Girl Swapped fur Pontea.
A story comes from Wichita, Kan.,
to the effect that liosa Whitefaee. a
pretty young girl pupil of the Caddo
Indian school, has been sold by her
lather to her sister's husband for fif-
teen ponies. Her purchaser is 70
years old and has other wives. Kosa
is only 17 and is horrified at her im-
pending fate. Citizens of El Heno
will send Kosa to Washington, where
she will make a personal appeal to
President Cleveland to 6ave her.
The girl's father is inexorable, and
her aged lover insists upon the con-
tract being carried out. The idea of
selling a young girl to an old man is
something horrible, especially when
the old man is not rich and gives
society no swell wedding.
About tli« Moon,
Ono of the latest theories—which
is said to bo receiving general accept-
ance—concerning the moon's face
assumes that the material constitut-
ing that luminary once surrounded
the earth in the front of a Saturnian
ring, and that the small bodies of
this ring coalesced, first gathering
around a large body of nuclei and
finally all uniting in a single sphere,
the moon, the lunar craters being the
cars resulting from the collision of
the "moonlets."

There are at least two cases on rec-

The crown of Italy was founded in

Each family of standing in Honolu-
lu keeps a telephone, for which the
charge is $40 a year. The invitations
to all social functions are sent by tele-
phone. This is not only a saving to
the hostess in the matter of cards
and postage, but it also obiviates
the necessity of the physical labor
that attaches to such work. Some
houses have a dozen telephones scat-
tered about the different rooms, so
that the family may communicate
with friends without having to leave
their chairs.

beneficial properties of a perfect lax-
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,

d permanently curing constipation.

Foul Plajr Feared.
Waco, Tex., May 17.—Mrs. Spier
is in much distress concerning her
husband, \V. Spier, who was selling a
patent freezer and left Waco on 8th
to go to Morgan. Since then nothing
has been beard of Mr. Spier, and she
expresses fear that he has been mur-
dered. Spier is aged 48 years, is 5
feet 9 inches tall and weighs 160
pounds. He had a largo sum of
money when he left home, and this
money, Mrs. Spienfears, led to his
murder. The lady requests that in-
formation concerning her husband
be sent to the sheriff, John YV. Baker,
Waco, will confer a great favor on
her. Mrs. Spier's anxiety amounts
to almost mortal agony, endangering
her own life.

wife.
"M* Daulikg Em: I am thinking
of you in my last. My trouble is
more than I can stand. 1 have failed
at everything I undertake. No use
to say more. Tell Mr. Martin to set-
tle up what bills there are here and

leave you all, but, as you know, I can
never rise again. Please forgive me
for all I have ever done. I hope to
go to heaven. I know you will be
there. I have taken the dose and
write you my last. Take all our

you can. Give Lewis bis children.

Precious, we have lived together
thirty-one years. You are a dutiful,
wife, true as can be, but I must get
rid of my troubles. May God bless
you all. I hope to meet you in
heaven. Let the K. of P. look after
me. Good-bye, darling. I must
stop. Oh, my grief and love. Tom."
Famoui Cattle Gate.
San Antonio, Tex., May 18.—In
the federal court the jury returned a
verdict for the claimant in the famous
Blocker seizure case. On the records
of the court this case is known as the
United States vs. eleven hundred
head of cattle, and grew out of the
seizure by J. K. Barrister, special
agent of the treasury department, of
1100 head of cattle on the ground
that they had been smuggled from
Mexico. The cattle were seized as
the property of Blocker & Shaw and
were claimed by J. L. Vaughan,
as purchased from Blocker &
Shaw. Vaughan gavo bond and the
trial which ended yesterday was a
trial of the right of property. The
trial of the case was at the
last term of the court, and when
nearly all of the evidence1 had been
taken one of the jurors suddenly be-
came sick and the case was withdrawn
from the jury and contined. The
trial just ended consumed one week.
After being out a few hours the jury
returned a verdict in favor of the
claimant, J. L. Vaughan. During all
the time the case has been pending
the cattle have been in possession of
the United States marshal and have
been fed and cared for at the expense
of the United States government.

grand jury, when near Hookerville

berries when Ragsdale's pistol fired,
the ball striking himself just above the

ing under the skin about the waist
near the spine. He never spoke af-
ter the shot, only to say, "I've shot
myself!"

Thn Deadly Celluloid.
Sophio Marsh, a Brooklyn cook,has
liscovered that a celluloid corset is
the worst possible thing to wear
about a cooking stove in case of tire.
Celluloid burns like oil. Miss Marsh's
corset almost caused her death, ller
skirt caught fire at the kitchen stove.
She screamed, and the rescuer tore
the burning garment off, but the cor-
set blazed in spite of all that could be
done until the girl was immersed in a
bathtub of water. Her injuries are
serious, but she may recover. Long
since the dude discovered that the
celluloid collars and cuffs were likely
to blow him up from cigarette
sparks, and he would sooner turn a
paper collar than risk a new celluloid
on his neck.
