Mrs. Annie Jenkins, of this city, ha:
inst completed the task which gave
DIR. Tanner such worldwide fame, a
quarter OF a century ago, fasting forty
days. She did it to reduce her weight
which was becoming oppressive, The
experimental treatment was a success
and she is now so pounds lighter than
when she adopted the heroic regimen
1t is said that after a few days the
patient lost all desire for food, and
her appetite did not return till the
4Oth day. She resumed her ordinary
habits by swallowing small quantities
of Cruel and partaking vi but two
meals a day.
The carnival of the Woodmen OF
the World will be held in this city in
the first week of September. Already

of preparation. A vote on queen is to
be inaugurated, in which the lady who
can command the longest-pursed ad.
admirers will win. five cents being
charged for each vote. Ballot boxes

The latest report received yester.
day was that Tracy was again "sur-
rounded" this time in y lonely cabin
near Covington, but when six deputies
stormed the fortress, it was empty,
and like the mysterious snake, re-
corded in U. F. of F. U. annals, his
disappearance can only be accounted
for on the hypothesis that he had
literally swallowed himself, for GER
tainly he did not pass out the hut.
So far as any authentic knowledge of
the movements of the desperate are
concerned, nothing of a positive ma
ture has been reported since his leav-
ing the Gardner ranch last Sunday.
Why is it that any person OF com.
mon sense should be so lost to personal
propriety, to say nothing of respect to
Others, that they fill their pocket with
peanuts to MUNICH in the theater, is a
surprise to all people who possess the
least claim to refinement. 1t was bad
enough when young boys in the gal.
lery disturbed the pleasure OF others by
the crunching OF shells and littering
the aisles with them till they resem.

adults-young men and young wo.

There was a shrewd joke played
upon crowd of young folks who were
engaged in charivaring a newly
wed couple, the other night on Cham
bers' Prairie, by Jesse Martin and
Aida Wright, groom and bride, who
had just moved into a house, when
they quietly stepped out the back
door and fastened to the residence OF
the brides father, on an adjoining
farm, but the crowd got q glimpse of
the fleeing couple and followed them
to the house OF the brides father
where they kept up the noise but
this time they slipped out of this
house and went home and were moi
seen by the boys and girls who com.
posed the party. After they had KEEP,
the noise going for some time Mr.
Wright, the brides father, stepped &c
the door and thanked the young peo
pie for the unexpected courtesy, bu,
year or more would have to elapst
before his golden wedding Anniversary
rolls around, but he thanked them
just the same for their thoughtful re
gard. The crowd dispersed with tn.
understanding that nothing should be
said OF the matter.
