A LEADING QUESTION.

A gentleman went into hotel in
the eastern part of the state, saws an
exchange, and told the landlord he
wanted to stay all night. ''You can't
do it," replied the landlord, my
rooms are all taken" ''Well," said
the traveller, Il cannot stay out in the
rain. Can't you let me stay some
way?" The landlord scratched his
head and then replied: s'Well, there
is a room upstairs with two beds in
it, with a curtain between them,
there is lady IN the north bed, but
the curtain will answer the purpose
of double room, maybe" ''Oh.
thanks" replied the traveller as he
picked up his grip and started up
stairs. The landlord showed him his
bed and bade him good night and
went down stairs. Pretty soon down
came the fellow with his shoes in his
hands, his collar and necktie ditto,
and his hair standing on end. "H hy
-th-that woman in The
other bed is dead!" Il know it," said
the landlord, s'but how did you find it

MAD DOGS AT DIGHTON.

DIGHToN, Kan, August Pa mad
dog scare exists here. 1t was started
by a dog which became mad a few
days ago and bit it's owners COW and
all the dogs in town except two. The
mad COW was killed and the county
commissioners were called together
in special session to dispose of the
dogs.
The commissioners ordered that all
afflicted dogs be chloroformed until
ed and drugged, but when the chloro-
forming party went to bury the dogs
it was discovered that two of them
had recovered from the effects of the
drug and had escaped. They ran over
the town and created a small panic
before they were killed Many head
of stock were bitten. among them ten
horses belonging TO one man.
The small son of Frank Maple was
bitten on the arm and was taken by
his parents to maidstone at Great
Bend. The stone adhered to the
wound for twelve hours, but the boy
is still in critical condition. Miss
Maude Marlin was attacked by COW
which had been bitten and was knock
ed down, sustaining painful. though
not serious, injuries
The authorities are making an ef-
fort to kill all mad animals as fast as
symptoms of hydrophobia appear in
them.-

A HOT TIME, ETC.
A WEEK OF WONDERS.

We are not very well up on astrol-
ogy and have no superf1OuS learning to
air but desire to remark that the an
cient heather may have not been very
far wrong in their superstitious be
lief that the course of the stars eX-
erted an influence upon the trend of
human events. These are dog days,
at least they are doggon hot, dry,
windy and dusty, and are so-called on
account of the simultaneous rising of
the dog-Star and Old Sol from July 25
to September 5. Through this period
they were supposed to act in concert
and were held responsible for the eX-
treme heat of the atmosphere and the
ill-temper of the populace but the
dog-Star, or Sirius as he is called.
came in for the greater share of blame
or condemnation for all the dire mis-
fortunes occurring during the season.
Whether Sirius has any serious influ-
ence in human affairs we are not pre-
pared to say but we are reminded of
the superstitious belief by a series of
local events which have occurred
within the past week:
Last Sunday, Joe Sherlock, inspired
by jealousy or some other mental eX-
citement, shot and severely mutilated
a fine blooded bull belonging to ThoS.
O'Toole. Mr.. O'Toole arrested and
brought Mr. Sherlock to town where
legal proceedings were instituted
which resulted in fine of $50 and 90
days in Jail for the Shootee. The bull
will die-a sacrifice to Sirius (too Sc
riouSl.
Sunday evening Jas. Connell and
Bella Chalk took pleasant drive to
Ellis. Arriving they took the train
for Kansas City where they were mar
ried next day. We do not charge this
to the dog-star entirely because the
fine moOn-lit evening was quite ap-
propriate for such a romantic esca-
pade. Thus fair Luna" and Venus
should accept share of responsible
ty. Mr.. Connell is we'll known here
and is to be congratulated upon his
securing one of the fair daughters of
one of our best families. Still, for the
life or US, if the stars had nothing to
do with it we do not see why the GER
emony was not celebrated here at
home so the many friends of the hap
py couple could extend their good
wishes in person.
For some time past the personal re-
lationS between Father Holmes and
Daddy Plath of Wilcox township
have not been the most pleasant.
Their claims are minutely contigu-
Gus, that is, they corner" To get
to his fields Holmes must go a long
way round or trespass upon corner
of Plath's jurisdiction. Plath claims
that Holmes drove his team into the
Kingdom of Piath one day the first of
the week. To stop this he swung
bucket in front of the team. No one
kicked the bucket but it seems that
Holmes got out of his wagon and
handed DIR. Plath one or two. The
doctor appealed to the county attor-
ney who, in consideration of the
dreadful carnage and dire effusion of
blood, had Holmes arrested on the
charge of assault with intent to kill.

