Smoke Little Jersey cigar. A YOUNG GIRL ENTICED TO HER RUIN. Omaha, July 17. Detectives have just returned Sarah Clark, the 16-year-old step-daughter of J. C.

Smith South Omaha, to her home. She had been enticed away by Mrs. June, osten sibly a milliner, under the pretext of obtaining a good paying position in a Cheyenne millinery establishment. On reaching Grand Island however they left the train and drove to a camp of railroad graders, ten miles distant, Mrs. June representing that she had re latives there she desired to visit.

There the girl was kept a prisioner from June 24 until July 16, when the detectives found her. Her hair had been cut short anb she bad been forced to don male attire. She had been beaten and abused in an outrageous manner, and is now in a critical condition. Warrants are now out for Mrs. June and a number of the graders.

COUNTY PROSECUTOR SLAIN. Mexico, July 17. W. S. Mosby prosecuting attorney of this county, was shot by Mark Stevens at 11 o'clock last night and instantly killed.

Mosby visited Stevenson's house, but for what purpose it is cot known, unless it whs to see Stevenson's wife, a young and attractive woman with whom he and others are thought to have been on intimate terms. Mosby was formerly law partner of T. B. Buokner of Kansas City. He had been married about a year and his wife is now on a visit in Montgomery county.

He was prominent member of the Christian church. Smoke Little Jersey cigar. Richard White has moved to 502 Topeka avenue. Cbas. Kemper returned from Kansas City yesterday.

A THROUGH SLEEPER TO CHICAGO. Every afternoon at 8:55 o'clock, upon arrival of trains from the west, a magnificent Pullman sleeping car leaves Topeka for Chicago via the Great Rock Island Route, making close connection with the farrcus "limited flyer" running through without change, arriving at Chicago the following morning. This is certainly the quickest and most convenient mean of transtportation between points in Kansas and the city of Chicago. For accommodations in this notify your local agent, and he will be glad to make such reservations as you may require by telegraph. NO.

CHAUTAUQUA ASSEMBLY-The attraction Ia6t night at the assembly was Dr. Young's steroptican views given on a canvass arranged on H.

M. S. Pinafore They were startling by realistic end faithful rtrayal tl-e subjects they illustrated and fiom the beginning to the end Dr. Young delighted and entertained bid audience with a series of vivid and startling pictures impossible to describe. So perfect were they be secured the rapt and undivided attention of his audience from the time he introduced his first view, New York harbor un il the clcsing yiew "Good Night" ended the entertainment Following the view of the harbor came a noble aud majestic steamer ploughing the waves of the Atlantic, her cabin being shown in the next picture and following a melancholly congregation on her deck makiDg acquaintance with that ever faithful companion of ocean voyages sea eickness, next a sunset at sea and then Queenstoun and a short journey into Ireland and a visit to some of its famous historical spots, thence to Scotland, and among scenes imortalized bv Sir Walter Scott and mr Uobert Barns, and on to London where places most famous in history were visited.

St. Paus, Westminster, The House of Parlumeur on the Thames, The City of London, Westminster Abbey, The Bastile and many other places of interest, showing their wonderful architectural beauties and the riches in sculpture and otter priceless gems of art within, shown with a startling distinctness that carried one in their midst, and for the time seeming to surround them with their astnal presense. The most hopeful representation of the evening was taken from a painting of a dying moment of Queen Elizabeth, with the dew of death on her brow. The indomitable spirit of this remorseless and relentlest woman seemed struggling with a demoniacal determination to cling to its earthly tenement, to respite the summons, that all the pomp and power that were once hers could not appeal an instant from death. Aa amusing incident occured while the doctor was on the first view of the New York harber.

He was saying you observe the steamer when a veritable steamer appeared on the scene directly in front of him The General Garfield, causing considerable meriment in among the audience. The exhibition was vastly entertaining and instructive throughout. The programme at the grounds for to-day will be a lecture in the morning by Reb. D. H.

Muller, subjeot: "Work of Young People in Church," followed in the afternoon by the seme speaker on Young Men and How They Can Attain Manliness." Dr. young will give as an evening's entertainment, Palestine with iews. It will be well worth attending. Smoke Little Jersey cigar. Yesterday morning the celebrated Moore case came on for decision and Judge Guthrie released him on the grounds that the complaint fi'ed ia St.

Ijouis was sworn to on inform ou and belief. As soon as he whs leleased he was arrested by the nst-ble on the charge of living with Mrs. with out being married It is hoped in A 1 il to mis case mat juugo oear wi give them the law in good shape, ia fact if convicted the punishment ought to be such that the next couple not married to each other, will go to some other city, to cohabit as man and wife. A western paper relates this parable: A revivalist requested all in the congregation who paid their debts to rise. The rising was general.

After they had taken their eeats a call was made for those who did AiOt pay their debts, and one solitary individual arose and explained that he was an editor and could not pay because the rest of the congregation were owing him their subssription to his paper. 1 9 TOetheBiiVatPnilaf -toChicaffo for rest. its in in the me To on is a it, nights since, recommending tnat tne main sewer be made bo ss to discharge filth in the railroad ditch in their midst. Mr. Thomas Brown and others that localitv, swear by the eternal, that if Dufrane' bonse fills to the second story, that he shall not have au out-let that direction, as they do not want all blue flies ia town gathered at the end of a tewer in their neighborhood.

Hoping that this mey stop any further proceedings on the report of Dufrane in regard to ewer building. Citizen. P. S. Should th re be any further action on that repoit, you will hear from soon again.

