Sullivan met with a horrible death on
tin* farm of ,1. T. Nelson, near War-

fell against a portable saw, his head
striking first. The saw ran into the
skull, barely reaching the brain. In
an effort to free himself, Sullivan fell
a second time, the saw striking the
right shoulder, running down the
back, tearing the ribs from the back-

surgeons removed part of the skull

I11 Kansas the percentage of increase
of debt incurred in the decade was
$201.11. as against $235.15 in Missouri.
Assuming that all taxed real estate
can be incumbered for two-thirds of
its true value, Kansas and Missouri
had respectively reached 40.24 and
23.72 per cent of the greatest possible
mortgage incumbrance reached by
the existing incumbrance. Here
again only the percentage of New
York and th * District of Columbia
exccded that of Kansas. The
percentage of the mortgage debt
to the true value of taxed
estate is found in each state to
be comparatively higher in the more
populous counties. In Sedgwick,
Shawnee and Wyandotte counties,
Kansas, including the cities of Wichi-
ta, Topeka and Kansas City, the per-
centage is 37.80 as against 25.32 for
the rest of the state. In Jackson
county and St. Louis, Mo . the per-
centage is 24.34 as against 11.41 for
the other counties.
Kansas paid in interest charges
every your on its mortgage debt $21,
018,048, almost as much as Indianar.id
Iowa together paid and more than
tho aggregate paid by Alabama, Con-
necticut. Delaware. Maine, New
Hampshire, JJregon, Rhode Island,
Tennessee and Vermont. Of t'y
total the farms paid $14,950.-
ois, or nearly $4.000.000 more tha*
Illinois farms paid and three times
what the Indiana farms gave up to
the interest collector. The average
rate of interest was 8.04 and the aver-
age amount of annual interest charge
on each mortgage. $70.
Missouri's annual mortgage interest
charge was in 1890 $10,474,070, acre
property paying $8,290,008 ol it and
lots -s. 184,008. The average annual
rate is less than in Kansas, being 7.08,

A TennMtecan Divorced From Thre«
llut Now Happily Muted*
Living in tho mountains near Mur-
freesboro, Tenn., says a correspond-
ent of the Philadelphia Times, is a
family which has a singular history
in a matrimonial way. 'lho father
owns a littlo farm and four daugh-
ters, or did own tho latter. A man
named Phillips, about iifteen years
ago, married tho eldest of these
daughters, and aftor a few years of
married life tho lady run away w.th
tho husband's sworn enemy- He
procured a divorco from her and
wooed tho second sister and took
her homo, but tho nsxt day thtj
woman turned up at homo and said
she wouldn't live with Phillips, and
aftor a time succeeded in getting
legally free from him. Then
the third sister, undaunted by what
had gone before, married the husband
of her two sisters. Soon after this
tho fellow was sent to tho penitenti-
ary for an olTense that kept him
there three years, and when ho came
out bo found that his wife's fickle
fancy had strayed while I10 was ab-
sent and had lixed itself upon a
neighbor, John Callahan. Hy law
sho was entitled to a divorco from
her husband, as ho was a convicted
felon, so getting it she married her
lover. In tho meantime the first
wifo had found that tho man with
whom she had elopod would not mar-
ry her aftor Phillipo had divorced
her, and returned homo. Then Mrs.
Callahan wandered back to her
father, for her husband No. 2 could
not or would not support her. So in
this way tho old man had once moro
his four daughters on his hands, and
Phillips was still free.
Tho youngest daughter was now
about IS and sho also foil a victim to
tho fascination tho man Phillips ap-
pears to have oxorted ever thorn all
at first, and becoming infatuated
with him consented to marry him.
Phillips went to tho father for the
fourth time to ask for a daughter's
hand and was told that I10 might
have her on condition that ho kept
her. Phillips promised, and tho
ceremony was to tako place the
following night, when tho ex-wives,
growing jealous, armed themselves
and sworo that tho marriage should
never tako place, so Phillips rode to
town and swore out a warrant again, t.
tho sisters, tolling of their throats.
Tho women were then sworn to keep
the peace, but Phillips thought it
prudent, however, to run away with
his bride to Kentucky and marry her
there. This time his matrimonial
venture seems to have terminated
happily, for ho has three children
and is prospering.
Why Ilalr Turns tlray.
llundrods of queor theories have
been advanced to account for th ?
phenomenon of hair turning gray in
the genus homo, tho latest being
this: Each hair is a hollow tube
flllod with granules of pigment and
air bubbles. As old ago approaches
tho pigment diminishes both in
quantity and quality, tho air bubbles
enlarging and expanding to take tho
place formerly occupied by tho col-
oring matter. The hair which is
tilled with these bubbles turns white
for tho same reason that the crys-
tals of whito sugar appear of that
color, tho phenomenon being d :o to
tho reflection and refraction of linlit.
Why hair sometimes turns "white in
a single night" has never been ex-
plained. True, a microscopic exam-
ination of such hairs show that the
granules of pigm nt have either been
abolished or forcod out by the air
