-Dial-Entorprise: A young man
from Excelsior made the startling an
nounccment Friday that the skeleton
of an infant child was known to be
lying on the river bank at the mouth
Of Knapps creek, in Richland county

suggestion Of Dist. Atty. Howe went
over to investigate Albert Muillcy
accompanied him. The supposed re-
mains were found all right and were
brought back to this city in a sack,

Lancaster claims to be right in
line with the most up-to-date towns
and TO be entitled TO all the distinc-
ton that towns that have kissing
bugs are entitled. Mr.. Chas. Harvey
has brought to this Office an insect
which is believed by some who have
seen it to be the genuine article. So
far as can be discovered it corresponds
exactly with the pictures of kissing
bugs given in some Of the newspapers.
1t is a beetle about IN inch in length,
rather slender and Of q grayish brown
color. 1t was found by Mr.. Haryey's
daughter on the stair bannistcr. She
received quite fright from putting
her hand on it before seeing it.
Viola Intelligenccr A report is
alloat again 70 the effect ihat the
Kickapoo road has been sold, this
time to the Chicago Milwaukee q st.
Paul company, and we believe the
rumor as authentic as its predecessors
on the subject II is more probable
however, that the road will be bonded
for a large amount and cXtcntion
made next season TO Galena, Illinois.
1t will take a million dollars TO make
this extension and there is an out
standing Indebtedness against the
road Of million dollars or about
$13, 600 per mile This would give
through and nearer route to Chicago
and might (perhaps, maybe, | hope
SOL give rs some sort of mail service.
