THE SECOND ATTEMPT.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. l3.-A second attempt to wreck Santa Fe express train was made short distance east of Florence, Kans., Sunday night. The section men of that division went to Florence during the day and returned home on hand car at about $50 o'clock. They d.ssavered a tie .acl oss- the track, fastened down and succeeded in removing it before the arrival of the east bound express, due there at 9.45 o'clock. The section men discovered four men retreat ing from under the bridge, soon after the train had passed. They were making rapid progress towards the woods, where they probably had horses in hiding upon which to escape. The Sunday night previous an obstruction WIS placed for the passenger train, near Emporia, and resulted in the wrecking Of a freight train and killing the fireman. It is believed this is the same gang, and that robbery was their object. A reward of $5, 300 is offered for the arrest of the perpetrators of the deed of wreckage.

We would not Intentionally harm anyone, far less maliciously malign fellow being and in order that we may not be deemed guilty of such an offence as the Courier apology would have tho public believe, we will state that we have still further investi- gated the facts set out yesterday in our ar ticle, entitled ''CinchinQ Woman," and have found no reason to make approximation.
 That MT. Bashford did offer to permit Miss Johnson to occupy the brick building he proposes erecting, is true, but his offer was only made under the pressure of public opinion, engendered by his conduct toward the defenceless woman. That his primary object was to oust her,is proven by the fact that more than two weeks ago he rendered to business man the premises occupied by Miss Johnson for the same rent paid by her, alleging as a reason for his desire, tc get rid of the restaurant, the inconvenience which attends such business. To say that Mir. Bashford would expesd a couple oi thousand dollars to benefit anyone out oI pure ge aerosity, is to state a proposition that hiHcareer of twenty years in Prescott gives Hs direct to-

Enforcing Marital Rights.

The case of Mr.. and Mrs. Weldon,
of England, is attracting good deal
of attention throughout the civilized
world. The lady has beautiful voice,
and was an ornament to society before
she married; but she has an unhappy
temper, shrewish tongue and an in
ordinate delight in litigation. She has
plenty of money, and can indulge in the
luxury of going to law. Her husband
found living with her uncomfortable, so
he left her. He offered her every in
ducement to live alone. She was to
have a house and money to live on COM
fortably; but that was not enough
She insisted upon her rights to her hus-
band, and she went to law to make him
live with her. The court sustained
her right. though admitting that the
law was absurd. The court, however,
suspended any punishment on Mr.
Weldon, pending an appeal to a higher
court. The lady was so eager to get a
decision in her favor that she applied
TO the Justices of Appeal to take the
case out of its regular order, which they
refused to do. 1t seems, however, that
it really is the law of England that a
husband or wife can be punished for
not living with married partner who
is hateful to them. At last accounts Il
law had been proposed in Parliament
to rectify this state of things. Demo

Two Ways OF Reading.

Mabel was good little girl, but she
did not like to study. She told her
mother she could walk and talk, and
she didn't want to read.
Her mother was sorry to hear her lit
tie girl talk in that way. She told
Mabel how foolish she would feel to
grow up and know nothing.
Mabel said she would like to learn if
it was not such hard work.
One morning Mabel lay on the floor
with her book in her hand. She said:
Mamma, l don't think other little
girls have such hard times studying"
81 know my little girl is not very
stupid" said her mother. eff you
would study your lesson instead of.
thinking how hard it is, you would soon
get through, Mabel. Put your book
away now, and l will give you lesson
without any book"
Mabel was delighted to put her book
down. She did not know what her
mother could mean. They put on their
hats and walked. a great distance. At
last they came to shady yard withSaI
large stone building in it. Mabel's
mother asked to go to the school-room.

"see how nicely those little girls

Mabel looked at their books and
said: Mamma, they are not studying,
for their books have no letters in them. ~
MabePs mother then asked for one of
the books and showed it to her. There
were no black letters in the book.
Mabel felt the page and found that. it
was rough. Her mother told her it
was covered with raised letters.
The teacher told one of the little girls
tCAread for Mabel. The pupil ran her
fingers over the page and read nicely,
Mabel then learned that the poor little
girls were blind, and could only read
by feeling the letters.
Mabel told her mother that she had
enjoyed her lesson without any book
very much, but she was so sorry for the
little blind girls. Her lessons would
not seem hard again, when she thought
of them. Our Little ones.

The Crime Of Suicide.

