there were mark upon his body by
which he could be indentitled. Yester
day, in company with a sufficient party
for the accomplishment of Uie disagree
able duty, Sheriff Moon went to Moon
creek, where the remains of
the murdered mau were disin-1
terred, but decomposition had proceed
ed so far that the body was a perfect
mass of putrefaction, and neither form
nor features were distinguishable. The
description given by Mrs. Hamilton of
her husband corresponded with that of I
tho murdered man jdrcady published in

been moved about 100 feet further south.
The new section of seat will be arrang

covered. Under this section is also ar
ranged a row of covered booths for lunch
and refreshment stands. In front of the
entire row of seats, and between them

All need a holiday. This will be a
good time to take it. Take two or three

about farming, stock raising, domestic

Conductor Shot.
We learned Wednesday from a gentle
man who was iu the office, and who
came in on the Santa Fc train from the
west that morning, that a conductor.
whose name wo did not get, was shot at
Ellinwood by a man on the train, Tues
day afternoon. On stopping at tho
station the conductor found two
men on top of oue of the cars. It is said
tho men were going west to work on tho
road in New Mexico. He ordered them
down, telling Uiem that was no place to
ride. They got down, and in
dulged in some improper words
towards the couductor. One of
them finally exhibited a revolver.
The couductor told them they ought not
to carry fire-arms on the train; that it
they would step into the car lie would
show them the rules which all passen
gers were expected to observe.
Further words ensued, the con
ductor endeavoring to reason wilh
U10 men, wheu one of thcui drew his re
volver and shot the conductor in Uie
stomach. At the lime our informant
left the conductor was not expected to
live.

A Little Jaunt.
Last Friday I boarded Net tleton's train
for Otter creek. The car was full of
Democratic statesmen who were jollify
ing over the nomination of Ross. They
seemed to bo happy over the thought
that an ex-Republican was on the way
to salt river. There were two or three
stalwart Republicans aboard who enter
ed into their joy. Poor Ross.
From Eagle Creek to Madison we were
in the ram. At Willow valley we
took refreshments. At Eureka we
left Phc-nis with some or his Dem
ocratic friends. Here it rained again.
On a bill between Fall river and Otter
creek the train "slowed up" and
I lumped off in the mud and dark to
hunt up a parsonage on the prairie. The
parsonage, an unfinished frame house,
was found, and the preacher, G. W.
White, and bis good wife,, gave me a
hearty welcome. Some of our preach
ers ana uicir wives endure a good acai
for the privilege of preaching the gospel
to the poor. - It rained most of the
night
Saturday moraine we set out. in
open spring wagon, for a ten mile ride
up North Otter, which took ns up into
tbe spurs of the Flint Hills. The bot
tom lands, not very extensive, are all
fenced, which throws the road out on to
the hills. So our ride was up
and down over the rockiest road I have
found in - Kansas. The face of the
country is quite picturesque, and there
are some beautitul little canons running
up into the hills. There are some great
bluffs of rock, unlike anything I have
seen elsewhere in Kansas. Scrueirv Din-
oaks grow out of the irreat crevices of
Uie great rocks. Brae Ui pods, crinoids
and oUicr fossils abound in these rocks.
I captured a SDocimen which resembles
a cross between a trilobite and a bivalve.
This country has been settled about
ten years. There are some very ' fine
stock farms along this stream. The
creek runs the year round, has run a
good stream all this season. Tie caves
and little bushv "frulcbcs alone the 'hill
sides afford fine shelter for stock in the
winter, and the high table lands
afford the best of summer range. The
corn crop is good and there Is a world
of hay. There are no apple-bearing or
chards yet, but abundance of peaches. 1
may say that it rained Saturday after
noon and night, and spoiled our grove
meeting. So on Sunday morning and
afternoon we had a largo congregation
huddled ia and around a small school
house and endured one of the hottest
days of Uie season.
Late in Uie afternoon I rested while
good brother drove nae across Uie coun
try, a distance of twelve miles, tq Eureka,
Here I found a church full of j. -sping,
sweltering people, who sat v.ticnUy
to hear one of Uie hottest ser
mons I ever tried to preach. It
made both preacher and people sweat

manages tho bnss. licv. K. C. Brooks,
the pastor, is wide-awake and looks af
ter all the interests of the church. We
spent Monday renewing old and forming
new acquaintances in the city.
Tuesday morn in i; we boarded Nettle-
ton's train again for home. This time
we round the car lull of ltepuMican pol
iticians on their way to Topcka to nom
inate a ticket to defeat Uie Democratic
nominees. They believe that they can
defeat all the ex-Republicans in the
field. So they are happy. I reached

Jacob's Crbee, Kan., Aug. 24, 18S0.
1 was startled aad suprised, 00 being
suddenly awakened, to find my husband
ia a reverential attitude and calling for
divine help. Knowing well that men
only appeal to a higher power in ex
treme cases, I immediately arose to see
Uie cause of the disturbance. By this Use
my nua oana nail fled, at most at a Single
bound, to the kitchen in search of a
weapon not Uie broomstick, however
that would be too feminine but a stick of
wood was procured and the enemy as
saulted, which proved to be a hideous
snake, over four feet ia length, crawling
on a chair-hack close to the bedside, evi
dently seeking some more comfortable
quarters. By the time the weapon was
brought to bear upon him, bis bead was
out a window close by, and he writhed
and slashed uiuisell against uie uouae
furiously, until he wriggled to tbe
ground. But my better half be
ing ueienuincu uit 10 uw uutai,
tlew out Uie door aad after him, in a
manner proving great agility at least,
and dispatched Uie enemy at once. Af
ter searching Uie house, barring the
windows and doors, we again retired.
trying to lose ourselves in slumber which
was not easily doue. as every ung now
seemed to be assuming the Hhape of
reptiles. In time, however, Morpheus
did relieve us of our trouble and we
slept quietly until morning, when we
arose to fiud our enemy quite dead on
the field of battle, showing, however,
a peculiar fullness which, we attributed
to mice he had rid the house of during
hia visit Presently we noticed the bird
cage empty and Uie birds all gone, Uie
cage hanging over the window six feet
from the floor. The first thought was Uie
cat as Uie window was open, but that
idea was dismissed as no feathers or clue
to birds could be found. The second
thought was Uie snake, but this idea
seemed equally unfeasible, as Uie ques
tion arose, how could Uie hideous thing
climb a perpendicular plastered wall or
climb the window? But climb there in
some way he evidently did, and ate those
canaries. In order to settle the
matter satisfactorily, a postmortem exam
ination was resorted to and Uie birds
found within Uie snake. Now the storv
is simply this: While away-on Sunday,
visiting a sister, that miserable snake
had clinied the painted weatherboarding
four fcettto Uie window, climbed Uie win
dow and swallowed those birds, taken
possession of the house, and I suppose
enjoyed bis new quarters and sumptuous
feast to Uie highest degree of serpentine
enjoyment, until he was surprised mak
ing his exit by another window.
But horrors! . Just imagine yourselves
awakened by a hideous serpent trying
to find comfort in your "bed, having
crawiea arouna tne nouse wiui oareioot
ed children, crawled to your ceiling and
perambulated Uie house generally, and
perhaps you can half realize the terror
of such an awakening.
If you doubt Uie veracity of "Our ad
venture with a snake," enquire of