RIGHTEOUS ENDORSEMENT. the Editor of the Coueier: Regarding the disgusting scandal now the boards in Topeka and St. Louis, the Courier's course deserves, end re ceives, the hearty endorsement of every upright man and woman. The Courier has been consistent all through. The names of the "ladies" who are so effu sively offering "words of sympathy and counsel" to the deserving, Mrs.

Norton, may possibly be found on the records of the police court. Behind Captain John sons pet names for the "little woman," stands a fat fee, what the Democrat gets not perhaps known. The Courier gets a clean conscience and honorable men's apj roval. 'Rah for the Courier! One Of Many. Smoke Little Jersey cigar.

It was reported on the street yesterday afternoon that as soQn as Moore learned the St. Louis lawyer was here, he took a horse and buggy and left the city, but he is stunk on Mre. Norton and therefore if she remains he will return. They bo' ought to go and never return, and "they never would be missed, they never woud be missed." Why was it that about the 10th of this month the Democrat was kicking because the Norton Moore outfit were not prose cuted, and now they say it is persecution? Is it any less an offense for these parties to co-habit at the Copeland than for any other degraded couple to go to bouse of prostitution? We think not Day before yesterday Charley Curtis went to Techumsth to prosecute C. Chivers and his son, and Judge Isenhart defended them, the case was quite interesting and a big crowd was out to hear the jury convicted C.

Chivers and Judge Wise fined him $10 and costs. The jury in the case of the State of Kansas vs. F. A. Stein for disturbing the peace, ndered verdict of guily after being out about thirlty minutes.

The case will be carried to the higher courts. Mrs. Williams who has been living in the city for a number of years will move eight miles north to spend the summer. Her mnny friends regret she has decided to leave the city. Chas.

Dufrane ha removed his portable confectionary establishment to the corner of Fourth stieet and is doing a fine business. Leonard Juno, one of North Topeka's bright young mtn has taken a position as news agent on the Rock Island. Wm. Blinn was feeling quite sore yesterday from bruises resulting from the runaway Mondny afternoon. The front room of Ed, Scott's cigar store is being repainted on the inside.

J. R. Young is the artist. Adaline S. Tafthes been appointed by the probate judge, administrator of the estate of E.

A. Taf t. The K. N. are bavin down u.b on Curtis street, and soon their track will be down.

There was quite a crowd of North Topekans at the court house yesterday. Chss. Smith, ex-couuty treasurer Russell county, is in the citr. children thhim, but the ten Coreans left their wivps riPhin Rapid Transit to Silver Lake; only about 4h miles west of North Topeka, at 8200 per acre; one third cash, balance to suit. This is a rare chance for parties seeking a home.

Go to J. L. Beverly. Ho ye Gardener, why seek ye and find nothing? Come to J. L.

Uveriy. He can fit you out with what you have been looking for, 827 Kansas ave. Now as the presidential campaign is settled, let's get down to business. Everybody is wanting lots of it (gold and silver). Now the only way to get it is to buy some of those beautiful lots of J.

L. Bevt-rly in Maple Grove addition; one of those five acre lots, as they are offered on such reasonable, terms. Please don't delay. 827 Kansas avenue. KANSAS NOTES.

Norton has secured the location on the Christian college. Coffin is the suggestive name of a green grocer at Scott City. Osborne county has paid 610 bounty on wolf scalps captured the past three months. There are fifty-three electrict lights in Atohision, and each kills two quarts of bugs every night. The Wiufield Visitor is engaged in an effort to manufacture a sentiment in favor of buttermilk at that place.

The Masons are preparing to build a 8200,000 temple. That seems like a great deal of money to put into a goat, pen. Mr. Nopence lives at Osage City. The presumption is that he is connectel with some of the newspapers at that place.

The Greeley News says every othr man vou meet now comes from Indiana. Has Ben Harrison's candidacy anything to do with it? Charles Mclntyre of Garden City is the owner of a dog on which he refuses to pay the tax prescribed by ordinance. It is a prairie dog. Please remember that there is a difference between John A. Martin and John Martin.

The one is governor of Kansas and the other never will be. Sam Wood has been ordered to leave Stevens county or die. It is just dead ceitain that he will do neither. Sam is a daisy that is a white daisy. Jusction City Union: It is paid that John Martin has purchased an interest in the Abilene Gazette; or, in other words, Rohrer has caught another fish.

The address at the fall opening of the Kansas Sbite university will be worth going to Lawrence to hear because it will be delivered by George R. Peck of Topeka. There is quite a rivalry springing up among a number of Kansas towns in re- Jation to babies. A worthy spirit of emulation in this direction is not a bad thing for a new state. Eureka Republican: The candidate for auditor of state on the Democratic ticket is a doctor and hs the distinguished honor of being the husband of a full-blooded Indian woman.

Lawrence Journal: Mr. Garrelt, an energetic farmer north of town, hKS just harvested 1,000 bushels of wheat. The grain was 32 bushels to the acre. He has marketed 400 bushels already. The claim that Leavenworth has a mule that made a tripto California in 1849 might be disputed, bnt heaven stay the vandal hand that would rob that town of any just source of locaj pride.

A Kansas paper has not yet made an estimate of how many times the twine which has been used to bind the wheat crop of that state would go round the earth if all the pieces were tied together. The inmates of the city prison ct Winfield made their escape last Satur- i I since the di I.
