moralized to boot. Mr.. Dudrey's &C
count of the affair is as follows:
He retired Monday night. after tax
ing a bath, and leaving some of the
doors and windows open to admit the
air. When the rain came he closed up
the house, but thinks he night have
left the back door unlocked. About
O'Clock he was aroused by a noise, and
the first thing he saw was two strangers
in the room the was alone in the house
when retiring). One of them had dark
lantern and revolver that looked like
canon as 1t stared him in the face.
They grabbed him and pulled him out
of bed and onto the floor. One of them
put his knees upon Dudrey's breast and
hands on his throat, and soon had
choked and beat him into insensibiiity.
When he came to himself again he
found they had rified his pockets and
taken therefrom S3S in cash. He had
hung his vest with his watch in the
kitchen and they overlooked that. The
burglars are described as being white
men with their faces blackened, but
not their hands; one a short and the
other tall man, one with light mus
tache and the other smooth faced.
Dudrey was so badly demoraliZed that
he did not report the affair to the au-
thorities until about o'clock in the
morning.
About 10 O'Clock two strangers who
partially answered the description
were arrested by Marshall Ewalt and
Constable Dawson. They were taken
before Justice Jennison and an exam
ination began. The two prisoners were
drunk enough to be exceedingly
abusive, and ought to have been sent
to the jug on general principles. 1t
developed that they were a couple of
Ness County delegates on their way to
the republican convention at Larned,
Wednesday. and they were discharged.
So far no cleW has been discovered to
the real robbers.

some O. Dan'l's wife's reeklessness. In

settle her coffee mornings, when any
body knows the yolk is a plentyl just
think o. that! A half an egg saved
ev'ry day means one hundred an
eighty-two an half eggs a year.
That's fifteen dozen an two eggs, at
fifteen cents a dozen which comes to
two dollars an twenty y-eight cents!

she just laughed an went right on

"Then here's another thing: She
never cuts pie into but four pieces!

pieces, an it's enough for anybody
There's whole third of a pie wasted

cut wide! L tell you he WANT fetched

potatoes an apples the thickest of any
body ever saw! It just made me tired
of the whole west to see her set dowI

Potatoes are plenty in the west
