fence aud security TO the general pub
lie, but one Of considerable revenue TO
the government, 1t has been practi-
caily demonstrated IN Britain and

of the depositor is CONSERVED il is per-
fectly safe rs the credit of the institu-

While we have never been accused
Of blowing" Onr town and county, for

our progress. We arc certain no city
in the state of Kansas, whether first,
second or third class, has made the i'm
provements and finished as many build
ings this fall and winter as Winfield
and even now, our plasters tell us
there is such q demand for houses,
they have TO adopt the old eastern plan
Of plastering, and let the plastering
on the walls Of the houses freeze dry
this winter in order to accommodate
the wants of purchasers, and when
person speaks of keeping open honses
in Winfield now, it is understood the
doors and windows are open for the
to dry, so that the building
can be occupied.

There is not the least doubt that here is the hes
water privilege in the state OF Kansas The grea,
Arkansas River, its source in the Rocky Noun

many tributaries in winter The w1ter is ALWAYS

There is an abundance Of water during the whole

ing charged with stealing and carrying away
a " dispensatioH," said 70 be the property OF
Richmond Lodge Of knights Je,hro. The
names OF AbraD Hall, Cornelius Harris,
Philip Gray, W. J. s. Bowe, and other poll
tcians Of note, were on the list of witnesses,
and long line OF Knignts occupied posi-
,ions as spectators. 1t appeared from the
evidence of Philip Gray that he was president
and Booker secretary of the Lodge when il
was first organized. Booker and others raised
the constitutional question whether or not the
Lodge had ever cen legally constituted. he
was fually expelled, butretained in bis posses
sion the = di-pensatlon and probably some
other papers belonging, or said to belong, 80

Booker took possession of the "dispensa
