STILL WITH THEM.

Dr. Leech Still Master of the Situa­

tion at Atchison.

The following special from Atchison, Kas., would indicate that Dr. Leech would be continued as pastor there: "The M. E. church held their regular quarterly conference last evening at the church. The congregation held a special meeting at which Judge Gilbert presidsd by request. They unanimously resolved that as Dr. Leech had not resigned by writing, and as his resignation has not yet been accepted by the bishop, he is still their pastor. Judge Gilbert was requested to go before the church board and ask that Dr. Leeeh be reinstated and allowed to go on with his work. Judge Gilbert presented the matter, but practically no action was taken. Thus it is in the hands of the bishop.'"

A Peculiar Suit.

A peculiar suit was filed in the circuit court Tuesday, in which the daughters-in-law of Mrs. Nancy A Paxton are plaintiffs and Wilson Hunt defendant. The complaint alleges that in 1890 Hunt was appointed guardian of Mrs. Paxton, who was of unsound mind. At the time Mrs. Paxton owned a small farm on which she had lived continuously for sixty years. On this farm was a mortgage for §700. Hunt sold the farm to Elmer Bennett, who arranged to pay $1,000 later on, assume the mortgage and care for Mrs. Paxton the remainder of her days. Bennett at once moved in and cared for tho old lady until the 28th day of last August, when he sold the place to Hunt, moved away and left the old lady unattended. The daughters-in-law asked Hunt to provide for the old lady, but he paid no attention to their requests. They then moved in and took charge of her, for which task they think Hunt should pay tham at the rate of $5 per day. The old lady is now 83 years old and completely helpless.

Snakes Hold High Carniva Tuesday afternoon there arrived at the Monon depot from tho south, two boxeB of snakes, consigned to some of the fair ground shows. The reptiles came as baggage and agent Clark put them snugly away In the bagage room. About an hour later Mr. Clark had occasion to go into this room, and as he opened the door, he was horrified to find the room fairly alive with creeping, crawling, hissing snakes. They were in complete possession, having escaped from their boxes, and nobody about the station was brave enough to dispute their claims. A boy was dispatched to the fair grounds fcr the boss snake sharmer, but it was nearly noon of the following day before this enticing individual succeeded in coaxing the snakes back into their boxes. Even now the depot force fear that one or two might have been overlooked and enter the room with trepidation, ready to jump for their lives at the least unusual noise.

A Close Call.

Oharley McNeeley, who drives a wagon for Williams Bros., the lumbermen^ had an experience Tuesday that he will not likely forget this side of the grave. In driving down the hill on east Market street to the Monon crossing, he failed to hear the morning whistle of the north bound passenger train and was fairly on the track before the flagman had presence 0! mind sufficient to stop him. But it

waB

too late and the en­

gine struck the rear of the wagon, throwing McNeeley nearly twenty feet. The wagon was overturned and badly wrecked and the horse thrown violently to the ground, but fortunately was not seriously injured. McNeeley escaped with only slight bruises but received a scare that almost turned his hair white.

A Bad Spill.

A camp of Gypsies, near the Lee tile factory, caused the team of George Coffenbury, a log hauler, to attempt to run away Monday evening. In plunging and kicking, tho horses carried their heavy load to the Bteep embankment on the south side of the road, and the whole outfit went down with a crash. Coffenbury escaped without injury but tho wagon was badly wrecked and the horses seriously cut in a barb wire fence.

A Great Race

It was, to be sure, for popularity between the greatest fair on earth and the Hoboe cigar, the greatest five cent cigar on earth. They were in evidence everywhere. Every lovor of a good smoke tried them and thousands of them were sold upon the grounds. Horsemen were delighted with the Hoboe and purchased many boxes to take away with them. Everybody likes'em.
