A wreck just half mile east Of La
Harpe occurred Friday night about ii
o'clock. The freight got stuck in the
snow drift another engine with the
caboose ahead of it went to help them,
and there being no light in the rear OF
the train, it ran into it. The brake
man was putting out a lantern when
the relief train came up. The brake
man was horribly mangled and died
Saturday about noon. He wished
very much to see his wife and she was
telegraphed for; she and few friends
started and their train was wrecked
on the bridge beyond Bronson fortu.
nately no one was hurt. They had
six engines here until Saturday night,
two dead" ones, one froze up west
and the one that was wrecked here.
The passengers were also delayed UNI
til Saturday afternoon from the nigh t
before. Several others were badly
hurt but none seriously. Frost
has been called to Fort Scott on ac-
count of this railroad disaster. An
other agent was sent here until his re-
turn. ...... Miss. Johnson expects to
start home to Illinois this week. She
expresses herself very much pleased
with Kansas. ........ We have been much
disappointed in getting our drama
books, for the literary and consequent
~ we will have none this time,
January 30th, but dialogues, panto-
mines, recitations, etc.. will make up
the programme. But will have the
drama the next and last night.

Well write up few items for you
this week Messrs. Editors, and if you
don't get them i'm time for this weeks
issue they will probably keep until the
next. We are sorry to hear tn at a
young lady, Miss Seers, we believe,
was accidentally shot, over on Rock
creek, Tuesday, Jan. Goth. AS your
columns will probably contain an ex-
tended account of the affair we will
say no more about it only that we can
not say whether she died from the eff
feet of the wound. We attended
the Rose Hill lyceum Tuesday even
ing, and were very well entertained
for a couple of hours. The exercises
consisted of dialogues, tablcauX. reci-
tations, select reading, ETC.; the "etc"
including the election of officers. The
officers elected rs far as we can remem-
Der are as follows: PRECEDENT, S. III.
Patterson; vice-president, Shelby Stat
ford; secretary, Swinney; Treasurer,
We begin that with n capital letter
because it's such an important office.

Remsburg and Chas. Smith. Adjourn
ed until Thursday evening, Jan. Goth.
On account of the inclemency OF
the weather, there was no debate at

tangled in the hedge "when the
shades of night had fallen fast, and
the rain seemed like it e'er would last;
one night about a week ago. We
would suggest that he go in some 9TH

Ye compositOr made quite mistake
in our last; we spoke of unpropitious
weather, but he said it was propitious.

that we were right......... Mr.. Nash has
