Two North Side Deaths.
mankind

The Claf1in Clarion of the 9th inst,
recounts the following:
The usual number of unfortunates
are beginning to show up among the
harvest hands. Last week man
was found dead by the railroad track
just east of Bushton. Nothing to
idedtify him was found on his person
but several dollars in cash was found
in his pockets, and judging from the
nature of his wounds, it is. supposed
that he was deadheading a ride and
was thrown from the train.
Then on Sunday as E. H. RAIDER
and NJ, D. Little were coming TO
town they discovered a dead man
lying close to the track just west of
the Cow creek bridge. They came
to town and notified the authorities,
and Deputy shefif Powers, accom-
panied by assistants, brought the
body to town. Apparently he was a
man about forty years old, with light
blue eyes and light hair slightly
sprinkled with gray, and smooth
shaven. The form was frightfully
disfigured; the heel of his right foot
had been cut off and no less than a
half dozen horrible gashes was cut in
his head any one of which would have
proven fatal. Nothing was found on
his person by which to Identify him.
The cause OF his death may have
been robbery, which seems probable,
as nothing outside a few cents was
found in his pockets, and the lining of
his pants had been ripped or torn
away near his watch pocket. The
nature of the wounds indicate that he
had been struck by train, but
whether it was done before or after
his death will always remain a
mystery.

is the failure to have proper ideals.

is the failure to have proper ideals.
This failure must be remedied in
large part by the actions of you and
your fellow-teachers, your fellew-edu
Gators throughout this land. By your
lives. no less than by your teachings;
you show that while you regard wealth
as a good thing, you regard other
things as still better. 1t is absolutely
necessary to earn certain amount of
money; it is mans first duty to those
dependent upon him to earn enough
for their support; but after certain
point has been reached money making
can never stand on the same plane
with other and nobler forms of effort.
The roll of American worthless num-
bers men like Washington and Lin
coin, Grant and Farragut, Hawthorne
and Poe, Fulton and Morse, ST.
Goudens and MacMonnies; it num-
bers statesmen and soldiers, men of
letters, artists, sculptors, men of
science, inventors, explorers, road
makers, bridge builders, philanthro-
pists, moral leaders in great reforms;
it numbers men who have deserved
well in any one of countless fields of
activity; but of rich men it numbers
only those who have used their riches
Alright, who have treated wealth not
as an end, but as a means; who have
shown good conduct in acquiring it
and not merely lavish generosity in
disposing of it.
Thrice fortunate are you to whom
it is given to lead lives of resolute
endeavor for the achievement of lofty
ideals. and, furthermore, to instill,
both by your lives and by your teach
ings, these ideals into the minds of
those who in the next generation will,
as the men AID women of that geuer-
alton, determine the position which
this nation will hold in the history of
mankind.

Swipes The Monday Game From Great
Bend, 7 to 5.

Mondays ball game at Hutchinson
resulted in defeat for the Great
Blenders, and the shade of the Sham
rocks wept.
The game progressed very nicely
UP to the end of the sixth inning,
when the score stood 5 to 1 in our
favor. Harrison was in the box, and
up to that time had done good work,
and received excellent support. But
then Hutchinson began to bat him
numerically, and hitched on six more
runs before the close. The grounds
are said to have been muddy and
slippery, a condition that did not
interfere with the jewellers along
Cow creek as much as with the short
grass boys from the land of Turkey
wheat and sandy bottom.
Harrison got ball at the back of
the head while on third that put him
out of commission for little bit.
Moore, the Great Bend catcher,
sad to leave before the game was
over to catch a train and attend
league meeting, which was also
another bobble.
There were from 400 to 500
people in attendance, and Hutchinson
is all swelled up today-ready to be
busted when their web foots stand up
before Durham, or Holmes the left
paw
Lyon went into the box on the 9Th,
but the game was lost by then, and
SO the horrible tale is told.
