Ot all the people who have kindly re

for tho Frosbyterians. Just after wo
wont to press Tuesday night Rev. F. G.

came all tho way down to the ofllco,
loaded with good things. Thoro were
sandwiches and cako galore, and thoro
was n half gallon bucket loaded full.by
1 S. Dow" with as delicious ico cream
as a hungry printer over Hopped his lip
over. Thoro wero only three of ns leit
in tho oflkc, but we mado n noblo re
solvo not to let any thing go to waste.
Fortunately, just aa we wero in tho
thick of the battle, reinforcements ar
rived in tho shape of four members of
tho Marehficld Minstrel Co., Messrs
Stauff, Durgan, Pratt, and Schrocdor.
That rqlieved tho situation, nud the

' Lifeless Body Found
A telephone messago from the Stand
ard Oil dock, below town, yesterday"
morning brought tho news that n dead
man had decn discovered there. A
great deal of excitement was created and
practically all the loose population along
the Front street started down to view
the remains. Marshall Carter led the
van, accompanied by A. G. Aiken, who
he callod to his assistance.
As the procession moved down Front
street, it first grew rapidly in numbers
and then began to dwindle away, nntil
by tho timo tho long wharf had been
traversed the marshal's body guard had
nearly all deserted him.
When Carter and Aiken reached the
office they wero taken to where tho body
lay, in a largo ico box, turned on its
side and partly filled with sawdust. It
lay face downward, fully dressed and
with bright ilaxen hair pctping out
from under tho tut b.-ici.
Carter and Ail en examined the body,
folt of it, punched ft, moved the arms,
aud fin illy turned it over to see if they
conlJ recognizs the face. When a blank
expanse of white muslin met their view,
where the features ought tu be. Marshal
Carter arose and solemnly announced
that the thing was n dummy.
Probably Agent Dow may bo termed
the father of the dummy man, which
was mado of strong muslin and stuffed
with excelsior, Mr. Dow'a young lady
assistant acted as hairdresser,
' Later in the day, the dummy wao
brought up town and lay in sUto at the
Blanco. Then passers-by were given n
nervous shock by seeing tho figure of a
man faH from the balcony to tho street
below.
Taken altogether, tho thing mado a
lot of sport.
