Hendrix exhibited some fine corn in town Wednesday and left a few ears at our office. Among the number was a freak, an oddity, and something seldom seen growing on a corn stalk. The cob has evidently grown SO fast that the corn had no time to grow upon it, and the result is a large cob-shaped object, resembling somewhat the smut commonly found on corn stalks. It is to an ear of corn what an albino is to a negro, with the contrast more striking perhaps. -Waverly Gazett.

Wednesday evening between eight and nine o'clock a masked man entered the home of Clyde M. Craig and cut Mrs. Craig with a knife, or razor or similar weapon. Mr. Craig had only a few moments before gone up town and Mrs.

Craig was sitting at the table sipping a cup of tea, when the front door opened softly and some one entered. She supposed it was her husband, but looking up was frightened to find herself confronted by a slight built man wearing a large coat, white broad brim hat and black mask. After demanding that she accompany him to another room and being refused, he said: "'Here is where I get and made a stroke, seemingly at her face. Mrs. Craig threw up her arm and received a cut in the palm of the hand, and a bruise on the elbow in some way.

She dashed her hand into a pan of water and ran the back way over to Mrs. Garrison's. An alarm was immediately raised and a crowd soon gathered, but no trace of the assailant could be found in the darkness. The case is yeta mystery with small prospects of a solution.Waverly Gazette. Conley (Elder) McFadden died at the home of his daughter, Hannah Irey, at 3 o'clock p.

Wednesday, Sept. 24. Nothing seemed to be particularly the matter other than old age. Deceased was born Sept. 28, 1814, in Brown county, Ohio.

In early life he became a member of the M. E. church and was for a time in the ministry of that church. Later he affiliated with the Christian church and was in the ministry of that church for thirty years. He was twice married; first to Mary Bradley.

To this union was born three children' one of whom, Mrs. Eddy of Williamsburg, survive. After the death of his first wife he was remarried May 21, 1850, at Firecastle, Ohio, to Mary M. Sillman. To them was born eight children, six of whom are living.

They are, J. S. McFadden of Lansing; S. E. McFadden of Chanute: Henry McFadden of the U.

S. army at Manila; Mrs. Hannah Irey of Waverly; Mrs. Mary A. Roby and Miss Cordelia McFadden of Burlington.

on business and will visit at Wichita with his brother Henry before returning. Miss Jessie Harris left Wednesday evening for Colorado Springs to assist in nursing her sister, Mrs. Prosser, who is in the hospital there and who has to undergo another surgical operation. Sergt. T.

B. Jennings, ex-Indian fighter and at present weather observer at Topeka, is in town today investigating the threatening cycloic conditions prevailing inand around Lebo. C. A. Peres got home last week from a five months visit to his old home in Germany and is looking whole and hearty and much refreshed, by reason of his visit.

Mrs. Peres met him in 1 Ohio where they visited awhile together. And they are now going to visit their children at Iola before settling down. Our community was shocked early Thursday morning at the whispered words, spread silently but with electric rapidity, that Mrs. Gaddis at 7:15 had crossed the dark river that separates this life from eternity! The funeral is being arranged for Sunday at the M.

E. church at 2 p. and now with one accord the entire community turns from the pursuit of wordly affairs to contemplate, in the stillness of death, the mystery, and the wonder, and the power of His Enterprise. Good-bye, John. Sunday's Kansas City Journal had a "piece" written by J.

M. Clay of Strong City in which John took his leave of the Populists and joined the republicans. John states the trouble was that the Populists had sold themselves to the Democrats for office, etc. We also noticed, the same day, in the Strong City paper that John had been nominated by the republicans for justice of the peace on Saturday -the day before the "piece" was printed, and the same day that it was, likely, written. Poor John! We suppose his leaving has played havoc with the Fusionists of Chase county! John was so faithful! Never have we heard of a county or township convention that John was not on hand after an office or with a lot of fool resolutions intended to kill off the opposition and leave no one to vote against; but for some reason, John's "resolves" never got into action, and his nomination was always forgotten; consequently he has been off the reservation for some time.

At the Fusion county convention, Sept. 6, he failed again to land, and so he bundled up his doll rags and went over to the republican yard where he will slide down their official cellar door after the justiceship. It's a 16 to 1 bet that his sliding clothes will havesome big rents in when the returns are counted up. Good-bye, John.
