BAD BRIDGES.


Monday we saw section ofthe needle
beam OF the bridge over Dow creek,
four miles north of town, which bridge
broke down Saturday while Mr.. Clark,
of Emporia, was driving some cattle over
it, precipltating several of the cattle to the
run beneath, and injuring some of them.
The section of the beam shown US by
Mr.. w. E. McCreary was so badly rot
ted that the form OF it was scarcely
preserved, and in q condition unfit to be
any part of structure on the safety of
which human life ana property continu-
ally rely. We understand the condition
OF this bridge was called to the attention
of the commissioners some months ago,
and that the repairing done was very
superficial, and that there are others al
present in the same unsafe condition.
This is a matter OF enough importan &c
to warrant the prompt attention Of our
commissioners

CONVINCED

The much heard-of, long looked-for
Lulu Hurst appeared in our midst on
Saturday night, and gave one of her
phenomenal exhibitions of the tacit hid
den power tSat makes a wonder of the
age. A dozen business and professional
men, among them several newspaper
men, were called to the stage by the au-
dience, and they went determined not to
be deceived, and they were not. They
know one and all that whenever women
are endowed with such power the term
''the weaker sex" will be relegated to
the lords of creation"
Numerous and surpriDg feats were &C
complished. An umbrella held firmly
in the hands OF the strongest men on the
stage, when MISS Hurst's hands were
placed upon it. carried the holder all
about the stage, and finally the handle
IN the hands of one resisting, snapped
Into splinters. Chairs held in the same
way were absolutely uncomfortable.
Five of the strongest men on the stage
failed to push chair steadily and
squal ely to the floor. With the palm Of
one hand against the side of chair she
raised the heaviest men in the house
from the floor.

n1UaDERoUs ArrACK.

Sunday about O'Clock, as Morris
Jones, an employe of the Santa Fe. was
going TO his boarding place Oh the cor
ner Of First avenue and Constitution
street, he was suddenly assaulted at the
corner of Second avenue and Constitu-
ten street. The assailant stabbed him
three times. The first stroke was IN the
breast, directly over the heart, making
q wound about four inches deep. the
knife being DETECTED from its course by
striking a rib. The second cut was
iron the left side below the heart,
not quite so deep as the first.
The third wound was in
hictsd from the rear. just missing
the left shoulder blade. and reaching
within about an inch of the spinal col
umn. II is thought none of the wounds
will prove fatal. Mr.. Jones told q
NEWS reporter to day that when the
attack was made he heard no noise until
the man suddenly confronted him and
struck the first blow. He called fol
help and tried to escape, when the sec
ond and third cuts were inflicted de
could not recognize the muTderous vii
lain. but felt rough wooliy overcoat a.
the man reached over him. He though
the voice resembled that of a negro
When the fiend saw his victim did mo-
fall, and called for help he started away
saying as he did so, "Don't follow me OF
I'll finish you"
Mr. Jones has no idea wha
the motive was. He says he has no enc
mics and has bad no personal troubl,
with any one. 1t could not have beer
for money. There is a possibility tina
the villain thought he was attacking
another man. The knife blade wa
about half an inch broad, and the cuts il
the coat and vest seem to have been mad
with two-edged blade. The woundet
man was able to walk square to hi
boarding place, when medical aid wa
called.
Officers 10y, Wooster and Churchill
heard his calls when five or six square
distant. They started to the place an,
met some men boistrously singing, an,
ordered them to disperse, thinking the
had made the noise. When they hear
of the attack they started IN search c
hend. They have found no clue to hir
and have but little chance as the descTII
ton was very meagre and uncertain
Morris Jones is steady young man {
twenty-four years. That an uprovoke
assault of this kind should be mad
upon him, even by the most desperate
for any reason, is scarcely credible.

THE CUTTER CAUGHT


Elmer Genther, an enploye at Gil
christ's, was arrested last night by Off
GERS Williams aud Worster. for stabbing
Morris Jones on Sunday night. Several
circumstances, such as washing his
bloody hands, and trying to borrow
.evolver, led to suspicion and arrest. He
at first denied the whole thing, but con-
fessed to Deputy Worster before he
reached the Jail, that he did the cutting,
but in self defense. Genther said this
morning that when he approached the
scene of the cutting, he saw Jones stand
ing on the corner and that when
he turned the corner Jones
started towards him. He said he
remembered of striking Jones once, but
had no recollection of any other strokes.
He said he did not know Jones, and did
not attack him thinking him to be any
other person. Regarding the girl, Miss
Knapp, he says he did not know of any
one else paying her attentions, and
thought she had no acquaintance with
other men here. Genther said st one
part of the interview that he understood
Jones was intimate with a woman in
that part of town and had made a move
on him (Genther). thinking ne was
watching his movements.
The good character of young Morrii
Jones and language Genther was heard
to use by parties not far distant, gIy'

OBITUARY

Mrs. Lucinda Keys was born IN the
year 1907, In Stokes county, North Caro-
lima. The circumstances of her early
lite were such as TO develop in her the
utmost reliance upon sell. and deter
mination to be help to her parents in
stead of a burden. Beng among the
oldest of a numerous family, she early
mastered the arts of using the spinning
wheel and loom, which arts in after
years, when, with her husband,
she became pioneer in the
then almost unbroken forest
of Indiana, enabled her to provide the
clothing for the family, whilst her hus-
band with sturdy strokes was opening
up a fam in the green woods which
then overlooked the present HOosler
metropolis, then but small village in
the midst of towering forests. She was
married in 1925 to Joseph Keys, of
Surry county, North Carolina, with
whom she lived happily for fifty years
until his death, and four out of fsmilY
of six children survive to mourn her
loss. She passed away peacefully on
the gath day of October, 1884, after an
illness OF nearly six months, during the
greater part of which time, she was con
fined to her bed. A pioneer duri ne
the greater part of her life, she was {
generous giver to the poor, and firm
believer in the religion of Jesus Christ
and Gied firm in the faith that she wa
going to meet the loved ones gone be
fore In a world where death canno
again separate.
