The merchants and the clerks longed
for the time when things would get n
i!;tle quiet, and they could have n
chance to talk to their wives and see
their children once more while awake.

in this way. If money was TO be made
only by such sacrifices, for her part she

ana shoes and clothing, groceries,
hardware and various other brands of
trade having been very little affected.
During this time the money market in
New York has been very easy, and the
money markets of Chicago and St.
Louis not at all stringent. The his
tory is about as follows: AS soon AS 1t
was well established fact that the
crops of the country were good, stocks
in the hands Of retailers being low, the
retailers of the whole country visited
the wholesale centers and bought very
freely from the 18th OF August to the
18th of October. Nothing in trade had
ever been known to equal the demand
for goods. Merchants and merchants

Yesterday morning the dead body of

gully near The slaughter house, about
two miles east of the city. The body
was clad in shirt alone. and near by
were found the shoes. pants and draw
ers, coat and vest, which had evident
ly been worn by the dead man. The
body was that OF old man Joe Taylor,
an old Englishman who has been cul-
tivating farm five miles east of the
city. He Is well known here and had
two daughters employed at the Me
Dougal house. Day before yesterday
afternoon he was In town with his
wagon and team and left shortly
before dark, considerably under
the influence of liquor. The evidence
goes 10 show that when he got out to
the slaughter house he fell out of the
wagon aud his team went of and left
him. He was crazei with liquor. and
deliberately stripped himself of his
clothing and with nothing on but his
shirt he crawled around through
the brier aud bushes hunting for water,
which he found In a pool near by.
Ailer getting the water he laid down
in gutter and died Of whisky, expo

STORIES ABOUT EARLY,
How the General Put Caroiipisns In the
Front and Favored Conscription.

Front and Favored Conscription.
Washington Letter in the New York sun.
Old Jubal Early Is character il
| Virginia. He IL drawn VI into knoI
with rheumatism and has face like O
hickory-nut His voice Is pitched on
"A very high key aud he IL compound
of sarcasm and shrewdness in equal
parts. He was strongly opposed Ia
secession at the beginning Of the war,
although he fought valiantly when
| fighting was inevitable. In the Nir-
| ginia convention In 1861 he attacked
the conduct ofSouth Carolina bitterly.
| After the war had actually begun
he had in his brigade a South
Carolina regiment. IL WAS observed
that old Jubal was always sure TO put
that regiment in the most tickiish
place when the brigade was under
| lire. During one of the battles around
Richmond Early's brigade was ordered
to the front, and, AS usual, Early made
the South Carolina fellows head the
column, sshleaking mt the top OF his
voice us he rode up TO them: Yes, III
send you 10 the front and III Keep you
there too! You got us into this fix
and, d---n you, you've got to get us
out !"
During the war he went 10 church
only once, and his experience then
was not such as 10 encourage him TO
20 again. IL was in the winter OF
1864, when the Southern states were
agltating the expediency of conscrlp-
ton. Gen. Early was one Of the most
ardent advocates OF IL. He talked
CONSUMPTION in season and out OF sea-
son and wanted 10 conscript every
thing. One Sunday morning, 10
the amazenlcnt OF his stan,
he proposed that they should
ride over TO u peighboring
church and hear the sermon. The Of
ficers were nearly paralyzed at the
proposition, but OF course consented
pronptly. The country congregation
were astonished to see General Early
and his entire strff march so!emnly
into church and take their seats IN the
front pews. AS soon as old Jubal set
lied himself he laid bis head back
and relapsed into "a comfortable nap
The clergyman took for his subject

