Dr. V. A. Henderson of GuTJccthe
during his recent tour of the West lost
a valuable wa'tch-charm, which he
-shortly af:erwards recovered in a won
derful manner. The charm was a
monogram containing the emblems of
the I. O. O. F.. K. P. and A. F. & A.
M. He left his hotel in San Francisco
for the steamer fcr PoiUand, Oregon,
having the charm then securely fas
tened to h:s watch guard. When he
readied his state room on the steamer
the valuable trinket was gone, lie
rushed back to the carriage ia which
he had driven to the wharf, searching
for the lest article but could find it
neither ia the carriage nor on the way.
After he had reached Portland in
stroEing ever the city Lc met one of
his fellow passengers on the steamer
who was wearing a charm so similar
to the one he had lost, that he exam
ined ! carefully and found to his joy
that it was really his charm. The
gentleman who was wearing his rnijs--"K
jewelry told him he had found it
in the gang-plar.k as he boarded the
vessel and cheerfully returned it to
Dr. Henderson.
Wednesday ot last week a serious
Yiot was precipitated at the State In
dustrial Home for Girls, . located at
Chillicothe. The pretended cause of
the riot and rebellion was the objec
tion of 1 3 girls of the Missouri cottage
to attend school during this hot
weather, though it afterwards developed
that whLkey, that had been furnished
the g:rl3 by certain men working on
the building improvement!. was
the real cause of all the troub'e.
In the tficrnooa of the day of the
trouble then the girls were ordered to
proceed to the school-room, a vicious
crosveyed Llonde, who had been scat
to thciisiitutioa from St. Joseph tor
some crime, moved that they refuse to
attend school any more until cooler
weather, which motion was seconded
by 1 2 other girls. The well disposed
gills left the building for the school
room, but no persuasion coold induce
the 13 rebels to obey the commind
of their superiors. They resisted with
force every endeavor to cotvjuor their
rebellion, and flaally it was found nec
essary to bring xn the police power of
tS ritv to overcome and remove them
to separate cells in the institution. I lhc Wabash, taken on change of venue

associates. It was afterwards devel
oped that the girls had been drinking
whiskey, which one of the girls said
had been furnished tnctn by
a Etockfitld man, who was as
sisting the in plumbing work. If this
statement should prove to be true the
very severest penalties of the law would
hardly be adequate punishment in his
case. This incident illustrates the im
policy of the legislature attempting to
provide in one institution for unfortu
nate but homeless girls, and a place of
confinement for the criminal and vic
ious. This fault should le remedied
at once. It is a disgrace to the state
to permit the continuance cf such a J

when the horses saw the bicycle they
became scared and ran away, running
through two fences and throwing Will
out between the horses and wagon.
One wheel passed over his shoulder
and another over his leg, while a lot
of heavy boards of which the wagon
bed was made, fell on his side. His
bicycle got tangled up 10 one cf the
wheels of the wagon and was complete
