Tuo Local Eultor OF Inc WICHITA VtmoS
Meets an Old Friend in the Per
SON OF Rev. X. L. LOtz, OF
this Place.
The local editor OF the Wichita Times,
who was a chum of eur esteemed fellow
citizen, r. L. Lott, in "The long, long
ago." speaks thus in a recent issue of
the Times in connection with a wedding
occasion where our reverend friend was
the officiating clergymen: THE officia-
ting clergyman was an old schoolmate
and college chum of the local editor of
the Times. It has been eleven years
since we looked on his face, and many
happy hours were crowded into one as
We conversed Friday about the boys
and girls of long ago. Long agol did
we say? Well, we did not think it had
been so long until we looked into each
others eyes last night and found that we
were not boys any longer. But we
called him dob" and he called Us at.
j." the familiar names we bore when in
the flush of youth, we looked out upon
an unknown world and talked of what
we would be and do. Bob was not
much of a speaker at that time but he
was full of religion, while we could
talk glibly but didn't have enough piety
to last over Sunday. Bob has grown to
be good speaker and has kept his piety
while we still have more CAB than good
ness. But, then, Bob is a man who can
control himself-he is of German descent,
dark hair and eyes, calm, collected and
naturally a gentle man. While we are
Scotch-Irish, thin-skinned, sentimental,
inclined to slop over, raise HELM amin
ute disposition. We need such a spirit
as Bob for a daily companion; he would
put the brakes on and keep US at an
even pace on the main track. Does the
Lord in his judgment, take into consid-
GRAFTON the deposition and temperament
of men? Men do not. We have always
been judged by the wrong standard and
always condemned. It is all right for
the present. Bob will go on to heavens
gate in his majestic calmness while we
will go dashing up there out of breath.

issued to Jailer Beers to confine the de-
PENDANT, Mrs. Martin, in a cell. Here
tofore she had been under watch and al
lowed to be with the family of the jail

INSTRUCTIONS.
Gentlemen Of the Jury:
It's charged ia the Information in this
case, that the defendant on or about the
Esd day of May, A. D., 1882, at the coun-
~ of Lyon and state of Kansas, did will
fully, deliberately, premeditatedly and
with malice aforethought kill ana muir

Murder as defined by the common law
is, 1.-The unlawful killing of any reason
able creature, in being, and in the peace
of the state, by a person of sound men,
ory, with malice aforethought, either
express or implied"
The statute law Of Kansas does not
change the definition of murder, and
that which is murder as defined by the
common law is murder under our
statutes. The law of this state, how
ever, has divided murder--as above de-
two degrees. Murder in the
first degree, under the law of this state,
Is any murder-as above dedHed--whtch

SOUTH WINDSOR.

The Good Templars' lodge in this town
gave an entertainment in their hall on Satur-
day evening of last week. the real merit of
which should be publicly noticed. The OBJ
ject was to pay for their new organ which
they have lately purchased an object worthy
better house; but the audience, though
small. was no less appreciative and no less
entertained, and was kept in the best o..
humor for two hours while pleasing and
varied programme was produced. All who
took part in the exercises acquitted them
selves in creditable manner and well
earned the applause which greeted them.
Were to particularize, | would say that the
paper by Mr.. Frank Coburn and Miss May
Gordon, the solos by Miss Lizzie Donald and
Miss Ella Groat and the select reading by
Mr. Frank Coburn are deserving of special
mention. The poem by Miss Matte Bryant,
in character, was alone worth the price Of
admission. while it demonstrated the fact
that Miss Bryant is possessed of the rare
gift of imitation; at the same time the refine
ment of good reading and correct elocution
were not sacrificed as is usually the case when
one attempts to initiate. The music was I'M
der the direction of Mr.. Will Moody and was
one of the pleasing features of the entertain
ment. To particularize further will not be
profitable. | am unable to give the amount
realized, but il is understood to be quite small.
Should we be favored with another entertain
ment at some future time it can safely be
said that very much larger audience will
greet them. W. IL. y. V.

done.-The fire at Gardiner was seen at this

not be very bountiful this year. Would it
not be better for farmers to feed their small
apples to stock instead of manufacturing
cider which does no good to any one except
for vinegar: Ciderdrnkine has become a
great evil among the rural population of our
State, as many laboring men will not work
unless it is furnished them by the farmer,

We find things quite lively here. and all
are hurrying to get things in readiness for the
meetings.
The Brunswick society are hurrying for.
ward their chapel, which will be finished this
week. 1t is the most commodious of any one
on the circle, but not so elaborate as Booth
bay. The two Bath societies will probably
worship together this season. l am not ad-
vised whether Skowhegan will erect their
society tent this year. or hold their meetings
with Augusta and Hallowell as they did las,
year. Rev. L. Bean, their pastor, is here,
having purchased the nice cottage at the foo.
of Baker avenue.
J. f. Fuller's cottage is occupied by three
Young ladies from Brunswick.
Rev. Fred Rogers is hard at work with his
people building the chapel. His family will
stay till the meetings close.
j. L. Dutton of Augusta, with his family,
has been here for nearly month He is
assisting Mr.. Bean in clearing up the grounds
and repairing buildings belonging to the
association. They are now at work on the
two-story building once owned by Skow hogan
parties on Smith avenue.
As we pass up mt. Zion" we find large
number Of cottages and tents occupied, and
as we pass down Wesley avenue We find cot
tages occupied, and SO it is all through the
grove.
All seem to be expecting great things this
year, and we trust they may not be disap-
pointed
Mr.. MOoey will have charge of the board
ing house. and all will be well provided for,
as those who have boarded with him in years
past can attest.
All trains stop at the grounds on signal,
with the exception of the express. SO the
facilities for getting here are excellent S.