THE FOOL.
A Parable Translated From Tourgucnen's
"Poetry In Prose-

l
| From the December Century
There lived fool In the world. Fol-
a long time he remained content and
happy; but slowly rumors reached
him that everywhere he was held u
be brainless idiot.
Grieved was the fool and began Ia
think how he could stop these Sian
ders. A sudden idea lightened his
poor, darkened brain, and without
delay he began to execute 1t.
He met an acquaintance on the
street, who praised highly Il renowned
painter.
"Mercy - exclaimed the fool, "this
painter is almost forgotten. You do
not know that? / did not expect to
find you so naif. You are behind the
timew
His companion blushed and hurried
~ agreed with the fool.
"What "A beautiful book l read to-
day ~ another acquaintance said TO
him.
"Beg pardon are you not ashamed?
This book is good for nothing; all
have long ago abandoned it.
And this acquaintance also made
haste to quickly agree with the fool.
what n marvellous man is my
friend, n. M said II third acquaint-
ance to the fool.
"Why," exclaimed the fool, an. N.
is known TO be scoundrel! to have
robbed all his relatives! Who does not
know that? Ipity you"
The third acquaintance did as the
Others and forgot his friend. Whose
ever or whatsoever was praised In the
presence of the fool, he made always o
similar reply, adding sometimes the
refrain, "and you believe yet In ati-
thorities 2"
Malicious, captious man J" began
the FOOLS acquaintance to say OF him,
"but what IA head !" "And what n
tongue!r added others. "Ah! he Is a
man OF talent"
II ended In publishers asking the
fool TO control the critical section oil ms
paper: and he be- an to beguilc every
body, without changing his express
sions or EXPLANATIONS.
And now he who inveighed so much
against authorities ~ himself an
authority, and the youth worship ana

THE COOLIDGE AFFAIR.

Attempted Robbery of an Atctison, To-
peka \ Santa Fee Train.
Dodge City, Kan, Sept. ga Cannon
Ball train on the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway was attacked by cow
boys this morning, and the engineer
killed and fireman so severely hurt that
he will die. The conductor was shot at
several times, but escaped injury. The
express car was attacked, but the mess.
engers repulsed them. A posse of men
are now in hot pursuit of the robbers,
and a desperate battle will no doubt en-
sue if they are overhanled.
The bohy of John Hilton, the engineer
was brought here this morning, and the
coroner's inquest is now being held.
Hilton leaves a wife and four children
who reside here. His wife is unconscious
rs result OF the terrible shock. Depu.
ty Sheriff Mathers, Nelson, Carey, Bill
Coombs and Others went from here in q
special train and are now in pursuit OF
the robbers.
They aie heavily armed and will no
doubt resist arrest. Parties on the train
say they can identity the parties ii
caught. Fodle, the fireman, was shot in

Cooiedge, the scene Of the robbery, is
470 miles west OF Kansas City.
4hansas City, Mo-, Sept. 29-The Santa
re train, which WAS attacked at Cool.
edge at o'clock this morning, arrived
here late tonight. The statements OF
the passengers differ somewhat from the
brief account telegraphed to day. &C.
James, postal clerk, tells the following
story: The train had stopped at the
station and the conductor had lust sig
nailed to start when man with drawn
revolver climbed on the engine and or.
aered the engineer to surrender. A
scnfiie ensucd. Meanw bile a man open.
ed door of the express car, stumbling
as he entered. He at once opened fire
on the messenger, who crouched behind
a box. The robber fired four times, The
messenger returned tue fire, when the
former retreated from the car. Just as
the fireman, who had left the en-.
glne. was crossing the platform the
robber fired and the fireman fell shot
senseless through the neck. MeanwLile
the first robber, who had been forced
backward by the engineer, fred and the
engineer fell dead, shot through the head.
James, hearing the firing, Lad gone to
the door of his car, and witnessed the
attack III tue express car. BY this time
the people had come out OF the train and
the robbers had dispersed Only a few
persons witnessed the shooting.
5. 5. Peterson, the messenger who re.
sides here, told about the same story as
James. He didn't say how much money
was on the express car. Everybody
seemed dazed by the shooting and il was
sometime before pursuit was organized
One theory OF the affair is, that tie
robbers had acconpllces further down
the road, and that the intention was to
run the train short distance and stop:
that the assailants were somewhat under
the influence of liquor, and the plan
mlscarried. Two strangers were seen
about the platform before the train ar
rived. AS a curious coincidence it is re.
lated that the train was attacked few
miles west of Coolidge, across the line iu
Colorado just year ago tonight, and
the Wells, Fargo d Co. express safe
robbed
