Silent and almost motionIess, quite
hidden in the darkness, stood the huge
form of an old bull elephant. one Of
~hose tusks had been damaged in his
youth, and had become totally decayed.
His head was bent forward, in order TO
rest his one monster tusk upon the
ground; his trunk, loosely coiled between
llis forelegs. was also resting on the
ground, and his great ragged ears tapped
lasmodically in vain endeavors to shake
off the myriads of mosquitoes that per-
sistently hovered around his head. Sud-
denly the forest was Lit up by a most
vivid fash of lightning, followed an in-
sIant afterward by a crashing peal of
thunder. The elephant raised his head
with a startled jerk, his huge limbs
shaking with fear.
Almost before the rumbling echoes of
the thunder had died away, the rain.
that had been threatening for so many
hours. fell in torrents. Flashes of light
ming succeeded each other 50 rapidly
that the attendant peals of thunder were
converted into one continuous roar, and
the violence of the wind soon increased
to veritable tornado tropical Eurri-
cane.
Trees were blown down and uprooted
on all sides. The terrified elephant re-
manned for some time motionless with
fear. but as the tempest continued the
monster became suddenly panic stricken,
and charged madly through the dense
forest. stumbling and falling over the
trunks Of uproOted trees in his endeavors
to gain some open patch where there
would be no danger of being crushed by
the falling timber.
Suddenly, in the midst of a mad rush,
the elephant sank to the ground with a
sharp squeal of pain. The poor brute
had severed the vines that supported one
Of the traps that had been arranged the
previous day, and a heavily weighted
spear v as plunged between his shoulders.
For some moments he remained motion
less, then the great body rolled slowly
from side to side in vain endeayoT to free
himself from the spear, but the weapon
was barbed, and the points had pene-
trated too deeply to be shaken of Here
he remained exhausted until daybreak,
his hide covered with patches of mud
and deep red smears OF blood II Serb

day evening, when about twenty-fOur Of
his young friends met at the home of Mrs.
l.. L. Myers. 5l7 Campbell avenue, to bid

enjoyable evening was passed, in manner
peculiar to the young people of the West

young ladies present. After the various
good things had been discussed by all,
Mr.. Frank Mccormick, in few well
chosen remarks, presented Mr.. Rank, on
behalf of the company, with handsome
present as a token of the respect and es-
TEEN in which they held him. Mr.. Rank

THE DAKOTA. WICHITA & GALVESTON
RAILWAY.

The EAGLE has lately turned out pros
pectus of the Dakota, Wichita & Calves
ton railway, prepared by H. L. jackson,
Esq, of this city, the present chief en-
gineer of the Omaha, Hutchinson & Gulf
railway. This prospectus gives the pro
posed line of the new railway with this
city as the principal and important town
thereon. The estimated cost of the new
line is given to the most minute detail
We believe that this line will be built. 1t
means in short a direct connection with
the Union Pacific at Mcpherson for this
city, and the draining of the Lincoln
branch as far west as Colby of the hogs
and cattle of that region, making all OF
that country, including counties which we
do not at present reach by direct railway
communication, tributary to the Union
Stock Yards of this city. This city has
long desired direct communication with
the Union Pacific railway at McPher-
son, and here is an opportunity, to
get it. The Dakota, Wichita and Calves
ton railway is knocking at our doors. The
company's petition will be presented TO
our mayor and city council on Monday
evening, asking that an election be held to
aid the company, the same 10 be called and
held on the next general election day. we
hope that nothing will prevent the calling
of the election. We know that we are Ia
boring under the generally prevailing I'm
ancial depression; but Wichita cannot
stop. This city has never yet voted down
fair railway proposition. The petition Is
well signed. 1t represents the taxable
property, and the business men of this
community. If submitted it will carry, as
it ought to do; and, if the aid is voted, we
confidently predict that it will be built &C
cording to the proposition contained IN the
petition, which means new railroad for
Wichita before the end of 1891.
