the amount of $4,000.

Louis. The"religious culture of children"

D. D., of Birmingham. Ala; Mrs. J. w,

WILL PROSECUTE KLoCKsoN.

The X. of 81. Treasurer of FIT. Scott, Who
Disappeared, May Have to Suffer.
FIT SCOTT, June 29.-George Klockson,
treasurer of the grand lodge of the
Knights of Honor of Kansas, who left
this city a year ago last September, tax
ing with him some $500 of the funds be-
longing to the lodge. which he has never
made good, will probably be brought
back to this city at an early date on a
state warrant, charged with embezzle-
ment.
When he left this city he started for
Leavenworth to attend a meeting of
the grand lodge of which he was treas
urer.
Several days passed and as he failed
to return, his friends became alarmed
and made inquiry for him at Leaven-
worth. They were greatly shocked at
learning that he had never arrived in
that city. An investigation was at
once made to see if the missing man
could be found, but no trace could be
got of him further than Kansas City.
Several weeks passed and nothing was
heard of him until one day a letter came
from a town in California saying that he
was there in a hospital under treatment
for injuries received by falling from a
train. His wife went to his bedside, and
to her he stated that while in Kansas
City he was approached by a couple of
men, and that is all he can remember
until he found himself in a freight car
with the two men, who had robbed him
of his money and part of his clothes,
They put him out of the car and he
walked until he came to town which he
found was Colorado Springs. He had
been struck on the head and was partly
deranged. He continued to walk and
steal rides on freight trains until he was
thrown from one and received severe
njuries which caused him to be sent to
the hospital.
His bondsmen, c. Hahn and D. w.
Mclean of this city, were lenient with
him as it was thought he would come
back and fix his financial matters in
some shape. He has failed to do this
however and they at last secured the
professional services of Attorney Chas.
Stephens, who has ascertained that
Klockson is living on a ranch near Port
land, Oregon, and that he is reported to
be in very comfortable circumstances.
Taking this into consideration his bonds
men have decided to institute proceed
ings against him and he will in all proba-
bility be brought back to this city in a
few days to answer to the charge of en-
bezzlement.

REDMONDVILLE ADVENTURE
A Man Goes There and Talks Bold to the
Natives

Charles Lilies of Parkdale strayed
over into Redmondville, the colored set
Element west of North Topeka this after
noon, and like the man who ran the Bow
cry he doesn't propose to repeat it for
time. He met two co!ored men and
ssked them what time the Union
Pacific train was due. One of them said
at 11:3O. Lilies knew this was a mistake
and told the man so.
s'Do you mean to call me a liar?" he
asked.
"Take it as you please"
The colored man picked up an iron
bolt that lay on the track and hit Lilies
with it. The first blow struck his hat
and smashed it. The next one struck
him near the left ear, cutting a cash
three inches long and knocking him in
sensible.
The police think they know who the
colored men were.

TIE KILLING OF STocK BY RAIL.
RoADs.-In the Virginia Court of APP
peals at Wytheville last week, in the
case of the n. & w. Ry. VS.. John h.
Johnston, the court affirmed the judg-
ment of the Circuit Court of Washing
ton county, Judge Harrison delivering
the opinion. This was an action for
killing stock by the defendant compa-
ny while running through the inclosed
land of plaintiff. The court holds that
section 1858 of the code is an express
mandate of the law requiring the rail-
road to fence its road bed on both sides
with q lawful fence; that section 1861
must be construed in the light of chap
ter 50, from which it is taken. The
court construed the law to be that
when the railroad fails to obey the law
except where excused by the law, then
it is liable for the stock killed in run
ming through the inclosed land of the
owner.-.Staunton Vindicator.

LETTER FROM FAUQUIER.
Correspondence Alexandria Gazette ]

/
MARSHALL, Va, July 20.-Now we
have tropical heat and the present
summer will be recalled as wet one.
Fortunately the late hail and storm
did no damage, save level the oat
crop, and contribute to a splendid
growth of corn and grass. The wheat
crop now being threshed out by steam
engines may I've pretty fair one, but
since the drop down in price to sixty
cents per bushel, the farmer will make
no great deal, and perhaps sees plainly
that the modern hot bed method by the
use of fertilizers to grow wheat does not
pay. The wheat thus grown is un-
doubtedly inferior in quality and
weight to what stable manure will pro-
duce.
The cattle industry in this part of
Virginia is certainly more profitable
than the cultivation OF grains.
By the bye, Fauquier's population is
rapidly increasing; e. g., three families,
though one has removed lately, counts
up 42 children, and one of three had
number IS presented to the admiring
parents lately. The assessor and cen
sus taker are in despair and begin in
the language of the Litany to pray
'Good Lord deliver us,"i e., have pity
on Father Cook
A bit of rivalry it is said prevails in
our midst among the "buds," the con-
sequence of which has been to make
quite an excess in numbers of the fel-
lows on the occasion Of the late sur
prise and other enjoyable parties given.
Alas for our parsons no weddings are
as yet announced. Miss Madge Co.
vile and mother are at Meadow Grove,
the former lady is a landscape artist Of
reputation; Mrs. Frank Wyeth and
sister go shortly to visit friends in
Clarke county Miss AiDsley, of Phila-
delphia, who has relatives in Alexan-
| dria, goes to Canada.
Bishop Newton's visit to Trinity
Church, Marshall, the Goth, is looked
forward to with much interest. Rev.
]. J. Norwood has weekly con6rma-
tion class, and Rev. Mr.. Mathews, an
English evangelist, has been invited to
come and hold meetings at The Plains.
Through late letter from Cuba, an
extract from which may interest some of
the readers of the GAZETTE, the writer
says: "The rebels are destroying all
our fine and costly estates. many of
them worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars. As they cannot conquer they
destroy the property of unoffending
and peaceable planters and are thus
bringing ruin on thousands of innocent
people," We repeat, Cubans need
only Bible christianity to civilize such
oppressors.
