Editor Traveler: Harvey Devore, a young man oi more than ordinary promise, and brother of Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Wells of this place, died at his fa-ther's residence in Harper countj, on Monday last. And on Tuesday, the day following, his nephew and and namesake, Harvey Wells, infant son of and Louisa Wells, died of membranous croup. Yesterday the procession which early in the morning had gathered at Mr.

Wells' residence, moved slowly away to the residence of Mr. Devore in Harper county, some ten miles, where a very affecting scene was witness? by all present. An old man whose head is white with I he frost of more than eighty winters a young man on a sick bed, to all appearances at the point of death, and another in his coffin- all in the same room, where the cries and sobs of numerous friends, and the copious rushing of tears, made the scehe one long to be remembered. The procession from Caldwell was joined by that of the young man, then repaired to a high knoll, where in a large grave the two Harveys, uncle and nephew, were placed side by side. Within no grave-yard walls they rest, Where willows droop and cypres9 twine; But on the prairie's heavinjj breast They sweetly wait the end of time The strong yonnr triah and little child Alike have fallen 'neath the sod, O'er which the winter winds blow wild And withered grasses gently The 70uug man left his traps and gnn, And weeping friends with bleeding heart; The babe, so sweet, so fair, and young.

Was struck by death's keen glittering dart. Howl, ye winds! around this grave. And grasses burn, and coyotes bark; Te cannot wake the sleeping ons Till Christ shall hid them, "Bise! depart!" Then cease ye, friends, to scatter tears For those who left a world so rife. But look ye np to Christ, who is The Resurrection and the Life I Treaty Between Spain and Cuba Havana via Key West, Jan. 24.

Further particulars will be given in our next issue "and don't you forget it." Rev. S.

B. Fleming was formally in stalled as permanent pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this place last Sunday morning. The officiating minis ters were Dr. T. Hill of Kansas City, Rev.

J. P. Harsen of Wichita, Rev. J. E.Platter of Winfield.

and Rev. A. M. Mann of Belle Plaine. The services, though long, were very interesting, and free from that te uiousncss so common to such occasions.

In the evening Rev. Harsen preached to a large audience, lhere being no services at either of the other churches, the house was filled both morning and evening. Dr. Dean, of Wichita, was one of the compa- nyj but took no active part In the services rom tne leiearam ot last week we learn of a case of accidental shooting of a man by the name of Austin on last Tuesday afternoon. Mi Austin had started out for a chicken hunt and not re turning in the evening, search was made by his anxious friends, who found him in a corn field, shot through the head.

He had evidently stumbled forward and fallen, the gun discharging itself and the ball passing through the cheek and lodg ing in the back of his head. The jury brought in a verdict of accidental shoot ing. The deceased leaves a wile and child ren. Accident. An accident a very seri ous nature befel Mr.

John Linton, of Bol ton township, on Wednesday last, through the breaking down, of a scaffold upon which he was standing. He was at work upon J.

Eldridge cashier, and they have al ways been regarded (and are yet by those who know them) as men above suspicion The Fraker is making it seriously inconvenient for all who were in any way connected with him. Died On Thursday, January 25th 1877, of dropsy, Mrs. Dwyer, aged 52 years, wife of Harvey Dwyer, of Beaver town ship. The deceased lady was a much respected and earnest Christian, aud the poor of her neighborhood haye lost a friend indeed. Mr.

Dwyer has the sym pathy of many friends in this his hour of desolation and trial. The funeral took place on Friday, the 26th. The Cowley County Telegram comes this week enlarged to a fifty-jslx column paper and much improved in appearance. While we advocate the superior claims of the Traveler upon the people of Cowley county, still we couldn't blame the farmers should a few of them pay $2.50 for the Telegram Southern Kansas has been herself again during the past week, the balmv. sm-inir like atmosphere rendering fires useless the greater part of the day, and making those coained in-doors long for out-of- doors employment or, rather, a little more out-of-doors and not quite so much I employment.

The $35 per flay b'usi nss didn't pan out in this section, and transferring this lucrative agency to another person, he engaged in the more con genial occupation of "hash-slinging" at the Central Avenue Hotel, devoting his spare moments to taking notes of the rapid advancement in civilization, in this part of the country and informing house builders and others that he was reporter for the Atchison Champion. As "time slipped by on leaden wings," he gradually became confidential, and fn formed the boarders of a wife he had' in Chicago, whose father was immensely wealthy, and who wrote such touching letters to him, praying that he would come back to her aims that her "dear papa' would speedily start him in business with a portion of his hoarded millions. Occasionally one of these loving epistles would be found by some member or the nousetiojoj ana upon it being re- turned to bimj festive van would explain as above, taking such opportunity to show a photograph of this wife of his bosom a creature of surpassing loveliness.

Recent developments have caused some to suspi cion that V. K. penned the letters himslf and he was an artistic chirogranher 1 and purposely placed them so that they might catch the eve" of some passers-by. He was a frequent visitor to some locality in Sumner county rather too frequent, considering that he was "just from the East" and during his last visit he con ceived an idea which for purposeless dev iltry is hard to equal. We refer to tho article on the death of a Miss Helen Grey, published in last week's issue, the partic ulars of which he furnished to the editor of this paper.

We are now informed that the eniire account as given by him was false; that there was a lady bf the above name who died there, but of a true and proper diseasp, and not by suicide. How true this is, we cannot say. We are loth to believe that even such a consummate imbecile as Kelso would thus deliberately strike at the reputation of a girl, and she in ber grave at the time. He had further informed the folks that his "darlins wife" was to be here on last Wednes day's stage, and set about preparing a room for the two; but when the vehicle arrived (the stage, we mean), he evinced no desire to rush out and welcome her (the wife, this time), saying that he had concluded to meet her in Missouri. Act ing upon this determination, he collected the few accounts owing him (he was also a vender of "Havana" cigars), and Thurs- uay morning saw mm sateiy on.

Gone to meet Jones, "one of the representative men of Ohio." Mr. J. C.

Frjker, late President of the defunct First National Bank of Wichita, has "grne where the woodbine twineth and the moon ceaseth to shine one in search of a lKlfce in soaie vast wilderness Sonic boundless contiguity of shade, Where rumors oppression and deceit" will not be annoying his over -sensitive nature which has received a severe shock in the past few months. From the Em poria News we learn that Mr. Fraker com menced his western career as a Methodist minister in Emporia, in 1850, but after ward became a carpenter and then county treasurer, dealing at the same time in such outside business as old clothes and Texas steers. He soon turned the finances of Lyon county "topsy-tnrvy He then went to Eldotadoj and finally to Wichita, where he opened a bank on a borrowed capital of $1,200, and ran the concern until it broke, carrying down te rum many of the ex-Reterend's minister ial friends. That dog has had his day, and the sooner he is placed where he will do the most good, the better it will be for the community at large.

Mrs. Cobacgh desires us to say that the article published in the Traveler of last week, purporting to have come from her husband, is utterly untrue, and purely malicious on the part of the writer. She nas resided in this part of the county since lasi summer, and during that time has lived a life above reproach, working by tneeeicin private families for the sup- port oi ner two boys. Mr. Cobaugh sent ucr uere, paying ner way nimsen, and she expected him to follow; but for reasons of nisowniie chose to act differently, and leave her to provide for herself and chil dren There is some doubt as to whether Mr Cobaugh penned the advertisement referred to, and should Mrs.

Cobaugh be- come satisfied of this, she may have more to say. Rev.
