THIS week has been full of delights for
tue small fry released from school for the
holiday vacation. On Monday morning
they were thrown into spasms of admira-
ton by the appearance on the streets of
the nutshell coach of Tom Thumb, with
its tiny steeds and driver in miniature;
the climax of pleasure being reached by
the funny performances Of the quartette
of little celebrities, in the afternoon and
evening, at the Opera House. Then
came the bright anticipations for Christ
mas, and their realization on the morning
of that day, in pelethoric stockings and
presents without number Cake, and
candy, and nuts, and the bountiful
Christmas dinner, and fun unlimited,
made the holiday time one of supreme
enjoyment to the "bairns." Let us be
thankful that it takes so little to fill the
children's cup Of happiness.

CHRISTMAS PREsENT-If anybody
should happen to notice the quill driver
Of this concern wearing particularly
fine and tasteful silk hat and elegant kid
gloves, they may take it rs a sign that
he has bad Christmas present. On
Christmas morning, while seated in the
sanctum, plunging into copy with all his
might and main, the writer hereof WAS
surprised by the entrance Of the whole
office force, at their head Mr.. w. d.
Mathews, chief of the news department,
who, in neat little speech, made over
into his possession the aforesaid tile and
gloves
Taken thus at disadvantage, and nat
urally dif1idcnt-there, none of your
blinking and snickering!-the recipient
made an awkward acknowledgement,
which did not half represent the gratifi
cation he felt for the tribute Of respect and
esteem. No office in Iowa has better or
more faithful corps OF employees than the
BULLETIN, and We are proud Of their
good will and confidence.

most diabolical series of murders ever com
mitted has recently been uuearthed 10 Kan
sas. \ family named Bender. consisting
of two men and their wives, have killed no
less than twelve persons within period of
few months. The corpses of the victims
have been discovered buried in a garden
attached to the house in which the murders
were committed-a solitary building on the
prairie, sort Of a hcstelry The skulls Ct
all the victims we're smashed in by blows

of tic female Blenders pretended to possess
clairvoyant powers, and the whole family
were spiItualists. The murders are sup

pose of robbery. The fiends had left the
country before the corpses were found, but
pursuit is being made and if the murders
are caught justice will be melted out to
them without form of law.
