Sunday morning a stock train ar
rived at Emporis junction over the A,
S. & F. road, laden with Texas steers
which were so crowded into the cars and
had gone so long without being fed or
watered that two or more were down in
almost every car, and in one car every
steer was down and two of them being
dead it became necessary to unload them
and the cattle were so weak that they
could scarcely walk down the gangway
into the yard. We are informed that this
is an ordinary occurrence and that in
experienced shippers, with a view to
saving the expense of unloading and
feeding, very commonly practice this in
humanity IN the transportation of stock
If there is method of reaching tins of
tense and of prohibiting such unwar
ranted cruelty TO animals there is ampl,
scope for the exercise of the law in thi.
matter

The Details of a Shocking Disaster on
Plumb Creek.
The farm of John Sled, on Plumb
creek, about four miles northwest of
Emporia, was the scene on last Saturday
of one of the most affective occurrences
that has ever happened in the history of
Lyon county. The particulars of the
melancholy event are as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs Sled had been to En-
poria, TO do their Saturdays trading, and
started home soon after dinner, reaching
their residence at about three O'Clock.
Upon arriving, Mrs. Sled laid her baby,
about one year old, on the bed, and pro-
ceeded TO make a fire TO prepare supper.
In doing so, she thoughtlessly left some
matches lying where an older child,
aged about three years, could get posses
sion of them, which it did, during the
absence of the mother, who
went to the well for some
water, and upon her return she found
the house almost enveloped in flames,
the fury of which only abated after the
building, with all its contents, including
the helpless infant, had been devoured
by the remorseless element. The older
child had run out of the house after set
ting fire to it by careless handling OF
the matches, and was saved. The grief
of the stricken parents was indeed touch.

and used differently from any other soap

thousands of women from Nova Scotia

this is done by using Dobbins' Electric