Under modern statutes it is no longer
customary to bury the body of a felo de
Sc with a stake through it, but it is law
that If one be an accessory to q suicide
he may be convicted of murder The
law has long been settled in England,
and there have been numerous trials
under it. One of them in London is of
a romantic character, where the pris-
oner was convicted, but was recon-
mended tor pardon. The prisoner
was indicted for the murder of woman
by drowning her. 1t appeared that the
prisoner had lived with the deceased for
several months previous to her death:
they were in state of extreme distress,
ard being unable to pay for their lodg.
ings, they quilted them in the evening
of the night on which deceased was
drowned, and had no place of shelter.
They passed the evening together at the
theater. and afterwards went to West
minister bridge to drown themselves in
the Thames; they got into boat, the
water where the first boat was moored
not being of sufficient depth to drown
them. They talked together for some
time in the boat into which they had
got, the prisoner standing with one
foot on the edge of the boat, and the
woman leaning upon him. The prisoner
found himself in the water; but whether
by actual throwing himself in, or by
accident, did not appear. He struggled
to get back into the boat again. and
then found that the woman was gone;
he then endeavored to save her, but
could not get to her, and she was
drowned. In his statement before the
magistrate he said that he intended to
drown himself but. dissuaded the woman
from following his example. The
Judge told the jury that if they be-
lieved the prisoner only intended to
drown himself, and not that the woman
should die with him, they should acquit
the prisoner; but that if both went to
the water for the purpose of drowning
themselves together, each encouraged
the other in the commission of feloni-
Gus act, and the survivor was guilty of
murder. He also told the jury that, al
though the Indictment charged the
prisoner with throwing the deceased
into the water, yet if he were present at
the time she threw herself in, and con-
sented to her doing it, the act of throw
ing was to be considered as the act of
both, and so the case was reached by
the indictment. The jury stated that
they were of opinion that both the
prisoner and the deceased went to the
water for the purpose of drowning
themselves, and the prisoner was con-
victed. But the Judge thought it right
to submit the direction to the considera-
ton of the Judges. After considering
the case, the Judges were clear that if
the deceased threw herself into the
water by the encouragement of the
prisoner, and because she thought he
had set her the example in pursuance
of their previous agreement, he was
principal in the second degree, and was
guilty of murder; but as it was doubt
full whether the deceased did not fall in
by accident, it was not murder in either
of them, and the prisoner was recon-
mended for a pardon. -Egery Other

The Maine Girls Chewing Gum.

1t costs $4,000 year to keep
Augusta citizens in chewing gum
Young ladies, especially those in school,
are proverbially gum-chewers, and it
takes no small amount to keep them
supplied. Yesterday a Frenchman
from Horeb Falls was in town and
marketed 125 pounds of the spruce
article. One druggist took seventy-five
pounds. 1t cost in the neighborhood OF
one dollar a pound. 1t was prime
gum, white and free from imperfec-
tions, was in Jumps, and had been
carefully scraped and cleansed. The
man said that he had two hundred
pounds of the gum at home which he
proposed to market in Belfast. Gum
from young trees is the best, being OF
a lighter color and of better flavor
than that taken from old trees, which
is of darker shade and has a rank
taste. There are men who make gum
gathering u business, and derive snug
little income from this source. But the
spruce forests which grow this product
are failing, and the day is not far dis
tant when there will be famine ii

making enormous inroads into the rank
of the trees, and the spruce-worm ha.

Collie in Horses.

The horse has comparative small
stomach which is adapted to the use OF
concentrated food, but that concentrat-
ed food should be mixed with bulky or
fibrous food. In state of nature,
horses live upon grass and its seed, but
the seed is not eaten alone. 1t requires
bulk as well as nutriment. The bulky
or fibrous food must be eaten with the
concentrated, so as to separate the par
ticleS of meal and render the mass, as it
goes into the stomach, porous. 1t is
quite easy to see why the contents of
the stomach should be in a porous con-
dition. The gastric, or digesting fluid
must circulate through this mass of
food in order to effect its digestion. If
corn be ground into fine meal and
moistened, it becomes very plastic, and
adheres in solid mass, almost impen-
etrable to any liquid. Now when a
horse masticates corn meal so that he
can swallow it, saliva must have satu-
rated it, and it becomes a plastic, adj
hesive mass; and being in this condition
in the stomach of the horse, the gastric
juice can not penetrate it, and the mus
cular movements of the stomach can
not break up this adhesive mass so as
to allow the gastrc juice to circulate
through it. and therefore it can not be
digested. And it is for this reason that
whole corn, or that very coarsely
ground, may be fed to horse with less
danger of collie or other diseases induced
by feverish stomach, because, in the
form of cracked kernels, it can not ad-
here in solid, plastic mass, and what
is not digested will pass away in the
droppings. But in the case of the
plastic dough, the gastric juice only
comes in contract with the outside, and
the mass remains so long in the stom-
ach as to create more or less fever and
cause collie or other disease. National
