we made slight mention last week had his pre-
liminary examination before Esq. White on Fri

The Luse case which has been attended at lola
with such interest is now ended, the State and
his enemies failing to make case against him.
Luse is still in very poor health, suffering from
the cowartily and brutal usage received when

southern part of the State. 1t is expected that

A petition has been circulated this week for
funds with which to purchase u set of instru-
ments for cornet band in this city. The dOna-
lions were liberal, and the band is probably q
fixed fact.
Some persOl or persons broke into the back
door of Carl kuhnke's saloon on the west side,
last Friday night, and made OF with catldy Of
tobacco, about 500 cigars and probably some
liquor. a boy found the tobacco on Julian

in Chicago, illinois, for some time, returned to
FredOnia last Saturday.
More criminal cases are on the docket for trial
at this term Of District Court than have ever
before been tried in two whole years.
From the Burlington Pafrfof:-
Our county has lost, in the last yesr los head of
horses, some by diseases that have puzzled horse
doctors.
As an evidence Of general prosperity in our
county and city, We can hear of no one willing
to work, who cannot get employment ut fair
wages.
j II. Huggins brought to town Tuesday, the
best looking load OF new corn We have ever seen
on our streets. The ears were all sound, ripe
and heavy. and there were over thirty bushels on
the wagon. He says his field this year will aver
age e. bushels to the acre, but he can pick out
some acres that will average 100 bushels per
acre Such corn is splendid advertisement for
Kansas.
We have made occasional references to choice
herds of cattle shipped from this county, and be-
iieve no county can excel it for quality and
weight Of stock. We believe, however, Satur-
day, VIM. Crotty had the honor Of shipping The
lot in the State far as size AMI weight
is concerned. One hundred and eighty five head
of his herd average 1922 pounds each, and they
were huge mountains Of flesh.
F. ON the Neosho Falls Record
W. ii. Siavcns and l.. NJ. Alderman, of lola.
were IN town last Friday looking AFTER the horse
thieves.
We made u business visit to lola last week and
found the town ''boOming," and the people
happy The evidences of awakened prosperity
is noticeable in the numerous buildings going up
and the general improvements and activity upon
the streets. lola is getting glimpse of that
brighter day that all have long anticipated.
J. Il. Purlom was arragned before Esquire
White on last Monday upon charge OF forging
an endorsement on u certain prOmissOry note.
A fser considerable bushw hacking by the attOr-
neys, on either side the defendant waivei an eX
animation and gave bond for his appearance AT
the next term of the district court in the sum Of
three hundred dollars.
There is some talk of 4 Judicial convention, in
this eth, judicial District, for the nomination of
candidate for Judge for the ensuing four years.
We are opposed to q Judicial convention for
several reasons; do not think the office of Judge
should ever Ike looked upon rs political one. or
its incumbent feel that it is held by virtue of his
political sentiments; he should feel that higher
and nObler sentiments were the
badges of his success; besides We know that ii
being easier to pack a convention, than to de-
,eive the people of a whole county or district, it
is far more likely that an undeserving man would
succeed in the convention than before the people.
We are in favor Of each man running on his own
merits and fitness for Office, unaided by the pres
ise or influence of party nomination.
