Mr.. Truman Butler writing to his
father from .Lecompton, Kansas, thus
describes Kansas thunder shower:
"Of all the fireworks and discharging of
heavy artillery which ever heard, this
was certainly the grandest. Thunder
yes it thundered till one could we'll ina
gine himself in the battle of Waterloo
The lightning was grander sight than
the people of The Dalles witnessed when
Chinatown was burned or Ben Snipes
had his fireworks. But all this was too
, fine to last long. Then as if the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans had joined hands
over us and with their united strength
had resolved to baptise us, the ram
descended.
Miss Ada Wood, who boards at the
house of Mr.. Geo. Smith on the bluff
had her trunk robbed last night under
the following circumstances Miss
Wood had packed her trunk yesterday,
preparatory to trip to the country.
For the convenience of the expressman
the trunk was set outside on the porch.
During the night Mr.. Smith heard a
noise outside and on opening the door he
confronted man stopped over the trunk
which he had forced open. The thief
was using a candle to help him make his
selection from it's contents. The moment
the door was opened the man took to his
heels. Mr.. Smith only got glimpse of
him but did not know him and could
scarcely identify him: Three gold rings
are missing only, which goes 10 show
that the gentleman had a select taste in
the choice of his plumber.
The residence of Mrs. Juker in this

a few near friends joined the happy pair
In holy ma rimony and all sat down to a
bountiful spread of all the seasons deli
cacies made beautiful with rare and
choice flowers. Hardly had all feasted
ere strains of music from the Third regi-
ment band were heard. Some very
pretty selections were rendered after
which the band boys were seated and
partook of refreshments. Many gifts OF
plate and decorative art told the newly
married couple what high esteem they
shared ih-the hearts-e of friendsand many
were the well wishes of happiness and
goodf ortune through life.
