Murderer ot J. Joplin Herald. | On the morning of September 23d | the dead body of a man was found lying by the roadside near Liberal, Mo. A bullet hole in his head show- ed plainly the cause of his death, | and suggested a foul murder. Let-' ters on the dead man's person indi- | cated that his name was J. A. Miles his father lived at Rosebud, Arkansas, a small town near Little Rock. A letter was at once sent to Richard Miles whose name was signe ed to the letter found addressed to J. A. Miles. The coroner's inquest found no | one who could recognize the murder- ed man and the affair was for some days a profound mystery. In the meantime residents of Arcadia, west of Liberal, remembered that two | young men traveling in a road cart | had stopped there the evening pre- ceding the murder. They had stop- | ped at a blacksmith shop to have a | shoe adjusted on the horse, and left | at nightfall in a southerly direction. One of the travelers answered the description of the murdered man. Sunday Sept. 25 Richard Miles ar- riyed at Liberal from his Arkansas Lome. The authorities had the body | exhumed and the old man at once recognized the remains as those of his son, from the clothing and from | a mutilated left hand, the fingers of | which had been torn off in a cotton | gin. The father stated that his son and two other young men that had left Arkansas with him had been can- vassing in Bates county taking or-| ders for pictures. His last letter | was from Lone Oak, Bates county. They had been unsuccessful in the) “eture business and were penniless. oung Miles stated that he was | about to start for the Indian terri- | tory to pick cotton and that his two and companions had secured work on a! per said it would be impossible for | farm near Lone Oak.

S. marshal Mapes and af. ter securing all possible data from the Arcadia people they set out south. Friday they arrived in Joplin. At a feed yard in south Joplin they ase certained that a man had been ar vested at Galena some days ago on suspicion of being a horse thief from having sold a horse and cart for a frivolous price. The suspect tad been held a few days and releas- ed as vo evidence could be secured to warrant his detention. With the assistance of the Galena marshal they were soon on his trail and met him in the “Peach Orchard” return- ing from the “State Line House” : He endeavored to escape by dodge } ‘ another. ing amongst some houses but was run nown and caught. He had on a suit of clothes which Mr. Miles at | i bal ee They were put aboard a vessel! ! once recognized as onging to his |i ound fer Hull, England, f son and that he had taken from a peeryeees Mee ose ern satchel that was carried in the cart. The prisoner proved to be Amos Avery, dissolute young man of Fort Scott. He had sold the cart for $2 aud traded the horse for a watch. MAUD S.’S CROWN IN Two Great Racers Expected to Lower the Old Record. New York, Oct. 2.—Robert Bon- ner was seen last night and asked his views on Nancy Hanks’ 2:09 trot at Richmond, Inud., Wednesday. He was much interested in the showing. “I consider Nancy Hanks a wonder- ful mare,” he said. “She is better horse than Allerton in my opinion Allerton has a record of 2:09}, but that is on a kitetrack. That makes a difference of several seconds. Nan- cy has been running on a regulation track and according to reports she runs with ease and without a skip or break. She beat Allerton in the last race. The’fastest mile run was then 2:12.” “It is my opinion,” continued Mr. Bonner, “that Naney Hanks will beat Maud S.’s record this fall. So will my Sunol,whe is now in Califor- nia, in the hands of Governor Stan- ford. Sunol is the greatest horse on the track to-day.” Here Mr. Bonner produced a let- ter from the Californian. The let- ter said that Sunoi would be given a public trial in a few weeks and that the governor expected the mare to lower the record by the remark- ble time of 2:06. If she did not do it at that trial she would be given The governor thought that she had that speed in her and he was bound to bring it out In speaking of Maud S., Mr. Bon- Maud S was breeding at his Tarry- town farm and for a year or two at |least it would be out of the question | day, surrounded by 400 children, | | to think ef trotting her to break the record. “Sunol is queen of the turf,” concluded he. “I think both she aud Naney at Maud S.'s time.” Hauks will be A penit cently del fession: “Brethren, my confess that th compels me to boiling down my sap put in the ke ter aud sold t the omincus showed that no man ¢ first stone. ple sugar bounty is building up a new American industry. sil llowed 1 throw the | DANGER.

Topeka, Kau., Oct. 2—A large audience that greeted Senator Peffer and Jerry Simpson at the opera house last night. Many of those who attended were attracted princi- pally by curiosity. as neither of the speakers had ever been in Topeka before. Senator Peffer made the principal address, occupying over two hours. His remarks were confined almost exclusively to financial matters and he quoted column after column of figures. He said that if the govern- ment would issue $2.50 in paper for every dollar of the $400,000,000 of silver in the treasury the people's party and farmers’ alliance would disband. That, he said, was all the new moyement demanded. ll that was wanted according to his idea was money of any kind in large quantities. It is Dr. Mary Walker. Hanover, N.H., Oct. 1.—Dr. Mary Walker is still detained by the sher- iff. Her identity has been establish- ed beyond reasonable doubt. The feeling that she has gone beyond the limit of endurance in this affair is growing fast, and it is quite likely that she will uot be liberated at present. Prefitable After All. Kansas City Star. Godliness is profitable in all things. Last summer there was a revival meeting at Huntsville and one of the most regular attendants was a prom- inent farmer. At the same time the meeting was in progress a rainy spell set in and he could not culti- vate his corn. Some ribald young men in the neighborhood took occa- sion to ridicule the old farmer a lit- tle. They posted this notice on the fence around his cornfield: *‘Jesus my all to heaven is gone, The weeds are here but where is my corn?’’ The jokes has rather turned on them, for the religious corn raiser sold his crep in the field the other day for $15 an acre. jand friends.

D r Few people have suffered more severely from dyspepsia than Mr. E. A. McMahon, a well known grocer of Staunton, Va, He says: “ Before 1878 I was in excellent health, weigh- ing over 200 pounds. In that year an ailment developed into acute dyspepsia, and soon I was reduced to 162 pounds, suffering burning sensations in the stomach, palpitation of the heart, Nl nausea, and indigestion. I could not sleep, lost all heart in my work, had fits of melancholia, and for days at a timc £ would have welcomed death. I became morose, sullen and irritable, and for eight years lifc was a burden. I tried many physicians and many remedies. One day a workman employed by me suggested that | I take 8 Hood's | Sarsapa- rilla, as {it had Suffering cured his j wife of dyspep- | Sia. I did so, and before taking the whole of a bottle I began to feel like anew man. The terrible pains to which I had been subjected, | ceased, the palpitation of the heart subsided, my stomach became easier, nausea disap- | peared, and my entire system began to tone up. With returning strength came activity of mind and body. Before bas the fifth bottle was taken Ihad regained my former weight and natural condition, I am today well and I ascribe i: to taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla.”’ N.B.
