Beneath the Wheels.

Harry Robertson, a Brunswick
negro, aged 22 years, was run over by
Wabash train about 800 yards west
of the depot in that place at an early
hour Sunday morning andl killed. A
leg and an arm were cut off, and death
ensued from hemorrhage of the sever
ed members. He was dead when his
body was discovered about 1890 o'clock
a. m. tits supposed that he was run
over by the II:56 p. m. east-b ound
Atlantic express or by the 12:24 a. m.
west-bound Pacific express, Sbound for
Council Bluffs.
Robertson was under the influence
of liquor when last seen about II
O'Clock p. m. at which hour he started
east down the railroad track.
1t is believed that he laid down on
the track and went to sleep, but some
incline to the opinion that he was the
victim OF foul play, and that his BODY
was afterwards placed on the track, as
he had trouble with some other
negroes about two weeks ago.
DR.. C. A. Jennings, coroner, held an
inquest Sunday, but no marks of vio-
lence were found on the body'to indi-
cate foul play.

The New Railroad.

Prof Thos. S. CIanahan. chief OF
the engineering force who made the
survey for the Brookfeld. Keytesville
and Fayette railroad, reports that in
quiries have been made of him by the
Burlington route people, and the pro-
fessor seems to think that if the right
of-way can be secured the Burlington
will take hold of the enterprise and
push the road to completion. And
the Burlington people never under
take to do anything unless they do it
as it ought to be done.
Representative citizens of Brook
field, Marceline, Keytesville and Fay
etc will likely be called upon at an
early day to go to Brookfeld where they
will be met by Burlington officials for
consultation.
O.B.Anderson of KeytesviIle is now

Sensational.

A decidedly lecherous sensation de-
veloped at Brunswick last Thursday
night when a man caught his wife
coming out of store in which she had
been having illicit relations with anoth-
or man.
There were no arrests, and no
funerals followed in the wake of the
former s discovery of the faithlessnes:
Of his spouse, hence we call no names
The sequel so far is that the wrong
ed husbands wife has left town and
he has given her to understand that
if she ever returns to Brunswick he
will kill her.
The paramour in the case is mar
ried man, who has been indulging his
| aduIterous propensities for several
years.
1t is said that two young men are
also involved in the sensation.
Itwas expected for a time tha. *
| shooting scrape would result, bat nc
such tragedy has yet occurred, and
the recreant wife has had all of the
brunt of the blame and disgrace to
bear, while the three men involved in
the scandal, for ought we know, are
posing as lions of the hour in thai
community.
Why is such difference made be-
tween an errlng woman and men who
are equally as guilty, and more espe-
cially a man whose innocent wife and
children must bear the remorse that is
heaped upon them by husband and
fathers Iicentious conduct!
o, man! where is thy blush9
O, justice! where is thy consistency?

farm, south of the KeytesviIIe depot,

found on any farm in Charlton
county. They have 400 acres plant

patch of wheat which they harvested
this week. In size their corn ranges
from knee to waist high. Seven
double cultivators have been at work
most of this week. The ground is in
good condition and the corn is clear
of weeds and grass. All that is want

work q cupful of this delic-

Summer Time

Is the season when folks are
most likely to get sick. The
hot air seems to invite dis
ease. Most all summer sick
nesses can be traced to either
food or drink. The way to
keep we'll is to be temperate
in everything. Drink mod
erately of Blanke's Coffee

A club and a mask, supposed to
have been used by the robbers, were
found near the house the next morn
ing.
A great deal of excitement prevails
in that vicinity, and if the guilt of the
robbery is fastened on the three sus-
poets it is likely that the people of that
part of the county will attempt to take
the law in their own hands and deal
out swift and dire vengeance to the
offenders.

A Late Purchase.

On account of not being able
to procure a threshing machine
for all of the small demands Of
the college farm, it was found
necessary to purchase a small
thresher. The one ordered was
a Buffalo Pitt and it arrived last
week. 1t has a 24-inch cylinder
and is capable of threshing I, 900
bushels of wheat per day where
the crop will average IS or more
bushels per acre. 1t is manu-
factured especially for the needs
of the government experiment
stations of the land. It was
given trial last week on a small
patch of oats, and again during
the first part of this week some
vetches were threshed. The
work of the thresher was highly
satisfactory. The power was
furnished by small Russell
traction engine which was pur-
chased last year. With the ma
chine are various concaves and
blanks, which are necessary in
the work of the college farm.
1t will thresh all kinds of, grain,
clover, timothy, cheat, vetches
and beans, and as there are
various little patches of all kinds
of grasses and grains to be har-
vested in order to gain a knowl-
edge of the yield per acre, etc.,
the little Pitt will be found a
great convenience and saver
of money.
