was cooking her dinner on one of those deadly gasoline stoves yesterday. The fire went out, and then she discovered that the tank was empty. After filling it she lighted the burner and an explosion followed. She
smothered the fire with a quilt and little damage was done. E.E. Thompson, who is called the "prince of tramps," arrived in Quincy yesterday. He
is walking a year wager of $1,000 and must make an average of ten miles a day. He started from Fredricksburg, Va. Thompson is a nice looking, well dressed young fellow, and says he has had several offers of
marriage from foolish girls who have read or heard of his trip. He exhibits several letters from ladies proposing matrimony. From Quincy he expects to go to Kansas City, thence through Kansas, Indian Territory,
Texas, Mexico, and Central America, and end his jaunt in Panama, next April. Beardstown Star: George Hendricker of Aurora, and Christ Hendricker
