descriptive circulars, and her friends
are IN great distress of mind tor her
safety.
| Appleton Journal: We are
reliably informed that the people OF
Hudson have adopted new plan
for raising money tor their Sunday
school. We are told that last Sum
dav evening a travelling Snowman
was allowed to give an entertainment
IN their house, and an admis sion
was charged with the understand
ing that the Sunday school was to be
enriched with half the proceeds.
We are surprised that the good peo-
pie in that vicinity should counten-
ance such things.
Appleton Journal: We UNDER
stand that some fellow who claims
to be minister of the gosple is 60
ing through the country preaching
that Appleton City will be destroyed
by cyclone this summer. because
the people here are SO wicked that
Providence will trown upon them.
Of course we are not very we'll post
ed as to what kline of a record Ap-
pelton City has above, but 1t is our
oppinion that the reverend gentle
man spoken of is Just about as likely
to be struck by cyclone as Apple
ton city is.
Neosho Miner: A little five-year
old son of Alfred Peel, was on the
track near the center of the railroad
bridge, near Avoca on the Ft. Smith
track, when the train came thunder
ing around the curve on Tuesday
last. He threw himself fiat on his
face, between the guard and T. rails,
across the heavy timbers that pro-
ject outside of the rails. The en-
gine, tender and two cars passed
over him. The train stopped, and
the men rushed up expecting all the
horrors OF a crushed and bleeding
little form, staring and s,ghtless eyes
but the little fellow jnmped up,
clinging to his school books and
shapeless dinner bucket. His inju-
ries consisted OF bruised arm, and
a slight cut on the cheek. When
the train stopped the boys coat
sleeve was under the driving wheel
and held him fast. His escape was
a miracle, and was made possible
only by his wonderful presence of
mind and determined pluck.
Springfield Herald: Charles An
derson, Scotchman who lives on a
farm adjoining Brookline, and his
daughter, were bitten by dog be-
lieved to be mad on Tuesday. The
animal had been away from home
two or three days, and is supposed
to have been bitten while absent.
Some one remarked that the dog was
mad, whereupon Anderson insisted
that this was not 50, and went up to
the animal intending to tie him,
when the dog jumped up and bit him
in the forehead. The dog then bit a
daughter of Anderson's, when it
was killed. The daughter Is not
considered to be III any danger, as
the skin was not broken.
Carthage Pafiot: From the
Springfield papers we learn that the
loyal people of that city kindly re-
ceived DR.. Prosser, with the floral
dove prepared and forwa arded by the
ex-Confederates of Car ,hage, as a
floral offering to decora te the graves
OF the brave Union soldiers who re-
pose at Springfield. That was a
noble act Of our once Confederates,
and it shows that brave and honor
able hearts. after lapse of long
years, are incapable of harboring
resentment, much less being beget-
tiers of strife. Napoleon was wont
to say: "When my enemy is killed
or wounded he IS no longer my en-
emy," and all history applauds 1t,
