Western Union Sued For $500 by a
Fort Scott Woman.

Fort Scott. July 14.-Through her at
torney, Norman z. Hill, Mrs. Louise
Rogers, who resides on East Oak street
will today commence action in the dis
+rict co1lrt against the Western Union
Telegraph company for $500 damages for
the alleged failure to deliver telegram
announcing the death of her son in Ga
lena.
According to Mrs. Rogers claims, her
son, Thomas Rogers, who is young
man and has been working in Galena,
died on June q. The parties with whom
he had been staying telegraDhed his
mother of his death and requesting her
to come Immediately. She failed to re-
ceive the same, which she claimed is
through the negligence of the office here
and did not receive the sad tidings I'M
til ten days later, when she was APP
priced by letter, asking why she did
not answer the telegram. When the
letter was received Mrs. Rogers went to
the telegraph office and found the tele-
gram.
The company claims that her resi-
dence could not be found.

ssDEVlL TEMPTED ME''
Said Pastor When Caught Stealing
Oats For His Horse.

Hobart, N. Y, July 1.-THE Rev. DR..
Wade, for u years pastor of the Uni
ted Presbyterian church at West Kort-
right, has resigned. His flock gave him
the choice of resigning or being elected
from the pastorate. For some time
Wade has been getting grain chaf
from King McLaury, one of the chief
deacons. The minister used the chaff
for bedding for his horse.
Since the minister first began his
visits McLaury has been missing oats
from the bin in the barn and suspected
the minister.
Accordingly when the minister came
for chaff, Monday, the farmer watched
him through knothole in the floor and
saw him fill the bags with oats. Later
McLaury accused the minister of the
theft and he admitted his guilt, begging
for mercy and saying 1.-The devil had
tempted him. McLaury reported the
matter to the church trustees.

A M1sFIT ASSIGNMENT.
An Engineer WhOse EnRine-Room
Doors Were of Much Too
Limited Capacity.

A well-known chief engineer of fhe
navy who doesn't have to take any dust
from Gen. Shafter in the matter of av-
cirdupois-tipping the scales, as he
does. at trifle more than 300 pounds
was recently ordered to take charge of
the mechanical department of one of
the smaller gunboats on the Pacific sta
ton. The engineer, says the Washing
ton Post, didn't particularly like the
assignment, but it didn't worry him to
the point of suicide. He simply sat
down and made a sketch of the exceed
ingly narrow doors that lead into the
engine rooms of the gunboat to which
he was ordered, marking the dimen-
sions of the doors in figures on the
sketch. Below his drawing of one of
the engine-room doors this Jolly chief
engineer made neat sketch of him
self, full figure, not eXaggerating his
Falstaffian paunch a trife. He at
tached his own dimensions to feet and
inches circumferentially, to this sketch
OF himself. Then he put the sketches
in an envelope and respectfully sub
mitted" them to the bureau of naviga-
ton. lit was sort of document that
occasionally makes hit. The infer
ence to be drawn from the sketches
was so obvious-the imposibility of the
chief engineers passage through the
engine-room doors of the ship to which
he was ordered was so apparent-that
the assignment was recalled, and the
laconic chief engineer is liable to get a
flagship when the next batch of steam
engineering assignments is made.

SWORD IN A WINDOW.
How Rear Admiral Schley Saw Hiy
Philadelphia Present Ahead
of Time.

Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley
was walking down the avenue with an
old friend, also naval officer, and they
were looking in the shop windows in a
very democratic manner, when the ad
miral happened to glance in the win
dow of well-llnown jewelry firm, and
his attention was attracted to mag
nificent gold sword, says a Philadelphia
paper.
The two gentlemen stopped ard
looked in the window at the sword for a
few minutes and read the card which
was near it announcing that this

And in they went. The jeweler was
near the door and he recognized the
hero of Santiago at once. The sword
and case were taken out of the window
and placed on top of showcase, where
the admiral could examine it closely
His face was beaming with delight as
he handled it, and outside there was
gathering a large crowd of men, wom-
en- and children. whose faces were also
beamng, but they were not looking at
the sword. They were studying every
move and change of expression in
Schley's face. He did not seem to no.
tice them, and after examining the
sword and accompanying belt carefully
for about Is minutes he and his naval
friend walked off, with great crowd
following closely.

so much that she gave up copying and

too expensive for the slender purse of

to Il farm carrying a meager lunch in
her pocket, to sketch an animal. When
only 10 years old she sent her first pic
