AN INSULT.

At the request of a number of the
friends of Miss Feasley we publish the
following anonymous letter that was
sent her this week. They cannot imag
inc why any one should write such let
ter to a young lady who is probably on
her death bed:
Miss FEEsLER feel it my duty to
say to you that if you and one or 2 Of
your nurses are not more careful how
you talk bout folks who waite on you
you will soon have no friends at tall
Mrs haverstack and Mis- Friend and you
have kept lots of folks from comming to
see you by the way you all talked. now
1 think the peple have been good to you
and you ought to be glad and if Misses
haverstack don't be more careful she viii
have to take care of yoa all lone, and 8
bout that time she will quit too for my
part I think there is no use of SO much
setting up. now remember that wei
folks have feelings as well as sick one:
no more at this time.
WISH YOU WELL.

We copy the following from the
Democrat, published at Woodland, Cali
fornia:
Woodland can probably boast of more
good musicians than any town in the
State of its size. We have some excel
lent performers, and DOW can add to the
list Miss Gertrude Walker, daughter of
Postmaster Walker, who has lately come
from Chicago, ILL.,, to Woodland. Miss
Walker has classical education in music
and has been awarded . medal by the
Chicago Musical College, one of the best
musical institutions in the United States.
She plays the piano. violin, pipe organ,
reed organ and guitar, and we believe
intends to take few scholars in music
when the family gets settled in their new
home.

NEWSPAPER LAWS.

Any person taking newspaper regularly from
the postofhce, whether directed to his name or
another's, is responsible for the payment
IL Q person order his paper discontinued he
must pay all arrearnges, or the publisher may
continue to send it until the payment Is msde,
and collect the whole amount, whether the psper
is taken from the Office or not.
The courts have decided that refusing to take
newspapers and periodicals from the pOstOflice or
removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prina
facie evidence of intentional fraud.
Papers may be sent 10 subscribers until an
express order to discontinue is received, and all
arrearages are paid as required by law. Merely
returning number Of the paper is not sufficient.

AT the special meeting of the City
Council last Monday evening, called for
the purpose of taking action on Mr..
Kuhne's petition for saloon license, the
committee on license made two reports.
The majority report was to the effect that
the petition lacked few names 1--WE did
not learn just the number ofhaving the
requisite number of signers; the minority
report by Mr.. Cowan claimed that it
lacked quite a number of names. The
Council adopted the majority report,
refused to grant the license and returned
the papers to Mr.. Kuhne. And lola
to her credit be it said-is still without
q licensed saloon.

MIR. Munger lost his fine bay stallie

MIR. Munger lost his fine bay stallion
last Monday. For some two or three
weeks he had noticed that at times the
horse experienced considerable difficulty
in breathing, and he had tried all known
remedies for throat diseases but they
failed to give relief, and last Monday
while on the road to Humboldt it fell
down and died. An examination showed
that it had died from suffocation caused
by some feshy substance that had grown
in its throat or windpipe. Horsemen
here have never seen or heard of such q
case. The horse was valuable one and
it is a heavy loss to Mr.. Munger.

The county is watered by tie Neosho
river, which flows through it from N.
w. to s. E., and by its tributaries in the
middle and western portion and by the
Marmaton and Usage in the east. Each
of these streams is skirted by q belt of
excellent timber and flows through fine
alluvial bottoms from half a mile to a
mile in width. Water for domestic pur-
poses is found in springs and wells of
moderate depth.

PRODUCTS.

As elsewhere stated this county is we'll
suited to all the productions of this
latitude, but is especially adapted to the
growing of wheat, corn, fruit, and to
stock raising; all of which succeed ad-

inexhaustable supply of native grasses
both for pasturing and for hay-ofIers to
the stock raiser most inviting field, and
makes this one of the most certain and
remunerative branches of husbandry
that any one can engage in.
