The Corpse Ran Away.

A Baltimore dispatch to The Chicago
Herald says: A telephone message to
the Central station last night conveyed
the information that man had been
killed in the Baltimore and Potomac
tunnel, and requested the presence of a
coroner at Union station, whence the
body had been taken. The corpse was
covered with mud and dirt and was stiff
and rigid, Police Sergt, Schultze was
becoming impatient over the non-arrival
of the coroner, and walked to the door
to see whether he was coming. When
he returned, the bench was vacant and
the corpse was walking out of the door.
The sergeant started after his subject,
but the latter, seeing him coming, made
haste TO escape. Finally the policeman
reached him and insisted on his return
ing until the coroner should arrive, but
the man refused in the most positive
manner to let coroner go TO work on
him. He was live man and therefore
not under that officials jurisdiction. The
sergeant came to the same conclusion
and allowed the corpse to go. 1t was
afterwards ascertained that the mans
name Is James Lacy, and that he fell
from freight train and lost conscious
ness for almost an hour. He had been
temporarily paralyzed by the shock

A Cairo, Ills, special to The Philadel-

great disinclination to go ashore. Sew

gan systematic course of prodding,
which threw the beast into terrible
rage. His long trunk was suddenly
twisted around the body of his nearest
tormentor, the man was raised high in
the air and cast unceremoniously into
the Ohio river thirty feet distant. The
excitement was great, and by the time
the elephant was ready for another in.

Harvest Excursion.

General Passenger Agent Of the San
ia Fe, Geo. T. Nicholson, gives the fol
lowing information regarding the har-
vest excursion rates given this fall.
The roads running from Missouri
River west have authorized a series of
Harvest Excursions from all terri
tory east of the Missouri River to all
points in Kansas, Nebraska, Dakota,
Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, New
Mexico, Indian Territory and Texas.
The rate will be one fare for the
round trip.
Tickets will be sold on August 9th
and 10Th, September 10th and 9th,
and October Sth.
The tickets will be limited to thirty
days for the round trip.
Stop-over privileges will be allowed,
either going or returning, within the
limit.
We have already received assurances
that these tickets will be sold from all
points west of and including st. Paul,
Chicago and st. Louis, and we have
good reason to believe that they will be
sold by many lines throughout Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, the Southern States
&c.
Of course the railroads will be very
liberal in advertising these excursions:
but ! take the liberty of calling your at
tention to them, because the territory
to which these tickets will be sold is so
large, and counter attractions so great.
that We need the aid Of all local organi-
cations to secure a proper share of these
excursionists.
This is an opportunity that should
not be neglected by Southwest Kansas.
Mr.. Nicholson further states tina, the
Santa Fe Road will iudiciou;ly distrib-
ute advertising matter free describing
the special attractions and advantages
of any of the locations on their line.
and any of their station agents will for
ward such matter to headquarters free
of cost. This will be good time for
any and all citizens to send local papers
and special letters east.

We have the pleasure to announce a
new departure. location of one
of great system of "Racket Stores

the disposal of Auction and Bankrupt
Stocks bought up by the great Auction
Dry Goods House of c. B. Rouss in

The fact of our stock consisting of
Bankrupt Goods does not iniure .the
articles. but 1t does everlastingly smash
the prices.
Mr.. c. =. Rouss, of New York
City, of whom We are representatives,
keeps 80 of the best buyers that money
can procure, each in his special de-
partment, watching the failures, and
when bankruptcy and ruin overtake the
victim they are there with the Americ-
an Dollar When the hammer of the
auctioneer falls upon some grand and
gigantic "windshake, LISTEN FOR
THEIR NAMES. From such sources
as these We buy our goods and propose
to offer them to the people at prices
that challenge competition. We deal
in good goods and not in trash, and be-
lieve the masses will patronize that
house that sells the best goods for the
least money.
We invite an early and repeated visit
and inspection. Our stock will be
replenished as fast as we can get goods
from New York and We intend TO stick
to the rule of selling good goods at low
