Sid Clarke, who contemplates running
as an independent candidate for state
senator over in Douglas county, should
remember that a sore-head can never be
made to look impressive on a political
gonfalOn.
Martindale last week sold five hundred
head of steers that averaged fifteen hun
dred pounds to the head, at four cents
per pound making an average value of
$50 to the head, and an aggregate of
$4,000. This is fair average crop for
one person to turn off in this county.
T. G. Thurston, who is under arrest at
Leavenworth for shooting at Col. Dan
Anthony last summer, made application

The Commonwealth says that Judge
Muse, of the Newton Republican, was
in Topeka yesterday to present his case
and that of T. B. Murdoch as opposing
candidates for state senator in the 29lh
district, to the Republican state central
committee. No action has yet been
taken in the matter, but we trust the
settlement of the question will tend &c
promote harmony and the best interest,
of the party in Harvey and Butler
counties.
A'series of resolutions recently passed
by the NJ. Z. congregation at Hutchison
and published in the Commonwealth o

Elder Mitchell in resigning his charg
