A Remarkable story of Indian Cruelty su-
perinduced by Jealousy.

perinduced by Jesiousy.
Living near This town is a wuinan
whose preicctly bald head tells a curious
story Of jealousy and Indian cruelty. In
1859 Oswald Thurwald, Il Swedish farm
CT, had a home IN the territory close to
the Texas border. and his family con
sisted Of his wife, two daughters and a
SON The Indian, seemed friendly pass

and had made his preparations to move
TO Dallas, where he intended to extend
mis- business, when the tragedy occurred
that destroyed his home and scattered
his family.
1t seems that the chief of the Tonkawa
Indians, who visited that part of the
country from the south on raiding ex-
petitions, had seen Elsa, the elder
daughter, and fancying her offered to
buy her of her father. But Thurwald,
though fond of money, refused, which
gave great offense to the chief. Return
ing home, he melted his people against
the Thurwalds, and the following spring
| they made an attack on him. He and
his son succeeded III escaping, but the
wife and younger daughter, though they
eluded capture the first few days, were
overtaken finally Mrs. Thurwald sank
under the fatigue of her flight through
rugged country, and when the Indians
came up with them it was to find the
girl holding her mother i'll her arms, the
poor woman having just expired.
The next day the girl herself, tagging
on the march from an arrow wound III
her ankle, was shot in the presence OF
her sister, who.had been seized and held
from the moment of the attack till now.
She was taken to a village and given
into the charge of the squaws until the
men should have returned from the war
trail.
In the meantime the Kickapoos dc
clared war on the Tonkawas and raided
the village, when Elsa Thurwald was
carried off with such of the Indian
women rs We're spared rs slaves, The
Tonkawas, on returning, found the
smoking remains of the house and

Referring to the fact that the human
head is sometimes facetiously and ir-
reverently spoken of as "a cocoanut, "
the Boston Transcript remarks that sci
entists have recently discovered re-
markable resemblance between the shell
of the fruit and the shell of the human
brain. Then it quotes a French Scien-
tific periodical to prove that there is a
wonderful likeness between other hu-
man organs and vegetable products
For example. the meat Of the English
walnut is a close copy Of the form and
convolutions of the brain, plums and
cherries are like the eye almonds are
shaped like the nose; the ear is brought
to mind by an opened oyster and she'll;
in mammoth squash the entire body
may be traced: the open hand is found
in growing scrub willow and celery, and
the heart is seen in the German turnip
and the eggplant.

CornNillc Cattle SHOW and Fair

The Cornville cattle show and fair
was held upon their grounds near tn"
town house on Wcdue sday, Sept. 10Th
In the morning thc'waather looked very
threatening, but rs the day advanced
the clouds cleared away. and taken upon
the whole the day was all that could be
desired.
The people began to arrive early and
by afternoon there was Il large crowd OF
people present. The display of stock
was very good but hardly up to what
it should have been.
There seems to be Il lack of interest
among the farmers to make this day all
that ii should be. In town like Corn

that their annual cattle show and fair
could not be of Il greater and brighter
magnitude. Below we give preferences

The Manchester Mirror and American
makes an interesting complication OF the
loss to that city involved in the tempora-
~ suspension of its great mills, and the
reduced wages paid after operations were
resumed. The mills last year paid their
employees about S7,000,000; 10 per cent.
reduction means loss of 100000 in
twelve months. The loss of the Amos
keag operatives during the two months'
suspension was half million dollars,
add the workers in the other mills lost
about the same amount. In other
words, says the Mirror and American,

not think these are the most in need

not think these are the most in need
of help?
We who have had the great oppor-
tunity of using real foreigners as bo-
ject lessons in the study of their coun-
tries and habits, will be able to take a
great deal home with us, if we go to
see them with an earnest purpose in
view. But what will they take home
with them? They do not see the best
side of Americanism. In reality all
that they see is American curiosity,
thoughtfulness, rush, push and jos
tle," and love for ..good bargain -
It would be grand thing if these vii
layers could take home with them the
knowledge of better life-a Christian
civilization, and they would gain this
great and good gift, if all the people
that attend the Fair would as individ-
uals take their religion with them, and
make it point to do some one of these
ignorant men and women in the little
foreign villages a good deed. Many OF
them do not understand tour language,
but they cannot misinterpret a kindly
smile, our friendly look; and rest as
sured that no kind action, however
small, will ever be, lost
We, as an enterprising people, are
helped in spite of ourselves, by seeing
these rude, ,uncultured brothers of ours.
But it will be disgrace to us as a ma
ton, if these visitors to our shores for
few short months do not take back
with them to their homes something
besides the pride of vanity and greed
of gold. MINNIE II. DILTs.
