A STAMP ROOM.

Apartment.


Apartment.
In certain eld-fashiered house in
London there is a room about twelve
iaet square, the walls of which are
completely pspered with postage
stamps It is estimated by Mr.. Pal
rner. who is the largest stamp dealer
in the world, that these stamps would
be worth five million dollars but for
the unfortunate circumstance that they
are not genuine.
Mr. Palmer extracted these forgeries
from collections which he has bought
from time to time. AS a rule he says
the people from whom he bought them
did not know they were forgerics- No
forged stamp. however. is likely to
pass as genuine when it falls under his
scrutiny.
This crazy patchwork shows speci-
men of every known stamp in the
world The Pail Mall Budget says
there are seventy thousand stamps on
the walls of the room, and that 1t took
almost thirty years to collect them.
..To make wall paper out Of them
kept four pairs of hands busy for three
months. They are pasted upon canvas,
so that it will not be necessary to re-
move the building in order to remove
the stamps. Paste, nots~n, was used.

While there cannot be much artistic
beauty in room papered in this way,
it suggests an idea for those discour-
aged stamp collectors who started
with the intention of securing mill
lion, but have at last abandoned the
idea after patiently soaking off" and
tying up several thousands of the small
bits of paper, gathered by their own
industry and through the contributions
of pitying friends.

A FLoATER FOUND.
The Dead Body Of Strange Man Taken From
salt Creek Last Sunday.


Jos. Williams, COL, went TO Trip
lett last Sunday afternoon aud re.
ported that he had found the dead
body of man floating on the bosom
of the waters of Salt creek, L 1-2
miles south OF Triplett.
A posse of Triplett citizens was
formed who went at once TO the spot
where the body had been seen by
Williams. The remains were taken
from the creek and removed to Trip
lett, where, after being suitably
clothed and placed in n coffin, they
were inferred in Triplett's pasture
Monday afternoon.
There was nothing on the body
when found by which the dead man
could be identified. The only article
in his pockets was one or two hecta-
gon-shaped brass chips with "P. L.
on one side and "s4" on the other.
The stranger hsd dark hair, wore
sandy chin whiskers and amustache,
both hair and beard being slightly
siivered with gray. He was about D
feet or 8 inches high, and would,
perhaps, weigh l75 or $50 pounds,
being quite stoutly built, and looked
TO be 45 or 30 years OF age. He was
dressed in a blue checked jacket, n
brown flannel shirt, two pairs ofover.
alls, one brown and the other blue,
and wore a pair of coarse plow shoes.
He is supposed to be the sameman
who was seen in Triplett n few days
before, and who while there called at
the telegraph Office and asked the op
orator several times il they wer, talk
ing about him.
When he left Triplett he started in
a southerly direction, and in his
pathway was a small pond of water,
but instead OF passing around it he
waded right through the pond, which
left the impression that he was de-
mented. 1t is supposed that he
walked into Salt creek, when he
reached il, the same way and met
n watery grave.
Coroner Grinstead, of Salisbury,
was telegraphed for and went to
Triplett early Monday morning, but
the circumstances OF the case, he
thought, did not require the empsn-
cling Of jury, and so made a report,
as no marks or evidences of violence
were found on the dead mans per.
son, that deceased came to his death
by drowning, but whether by acci-
dent or with suicidal intent was not
known.
At last accounts nothing had been
heard as TO where the stranger hail
ed from, although an effort is being
put forth to do so.

The Sumner Star says that VIM.
Waugh frustrated an incendiary's
scheme to burn the vacant dwelling
house of Geo. Switzerland Tuesday
evening of last week. In passing the
house he saw smoke issuing there
from, and on entering found that a
fire had been kindled in one corner
which in a few minutes more would
have been past control. A can with
coal oil in it and some matches were
found on the floor. Water being
handy.Mr. Waugh soon extinguished
the flames.

In Jail Agsin.

Deputy Sheriff Deuipsey went to
Wien last Thursday and brought
back DR.. j. l.. Maier, a Wien drug
gist, who is again in durance vile.
1t will be remembered that DR..
Maier was fined $40 and costs at the
late April term OF circuit court for
illicit traffic in alcoholic beverages,
but he refused to put up the neces-
sary amount of money to cover the
fine and costs, and was sent TO Jail,
where he refused to either eat or
drink.
A few days after the trial his fine was
remitted by Judge Rucker on condi-
ton that the doctor leave the coun-
ty in twenty days, never to return.
He. however, failed to comply with
this condition, hence he was again
arrested and lodged in iail to serve
out his fine and costs, where he is
again putting in his tine in fasting
(and prayer.)
This is only the first chapter.
There are still four other indictments
against the doctor for the same Of
Tense, which are yet to be disposed
of.
People who live in Charlton al
ways become most favorably i'm
pressed with the county, but DR..
Maier's attachment must be of a
most ardent nature, or he would
have preferred leaving the county to
languishing in Jail.

HE DIDN'T DRINK.

Sheriff Dempsey tells good Joke
on himself during his recent trip to
the Indian Territory TO capture Theo-
dore Walden, who is wanted in this
county for forgery.
While in the Indian country the
Charlton officer was approached by
an Indian editor, who wanted to
know Mr.. Dempsey's business, and
it being the .sheriff's program to
capture Walden and get out OF the
land OF the red man as quietly as
possible, he told the Indian quill
driver that he was from Kansas and
was in the territory looking after
some land matters.
This seemed to satisfy the searcher
for news. but as he was feeling hilar-
ious and showed evidences of having
recently imUibed of the flowing bowl,
he insisted that Mr. Dempsey take
drink with him, and on the "Kan-
sans" informing tie pencil pusher
that he didn't drink, the red skin was
astonished, and calculated: "The
HI you don't. Then you are the
first man / ever saw from Kansas
who doesn't drink, and I'd like to
have your photograph"
The photograph was promised,
and Sheriff Dempsey bowed himself
out OF the knight OF the quilts pres
ence, captured Walden and was soon
whirling back to Missouri.

UgDER THE WHEELS.
Little Otto weismAn Run Over by Glas-
gov Branch Train.

A sad accident occurred on the
Glasgow branch of the Wabash rail-
road, about / 1-2 miles south oi
Shannondale, on Wednesday of last
week, resulting in the death of G.
year-old Otto Weisman, a son OF
Mrs. Chas. Weisman, a widow.
The little fellow, it seems, was
playing on the railroad track, and
when he saw the train coming, he at
first got out of the way, but evident
ly became frightened ond again got
back on the track. By this time the
engine was so near him that it was
impossible for the engineer to stop
the train, and the boy was knocked
down and run over, his right leg be-
ing terribly crushed and mangled.
The injured member was amputat
ed just below the knee by DR.. j. W.
Hawkins. OF Glasgow, and DR.. Oliver
McEuen, of Shannondale, but the
shock proved too severe and the un-
fortunate boy died from the effects
of the accident and subsequent op-
Grafton last Friday.
An inquest was held by Coroner
Grinstead, of Salisbury, the jury re-
turning a verdict that the boy came
to his death in accordance with the
facts given above.
Mrs. Weisman has the sincere sym.
patby OF her neighbors and friends
over the sad death of her little son.
We understand it is her intention
tn bring suit against the Wabash
for damages unless satisfactory
adjustment of the matter can be had
without n lawsuit.
