The old man stepped up to him, haviag a hammer in his hand, and asked him where he lived. No doubt if the man had been a traveler that would have been the end of him; but it is probable that they dared not risk murdering one of their neighbors.

Many incidents of this kind will now be brought to the minds of different parties, who, when they think of them, will shudder at the thought of how near they were to meeting a terrible death in that human slaughter house.

Wm. B. Poinsett. Mr. J.

P. Tay- lob to Miss Fankik I Carlisle. We extend to Bro. Taylor and his estimable wife our congratula tions, and hope their lives may at all times be as bright and pleasant as the May morn upon which they were united as "one." Br an'oversight we failed last week to mention that a change in the management of the Transcript had taken place. Mr.

Crowther has withdrawn from the paper, and J. P. Taylor is associated -with W. D. Walker as publisher.

Mr. W. still remains in charge of the editorial department. We extend to Messrs. Walker dc Taylor our kind wishes, and trust they may succeed in making the Tran script a success.

Fobt Scott boasts of having the arjjest Dry Goods store in the State. The house of W. II. Wal-ratb, or perhaps better known as the "Cheap Store," down on Wall street, is said to be the largest in Kansas. He is doing a large wholesale trade and- it no doubt will be an advautage to our roer chants in the Southern part of the stats to nave a place near by where they can assort up when they "are needing goods.

It is just what we 'want, and we wish our friend, Mr. Walrath, success. O. B. Langetkk's Grand Gift Enteprise will positively "come to a head' on Thursday next, at fio fir grounds He informs us 'that he will put in property ac cording to the amount of tickets sold.

We don't know how many tickets have been sold, consequently we can't tell what the chances are for anybody to suddenly have "riches thrust upon them." Mr. Langever will have a refreshment establishment on the grounds, in side of which the drawing will take place. As it will take some time to go through with the drawing process, there will be several in termissions, during which the vast crowd can cool their excitement by patronizing the refreshment department. Term cash. 3TCASII paid for Butter and Jotce Bros.

While strolling about town this morning we dropped Charlie Cooney's Wagon and Buggy Manufactory, on South Main street, and were much surprised to see how lively business looked about that establishment. Mr. Cooney is now making some ex cellent farm wagons and light buggies, that for style and finish will compare favorable with any work done in the East He is also just at the present time putting on the finishing touches on a family buggy which he is building forjBat. Moriarty, and consider! it the finest rig of the kind we ever saw. We would invite our farmers, and all others who need anything in the blacksmith or wagon making line, to call at Cooney's shop, and see the excellent class of work he is turning out.

Wx regret to announce this week the financial embarrassment of one of our best citizens snd business men, yet it is true that the best financiers are occasionally unfor tunate, which truth is made apparent in the fact that Col. Thos. II. Butler finding himself unable meet pecuniary obligations, made a general assignment for the benefit of his creditors on Satur- day last. The Colonel has the profound sympathies of our citizens, and his old customers, coupled with the sincere hope that he may speedily adjust his difficulties; and that his misfortunes may not prove so great as to seriously affect him.

I would inform my patrons and the-public in general, that I have removed my store Dolman's old stand, directly Opposite my former place of business. I would say to the farmers that they can buy goods at mj. store as cheap, if not cheaper, for cash, than they can at any; Grange or Farmers Union Store in this city.

nuiuu um 9U lung cutuiuuucu iuc damnable dee-is of the Bender family, has been drawn aside, revealing to the public gaze the existence, in our very midst, of a system of wholesale cold-blooded murdering almost unparalleled in the annals of little inci dents are brought back to the memory of different ones, which are now known to have direct connection with the doings of the murderous crew; and it seems almost wonderful that these occurrences, mysterious in their nature, have not long ago directed suspicion towards'them, especially under the excitement existing on account of so many mysterious disappearances. Some time ago, a poor sick wo man who lived in that hood, having heard of Miss Kate Bender's professions of medical skill, sought her in that line. The doctress prescribed for her, and said she required no pay for her services unless they proved beneficial. If we understood our informant the sick woman went away, leaving her side-saddle as a proof of her intention to remunerate the doctress. In a few days, however, finding that she had not improved in health, she concluded to go and get her side-saddle.

So one evening she went there for that purpose. On arriving at the house she went in and talked awhile. After she had been there a short time, the whole family got together in the house, closed the doors, and all seated themselves at the table, invoked the presence ol the spirits, and then proceeded to go through a series of incantations, something after the fashion of those supposed to have been indulged in by the breeders of witchcraft, in its palmy days. Each had a large butcher knife, which they would draw across their throats and make other significant motions with, and with a unifor mity that indicated that they had been thoroughly drilled in this spiritualistic manual of arms. The poor woman was nearly: dumb with terror.

But during a lull in the performance she re-gained her presence pf mind and without any exhibition of fear, leisurely stepped out the door, leaving her bonnet to make them think she would return. As soon as she got outside she moved away as fast as possible, but had not gone far when she heard footsteps pursuing her. She concealed her self in the grass until her pursuer bad passed her, when she crawled on her hands and knees for a long wa3's and finally got safely away. She told her story to some of the neighbors, but for some reason no one seemed to attach any importance to the incident, it probably being supposed that she had become frightened at the spiritual demonstrations. Some time after this a lot of men were scouring mai vicinity for some clue to the disappear ance of Dr.

York. They stopped at a man's house and made inqui ries of him as to what place, if any, occurrences of a questionable character were likely to take place. The incident above narrated occurred to him all at once, and be told them that the Bender family was the only one he knew of that could possibly be suspicioned. The men proceeded to Bender's, took young Bender into custody, and interviewed him in regard to the matter. He threw them completely off the scent in a very clever manner.

He thought he could give them a clue. He took them a place some three miles away, and showed them where he "had been shot at on last Christmas while he was passing there." They let him go, and of course that clue was not worth anything to them but it. was worth a good deal to the Benders. Mr. Chas.

Hallett, who was in our city some five or six weeks ago, related his experience to one of our citizens. He was on his way from Independence to this place, and stopped at a house, which from his description must have been the Bender place. While seated he heard a noise behind him, and on looking aronnd saw man stealthily approaching him with a hammer in his hand. Hallett drew his revolver and wheeled on him, when he pretended to be driving a nail in the floor, explaining, with a virtuously indignant air, his action. Hallett told him not to be driving sails where Jie was.
