A Serious Accident.

Guy Terrier, son of the late j. Ferrier
of Speareville, met with painful acct
deHt Friday, while hunting on the river
south of Speareville. In the act Of
throwing cartridge into breech-load-
ing rifle, the cartridge stuck fast and
failing to respond to the force of the
lever which throws it into position, he
struck the lever with his fist several
times; the cartridge exploded. a piece
of the shell striking him in the face, fol-
lowing up the side Of the nose and lodg-
ing in the eye. He was brought to this
city Saturday for medical treatment, and
is now lying at the Delmonico hotel un-
der the watchful care of his mother. The
doctors removed the piece of shell from
the eye and entertain some hope of saw
ing him his sight. The wound is a very
painful one and will keep him confined
for some time. Drs. McCarty and Crum-
bine are in attendance.

We can learn them are, that just after
driving the first pile, the cable which
holds the 1000 pound hammer in position
at the top of the derrick, broke. He
saw the hammer coming and Jumped to
one side, only receiving part of the
force, the hammer grazing his head and
shoulders, and thus miracu1ously es-
capped being ground to pieces. He is
severely injured in the spine, and has an
ugly cash in one leg, just above the knee.
which cut to the bone. He was picked
up unconscious, and for q time it was
thought that the blow had killed him.
He had sufficiently recovered by Sunday
morning to make the journey to his home,
which is at Topeka.

SUICIDE.
Peter Besser Hangs Himself From
the Limb of Tree.

On homestead in Wheatland town
ship. Ford county, seven miles southeast
of Speareville. resides George Besser, an
industrious old German farmer. with his
family of five children. 1t was on Fri
day morning that Peter. the middle one
of three sons, brought sorrow to the
humble household by committing sui
eide. Coroner Rose, of this city, went
out Saturday morning to hold an inquest,
and from the evidence taken We are able
to CLEAN the following facts.
Peter Paul Besser. aged twenty-eight
years, left his home about seven years
ago and went to Colorado. He remained
there only short time, when he went to
Kansas City, where he found employ
ment in one of the packing houses. He
was engaged in this business until the
strike took place among the packing
house hands, he alone remaining faithful
to his employers. This so enraged the
striking hands that they made repeated
efforts to have him removed, and even
went so far as to make threats upon his
life if he insisted on continuing at his
work. This preyed upon his mind I'M
til he became demented, and was obliged
to resign his position.
In July last he returned home, work.
ing a little about the farm now and then,
but never recovered from his demented
condition. He conversed but little to
any one, scarcely recognizing the MEM
bers of his family. He was in the habit
of leaving the house at odd times, some
times remaining away two and three
days. On Thursday he was away nearly
all day, and search was made for him
until nine O'Clock at night, but no trace
of him could be found; on the following
morning-Friday-Mr. Besser and his
boys again searched the neighborheod,
when, passing near clump of bushes
about half mile from the house, one
of them spied dark object, and going
over found the body suspended by
halter from the limb of a small tree.
Death must have ensued by slow stran-
gulation, for the limb was so low that his
feet touched the ground. The body was
left hanging until Friday night, when, in
the presence of witnesses, it was cut
down and removed to the house.
Mr.. Besser had just completed the ar
engagements for having his son sent to
the asylum, and was only waiting until
he could finish up some work on the
farm. No cause can be assigned for the
young mans act. other than bis insanity.
except it be that in some way he learned
that he was to be sent to an insane
asylum.

Sleep with one eye open, for there
are burglars in the town. Sunday night
the residences of D. r. Clampett, L. E.
McGarry and Fred Singer were broken
into and money, watches and other
valuables taken. They are an expert lot,
for we are told they did their work very
neatly. 1t is pretty hard telling just how
they gained entrance, for nearly all the
doors and windows were left open in
Mr.. Clampett's and Mr.. McGarry's
houses.

anu-UwenIy summers, whose beauty mas Deen
so often described that 1t would be tedious to
dwell longer on the subject Whether Re
publicans or Democrats, all the Americans
look upon Mrs Cleveland with tho eyes of
thep president
! remember having seen ono day In a comic
paper a caricaturc representing Mrs Cleve-
land bringing back her husband on her
shoulders to the White HOUSE. A caricature
has no value except when founded upon
reality. At that time every one was unnni-
nous in saying that, II Mr.. Cleveland were
reelected president, he would in a large
measure owe the honor to his wife.
Mrs Cleveland calls her husband 'Mr.
President Her own name is Frances Fol-
son. which, it is said, her husband shortens
into Prank" in private. There appears to be
no etiquette on this subject. Martha Wash
ington called tho founder of the great Amer
lean republic General" Mrs. Hayes called
the president "Mr. Hayes" whilst Mrs. Lin
coin and Mrs. Garfield called their respective
husbands ADRIAN" and "JIm."
