He settled in Lyon county In 1858. pre-
empting his home place at q time when
Emporia had out q dozen or 30 people,
and when all west of that point was q
vast buffalo range. He comes down to
verify all that he has heard and read of
Wichita and Sedgewick county. In the
fall of 1858 he helped make up a party
of several who came down from the
eastern portion of the state for buffalo
hunt. The party went into camp on the
Cowskin, six miles west OF the junction
of the two Arkansas rivers, where they
bagged a big lot of game. Mr.. Il. killed
buffalo standing on the river just above
where the big bridge spans the stream.
He says he expected TO find q good solid

buried in forest of trees that looks 10 b

It is announced that on and af-
ter April LIST the price OF admis-
sion to the Exposition grounds will
be twenty-five cents for all hours
after 5 +. II. This measure will
probably result advantageously to
the Exposition, while meeting an
urgent popular demand. 1t will
induce many persons who have not,
during the forenoon or afternoon,
leisure to visit the grounds, an OPP
portunity of doing so at very mod
crate expense in the evening, and
in the mild and pleasant weather
of spring the evening will be the
agreeable division of the day for
such excursions. The buildings
and park will be found as attrac-
tive at this time rs in the earlier
hours Of the day, and what NTH
the concerto, displays of fireworks
and The brilliant effects Of the cleo
tric lights, there will be no lack Of
enjoyable experiences for the yisi-
tofs who linger in the enchanted
precinets after nightfall.

The death of Mr.. Theophile Prudhome,
Sr., who was buried here last Monday,
has created much excitement in the conf
nlunity where he lived, owing to the fact
that all the circumstances point to poison
rs the cause. The facts as We have been
able to learn them are about as follows: :
Some three weeks ago, Mr.. Prudhomme,
who lires at o. X. lapding, about twelve
miles below here, on Red river, lost two
fne mules that died very suddenly. They
we're perfectly well when put in the sta
bic and fed at night, and were dead the
next morning.
Mr.. Prudhomme, in order to determine
Il possible, the cause OF their death, had
one Of them cut open. and made an ex-
animation Of their intestines. lie was un-
able to discover the cause Of their death,
and nothing moro was thought Of the
matter, unSil . few days later when Mr..
Pudhomine and his daughter, who lived
with him, were taken violently Ill just
after eating breakfast, rs was also the
cook and her husband.
Some time later, on the same day, while
the persons mentioned were sick, one Of
Mr.. Prudhommc' sons, who lives ON Old
river came to see him, and after remain
ing short time, stated that he had eaten
no breakfast that morning, and asked II
there WAS anything in the house to eat.
He was told that the only thing left from
breakfast was part Of chicken, that he
would find In the safe. He ate what was
left Of It, and was almoet Immediately at
tackled ~ the others had been, with vio-
lent purxing and vomiting.
All Of the parties except Mr.. Prud-
homuse Sr., aud his daughter, recovered
In few days. The former died last Sat-
urday,. and the latter is still very sick.
We learn from physicians who have
been consulted, that both the deceased
and his daughter, show unmisfakabls
symptoms Of poisoning BY arsenic. II h
generally believed that the mules were
poisoned, and The chicken we mentioned,
ate some Of the mules stomach that was
thrown on the ground when its intestines
were taken out. A large dog that ate
some Of one Of the mules, died almost ON
the spot. 1t Is to be regretted that post
mortem examination of the body Of Mr..
MAS not held. with view Of
discovering with certainty whether he
died from poison. and II 80, what kind Of
poison.
There Is no telling bat these fpcls1iGht
be very important sids in unrayelling this
case. There is absolutely no
suspicion attaching to any one. 1t b
generslly conceded that the deceased was
poisoned BY eating the chicken mention
ed, but further than this the whole mat
ter h involved In mystery.
The deceased was nearly seventy years
old, and ssood high in this Community.
Ills family and relatives have our deepest
sympathy thy.-NatckitocAe Resiese.

THE GREATEST AND GRANDEST.

The unvarying statement of ev-
cry late visitor to the Worlds Ex-
position at New Orleans is that it
is the greatest and grandest expo
sition ever held. In magnitude it
is simply immense; while IN vari-
ETY. of exhibits aud comprehension
of subjects it has never been rivall-
ed. The earlier reports, based
upon its incomplete and unfinished
condition, and Influenced by the
execrable weather which prevailed
for some six weeks after the OPEN
ing, did the Exposition great injury,
and will be source of regret to
many people whom they deferred
from visiting it and who may not
now have the opportunity. Notwith-
standing the difficulties and d;sap-
pointments which attended the
opening and the first weeks of the
Exposition, and the serious finan-
cial endorsements which ensued,
the work of completing and per-
fecting in every department has
steadily progressed until now the
Exposition is pronounced complete
in every detail and exceeding in
magnitude, scope and interest any
exposition ever held.
When it is recalled that the diff
ferent Exposition building cover
ninety acres of space, and that all
of this space is utilized by exhibits,
and those ofthe richest, rarest and
most perfect of their kind, our
readers can form some idea of the
attractions and interest of the
Worlds Exposition. 1t will, prob
ably, be the only industrial enter
prise of this kind that the present
generation will have an opportu-
nifty of visiting. The financial en-
barressment attending the creation
of this (now happily relieved by
Congress), and the improbability
oe any further assistance by Con-
gress to any similar enterprise, will
undoubtedly discourage any effort
in this age to establish another.
Hence. the opportunity of visiting
this ought not to be passed.
The United States Commission
ers for the different States in CON
junction with the management have
designated different days to be
kept and celebrated as the special
State days of the various States.
Covering these dates the railroad
companies have agreed to make
specially low excursion rate, lower
than any heretofore given. This
is done for the purpose of encour-
aging the fullest possible attend
ance.
The rates Of accommodation and
entertainment in New Orleans are
said now to be as low and as rea-
sonable as at any prior season, and
as low As in any city of its size in
the country. The weather is now
perfectly charming, and every Wis
itor returning from there expresses
the utmost qualification and delight
at his experiences. Our readers
should consider we'll before they
permit this opportunity to pass
away.

that of Robert Garrett, the

and both give largely to beggars. but Miss
Wolfe will not give until she is convinced
that the object is worthy. Most of these

of them have more wrinkles than roses
