the Department for a railway mail
service from Shoshone to ke,chun,.
The petition will recommend that j.

agent on the road, he commissioned
to act as Railway Mail Clerk, and
that he be allowed sufficient salary to
pay him for his trouble. While the
service will not justify the appoint

MRS. KlRBY'S DEATH.
1t Was Caused by Chrouic Alcoholism.

1t Was Caused by Chr"uic Alcoholism.
DR.. Brown held post norton this
morning on the remains of Mrs.
Kirby, who died at k.tchum y-ster.
day. The evidence ELECTED was sub.
stantiall y to the effect that death was
the result of chronic alcoholism and
pernic,ous habi 8.
The belief that the woman had
been poisoned gained credence from
the fact that domestic life had not
been of very pleasant nature of late
between herself and Mr.. Kirby, with
whom she has lived for the pas. six
years. While there had been many
broils, and especially during the past
few months, none had heen serious,
and Mr.. Kirby had no intention Of
putting an end to the existence of the
woman.
Another cause for suspicion was
that the woman had been ailing for
the past week with the stomach COM
plant, which her physician pronounced
gastritis, and this might have resulted
from slow poisoning. But the fact is
established that it was superindured
by chronic alcoholism, as above stated.

Notes Of Father Matthias Trim.

Father Nattini returned yesterday
from his mission trip of nearly 400
miles. He says that, SO far, Haley is
IA more lively town than any other he
has met. Everywhere he was very
cordially received, and had large au-
diences attending his lectures. The
Lost River countryis looking well and
promising. Houston Is slowly filling
up with buil,Iin IS. Chalis has no.
tel that, in perfection Of conveniences
aud management, rivals the best in
the Territory. The roads between
Rocky Bar and Atlanta, and from
Chalis to Bayhorse, are just frightful.
The dust on the Bluckfoot stage road
makes black hair turn gray in an
hour. The indians around Pocatello
have a pretty busy market for their
crops. Eagle Rock AID Shrshone are
putting up solid stone buildings.
HALEY is generally spoken of as big
place. Great expectations are aAoat
along the Oregon Short Line from
the hope OF its earl y connection with
the o. n. Railway. Parties are look
ing around for the enlargement of the
railroad grounds at the principal de-
pots.

The TROUBLE AT BULLION.
1t Is Onieted for q Few DAYS.

The trouble at Bullion originated
from the fact that the keepers of the
bawdy.houses would not compromise
in any way, when asked to move TO
some other quarter Of the city, where
they woul! not interfere with the do
mes:ic life Of the citizens. One Of
these houses stood wi.hin few wards
of and facing two or three inhabited
dwellings, AMI the stairway which Was
the only approach to another, which
was situated hi IN on the side Hill, led
directly to the kitchen DIOR of popu-
lar boarding house.
The citizens offered to pay these
wome" for the trouble they had taken,
and refund their expenses in coming
there if they .oul'l g. away, but no
settlement of the d iii .ultes could be
male in this way, as their "darlings''
'nclted them to place the sum at the
outrag GUS figure Of 800 or $500 in
one instance. The Chinawumen have
left, and one If the others has prom.
ised to leave.
The affair now rests, awaiting the
return of some If the prominent ci,i.

ssWould Stampede the Regiment" !"

John L. Jones, of the old Twenty-Sev-
enth Ohio, tells, among his great store of
army "reminiscences, the following, which
illustrates the danger of a little noise
made at the wrong time and place:
AT point near Dallas, Georgia, the
regiment came into position under very
severe fire from the enemy. The boys
were too gritty to run, and it seemed that
while waiting for the order to charge,
they must lie still and die. At this criti-
cal moment a large, fat colored man, be-
longing to the regiment in the capacity
of cook, was struck in the leg, making a
severe but not dangerous flesh wound
He Immediately set up the most unearth-
ly yells ever heard out of human.
Friends tried to pacify him, but the yell
ing increased in volume and frequency,
attracting the attention of the regiment,
and arousing feeling of sympathy for
the unfortunate man. Finally an officer
of the regiment told them to take the
man back to the rear, and out of range,
and chloroform him, because "I'm afraid
said he, "the - niger will stampede
the aDhOle regi71lent!" :"

