have for kissing. Recently a dispatch

that Prince Bismarck was enjoying
himself at Kissengen, adding that he
had kissed young lady. The young
lady in question desired, it appears, to
kiss his hand, but the man of 'blood

A HUMAN BRUTE.

Monday about o'clock Mrs. Bolan.
a widow woman whose home is about
miles north east Of Ellinwood,
stopped at Walnut creek on her way
home from Great Bend, to eat dinner.
She had a little daughter between 9
and 10 years old along with her. Send
ing the little girl to Fred Whites house
for a bucket of drinking water, hrs.
Bolan took her horse down into the
creek to water it. The horse got mired
IN the mud. Four young fellows came
along about that time, and three of
Them assisted Mrs. Bolan In getting
the horse out of the mire. The little
girl not coming back, the mother be.
came uneasy about her. and left the
horse to search for the girl, the three
young men joining in the search. They
found her in the clutches of the human
fiend who had been with them when
they first came up. He was just in
the act of criminally assaulting the
child. The three men jumped on him
and kicked and pounded him into in
sensibillty, leaving him more dead
than alive.
Mrs. Bolan came back to the city,
reporting to the officers about 8 o'clock.
Doctors Lightfoot and Connect investi-
gated and found the child had not been
hurt.
Three of the men say they were from
Ellsworth, here hunting work in the
harvest; that they fell in with the
other man, who gave his name as Syl-
vester, at Ellinwood; they knew moth
ing more about him, but gave Deputy
Cone description Of him. We under
stand number of men offered their
services to assist in the capture of the
attempted ravisher, but their assist
ance was not wanted. AT latest report
he is still at large. If he escapes cap
ture and punishment it will be dis
grace to the community.

In THE face of the fact that the
United States is experiencing the
hardest times in the history of the
country, the republican congress has
spent the largest amount of money
ever spent by any congress. The
party has committed this profigacy,
too, against the protest of the dem
ocrats and oyer the veto of a demo
cratic president. 1t cannot be poss b g
that the wage-earners and producers
| of the land will endorse at the polls
this unwarranted extravaganza. Over
515 millions of dollars have been
appropriated greater than appropri-
atoms made in any one-half session of
congress during the civil war.
The best thing we saw while ia

August 18th and hear Marshall's
famous band, as arrangements are
being made to have it there.
