| Car Load of Horses Roasted to
kansas City Times.

For more than a month the Govern
ment has been purchasing cavalry horses
in Kansas City for use in the Cook ex-
petition against the Sioux and the
Cheyenne Indians. Only the best class
of horses were accepted, and tirst-class
price paid. The very cream of the horse
flesh in Western Missouri and Kansas
was selected and purchased. Afew days
ago a number of these fine, fat animals
were shipped westward over the Kansas
Pacific, destined for Cheyenne and the
military posts further north. The horses
Jared well, and were being rapidly borne
westward over the plains in cattle-cars at
the rate of at least fifteen miles an hour,
when the accident below described oc-

Horse station, a watering place on the

The alarm was given at once, and the
train stopped on the main track and an
attempt wa made to get the frantic and
suffering horses out of their fiery prison.
But it was found impossible. There was
no chute near o gangway plank down
which the horses could have been led.
TIE car soon became one mass of flames
and smoke. The cries and screams Of
the struggling animals are described as
narrowing and horrible in the extreme.
Finding it impossible to to extricate any
of the noble animals from their terrible
condition, the men in charge brought

at the sight Of the fire, she CRASHED her
teeth and gave a sullen growl. As soon
as he had made the discovery, he gave
the signal for pulling him out of the
cave. The people at the mouth of the
den, who had listened with painful
anxiety, hearing the growing of the
wolf, and surprising their friend to be in
the most imminent danger, drew him
forth with such celebrity that his shirt
was stripped over his head, and his body
much laeerated. After he had adjusted
his clothes, and loaded his gun with nine
buckshot, with a torch in one hand and
his musket in the other, he descended a
second time. He approached the vol

between her legs, she prepared to spring

ScHENcK's SEA WEED ToNIc.-In the atmosphere
experienced here during the summer msnths, the
lethargy produced by the heat takes away the desire
for wholesome food, and frequent Preparations re-
duce bodily energy, particularly those suffering from
the effects of debilitating diseases. In order to keep
a natural healthfui activity Of the system, VIC must
resort to artificial means. For this purpose schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic is very e~fectual. A few doses will
create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the
enervatcd body. For dyspepsia. it is Invaluable.
Many eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the drugs
which are generally employed for that purpose. The
Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally diferentfrom
such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive minerals or
acids; in fact it assists the regular operations Of ma
ture, and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its
nature SO much resembles the gastric juice that it Is
almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice
is the natural solvent which, in a healthy condition
of the body, causes thefood tobe digested ;andwhen
this juice is not excreted in sufficient quantities, in
digestion, with all its distressing symptoms, fol-
lows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of the
gastric Juice when the latter is deficient. schenck's

The kidnapping of Washington at New

It was while at these headquarters a
bold attempt vas made to capture WASH
ington. Clinton was very anxious toget
possession of his person, and Washing
ton received many letters warning him
of his danger. But with all the plans
that were laid, none seemed to be SO
easy of execution as the one that was
f.iled here by the patriotism of a young
lady, the daughter Of one Ettrick, who
protested to be G warm patriot, but those
who knew him best, looked ON him with
suspicion. This man and this spot were
selected to effect Washington's capture.
The plan proposed was to have a boat
ready, and a party of Tories secreted in
the wood near by when Washington
should beinyited todinner. His daugh-
ter overheard a conversation that exposed
this plot, and informed Washington Of
her suspicious, and begged him not to
accept the invitation of her father to
dinner. The dinner hour was to be late,
SO that it would be dark before the meal
was over. Then the seizure was to be
effected, and the captive borne off to the
bosom of the Hudson. The boat,
manned by strong rowers, would easily
have reached the English vessels below
West Point before Washington would be
missed. Instead Of declining the invita-
ton, he accepted it, but in the meantime
ordered a detachment of his hfeguard to
march to the place just at evening, and
present themselves at the door. While
Ettricx was engaged in conversation with
his distinguished guest, he heard theil
footsteps and the low command of theil
leader, and supposing them to be the de
detachment OF Tories, he rose, and lay,
ing his hand on Washington's shoulder

S-unnlementaI Declaration.

The Washington National HteUsqeacer
lately contained the following article in
relation to Charles Carroll, of Carroll
ton, the only survivor in 1926 of the men
who signed the Declaration of American
Independence:
In the year 1926, after all save one of
the band of patriots whose signatures
are borne on the Declaration of Indepen-
dence had descended to the tomb, and the
venerable Carroll alone remained among
the living, the government of the city Of
New York deputed a committee to wait
on the illustrious survivor and obtain
from him, for deposit in the public hall
of the city, a copy of the Declaration OF
ITS, graced and authenticated anew
with his sign manual. The aged patriot
yielded to the request, and affixed, with
his own hand, to a copy of that %instru-
ment, the grateful, solemn, and pious
supplemental Declaration which follows:
"sGrateful to Almighty God for the
blessings which, through Jesus Chsist
our Lord, he has conferred on my be
loved country in her emancipation, and
on myself in permitting me, under cir
cumstances of mercy, to live to the age
of eighty-one years, and to survive the
fftieth yearof American Independence,
and certify by my present signature my
appreciation of the Declaration of hide

of July, 1776, which l originally sub
