A Strange Man in Jim Kelly's
House-He Drives the Women
Out of Doors.

All day yesterday there was an unkno~n
man lettering about the house OF James
Kelly, who keeps the grocery at the
Lamine street crossing. He had no apPa-
rent object in watching the building, and
the inmates thereof were very much dis
turbed by his peculiar and mysterious
movements. Toward nightfall he suddenly
rushed into the back yard and then into
the kitchen, drove the women folks out,
and then committed an indecency. He
was in no hurry to leave, and time Was
afforded the women TO summon Mr.. Kelly
and Officer Gosssge. who had great diff

the calaboose tor the purpose Of seeing the
eccentric gentlemen. He was found lying
at full length in his cell, and could not be
aroused. The reporter poked him through

whereupon the following conversation
ensued:
"Hellow

The Late Clifton Wood.

Any one now approaching the beautiful
cemetery of SedaIia, which sits on the
green prairie, little to the northeast OF
the city, cannot fail to observe chaste
marble shaft shooting up amid the foliage
that clusters around the white tombs of the
dead. This is the monument erected recent
ly to the memory of our late fellow-towns-
man, Clifton Wood, who was President Of
the Citizens National Bank.
The situation is indeed lovely one and
last evening as BAzoo reporter approach
ed the haIlowed spot, as the sun was sink
ing from sight and 'the lowing herd, wound
slowly DER the lea" he felt sentimental and
poetical in the soft twilight, and the sweet
serenity of the sacred spot. Behind him on
the plain were the spires and buildings of
the busy town, where men were cOntending
and wrangling, for money, place and power;
jealous, anxious, worried, and weary of
the hard strife, while directly before him
was the quiet little city of the dead, where
the trees rustled softly, and the very birds
hu~hed the wiIdness Of their evening song.
Passing among the graves, several Of which
were loaded with flowers, placed there by
tender hands, and watered by loving ewes,
the BAzco reporter approached the monu-
ment erected TO the late Mr. Wood. 1t is
aplain, cha-te, and yet rich looking struct-
ure, and is said 10 be the finest in this part
of the country. At the. top is the repre-
sentation Of an urn, with drapery and tas-
sells, falling down the shaft A cross and
crown is also cut on the column, in a very
artistic manner The p!o; of ground has
been newly planted and green turf and
flowers will soon spring up about this me-
mento Of the honored dead, which bears
this inscription:

attention" cried out the director.
The artist seized a huge brush.
At the signal the orchestral band
struck up clashing, maddeningly
nervous waltz.
As the first note was struck the
artist dashed a mass of yellow. upon
the upper part of the canvas. Then a
hit OF blue, then white, a dash of
purple shadow, and then, with quick
twirl of a clean brush, dark blue sea
is dashed in against the horizon.
Two minutes gone.
The waltz goes on faster and faster.
The brush keeps time. A huge rock
is sketched in with burnt sienna and
black. 4 lighthouse with vermilion
range light is dropped upon the top
of the rock.
Clash, crash, one, two. three, a boat
under full sail is thrown into the dim
distance. Clash, crash, one, two,
three, and another boat is dashed in.
Light upon the waters is thrown in
with a free steady hand. A huge
brush then carefully blends the ed ge
of the masses, and. with a profound
bow the artist turns to a cheering
audience, gratifed that he is through
on time.
And the wonder is that the picture
is startling good in its broad effect. 1t
Is strong and clear. The colors are
good, and not muddily mixed. 1t was
as good novelty as ever saw at any
show. and it beats all how it amuses
the French people.
