Drew a Verbal Salary.

Col. Leslie Davis, director of the
tour for "a Wise Woman" company
the laughable comedy in which Frede-
rick Murphy is being starred. relates
this story on that gentlemen:
An actor came to Murphy and ap-
piled for an engagement. There did
not seem to be much need of him, but
his demands in the way2of salary were
very modest and the comedian said to
him: ''Well, you may consider your.
self engaged. guess can find some
thing for you to do. Come around or
Tuesday and I'll try you.
The newly engaged man looked al
Murphy questioningly. ''How about 9
contract?', he asked.
"Oh, never mind, contract; wei
have verbal contract"
There was look of mild reproacb il
the eyes of the man as he answered
sorrowfully: "Mr. Murphy. the las
time made verbal contract, drew
verbal salary"

The Brute Still Lives.

On Tuesday evening of last week,
between 6 and o'clock young
negro named Will Salters criminially
assaulted a young white woman, Mrs.
VIM. Thomas, at her home in Sterl.
ing. He was arrested and fully iden-
titled an hour. after the crime, was
locked in the city Jail that night.
given preliminary hearing the next
morning and sent to Lyons to the
county Jail to await trial in the dis
trict court.
A Barton county man who was
there on Wednesday says there was
but little excitement over the hineous
crime; some quite talk of dealing sum-
mary justice, but more loud threats
on the part of the tough negro ele-'
ment as to how many white men
would bite the dust should the brute
be lynched. That may be Sterling's'
way of looking at such ofenses. but
in most any other town in Kansas the
result would have been different.
The Sterling Journal gives the follow
ing report of the preliminary trial:
Assistant County Attorney Johns
ston was sent for and a preliminary
examination into the case was imme,
diately made.
Mrs. Thomas testified that few
minutes after her husband left the
house some one came to the window
and pointed revolver at her, de-
handing that she blow out the light
or he would kill her. Thoroughly
frightened, she obeyed. and before
she could make q move to defend
| herself the man came In at the door
and told her to 60 into the bed room,
where, in the face of the weak de-
tense she was able to make, the vii.
liam crimlnally assaulted her, all the
time threatening to kill her with the
revolver if she resisted or made an
outcry.
After he had accomplished his pur.
pose, the fellow left the house. saying
he would kill her if she eyer said, a
word about it.
As soon as she thought he Was out
of the gneighborhood, Mrs. Thomas
went for her husband, and finding
Salters talking with him, she recog-
nized him SIS the fellow who had just
assaulted her. She says there can be
no mistake, as she had a fairly coed
sight of him by the light of the fire
in her house. Salters wore a fur car
of a peculiar kind, and red sweater,
and if the woman could see him at al
| while in the house. there is strong
probability of easily identifying him
I She says she also recognized his voice
as that of the negro who ate dinner
at her house only few hours before
Salters had about a dozen mel
summoned to prove an alibi, bu
4 could find mo- one who could swea
| to seeing him between the hours of
and z, when the crime was committed
He bears bad reputation in town
and circumstantial evidence point
very strong to him - the criminal.

Jetmore, Kans., July 1st.-Mrs. Anna
Jones Freeman, daughter of Mr.. G. G.
Jones Of Burdett, and one of the most
popular ladies in Hodgeman County
has been a martyr to headache for
years. 1t has made her life continual
misery to her. She suffered pains In
the small of the back, and had every
symptom Of Kidney and Urinary Trou-
BILE.
Today she is as well as any lady in
the state.
This remarkable change was due en-
tirely to a remedy recently introduced
here 1t is called Dodd's Kidney Pills.
and many people claim 1t to be an in
fallible cure for Kidney Diseases,
Rheumatism and Heart Trouble.
Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. and almost with the first
dose. she grew better. In week, her
headaches and other pains had gone.
and she had left behind her all her
illness and days of misery.
A medicine that can do for any one
what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for this lady. is very sure soon to be
universally used, and already the de-
mand for these pills has increased
wonderfully in Pawnee and Hodge
man Counties, where the particulars of
Mrs. Freeman's case and its cure are
known.

