Tickets for maskers and spectators at the Kansas Paper store. Serious Runaway Accident As Jude Hendry was driving onto the bridge yesterday afternoon, one side strap loosened letting the buggy run on to the horse. The horse became unmanageable and ran away, Judge Hendry was thrown out and very badly bruised, though it is hoped no bones were broken. The buggy was considerably smashed up. Seed Catalogue The Journal office has just printed a 26 page price list and descriptive catalogue of seeds for Messrs F Barteldes & Co. It is full of interesting information for garden and farm. We are glad to see our dealers stretching out their arms for trade, Messrs Barteldes & Co are reliable and worthy men, and those who patronize them once will do so again.
