4 Good joke.

Many. years ago when church organs
first came into use, a worthy old clergy
man was pastor Of /. church where they
had just purchased an organ Not far
from the church was large town pasture
where a great many cattle grazed, and
among them an enormous bull. One hot
Sabbath day in the summer, Mr. Bull
came up near the church, grazing, and
just As the Rev. Mr.. B-was in the
midst Of his sermon, boo woo-woo
went the bull.
The parson paused, looked up at the
singing seats, and with d grave face, he
SAID:

tune their instruments during services, it
annoys me very much.

he drew a little nearer the church.
The parson paused again, and addres-
sed the choir:
II really wish the musicians would
not tune up their instruments while | am
preaching.
The congregation Uttered for they
knew what the real cause of the distur-
bance was.
The parson went on again, and had
but just started good, when 'boo-woo-

THE TRIBUNE.
HSwa nan.Feels when Being scalped

sAaeorresponden of the Missouri Dem
.OcrGt write from Omaha stating that the
remains of some OF those who were mas
sacred by the Indians who threw a train
Oft the track and set it on fire had arrived
there, and on the same train was man
named William Thompson, a native OF
England, who turned out to be one OF the
telegraph repairers reported killed. He
attracted a great deal of attention from
the fact that he had been scalped He
appeared to be suffering horribly, and
was very weak from loss OF blood He
had received gaping wound in the neck,
and a bullet IN the muscle OF the right
arm. A physician attended to his wounds.
In a pail OF water was his scalp, about
nine inches in length and four in width,
somewhat resembling a drowned rat, as
1t floated, curled up on the water. His
statement was as follows.
About nine o'ciock Tuesday night,
myself and Eve others left Plum Creek
station, and started up the track en-
hand car to hunt up where the break in
the telegraph was. W hen we came to
where the break proved to be, we saw
some of the ties piled on the track, but
at the same moment Indians jumped up
from the grass all around and fired on US
We fired two or three shots i'll return, and
then as the Indians pressed on US we run
away. An Indian singled me out and
galloped up to me. After coming within
ten feet of me, he fired, the bullet enter
ing my right arm. Seeing me still run
ming he knocked me down with his gun.
He then stabbed me in the neck with his
knife, and then catching hold of my hair
he commenced saving and hacking AWAY
at my scalp. Though the pain was awful
and [ felt dizzy and sick, | knew enough
to keep quiet. After what seemed to
me half an hour, he gave the last finish
ing cut to the scalp ON my left temple. and
| just thought then that | should have
screamed my life out. | can't describe it
to you. | just felt as if the whole head
was jerked right off The Indian then
mounted and galloped away, but as he
went he dropped my scalp within few
feet of me, which | managed TO get and
vicinity or | might then have made my
escape. While lying down [ could hear
the Indians moving around whispering to
each other, and then shortly afterwards
placing Instructions on the track After
lying down about an hour and half, /
heard the low murmuring of the train "a
1t came tearing along, and L might have
been aole to flag it off had | dared. ="
The doctors IN Omaha were to endeaV-
or to set Oh Thompson scalp, and they
expressed themselves confident of being
able to doit well. As he was q strong
Man it was expected that he could recov-
er health and strength.

The court does not usually get angry, but
this time down came the foot, and dec
