A Rad Case.

One day recently certain woman
while passing along the sidewalk from
the postOffice to Washington avenue
dropped letter which was picked W
by man from the country, who ex
amined it for the purpose of learning
whose 1t was so that he could return
it to the owner. The contents of that
letter knocked him off the perch. -
1t was signed by its author, who is a
married man with quite a family and
is constantly prominent before the
public Of this city. The letter ran as
follows:
In Jour letter occurs the following:
"YOu have known me only a short
time. | am afraid your love may die
out nearly as SoOr as 1t has been kin
died." Here is my answer:
| love you now. and always will,
Whether going up or down llfe's rugged hill:
love you now, and will lO7e you forever,
Until grim Death life's silken cords shall sever;
l love you in the morning, when the sun is
bright;
| love you at MONDAY, when the sun is at its
height;
lOvey in the evening-in the darkest night:
| love you! Oh, my Darling whether It's
wrong or right.

song:
love sou, sweet one. all the day long!
Ant now. Darling, do not ever again be afraid
That my love for you, Sweetheart, will ever

Last Friday about noon as Willie
Wampler, son Of Mr.. A. j. Wamp.
Ter Of this city, was coming in from
the farm Of ]. c. Thompson, situated
about seven miles west of Coroin, he
was bitten on the wrist by a dog.
judging from the appearance and pc.
culiar actions of the dog, it was
thought to be in the thrOes of hydro.
phObia. The parents as well as the
child were badly frightened and be.
gan at once to search for a maidstone.
Mr.. Wampler's family are residents
of this city and quite well known

whom he had selected for a wife and
wanted preacher to marry them.
He wandered down toward the Rock
Island depot about an hour ahead of
train time and felt sad when he was
told that the train was late. But he
waited. When the train finally did
arrive the lady was slow in getting
out Of it and a troubled look began to
crawl all over Ira'S face. Finally a
lady wreathed in smiles dismounted
and Mr.. Roberts smiled too. 1t was
his bride. He picked up her little

Much complaint is rife about the
use of cotton seed meal as a food for
cattle. The feed has been used in
this county to some extent recently
and in many cases, feeders say it has
proved to be injurious. At first the
cattle will not eat the meal, but they
soon learn to eat it and cultivate an
appetite for i. The appetite can
not be easily broken when once form.
ed. The food creates an intense
thirst which causes the cattle to
gorge themselves with water. The
effect in many cases has been to make
the cattle very sick. In some cases
they act as if mad or crazy and die in
awful agony. The food has its good
qualities but its bad ones seem to be
fatal if allowed full sway.

A Great Camp Meeting.

Elder W. H. BOles, Of Illinois, ar.
rived this morning and is spending
the day looking over the various
grounds proposed for the big camp
meeting which he has been engaged
to hold here. He will preach at the
Christian church tonight and every.
body is cordially invited to hear him.
He is very anxious to meet all the
members of the church. The camI
meeting will be held beginning
August 30 and lasting until Septem-
Der %. All the congregations of Dis
ciples in Sumner county and adjoin-
ing counties, and Christian people
everywhere will be urged to join in
this great reunion. Ample prepara-
tions will be made for camping, and
enough is known already to insure
that thousands Of people will center
in wellington at that time. Excur-
sions will run on all the railroads on
every Sunday while the meeting lasts.
Elder Boles has made national rep,
utation in this sort of work. His
wife, son and two daughters accOmpa-
ny him and lead the singing. They
make a great point everywhere in
developing congregational singing
The whole family, it is said, make a
great team. The location at this
writing has not yet been definitely
determined upon, but it will doubt
less be held in one Of the groves on
Slate creek south of the city.-Mail 8.

An Expensive Fire.

4 at two o'clock Thursday afternoon
fhe screaming of the railroad engines
{ and tber clangirg of the fire bell an
nouncCd another fire. There was no
difficulty in locating it. All eyes
turned to the Santa Fe freight depot
and beheld tie roof of it one mass of
fame. \ strong wind was blowing
from the south and it was evident
that the Sltety Of ali residences to
the north Uf the depot were in jeop-
ardy.
The fire company responded quick
ly; but were met with the same old
difficulty-the lack Of water pres sure.
There has not been a fire IN this city
Tor years at which the water pressure
was OnP-tpnth 0f what it should be or
what tl'e water company is required
by its franchise Ia furnish. But there
is very little use in harping on this
subject. Every child in the city
knows the facts: knows that every
year Wellington city pays out thous-
andS of dollars for what she contract
ed for but does not get. On the
other hand the water company, own
ed entirely by eastern capitalists, de-
mandS the very last penny the city
ever agreed to pay, but do not even
make a pretenSe Of furnishing the
value received therefor which they
contracted to do. They and their
representative in this city understand
very we'll that they are dealing with
the public who can act through the
public officers only; that these public
officers do not dU business for the pub
lie as they do for themselves. In the
past whenever an outraged public has
shown signs Of asserting their rights, |
this corporation has found no dfficul-
! ty, by one means and another, in !
thrOttling all complaints and in pre-
venting those in authority from doing
anything except to make a roar"
just for appearance sake. And al
though Mayor Savage has called a |
special meeting of the cOurcil for to-
night to consider this water pressure
question, yet we presume that history
will repeat itself in this instance.
At the time the fire broke out, the
depot was surrounded by freight cars. |
The switch engine succeeded in pull |
ing seven cars partly loaded with |
merchandise away from the fire.
They were all ablaZe. The fire boys
tried to save them. But fifty mir
uteS after the alarm was given, the
nozzle man standing at one end Of the
car could not throw drop of water
on the other end of it. While not en-
tirely destroyed, these seven cars are
ruined.
Six freight cars standing on the
house track just north of the depot,
together with their contents, are
total loss. The freight depot and all
its contents were entirely burned ur.
A vacant dwelling just north Of the
-SepOt caught fire; the flames had their
kwn way, A water pressure that
would throw only a few drops onto
the top of a box car would scarcely
save a building. Finally the tiremen
got up on their ladders and poured |
enough of water down on the fire to
save the wreck of the house.
The only loss we know is that of |
Holmes & Co. who had car load of |
navy beans burned. We presume all |
the loss to the railroad company is
fully covered as they carry the largest
insurance policy in existence or ever
written. 1t is sl7,OOOOOO and it takes
$4,000 annually to pay the premium

