a little ghost story Is fresliener. 1t
gives zest to the limpid form sweleering
| in the toTrid temperature But there are
certain things true as gospel, no mat
ter how much We may dIsbelieve them,
whether from misunderstanding or in
credulity- 1t rs trle that nothing is lost
in this world, even the grin of your face
may be preserved in the ether space aboye
and it is certainly true that the horrors of
murder Hnger long after death to haunt
the place where the crime was commit
ted. The phosphoreseent light in
graveyard is caused by the organic gases
escaping from deeomposed body. This
vivid fame disports in The atmosphere
like shirts on a clothes-lfne, in brisk
wind, and whether in your. Imagination,
or in imitation of the forms from which
they escape, they appear like living is
sues. but disappear when you approach
them. There is gainsaying these
kinds of ghosts 1t is only problem in
scientific research But the apparition
yo1 observe, or the groan you hear from
the spot where suicide a murder was
committed, is problem in pyschical
knowledge. a noted woman this
country, some months ago, was travelling,
and was placed in room where pre-
viously a suicide had taken place. For
two nights, in her sleep. she experienced
or witnessed the agonies of the self mur-
derer. The landlord of the hotel was APP
pealed for change of room. and the
third night, in different room the lady
guest slept without disturbance. The
circumstances were evidently in proof
that here remained IN the room the per-
cipient of the suicides ghost like form,
his lament, his plaintive walls and his
horrible death tones. In Dodge City
many murders have been committed, and
in some business houses and some
down town streets, there are the skele-
tons of these nightly blood dealt victims.
We have heard of no phantoms. in dis
tinguished and gentle air, with green and
glistening eyes, with body dressed in
plaid cloak and knee breeches, uttering
from grinning mouth, with muffied face,
a sort of gibberish unknown outside of
the uneanny world; but have heard
of the groans of the dying, the coarse
gutteral tones of the voice the blood
gurgled in the choking larynx, You
may not need go down in the dark re-
cesses of cellar, but you may set out IN
the calm stiffness of midnight, and 1istea
and you may hear the death-rattle, the
choking blood-tone, while you dose in
the ambient air. You may not see it and
you may not hear it, but the spectacle of
all human departed forms hover around,
whether in your wakefulness, or whether
you in the elysian embrace of NOR
pheus. Then you may wake up these SEN
tinels of the night and confer with them
these apparitions of phantom homes,
who come out and linger long. like the
truant boy after the tap on the Curfew
bell, or after the midnight hour, when
only is heard the policeman's tap on the
pavement. But we caution you not to
seek too ardently for these lingering
lights of the dead, for you may feel a
breath of cold air, or invisible spook
may take you unawares. and send cold
chill down your spinal column and freeze
you on the spot.

Lyman Naugle, the former editor of
the Voice, is now running a Republican
newspaper at Point Richmond, Califor-
MIA, is the Republican postmaster there,
also the grocer and real estate agent of
the new terminus of the Santa Fe.
The above facts are made clear by a
copy of Naugle's paper recently received
by DIR. Il. a. Mayhem.

Remarkab.a Changes.

Many things have been noted to indi-
cate the change of Climate on the plains
of Western Kansas. One of the most
marked of all is The present effect of
Western Kansas ar on fresh meat. All
of the old plainsIaen will testify that up
TO say 1873 a quarter. of buffalo other
meat might be st=ung up outside i'm the
hottest of weather and that it would keep
pure and sweet for indefinite period
In fact the carGasses of buffalo left on the
prairie did not putrify animal matter
does elsewheas, but they simply dried mp
and shriyelcd away. Now meat will
spoil IN Western Kansas as quickly as
anywhere else. The nicro5e of decom-
position has arrived. else the in
creased hcsaidity of the atmosphere has
something to do with it.
In this connection a writer in the
Dodge City GLOBE calls attention to an
other curious phenomenon. Up to
something like fifteen years ago the to-
mato plant grew most Iuxuriously, but tt
but it bore f. nit. TAe Dodge City
man says he has grown tomato plants
six feet tall which lowered prolificalIy,
but refused to bear Now tomatoes are
raised in abundance on the same soil and
under the same treatment.
One of the most wonderful things that
used to be observed by the hunters anGk
other pioneers upon the plains the
pertsnacity of the sunflower seed i'm
searching out place to grow. Let the
buffalo grass sod be disturbed in the falk
and the following spring would find
sunhower growing on the spot Tho
government surveyors often dug out bit
of sod in locating their township corners
There might not be sunfiower plant
within ten miles; but sure fate there
would be one growing al the sod -broken
spot in the following year. The wasting
of buffalo carcasses often rotted the sod,
and here, too, sunfower would soon-
find its way.
But curious anything is the way
the grass known stblue stem'' has OF
late years been trespassing upon the buff
falo sod 1t seems though civilization
must bring a full equipment of every
sort TO take the place of what nature
planted in the wilderness. Like the BIZ
son, whose name it bears, the crisp and
curly grass of the plains seems doomed
to ultimate extinction. The bbae-s STEM
rank and ragged growth, FIRST plants
itself in the low places known the
draws, or in the marsh like depressionR
which originally buffalo wallows.
and then, insidiously. year by year, IL
crecps up the rounded sides and over the
domain of the buffalo sod, ever conquer
ing, however slowly. The rancher who
has a bit of blue-stena that can be mewed
for hay finds that with each succeeding
year its area has grown larger. In some
regions the bnffalo sod has almost been
entirely expelled. That it is perishlDg
as other things have perished before civ
ilization Is manifest TO every observer
