Shocking Accident.

Blair McMillen was in town last Thurs
day. He gave us the particulars of sad
accident which befel q seven year old
son of Mrs. Beymer, who resides just
over the line in Wichita county. 1t ap-
pears that the lad was herding a small
bunch of cattle, and in their wanderings
over the prairie came up to an old sod
house which has been abandoned for a
long time. When the parties left the
place instead of filing their we'll, they
covered it over with boards and threw
loose dirt over them. Knowing nothing
of the existence of this old death-trap,
he accidently rode on to it. The boards
being light and partially rotten gave
away under the weight letting both boy
and pony fall to the bottom, distance
of 10S feet, instantly killing both. The
body of the boy when found was covered
to the depth Of several feet by the caving
earth.
It was some time before the boy was
missed. When search for him began the
old well was found uncovered. The
mother insisted on being lowered into
the we'll that she might be satisfied that
her boy was not in it. Accordingly q
rope was procured and the mother was
lowered, hand over hand, to the bottom,
where she discovered the iiteless body
OF her boy imbedded In the earth with
the weight OF the pony upon it. The
work of extricating the body was begun,
which occupied those who kindly offered
assistance, nearly two days The tuner

victim Of the accident and was largely

Tn the early history of The DEMOCRAT.

in the early history OF the democrat
ic party in Ellis county the good old boys
like Gilkerson and Tracy and Henley and
Schlyer and Treat and Fox never put the
party to the expense and unnecessary
exertion of holding a county convention.
They used to meet, few at time, and
put up ticket which was very often sue
ceesful because of its obtrusive retire
ment, as it were. They were shrewd.
those leaders, and very seldom talked
anything about democratic principles
and democratic success. They used TO
say: "Politics are nothing, it is the men
We want" Then when they got in a
man, as they ran in Courtney and How
ard and Arnold and Schlyer, for instance,
they chuckled in quiet content, and man
aged to get the papers down below to
announce a great democratic victory.
The bulk of this democratic vote since
1876 has been found in the Russian
towns. Those Russians were supposed
to walk up to the polls and vote as the
wise managers IN Hays dictated But
somehow, this year, these Russians con-
cluded that they ought to have q say
To the surprise and con-
sternation of the managers in Bays they
appeared at Saturdays convention with
some candidates of their own and tied
the voka on the first contested nomina-
ton. BY means, unnecessary to mention
here, the managers secured a majority
after an adjournment Of fifteen minutes;

Standing by Kansas.

Kansas is all right. The emigrant wag-
ons that are headed east will some day be
headed back. A poor crop in Kansas is
not as common an occurrence as a poor
crop in any other state in the union. The
man who is looking for a country where
the coru is always right, and where the
wheat crop never fails, may as well look
for Eden. There is No such place in the
world. Kansas is young. Those who
stand by it and help it will find that it
will grow into the way of helping them.

Last Saturday evening Sam Plyley
and Chris Wolf, who were working for
W. s. Harrison, couple Of miles south
east Of Wa-Keeney, came to town to do
some trading. They drove Mrs. Bene-
diets pony to Mr.. Harrison's road cart.
When they were ready to 60 home they
discovered that the pony had been united
and the whole outfit was non est comatus.
On Monday morning A. P. Lawrence
issued a warrant and Deputy Sheriff
Grant Marshall started in pursuit Of the
thieves. Sometime In the forenoon of the
same day w. S. Harrison and &. L. Glea-
son found the pony about mile and half
southeast of here in a draw and still
hitched to thecart The cart and har-
ness when found were considerably out of
repair and the pony was scratched a lit
tie. How the pony came to be where it
was found can only be conjectured.
From the circumstances it seems there
can be no doubt that the property was
stolen and it would seem that, after the
thieves drove the pony q long distance,
they either turned him loose or he broke
from them and then wandered back
toward home.

We were the victim OF misplaced

We were the victim OF misplaced
confidence last Saturday. As We came
down from dinner (the neighbors had
brought MS in something during the day.
We met a smooth-faced benevolent look
ing old gentleman in front OF the opera
house who inquired if We were IN the land
business. We promptly. very promptly,
informed him that We were and began to
expatiate about our fine climate, ETC., and
then, thinking that the copy on the hook
needed replenishiDg we blandly excused
ourselves with the promise of seeing him
later. Cutler, Eppler, Roberts and about
q half a score of others who had helped
put mp the job were standing around and
enjoyed the proceedings immensely The
benevolent looking old gentleman was
Em. Cowden, from Ogsllah, whom We
knew well, bat he had shaved OF his long
beard and mustache which rendered the
transformation 50 complete that We did
not recognize him. We were not the
only victim. We never realized 30 fore
ibly before that whiskers, like charity,
cover q multitude Of deformities. We
used to think Cowden was cookbook
ing man.

Trego County Sunday School Con-
Vention.

The Trego County Sunday school con-
ventioD was held in Wa-Keeney, Sept. 10
and II, 1890. Rev. J. A. Bright, state
secretary, was present at all the sessions
and, while the attendance was not quite
so large as it should have been, the meet
ings were all very interesting. The clos
ing session Thursday evening was one of
the best we have ever attended and Mr..
Bright although indisposed held his
audience as few speakers can. He is, We
believe, an earnest, conscientious, Chris
tian man and is certainly the right man
for the position he occupies. Our advice
to all is to attend the next convention.
We hope to be able to publish full re-
port of the proceedings next week.
