Quite a number of papers through
out the State have been publishing a
tory that Williams' Grove, the famous
Picnic Resort, may be abandoned,
owing to a recent fire having burned
oat several of the buildings. There is
absolutely no truth, whatever, in the
rumor. There were but three build

all be replaced on a much larger scale.
Work has been commenced and the
Grove will be ready to receive visitors
by June 10th. The Great Granger's
Picnic is not looking for new grounds
but will be held at the same old spot,

An exchange warns housekeepers
against the tramp sewing machine
repairer, thus : "The man who
comes around cleaning sewing
machines is to be watched. His
game is an old one, but be is still
playing it where he can. He takes
the job of cleaning the machine.
While the lady of the house is not
looking, he slips out some of .the
delicate machinery, produces a
broken piece similar to it, and
announces that it will have to be
fixed before the machine can be
used. By rare good luck he has
duplicate part, and can fix it for
three dollars and eighty cents.
Then he puts back the piece he
slipped out, collects his money and
departs to play the same game on
someone else. If your machine
needs cleaning you had better take
the head from the stand and take
it to some reliable agent or most
any good mechanic. They can clean
it in good shape, aud if repairs are
needed they can supply them at
reasonable rates. But do not let
the tramp touch the machine.
If you want good roses in June
prune back the bushes now aoout
one-third and fertilize liberally with
well rotted stable manure. Some
varieties may not need so much
pruning but setting out new roses
add a third of its bulk well rotted
manure to he earth. Loam is the
best about the plant.

(julrer.
lie. had been with (Junntrlll for two
or three years, out! gained his commis-
ion from that ollieer, when he fell in
love with 41 beautiful young southern
girl who lived ut Ind.cpemU'nee, Mo.
Shortly after the famous suck nnd
burning of Law rence, Kan., in which he
played u conspicuous part, he obtained
leave of absence and went to visit her.
At that time Independence whs full of
soldiier, nnd no sooner hadhe appeared
in the streets than they recognized
and seized him.
A drum-head court-martial tried him
and sentenced him to be bhot on the
third day following. Pending his exe
cution he was placed, in the county jail
at Independence. Word of his capture
nnd impending fate came to his lady
love kite that night. She inquired
where QuantrlU might be found, and,
mounting a horse nt midnight, rode off
alone in wnrch of him.
She found him at daybreak 30 mile
nway, and. told her story. Without
halting, except for a short rest, Quan
trill led his desperate follower back
to Independence, and she went with
them.
At noon they halted on the hillsabove
the town, and there she watched them
as at the border chief's command they
thundered down into dt and. set her

to her pleading promised to leave the
band and the border altogether.
He kept hi word, and, shortly after
word, believing that it would not be
best to begin married life in poverty,
started west in the hope of aoon win
ning a competence. For awhile h did
well, fighliing and trading on the plains,
and wias just making ready to return
when a month old letter came telling
of the death of his fiancee.
From that time on for several years
he drifted everywhere through the
west. .ow he wok a cowboy in Texas,
now a prospector in the mountains
of California, a sheep herder in
Utah, or a freighter on the trails
west from Ogden. Finally, about II
years ago, he returned to St. Joseph and
obtained a place on the city police
force During ali the time be wo here,
the past 18 years, he was accounted
one of the cheeriest natured men in
the town, nnd, though he rpoke at rare
intervals of the girl who died long ago,
even those who knew of his great at
tachment far her did noj believe that
the disappointment troubled him very
deeply, lint he never married.
In the ravings of hilot illness, how
ever, the burden of his unsettled
thoughts was of her she was th one
woman of his whole life.
