The Joys OF Life In the Country During the
Heated Term.

The Joys OF Life in the Country During the
Heated Term.
ELM FORKs.-I came to this country
village to find the rest and GOODNESS
which was so widely advertised. The
only GOODNESS l am able to find is that
which belongs to the landlord of this
hotel-if l only possessed some of it!
But it is not included in the emOluments.
The Oldest inhabitant is obliged to adj
init that the thermometer was never so
high nor the sun so low. In fact, peo-
pie going to the hill tops have to duck
their heads to avoid humping against
that inHammatory planet. There has
been no atmosphere here for a week,
and even '.See Saw and White
Wings" have ceased to be airs. If
Shadrach, Mesach & Co. would acct
dentally come salamandering around
here they would lose their reputation
of centuries. and when you set out to
take a buggy ride you feel sure you are
going to come Elijah on it.
When you see people turning the
thermometer upside down so the mer-
curry shows 14S degrees bclo,c zero. you
can realize how they are depending on
Imagination for life. The sunbeams
strike into the ground and stick there,
and fairly drive up the dust; they burn
holes in your umbrella, and if you go
out without one in two minutes your
brains will be boiling and the steam
coming out of your ears.
'.Hot meals" signs we see all around,
but what we want are cold meals. Be-
tween your eyes and the paper the heat
tickers so that you can't read, and peo-
pie go out and jerk the ice man in sud-
denly, or the cake would evaporate if
he walked slowly. Politics are es-
chewed. as disputes would become too
heated. You have to be quick in taking
drink of water or it will evapOrate be-
fore you get it to your mouth. Sunday
We had no music at church, as they
could get no air to put into the organ.
The water in the creek here is so dry
it crumbles up and blows away. Hot is
such a little bit of word that it won't
reach. 1 long for bad cold.
This letteret may seem to be over
heated, but so am.-A. W. Beiiaw, in
Detroit Free Press.

HEAVY ROhIbAPY.

ALBANY, n. Y, July 3l.-About eleven
O'Clock yesterday P. K. Dederick, of the

Farmers Bank and secured package Of

benture bonds issued by the Equitable
Mortgage Company, Of Kansas City, Mo-,
dated May 1. 1887, and falling due May l,
1891, for 81, 900 each. The package was
placed on the scat Of his buggy. A man
passing attracted his attention by saying
there was something the matter with the
harness, and while Mr.. Dederick's head
was turned . confederate dashed in and
grabbed the bonds and made his escape.

The Tea Trade.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The Northern Pacific
is making an effort to secure share of the
tea traffic from the Pacific to the Atlantic

MORE OF THAT KILLING.

Acknowledgement Bradford Investigating
the Stevens County (Exan., Killing.
LIBERAL, Ran. Aug. 1.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Bradford, Brigadier-G General Meyers
and his staff officer, Captain john A. Wal
lace, who went to Stevens County last
Sunday to investigate the killing Of Sheriff
Cross and his three deputies, returned to
Liberal this morning az two O'Clock and
will leave for home this afternoon. The
party visited Hugoton. Woodsdale and
Voorhees, in Stevens County and also went
to the Neutral Strip, where they found the
blood bespattered place where the five
men had been shot down.
General Bradford examined a large
number of people in the different towns
and all the witnesses to the shooting af-
fair. Herbert Toney was examined by
him and his testimony is in every essen
tial the same as his statement at Woods
dale and his post-mortem statement at
voorhees,, which was given to the lress
last week. His statement is ccrroborated
by the two hayfnak ers. Scott and House,
who were encamped near the spot where
the tragedy was enacted.
Toney and House say that Cross and his
men had fastened their rifles to the saddles
of their horses before they lay down. but
Scott is not quite certain whether they did
this or not. This is the only point in which
they differ.
Their testimony is TO the fact that Sheriff
Cross and his party arrived at the camp
tired and worn out, that they asked per-
mission of the lawmakers to lie down and
rest, that they were lying down appre-
bending no danger when they were sud-
denly surrounded by Robinson and his
men and shot down without havin. any
chance to defend themselves. All of these
witnesses say that not on- shot was fired
by Sheriff Cross or byany one of his men.
General Bradford has gathered gree:
amount of Testimony which he will submit
70 the Governor. Genera! Meyers found
that no troops We're needed.
Business is reported TO I've ut a standstiii
at Husoton and Woodsdsle. Every body
is armed and ready for an attack.

GOODiN GONE.
Kansas County Treasurer Disappears
Tor About SO, 200.

Tor About $40, 200.
TOPEKA. Kan, Aug. 1T. J. Goctiin,
who has flied the Office of county treasurer
of Rawlins County for two terms, has dis
appeared HIS accounts with the count y
are short about $4,000. which he Is
supposed to have taken with him.
There has been trouble before with
his accounts, and consequently three
different bonds have been executed at
the request of the county commissioners,
and about twenty names are attached. hut
because OF some irregularities in the form
and manner of accepting the bond. it is re-
ported that tine county will lose the entire
amount Of the shortage. Goodin has been
considered one of the first men Of Raw.
Inns County for honor and responsibility.
He had, however, a weakness for specuia-
tiun, which. it is thought, is the reason for
his disappearance, as he has been known
to lose quite heavily lately.

Il gives me great pleasure TO add my tes-
Hmony in favor Of ALLCoCK's POROUs
PLAsrERs. Last October had . very se-
we're attack Of lumbago and suffered untold
agony; could not turn in bed or get in any
position without assistance, and with pains
almost unbearable; the folks suggested
AIicoCK's Porous PLAsfERs. As soon -
possible had one applied to the small Of
my back, and to my great surprise / expert
enced almost instant relief; continued
wearing It until entirely cured, and am hap
~ to say that have mot had the slightest
symptoms Of Lnmbago since. They arc q
wonderful and valuable plaster for Lum-
bago, and take much pleasure in recon-
mending them. W. b. PHILLIPS.
