Theodore Tilton is probably the
most abominable excretion in the
United States, and the public will
be hardly surprised 70 read the fol-
lowing undoubtedly true account Of
his latest msrtyrdom
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The sleep
ing car "Plattsburg" was attached
to the Atlantic express train, which
was due in the Grand Central depot
at 6 as o'clock this morning. At
Albany, at about 2 o'clock in the
night, q man of about middle age
entered as though expecting to meet
somebody. His entrance disturbed
no one, and evidently he had not
been looked for at Albany. He
seemed pleased by the thought, as
though anticipating the surprise of
q person whom he sought. He ad-
vanced down the aisle between the
closed curtains and then returned to
the end of the car, and addressing
Charles Bell, the negro porter, said :
"Can you tell me in which berth
Mrs. Wood, my wife, isl" eyes,
sir, No. 2, top berth, sir" replied
the unsuspecting porter.
Mr.. Wood went eagerly to No. 2
and drew aside tho curtains. His
eyes met q mans startled gaze, and
by the mans side was q woman,
whose face he could not see. He
returned to the porter, whose &C

the top berlh, but the lady was not
there, although some of her clothes
were. Thea Mr.. Wood looked into

Mr.. Wood jumped back Is If he

he said something very mad-like to
Mr.. Tilton, aud struck him; I did
not see exactly WheI ., but think it
was on the nose. Then there was Q
SOFT OF SCRAMBLE,
and I heard the lady tell Wood to

behind the curtain. and went into
the smoking car. Mr.. Wood tried
to follow him, but Mes. Wood,
think, held on to him. Some of the
passengers must have been woke
up, but didn't notice in the excite
ment whether any Of them looked
out. Soon the brakeman came in
and asked fer Mr.. TiitOn's things,
and I packed them up and sent them
to him. Mrs. Wood
SAT Up ALL THE REST OF THE WAY,
and az soon as the train got into the

Statistics That are Worth Keeping.
We find the following in the Eureea
Herald Of September Z:
To the officers and members OF the Eu-
rex board of trade:
Your committee on statistics alter hav-
ing eXamic ed the agricultural reporss Of
1873 for Greenwood county. and c0mpar-
ed it with the report Of Lyon county for
the same year, beg leave to make the fol-
lowing report, showing the difference in
the pl1ce OF agricultural products at this
point and at the railroad. We have also
made, as we believe, a correct estimate of
the amount of money paid out by our
merchants for freight on goods frem the
railroad less the amount it would cost
them here IL we had railroad transporta-
ton direct to this place, all Of which
must be paid by the consumer, We give
below the amount o! each kind of grain
raised in 1915, its price here, its price at
the railroad, the difference in price be-
tween the two places, and the amount
lost to the people OF this county by not
having q railroad.

It is curious fact that during the
last two years, Notwithstanding the
large number of rattlesnakes that in
fest this country, not a person has died
from snake bite, while, during the
same time, three have died from the
effect of skunk bites. The bite of a
skunk is certain death. There is no
known remedy for it. Soon after be-
ing bitten, the victim is taken with
hydrophobia in its severest form, and
death is the only relief. Whether all
skunks have the hydrophobia, or only
bite when they do, is question to be
solved.-Hays City Sentinel.

It seems almost incredible that in
this free country, and in a day of
Democratic Reform, a man could
be found anywhere in this land of
boasted Freedom, to give utterance
to such sentiments as the folio wing,
by M. w. Gray, TiIden leader at
Aiken, South Carolina, and yet the
speech is vouched for:
My friends, I tell you there are
centain4 men you must put out of
the wsy.-men you must kill. These
men are. Chamberlain, Elliot, Lee,
SpSfWick, and others. These men
must be Killed, for they are the
leaders of the negroes. and if you
get rid Of them, we can carry
things as we want them. United
States troops have been sent down
here to carry the election for the
Radicals, but we don't fear them,
do we? lCries, "No." "Nowl We
met them on the field once, and we
are ready to meet them again.

And now let me tell yOu what to

will go to Columbia in force, and
if not allowed to take our seats, we
will surround the State House and
tear it down, and chow them we
will rule. What say you, men
