Col. soheelz received yesterday ON
his father a package Of letters written
TO him by his father upwards Of fifty
years ago. They were sent TO The
colonel merely a. curiosities, and such
indeed they are q those used 10 the
present methods Of correspondence.
In the days that these letters were
written there no envelopes nor post
age stamps. The letter sheet was
folded the Icing way twice, and then
across twice, and the ends stuck into
each other, and then sealed with wsx;
the back bore the superscription aud
pOstmArk and the amount paid for
postage. Two Of the letters referred
TO, written In 1s43, we're marked,
paid 25c.," while q third, written two
years later. Is marked, "PaId l0c.,"
showing that about that time q very
considerable reduction In postage was
made. Could the letter writers of
those days have had q prophecy Of he
two cent postage Of today. how they
would have marveled. Another fea-
ture Of these letter., made noticeable
by the fight now in progress yer the
Davis will. is the remarkable distinct
ness Of the writing. Though written
in a very close hand, the tracings OF
pen are as clear and the ink as distinct
as II written yesterday.

Inmate of the state insane asylum for
twelve years. He was found wandering on
the streets of Minneapolis with blood on
his hands and was wildly demented. There
was no possible means of identifying him
and he was sent to the insane asylum. He
refused to give his name and during all
these many Years has not said word. His
silence was known 10 be from obstinacy
and many efforts We're made to induce him
TO tell his name but without success. About
two weeks ago he he became very i'll and
rapidly sunk and died Just before he
died. however. he appeared TO recover his
lost reason and called the physician to his
side and asked if he had been arrested for
the murder. He supposed he was in prison
and when told where he was and how long
he had been there, he told how he had met
a farmer on the road near Cherokee. Kan,
and a sudden desire to kill lad possessed
him. He shot the man and then mashed
his face to Jelly. The confession was for

A CLOUDeURST'S vAGARiES.
A Farmer has His House Moved in an
Unpleasant Way.

BEATRICE. NEB., Sept. 23.-A report has
reached here of Il cloudburst which by its
vagaries almost equaled u Kansas cyclone
David TIL, an EnglShman. has a farm on
the river about seven miles from this city,
and he has his barns and sheds along the
banks in such way that part of the stream
Is within the iuclOsure in which his stock is
watereds without the necessity of having
a pump worked. Just back of the barns is
the house, facing the road, which runs along
between two of his fields This was the
situation few days ago, but things are
changed on the farm now. The house is in
the river behind the barns. This change
was caused by waterspout, or as they are
called in this country. Il cloudburst.
Last Wednesday, afternoon Till and his
men were ont in the fields while the women
folks had gone 10 4 neighbor's TO have Il
friendly chat. The house was locked up
and no thought of danger was had. About
3 O'Clock Il storm was seen coming from the
southwest and it assumed very angry APP
pearance. Till and his men unhitchcCi the
horses and FASTENED to the barn They had
just got safely housed therein when the
waterspout struck the place. The house
was lifted bodily from Its foundations and
was swept around in d half circle until it
was directly behind the barn and was then
deposited in the river The water was about
two feet deep and the first floor was COW
cred. The storm did not affect the barns or
sheds except so far as a heavy dowupour of
rain was concerned After the storm
passed il was found that not thin" had
been disturbed in the house, with the excep-
ton Of the things that were wet By the
water flowing over the first floor. 1t will
cost about S2OG TO put the house back on its
foundation again. but Till says ne is glad to
have got OFF so easily.

the aisle, shaking hands with one or two
friends. As he neared Bowen the latter
arose from his seat in Il STOPPING position,
pistol in hand, and fired point blank at
Alice. This was the first shot OF the af-
fray. Alice then drew his weapon and the
