The aeronaut L'Hoste, who made
an unsuccessful attempt on Thurs,
day last to cross the British Chan.
mel in a balloon from Boulogne, re-
newed the attempt early Saturday
morning, and hss not since been
head from. It is fear. d that he
was carried out over the North Sea,
into which he fell and was drowned.
A man who would rig up balloon
in order to cross the Channel and
beat the ferry boat out of fare de
serves the sad fate a>cribed to him.

Toe Sensitive.

A man seldom becomes famous
until he is roundly abused in the
newspapers. Some men are sensi-
tive on this point. however,
among the number Of whom is ex-
Senator Conk'ing Of New York.
There il an illnstated humorous pa
per in that city entitled The Judge,
which has been unmerciful in car
ricaturing the gentleman, greatly
to his annoyance. In order to put
an end to this sort of satirical at
tack, it is said Mr.. Conkling and
several of his friends have pur.
chased the paper. This announce
ment revives the memory of an
anecdote told Of Mr.. Van Buren,
when he was running for Presi-
dency. On returning home one
evening he was met at the door by
his wife, who held up q newspaper
to his view with q marked article,
in which he was scandalously
abused. "Mr. Van Buren," said
she, "unless you cowhide the au-
thor of that article, / will get d.
vorcs feom you" Tut, tut, wife, :"
replied Mr.. Van Buren,. II paid
the edi tor $500 for writing it." As
Conkling declares he is ''out Of pol
itics, he would probably prefer to
be let alone, bnt the shrewd man
who is in politics would ra her be
abused than not have his name sp
pear in print at all.

DEATH OF ]. S. FAST.

1t is with sincere regret that we
chronicle the death OH Tuesday last,
at his residence in this city, of Mr..
J. 8. Fast. The deceased was taken
i'll some weeks ago with an attack of
pneumonia, out after a short struggle
he had recovered sufficiently to be
about the house, and his speedy restor-
alton was confidently expected. A few
days since, however, the disease again
assumed a serious form and in spite of
the most assiduous care and attention,
the patient continued growing steadily
worse up to the time of his death as
above stated.
Mr.. Jesse S. Fast was born in Jeffer-
son county, Ohio, i'm the year 1887, and
time of his death. With one or two
changes of location, he lived in that
State until the year 1869, when he
came to Kansas, locating on farm
about two miles northwest of Hum
boldt, where he resided until he was
elected to the Office of Register in the
fall of 1877. when he moved to lola.
That he has been faithful and
efficient officer is witnessed by the
fact that at the. time of his death he
was filling his third term, having
been twice reelected. He was man
of sturdy honor and integrity in all
his business relations, devoted and
atfectionate husband and father, a good
citizen in every sense of the word. He
had wide acquaintance throughout
the county, and every one who knew
him will learn of his death with sincere
sorrow. Mrs. Fast and her daughter
Dora will have the sympathy of every
one in their great loss.
The funeral services were held at
the residence at four O'Clock Wednes-
day afternoon, Rev. 8. S. Weatherby
officiating, and were largely attended.
Mere than thirty carriages followed
the remains to the cemetery, showing
TIE deep esteem in which he was held
by his fellow citizens. May he rest in
peace.

A BUSINESS CHANGE.

Quite an extensive trade, that has
been pending for some time, was com.
pleted this week between II. l.. Hen.
derson and Fletcher & Co, whereby
the latter dispose of their hardware
stock TO the former, taking Mr.. Hen.
derson's farm on Deer creek as pa1t OF
the consideration. Mr. George, the
present tenant Oh the farm, will re-
main Oh it till the first of July, when
Fletcher & Co. will take possession
with the intention of devoting their at.
tention mainly TO the raising of blood
ed stock. The harness and saddle
stock belonging to Fletcher & Co., was
not included in the trade, and they
have rented Buchanan's old stand, jus,
south of the bank, where this branch
of the business will be continued under
the management Of Mr.. Sussmilch.
Henderson & Amrine will move all
their stock into Fletcher & Cos. build
ing for the present, and their old rooms
will be moved onto the lots next to the
Barb Wire factory, to make room for a
new stone and brick building upon
which work will be begun as soon as
possible. Fletcher & Co. will also, in
all probability, begin the erection of q
new business house in a short time
and as the Barb Wire company expect
to fill the old Henderson & Amrint
building with additional machinery
for their factory, this trade seems to
have given quite an impulse to oui
boom.

A THRILLING ADVENTURE

We hate to tell it, but if man don't

locks himself out. A self-locking door

been Cleaning house" all day. He
was tired. He slept. 1t was mid
nights holy hour. The rising zephyrs
threatened storm. He awoke. He
had been dreaming Of-but no matter.
AS we remarked he had been cleaning
house. His carpets, removed from
their immemorial resting place, hung
from the east window of the court of
justice. They tapped ominously
in the rising breeze. He cogitated
thus: "a little rain to lay the dust on
those capets wouldn't be bad thing.
as far a. that parts concerned. But
they don't need washing, so, conse-
quently, l guess I'll bring them in"
He craw1ed out. He passed into the
court of justice. He left his door ajar.
1t may be remarked in passing that
his clothing was strictly in keeping
with the character of the night. He
secured the festive carpets. He softly
retraced his way. He reached the door.
A playful gust of wind had been
there. He was locked out! He cog
itated thus:-!! 81?
