this, Mickey, have they lnVlnted amy
new DISEASES lately?"
"Faix, they have" replied Mike orac-
ularly. "Thc wise min have invinted
two horrible diseases - appendycutus
and atheromatous deginerashun."
"And what's this appindy-somethin'-
or-tother like, Mickey? Does it break
out on We like the masles or the small.
poX, or how?"
'No, thin, it do not" replied Mickey.
Eye musht know, father, that some
where inside of livery man, where ye're
all twisted up like the roots of a grape
vine, there's a dinliy little thing like a
warrum the doctors call vermiform.
Well, for all their wisdom the doctors
can't find out what this is for, dye
see, except to make people ak foolish
questions. Shure il has no more use in
a mans body nor q mosquito. They
have another name for this, and it is
appendix, do ye mind, which names
stuck on where it oughtn't to be, bein
of no use, like a burdock on goat
Well, this vermiform has queer thricks
intirely. 'Tis hollow, and it jist sits
around inside of a man waitin' for a
grape-seed or carpet tack, or some
thin small and hard to come along
and swally's the thing, whativer it may
be, and thin yer name is Dinns.'
"Arrah, Mickey, me lad" exclaimed
Mr.. Finn, "but that's terrible dis'ase.
It's horrible, so it's! But where is it?"
continued Mr.. Finn, anxiously, eXplor
ing his ribs and contagious" regions
with his fingers, and already feeling
incipient appendicitis.
'Tis no use feelin' for it, father"
continued little Mike, with mournful
shake of the head. "Yell niver see it
till the doctors show it toye."
'And how viii they get it?" inquired
Mr.. Finn.
They'll cut a hole in yer body and
take it out and show it to ye But
that's all the satisfaction ven have,
for ye'll die anyhow on account o. the
hole they cut in ye."
"Millia, murther!" exclaimed Mr..
Finn, devoutly crossing himself and
trying to recall the last time he had
swallowed a grape seed or carpet tack.
But tell me, what's that other dis'ase
ye were sp'allin about? Is it catchin' ?'
"No," replied Mickey, smiling to
himself in the darkness at the fear he
had inspired in his father. "Atherom-
atous deginerashun is a diguacious
dis'ase intirely, and it's mighty hard
on min over 40 years old"
Dye tell me that, Mickey?" cried
Mr.. Finn, in alarm, as he realized that
he had already passed his fiftieth year
stone. "And what's the m'anin' o thin
quare words?"
"Now listen close, father" said
Mickey, placing his right forefinger in
the palm of his left hand; cts nolledge
I'm givin' ye. The word atheromatous
is Greek, and it m'anes chalk The
Greeks have a quare way of wastin'
letters, dye see, father, whin they use
eleven letters where five would do as
well; so there ye are, as the bull said
whin he tossed O'Shaunnesy over the
wall. Now ye have the half of it ex-
planned to yer satisfaction, I hope?"
"Yer right, Mickey" said Mr.. Finn,
admiringly. "Ye'll be ly'yer one O.
these days. But what's the m'anin' O,
the other big word?"
'De-gin-era-shun," continued little
Mike, sis quare word, very quare
word. Yell notice it's longer nor ath-

CLASH OF AUTHORITY
Ends in Major Tom Anderson Having
His Way.

There was a clash of authority at the
gate to the fair grounds last night
about o'clock. A large wagon contain
ing supplies for the militia drove up
and started to drive in, but was stop
ped by order of Maj. Tom Anderson.
The wagon was held for minute and
word was sent to Major General Chas.
McCrum, who is in command of Camp
Leedy.''
The major general arrived and Or
dered that the wagon proceed. Maj.
Anderson said they would not go in the
gate until he knew what was in the
wagon. McCrum said he was in COM
mand of the militia camp and ordered
the wagon to again proceed.
Major Anderson informed the driver
that he was in command of the
grounds and that wagon will not enter
till know what is in it," The inSpec-
tion was finally allowed and the wagon
was found to contain nothing contra
band and it proceeded.

Some of the Displays of the Santa Fe
Parade.

FROM the Newton Republican:
newton VIII nave as fine displays in
the parade at Topeka on Santa Fe day

hoat illustrating their work, which is a
work of art.

picture of Sunf1ower, Immediately be-
low it is a picture of the ideal Santa Fe
girl. The bottom picture on the front
OF the float is a picture of a farmer
holding bundle of wheat in his hand
and mechanic standing ON each side
of him.
On the rear of the float on the top are
the words Middle Division" below

les OF the division: Emporia, Strong

Nickerson and Dodge City. On the sec
ond tier from the bottom is a picture of
the roundhouse and on the bottom is a
picture of the new machine shops, with
the words division Headquarters.

credit upon him.

the real garden of Hesperides.

BATTERY BIS HARD DAY.
The Artillerymen Had Nothing to
Eat for q Hours.

The camp of Battery B was a deso-
late place yesterday afternoon and last
night and the men were suffering some
of the genuine hardships of life in camp,
the principal one being the lack of any
thing to eat from breakfast yesterday
morning until about o'clock last night
There was a complication with refer
ence to the distribution of rations and
the members of the battery found them
selves with nothing to eat all day.
Then again the camp resembled that
of a gang of Texas pony riders owing
to the fact that the men worked all day
breaking the horses to drag the cafs-
sons from place to place. The animals
were new and exceedingly green and il
became necessary for Capt. H. M. Phil
ips to go over to the camp of regulars
and secure the services of a hardy cav
alryman who succeeded in Subduing the
most refractory one of the horses.
The camp is in better shape today
and the men are really beginning to
enjoy the novelty of the situation. They
We're almost ready to nlutiny yesterday,
so nearly were they starved.
