a political machine. or to gain it for an ally in party campaigns.

C., Sept. 1.—Re- cent agitation about the building of a newand more extensive presiden- dial mansion has brought to the sur- face an old mortgage on the White house that has been lost or forgot- ten for along time. W. B. Harlow, secretary and treasurer of the Mt. Vernon avenue association, is the man who brings forward this claim. In an interview about the proposed executive mansion he says: “I am glad to see the matter agitated, and T hope it will be taken up and push- ed by congress. When it is our as- sociation, to whom the Virginia leg- islature has transferred its claim against the government for money borrowed by General Wasington to build the present structure, will pre- sent the claim and ask for payment for the old before it commences the new. The claim, which is for $120,- 000, has never been denied by the government, nor can it be, for we have the promise of the government made through Washington to pay | the money back to Virgima should | it ever be able to do so. We will not perhaps ask that the claim be paid in money, but will probably pense of building the proposed na- they agree, we will transfer the Vir- ginia mortgage on the White house as a contribution to the project.” Elliott’s Second Victory.
