which he is general managing agent for
four States, are now manufactured in
Buffalo, New York.
Mr.. Howe has a number of active
agents already employed, but he still
lacks few, and agents can get desirable
situations by application to him. He has
machines in less than year. We have
bought three from him, for members of
our own family, and they give entire sat-
isfaction.

Go to G.. M Martin & Sons and get a
pair of these nice Kid Button Boots.

Tom Delay kept at US to come down to
his livery stable. We did not altogether
know what he was driving at, but as we
knew him to be one of the most kind
hearted men living, we did not suppose
he meant any harm; so on Saturday af-
ternoon we concluded to take a little
pleasure ride about town, and went down
to get rig. Then we understood what
it was that Tom wanted US to see. He
had two or three great rooms in his build
ing jammed full of new buggies and vehi-
cles of almost every description, and had
the street half filled with the old ones
run out of the way. Tom now has one of
the best furnished livery stables in the
State.

A Cheap Hat.

My dear" said Mrs Stebbins, as he
husband came home on Saturday evening
II must have some change to pay for ny
new hat; must have it done before thu
musical entertainment, on the twelfth.
bought cheap hat this time-only cos
me dollar and quarter; 1 though
| I'd go on the cheap scale, this summer
With little trimming, can make my
cheap hat look just as well as any o
| them.
"All right, my DEAR" said s. here's
your dollar and quarter"
On Monday evening when S. came
home, he met his wife at the door, smil
ing like crocodile.
my dear, I'm getting my hat trimmed
wish you'd give me two dollars, to get
some cream colored silk to line it with
it's going to look real fine" S. handed
her two dollars.
On Tuesday evening, when Stebbins
came home, he noticed that his wife was
very nervous about something. At sup.
per she had no appetite. She sat down
at the table; then she went and stood by
the window; then she picked up book;
then she laid it down again; then she
walked about the room in an aimless sort
of way as though life was burden,
which she longed to be rid Of Stebbins
noticed all this and wondered at it,
"What is the matter this evening, my
dear?' asked S., as his wife came and sat
down by the table again.
She looked at him with eyes in which
hope and dependency were about equally
pictured. as she said:
II must go up street this evening,
John; l am going to tell them not to
trim my hat for me- it don't cost much
but hate to be asking for little dribs of
money all the time. I'll just give it up,
and done with it"
"Oh, pooh, I'd do nothing of the kind
answered the husband. 81 s'pose it won t
cost but dollar or two more, at the out
side-I'll foot the bill. How much will
you want p
A sudden gleam of triumph lit up the
face of the wife, and she began to emu
merate the little items that were to finish
up the new hat: well, there's the silk
lining-Ive paid for that; there's the
fowers-I want two flowers they will
cost four dollars and half; then there's
the plumes-theyl cost three dollars
then there's the ribbon-thatll be two
dollars"
There, there, never mind, just take
this" said S., getting little nervous
and handing her ten-dollar bill Then
he took his evening paper, and settled
down to read. mentally calculating that
'he was we'll rid of that hat" Hearing
q rustling at his back. he looked around
and beheld his wife, smiling sweetly al
| him.
MY DEAR" said she, laying her hanc
upon his shoulder, there's something
forgot about the hat-the streamers-
l want two streamers-they'n be dolla
and half"
"All right all right, my dear" said S.
smiling, "but now, let me tell you some
thing When you want hat, mex
Spring, don't buy cheap one-try on
that will cost at least two dollars"

understand that they sold eleven ma

sell are of the very best, is fact so well

One day last week there was big jury
trial before Mayor James. Mrs. Sprouse,
widow of the late Charley Sprouse, who
once resided here, mad been arrested for
keeping a house of prostitution. We
rarely mention matters of this kind, but
we think this case deserves mention. For
several years there have been from one
to three notorious houses of prostitution
tolerated in this town. There have been
the aristocratic ones, where the proprie-
tors have sported very fine clothes, costly
iewelry, and driven fine horses and car
riages then there have been the low,
cheap, shabby dens. Mrs. Sprouse kept
one of the latter, and, like the low order
of doggery keepers, she received attention
from the authorities. She was found
guilty, and sentenced to pay fine of $25,
and sent to Jail for 80 days.
We find no fault with the Mayor. He
was full lenient. We learn that the evi-
dence showed deplorable state of NOR
ais. A large number of mere boys testi-
fed to their own degradation, and did so
exultingly, and with brazen- faced i'm
pudence that ought to put them on the
chain-gang. Cannot our Council pass an
ordinance to punish the men and boys
who engage in this business If men and
boys were not degraded far beneath the
lowest of the brute creation, there would
be no demand for such dens of infamy.
We learn that some of the sons of some
of best families in Jackson were exposed
in the recent trial. Will not the parents
of these boys wake up, and demand of the
authorities that sufficient laws be passed
and properly enforced, to put a stop tc
this terrible vice2

very worthy citizen of Jackson, has been
in Kansas for some time, and will proba-
bly, make that place his permanent home.
His health entirely failed while here,
caused perhaps by his sedentary life,

been engaged in out door work, mostly
dealing in cattle, and his health is very
much improved. About a month ago,
while driving team, he got one of his
arms broken, but he is getting along with
it pretty well.
