Badly Hurt.

Thursday afternoon, John Newman,
a brakeman on the G. K. & W., was
quite badly hurt at Cottonwood Falls.
He was on the ladder at the side Of
the car when the platform of the cat
tie shute which was carelessly left out
struck him in the back as the car
passed. Mr.. Newman was knocked
senseless. He was taken up by the
other train men and carried to Strong
City and assistance was summoned.
II. j. O'Brien. the trainmaster, in
company with Assistant Superintend-
emit Woods, went down on special
car. Physicians were called and
everything was done possible for the
suffering man. He was brought to
this city in the evening and taken to
his home on South Neosho street.
Yesterday evening he was resting
easily. His injury will no doubt con-
fine him to the house for several weeks.
Mr.. Newman was hurt in coupling
an engine to some cars a short time
ago. He is married man, the father
of four children. The Doctor says he
thinks there is no doubt but that be

THE CREAMERY.

A Creamery and Cold StOra &c :EsGab-
lIshment Being Worked Up.
The meeting at the board of trade
rooms to consider the establishing Of
creamery was very we'll attended last
evening. J. a. Newiin was chosen as
chairman and J. F. O'Connor secreta-
ry. The object of the meeting was
stated and Mr.. Mahana stated explic-
lily and at some length the cost of an
establishment and the amount of bene-
fit to be derived from it. At the con-
clusion of his talk j. L. w. Bell told
his experience in the business, as did
John Hammond, A. A. Wells, j. C.
Jones and F. E. Smith. The gentle
men were all of one voice and were de-
cidedly of the opinion that it was one
of the best things that had been Of
fered to our citizens. The discussion
was kept up at some length and a
motion was made by A. A. Wells that
the. chair appoint a committee of five
to call on the citizens to-day and Sc
cure the amount necessary, 81 900 in
stock. The chair appointed Messrs.
A. A. Wells, 1. w. Conner, 1. E. Perley,
w. j. Jones and A: G.. Lakin. Sew
eral hundred dollars were subscribed
before adiourning and it is thought
the committee will have no trouble in
securing this amount.
The $1,000 includes creamery with
a capacity of 1 500 to 2 900 lbs. of but;
ter day and cold storage apartment
of 800 to 1000 barrels capacity, COM
plete. The building win be erected
and ground paid for from this amount
and the money will not be paid until it
is in running order.
| The advantages of such
an establishment can not be ques-
toned. The time for fattening and
selling steers by the farmers and de-
pending on the corn crop entirely is
past, and some other means must be
employed to keep the money in the
vicinity.
The plan is to have persons 60
around each day and gather up the
milk and give checks for the amount.
Pay day comes once a month and the
mixer comes TO the city, gets his money
and in all probability spends nine
tenths of it before he leaves, thus bene-
fitting the merchants. No creamery
viii be erected by this company within
radius of twenty-five miles.
The contract between the stockhold-
ers and the company represented
by Mr.. Mahana was read by
the secretary last night, and it
includes everything in the establish
ment, from the lot on which it is built
down to a scrubbing brush.
Every citizen should assist this
committee and there should be no hes
itancy in getting the full amount sub
scribed. The cold storage apartment
can be used for eggs, fruits, and any
thing that would be benefited by a
cool place.

SENATOR VEST of Missouri, in his
his speech in the senate on Wednesday
last, on pensions, made some cutting
remarks well worth storing in the
minds of northern senators and mem
beers OF the house. One was especially
worthy of remembrance, and was also
extremely suggestive. 1t was his as
sertion that there were mo confederate
soldiers in almshouses." Another was:
1--WE would have pensiored every dis
abled or dependent confederate sol
der if God had blessed our cause. y
And yet there are so-called union men
in both houses who voted against the
dependent pension bill. because. for
sOoth, they thought too much of the
union veterans to make paupers Of
them. Queer logic this: Better to let
them starve or 60 to poorhouses than
accept a pension from the ship of state
they saved from wreck.

AN important decision regarding
life insurance has just been rendered
in Illinois. A man in that State in
sured his life for the benefit of his wife
from whom he subsequently obtained
a divorce. Upon his death she applied
for payment of the policy. The judge
of the court in which the action was
brought denied the claim upon the
ground that before his death she had
ceased to be his wife. and that after
his death she was neither his widow
nor his heir.

AN interesting incident is related Of

Seward was presented with badge
by Commander Feighan in behalf Of
the members of the department. The
past commander is a devoted member
of the Baptist church, and in closing
his remarks on the reception of the
present, in a most feeling manner,
with voice trembling with emotion
he besought his comrades to become
valiant soldiers in the army Of the
Lord Jesus, which SO touched the
men before him that when Seward had
concluded his appeal, they rose in 9

mourn the fact that the attempt at
Winfield to utilize the G.. A. r. in the

was a failure. They urged that in

old to be benefited by the homestead
and presumption laws. The old soldiers
however, did not forget that they
were already too old to be caught
by such chaff, and remembered that
while they were, with few exceptions
already too old to take advantage OF
any new territory which might be
opened up, they were not too old tC
hold on to what they already had pre-

enough to be led into any movement

what they expected to live on during
the few remaining years allotted them
