Arkansas City,

From the Daily Traveller.
John Hanneman, who was injured by
the coal bin falling on him yesterday,
rested well last night and this morning,
accompanied by William Bogardus ne
was taken 10 the Topeka hospital Only
one leg was crushed, and that below the
nip joint, and it is believed that ne will
recover. Mr.. Hanneman has been with
the company for fifteen years or more,
and has never had a dement, mark
against him He was always on time
and mis- work was properly attended To-.
There is talk of starting a subscription
for his benefit.
During the day the reporter conversed
with score or more who felt the earth
quake last night. They were all of the
opinion that it was more violent than the
one experienced here and throughout the
county about eighteen months ago. a
majority thought it's course was from
south TO north, while a few located its
direction from east to west, and others
from north 70 south. This difference Of
opinion was probably caused by the diff
ference in the location of the sleepers.
Those who thought it came from the
north were those whose sleeping apart
ments were on the north side of the
house. Its arrival was accompanied by
sounds variously described as distant
wind, the explosion of small boiler at
some remote point. and by others as the
lifting of a stove lid by the explosion of
accumulated gas in a coal stove The
time Of the disturbance is variously esd-
mated at from 1885 TO :05 a. m. the Diff
ference being readily accounted for by
he difference in timekeepers.

In Towns About
Winfield.
From the Daily Courier.

From the Daily Courier.
A very serious accident occurred near
Dexter Wednesday afternoon. Jackson
Snyder, a farmer living near Dexter,
was driving to town, and when attempt
ing to cross the Missouri Pacific track
at about O'Clock in the afternoon was
run into by the west bound passenger
train. II is evident that Mr.. Snyder at
first intended to check his team and not
try to cross. He then found that ne
could not hold his horses, and so he at
tempted 10 force them across. The en-
gineer checked the train, but thinking
that the team was held in he started I'D
again The engine struck the back end
OF the wagon, throwing Mr.. Snyder head
long possibly ON to the end Of the ties
wound or the head, besides several other
serious bruises.
Mr.. Snyder is an old resident o. this
county and is highly esteemed by all
who know him, and this sad accident is
iamented by mis- many friends. He is
quite an old man, being probably IS
years Of age, and ii Is considered doubt
full if he rallies from the shock.
The shock Of an earthquake was felt
in Winfield last night, and everybody
wore sort Of dazed look this morning
Some OF them, probably those whose
consciences were not quite easy, seemed
to be still shaking from the effects, and
all sorts Of questions were propounded
concerning il. Some contended that IL
was big blast of powder at the rock
crusher. But, as later in the day Ii was
learned that the shock had been felt
nearly all over the state TO greater or
less degree, the theory was gradually
blasted and the people came 10 the con-
clusion that they had really felt an earth
quake. The shock occurred about 1
o clock this morning and was felt with
more Or less intensity owing to the con-
strucriOn of the building occupied, and
lasted for probably half a minute.
Buildings were swayed, doors and win
dows ratified, and a general rumbling
noise was heard. The Wichita Eagle of
this morning speaks OF an earthquake
shock felt at the city building which
scared the prisoners and those who oc-
cUpied the building. but could learn moth
ing more from other sources. Reports
come from Chanute and from Yelling
ton and from other points verifying the
supposition that 1t was a real earth
quake.

duel. and that Clay blamed him for reck-

oncerned about Graves's safety, he having
heard that Cflley was a fine shot, he said

being used to such weather, would probably

friends must postpone the firing as long as

him little because of the cold. Graves said
CIay's advice was taken and the facts all
point that way.
1t. may be Of interest to know how the
papers of that day treated this affair as a
matter of news. The Globe. the evening
OF the duel, related the facts thus:
FATAL DUEL.
This evening MIR. Cilley. of Maine, fell in
a duel with Mr.. Graves, of Kentucky, both
members of the House of Representatives.
They fought with rifles, and Mr.. Cilley was
shot through the body on the third fire, and
died in a few minutes. Mr.. Graves had
been the bearer of letter from James Wat
son Webb to Mr.. Cilley which the latter
refused to receive. Mr.. Graves demanded
the reason, which Mr.. Cilley declined CIV
ing. Mr.. Graves then challenged Mr.. Cilley,
which produced the melancholy result an
nounced."

The Mountain of Hearts: A Fable.
GOdav'S Magn zine

A man dwelt with his wife in such peace
and comfort that, when the day came for
him to stand beside her dead body, he made
no lamentations and shed no tears.
In his heart he said: Il have nothing to
regret / have made her very happy in life
she has told me so--she has not found me
wanting. Remembering joy together,
let me bear the loss of her with patience
until the day comes for me to JOIN her
His friends, looking at him, marveled at his
Some time later this man died, and his
soul journeyed to a strange land; and in
that land was great mountain.
At first the mountain seemed to be Of
stone, but when the man looked closely he
saw that it was heap of human hearts.
He turned to one who was guiding him
and asked whence came these many hearts.
They are the hearts of all who once lived
upon earth" said the guide.
He looked at them more closely. Some
were hard like stone. some soft within, but
SCARED and bleeding with tiny scratches;
others whole but for some great, terrible
cash, partly hidden None were perfect.
Among them he saw a heart which had
many old scars, and these old scars were
torn and lacerated again and again with
new wounds in the same places:
Because it was such a pitiful heart he
asked an explanation of his guide.
THAT heart belonged to a woman whom
'She was always smiling and joyous. and
was beloved by her husband; but her heart
was very tender and he often hurt it,
though he knew it not. She smiled and hid
1t bravely for she knew he loved her. and
again and again he hurt her in the same
places. but she only smiled and hid the
wounds. Often they ached and burned until
it seemed in the night sometimes as though
she must waken her husband and tell him
of her pain; but he slept soundly, and she
thought, why grieve him? He will not
understand"
The man wept as he listened, and said
to his guide:
TELL me the name this woman bore; for
perchance / may have known her."
Then the guide told her name; and the
man bowed his head in silence.
