Some time last spring Mrs. R. A. Ward
left for oswego, New York, where she
has since been visiting friends and rela-
tives. About two weeks ago she wrote
that she was ready to start for home
The husband has been anxiously awaiting
her return, and still hearing nothing from
her he went over to Wellington last week
to try and learn something from her.
While he was assent letter came fron
Mrs. Ward stating that she had started on
her homeward journey, but their little
daughter had been taken seriously i'll with
scarlet fever and she had been compelled
to stop of at Buffalo with her. There
seemed to be q mystery connected with
the letter, as the name of the city was not
given, it was post marked Cleveland and
told him to address her at Oswego. As
matter of course Mr.. Ward was terribly
worried and was making arrangements to
go and meet her, when he received word
that she was back again with friends at
Oswego.

Johnny Grimes, the popular Medicine
Lodge driver. last week received two very
fine "sombreros," one from H. NJ. Hick.

testimonials OF their esteem. - Harper

The above is calculated 10 convey the
impression that Mr.. Grimes is 80 very
popular (p) with the travelling public that
the passengers are willing to make him
valuable presents for the mere pleasure Of
riding with him - which is erroneous.
There has never been driver on the line
who was so thoroughly disliked by our cit

we can learn he has few friends In Harper

C.S. Fitch, q sewing machine repairer
from Independence, this State, was in
town several days this week. He was on
the Alton train that was robbed in Mis-
souri, last week, and gave rs an inter
esting account sof The affair. He was on
his way from Chicago, and occupied a seat
In company with an aged gentleman who
seemed to be we'll fixed financially.
When the train stopped and the firing
commenced. the passengers rushed pell-
nell for the rear Of the train. Mr.. Fitch
had about $50 in his possession, and put
all but about four dollars down the back
of his neck. The old gentleman was en-.
temely nervous and shook like q leaf, %
Mr.. Fitch turned down the collar of his
coat and placed his money-about $50
under and turned it back. This the rob
bes failed TO find. When they came
along with drawn revolvers and demand.
ed his money, Mr.. Fitch obediently
dropped four dollars into their open bag
and after asking if he did not carry a
pocket book, and being answered In the
negative, they passed on. He says that it

The preliminary examination Of Mr..
Smith and his son Matt, which Was held
before Justice Davis on last Frida5, on
the charge OF branding ponies belonging to
other parties, resulted In their being bound
over in the sum of Eve hundred dollars TO
appear at the next term of the District
Court. While the Justice did what he
considered his duty in this matter. still
he and everybody else who heard B nd
er's testimony can not but believe that it
was a case of the meanest kind of mali
cIcus prosecution on the part of this man.
For some time number Of ponies had
running on the range In the western part
of the county, and no one seemed to know
who they belonged tn. Several parties,
among whom was Bender and the Smiths,
attempted to walk the animals down.
Finally Smith and son eorraled them, and
for fear they might get away, they at
cnce placed their brand upon them. As
soon as Bender learned THAT Smiths had
the horses, he sent word that they must
divide or he would "squeal' and have
them arrested for horse stealing. They
laughed at him, when he at once made
good his threats. While we have no In
terest whatever in the matter, sill we
think it damnable in any man. and espec-
tally pronounced minister, to have a
man arrested on such foul charge, be-
cause he would not divide the horses
with him. We venture the prediction
that no jury can be empanneled In this
county that will convict them, and the
costs will undoubtedly be taxed to the
prosecuting witness.

1t is not often that the boarders at our

scene as that which took place at the table
OF one house last Thursday. Two couple

hotel before, were seated by the polite
landlord, az the trancient table. Having
been used to seeing the proyender placed
upon the table in huge dishes, and every
man for himself, the motto, they began 10
look wild-eye1 and one fellow whispered
TO his sweetheart that they would try
some other hotel and see If they could get
something to Ill up with" Pretty soon
their orders were brought In, and you
should have seen the broad smile ths
played about the mouths of the two gen
uemen. In less time than it has taken
to write this local, every dish was cIeaned
and the old man wildly waved hls arm.

Col. Scarce and lady have again become
residents OF the city. They have been

two, and managed to exist after fashion
until the other day while eating dinner, a

and proceeded to coil itself in the plate
from which Mrs. Scarce had been eating.
The Col. went TO sieze the poker with

We hardly think that Prof. Mulkey's
efforts to build mp school that will be a
credit to this county, ARE properly apprecia-
ted by the community in which he resides
When he first opened his school, he was
almost an entire stranger, and his means
were also quite limited But he went to
work with the full determination to make
the enterprise q success. he advertised
very literally. and to-day the Ne licine
Lodge Scientific and Normal Institute is
more widely known than most people inn
agine. We think his efforts should be
encouraged in every possible way, and the
school will repay the city hundred fold
by advertising it abroad.