DEATHS FROM FOOT BALL.
Seasons Record shows Six Gr;diron
EataIitieS.

The foot ball season just closed shows
more deaths and more serious accidents
than any season in the history of the game
The minor accidents have been fewer
The season opened September 24 and
closed with the Thanksgiving game be-
tween Pennsylvania and Cornell. During
that time there were five deaths and thirty
three serious injuries, while the minor ac-
cidents ran up into the hundreds.
The friends of the game, however. claim
that 5000 players have participated in
games during the season, which places the
death percentage at l in 5000 while the
serious injuries were 1 in 74S. This percen-
tage. they claim, is less than shown by
yachting, swimming, cycling, hunting and
other sports.
In many cases of accidents, such as
broken ribs and thumbs, the injuries are
not recorded The number of deaths this
year is unusually large, but foot ball is en-
the increase and this will account for the
larger percentage of deaths A peculiar in
cident is noticeable in the list of serious
injuries, the number comprising MANY diff
ferent kinds of mshaps The list ia as
follows:
Collar bones broken, 5; legs broken. 4.
ribs broken, T. skulls fractured, g. torn
ligaments of leg, 3: shoulder bones broken.
:. Nose broken. concussion of the brain,

INCURS ADDED PENALTY.
Prisoners Blasphemy and Threat
Overheard by the Court.

Richard. alias "Dickey," Bates, who is
known to the police a 'second-story
worker" and who returned from prison
three weeks ago. was in the Police Court
today charged with being a vagrant and
suspicious person. Policeman Mcdonald IF
the eighth precinct was witness against
him, as were several other officers. 1t was
alleged that since the return of the de-
fendant he has been under the influence of
liquor number of times, and has lived or
spent most of his time at the house of a
dIsreputable oman.
Attorney McNally, who appeared for the
prisoner, made plea for his release. He
argued that the man had been arrested be-
that a man released from prison has some
rights.
Judge Scott said he did not dispute coun-
sells statement and he hoped the day would
come when people would take ex-convicts
by the hand and endeavor to lift them up.
But" said the judge, when a man
wants to get drunk and make hog of him
with the door locked. The better the man
is the more likely he is to get arrested, for
II is usually the mean man and not the
jolly good fellow who goes off to himself
and has nothing to say
In conclusion the judge said the question
of the prisoner having served time IN the
penitentiary had nothing to do with the
courts sentence. penalty of so or sixty
days on the farm was imposed.

way to the dock, "rn fix you when 1 get

For this the court Imposed an additional
penalty Of $50 or ninety days.

ROY THOMAS SIGNED.
The Crack COIieEian Now on tn
PhiIIies' Pay Roll.

The Philadelphia Base Ball Club has
signed Roy a. Thomas, the crack amateur
center fielder, for next season. Whether
this means that the club anticipates MAX
ing a change in its outfield or not is not
announced.
Thomas started his base ball career at
the University of Pennsylvania, playing in
the Varsity team first in 1892. His re-
markaby fast fielding and wonderful hit
ting attracted general attention at once,
and several league teams made an effort to
sign him, without success. In 1893 he easily
led the colleges at the bat, and again in
1894 when he made the phenomenal bat
ting average of .632 for the season.
In 1892, '93 and '94 he played ball in the
summer at Cape May, but after gradl ating
at Pennsylvania he left Cape May to cap
tain the Orange Athletic Club team. With
the crack Orange team he batted .J5S for
the season against the best amateur clubs
in the country. He also played at Orange
in '96 81 and '9S and in the three years he
went throL gh the season in center field
without dropping a single fly ball. He again
played al Cape May in 1897 in few of the
more important games. Thomas is twenty
four years old. stands five feet nine inches
in height and weighs one hundred and fifty
pounds
