1t seems that the suggestions made
by the papers last week have already
borne fruit as Mr.. GreasOn informs US
that second passenger train will doubt
less be put ON the Wichita road, prob
ably within a week. 1t will be run 90
rs to connect with the night trains ON
the Missouri Pacific at Fort Scott, leav-
ing that place about ii p. m. and arriv-
ing there about $40 q. m. According
to this time card the trains will prob
ably pass at lola. With this new &C
COMMUNICATION and with through chair
car on each train the already popular

Mr.. Rotermund, son-in-Iaw of 5. NJ.
Jennings, who has been working as
brakeman on the Wichita road, was
run over by car at Benton OH Mon
day and had his leg broken in two
places. He was going to make COUP
ling but missed his footing and fell so
that the wheels passed over his right
leg in two places, breaking the bones
both above and below the knee and se-
verely decorating the flesh. The car was
fortunately empty, else the leg would
have been entirely severed. AS it is the
injury is very serious one, although
the ply sicians think they will be able
to save the limb.
Mr.. Joseph Reed, of MarmatOn, was
in town Tuesday and handed the REG
lister curiosity that he had found q
day or two before among the eggs in q
hens nest. The material ofwllich it is
composed is evidently the same as that
composing an egg shell, but in shape
the thing very much resembles q SER
pent, having well defined head and
neck, swelling gradually into q large
body and tapering again to q point, the
whole being coiled Onitself three times
so that the general outline is about the
shape and size of an egg. 1t is certain
ly curious thing and it would be in
teresting to know just the secret of its
formation.
An old resident of the county ha nds
US Michigan paper giving an accO unit
of q. tragedy that occurred a few days
ago at Tekousha, Michigan, resulting
in the death of Mr.. and Mrs. Shedd of
that place. 1t seems that the wife was
the aggress0r. first attacking her hus-
band with a butcher knife. He took
the knife from her. killed her with it
and then cut his own throat. Mrs.
Shedd was formerly q resident Of this
county where she was known as Mrs.
Watson and later as Mrs. Estep, and
il is thought this item may be of inter-
est to some who were formerly &C
1uainted with her. Her last husband
