effeminate clerk in one Of the city stores

odist parsonage. He used more pillows

in st. Paul, wanted for burglsrizing the

Atchison.-The children of the Or
phans' home had a Christmas tree,
through the kindness of the National
Soldiers home at Leavenworth. Gov
ernor Smith, accompanied by an escort
of fifteen old soldiers, brought the pres

Atwood Democrat: All the dwelling
houses in Atwood are occupied and
others are being built. There has not
been such a demand for land since
1886. All the vacant land in Rawlins
county is rented and most of the land
owners have withdrawn their land from
the market. As We predicted some time
ago, season of prosperity is dawnlug
upon us. He is wise man who secures
a home in Rawlins county before next
season, when We confidently believe any
good farm will readily sell for SO per
acre.
Kansas City. Kan.-Workmen on the
second floor of the main building at
Armour's were treated to little expe-
renee they do not care to have repeat
ed. A new ammonia pipe had just been
put up to convey ammonia from the
ammonia room to the cooler, and was
being tested under a high pressure
when it suddenly exploded with loud
report. The pipe being broken allowed
the deadly gas to pour out in album
dance and at the imminent danger of
the lives of the workmen. All who
were near we're thrown down, and Will
Taylor was painfully bruised while an
other laborer was severely cut on the
arm by a knife he held when he fell.
All the workmen suffered severely from
the escaping gas before it was shut of,
but all had about recovered by night.
Wichita Eagle: A little incident &C.
Cured at an East Douglass avenue res
taurant, which, if read by eastern read
ers will sound very 'western." A young
fellow, dressed according to the latest
fashion rules, was at dinner. and not
finding pepper sauce on the table
abused the waiter. A cowboy from
Protection, Kan, was in the room at the
time. The dudes words to the pretty
waiter girl enraged the cowboy, and
going out, he procured q bottle of pep
per sauce, and with his revolver pointed
at the young fellow, commanded him to
drink till he would tell him to stop.
Ind hat 10
nally, frightened out of his wits, drank
what he could of it. The noise attract
ed quite a crowd. and an officer, learn
ing the particulars, turned the cowboy
loose with the admonition to be careful |
hereafter.
