They seem to be having an epidemic
of indisposition across in Decatur coun
ty , Kansas. The report made to the
Probate Judge of that county , last
month , contained the names of sixteen
mndred sick men. In order to stop the
further advance of the dread epidemic ,
large shipments of beer , nicely conceal
ed in flour barrels , are being hurried in
to bleeding Kansas , satrapy of Decatur.
Three wagon loads of "flour barrels"
started Kansas-wardfrom this cityMon-
day evening. The boys get thirsty in
our neighboring county , and must needs
lave their whistles moistened , and verily
the innocent "flour barrel" dodge is
smooth.

As we slowly gain particulars , it ap-
) ears that the hail and wind sturm of
Sunday evening was unusually severe.
The hail was the size of hen's eggs ,
which , driven by a stiff breeze , made it
distressingly uncomfortable for man
and beast for a few minutes during the
continuance of the storm. H. H. Ber
ry was caught in the storm when within
a half mile of his homestead south of
town , and from the bruises and gashes
on head and body , one would imagine
ic had stood up before John L. for three
or four rounds. Tho narrow scope of
country south of the river where the
torm raged , suffered considerable in
crops , but fortunately the strip was very
narrow.

A man , evidently deranged , jumped
'rom passenger train No. 1 , Friday
morning , between Corona and Ft. Mor-
jan , while the train was making 35
miles an hour. The man was uninjured ,
and started to run over the prairie , re
moving his shoes after proceeding a short
listance. A large number of people
rom both the above towns spent the fol-
owing day in searching for the poor fel-
ow. He was finally found in an irri
gating ditch , his mouth , nose and eyes
alone being out of the water , and his
ntire body had the appearance of the
kin on a washer-woman's hands , after a
ong day's washing. His feet were
welled to nearly twice their usual size ,
the effect of running over cactus beds ,
which abound in that locality , and al
together he was in a most wretched and
deplorable condition. Before jumping
from the train , he handed the porter in
the Pullman car over $200 to keep for
him , as he said he was afraid "some one
would do him up. " He was kindly cared
for.

The Congregational Church was red

bright and cheery with the sweet song
of birds , Sunday , on the occasion of the
celebration of Children's Day , which
was generally observed on that day
throughout the union. A number of
those interested in the Sunday School
work were busy all day Saturday decor
ating the interior of the church in a be
coming manner , which they were ena
bled to do , through the kindness of
friends who generously offered their ser
vices , flowers , birds , paintings , etc. , to
assist in making the audience room as
pleasant and inviting as possible. And ]
all who had the pleasure of being prosj j
ent and seeing the tasty arrangement
made of paintings and flowers , evergreen
arches and trimmings , and of listening
to the musicrecitations , responsive
readings , etc. , of the children , were
highly entertained and pleased. The ex
ercises were withal creditable and en
couraging to those having the same
in charge , who are to be congratulated
upon the smoothness which characterised
the day's doings.

At a meeting held on Monday even
ing , it was ascertained that over $540
of the money subscribed for the Fourth
of July Celebration had already been
collected. The matter of location then
occupied the attention of those present.
After a spirited discussion , a vote on
question was taken , which resulted in
eight for and seven against holding the
celebration at the Driving Association
grounds. The committee on location ,
after some consultation , reported thai
they had decided to have the speaking
and fireworks in town , and the racing ,
and the different amusements at the As
sociation's grounds. Dr. Kay resign
ing , C. T. Brewer was appointed Mar
shal of the Day , with A. M. Kelly , Sam
Ashmore , D. J. Smith and J. R. Phe-
lan as assistants. Although the Driv
ing Association's grounds are quite a
distance from town , as the races will in
all probability be the most absorbing
amusement of the day , the selection for
that part of the celebration not embrac
ed in the speaking and fireworks , is the
best that could have been made.

A Midnight Hunt on the Willow.
Some hungry follows started out , last
night , for a hunt on the Willow. Just
as one of them was about to bag his
game pluck a fowl from her midnight
perch he wag astonished to find him
self bagged by the night watch. Three
brave fellows hurried him to the house ,
while the other gave No. 2 chase over
the hills. But nought but a blue streak
was visible , where a piece of his coat
tail was found , this morning , and pur
suit was abandoned , and the pursuer re
turned to scene the first. A bag of feath
ers and a pail of molasses soon appear
ed. The young fellow begged and moan
ed piteously , but his capturers relented
not , and the "young chick" was season
ed in elegant shape. Instead of devour
ing the "chick , " as he expected , a beau
tiful plumage was added to the other
wise featherless goslin , whose squackiug
qualities were thnn thoroughly tested ,
and the thongs that bound his wings
and legs were cut and the young fellow
aroseand drawing his tattered garments
about him , remarked , "I am a pretty
bird , " which was assented to by his cap
turers , provided his feathers were not so
badly ruffled.
After making every promise from stealing
to refrain ,
Was glad to go ;
Without a who-a ,
Never to return again.
His hat was placed upon his head , with
many a kindly joke ,
Whieh to remove again ,
He tried in vain ,
Then put his head to soak.
Now , Ed R. , when you hungry get ,
Just call on us again ,
For we have molasses plenty yet ,
Which is as free as rain.
