A mad dog was discovered by some men on their way to work early this morning in the Frisco switch yards, near the grain elevator.

All honor to the Kansas hen! May her usefulness never grow less, and A man up north, in order to procure money for his sick wife, pawned two gold teeth and his wooden leg, and an exchange in commenting thinks marriage is no failure under such circumstances. Still, when a man is driven to such extreems he can hardly regard it as a howling success.

A colored preacher was inmersing a woman convert and as he put her under the water the first time he began, "I baptize you in the name of the Father," brought her up and put her under again saying, "the Son," and when became to putting her under the third time he forgot his piece and said to another preach armed battallion arrived.

Anyone who does not want to receive a newspaper will have no trouble in discontinuing it, if he notifies the publisher that he doesn't want the paper any longer provided he owes nothing. Don't continue taking the paper until you are pressed for payment and then "swell up" and say you "never subscribed for it." No publisher wants to force anyone to take his paper, if he does not want it at the same time he expects those who take it to pay for it just the same as they pay any' other debt. Ex.

A Farmer's Wife. Began Early. The papers "picked on" the Central branch as early as April 3, 1878, says the Atchison Globe. The Globe of that date said: "The other day a surly looking man boarded the train at Concordia, closely followed by a fiste. The conductor politely informed him that they could't cany dogs on the train, whereupon the man kicked" the dog off the train, and said that he could trot along behind the train or stay at home.

The train pulled out, and the-dog trotted comfortably beside it, occasionally pausing to lick a stray dog that ran out to see the steam cars go by. The passengers finally began to joke the conductor about the dog keeping up, whereupon lie spoke to the engineer, and they began to go at the rate of nine miles an hour, but the dog trotted along with his tongue hanging perfectly comfortable, which so exasperated the engineer that he got the engine down to twelve miles an hour, and the dog disappeared. When the train arrived in this city, however, the dog was found lying the depot platform waiting for his master, and the ticket agent said he had been howling around there for an hour.

The previous surveys of the town and the recorded plat fail to agree. Mr. Luckey first used the established corners on the section lines and surveyed the town according to the plat. But it failed to fit in divers places.

Then on the affidavits of Messrs. Mooney and Radcliffe as to the former survey corners, he is dividing the west part of town on the old survey lines. This has taken no littie time and trouble but he will probably get all the property corners located and staked this week. X-Uay. The midnight Missouri Pacific passenger train going north was wrecked Saturday night at a little station, Rose, north of Buffalo.

All the coaches left the track. About fifteen passengers were injured some rather seriously. The train arrived here late and was running behind an excursion train to Kansas City.

From the hour this paper was started to the present time he has been solicited to lie on every subject and can't remember having told a wholesome truth without diminishing Ins subscription list or making an enemy. Under these circumstances of trial and having a thorough contempt for himself, he retires in order to resume his moral constitution." An observing exchange says: "The farmer, if he knew it, is a little nearer the kindom of heaven than anyone on earth. He is certain of three square meals a day, and is the only man who can fence himself in and live in spite of the rest of mankind. A few cattle anil sheep and fowls provide him with food and clothing, while his field yield him flour and source of revenue.

So generous are these provisons and so common that hardly one farmer in ten takes any account of them, although the ordinary business man thinks he has done well when he reaches the end of the year and finds that he has a little than made ends meet.

One of the brothers finally went up to the mourner's bench, but the other positively refused.
