His enemies insist that he suicided; the unprejudiced, disinterested public oelieves he died from an accidental overdose of cholorofom, and his friends maintain that the news of the bishop's tinal decision killed him. The facts are susceptiblp pf almost any interpretation. Rev.

few miles George Chapman announced that he could go no further. Ward, with groat presence of mind, unhitched the teams and compelled Chapman to drive his team ahead while Ward followed with his team. Chapman was so near frozen that he would at times fall asleep and stop. Aftor all possible endeavors to get him along had proved unavailing, and prompted by the remembrance of his wife and child anxious over his safety, Ward and Stovell left him and made their way 'as best they could toward here. Finally, Stovell gave out, and Ward carried him for four hours but fl nally fell and hurt his knee so that he had to abandon his burden.

Wrapping him up in a blanket, Ward limped along and reached home about p'clock on Thursday with his feet frozen terribly, having been In a ceasless storm for about liours. Such exhaustless epergy apd determination are rarely parallelled, lie deserves much praise for his aid to his companions, and wquld not have suffered had it not been for them. As soon as Ward reached here, a relief party was sent out to aid Stovell, Chapman being regarded as past aid and out of reach by distance. After all search proved unavailing, the party returned, To-day, (Friday) a large party with sleighs and on horseback went out to search for the bodies of the unfortunate victims, with what result, at present writing can only be conjectured. It is evident to all that both have perished.

There was no ohance for shelter as they were on the open, level prairie, In a storm that but exceptional beings could withstand, as they could not see a rod before them. Ward reports over a foot of snow in Greeley county. He is frozen so badly that he will lose some of his toes if not both of his feet, but otherwise is in as good condition as could be expected. It is thought that more victims will found. Syracuse Democrat.

The Syracuse Democrat came to us this week only a half sheet, and that on Manilla paper.

It seems to us that nearly every farmer, living near a stream of could put up enough ice to do him during the summer, at a trifling cost. Uri Coy and Beekmans have been harvesting ice this week. They found that, notwithstanding the fact that the prospects were poor in the early part of the season, they had raised a full crop, and now tueir granerics are full to overflowing and sti'l a large portion of the crop will destroyed by the summers sun. 1 i ual, but when an eflort was made to awake him Sunday morning it was found that he was found in an unusually heavy stupor.

He died at I o'clock Sunday afternoon, The coroner rendered a verdict of Bijicide. It is generally believed, however, that when father Jardine awakes in the land of the vast majority, he will be as much surprised as anyope on earth.

From the frequent occurence of fires it seems highly important that every precaution should be taken to prevent these disastrous conflagrations, Elk City had a fire last week and considerable loss occurcd. The Democrat office had a narrow escape from the flames. The office now has to be entered by ascending a ladder and going through a dilapidated window, but The Democrat is not faint-hearted, and would have issued a paper if they had lost all but two sticks full of type and one brass rule. We congratulate Brother Charlton on his pluck. Independence Daily News.

Grand Change. Last Thursday morning there was a big demand for drays wagons and teams. Frank Cross, Jim Burton and ya editor could be seen flying around town. Some of our citizens became alarmed thinking it was another fire, but upon inquiry they learned that Burton had got tired of housekeeping and was going to move back to Mr. Coy's, that Frank Cross was going to move into the house which Jim was just vacating, and thus enabled ye editor to move out of the burnt district, and back into his own house, which Frank was just vacating.

The change has been made, and we are now living under our own vine and fig tree, where we have a faint idea of supports this belief. K. Star.
