Mistaken In the Box.

DIR. VI. b. Wesson, superintendent of the
Missouri Pacific hospital, made discovery
yesterday, that surprised him not little
Last summer he had drop boxes, for the re-
ception of the daily papers of the city,
placed in position at the hospital groun IS
-one at the side gate, on Broadway, and
another at the main entrance, on Hancock
street. Both were provided with locks
but the latter one is the only one that has
been used since last October.
Yesterday afternoon MIR. Wesson hap.

cluded to open it, when he found, ION de-

The writers had evidently mistaken the
''paper box" for one of Uncle Sans, and
they may have long since ceased to abuse

SUING FOR A DIVORCE.
Boston Suing Her Husband
for Divorce.
Chicago Tribune Special.

Chicago Tribune Special.
4 divorce suit was begun to-day which
is attracting much attention throughout
New England. The libellant is the widow
of Mai. Chas. q. Rogers, former prOprie-
tor of the Boston Journal, who twelve
wears ago married the Rev William Cum
mings, an English clergyman, who had
been employed as a private tutor to the
Younger portion of the Rogers family for
some time before the death OF its recog-
nized head, Maj. Rogers. After the death
of Maj. Rogers, MIR. Cummings was re-
tanned i'm the same capacity, the outcome
OF the arrangement being the marriage of
Mrs Rogers to Mr.. Cummings Just one
year and twenty three days from the day
of Mai. Rogers decease. This marriage at
the time attracted great attention in the
social circle in which the lady moved, and
caused no end of society talk and gossip
among the people of Back Bay. BY the
will Of Mai. Rogers, Mr.. Charles L. Cot
ting, agent for the fifty associates, and the
late Hon. Harvey Jewell were appointed
trustees of the estate, which was estimat-
Ell at II. 100000. Two hundred thousand
dollars each was bequeathed to the four
children, 100000 to the widow, Mrs. Rog-
ers, and the balance, S20O, 700, was held in
trust. Immediately after the marriage the
couple went abroad and remained a year,
then returning to Boston and the even
tenor of everyday lite, Mrs. Cummings
settled upon her husband large amount
OF money and property, consisting OF va
rious parcels of real estate, government Sc
curities, mining stock, etc. Shortly after
this, it is said, he became very extrava-
CANT in his expenditures, more 50 than
when in Europe. where it is also said he
squandered princely sums at the gambling
table and in riotous living, and also be-
coming an habitual drinker. 1t is further
said that he was ami has been since more
familiar with the opposite sex than his POI
sition as married man would warrant.
The primary object of Mrs. Cummings
appears to be divorce for drunkenness,
adultery and abuse secondary one 10
restrain her husband from squanderirg
her property. Genl Butler appears for
the respondent, and he devoted his ener-
gies today to questioning witnesses for the
libellant as to their knowledge of drunken
ness and its various degrees. The case
will probably last some DAYS.

The Missouri Pacific Extension.

The progress made by the Missouri Pa
cific extension may be summed up thus
Early i'm June of last year the survey OF
the line was begun, and in July the con-
tracts for surveying were let and the work
was commenced. On the 10Th of last
April the road was completed from Hia-
watha, Kansas, to junction with the Tn
ion Pacific, at House.. mile and a half
west of Papilion, and eighteen and hall
miles from Omaha, the distance from Hia-
watha to the Union Pacific being l09
miles. Mixed trains began running to and
from Omaha on the oath of April. and
have from the start been doing an excellent
business. There yet remains to be com
pleted a gap of SO miles between Hiawa,ha
and Atchison, and this will be finished
next week. Through mixed trains will
then be run between Omaha and ST. Louis,
and about July lst through passenger
trains, tirst-class in every respect, will be
put on. From Atchison the line passes
through the counties of Aichison and
Brown, Kansas and Richardson, Nemaha
Otoe, Cass and Sarpy, and Nebraska.

Oh, so SICK!
A Poodle Dog the Cause Of a
Sedalia Lover Forsaking
His Sweetheart.

