MONDAY, Oct 6.
Some of the kids We're inclined to
have little row on Saturday night, but
a dampness was cast on their ardor by
Alex. Cunningham, and they finally re-
tired better if not wiser boys. Boys re-
member the European plan is best-for
boys.
By selling cheap we make it pay.
For trade is active every day at NJ. Glib
sons.
Will Swim had a COW come home a
few days since, with long handled fork
sticking in her side. The fork was four

Jim Crock-everybody knows Jim
Jim has quit farming and settled down
to the shoemaker's bench where he can
be found at all times Jin's specially is
either new or old work.
We still have few quarts of cranber-
ries in stock and the weather is a little
warm for them. Couldn't you favor us
with an order? NJ w. GIBSON.
1 wish to ask, editor News, if there is
any one who can tell the present status
of the "Kaw Trust Land" You have
already published in the NEWS what
purports to be instructions from the
land commissioner, but it only mystifies
instead of instructs. What we want to
know is: What are the necessary steps
to be taken to secure these and when is
it to be done? Some one in authority
could put this in such language that
man of ordinary intelligence could un-
derstand, but they have neglected up to
the present time so to do. Whole sections
are left out of the instructions in fact,
almost all the improved land is left out
D. Proctor called a minute yesterday
morning, but we were just preparing to
take charge of our class in Sunday
school and could not entertain him
long. Call again d. P. when your have
longer to talk. KENO.
We are now receiving a nice line of
fresh crackers, jumble's, etc.

stone ROSTERS that amt in the business,
don't understand the business, and would
have to take you to Miller's Office to draw

demand for land, both claims and decided

in the hands of Miller, if you wish to sell

Miss May F. Estabrook went up on
the train last evening, and met with quite
an ovation here. Miss NJ. was on hel
way to Council Grove, where she will

friends in some towns the she has in
Americas, but they must be larger towns
