On the morning of February 2o' a

vjing with Coronado in efforts to
secure permanently the county seat
of Wichita county, from a resident
Coronado, inviting Coulter to visit
that town that afternoon for a good
time and bring a friend or two with
him. Coulter accepted the invitation,
and with him went Rilly Raines,
George Wat kins. A. L. Jloorey, Frank
JcuncHH, A. R. Johnson and F.min tt
Deining. On arriving in Coronado
they spent a tew hours with friends
and then started to their wagon,
which was hitched in front of the
post office, with the intention of re
turning home. In front of the post
oflice stood one of the Coronado
men who, so it is said, applied a foul
phrase to Raines, at the same time
making a motion as though to draw
a revolver. Raines quickly drew his
and struck his assailant upon the
head. A volley was fired upon the
little party by concealed men; bring
ing every one of the Leoti party to
the ground. Coulter and Rain s
were killed, and the others bad'y
wounded, and George Watkins died

arrests were made peaceably and the
prisoners were, on March 10, taken
to Dodge City for safe keeping.

in a Western Dakota town. "Now,

and one of the men started off mighty

diamonds us.-d the wash upon them,

jirice far evci-di'ig tlriir value. Tin
trick was discovered about two weeks
ago, and in a very peculiar manner.
Oik? of the sharpers went into a I$ow
ery pawnshop and offered for pledge
a diamond ring, shirt studs and other
proms of the sain! ki nd. He accepted
$350 en the lot. The proprietor sus
jected that the article had been
stolen, and ho saw. as h'-thought, that
the genu were perfect ones; so he had
one of his employes follow the man
who had pawned the goods and pur
chase the ticket from him for f3Q.
Then the j iyoin pawnbroker knew
the gl.tteriug gems were his own, and
t prevent any future complications he
took them from their settings and pro
ceeded to wash them. When he
ropjied them into a'e.di.d. his own
chin dropped with them, for tho blaz
I n IT color was gone, there was only a
iekly glitter to the stones, and the en
'ire ht was found to he not worth
more than one hundred dollars. And

diamonds in any shop in New York

little well of alcohol before he gives
you his estimate on the stones.

A Picture of .Marmaduke.
People who have been led to be
lieve that Missourians go around the
country in bare feet and with one
suspender ought to walk around the
Lelaud hotel and take a look at Gov
rnor Marm duke of that much
'msed state They would see a man
w t a1! of liosc-oe Conk'iug's state-
lincss. In fact, it one time in his
life ther was a st iking facial ap-
pearanc b tweea M.umaduke and
the Utica stat smau. Marmaduke,
like Conkling, has grown somewhat
since those days. He is one of the
urbane in the land. He grew up in
sehooi a knight, full-clad for a hero.
He came up in a day when people
believed they were casteless, and
when a tournament fete champetre
was much better than a circus or
any play that was ever put on the
boards. Marmaduke was one of Joe
Shelby's men in the first days of the
war. He tpiarreled with General
Walker, a brother Confederate, and
a duel in Arkansas was the result.
Walker fell mortally wounded. Mar
luaduke carried his ideas of chivalry
around with him long after the last
;un of the rebellion had been fired.
After the last surrender he went to
Mexico and offered his service to
Maximilian. He was received at
court and under the skies of Mexico
he chatted with poorCarlotta before
that beautiful woman became de
mented he was master of the court
language of Europe. But it is to
Marmaduke's credit that he longed
for other eyes under the skies of his
own country aud one iky he came
back here. His political disabilities
were removed. He went into retreat
at St. Louis. He became an ehtor
of a commercial newspaper. Three
tire she aspired to the governorship,
but Woodson. Harding and Critten
den were ahead of him. He declares
now that his ambition is gratified.
and when he throws off the mantle
they still call it a mantle in Missouri
he will be ready to seek the shades
forever. If so he will be unlike the
average Missourian. Chicago Mail.

the county jail here last night, wild

had chased him away from Odessa

ever since, sometimes almost catch

How to Preserve Ivory.
Articles made of ivory should not
lv exposed to heat or dryness. They
should never be exposed to the direct
rays of a hot sun or placed in a
closet near or under a lire, as they
are very apt to split under such cir
cumstances. When ivory becomes dis
colored it may be restored to its "white
color by being soaked in water ami
when wet exposed to the action of
light w hile shut up in a well closed
glass case. When ivory has been kept
long it is apt to diminish in weight.
owing to the loss of gelatine, of
which it is partly composed. This
may be remedied by soaking the ar
ticle in a solution of that substance. It
is in consequence of ivory being thus
innuencea that in making very mm
ute measurements it is seldom em
ployed. Detroit Tribune.

Gentlemen I have used your S. j
S. S. medicine with exceptional
benetit on patients convalescing
from mcii'ies. A iej ure ot that
disease is that it leaves the mucous

that is the inflammation continues
om tour to six months. I have
given it to several patients just get
ting out ot bed from the measles,
and alwavs with the happiest result.
I also used S. S. S. in convales
cent fever cases with the best result.
t will, in my judgement prevent
summer dvsentery, if one will take
a few bottles in the spring, thus
preparing the bowels for the strains
of the summer.

Sirs: About three months ago notictne.
a letter addressed to you jn the

the cure ot his Ron by the use ot Hall's
Catarrh Cure, we were induced to com
mence the use of it toroui daughter Nel
lie, row fourteen years old, who has been
suffering from catarrh tor about eight
vears, during winch time sne nas teen
treated bv one ot the best physicians in
the citv. We have also tried the use al
most all the known remedies for catarrh,
with no more suceess than temporary
relief. Manv nights have we lain awake
to hold her mouth open to keep her from
strangling Her hearing had also be
come affected. We were afraid that she
would never recover. We have now us
ed six bottles of Hall's Catarrh Cure,
and we believe Nellie to be entirelv
cured. In a le days after commencing
the use ot it we noticed a ce-ided change
tor the better, and from that right along
she his improved, until now she breathes
as easily as any one. She sleeps wei!
and her hearing is perfectly good. W t
teelthat the disease is entirelv removed.
We write this unsolicited letter, iceling
that it is due you, and with the hope that
others may be benefited in like manner
We can hardlv realize that such a change
could be effected in so shott a time aftei
battling with the disease so long. We
are stid using the remedy at intervals,
as it seems to build up her system. You
are at liberty to use this in anv manner
you see proper. We are yours truly,