The custom that some Young women
have of kissing poodle dogs is the means
of driving MANY Young men 10 dissipation.
One evening last week, a young man
walked into the Garrison house bar-room,
and asked for drink Of raw whisky, with
perfumerv in il. He had a wild look in
his eve, and the bartender set out the
whisky. and asked what kind OF perfumerv
he wanted in il. He said, Anything
Put in some bitters, little kerosene.
squeeze an onion over il, and rub the edge
of the glass with some asafe;ida. Ban ~
and he spit out some imaginary bad tasting
stuff. The bartender put in several bad
tasting things, and gave the glass TO the
Door Young man, and he swallowed il and
asked for Limburger cheese. The bar
tender gave him piece of an old over
shoe 10 chew, and he seemed relieved, and
after he had become calm he told the bar
tender what was the trouble. He had
been calling on his girl, and she owned a
poodle. All the evening she would
kiss that dog on the nose every
few minutes. and when he got
ready TO come away she threw her arms
around his neck and they INDUCED in a
kiss that under ordinary circumstances
would have pulled the filling out OF his
teeth, but he said il tasted doggy and al
most made him sick. He tried TO get
away, but she chung TO him, and again she
put her lips TO his, and he felt as though
he should die, and he got away after
a while and rushed for the nearest saloon,
where he drowned his sorrow and deg
hair i'm the flowing bowl. He said every
time she kissed that dog he felt like the
girl that ate tomatoes the first time. The
thought of kissing that dogs nose, that
had been i'm so MANY places of disrepute
smelling OF old bones in alleys and hunting
dirty things in ont OF the way places, was
too much, and he wept and asked for an
other drink. The bartender tried 10 brace
him up by telling him that lie would feel
better i'm the morning, and that he should
not let small dog come between him and
bliss. He said he didn't want any more
bliss. and he started for home with his
hand on his stomach, swearing eternal
vengeance on all dogs.

NICE LITTLE STORY.
A Meeting of Old Lovers at the
Betrothal of Their Children.

A Chicago weekly publication called
the Champion is responsible for the follow
ing concerning one of the fair daughters
of ST. Louis:
While Miss Carte Hughes, of st. Louis.
was attending a private school in Hart
ford, about three years ago, she met Henry
Lewis, a young man somewhat her senior.
Each made upon the other that impression
which is TO an out-and-out love as a buckle
berry is to peach, a nod of greeting 10 a
bow of alteration, or a thimbleful of lem
onade to a demijohn of applejack. Never
theless, the acquaintance was good thing
in its way, for when Lewis saw the name
of Miss Hughes upon hotel register at
Bethlehem, y. H., last August, he has
tened to find her. In a day or SO the two
got to passing their evenings together on
the hotel piazza, and they gave up a
good deal of their share OF the
daylight To rambles up and
down the mountain paths of
the neighborhood. Upon the young wo-
mans return 10 St. Louis, she told her
mother all about it, like a nice girl, and
the mother, having obtained satisfactory
proof of the Young mans excellence, con
sented 10 the marriage. Recently. Mr..
Lewis, accompanied by his mother, ar
rived AT st. Louis from New York and Wis
tied the brides house. As the two moth
ers and the young folks were conversing,
Mr. Hughes, senior, entered the room. To
the surprise of the other three, Mr.. Hughes
stopped short as soon as his eyes fell upon
Mrs Lewis, and she, in turn, exhibited
considerable agitation. What can be the
matter ," GLOW now? ?" and "Do You know
each other ?" were some of the questions
asked by the spectators OF the tableau,
which ended in burst of laughte and a
hearty handshaking on the part of the ac-
tors. In brief, Mr.. Hughes discovered in
Mrs. Lewis sweetheart of thirty years
ago. They had quarrelled and he had
gone west, and neither had heard OF the
other until the meeting on the eve Of their
children's marriage.

North Carolina Hospitality.
Ton, n. c., Star, Nav IL

Wilmington, n. c., Star, May IL.
A gentleman of this city, a lawyer, who
had occasion to make recent trip into an
adjoining county, was very much I'M
pressed with the Astounding hospitality of
the farmers. He said to us that he be-
lieved the farmers of North Carolina were
the most hOspitable people in all this land.
Our reply was that We could take horse
and buggy at Elizabeth City and travel TO
Stokes county without paying dime for
lodging or midday meals, and offer to pay
each day. We do not know how it is in
other states, but We do know the hospitali
ty OF the North Carolinians living
i'm the country is unstinted and generous.
We hope the time will never come when
the hospitality that has always distin-
guished the people of North Carolina will
become less Astounding and generous. We
do not care for ''the elegant hospitality" OF
which people boast so much as We do for
hearty, spontaneous, warm hospitality
that welcomes the coming guest.

Kissing Dogs

We fear tho article VIC published In
regard to girls who kiss dogs has
been taken wrong by some. We
have a delicately. scented notc-not
scented like dog, however--from a
Chicago girl, who is indignant. She
says she had rather kiss dog any
time than man. That 10 all right.
Il Is only q matter Of taste. IL the
man she refers to smells like a dog,
and has Heas, and his eyes run, aud
he licks himself instead Of washing
we don't blame her. OF course she
knows mvre about him than we do.
but IL a nice, clean man should come
her way, man with the modern im-
provements, who conld kiss back,
which dog can't, we will bet she
would drop her dog like q hot potato
and freeze to the man like the ivy to
the oak, and she would forget all
about her dog. Try II once, sis, and
you will sell your dog to the frs,
butcher that comes along.-Peck'i
