William Allen, the negro who
murdered Henry McMillen and
outraged his wife week before las;
at Wynn, was seen last week in the
county jail by Genius reporter.
When the latter had entered and
called for Allen a short, black fell
low arose from bench in the rear
of the corridor and came forward
to the bars that seperate liberty and
confinement. He had just left a
game of cards I'm which he had
been engaged with three of his
fellow prisoners He was smoking
cigarette. Allen is of medium
stature, probably not up to the
average. He may be IS or rs
years of age, and seems to be fairly
intelligent. His skin is of dark
seal brown hue, his shoulders a bit
stopped and his gait stumbling.
He was asked if he cared to make
any statement IN regard to the terri
bic crime with which he is charged.
He looked about for minute and
the turned and replied that he did
not want to say anything, as he did
not think it would benefit him any.
This was said in voice that showed
some uneasiness, there being an
audible tremor in it. He was APP
preached in various ways on the
subject, but would not be led up to
it, nor say word in one way or
another when he came to it.

MORE MAGNETIC HEALING.
Some Wonderful Cures Worked by Col.
4. e. Titchenell.

1t has been some time since we
published anything in regard to Col.
A. Coleman Tiichenell, the cele-
brated magnetic healer of Muddy
Creek Hill, and the Colonel has
been getting restless aud fearful that
we were going to let him drop out
Of public sight and lapse into a state
OF innocuous deseuetude. He has
been in to see us several times of
late and gave us an account Of his
wonderful cures by the laying on
of hands" and his magnetic healing.
As our columns were crowded, we
still neglected the Colonel until he
came in and subscribed for the
paper, paying cash in advance, and
now we cannot slight the Colonel
any longer We give some sample
cases as reported to us by the Pro-
fessor himself.

Harmed, of Muddy Greek Hill, who
had scrofula for fifteen years in one
OF her lower limbs, and it was badly
swollen up to her waist, being
thicker than stovepipe and with
sores on it six inches long. A short
course of magnetic healing gave
great relief and accomplished what
the doctors had failed to do. The
swelling all left, the sores disap-

cured to the great JOY of the long

HOIsINGTON HUMMINGs.
From the Dispatch.

From the Dispatch.
Farmers IN the central part of the
state are considering the advisability
of burning wheat stubble after har-
vest in order to kill permanently the
Hessian fly pest.
At meeting of the board of direc-
tors Wednesday night, 7. @. Straw,
Miss Maggie Bitner and Miss Mae
Woodburn were elected to teach in
the Hoisington schools next year.
One other teacher and principal are
vet to be elected.
Since the farmers haye cut into
their wheat they have found it much
better than they first expected. Many
of them who thought it would be
about three fourths of last year q
crop, are now satisfied their wheat
will be as good and in many instances
better, than last year. The wheat
this year is dry weather crop and
consequently there is little shrinkage
to the grain.
A most unfortunate accident &C.

young carpenter who was working for

see q man take a drink of "Csrrie's
