through the city Friday noon Of last
week. The cornet band and perhaps 4
couple of hundred Of citizens met him at

received with cheers. Parnell is young
man, and has created quite sensation in
America.

the building and grocery business of
LANDER, & Kittridge, will move into his
new quarters some time next week.

| months to close out their stock of boots
and shoes. Amos will feel more at home
In his old quarters, as he occupied that
building before when in company with
Mr.. Lambert.
! The voters Of tho first ward. will in
our judgment, do very unwise thing. if
they do not re.elect Mr.. L. n. Griffith JUS
tice of the peace. With all his peculiari-
ties, none can truthfally say thathe is not
clear headed, we'll informed and able dis
penser Of law and justice. We expect to
see him elected, but We want him 10 have a
large majority. We say this much on
our own hook.

estate business, having sold 1855 acres of
Kansas land near Topeka, in the valley
Of the Kansas river, to Mr.. D. D. Sargent,

Mr.. Sargent's farm of 1875 acres and pay
ing Mr.. Sargent $1,000 in cash. The
farm adjoins Mr.. ]. T. sargent's, of boil
ing spring fame. Whether Mr.. Dan Sar-
gent leaves for Kansas or not, we cannot
say.

March is here. 1t is now time for
our farmers TO begin the springs work IN

plements ready for use, repairing fences
and gates, getting the summer fuel ready,
picking up all the loose boards and wood
that lie ro,ting on the premises, cleaning
the cellars, picking over vegetables. Oh,
there's deal Of work for farmers to do
this month.
City election next Tuesday. A JUS
tice of the peace for each ward, in addi-
ton to the usual list IF officers, are to be
elected. The license question also is to

the reelection of nearly all Of the present

justices than Griffith and Noble; better
Recorder than Robert Griffith; a better

ter Assessor than Oscar Ayers? 1fcheer-

--CoNsuMPuoN.-D Wednesday of
last week ,inWindom township, Mrs. Levi
Foss. She had been in failing health for
more than a year, and ~ the passing
months brought greater weakness, she
was daily preparing for the change
which she knew was surely and swiftly
coming. Her mind was clear and her
faith strong up to the very last. 1t will
! be hard for the little family to realize
that tho loving wife and gentle mother
can come back to them no more; that the
last words Of counsel have been listened
TO, the last look of the dear face taken,
and that wife and mother will be with
them only % the memories Of hex preci.
