Funeral or John Grant.

The body of John Grant, who died at
Antelope Wednesday, arrived here this
afternoon, accompanied by large num-
ber of friends. who came in to pay their
last tribute of respect to their old friend.
Mr.. Grant was born in Scotland about
81 years ago, but has resided at Antelope
a number of years. He was unmarried,
but at his bachelor headquarters the
latch-string was always out, and the
typical hospitality of the West was al
ways on tap.
Mr.. Grant was whole-souled, bonny
Scotchman, and when few months ago
he was told his days were numbered, he
went back to his work apparently OBJ
livious of the fact that he had but few
days to live. Generous, just, with a
broad love for his fellow man, John
Grant passed through the world and out
of it, and today his neighbors have cor
rowfully followed the -inanimate clay for
sixty-five miles, that tomorrow they
may attend the funeral.
The interment will take place IN Sun
set cemetery, the funeral services being
held at the Episcopal church tomorrow
morning at 10 O'Clock.

lThe chance booth seemed to be the
favorite resort, and much amusement

A private letter received by friend
in this city tells OF the death of Miss
S. 6. Kreh biel, who was teacher in
the academy in this city during the
years 1891-92, when Prof. Ingalls, was
principal. Her death occurred at Cleve-
land, Ohio, on the 25th of Octobszy after-
long illness. Miss Krehbiel will be
rememb bered as a woman of unusually
fine education, and one whose broad
sympathies the community where she
moved can lily Sford to lose.
An exchange says: "The letter in
which President Mckinley introduces

THE DEAD BROUGHT TO LIFE.
sRemarkable Case Reported From Scar
borough.

A case of most remarkable nature ls
reported by ]. H. Howell, commercial
traveller, who returned to this city from
a trip to Astoria yesterday afternoon.
1t contains some horrifylng features
which seem almost impossible, yet the
truth of the story is indorsed by the
Astoria Budget of last Tuesday,
Among the employees at the Scarbor-
ough Head, where the government is
prosecuting some work, was man
named Lucas. Monday he was working
under chute, where concrete is being
made, when in some manner the struct-
ure collapsed. This with all the con-
crete it contained fell on Lucas, bury
ing him out of sight. There were a;
number of his fellow workmsn about
who witnessed the accident, and they
Immediately set to work to rescue the
unfortunate man. It was some mo-
ments before Lucas inanimate form
was reached and taken out. To his
friends present it was apparent that life
was extinct. There was no surgical aid
available but the workmen were posi-
tive that he had been fatally crushed.
However, such tests as they could COM
mand were used, but Lucas showed no
signs of life and was pronounced dead.
The officials at Scarborough head were
then notified that fatal accident had
occurred, and there being no cemetery
there, arrangements were made to take
the body to Astoria for burial. 1t ar
rived in that city Tuesday evening, con-
singned to an undertaking firm. DIR. j.
H. Fulton, who is retained by the gov
ernment as physician and surgeon, was
notified of the matter and proceeded to
the undertaker's place of business for
purpose of examining the body of Lucas
to ascertain what were the injuries that
caused his death, and to make proper
report to government headquarters.
| Probably DIR. Fulton in all his exper-
fence professionally was never more sur.
/ examination made the startling discov-
cry that it was not dead man that was
| lying upon the operating slab, but live

/ looked ut Lucas he had all the appear

when he placed his hands on the sub.
ject that his suspicious were aroused
for the body did not feel like that of &
dead person. DIR. Fulton then made .
closer examination and could detect
faint beating of the heart. Life wai
there, and he at once set about to slim
ulate it. An ambulance was immedi
ately called and Lucas was taken to tn,
hospital. where several doctors wer

consciousness.
As the cloud cleared away from Lucas
brain, he began to Inquire as to his sur
roundings. He remembered nothin
about the accident, and for long tim

ing was saId to HIM regarding the sup
position that he had been dead.
After life had been restored the doc
tors made a thorough examination of
Lucas. They found that one of his legs
was broken and he had received some
injuries about the head that caused his
long spell of insensibility. None of his
injuries are of particularly serious ma
ture, and as soon as his broken leg
mends he will be able to be about

WE ARE frequently asked: evil
there be an extra session of the Kan
sas legislature this month"; We hope
not. With the record the last legis-
lature made it is unnecessary to at
tempt anything further until next
year in the way of railroad legislation.
All other questions can also rest for
another year. We believe the result
of the acts of the last legislature will
meet with the approval of the people
at the polls next fall, and the same
men then serving will pretty generally
be returned for another term to COM
plete the good w"rk so well COM