PUNCHING PLUG-UGLIES,

Great noise is made by good peo-
pie when a pugilist is killed at his
business. So strong is the feeling
against depriving the world of these
valuable citizens that their dangerous
business is threatened with adverse
legislation, and perhaps pretty soon
nothing but natural death or the
hangman will be allowed to tackle
them. Several Of these valuable
citizens have already been killed by
prize-fghting. Corbett said the other
day that prize-fghting had always
been picking out OF the vital spots
and knocking the spots of. The
past few months several boxers were
put in their everlasting boxes. Only
few weeks ago Con Rlordan, a
young man full of moral excellence
and jim jams, was knocked out of
time and into eternity by a black
guard named Fitz, and only the
other day man named Lavinge
socked the cold fits of dissolution
into Andy Bowen, an unblemished
citizen, who was full of virtue,
"onions, peas and pieces of meat :"
Humanity cant stand this much
longer. The peculiar nature of man,
by which he is distinguished from
cold bulfrog, cries out from the
ground against this frightful and
increasing mortality of plug uglies

THE WEISER SIGNAL.
rHURsDAY. JANUARY 10. 1896.

The SIGNAL has referred often to
the following style of argument used
In the east 70 down the silver ques-
ton. Note this from the Springfield
Republican:
There may be good reason why the sill
yer mine interests and farmers who are in
debt should favor free silver; but why "A
wage-earner should endorse policy which
would inevitably advance the prices OF
everything he buys long before his wages
could advance, is conundrum.
What sickening selfshness the
plutes exhibit every time they open
their headsi The sentiment that
seeks to keep silver down because it
keeps the prices OF the farmers pro-
ducts down Is sentiment tina. smells
to The skies in the land. Keep down
the price of farm products because it
lessons the cost OF living. Lessen
the cost Of living, because then we
will have to pay less to labor as living
wages. That is the whole gist Of
such reasoning and its results when
put into practice is TO throw the
whole burden OF the downward ten
dency of things upon the shoulders
OF the agricultural sinew OF the
country.

DANGER IN THE DISTANCE.

A dispatch which was sent out
about the time the present congress
convened had a paragraph which
went like this
The appropriations committee received
this afternoon from the treasury estimates
required To carry the income tax provis-
ion of the tariff bill into effect. The ap-
preparation for the collection of the
income tax will be Incorporated in the
urgent deficiency BILL consideration of
which will be ready on Monday and will
be Immediately passed. The eastern
members, irrespective Of party, will, AS a
rule, oppose the appropriation and the
debate will probably bristle with acrimony
And that paragraph is being car
ried out.
Another sample OF the disgusting
selashness Of the people of the East
and another argument that the people
of the West should drop all these
fine patriotic theories and follow the
same selfish lines that govern our
Atlantic neighbors. One poison
sometimes acts as an antdote for
another.
In the income tax those rabid
men of the Atlantic shore don't
see that it is going to be paid
by the West and the poorer
classes Of the East, and that is the
fact that is crosswise in their gullet.
The whole thing exhibits deter
mination to combat anything that
bears semblance of taking even II
portion Of the expenses of govern
ment from labor and putting it on
the shoulders of the nabobs, and
there is where the danger is looming
up in the distance.

A snide show has been travelling
over this part Of the country and all
that saved them the last night they
showed in Council was that the BOYS
couldn't get any rotten eggs.
A dance was given here on the
night OF the third for the benefit OF

1t has been raining for twenty-f -four
hours, melting the snow considerably,
but still good sleighing.
Byron Camp, from Meadows, is
stopping at the Hancock house; also
Mrs. Johnny Rogers.
Johnny Hancock has been quite
sick for few days but is up and
around again.
From the amount of talk going |
think there will soon be two or three
lawsuits in Council.
We had quite nice little stabbing
affray few days ago. 1t seems that
Mart WinkIer went to the house of
j. j. Jones in his absence and insulted
his wife and when Jones returned his
wife told him what had happened. In
Il day or two Jones run across Wink
Ter at the Middle district schoolhouse
where they had some hard words and
Jones put his hand in his pocket and
hit Winkler with rock. Winkler
then ran and Jones after him, when
the former fell down and Jones
popped jack-knife into him in good
shape. Rumor says if outsiders had
not pulled Jones of there would
have been first-class funeral. The
sympathy of nearly everyone is with
Jones.
Mrs. George Groves, daughter Of
Mrs. Mosier, is quite sick.

up ice just before the storm. Every

ever saw 1t is 10 to IL inches thick
