first-class sensation Monday. A woman
shot twice at her brother, We believe it
was, inficting no damage, however.
From the silence of the Interstate we
presume the case will never 60 into court
on account OF the high standing Of some
of the parties interested. AL sorts of
rumors were aAoat but Is we do not wish
to "mix" where it is not our funeral, We
are unable to give the facts. i
" Mrs. I. B. Lawyer, who is visiting her
friends and relatives in Indiana, shipped
to Mr.. Lawyer . pair of fine Co:swold
sheep, from the we'll known stock farm
of Mr.. B. F. Patton, of Washington Co.,
Ind, recently. Through some cause
they were eight days on the road and the
eve was dead on arrival here. Mr.. L.
says he would rather have lost the best
COW on his place. But as it is, with the
one received he will have . good cross
with his already partly crossed flock.
Canadian bills of various denomina
tons are becoming tolerably plenty in
this part of Kansas, and seem to be on
the increase. 1t is claimed that fully
one half of the banks of that country are
bursted, suspended, or crippled, and the
other half at discount from one half to
FIVE per cent. Many of our Western
banks are placing this discount on these
bills and it behooves our people to use
caution in accepting them. They are
not legal tender and the safest way will
be to refuse it altogether.
Some criticism of Mr.. Hankins' course
in the Senatorial election has been in

The Republicans can afford
to award their representative from this
district their hearty good will, for in
the eyes of Republicans he has done just
right. Mr.. H. voted his own sen

ed him.

If the temperance folks will permit us
o suggest q subject for discussion to fur
her the good of the cause we would call
heir attention to the providing of some
place of resort for the boys
# the city where they can be both in
tructed and entertained. The average
10Y of the period will spend his evenings
way from home. 1t is then only a
question whether billiard saloons, gamb.
ing holes, or other places of like charac-
er, will succeed in entertaining and de-
aiming them, or whether the chess club,
eading rooms, or social. presents the
reater attractions. The discussion of
