The queen is rather fond Of straw hat.
and one Of the latest photographs represents
her at an al fresco breakfast in the bosom OF
her family, wearing a garniture of this
primitive species. AS her majesty ignores
thrones and scepters and objects to appearing
among her people clothed in the symbols Of
royalty, but prefers to hide herself in the
Highlands and don the dowdiest dresses,
there is no doubt that another photo will
soon be published in which the empress will
be the central figure, sitting on a Scottish
cairn, with Pitcairn straw hat on her i'm
perial bead.--London Letter

SAD SUICIDE
Of Miss Lille Pritchard, of Mill
brook.

Friday morning of last week the dead
form of Miss Lille Pritchard was found
hanging by the neck in her residence at
Millbrook. It is believed that the sui
eide was consummated about 4 o'clock
that morning. From what we are able to
learn Of this affair, there is hardly clue
to her motive for taking her life. She
was about nineteen years of age, of large
stature, robust and intelligent. For some
time she had edited the Millbrook Demo
Graf, which paper is published by two or
three of her brothers.
We are informed that in the journal
which she had kept since the beginning
of the present year, the statement is made
that she had often found it almost i'm
possible to repress the act Of committing
suicide. In this journal she is said to
mention the instance Of her passing q
pond in going to and returning from
certain school, and the great temptation
under which she often labored to drown
herself therein. We are told that her
people are infidels, but that she left a
note, requesting that funeral services be
held over her remains.

J. w. Burns has been dressing and
lettering the corner stone for the Presby-

showed us the stone in its partially -com-
pleted state, in the rear of his store
building last Monday. The stone is an
extra quality of the kind which is to be
used in the construction of the court
house. When completed, the corner
stone will be about twenty-five inches
square by fourteen inches in thickness,
A hole seven by nine inches will be dug
in it for the planting of public documents
for the inspection OF some generation
deep down in futurity.
The stone will be placed in the south
west corner Of the building. On its face
will appear, in raised letters-the stone
being cut away from them-"First Pres
byterian Church" On its south face viii
be the inscription, "a. d. 1888"
In his work on this corner stone, Mr..
Burns displays the skill of an artist.

The Judge Emancipates Them.

The Judge Emancipates Them.
On Monday habeas corpus case was
brought from Ellis county to Judge
Osborn, in Wa-Keeney. The nub to the
novelty was that several fellows in Ellis
and Hays City last August plead guilty in
the Ellis county district court Of selling
liquors contrary to law, and were fined a
hundred dollars apiece, and awarded
thirty days in Jail. Their pleas of guilty
were entered with the understanding from
their attorneys that they would not be
committed to jail, and they we're not. The
liquor sellers remained at home. Lately,
Attorney General Bradford appointed an
assistant attorney general for that coun-
ty, and he issued commitment papers.
The Judge held that it was too late to
commit them to Jail, inasmuch as the
time to have done this was Immediately
after the sentence was imposed. OF
course, this position is based upon the
fact that the offenders we're all the time
within easy reach of the authorities.

Installation Of Rev. w. B. Brown
Rev. W. B. Brown was installed Tues
day evening as pastor Of the Presbyterian
church of Wa-Keeney. The house was
well filled with interested spectators.
Rev. 81. e. Aller, of Grainfeld, preached
an eloquent sermon.
Rev. Dr.. s. Hodge, Of Chicago, in Ian
guage choice and impressive, delivered
the charge to Mr.. Brown. The speaker
dwelt upon the relations, at once intimate
and profoundly kind, which the minister
should exercise toward his flock.
Rev. 8. F. Wallan, of Russell, delivered
the charge to the congregation. In
words full of pathos, be admonished them
to pay their pastor, and uphold him by
words of commendation. The formal IN

rare occurrence. Wa-Keeney people be-
lieve in partaking Of the best that Is

of this place is no exception to this rule.

The car which ran under this one was
total wreck, and the company saw that
a mammoth bonfire was made of the
woodwork Thursday evening. Drawbacks
were pulled out, driven in or broken in a
dozen or'more of the cars, and the ends
of these cars were damaged seriously.
The wreck was cleared up in the course
of four or five hours.
Conductor Kain's nose was hurt little
as he was thrown from his chair in the
caboose by the shock, and Brakeman
Nichols was thrown off his feet while on
the top of car.

RAILROAD WRECK.
Heavy Damages, but Nobody Killed

Fase freight, first section, No. II. Dan
Nam, conductor, arrived from the west at
90 Thursday morning, nearly two hours
ahead OF time. We understand the run
ahead OF time was made on an order from
tne division superintendent.
But as we were about to say, when the
tram was just this side OF Trego tank, it
became detached. by accident, into two
sec70ns OF about an equal number of cars
each, there being in the whole train
twenty-four cars, carrying average loads
OF about fifteen tons apiece. The fog
was about thich enough to cut with q
knife, and the first warning the crew
had of the train being separated was
when, as the advance section was coming
to halt at the depo, the rear section,
pulling down grade at twenty miles an
hour, struck her on the hip, as it were,
and caused the air to resound for long
distances with the shock. Tho rear end
of this threshing machine represents the
appearance of the west end of the car
which was telescoped above the car which
ran under it.
