THE SHAM BATTLE.

The original plan was to have a
battle between company of the vet
Grams of McCOOk Post and the lola
and FIT. Scott companies of the Kan
sas National Guard. The old boys
concluded it was little too warm for
them, and they never did go much on
sham battles anyway. So not having
any enemy to train their guns upon,
the two companies gave an exhibition
drill first, and then a skirmish drill
which had enough noise about it and
running back and forward and lying
down and charging and retreating
and firing at will and firing by COM
pany to make it easy to imagine what
a real battle,-a very little battle-is
like. These two companies, "F'' of
Ft. Scott. and I'D" of lola, constitute
the third battalion of the First Reg;-
ment, K. n. q. Company f. muster
ed SO men, and Company D. AZ. AS

Capt. Martin, of Company f.
was in command of the battalion.
The FIT. Scott boys are pleasant, gen.
tlemanly fellows and everybody APP
preciated their courtesy in coming
and enjoyed their visit.

story of old Nina, while Ernes
listened with a curious and attent
i've ear.
"What means all this?" he said
when the girl had finished, stamp
ing his boot into the mossy
ground in his perplexity.
" 'Tis riddle 1 am unable tt

'No; my opportunities of inves.

Conversing in this strain, Ernest
and the maiden descended from
their rocky observatory to the little
garden which contained the reputed
grave. There they found old Nina,
who corroborated what she had said
before.
Ernest pondered deeply on what
he had seen and heard, after gath
ering all the particulars he could
from the old woman. The dark
and fearful thought flashed upon
him, involuntarily intruding itself
upon his excited fancy, and he ex-
claimed, musingly-
"Can it be possible-bad and
abandoned as she is reputed to be
that she would stoop to the per-
petration of so black crime as

"A new book of 135 pages by Marvin Warren.
BY irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity OF all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues.
The author holds that our financial and in
di.strlal woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out a
way to speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be OF immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of the party, and in making new
converts everywhere.

CHI APTER XIV,
"The spur hath lanced his courser's sides;
Away, away for life he rides:
Swift as the hurld on high Jereed,
Springs TO the touch high startled steed."

'The spur hath lanced his coursers sides;
Away, away, for life he rides;
Swift as the hurld on high Jereed,
Springs TO the touch high startled steed'
Byron.
Ernest was perplexed for some
time to determine what step he
should pursue, being convinced that
all was not right, and that Mrs.
Darby and her clique were privy tc
some dark and hidden crime.
He at length determined to pro
cure the aid of a legal officer, and
investigate the supposed grave.
Consequently the coroner and
several persons, who were sum.
moned to assist in disinterring the
dead, appeared on the ground and
commenced digging at the place
previously pointed out by old Nina.
After digging awhile, Pat Nc
Cleary, who was the first man with
the spade, shouted out
"Howly Mother! there's the cof-
fin! !" crossing his breast reveren-
TALLY as he struck his digger down
against a hard substance in the
bottom of the pit.
"Clear away the dirt, Pat, till
we discover what it is" said the
impatient Ernest, and all drew close
around the scene of Pats labor,
with increased interest. The son of
green Erin did as requested, and
soon removed from the bottom of
the pit the broken lid of decayed
box, containing the remains of a
child partially decomposed. A lock
of its tlaXen hair still adhered to
the CHASTITY skull, and by the size
and appearance of the bones, they
arrived at the conclusion that the
tenant of the tomb was about three
years of age at the time of its death.
A surgeon was summoned, who,
upon an anatomical examination of
the remains, pronounced the subject
a female.
After the inquisition had been
gone through with, the grave was
again filled up, leaving the sleeper
of the tomb in undisturbed repose
for the future, The trial that had
been raging for few days previous,
at the county seat, with doubtful
success, must soon draw to close.
To have it postponed till further
light could be thrown on the sub
ject, was all important to the de-
PENDANTS, and Ernest lost no time
in taking the steps which the cir
cumstances of the case seemed to
call for. Arriving at home, he
hastily wrote synopsis of the
events that had transpired, and
calling groom, gave him the letter,
ordering the fellow to spare neither
spur nor whip till he delivered
the epistle into Mr.. GreenbeIry's
hands. The hostler, tempted by a
reward, and the vanity of display
ing his equestrian skill, was soon
astride the fastest nag about the
premises, and laundering over the
road at rate that promised speed
lily to bring him to his place of des-
tination-the county seat.
He entered the streets of the town
at a rate equalled only by the COB
lin hOrseman in one of ScOtt's
ballads
''on right and left fed past, now fast,
Each city, town, and tower!"

Suddenly Killed.

