A PREACHER EDGED.
Rev. Clark Bratton Falls Under the
Ban Of SpirituaIists.

Delphos. Kan. Aug. 28-Rev Clark
Bratton; who has been holding meet
ings here in the public park, was rot
ten-egged last night. it is supposed. by
friends of the Spiritualistic campneet-
ing which closed here a short time ago.
He was not injured in the least Fx-
Mayor John White was hit on the arm
with egg with a bad Odor during the
assault.
The eighteenth annual campmeeting
of the Kansas Spiritualist society was
held here recently. Since that time
Rev. Clark Bratton has been holding
meetings in the park and answering
some of the challenges which the camp
meeting gave out. This offended the
Spiritualists greatly, and the rotten
egging is supposed to have been a re-
suit of the trouble. No arrests have
been made. The minister and ex-
mayor have had their clothes cleaned.
but there is a great amount of injured
pride here just now, and something
more of interest may happen.

A Mystery In Blindness,

policeman who had just told him TO take
the next green car.
Then you ought to get dog" retorted
the policeman.
This may have been smart from an
official point of view, but 1T reminds me of
the fact that very largo proportion of
men are moro or less color blind, and that
some are absolutely SO. Whether the de-
feet is natural one or whether 1t Is q
quality of ignorance that might have been
avoided by proper culture 1 have never
seen satisfactorily explained 1 myself
cannot distinguish green from blue at
night nor tell certain shades of red from
brown or blue from purple at any hour of

least to me-that the absence of the knoWl-
edge OF color does not necessarily destroy or
even weaken the Judgment of harmony In
colors. have seen tho experiment tried
at the water color exhibition, where man
practically absolutely color blind and al
most as totally ignorant of pictures was
able to pick out with as much accuracy as
any artist present the best pictures of the
great and varied display. Inharmonious
colors In dress are as sharply offensive to
my eyes as I actually knew the names
of them and could distinguish them.

signs of hydrophobia yesterday morning

been killed before this time. The horse
was very gentle one, and had never
shown any vicious traits until yesterday
morning, when he made a determined
effort to bite the man who was feeding
him. Fortunately the man got out of
the way of the beast, which went into
commissions, foamed at the mouth, and
made such furious efforts to escape that
it required the strenuous efforts of sew
