would lie like sin as to the progress OF
the restless reaper. Mrs. Chevy be-
lieved it, though, implicitly, and grew
fonder of it every day. 1t was so nice
to hold it up to her ear and realize that
its little clatter was still alive, and then
to spring open the cap and find that il
was time to set about pairing the pota-
toes for dinner. 1t wasn't quite so nice,
though, when she had to wait for an
hour after every thing was dished up,
before Chevy came home and found
her temper red hot and dinner as cold
as poor relations rich uncle.
And showing her that his own watch
only marked high II did not help mat
tiers any. Every other time-piece in
town might prevaricate, but her own
little sweet cherub of a watch was right
all the time. Perhaps if she hadn't
missed the train by only two hours and
ten minutes the day she was going out
to spend the Sabbath with her mother,
while Chevy was away on his South
ern trip, she might have remained firm in
that opinion to the end.
Since then Chevy has instructed her

A Terrible Occurrence.

Col. VIM. M. Cravens, writing from
Waldron, gives us the following
account of one of the saddest affairs we
have ever been called upon to record
the killing of a father by fond son in
mistake for a wild turkey. Col. G.
says: sold Mr.. Tedrick and his son
were turkey-hunting down on Porteau
the other morning. The old man hid
himself between two large rocks and
went TO calling His son came up
within 125 yards, saw his fathers head
between the rocks, and thinking it was
turkey he fired with his rifle, hitting
the object aimed at. He deliberately
reloaded his rifle and went to the rocks
to get his turkey, when to his utter hor-
ror he found his dead father weltering
in his blood, his shot having taken effect
in the back of the head, the ball coming
out in the face. The son is crazed over
the sad occurrence, and the entire COM
manity is overshadowed with sadness.
Mr. Tedrick and son stood well in the
community and were clever people. ~

young fellow, with natural, quick,

Coming from the country, he was moved
uncontrollably by the misery and vice
which met him at every turn on the
crowded streets. The lad, like old
Robert Barrow, thought he heard voice
bidding him go out and compel those
people to come in. Many young men
hear such a voice in the beginning of
their ministry, but in the routine of
church management, the dulling
noises of their commonplace lives, it
dies out and is almost forgotten. How

The curls Of Mrs. Evers, OF Fort Gibson.
Indian Territory, have caused almost as seri-
Gus results az the celebrated Rape of the
Lock" that Pope chronicled, Mrs. Evers
had package containing two golden curls,
with which she proposed to adorn her head,
| forwarded to her, last October. by mail. Why
she wanted these curls is not stated, although
her propinquity to the wild blanket Indians
OF the Western plains might probably explain
! it. The curls were sent by mail az ordered, but
| never reached Fort Gibson or their owner
| Mrs. Evers was not disposed to allow this
matter to pass by quietly; she wrote to the
Postmaster General, complaining OF the lneffl-
cheney OF the malls and demanding her lost or
stolen curls. The Postmaster General
promised an investigation OF the mater at
once, and orders were sent over the country
ana 10 every village postmaster in the Union
TO look up the lost curls From that day to this,
the whole Postoffice Department has been In
whirl OF excitement over that lost hair. Mrs.
Evers grew excited and violent at the
delay, and sent daily plaintive postal cards to
Washington; there was not q curl In the coun-
try that would match her hair save those very
lost ones. Last week, just as the much abused
lady was about to bring suit for damages
against the government, the long-lost curls
were discovered pigeon holed In the Indianap-
oils postoffice. The report fails to narrate how
they got there, but there are good reasons for
believing that q romantic and sentimental
young man employed In the office at that
place encountered those curls while going
over the mail one day, fell in love with them
and misappropriated them, Economically
hoping that he might encounter their fair
owner some day, return them, and ask for
her hand instead. When he learned that
they belonged to a married woman, he recov-
cred from the attack, confessed his guilt and
returned the curls to the proper authorities,
and they were at once forwarded to the unfor-
tunate lady, who has been so long kept out Of
her property. If there is any moral to this |
little postof1ioe romance, it is that ladies
should not send their curls by mail, as the
desire of stealing female curls is as strong In
most masculine minds as the habit of misap-
umbrellas.

Mr.. F. Heiderhoff writes us letter in praise

the Letters from the People" and have only
two observations to make: /. Mr.. Heiderhoff
has heedlessly COMPOUNDED the utterances of
one OF our correspondents with our own, and
charges US with having ceaselessly assailed
Secretary Schurz on account of his nation
atty. We have done no such thing. We have
simply attacked Schurz for his brutal, arbitra-
~ and illegal raids upon the lumbermen Of the
gulf coast. II his agents committed these
wanton acts, the Secretary is the responsible
person. None but a brutal or incompetent
official would choose such agents. We at
tackled Schrz just as we would have attacked
a native-born American who in his position
had violated both the laws of the country and
OF humanity in dealing with our people. We
have not particle OF prejudice against him
On account of his nativity, and we have never
mentioned his nationality in discussing his
timber policy.

~ TRIPLE SHEET.

We publish this morning the letter of Mr..
Bermudes representing theconsolidated bond
holders, In whose favor Judge Monroe recent
ly rendered judgment, reterating thepropoeal
of compromise sr adjustment with the
city. The terms Of this compromise have
been frequently referred to in these columns
as worthy OF the attention and acceptance Of
our city administrators The treatment here
tofore accorded to this proposition is it
seems to us, quite unfortunate, considering the
present attitude Of the parties. 1t will be seen
that this proposal effectually disposes of the
charge against these bondholders Of seeking
10 impose crushing increase Of the burden Of
taxation on the city The annual levy which
II requires would not exceed $275, 600 TO meet
the accruing interest Oh these bonds, while the
past due liabilities, by reason Of the city's de-
fault, instead Of being made Immediately
exigible against the city, thereby adding
large sum to the tax levy, will be renewed
and extended by new bonds to mature In 1899,
and to bear interest.
This proposition has always seemed to US
fair and reasonable one, and we hope will en-
gage the serious consideration Of taxpayers.
