Bile for destroying a barn and several
hundred bushels of grain.
1t struck the barn of Dr.. Brown,
and at the same time, just a block
away, a bolt hit the chimney on the
house of Ewing Stumm. That stray
bolt must have been out for a time, as
st cut all sorts of .capers, from burning
out the electric light wires and leav-
ing them in the dark, and incidentally
frightening the family, to destroying
carpets by scattering SCOT all over the
floor and tearing paper off the wall
Not content with this innocent little
pastime it slid down the back roof and
jumped onto the screen attached to the
kitchen door. It didn't do a thing but
tear a hole in the screen door, and then
took piece of the frame work out
without interfering with the rest of the
construction.
But that isn't all it did On either
side of the chimney which it went slid
ing down like Santa Claus, hung pic
lures, one large one of Mckinley, and
a smaller one of Bryan.
Ewing had just finished decorating
the Mckinley picture for use at the
Burrows meeting next Thursday, and
he expected that it would be ruined
but he was mistaken. That Mckinley
picture was not burned or disfigured in
the least. But as for Bryan His por-
trait was mutilated, discolored, dis

A MORPHINE WRECK.
Taken in Charge by the Police-ToId
to Leave Town.

Crazed by the excessive use of NOR
phine, Grant Dougherty, a man who
used to be a respectable, and hard
working man, was arrested last night
by Patrolman Mcdowell, and the
charge on the police register put
against him of morphine crazy
Dougherty's case is a sad one. He
has gradually sunk lower and lower
until now he is wandering pauper
mentally unbalanced by the drug.
When he can secure sufficient NOR
phine he is comfortable, but when
without it for a short time he be-
comes a. raving maniac.
Yesterday JaKer Hopkins was called
to the Fifth Avenue hotel to take
charge of the morphine fiend. The man
had come to the hotel Sunday night
and sat down in the office. Having ia
ken a good dose of the drug he soon
fell asleep, and was aroused yesterday
morning with some difficulty.
Jailer Hopkins took him away and
started him toward the depot, telling
him to get out of the city as soon as
possible, else he might have to crack
stones, and that without the aid of the
narcotic. Dougherty promised to
leave. But the gnawing of the I'M
natural appetite for morphine began
and he soon lost control of himself.
Last night Patrolman Mcdowell was
called to arrest a Iunatic. Dougherty
was locked up inthecity Jail. This know
ing he was allowed to go on promise
that he leave the city Immediately.

Democratic Nominees Said to Have
Used Money at Independence.

Used Money aG Independence.
Kansas City, Sept. 8.-The Star last
evening says: The use of money in the
recent Democratic county convention
at independence will he brought to the
notice of the grand jury and it is likely
that more than one nominee of that
convention may be tried for bribery.
Some of the defeated candidates and
their friends made charges openly
that they would not have been de-
feated if their opponents had not
bought delegates. It is said the buy
ing and selling was done so openly in
the convention that the delegates of a
ward or group of delegates from differ
ent wards would pool together and ap-
point one of their number as a broker
to take so many dollars for the deliv-
cry Of so many votes fQr any candi-
date.
