Mrs, Richard Bruuazi returned
from Coheevile, Kansas, a few days
ago where she went to be at the
graduating exercises of her niece,
Miss Louis Frier a little brunette
beauty who visited Mrs, Brunazi a
year ago at this place and who
made many friends here. Mrs.
Bruna2i, in conversation with a re-
porter, said that she was in Cofley-
vile at the city election, and that
the ladies who were entitled to vote
in Kansas turned olt to the polls
and elected sweet Miss as city
clerk, another lady city treasurer,
She said the election passed Off
quietly without any hair pulling
and that the gentlemen who stood
about the polls always fell back
with their hats olI, when femiuinity
pressed forward to the ballot box.

A Dead Man Brought to Life.

In Paris recently a man was re.
vived whose heart had actually
stopped beating, A daring surgeon
cut through the dead mans ribs,
grasped his heart, set the blood in
circulation, and the man breathed,
opened his eyes and lived. 1t is
probable, however, that the rally
will be of short duration, although
this detracts not at all from the
miraculous nature of the deed, If
he had kept his bowels regular dis.
ease could not have attacked him.

Eastern exchanges tell of ras,
cal who is playing a new game after
the following fashion: He goes in
to a store and claims to have the
same name as the proprietor and is
afraid things will get naked up, as
be is going into business. In case
goods are delivered there by mis-
take, will the merchant please take
charge of them until he comes and
takes them. The stranger then
goes to wholesaler and orders a
big bill of goods, usually jewelry.
The goods are sent. The sharper
comes along and takes them away.
As the good natured merchant has
received the goods and has allowed
them to pass from his hands, he has
to pay for them.
