The next morning afler they had argued the question, Carr went into the store and asked for ten cents worth of tobacco. ''You 'iin't have anything from this store until your bill is paid," growled Hamilton. "How much is my bill?" inpuired Carr. lie was informed thai, it was thirty-live cents.

Carr went straightway home, secured the money and placed a revolver in his Iloturning to the store lie paid the bill, and drew from his pocket the revolver and shot Hamilton, killing him instantly.

Mr. Pralle is ii'mi in Topeka and the interests of Marshall county are in jieteut hands. The coiinly commissioners will organize anew next week and will prob-ttbly visit some other county-seat soon to inspect jails, in order to determine what kind of a jail they will creel.

The general sentiment is in favor of building the new jail on the 4'ourl, I louse grounds, and it certainly should be erected there. Some of the I'i'siilents in the immediate ncighhur-liood of the t'ourl, Mouse are opposed his, liul I heir opposit ion is due Id a misconception of the effects of the erection of Ihe building and to a groundless prejudice. The jail should In- built to appear as a handsome modern dwelling, and will add to the beauty of the part of town In which il is located. The sherill' occupies the liuilding as his residence, without inconvenience, and the surrounding householders will not be discommoded in tlx least. In Seneca the jail is across the st reel from the court house and in Ihe best, residence portion of the town.

In llollon the court house and jail occupy a sipiarc in the business cent er. In Manhattan the jail is nurroiindcd by good dwellings. In Junction City the jail is under the court house. In Council drove the jail is a pretty cdilice on the court house block. In Beatrice, the jail is across I he st reel, from Ihe court house and surrounded by residence properties.

In 1'awnee City, the jail is under the court house, both occupying a block in Ihe center of the town. In fact there are few places, where the jail is not in the business or residence part of Ihi' cily, and none that, we know of where it is so ii nveuieiitly located as here. The people of Marshall County are paying for the new-jail they want it where they can see it, and where ot her people can see luiild ihe jail on the court house lots. 'A hungry lly one day Hew into a grocery store, and seeing a barrel of sugar standing uncovered, said 'This is Ihe softest snap I have struck for soiiH" lime I will just light here and till up with sweetness enough to lasl me as much as a couple of days. And while the lly was tilling ils interior Ibe man who was trying lo run the store lyuue by, anil seeing that the lid had been knocked olT the sugar barrel, put it on again.

This didn't worry the liy in the least, for it supposed that some one would soon come and remove the cover of Ihe barrel in order to get sugar for Home customer. Hut the lly did not know il had wandered by chain' into astore whose owner never advertised. And when some weeks afterward the sheriff took charge of tlio store on behalf of thecreditors, and lifted the lid from the sugar barrel, il was found that the unfortunate lly had perished from thirst. Moral If that lly had been thoughtful enough to carry a canteen he might liavc done well for a considerale period." From Tom McNeill's Fables. quiry wrs made as to now lie liaM lieen released from the pen so soon.

He I hen related how il all happened. Oliver Morton, governor of Indiana at that lime, was touring Ihe country visiting the penal institutions. He and Carr went lo the same school when boys, and while inspecting the prison the governor was surprised to run across his old friend, lie reached out his hand and they shook. Morton "Jim, what have you done? 1 am uirpriscd to see you here." "I haven't lone a thing," he said, "only killed a rebel." The next day. Carr was called lothe warden's ollicc, and his liberty was given him.

We wonder if the warden's book at the pen shows today what, became of Jim Carr who was sentenced to the pen for life?
