brny association has in view the estab-
hshment of reading room for the bene-
fit Of the Lads whose parents have not
the ability or the inclination to keep
them of the street.
Independence Tribune: J. J. Miller,
south Of the city, recently lost his left
eye. He was grubbing out pear tree,
when one of the sprouts with thorn
on it sprang back and struck him, the
thorn penetrating the eye and destroy
ing the sight.
Manhattan Nationalist: We see that
the boy murderer, Charles Miller, for
merly Of Leonardville, but now under
sentence Of death in Wyoming, escaped
from jail, but was so badly frozen that
both feet had to be amputated. A COM
panion was frozen to death.
Atehison Champion: The county
treasurer turned about $4,000 into the
city treasury OF the 1891 taxes. This
is the largest amount OF taxes ever
turned over by the county TO the city
at one time. This sum will meet all the
city's obligations now due.
Ottawa letter: The Ottawa street car
line has been sold at auction by the
sheriff. A company composed of prom
| inent business men and bankers of this
| city bid it in, but they have decided
not to operate it at present, and the
cars are on a standstill. The line has
been very poorly managed or it would
/ have yielded better returns.

Hiawatha World: A new swindler haA
been doing Hiawatha. He has been So
Letting subscriptions to ladies' maya
zine and offering ten yards Of dress
goods as a premium. He showed a
good sample of goods and of course got
some subscribers and 81 on each sub
scription. He has gone and with him
the 81, the magazine, and visions of q
new dress. Once more the people who
expect to get something for nothing
have been hooked for suckers.

The library of the University OF Kan
sas has Just received an important addi-
ton. The entire library of Kansas books
collected by J. W. D. Anderson, of
Neosho Falls, Kan, has been secured.
Mr.. Anderson has for several years been
known as an earnest and assiduous col
lector of all books which, in the slight
est way, have any reference to Kansas.
The collection consists of about IT'S
volumes and 100 pamphlets. Many of
these volumes are of great historical in
terest. Some are Of such rarity that it
would be almost impossible to duplicate
them.
Ottawa.-In tbs case of the state VS..
Kowertz, here on change of venue from
johnson county, Kowertz is charged
with stealing a horse in johnson county.
He went from there to Missouri, near
Lee Summit. He was noticed by two
farmers, whose suspicious were aroused.
They followed him and, overtaking him
Unexpectedly, were compelled to throw
their hands up. Kowertz relieved them
of their money and compelled them to
lie fat on their faces in the middle of
the road, then took their team and made
his escape. That night occurred the
Otterville train robbery, in which
Kowertz is accused of having taken a
hand. He has the appearance Of being
the most brilliant william ever tried in
this court. --EF7~>---~
Hiawatha World: Some young ladies,
well dressed and faces smiling, were
conversing merrily in the depot, Sunday,
when a blind man, led by a bright, but
poorly clad little girl, entered. The
weather was sharp and cold, and the little
thing stood there shivering from her ex-
posture. One of the ladies slipped
from the group, and taking a good,
warm shawl from her own should
ers, she wrapped the poor child in
it. There were but two or three loung-
ers about the depot, and SO quietly
was the act bestowed that it was hardly
noticed. This charitable young lady is
teacher in the public schools of this
city, and it may be well said that she is
treasure. Faith, Hope and Charity,
but the greatest Of these is Charity"