A July 4fh Dancer.

II seems a pity that some way Of
celebrating the Fourth of July can
not be found that will give the
youngsters as much pleasure as the
present noisy proceedings furnish.
without all the suffering and loss of
life which these noisy proceedings al
ways entail. The Chicago Tribune,
last July, published some figures gath
cred by its correspondents throughout
the country, which figures showed a
loss of one hundred and forty-one
lives as a result of the, celebration of
the Fourth. A good many battles are
fought with no greater mortality than
that.
OF these one hundred and forty-one
deaths eighty-three were from lock-
jaw.
This disease is caused by a germ
which exists in the soil in many parts
of the country, and which develops
rapidly when introduced into wounds.
1t requires peculiar conditions for its
growth, however. One Of these is that
the air shall not have free access to
it.
There is very little danger of lock-
jaw. therefore. in clean-cut, open
wound, and as rule, 1t is only deep
and Jagged wounds that are followed
by the disease. 49,
Wounds of this kind are produced by
stepping on nails or splinters of wood.
by crushing injuries, and especially by
Fourth Of July casualties caused by
toy pistols. exploding cannon crackers,
torpedo bombs and other dangerous
noise-makers. Explosions from these
things tear the flesh and so mangle 1t
as to produce innumerable little hooks
where the germ may grow, well shell
tered from light and air.
The wounds are almost inevitably
contaminated with dirt, which is ground
into them by the same force that pro-
duces them, and this dirt may contain
the tetanus bacillus.
The surgeon who is called to see such
a wound is kind only when he is most
cruel; for he should cut ruthlessly in
every direction, exposing the entire
surface of the wound to the air, leav-
ing no pockets that can retain the Sc
cretions and give opportunity for the
fatal germs to grow.

The coIoneI.s Interpretation.

Col. Ebenezer Sproat, of Revolution
airy fame, was born and bred in Mid
Ileborough, Mass. He was always fond
of joke. and was quick to seize an
opportunity to indulge his propensity,
as the following incident, related by
Doctor Hildreth, well illustrates. His
father, also a Colonel Sproat, kept
tavern. One day while Ebenezer was
at home on a furlough, three private
soldiers, on their return from the seat
of war, called for cold luncheon.
Mrs. Sproat set on the table some
bread and cheese with the remnants of
the family dinner. which her son
thought rather scanty fare for hun
CRY men. He felt little vexed that
the defenders OF the country were not
more beautifully served. The soldiers.
after satisfying their appetites, asked
him how much they should pay. Eben-
ezer said he would ask his mother.
He found her in the kitchen.
Mother" he said, how much is 1t
worth to sell those bones?"
About shilling, / guess" she an
swered.
The young officer returned to the SOL
diers, and taking from the barroom
till three shillings, and smiling genial
ly upon them. gave each man one. and
with good wishes sent them on their
way. Mrs. Sproat soon after came in,
and asked Ebenezer what he had done
with the money for the soldiers din
ners.
In apparent Namazement he ex-
claimed, Money! Did not ask you
what 1t was worth to pick those bones,
and you said a shilling? l thought 1t
little enough, for the bones were pref
ty bare. and | handed the men the
money from the till. and they are
gone"
Mrs. Sproat could not find heart to
reprove her favorite son for this mis-
Interpretation of her words, and then
she. too, loved joke. and so. after an
instant's glum look. she laughed and
said 1t was all right.

LiffIe EreckIed Face.

The grand procession marched all arrow
Through the town In brave array.
But somebody else enjoyed the show
thousand times more than they.
On his gallant steed rode the captain
bold,
A splendid sight to see.
But somebody else. II the truth were told.
Had prouder Fourth than he.
And the band. too, all the afternoon
Discoursed its music sweet.
But somebody's feet played merrier
tune
As they followed it down the street.
And the brightest thing that glorious day
Was a dear little freckled face
That peeped from under the curls astray
And the torn hats jaunty grace
For when we measure delight and Joy.
This rule is the surest one:
That the very tiniest little boy
Holds the largest share of fun.
