Where do thegossips and scan
dial mongers, get their informa-
ton? This is a mystery to ordi-
nary people. A Burlington man
told the writer lately that the
best news gatherer in town, (as-
suming gossip and scandal to be
newS) was a woman who was
such an invalid that she seldom
left her bed and never got out of
the house. She had but few call
ers and but one other person to
depend upon for her information,
and yet knowledge of the private
affairs of Burlington people was
so complete as to be astonishing.
In every community there ssuch
a woman. There was once one
in this town who was an inv aid
and old and ugly. She was gen
orally Stunned by the people and
had no callers, and her husband,
who was heartily disliked, to
whom very feweven talked at all,
and with whom no one was ever
confidential. Yet that old woman
knew all about the private affairs
of people, with whom she was
not even acquainted. She was
such cyclopedia of information
concerning things of the most
private character that people did
not confide even to relatives, that
many, were afraid of her. How
did she get her information?
Did she simply absorb it from
the atmosphere? 1t would seem
so.-Burlington Republican.

DR.. J. c. Brownfeld, who is be-
ing tried in Eldorado for alleged
perjury in the case of Jessie Nor
rison, lived in Topeka, nine years
ago. In those days he wore a dia-
mond sunburst on his shirt-front
which revolved by means of clock
work inside somewhere-Topeka
Herald.
The same ''Dr. Brownfeld" who
raked in the shining shekels from
Gray county people, claiming to be
able to cure any disease to which
the human body is heir. He is a
colossal humbug.-Cimarron Jack
sonian.
The same ''Doc Brownfield' was
in this city about two years ago with
medicine show. He made all the
towns along this line. Since the
above paragraphs were written, the
''Dr." has been convicted of per-
jury. The minimum sentence is 7
years in the penitentiary.
