ACCIDENT. Last Friday, upon Mr. Hosser's stock ranch, Geo. Chew, while riding his horse at full speed, lost his balance and was thrown to the ground, lighting upon his right shoulder and his head. It was really a question of life and death for five or six hours.

and in fact he did not regain his consciousness until the next day. Dr. McKeene was in attendance, and we are glad to say George is rapidly recovering. The Wa-Keeney World says that Mr. G.

W. Harsh, of the Saline valley, reports the finding of magnesian limestone on his claim, so thoroughly impregnated with petroleum as to burn readily. If the stone lies below the general surface of the prairie, not in a bluff, he has an excellent prospect for an oil well, but not for coal, as these two articles never exist together. Will friend Tilton send us down a specimen of the find A large amount of job work has been done at this office this week, comprising letterheads, cards, tickets, envelopes, signs and posters, and yet the orders continue.

That little old sod dugout on the claim. CHORUSAnd you remember Nellie, Will, Whom we both learned to love, With sunny laugh, and brightest golden hair, And how she tried to cheer our lives, Which were dark indeed, And how she helped to drive away our care. But, alas! poor Nellie's gone, And her face we'll see no more. And our hearts will ever throb with pain. And through the busy, noisy lite I'm thinking of' poor Nell, And the little old sod dugout on the claim CHORUSWe now love Kansas, don't we.

Will? We've learned her sterling worth, And bless the day trials that we ve been settled here. Though our have many, Aud the way seemed dull and dark, Yet the crown is won by those who know no fear. The friends we kuew are scattered, Will But a prayer still follows themThe old tried friends in joy or painMay the peace and comfort follow them The same us when they lived Near that little old sod dagou on the claim CHORUSThen, here's your health, dear Billy, May your lite ve long and fair. May we both glide down the stream of life With a faith that is unshaken In our glorious proud young State, Which hath outgrown the trials and the strife. May the golden tie of friendship Still bind around our hearts, And manhood's virtues be our aimAnd "keep the fire burning." As we in bye-gone days In that little old sod dugout on the claim.

No matter if his clothes were somewhat plainYes, those were happy days. my boy, Ir we did have to live In that little old sod dugout on the claim. CHORUSThe years are rolling over me Wherever I may roam. And the Past has its pleasure and its pain But down within my heart I'm thinking of those days In that little old sod dugout on the claim.

We had no harvests then to reap. And sod-corn was our all, And see had the hardest work to make it grow. For the grasshoppers were hungry. Will Their appetites were good, And a thousand of them marching up each row And how We raved and cussed, dear Will To see our bread destroyed, And made our cries echo o'er the plainHow we cussed poor Kansas, Will, When we laid down to sleep In that little old sod dugout on the claim. way we made the dugout, Will, first to lig hole Along the lonely path by buffalo trod, Then we cut us down a tree or two With which to make the roof, Then covered it all o'er with prairie sod.

'The window was a stove pipe, Will, The floor was simply earth, And the door it always creaked as tho' with pain, And didn't we have a high old time 'The first night we did sleep In the little old sod dugout on the claim. CHORUSThe roof, you know, was leaky, And the rain came pouring in. And we walked 'round the dugout all the might. And the water still kept rising. And the bed clothes did the saiDe.

And And both how of we us were cursed in the a wretched country, plight And cursed our wretched selves, And cursed at the roof and at the rain, And cursed the ceam for bringing us To such a hole as that, And the little old sod dugout on the claim CHORUSOur dishes they were meagre, Will, Likewise our furniture, And we didn't care just how they were it made; And we washed our clothes so neatly In the horse-trough near the door, And cooked our frugal slap-jacks on spade. The coffee mill it ground our corn, But sugar we had none. So we used to boil the sorghum caneAnd our shirts all went tor dish the best that we could do In that little old sod dugout on the claim. CHORUSBut the scene has changed around place, And wheat was made to grow, settiers gathered in a hundred strong And dugouts soon plenty, And new friends were then made, And the nights were spent in dancing and with song. by What jolly boys our neighbors kind to every wantA blessing seemed to linger when they came, And we soon began to love With a pride both firm and strong, The Wa Keeney World has the following kind words for us: Russell has a new the HAWKEYE by name.
