The confidence man is still abroad in
the land, and the wall of his victims
goes up from divers points along the
line of his nefarious operations. The
Commonwealth of Thursday gave the fol
lowing account of a lively episode on
the Santa Fe road Wednesday:
The passengers on the Santa Fee train
from Kansas City yesterday were fur
nished with excitement as well as COM
Portable accommodations in the cars.
An old gentleman who was passenger,
was approached by stranger who soon
made his acquaintance and stated that
he was a merchant of Topeka, returning
from an eastern business trip. 1t was
not long before the sharper had won his
way into the good graces of the granger
appearing old man. At the proper time
n second man came into the car and per-
sonating the agent of the road, told No
that he must pay the freight on the
goods then in the depot, or they would
not be forwarded. 1t was the old bond
game and very neatly played. No.
presented gold bond to the agent"
who could not change it, and the
old man was then appealed to. In
due time No. l had 1925 of his
money, and the old man had a bogus
gold bond, which be thought was worth
q 900. Shortly after, and when the
train was about half way between here
and Lawrence, the confidence man left
the car and did not return The old man
began to suspect something, and soon
told one and another of the passengers,
between sobs, for he cried bitterly. The
gentlemen were all indignant, and in a
feY minutes the conductor had been seen
and induced to stop the train and back
up, in the hope of overtaking the swind-
Ter. This was done, and when the train
had been run several miles back, the
eager watchers were rewarded with a
sight of man walking along the track
and carrying a small valise. Several
men had revolvers and they were soon
brought out, while others armed them
selves with clubs. There were near
ly fifty men running toward the
one lone individual who was
slowly plOdding along. 1t
did not require much time to Overtake
him and lie was rudely handled, being
forcibly dragged back TO the cars. Sher-
if Clarke, of Douglas county, had hold
of one arm, and another man grasped
the other, while the mob abused him
without sparing time to choose elegant
language. The man wanted to know
what all the row was about, but received
no satisfactory answer. He was taken
to the car and confronted by the man
who had been swindled, when, to their
surprise, he said the prisoner was not the
man who had perpetrated the outrage.
He was released, and probably there has
not been a madden man in that vicinity
than he WAS. The indignation was all
on his side now, and the would be aveng-
ers looked rather sheepish. Meantime,
the confidence man had jumped off the
train and made his escape

4 Ride.

Not on the cars; not in a coach or
hack; but in an open buggy. It was a
one-horse mail carriage. The ride was
over the high prairie from Humboldt to
Elsinore. Where is that? 1t is on the
headwaters of Big creek, which empties
into the Neosho few miles below Cha
mute Elsinore is a townless post office
fifteen miles east of Humboldt, near the
railless railroad from Fit. Scott. The
post Office is kept in a very small coun-
try store.
But to the ride. Well, at one O'Clock
p. III. last Tuesday we mounted the seat
beside the Jehu of the above described
vehicle, and started on lame trOt across
the prairie. The wind blew straight
across our way. The dust flew all
around our heads and whirled into ouI
ears, eyes, nose and mouth. We were
Obliged to eat dirt The country down
this way is dry, very. l tried to hide be

the wind blew so that it took all my ma

that rattling, implanted U. S. wagon tc
the ground. Once or twice it seemed a
though the rice we had ON board would
be unceremoniusly spilled out on the
prairie, but the mail must go, and JOIN
drove furiOusly; so we reached our DIES
tination little after three O'Clock, badly
sun-burned and dusty as a trooper.
We passed over good country, which
is destined ere long to be dotted over will
farms and cattle. An unfortunate lant
quarrel between the people and railroad!
prevents the proper development of thii
country. We saw some fine orchards
and nice fields of wheat, but the most o
the settlers are "squattcrs," waiting TO
the decision of the land question. Thei
houses are small and their farms unfenC
ed We saw two or three sod houses.
Elsinor is surrounded by good farm

Happiness is the absence of pain or

there is disease. A pain in the lower
portion of the body indicates a disOr-

means disease, and requires attention
