Some weeks ago one of our most promi-
nent business men sent SIX line pay To-
cal to the Wichita Eagle, and also to the
Winfield Courier, with the request that
they each publish the same four weeks
and send him the bill. They did so, and
upon comparison it was found that MUIR
dock brothers bill was six dollars and
that Of MIllington, of the Courier, one
dollar and twenty cents-there being a
difference of oNLYIfour dollars and sixty
cents for the same amount of work. o.
course the gentleman did not propose to
stand eXtOrtion of that kind, but sent the
Eagle man what he thought would be a
fair compensation for the advertisement.
That goldfish aristocrat and government
teat sucker, Marsh Murdoch, evidently
regards our people as set of ignorama-
sus, or has the idea worked itself into his
Uranium that our people are so "lousy"
with lucre that they would not ''klck''

Billy Young Is rather an unfortunate
parsonage so far as iDjuring his limbs are
concerned. 06e day last week he was
using a sharp knife while doing some
work in his shop, when it slipped and cut
his thumb off near the first Joint. The
dismembered portion was thrown nearly
across the room, but Billy calmly walked
over, got the end of his thumb and put
1t back to its place, and at this writing the
bone has firmly knit together. Some
Yeas ago Billy was running a corn shell
Ter, when lis fore finger slipped into a
cog wheel and was cut off close to the
hand. After being ground in the cogs
for awhile, the mutilated finger was
dropped on some ice, where it lay for
some moments. After the young man
had recovered somewhat from his surprise,
he secured his finger, placed it in posi-
ton, and to-day there are but few scars
to show the fearful ordeal through which
IL passed.
