santsrmaBsem yr Tin ilepublican. Last Wednesday Grant Kenison and Harvey Wallace were loading hay on a wagon, when the load was completed Kenison attempted to throw his fork upon the top of the load but it passed over the wagon with out touching and the decending fork struck Wallace, who was working on the opposite side of the wagon, in the breast. The fork was a three tined one: one tine struck the sternum one the fifth rib inflicting a very painful but not dangerous wound.

A Han't Wrecked liy an Enco natal With Rattlesnakes. A tall, handsomely-dressed man, leaa Ing on the arm of an attendant, was walk. Ing np Madison avenue Sunday just as vast throng of church-goers were returning home, says the New York World. Suddenly he stopped, looked at his legs hi a frightened way, and fell to the ground in a fit.

His body twisted and writhed in a way horrible to see, and he made a strange noise which sounded like a dozen angry rattlesnakes. The gentlemans attendant evidently knew just what to do, He raised the sufferers head so that he eould not Injure It ou the sidewalk, and quickly loosened the fastenings of his shirt. When the first violence of the fit had worn off the attendant called on a bystander for help and removed the gentleman to a drug store. During the fit the gentlemans hat had rolled off, and alse a wig, leaving a head exposed as smooth as a billiard bail. While waiting for a carriage the attendant told a reporter a remarkable story of how his master came te be so terribly afflicted.

The gentleman is Mr. Francklyn Brush. Tan years ago Mr. Brush came to America from England to seek his fortune as a civil engineer. He had letters ot introduction which secured him a place on the International Great North' era railroad in Texas, which was then being built.

He joined Major Benhams party as assistant engineer. One day in Ootober, 1877, Major Benham sent Mr. Brash to obtain certain papers from Captain Wardell, who was engineer in charge of the next division. He started on his twenty-mile ride in the morning and reached his destination shortly before noon. He refused an invitation to remain in Captain Wardens camp until the heat of the day had passed and at once started on his return journey.

Half way between the two camps Mr. Brush became tired and dismounted from bis horse. He found a shady plaoe on a large rock overshadowed by trees and stretched himself out to rest. He had been asleep some time when he was awakened by a strange sensation. It seemed as though a heavy weight was at tached to each leg.

When he opened his eyes an ominous rattling noise greeted his oars. Two hnge rattlesnakes had colled about each of his legs, and at the slightest motion the animals raised their heads, ready to strike. Afraid to move and filled with Inexpressible terror, Mr. Brush lay hour after hour with the two big snakes coiled about him. At last the sun began to set, and th bill night air began to make the snakes uncomfortable.

Slowly they unwound themselves from about Mr. Brush, and crawled into a crevice in the rocks. Then he mounted his horse and rode Into camp. When his horse halted la front of Major Benhams tent, Mr. Brush fell from It in a fit For three days he remained unconscious, passing from one fit into another, until his life was despaired of.

At last he rallied sufficiently to be removed to Ban Antonio, where he remained in the hoe-pital for six months. During his illnesi every hair dropped from hie head. As soon as practicable Ur. Brush was taken to England, where he remained until year ago, when, through the death of a relative, he came into a handsome property. He bae been traveling under the care of a nurse since then, but he it constantly subject to fits.

It li the opinion of noted surgeons who have failed to effect a cure that Mr. Brush will die during one of these fits.

WORKINGMANS ARGUMENT AGAINST TREE-TRADE, number of farmers and work ingmen were discussing the Tariff a short time ago, in a country store in New Jersey, and as it is a strong Democratic town all were pretty much agreed that Cleveland aud Free-Trade were just what they wanted.

There was one how ever; among them who said that he couldut quite accept the Free-Trade doctrine. Why not? they asked, Shall we not be able to buy every-th ing at a cheaper rate? Yes I supjioee so, be said; but let us do a little figuring. If wool is put on the free list, we shall probably be able to buy clothing at about 20 per cent, less than we pay now. Yes thats so, they answered and who can object to that? Well, then, wages will go down too wout they? Probable tliev will. And iu about ttao same proportion! Yes, but what of it? Things will not be any worse off tbau they are now.

I dout know about that. Let us see- I can earn $40 a mouth Twenty per cent, of that would be $8, Now I can get a good suit of clothes for $20, and I buy two suits a year. So if I get ihem for 20 per cent, less I could save $8. Certainly. You would get them $8 cheaper.

But if I lose $8 a month in wages, that is $90 for the year. And Free-Trade would enable me to save in clothes, but I should lose $98 in wages. I rather think Protec- under the circumstances tion would be better for us after UlL Ex. Is made by the gradual reduction process from the choicest selected vinter wheat. Ii efore beiug ground the wheat is cleaned first 'on a jeperator, then a smutter is run through between two revolviug brush which makes the wheat cleau and bright.

The wheat is then ready or ihe rolls. After each reduction the flour is bolted out and carried the flour chest the remainder going to the. next pair of rolls. Ouly the best of the flour goes to the Snow Baft chest the balance oing "to a lower grade of flour. Every sack of Suow Ball is warranted and will make, if properly handled the lightest, sweetest aud whitest of bread.

Give the hour a trial and when you get used to bakiugit you will use no other. You can welVftffor(1 to PaJ ten or oeDt8 more a ack or Snow Ball for it will make ten or fifteen pounds of bread more then my other. Your grocer has to pay more for it, an course most sell it higher IADE AND WARRANTED BY FULTON ROLLER MILLS, FUL TON, KANSAS. SOLD BI ALL GROCERS..
