The sheriff of Wabsunsee county brought
to this city, yesterday, a German by the
name of Knrpp, who is charged with incest,
and who had his preliminary examination
at Alma and was bound over in the sum of
$1,000 to appear at the next regular term Of
court, and there being no place to secure him,
he was brought to this city for safe keeping.
Kurpp lives four miles nth of Alma,
where he has good fern. His family con-
sists of wife and two daughters, one Of
whom is sixteen and the other fourteen ears
of age. He was arrested on complaint of his
wife, who harged him with this mot beast

A Commonwealth representative visited the
man IN The al last evening, and In cOnver

charge was "A trunped up affair, and that IL
had originated a in a quarrel bet ~ cen his wife
and himself last winter. BIT ne Is very ner
vous about II and seems anxious To secure "A
change OF venue before his trial takes place,
Another circumstance which seems 10 con-
firm the suspicion under which he rests, is
that he does not want his oldest daughter to
appear at the tr al, but wants his younger
one TO be called as witness. Altogether
Eis case is a bad look NJ one, and should the
evidence confirm the suspicion, he should be
dealt with to the full extent of the law.

ANoyel WAY to Cure Cont

Several articles and letters have been
printed in the German papers of late laud-
ing the efficacy Of the sting of the common
bee as cure for gout. Here is one of
the latest OF these communications, which
appeared only few days ago in the Augs-
burg Etening Gdaette: 81 was lying in
bed" says the writer, suffering from q
severe attack of gout, accompanied with
violent pains in my left foot, when
chanced TO read in newspaper an article
describing how gout may be cured by the
sting of bees. at once determined 10 try
the remedy, and soon 5on;rived a small
box by means of which a captured bee
could be applied to the afflicted part.
then let my foot be stung by three bees in
succession, each bee leaving his sting be
hind in my flesh. After a few minutes
these s,ings we're extracted and when the
pain caused By them had subsided, l found
that the gouty pain had also left me. Oa

4 Fatal Accident.


A sad accident occurred near the wster
tank, three miles west of town, sunday af-
ternoon last, in which the little son of VAL
ter Scott was killed and his wife badlJ in
jured. Mr. Scott and f,miiy are from Me.
PhersDn county, and wsre on their way to
Colorado Al the time of the accident, Mr..
Scott was walking on the railroad near the
wagon trail his family was in a wagon near
by, drawn by a span of mules. In travelling
along, one of the lines got caught on the end
of the wagon tongue, and the boy got on the
tongue to take ii OIL. 1t is supposed that This
scared the muI' :, as they started to run. The
little fellow held on to the tongue until they
had run perhaps hundred ysrds, when he
fell off. and the wagon passed over his
breast, killing h IN almost instantly. 1t is
thought hat Mrs. Scott got mold OF the lines,
and in trying to stop the tteaIn, was thrown
cut and run oyer. She Is very badly injured
with but little chances for recovery. The
boy Was buried in our cemetery, Monday.
