He is a Keeley practitioner. The doctor came to town a week ago and has one patient. He is a bummer. He is an old reporter. If the doctor can cure him, he, the doctor, is a darling. LastFuday evening the reporter was taken to the doctor for treatment. The first thing the patient wanted was some whiskey. This was furnished. The reporter proceeded to hoist on a "jag" of huge proportions. rle was soon drunk as a man and brother on election dav. When that reporter gets full, he gets stubborn. An Arkansaw mule has a mud man nered and dove-like disposition when compared witu that Faber shover when looking upon red liquor. Alter long persuasion the patient waa mduced to take one " shot. He was then seated in a high-backed rocking chair and given a bot'.le of whisky to smell of. Ibd doctor then left him sole occu pant of the office while a search wis made to find a boarding house for the reporter with a jag. Une nour elapsed. The doctor returned to the office, expecting to find the reporter in un disputed possession. The reporter with his "jag" hail left. He had gone to hunt an item full of sensation. The doctor hunted, but found him not. Twenty-four hours passed, and fin ally the reporter walked in, hunliug another jag.' The doctor captured him. Another "shot" of the anti-whisky, anti-"jag" medicine was unloaded in his right arm about where the little boy is usually vaccinated. Last night the knight of the pencil was seated in a rocking chair, a b-.t tie of whiskey in each side coat pocket awaiting events. As suou as he is cured he will be put to work on the Bazoo and sent to report tne coming prohibition con vention. And if Doctor Houston cures him he will be a public benefactor. DIED. Mrs. 8arah Scott, widow of Samuel B. Scott, died of dropsy and heart failure April 6, aged 7 1 years. Mrs. Scott was a! native of Howard county, and at an early age was left an or phan. She was reared by friends, and by her rectitude and many ex cellencies of character, well did ahe repay their kindness.

In 1834 Minnie Wallace, a pretty brunette living at iZ Uanal street, New Orleans, left a handsome south ern home to cast her fortune with man whose name afterwards brought her into great prominence. When Minnie Wallace-Walkup appeared in Cincinnati on her bridal tour, the most expert judges of feminiue beau ty were nil of the opinion that the pretiy bride had easily teen twenty- turee summers. When, however, some mouths afterward she was ar rne.l in court, at her home in Emporia, Kansas, on tha charge of administering poison to the husband from whom she expected great wealth, the records in her native country, to the amitzement of all, said that she was only eighteen years of age. Upou tbe plea ot extreme youth someeccen trie people espoused Mrs. Walkup s cause in r.mpona, and tbe jury failed to say that Mrs. Walkup poisoned her husbaud. The story is widely known Cana r . a street, now made famous by tne in trigues of the pretty 0:134 who is held in high esteem bv southern gentlemen, once more became her home. Here she refused to see any of tue friends who claimed her acquaintance from her quondam northern home. Her home ou Canal street was furnished and finished in all the elegance becom ing the style of southern legislators and planters, whose company she enter tained with the same grace and charm which only a comparatively short time before bad captivated an apparently good catch ot a husband. That her home after her return to New Orleans was all that wealth and luxury could desire is shown in a no tice of sale, which appears in tbe New Orleans Picayune, under date ot April 21st. Ia prominent lines a most extraordinary sale is announced. The entire contents of the superbly furnished residence of Mr?. Minnie Wallace-Walkup, being the handsome t collection of household effects submitted to the public in several years, are offered at nublic auction to the hiehest bidder. The bill of sale enumerates articles of furniture rich, rare and costly, with pieces of art in painting and statuary, which would reflect credit upon the taste of the most opulent. But now the query occurs to those of her northern friends who knew her so well : Why should Minnie thus so summarily dispose of such a cozy and artistic home? Surely ill fortune could not fall to tbe lot of such a beauty. Uut perhaps she intends a second time to seek happiness in a second marriage. The latter seems to be tbe most probable. Kansas City Timet. aV. rauiir mciveniia un h Moberley yesterday, aged fifty-sine years. n n a 1 w Trr 13 -A CHARLEY M'COMAS. Eugene F. Ware, His Uncle, Thinks He Died Among tbe Apaches Some Time Ago. A dispatch from Topeka, Kansas, says: Eugene F. Ware of Fort Scott, who has been efected a delegate from the Second Congressional district to the National convention was in the city to-dav. Dispatches were sent out from Fort Scott Tuesday stating that Mr. Ware believed be hid discovered in a homeless child at Santa Catarina, Mexico, the orphan of Judge McCo mas and wile, who were massacred in tbe Apache raid near Siiver Like City, in March, 1882. At that time young Charley McComas, then nearly 7 years old, was kidnapped by the Indians. Mr. Ware, who is sn uncle of tbe child is frequently in receipt of letters from alleged scouts volunteer ing to furnish for a consideration information which promises to lead to the discovery of the boy. To these he no longer pays the slightest attention. Shortly after the massacre he insti tuted a most vigorous search for the child, sparine neither time nor monev. He interested Robert T. Lincoln, then secretary of war, in the case and the Mexican government took it up and after making minute inquiries submit ted a report which forever set at rest the question ot the fate of little Char ley McComas. The boy, after his parents had been murdered, waa car ried by the Indiana into Old Mexico. He at once gained the favor of the Indians and there was considerable strife among the squaws as to which one should adopt him. several months after his capture the Indians were exposed in a terrible storm in the Sierra Madras mountains and there the child, uc accustomed to such hard ships, perished, notwithstanding the fact that be was given the best care possible by bis captors. Mr. Ware says that tbe reports of .1 i- . ... me uucavery oi me ooy are periodi- 1 events and he believes that the stories are started fur the purpose ot extorting money irom him. A dispatch from fort bcott refer ing to the same matter says : Of tbe possibility that Charley Mc lomas, tbe bjy who was taken by tne Indians at Oliver laae L-ity in 1883, at the time they murdered and robbed his parents, Mr. and Mrs, Judge McComas of this city, may be the American boy whom a recent telegram from Monterey, Mex., states is living with a Mexican family at Santa Catarina, the Hon. E. F. Ware an uncle of Charley McComas says: " 1 have very little hopes that the two boys are identical though their age, description and experiences are strikingly similar. As yet I have beeu unable to get any word to feanta Catarina on account of remotnes?, but as soon as possible the question will be thoroughly investigated. The re port that he is Charlie has renewed the anxiety of bis two sisters here and their suspense is almost unbearable I will correspond with the American consul at Mexico in regard to the matter if no other manner of com munication can be had in a short time. It hardly seems possible that he is Charley, as I was quite confident from my investigation years ago that Charlie died among the Indians. ROAD CONVENTION. Delegates Chosen for the Spring field Meeting. The road convention which con venes at Springfield, Mo., on the 4th of May, will be composed of delegates from each couuty in tbe state. It is understood that these delegates will be practical, level-headed men who will take into consideration the projects offered and decide upon the best and mo3t feasible means of improving th highways throughout the state. Mis souri is one of the greatest states in the union, destined to elimb still high er, and yet the road system is among tbe poorest. Uood roads is what more than any one thing enhances the value of real estate and brings wealth from a ereat many sources. It is to be hoped that this gathering, prob ably of one thousand earnest men representing various localities and interests, will be productive of much good. Yesterday, f resident rank Meyer, the Commercial club, appointed Messrs. Bell Hutchinson and P. D. Has tain as delegates to this conven tion. The county court will appoint three additional delegates at its meeting the first Monday in May. Cant. William H.

She said her home was in Higginaville at one time and at another stated that it was in Kansas City. She said ahe was the wife of a brakeman who was work ing in Texas.