Arthur Simpson, aged about 40 years,
was in town last Friday afternoon and
took on a supply of tanglefoot that
eventually led him to kingdomcom g..
A young son of j. II. Norris, Al miles
south east of town, was at work in a
field when he saw Simpsons team
going along the road in fast trot.
Simpson was leaning oyer the side of
the wagon. as though reaching down
after something-probably the lines -
when the boy saw him pitch head-tirst
out onto the ground. and the wagon
pass over him. The boy ran to the
house near by and told his mother.

The Circus Wrecked.

The Lemen Bros. Show train met
with an accident near Hutchinson Wed
nesday morning. whereby two men
were killed outright and several badly
hurt. The wrec4 caused a delay. and
the show did not get into Great Bend
until the middle of the afternoon. The
large crowd oh the streets in the fore
noon were impatient, but good natured
about it. When the show train arriv-
ed here all was connection. Some of
the paraphenalia had been destroyed,
and the whole form of several hundred
people was so demoralyzed that the
managers decided it would be impossible
to give a show here. So the cars were
not unloaded, and the show departed
that night for Lyons, where they show
today. The managers seemed to be
gentlemen. paid their bills promptly,
and promised 10 be in Great Bend at
some future date. If they do, they
will get a good patronage.

3 II BEARINGS for Trolley Cars.

It has been suggested, says Elec-
tricity, that economy of operation OF
electric street railroads would be
subserved by placing the wheels on
ball bearings, and experiment has
shown that the starting tongue re-
quired on car so equipped is very
much less than on other cars. II
seems to be only question whether
the cost of introduction and main
tenance of ball bearings is not
greater than the cost of the energy
that would be saved by their use.

ONE good republican was in town
the first of the week, hotter than a
mink, because in about two-thirds OF
the townships the republicans failed
to nominate township tickets. He
suggested that the sheriff get out with
a search warrant and hunt up some
= republican committeeman. Boys, no
use getting hot about il; this is free
silver county. and the people are
going to elect that kind of officers.
Then, too, in most townships there
will be two tickets-democratic and
populist-aDd if you have no rebubli'
can ticket you can take your choice
between these two-it does not make
any difference to us which one you
vote, as by voting either one you will
please the silver advocates, and help
elect good township officers.

The case of r. Weir against ". W.
Madison, charged with embezzlement.
was dismissed in the justice court last
Saturday, at the costs of the proses
cutting witness. Madison had been
buying wheat for Weir, at Otis, and
was discharged by Wehr on the ground
that he-Mallison-had disobeyed in
structions and paid more for wheat
than authorized. After Madison was
discharged Wehr claimed that an ex-
animation of the books showed Malli-
son between $500 and $1,000 short. The
arrest followed on Thursday night last,
and the preliminary bearing set for
Saturday. Madison .made a showing
that he could not make final settlement
until grain which. he had shipped but
had not yet got returns for, was sold
and paid for; and upon this showing
the case was dismissed at Wehr's cost
as above stated.

HEALED WOUND OF HEART.
Success of an Unusual Operation
Patient Lived Nearly Three Months.

At the London Clinical, society
Mr.. W. @. Spencer recently showed
a specimen of healed wound of the
heart. The patient had been stabbed
in four places, and was admitted
puiseless and unconscious. Infusion
of saline fluid, etc., was employed,
and he went on well for a week.
Then hemorrhage occurred, and Mr.
Spencer passed his finger through
the wound in the second left inter-
costal space, and touched large
vessel with low tension, and whir-
ring current with each systole. The
wound was firmly plugged. The
plugging had to be renewed again
and again, on account of fresh bleed
ing and the plug became extruded.
By the 9th day the plug was all
pushed out, and only a superficial
wound remained. This healed in
six weeks from the accident, and
nothing abnormal was heard in the
chest, except faint murrnur, as in
anaemia. The patient continued
weak and anaemic, but attended a
long trial, and eventually sank ex-
hausted 70 days after the injury. At
the post-mortem the scar in the left
intercostal space was seen to cor
respond with another in the pericar-
dunn, and this again with a linear
depressed scar, five millimeters
long, on the surface of the right
ventricle. Then opposite to this, on
the endocardium, was a fine blush
line. This was thought to be the
scar of a firmly healed perforation of
the ventricle, and was just below
the pulmonary valves. There was
no sign of any other vessel being
wounded, and no clot ms ide or out
side the heart or great vessels. The
only question raised was whether
the weapon had actually penetrated
the endocardium (the scar on which
was very fine), and the hemorrhage
came from branch Of the coronary.
The question OF suturing was men
toned, but Mr.. Spencer said it was
difficult to fix the direction of the
wound Record.
