j. Steffy Killed.

A telegram was received from
Wichita last Thursday stating that ].
Sicily, foreman OF a Santa Fe bridge
gang, who formerly resided in this
city, was killed on the Wichita &
Western railroad while at work that
morning.
Sicily was in Wellington several
weeks ago. He worked the greater
part OF last winter helping tear up
the tracks Of the Wichita & Western
through Pratt county and bad been
spending most of his time this sum-
mer working west OF Wichita on the
W. & W. He owns residence property
in the Fifth ward. His wife is some.
where in the Strip. They have no
children.
The Wichita Eagle Friday morning
gives the account OF how ]. Sicily OF
this city, met his death at Cunning
ham yesterday: "Mr. j. Sicily, fore
man OF bridges and buildings on the
Wichita and Western railroad, fell of
a bridge half mile west Of Cunning
ham yesterday and broke his neck.
Instant death was the result.
The bridge gang had been repair.
Ing the bridge aud had about com.
pleted their labors and were piling
some OF the old timber on a hand car.
Mr.. Sicily was standing on one Of the
cross beams Of the bridge helping to
put some of the old jOist and plaDks
on the car. 1t is not known pOsit-
lively whether he backed of the tres
tie he was standing on or IL he was
pushed from his foot hold by one OF
the boards. The latter seems to be
the theory acceped by the wOrkmen.
Tie creek was dry and full OF sand.
Mr.. Sicily lit on the back Of
his head and as he was a man
weighing over 200 pounds the force
caused instant death.
"Ihe remains were brought to this
city and were embalme1 by Under.
taker Dunbar. He was shipped to his
home in Wellington for burial. He
leaves a wife and three grown chill
dren."

A Modern
Lazarus,

Inherited blood diseases are much
more difficult to cure than those which
are acquired. One of the most common
hereditary diseases is Scrofula, which
the medical profession admit is mos
obstinate and deepseated, and their ef
forts to cure it meet with little success.
A child afflicted with Scrofula is always
puny and sickly, and can never grow
into healthy manhood until the diseas.
is eliminated. Scrofula leads into con.
sumption nine times out of ten, so thai
it is important for this reason that i'm.
mediate attention be given to all chill
dren who inherit the slightest faint.
Mrs. S. S. Mabry, $50 Elm St., Macon,
Ca, writes:
my boy, Charlie, inherited a scrofu.
lous blood faint, and from infancy was
covered with terrible sores, his suferingt
being such that it was impossible to
dress him for three years.

GOLD MANUFACTURED
CLAIMS TO HAVE DISCOVERED

Unaduiterated Gold Worth $50
an Ounce-Other News Items.
Will Manufacture Gold.

The klondike. the rand of South Africa,
the Comstock lode or the fabulous mines
of the Aztecs will not be worthy of men,
ton when the Chicago gold factory begins
work. About October 10 Edward C. Brice
will start up his works, and, he says, will
turn out gold by the ton.
Mr.. Brice has reduced his proposition to
science and only uses two ingredients
antimony and lead. He clames to have
discovered the process of nature in form
ing gold. He believes and has demon
strated in small way that gold is a pro-
duct of volcanic action. In his plant he
expects to reproduce the forces of nature.
His chief furnace is a miniature volcano.
The attributes of heat, air and natural
substances of the earth's formation are
united in great eruption and fusing pro-
cess, and out of the combination comes
gold, pure and unadulterated gold, mar
llctable at the assay offices of the treasury
OF the United States at $50 an ounce, and
Mr.. Brice will, if his volcano does what is
expected of it, turn out 1874 ounces day.
That is $3.50 every twentyfour hours.
Besides gold he will have small proper
ton of silver, about twenty-siX ounces to
each l34 ounces of gold.

THE CEREAL CROPS.
Final Estimates on Yield Given by
Orange Judd Farmer.

Final Estimates on Yield Given by
Orange Judd Farmer.
The Orange Judd Farmer, in its final
estimate of the years wheat crop, says
that figures based on actual thrashing re-
turns indicate total yield ot $50, ,O00. 900
bushels, of which 373,00o,OO0 bushels is
winter and 215,47O,OOo bushels spring
wheat.
With the exception of Illinois and Mis-
souri, the winter wheat yield represents
the full capacity OF the soil. Tie spring
wheat yield in Minnesota and the Dakotas
has proved disappointment, the aggre-
gate being only 129,ooO,0CO bushels. The
shortage there is in measure counter
balanced by the good yield in Nebraska,
Oregon and Washington.
The report says the corn crop is exceed
ingly disappointing. The outside estimate
is 1850, ,0000 900 bushels. Drouth during the
past two months reduced the average con-
dition from S2.3 a month ago to 7S.9 on
October 1.
An average oats yield of 2S.7 bushels
per acre suggests crop of 100000
bushels, 100,000,000 more than last year.
