verses are missed, changed, pared; famil

have disappeared, and in their place are

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo, June IA
terrible accident occurred near Re-
public on last Tuesday. Owing to
the scarcity of harvest hands, the
wife of John L. Sumner was driv-
ing the reaper in the wheat field,
when by some means she was
thrown from the seat to the ground
in front of the sickle, which man
gled her most horribly. Her right
arm was cut off below the elbow,
her left arm nearly severed above
the elbow, and the left side of her
breast horribly cut. Her INJURIES
were SO serious that, despite the at
tendance of surgeon death ensued
on the following night.
Mr.. John L. Sumner was at work
on another part Of the field, and un-
aware of the nature of the accident,
after considerable difficulty, cap
tured the team. He did not sus,
pect the disastrous consequences OF
the runaway until he saw the blood
on the sickle. Mrs. Sumner leaves
five children, one a small infant.

"No: : she couldn't come. She's

Did you ever have the rheuma'

"By the way. I have always

plenty good to wear to preaching
What sort of stuff is it ?"
"Colonel, | hope you will please
excuse me, as | must see to the
other guests" and Mrs. Hayes
moved away.
"Mr. President, said the colonel,
"have you seen the last issue of the
Swapping Turtle ?" The president
had not seen it. "Plll send you a

Just then Col. Donan and Adam

The colonel was led out and
bousted down the steps by Clark.
