 the Bethel opera house, has purchased the interest of J. w. Achenbach in the roller skating rink, which was opened in the opera house, a few weeks ago. A large crowd visited the rink.

Each afternoon and even- ing of this week, Prof William Davis of New York has given exhibitions of fancy and trick skating. The present roller skating craze is the revival of the old-time sport that several years ago hourished here. The rink was then located where 1t is now and for some time was under the management of MT Nichols, who later disposed of it to Gilbert and Schoonmaker. Pres ent indications are that the sport has returned to stay, judging from the

ammunition expended In Kansas in
1867 to divert the course Of great
herd Of buffalo that was bearing down
toward a camp of soldiers with a
force that threatened to overwhelm It,
At least one officer is alive who saw
these shots fired, and he describes the
herd as literally reaching as far as the
eye could see. It was n long time in
passing the camp, whose occupants
watched it in silence. awed by the
spectacle. General Philip st. George
Cooke at once halted a regiment Of
cavalry on the plains to permit great
