Dawson, a real estate and loan agent, disappeared a'so. It is said that he went away on the same train. Not long after Dawson's departure his office furniture was attached for debt and the room rented to other parties, but it was not certainly known what bad become of him until the latter part of last week, when the Kansas City papers exposed him. From the Journal's account we make the following extracts: 'On Tuesday erenine a well-dressed gentle man complained to Chief Speers that while vis- mug museum on Delaware street wun nie wile ana a laay mend, he bad been lusnlted by an emDlove of that institution. Investiratinn of the matter by the Chief and Captain of De tectives uitscn aiscioseu a most sensational state of affairs.

As ascertained by a Journal representative 7he story is as follows: Nearly a fortnight ago, A. Davidson, wife and lady" registered at the Hotel fiirism, and were assigned a snite or the best apartmonts that the house afforded. Continued wrangling upon the part ef the parity was the most notioeable feature of their stay at the hotel, and the "wife" of Mr. J. A.

Davidson" aeon became eonspieuoas for her many oomplaints against the cuisine of the hotel named. The party, while guests of the hotel, visited the nrincioal amusement ruru of the city frequently, and the allegation on the part of Mr. Davidson that he had become very recently transformed frcm the life of a baohelor to that of a Benedict seemed well authenticated, until a document direetly to the contrary was received by Chief Speers, from Mrs. J. A.

Dawson, of Girard. in whioh the lady inquired most anxiously for the whereabouts of her husband, one J. A. Dawson, who, while in Girard, acted in the capacity of land agent for thejAtchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad company. In her letter Mrs.

Dawson stated that she was the mother of three children, and that her husband, J. A. Dawson, had eloped with a well-known publie woman of Girard, an4 had, it was supposed, gone to Kansas City. Inquiry by Chief SDeers nlainlv revpaled that Tlftwson and Davidson were se and the same person." The papers continued advertising Dave- son for several days. In the meantime a warrant was sworn out before Justice VanDyke, of Girard, by Joseph E.

McNaught, charging Dawson with forging a deed to a piece of land be longing to him, and Sheriff Braden telegraphed to the officers at Kansas City and had Dawson arrested. He was brought to Girard by the sheriff Saturday evening, and had the hearing of his case continued until next Tuesday, March 10th, giving bond for his appearance in the sum ot $1,000. He claims that be will be able to clear himself. On account of the family connections of the parties concerned we are sorry to have to report this item of news. It is not a pleasant task.

Allie Gaw is the daughter of B. Gaw, proprietor of the Farmers' Mills, and Ada Turner is tlie daughter of the late Allen Turner, deceased. Mr. Dawson is now with his family. CRAWFORD COUNTY CAPERS.

The mud is vanishing. Coal business is more quiet. Cause soring. The companies have given public notice of the spring reduction for digging coal from 4 to 3J cents per bushel. G.

W. Bricker is likely to be assessor of Pittsburg for 1885. This does not meet the approval of Dan Kean. The Christian denomination are trying to rent a room in which to hold services two Sundays in a month, and will make a vigorous effort to build this coming summer. The Pittsburg Coal Co.

is soon to move its present base of operations, and, it is said, will hold its office at Minden, Mo. the new so-called "metropolis" of south- Missouri. The diamond drill now exploring the bowels of the earth under the supervision of this company is going down at the rate of fifteen feet per day, but the oldest man in America, or biggest liar of a reporter, cannot find out whether they are likely to strike salt or coal. Of course, this is a part of their own business, as they are furnishing the bulk of the means for the test. This same drill has a contract at Beulah with Henry Brown, as manager of the "Beulah Coal Company," to explore the lower regions to the depth of 375 feet.

It is the opinion of miners tliat Beulah will not find coal so near, but can find it beyond 400 feet, However, all "signs fail iu dry ather," and geology has been proven a delusion wd a snare in Kansas, as coal has been found where sci ence said there was none, and where great veins were said to exist there no stratum could be found. We wish to remark again, notwithstand ing the Pittsburg council is said to be won derfully corrupt, that it has given the peo ple of that city better drained streets, more crossings, and better roads, than any city in Crawford county (no exceptions whatever), and are pushing the good work at the present tune. The Press, always having an eye to the latest Pittsburg news, has secured the services of a special correspondent, who wil hereafter give items our readers. As this paper is always ahead in news, it expects to keep the lead by a vigorous search for all items of interest, regardless of fear or favor. The Tiffin (O.l Daily Herald has the fol lowing regarding the marriage of Mr.

John A. Nuttman, of Pittsburg, Kansas, and Miss Laura raynter, ot rithn, u. Mr. Nuttman formerly resided in Fort Wayne. and is a nephew of J.

D. Nuttman, the Danker. The bride ana groom are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. D.

S. Keil, aunt of Mrs. Nuttman, en route home. The Her ald say "A large and select company comprised of many of our well-known citizens, and invited guests from a distance, assembled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.

Payntcr, on South Washington street, last evening, to witness the marriage ceremony of their daughter. Miss Laura, to Mr. John A. Nuttman, of Pitttburg, Kansas. At 8 o'clock the bride and groom presented themselves before the Kev.

