By an oversight no mention was
made in the DAILY NEWS Monday
of the fire which consumed the house OF
Louis Laborn, at the Junction last Sat
urday evening. The flames originated
in the kitchen. and an old lady who was
sleeping upstairs narrowly escaped with
her life, being nearly smothered to death
when she was discovered. The build
ing and most of its contents were con
sumed, but the loss is probably nearly
covered by an insurance of $500. The
damage is very light in comparison with
what it might have been had not two
car loads of gun powder which were
standing on the track directly in front o.
the house when the flames first burs
forth, been hastily removed.

A TIMELY rESrIMONIAL
RESOLUTIONS of Respect aud SympatE
Adopted by the Lyon County Bar
Upon the Receipt of the Intel
llgence Of the Death of
4S.a D-.aHAa~S

lIgence OF the Death of
the President.
On the receipt of the news of the
death of the President, the district courl
Of Lyon county, Kansas, adjourned.
Whereupon Judge Buck called tbs
bar to order aud his Honor, Judge
Graves, was chosen as chairman.
Judge Buck offered the following
resolutions and made some appropriate
remarks, on the life and character of the
late Chief Magistrate, at the conclusion
of which, upon the motion of Captain
5terry, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, On the morning of July
q, 1881, at the national capital, oul
Honored Chief Magistrate James Abran
Garfield was shot down by an assassin
since which time he has fingered be
tween life and death, until on the even
ing OF September 10, 1881, he died
mOurned by the entire nation;
THEREFoRE, Be it resOlced by the
members of the Lyon county bar as
sembled,
1st, That as a conservative element Of
the community in which we live, We con
dcmn in the severest terms, the dasiardly
act which has resulted 50 disastrously.
Cd. That to the widow and fatherles,
children and aged mother, dearer nov
than ever before, we tender in common
with English speaking people every
where, our sorrowful sympathies in thi;
hour of terrible trial, and realizing how
Inefficient is all that we can do, We
point these stricken ones to that common
father, who has ever been their trusted
support in time of need.
3D. That we point with pride TO the
uniformly successful and noble career Oi
James Abram Garfield, rising from OBJ
scurity TO eminence, by his own effort
and adjoining every vocation of life, al
student, jurist, soldier and statesman
and finally bringing TO the execuiiy,
char that full measure of intelligent re
fined and christian manhood which shall
make his administration prominent il
the annals of our country.
4th. That recognizing the dangers and
probable disaster attendant upon anJ
marked changes in the management Of
our national affairs, we invoke for the
Hon. Chester A. Arthur that conserya
tive wisdom which alone can lift his adj
mInistration above the impOrtunate
clamor of friends and associates, be they
ever so dear, lOng-tried or conspicuous
and permit and assist the nation to work
out the grand mission upon which il il
now so far advanced; feeling, as we do
that the long suffering Of the martyred
president has more than corrected sny
errors of human Judgment, and that rad
ical changes would be unwise, unpOpu
lar with and int0lerable to the American
people.
9Th. That these resolutions be pub
lished and q copy thereof be presented
10 the district court with the request thai
lhey be spread upon the record.

this fine improvement was in the neigh.
3 borhood of $1,000. all but $4,000 of
which is provided for. This, in
view of the fact that the
fathers, when they came here little
over year ago, assumed an indebted
ness of 5000, shows the excellence OF
their financial management, as the order
now owns ten lots and the convent
which was dedicated Sunday. Fol
this flourishing condition of affairs
much credit is due the Superior, Father
Dominic Myer, who is gentleman OF
fine capabilities, and has made many
Friends by his courteous department to
all with whom he comes in contact.
