Sudden Death,

Last Saturday afternoon John Lund.
berg, q bachelor, was found dead in
his farm house in Falun township.
One OF his neighbors had missed him
from the premises for several days,
and at last his curiosity led him to in
vestiyate the non-appearance of Lund-
berg. On opening the door to his
house most offensive OdOr drove him
back. As soon as the room was aired
sufficiently, he went in and found the
owner lying upon the floor, dead and
decaying rapidly. 1t is supposed that
the deceased had dressed i'm the morn
ing. preparatory to tending the work
on his place and was about to leave
the house. when he fell dead from the
effect Of stroke of apoplexy. He
was found lying on the floor against
the door in an advanced state Of de-
composition. DIR. GROCER held an in
quest last Monday ana the body was
buried Immediately after i'm the Falun
cemetery. Mr.. Lundberg was a man
of considerable property, and was
highly respected by his ncighbOrs.

Drowned.

Poor Maggie Murphy must have
lived i'm u coy little home once, and
she had a good husband and u little son
who filled her cup Of happiness to the
brim. But she had just tasted of those
sweet peaceful joys of home, when the
cup was dashed from her lips. She
raised her hands again to drink, but
how changed the contents .! the cup.
Death called her loving husband first.
She then struggled hard to raise her
boy to be a man and take the fathers
place in the world. But when he was
just upon the eve Of manhood, he too
was chosen from among the living, At
the remOrseless beck OF death. Then
came woe to the widowed and mother
less woman. She tried to drown her
sorrow in liquor, and soon the habit Of
drinking was fastened upon her, and
she became known as q drunken wO-
man who came To Salina on periodical
sprces. Last Friday she came again
on a spree. Saturday morning she
filled herself up and wandered about
town, across the bridge and over to the
brewery. But just before arriving at
the latter place she fell by the road
side, too drunk to walk Some men
working at the brewery discovered her
a. they were going to dinner, and con-
Quoted her to the stalls on the Fair
ground, where they covered her with
u dress she was carrying in bundle,
closed the doors To protect her from the
cold, and went IL dinner. On their re-
turn they went To the stalls, but found
she had gone. On Sunday two young
men were rowing boat up the river,
when one Of them discovered the body
of q woman floating in the water. They
at once reported the fact To Coroner
GROCER, who summoned a jury and
proceeded TO the place where the body
was found. Upon drawing it from the
water il was identified by witnesses As
that of the woman whom they had
placed i'm the stalls. She was known
to others in town and had given her |
name as Maggie Murphy and Sarah
Burgess. Upon her person were found |
three phOtOgraphs-he husband, son,
and her sisters two children, -tOgeth- |
er with little money and some trink- |
cts. Nothing could be ascertained Of |
her relatives or where she lived. 1t is
supposed that Us soon AS the men left
her the had crawled out of the stalls |
and staggered of down the river bank |
back of the stalls, and being SO help |
less was drowned without AN apparent |
The body was buried ut the |
county poor farm OH Monday. 1t was |
indeed sad case. Her only fault was,
she was drunken woman.

The Missouri Pacific Extension.

We gave notice last week of the in-
tentiOn OF the Garrison party making
trip in carriages from Ottawa, in
Franklin county, to Salina, for the
purpose of examining the country in
reference to lis resources for business
and its topography, aud for the pur-
pose of acIuainting themselves with
the feeling of the people living Oh the
proposed route towards voting aid for
the extension of the Missouri Pacific.
This party arrived i'm jalina last Mon
day. 1t consisted of Oliver Garrison,
Vice-Presiient of the Missouri Pacific
Railway, and President of the st. Louis
and Arizona Railway; Melville &.
Day, attorney for the Missouri Pacific;
Mr.. Emerson, engineer and Mr.. Cav
anaugh. Col. Phillips left the party
little east of Council Grove, being com
PEELED to return home on accOant OF
serious illness. Mr.. Garrison was very
sorry to lose the Colonel from his
party, US the latter is probably more
posted upon the topography Of the sec
ton through which they were 10 pass
than any other man. Upon the arrival
OF the railroad party they were con-
Quoted to the Metropolitan Hotel,
where they were called upon by large
number of our leading business men.
The Mayor, in behalf Of the city, as
sisted by Ex-Mayor Radcliff and Mr..
Cavanaugh, presented our citizens to
the party. After the fOrmality of in
PRODUCTION q gen2rai. free-and-easy con-
versatiOn was engaged in, during
which Messrs. Garrison and Day said
that it was their intention to construct
the Missouri Pacific to Salina Just As
soon as possible. I'm answer to the
question AS to whether they found the
route As practicable for railroad con-
structiOn As they expected, they stated
that upon the whole they did-althOugh
there was about Is miles of rugged
country east of Council Grove which
would he very difficult to pass through.
They proposed to have their engineer
return over the same line and seek for
a better route through this rugged pcr-
ton, and he started for that purpose
Monday night. They gave rs the dis
lance from Saiina TO Ottawa I4j miles.
whereas they expected to find il only
about l25 miles. They stated that they
should expect Saline county to vote
them $1,000 mile, which would
amount To something over $50, 900 as
the proposition to bc considered by our
county. They expect to let our people
know definitely within two or three
weeks just what they will do and ex-
pect us to do. Mr.. Garrison regarded
the country between this city and
Council Grove rs the finest he had ever
seen. He regarded Salina as q splen.
did point, with fine future before il.
He also paid fine tribute to its peo-
pie. The party made the statement