PLEAsANToN, KANSAS,

| HLEASANTON, KANSAS, I
April, 23rd, 1888
| To the Editors of the Standard:
l noticed with heart felt sorrow the
sad account in your interesting columns,
of the fall and ruin of M. G. Keenan,.
Milton was school mate and intimate
friend of one of my boys during my So
journ in Berlin. I was well acquainted
| with his grand father. John keenan,, from
the day he settled in Milton TIP. Mr..
Keenan, taught school soon after he set
tied in our neighborhood. Though small,
I was one of his scholars. His first was
taught in small cabin near the N. E.
corner of Abraham Hawks land. This
was the winter of A. D. 1928, as near as
can recollect.
Soon after this Mr.. Keenan, built, on his
own land large and commodious old
fashioned school house, of round logs,
with two mammoth fire places, two win
dows as long as the building would ad-
NIT, and here allow me to add, we boys
never broke a glass out of the windows
in all of our romps, but we made some
holes through the creased paper that sup
piled the place of glass. The seats, as
was common in those days, were of split
timbers and poorly shaved at that. Mr..
K. taught in that house for a number of
years, perhaps eight or ten, was good
teacher, in his day, loved and esteemed,
especially by us boys.
AS scholar Mr.. K. made no great pre-
tentions-did not teach either English
grammar, or Geography, was very well
qualified as far as he proposed to teach.
Mr.. John Keenan,, believe was the first
teacher in Jackson County that received
colored pupils into his school. This he
did, and taught them with great care
Yes sirs, was in school with the Shep-
pards, Poindexters and Cassels, near six
ty years ago. And how shall give ut
terance to my feelings in regard
to M C. Keenan's father, Mr..
Beverly Keenan,. my school master in
boyhood, and my friend in manhood; yes,
my true, faithful, and highly esteemed
friend, all along the journey of life, for
at least sixty years. God knows he has
my sympathies and my prayers.
1 fear I shall weary you, and will close.
You will, trust, excuse my poor style
of penship, when you learn that have
over lived my three score and ten years,
and write on extended time.
Yours truly,
j. E. WHITMAN.

the amputation.

The Martins Song.

Away, away, on the balmy breeze,
With tireless wings 1 fy,-
Over the green earth, over the trees,
Over the house-tops high;
And to and fro
As I swiftly 20,
You may hear my merry cry.
Now with playmates, in concert loud,
twitter upon the cave,
Now through the mist of gathering cloud
With speedy wings cleave-
And not a care,
In the earth or the air,
Can my merry spirit grfeve.
Now skimming the hat of merry boy
Now sailing the waters brim,
Now telling the tale of my boisterous joy
To the evening shadows dim
Away, away,
On pinion gay,
While singing my matin-hymn.
My happy secret you ask of me,
Why my heart is ever light
Why my song is ringing, so full and free,
From morn till the shade Of night?
IT'S the sacred love
Ofear God above
Which keeps my heart so bright.
The life that idles away the days
For our free enjoyment given,@
Which echoes not with the love and praise
OF our father who dwells in Heaven,
Is as driftwood cast
On an ocean vast.
BY q cruel tempest driven.
Then away, away, with me to-dxy-
Whlewarm Is, the Summer air,
While the sunbeams' golden glances play
Through the appie-blossoms fair
In all we do,

An Egyptian Custom.

1t is stated that the ancient Egyptians
when they feasted always had skeleton
at the table with them. This was for the
purpose of reminding them that even in
the midst of mirth and revelry death was
apt to come. Let him come when he
will and he is unwelcome. The Egyp-
tians sought to teach that all should pre-
pare for the grim monster and be ready
to follow him, let him call when he would.
The lesson can well be remembered to-
day. All should learn now while in the
full enjoyment of wealth and its pleasures
that Peruna is the greatest remedy in the
world for the diseases to which flesh is
heir. 1t can be procured at any drug
store Ask your druggist for Peruna, the
great tonic. May1-2w.

ed by Rev. Hendrickson, after which the remains
were taken to point centreville Galla County
Maggie was born near Centreville, the 10th day
OF May, 1861. She was lady of sweet disposition,
and beloved by all who knew her. She had been
member of the Baptist Church for years. She was
an excellent alto singer, and in company with her
sister Mary frequently entertained her friends with
beautiful vocal selections The last time the
had the pleasure of hearing her sing, weeks
ago, when in company with her sister they sang
beautiful piece called "Fittng Away" and the mem
ory OF her beautiful singing, and her excellence
Christian lady suggested these lines;
"Flitting away!" Like a fast-hying dream
The souls that floating on lifes broad stream
Which, fed by the drops of sorrowing friends,
In dark, gloomy billows, forever descends;
Even we, as we weep on its sad shore to-day,
Are "fitting, fitting away"
"Flitting away!' The dark stream rolls on,
And we know that Magge's bright spirit gone;
Yet over the shadow and gloom of the grave,
The sunlight is gliding the dark rolling wave,
And we know that her soul is rejoicing to-day,
While "fitting, fitting away.'
'Flitting away!' How swiftly they fly,
AS the souls, one by one, go hurrying byI
A faint, passing vision-we them more,
They are fast flying toward that beautiful shore
To that land where Divine Love around them shall
play,
They are "fitting, fitting away"
Fitting -" IT'S over-'tis past,
And the voice Of our Maggie is silent at last;
Yet in visions bright mansion above,
4 md hear her voice whisper its tidings of love;
And onward, to join in that glittering array,
We are "hitting, fitting away"
Fitting awayp' From the Springs early flowers,
Away from the love of these poor hearts of ours;
AWAY to the angelic home of the blest-
That home where glad souls are forever at rest;
To the love and the glory of Infinite Day,
She is "fitting, fitting away"
