KANSAS IxMtGRASrs.-This noon two
large freight cars covered with chicken
coops attracted attention at the depot.
A DEMocRAT man, ON inquiry, learned 4
that the contents belonged 10 three fam
lilies named Davis, Gibson aud Tice, sew
enteen members in all. Besides stock, |
furniture. etc. ,on the inside were sixteen |
coops Of almost ieatherless chickens on
top Of the cars, the birds having lost |
most Of their feathers on the way. The |
cars left Wichita, Kan, two weeks ago, |
the people having resided near that Ia |
nous bubble and two OF the men accom- 1
panied them. The remainder OF the I
families are expected in n day or two. 4
They wish TO invest in stock farms and 1
make this their home, having become \
tired Of the frequent crop failures Of that
country.

manner. Awakening she thought il was I
a reality, and Immediately had the Gus
tomary hot fire built, covered the little
fellows breast with fiannels and did the /
usual things for a severe case OF Group, I
not much TO the satisfaction OF the boy
who was perfectly we'll, and had not /
coughed at all. The case shows what
holiday worrying and eating will do.
