Sunday Use OF the Bicycle.

How shall the hicvcl be used on Sun
day? This question, DO doubt troubles
the Individual as well as the public
conscience sometimes. 1t is not ex-
actly similar to the use of railways,
coaches aud otber public conveyances
on Sunday. 1t stands on the same
footing that the use of horses on that
day does. Tha owner of a we'll rested
horse might benefit both himself and
horse by takir & a few hours exercise,
or by riding or driving to church.
When horse has lahortd bard for six

ought to have it. The bicycle needs no

THEY'VE STRUCK OIL.
Large Excitement at Bowling Green,
Mo-, Over Oil and Mineral
Discoveries.

BOWLING GREEN, Mo-, May 49,
There is great excitement among the
people here over the discovery of coal
oil and valuable minerals near town.
Yesterday Colonel Ike Stevens found
in pasture, one mile from town,
crude coal oil in considerable quanti-
ties floating on a pond of water. He
also found rocks highly impregnated
with the scent of kerosene. In the
same locality evidences of zinc ore
were found. He is 80 highly enthused
that he has already secured prospect
leases on 800 acres Of land, and is now
endeavoring to organize company to
sink shafts.
This sensation was followed up to-
day by the announcement that City
Councilman w. G. Mitchell has found
fine bed of clay containing alumni
mum, in large quantities. The bed is
16 feet deep, extends across tract of
27 acres and from that runs under an
immense hill. 1t is apparently prac.
tically inexhaustible.
Samples of the clay have been sent
to an aluminium factory in st. Louis;
also to Government assaylst, and in
both cases have been pronounced the
richest ever seen in this country. 1t
is expected that there will soon be ex-
perts from the Indiana oil fields and
Pennsylvania to examine these de-
posits and prospects.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; q sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition Of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
SO often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney reme-
dy, fulflls every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary pass
ages. 1t corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and extraordinary ef-
feet of Swamp Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for Its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. II

A Smart Dog.

DR.. j. J. Haley, of Benton City, ,<is
quite dog fancier and he especially
fancies st. Bernard dog. A few
days since the doctor, who, to make.
his dogs amiable, diets them on rye
bread, was sitting in his Office think
ing of the trials and tribulations
brought ON the alopathic school of
medicine by Gov. Stephens asylum
appointments, noticed loaf of very,
very stale rye bread lying under his
operating chair.
The doctor took the half loaf and
threw it out to his large st. Bernard
dog to worry with, but it proved to be
to6 hard and stale for the dogs teeth
so the doctor took it away from him
and gave the loaf bath in the wash
bowl in his office. This softened up the
loaf to the mutual satisfaction of the
dog and Dr. Halley's pocketbook.
A day or so after this episode the
doctor was again sitting in his office
idly watching his dog through the
open back door. He noticed the dog
leap the back fence with a las ye
bleached beef bone in his mouth. At
ter lying in the back yard some time
trying to worry taste of "cow" out
of the bone, the dog looked carefully
around to see that he was not observ-
ed and, not seeing the doctor, walked
stealthily into the office, deposited the
beef bone in a wash bowl half filled
with water and sunk back in sitting
posture to see the thing mellow up a
little. After about Is minutes of
waiting the dog fished out his bone
and nearly broke tooth on it when
he got it out in the back yard. The
doctor, in an unguarded moment,
broke forth in a hearty laugh, and the
dog, observing him for the first time,
slowly walked away and did not re-
turn for three days and then it was to
ignore all friendly advances by the
doctor. "Tbey meet as strangers

FRANK JAMES TALKS WAR.
The Centralia Fight the Hardest Ever
Fought.
From the Nevada tMo. +, Post.


OF the battle of Centralia, where
Capt. T. W. Todd, of this county, was
associated with Capt. Anderson in
command, Frank James talked to q st.
Louis Republic reporter:
A group of Confederate soldiers
were "fighting their battles o'er" in
the corridor of the Laciede yesterday
afternoon. In the party was Frank
James, who was with Quantrill dur
ing the greater part of the civil war:
"Talking about battles," said Col.
James, "the most desperate and san
culinary conflict In the history of civ
ilized warfare occurred at Centralia,
Mo. Twas in many bloody engage
ment with Quantrill, Shelby and
other dashing leaders, but never
witnessed anything half 30 terrible as
that Centralia fight. There were less
than 800 men, all told, engaged, but
nearly 800 of them were killed on the
field. A foraging party, consisting of
two companies of cavalry under COM
mand of Captains Bill Anderson and
George Todd, the biggest re-devils
in QuantrilPs band, were sent out
from Boonville in September, 1854.
There were only 225 of us in the party.
From a Yankee regiment stationed at
Paris there were sent company Of
800 men under Col. Johnson to run us
back to the south side of the river.
We heard they were coming with o
black flag and prepared to receive
them. johnson boasted to the people
at Centralia that he was going to an
nihilate US. We heard of this, too,
and thought we would go into the an
Inhalation business ourselves little.
We were ambushed in a strip of woods
Just outside the town. Early one
morning Johnson's command came
marching out toward us with q black
flag fiuttering at its head. We sprang
to our horses and took position in the
edge of thicket near the road. Some
of our men had not frightened the
girths on their horses as they had
been trained to do by Quantriil when
going into battle, and Captain Todd
made them dismount and remedy the
error. The Yankees saw us doing
this, and evidently concluded that we
were going TO fight them on foot.
Their entire command dismounted
ard poured volley into us while we
were remounti1gg.~ The volley went
wide of its mark, and then We charged
on them like devils. They sent storDf
after storm of shrieking bullets over
our heads rs we were dashing down
on them. We held our fire until we
were so close that we could see the
whites of their eyes. We were armed
only with pistols. At the first fire we
moved down their front line, and then
the second line turned loose at US. By
this time we were not more than 10
yards apart. On we went with the
fury of the wind. We ran straight
through their line, and so great speed
had our horses gained that we dashed
fully 20 yards beyond the enemy be-
fore we could check our animals and
go back to see what damage we had
wrought. Two hundred and eighty
FIVE blue coats lay dead in the road
and the fifteen survivors were scamp
ering through the brush. Only one OF
our men was killed and another, who
was wounded, died the next day. I
don't believe the annals of modern
war can show such a rate of mortality

O'Clock last night:
"Glasgow, Mo-, June 1, 1s63.-Capt.
Steinmetz, with fifteen men, ran into
a camp of bushwhackers three miles
north of Rocheport at sunrise this
morning. The rebels fired upon them
and a short skirmish ensued, our men
getting scattered and were driven
within three miles of Fayette. Four
of our men are missing. John Vance

the officers to act in conjunction with
the troops moving from Fayette, and
not to return until this band of ma
rauders was broken up, or as long as
Ghey could learn of an armed rebel in
that section. / also had messenger
dispatched to General Guitar, at Co.

from Columbia. I ordered Col. Green
to arrest Jackman's family and hold
them for the safety of Sergeant Vance,
reported captured by this band. also

morning to Captain Skinner at Renick,
who has a company stationed there,
to march Immediately in the direction
above indicated with all the available
force he could spare. Thus, by NOV
ing detachments from five different
points, hope by tonight to have the
section infested by these rebels so
surrounded that their escape will be
cut off and the band effectually broken
up. This band is the same which, un-
der Pulliam, lately committed the
depredations in Pike and Lincoln
counties. A few have doubtless join
