Recently mound was excavated
on the farm of Mr.. Benbow, five
miles from Rutledge. A canal some
six feet wide was dug from the outer
base to the center, distance of about
forty feet, and some twelve feet at
the center. Nothing was discovered
to tell who, or what race of people,
were buried there, nor the date of
their burial, but it must have been a
long time ago, inasmuch as chest
nut tree stood on the very top of the
mound, sixty five years ago, that meas
ured nearly six feet in diameter. We
found numerous human bones and
teeth under layers Of sort of &C.
mented crust all the way through the
whole distance, which dissolved into
dust soon after being dug up. Many
people believe it 10 have been an
ancient burial place for Indians, but
they never possessed tools TO execute
the fine carvings upon the hardest
rock that have been plowed in the

A DANgEROUS PRACTICE.

During the past week the news
papers of the upper end Of the Com
stock were filled with lengthy &C
counts of q sudden death, the victim
being a young man nineteen and a
half years of age, and the only son
of a widow. About eight months
ago he was HI, when his mother
called in physician who prescribed
so successfully that in few days
he had entirely recovered. Like
many a prudent housewife the Wild
ow carefully preserved the vial the
contents of which had brought about
such good results. Last Friday the
lad was again taken sick. The
good woman thereupon applied the
ordinary household remedies, which
she repeated on Saturday. On Sun
day, finding him no better and con-
GLIDING that the symptoms were the
same as those Of the disease nantes
ted last year, she went TO drug
store and had the old prescription
prepared. Unfortunately, the medi-
cine contained a large quantity of
morphine-of which fact the mother
being unaware, she gave an over
dose, and the young mans death
followed speedily.
The fearful blow which such an
happening gave to the unfortunate
mother can be better imagined than
but although it is the part
OF charity, under the circumstances.
to dwell lightly on the almost crimi-
nal carelessness of the parties more
interested, it IS the
duty of the press to warn the public
against a repetition OF it. Let the
dangerous practice Of renewing old
prescriptions be put stop TOBY
or legislative enactment,
IL necessary. The conditions under
which a particular medicine should
be taken are so various that none
but an able physician should be
trusted to decide upon them. Death
turks in many a remedy which,
administered, saves life.

A RUDE AWAKENING.

The people of Carson. DESTROYS of
bringing water to their "City of the
Dead, induced company ofamateur
actors TO give some performances, the
resulting coin to be applied thereto.
These taking place in the city where
the amateurs "move, live and have
their being" and the indulgence usual
in such cases having been extended
to them, together with reasonable
number of Carson dollars, the men,
bers of the troupe became possessed
of the idea that each and every one
of them was an hitherto neglected
genius, sort of Goodwin, or, per-
haps, Lawrence Barrett, or an Olive
Logan, and they resolved to seek
greater appreciation in wider fields,
before more numerous audiences, en-
tertaining, in their heart of hearts"
no possible doubt but that they would
"carry the house by Storm" wherever
they appeared, and that the entire
press of the country would TEEN
with their praise as they proceeded
on their triumphal march to the At
lantic centers of wealth and refine
ment. They came to Virginia, but,
alas! their dreams of future fame
we're rudely dispelled. Instead of
being greeted by enthusiastic audi
ences they were met by an array OF
scantily occupied benches, which, on
the second appearance of the extra
ordinarily talented, etc. troupe, or
club, or what-you- call'ems, evinced
an even more alarming degree OF
n-appreciation by still greater
degree of emptiness. A consulta-
ton with their business manager re-
vealed the astounding fact that they
had, besides, lost $240, their two
evenings performances having de-
pleted their fund to just that extent
Disguised beyond expression, they
sorrowfully wendell their way home
ward, "sadder but wiser men" (and

WESTERNS Us. EIrII.pozERs.


The Westerns, OF Topeka, came on the
noon train Saturday and were received by a
proper committee and conveyed in buses to
the Occidental where they had dinner, after
which the two clubs repaired to the Fair
Grounds, where were abont three hundred
ladies and gentlemen in waiting to see the
game. After few preliminarics the game
commenced, the Westerns to the bat. The
first inning they made two scores before
Mr.. Burlingame. the umpire called out. The
Bulldozcrs got whitewashed the first time.
but were on deck the second time making for
themselves a good record. but the Westerns
proved too much for them. and at the end Of
the seventh inning they were compelled TO
stop the game on account of the lateness Of
the hour, the Westerns having beaten the
Bulldozers nearly four TO one. The best Of
feeling prevailed throughout the game among
the members of the two clubs. and our
Wichita boys were glad Of the pleasure of
meeting and playing with the boys from the
capital, every member of which is gentle
man. and they hope soon 10 meet them on
their own grounds aud give them another
tilt. And we wish TO say right here. in our
Judgment, for pure, unadulterated. and unbi-
ascd umpring, commend us TO Ward Burlin-
game. He is just that Kind of man. In
order that no point should escape his notice
he worked harder than any other man on the
grounds. and we think our boys are perfectly
satisfied with his decisions. We might offer
some criticisms or suggestions to our club,
but we will leave that for others. and say,
upon the whole those who witnessed the
game were well pleased and highly entertain
ed. and the Wichita people are proud of their
club-the Bulldoz,rs. The names Of the

CUT TO PIECES.

Many of our readers will remember Alvah
II. Whitcomb, an abstract agent who lived in
Wichita four years ago, and who succeeded
in having Sedgwick county buy his books OF
patent abstracts of title. He was young
man with young wife. After he got
through with this county he went to Reno,
after which we lost sight of him. Last Mon.
day week he was disemboweled at Urbana,
Illinois, by his partner, one Capt. J. NJ. Ira
cy, who was engaged with him in the alb
stract business. Tracy cut Whitcomb in the
abdomen SO that his bowels hung out, the
knife being turned round and round, cutting
him all to pieces internally. Another stab
entered higher up near the breast bone.
WhitcOmb made dying declaration by which
it appeared the two had terrible fight in
Tracy's Office. When the officer arrived
Whitcomb had Tracy down and was pound
ing him, but when Whitcomb was told that
his bowels were all cut to pieces and hung
out, he commenced screaming. Tracy is a
justice of the peace. Whitcomb, while here
was very high headed. His wife was in
Kansas ut the time Of the horrible ARRAY. OF
course he lived but short time.
