Saved by Baptism .

We have been requested to publish
the following article, and were remind
ed that similar case occurred in this
county about two years ago. The young
lady in this county claims that she went
to heaven. but was sent back to be bap-
tlsed. She postponed her baptism from
time to time, and about four months
after her first death she died again,
without baptism. The INDEX will do
all it can to advance Christianity, but
cannot endorse every strange halluci-
nation as a miracle:
SPECIAL Dispatch to the Toledo (OJ News.
SPRINGFIELD. y. Feb. ga woman
risen from the dead produced a tremend-
Gus sensation here last evening and to-
day 1t is the subject of general comment.
The woman is well known. 1t is Mrs.
George Tyree, of West Pleasant street.
For some time she had been a hlonic
invalid from consumption and spinal
difficulty. She has been gradually
growing worse and Monday afternoon
she was seized with spell of difficult
breathing, her breath coming in gasps
and at II O'Clock, TO all appearances,
she was dead. Soon after she began to

the body was again seemingly llfeless.
All hope was given up, and arrange
ments were made for proper care of the
body, ar undertaken being summoned
and metallic coffin provided. Before
he could arrive, however, the woman
again revived, and, sitting up in bed
startled the attendants by saying:
Il have come back to be baptized"
So positive was Mrs. Tyree that she
must at once be baptized that Rev. w
A. Gross was summoned and she re
quested him to take her to the Chris
tian church and administer the rite of
baptism. He refused saying it wou Id
kill her. But the woman's appeals were
so pitIful that he determined to bap-
tie her at the house. Accordingly h e
took the metallic coffin. and filling it
| with water, with the ard of her hus
| band. immersed the woman. The al
| most lifeless body seemed to be revived.
and shouting 'glory, glory" the inva-
lid was laid upon the bed, no bad effect
being produced by the plunge. and to-
day she is better than she has been for
some time and says she will recover.
Mrs. Tyree is not inclined to say
| much. but she is perfectly happy. Az
far as learned, she is aware that she
was dead. but was refused admission m
heaven because she had never been Ia n.

The Masquerade Ball.

satisfied with the success OF the mas
querade ball, given by the band last

did, the dancing was above the aver age;
and, before the removal OF the masks
therewas free and easy recklesDessth that

Monument Items,

Mr. and Mrs. Fl. e. McGraths little girl has
been quite sick, but is getting better at pres
ent.
The Valentine party we spoke of last week,
passed of quietly. with large crowd present.
Everyone present received one or more. When
it comes to mating, the geese out number the
ducks. The ducks had choice pick of many.
Some of the boys sent pictures of hearts to
their best girls, with the hope of pairing of in
the future. There was one that did not get
the duck he wanted, and we don't believe he
would pair with an innocent dove now. All
seemed to enjoy themselves. at the dance un-
til midaigtl.
We see by the papers that there was a
bill introduced in the lower house, by Col.
Hickox. concerning bridges in Barber county.
We fear the above bill is for the purpose of
getting a special act of the legislature where
by the county viii be required to lift the
. bridge bonds of the several townships ana
assume the same, II such rs the case, We as
tax payers Of Barber ounty object to the biz.
This alliance VIII hold an open meeting on
Wednesday evening. Feb. 18th. We viii have
for discussion. the force bill. An are cordially
invited. especially those who are not members
OF tne alliance.

A Kansas Sugar Man.

Topeka Capital: &c. |. Human man
lger of the Medicine Lodge sugar plant,
is in the city. In conversation yester-
day with Capital reporter concerning
the sugar industry, he said: We manu-
featured 600, 600 pounds of sugar last
season and our crop of cane was very
short. OF that amount about $4,000
pounds was made from beets. Our
OeetS are declared by experts to have
Oeen the best ever raised any place.
They yielded ID. p per cent sugar, while
the best produced in Germany, the great
beet raising country, is but II per cent.
Our people seem satisfied with the re-
suit, and many will turn their attention
TO beet raising"
In referring to pending legislation,
Mr.. Human said: Il understand that
4 bill has passed the house repeating
the sugar bounty. / consider this, if it
passes, terrific blow to the sugar in
dustry IN Kansas. There never was a
law more in favor of the farmer on our
statute books, for the bounty is paid,
not by them but by the moneyed men
and capitalists. and the farmers really
receive the bounty in the advanced
price for their cane, which the manu-
facturerS are able to pay.

Serious Danger

Threatens every man, woman or child living in region of country where feye, and ague is prevalent, since the germs of malarial diseases are inhaled from the water of such a region. Medicinal safeguard is absolutely necessary to nul- Iify this danger. Asa means of fortify- ing and accllmating the system so as to be able to resist the malarial poison, Hostetter's Bitters is incomparably the best and most popular. Irregularities of the stomach, liver and bowels en- courage malaria; but these are speedily recti6ed by the Bitters. The functions of digestion and secretion are assisted by it's use, and vigorous as well as reg ular condition of the system promoted by it. Constitution and physique are thus defended against the inroads of malaria by this matchless ventive, which is also certain and thorough remedy in the worst cases of intermit- tent and remittenl levers.