L. H. Kefauver and were made one. The bride was dressed in cherry colored satin, cut en train, and elaborately trimmed, in which point lace flounces, square necked corsage, trimmed in lace, tulle and cream colored roses, and diamond jewels were tastefully mingled. The groom was dressed in conventional black.

The couple made a very handsome appearance. Fort Wayne Daily Gazette, Feb. 23, 1SS5. The Press extends congratulations, and wishes the newly wed a prosperous life's journey. Mr.

John A. Nuttman is the ef ficient manager of the G. B. Shaw Co. lumber.yards at Pittsburg, and has won to himself friends by good deportment in business and as a citizen.

His accomplished bride will find ill him in after years all that she believed him to be while viewing him as "a lover." It is reported by the defenders and friends of the Rogers Coal Co. that in the fight against them in the Kansas legislature facts have been "stretched" and gross misrepresentations made. One in particular came to my notice. The story-was told in the Kansas House of Repre sentatives that "the company compelled an employe to sign an agreement to take so much of his pay in merchandise and the balance in scrip." If this has been used to prejudice votes it is but justice to say that such is not the case. No agreement is signed.

It will do the cause of right no good to make false statements, and anyone can inform himself of the company's manner of doing business. The truth is all that is necessary in this case, and that is bad enough. Whenever men become too intelligent to live up to the verbal rules of the company they are told to quit, as in the recent discharge of men and also in the strike of shaft No. 3 last February, where men were told openly they must do SO and so as to trading at the store or quit. The Press hopes that no other menus have been used to further the passage of the law than those of an honest and manly character.

A mission will be conducted by Rev. lohn Henry, C. S. S. of Kansas City, Roman Catholic, in the Pittsburg church, commencing ou March 15th and continuing until the 2oth.

The Democracy of Pittsburg are gazing with longing eyes upon the post-office, especially those who have not much to do. They are intensely interested iu the great eclipse of the year the cloud of Democracy which obscures the rays of progress and became a total eclipse on March 4th.

Being iu sight of the promised land, flowing with milk and honey, we confidently expect them like the greedy pig to gorge themselves to such an extent that in the year 18S8 they will be ousted from power and be obliged to root iu hard prairie sod for leeks for another quarter of a century. In Kentucky they have complete power, and.thc state treasurer has stolen over a million dollars, and Kentucky is an average Democratic state. opolis. It was prophesied of old that "in the last days there should be no north, no south, no east, and no west." But when such a prophesy went forth Opolis was not thought of, for when Opolis knows no east andjiiowest then the milleninm will have come. The energetic east side is now longing, praying (by petition only), and striving to get the post-office moved from the west side.

In fact, they have imported a postmaster of the required Demo cratic tinge from the bosom of Missouri who has recently become an old settler in Kansas, and is willing to sacrifice himself as P. M. Having the inside track for news, we will state that Mr. Cleveland will look into the Opolis matter immediately after deciphering the names on the Pitts burg petition.

RODEDBUBG. Richaud Hennksy, Chairman. secretary. The Marcli Number of Harper's Maga zine contains the third instalment of Miss Woolson's new story, "East Angels," which promises to be one of the most re markable of American novels. The frontispiece is a sonnet of Words worth, set in a beautiful illustrttion by Alfred Parsons.

The illustrated articles are "The House of Orange," by Professor W. T. Hewett; UA Glimpse of Sonic Washington Homes," by E. W. Lightner; '-The Cape Ann Quarries," Ellen Day Hale; "In an Old Virginia Town," (Fredericksburg), by Frederick Daniel and "The Tricks and Manners of a Cat-bird," Olive Thome Miller, the illustrations of which arc from drawings by William Hamilton Gibson.

The third part of the anonymous novel. "At the Red Glove," is illustrated by C. S. Reinhart. This etory is remarkable for its quaint humor and its faithful pictures of French life in Switzerland.

John Fiske contributes the third and last of his scries of papers on American Political Ideas, entitled "Manifest Des tiny," in which he re-enforces Mr. Gladstone's recent significant utterance respecting the natural alliance of the English-speaking The incoming of a new and Democratic Administration gives special significance to a paperby the Hon John Gigelow on Jefferson's Financial Diary-an autograph MS. vol ume which has recently found its way into the library of the Hon Samuel J. Til-den. This volume contains a full account of Jefferson's expenditures from 1791 to 1803 including, therefore, three years of his first Presidential term.

One of the most interesting papers in the number is Dr. A. L. Ranney's, on the human brain, embracing the important results of recent investigation concerning the localization of cerebral functions. Mary E.

Wilkins's short story, "A Souvenir," is a marvellous bit of realism. Other stories are contributed by Constance Cary Harrison and the Rev. Canon March-ray. Among the poems, one entitled "The Succory," by a new writer Mar garet Deland is especially noticeable. George William Curtis, in the Editor's Eisy Cliair, treating our representatives at foreign courts, draws attention to the truly American character of Mr.

Lowell's Birmingham address. He also discusses Miss Oetavia Hill's work in London, Jeffer son's opinion of newspapers, and Dr. Parkman's new volume, "Montcalm and Wolfe." Mr. Charles Dudley Warner introduces a very amusing Drawer, with some very Interesting speculations concerning our coming President, who, uncoil" scions of his high destiny, has just attai ned his majority. The other editorial departments are, as usual, timely and BOK1T.
