Already he has been confined tu •'risen right in our midst far more tbftB a year and in that short snare »f time many have dismissed and al most forgotten the tragedy of that December morning. The feeling •gainst Hasty has died out. The Weeding hearts of the relatives and mtlmates of the dead men have heal •d until there is little left but the noar. Rut how about George and his peo gfe? Their cup of bitterness has been filled to overflowing. His broth- •r* have been as loyal as it was pos- elble to be. They have labored hard •ad sacrificed much in behalf of their brother, and George’s constant hope hu been that the Supreme Court night grant him a new trial and that the second trial would result in a lighter sentence. But now the dark •loud of dispair lias passed between him and his sunshine of hope. The future can hold no brightness for him •ales* he simply makes up his mind to be content in prison and servo his ••nteace and his God in the best taenner he can.

Lo. the Wise Indian. There has been quite a little said about the grafter taking advantage of the Indian. It is not always thus. A laud man who wanted an Indian's signature to a deed told the Indian, who was suffering with toothache, to go to a dentist and have his teeth fixed, and said that he, the grafter, would pay the expense. The grafter did this to jolly the Indian into sign ing the deed. The Indian returned from the dentist’s with $238 worth of gold crowns in his head. The land man paid the bill. Whether the Indian sign ed the deed is not necessarily a part of the story.—Kansas City Journal. ALL TRAINS, TO STOP. TTi© following tytegram was recelv- «i yesterday afjflrnoon by Mr. A. N.
