pleted to April l, 1900 show that the

two. cent stamps more sold this year
than last. The gain in the twelve
months from A pril 1893 to April 1899
was 81 ,98S.SO, which was remark
able gain. Notice, however, that in

examiner but he is so buried in work
that he could not get through with all
of them and so only twenty-five were
initiated But they were put through
in fine style. The Chanute team was
here and put on the team work
and also eXemplified the secret Work
and they were highly complimented
on the way they did it. A number OF
Workmen from Gas City and Moran
were here and after the initiation one
hundred and twenty-seven WoIkmen
scattered in delegations to the Alham'
bra, Our Way and New Baltimore
rest aurants and proceeded to devouI
everything in sight.

Would Die for Love.

Another manifestation of the strange
power over the youthful heart of the
sensation scheduled Glove" in the
guide books, was discovered Mon
day in .this city. Myrtle Dennis,
who works at the home of Mr. Lo-
baugh on south Jefferson avenue has
been keeping company for some time
with a young man named Brazendall,
and it seems she expected to wed him.
Last evening she went to the home of
John Hurd, next door north of thehOus o
where she stays, where he boards
and asked ii he was there. Mrs. Hurd
told her that the young man had gone
up town. She seemed to take this
tact as conclusive evidence that he
was false and was c.urting elsewhere
for she proceeded at once to swallow
all the poison she could find. BY
good luck she found good deal and
mixed up arsenic, strychnine, head
ache powders aud other things in
such quantities that they counter
acted each other. She took too much,
for half or quarter of dose would
have killed her. When the medicine
began to work she went into convuls.
ions and by the time the doctor reached
her side she was barely breathing
about twice minute. AntidOtet
were given aud she was carefully
guarded and nursed and today, al
though still very sick and in con
siderable pain, the chances are excel
lent that she will recover.

TT. Scott Monitor Since the Union
long distance telephone company
came ul der the control of the Kansas
Telephone company, Of which Grant
Hornady Of this city Is president, and
of which Ft. Scott people own a ma
jority of the stock, extensive improve
ments have been made OH the line for
the betterment OF the service. one of
the best moves made by the Officers
was in furnishing an all night service.
These improvements have just been
made and Fort Scott can now com
municate with lola, GiIard, Chanute,
Parsons and other towns at any hour
of the day or night. Heretofore only
day service was obtained over the
line. In making the change it was
necessary to transfer the exchange of
flee from Bronson to lola, where the
company has just put ia q fine new
switch board. An operator Is employ
ed there all night, thereby making 1t
possible to connect with other
towns from that point along the lines
Of the Kansas Telephone company.
The improvements along the lines
are also quite extensive and the stock
holders of the organization have gone
10 u heavy expense. A complete me-
talic circuit Is now one of the benefits
of the line vhlch greatly increases
the efficiency of the service. The

The world generally had accepted
the idea that the tramp had reached
q state of perfection on which none
would try TO make improvements.
But the tramp seems to have tried to
do something for himself successfully.
Sunday there came flying north
along the rails of the Santa Fo rail-
roaA a machine which was propelled
by a human being. The human beng
was tramp aud the machine was a
bicycle. The tramp rode the wheel as
it should he ridden, but had arranged
an iugenius lrame which permitted
him to spin along on top OF tho rall.
A long arm reached across to theOther
rail aud held the wheel in place,
guiding it along the rail and prevent
ing it from topping over. win lis
assistance the tramp simply llew
across the country, making time that
is seldom equaled by tue express
trains in this section. He rode up to
the south end OF the yards here, dis
mounted and quickly removed the
unusual features OF the wheel and
tucked them under his arm.
Word had been telegraphed here
from the south to look out for him as
the company wants to stop him, but
ne declines to be stopped; and the
road so far has no means swift enough
TO oYertake him.
