Mr.. James T. Whitelaw and family, of
Medicine Lodge, Kas., arrived in the city
this morning, who will make Dodge their
future residence. NJ. Whitelaw was the
late county attorney of Barbour county,
who resigned his Office to come to this city
and form a copartnership with NJ. w.
Sutton in the practice of law. This will
give us strong law firm, for whom we
predict good practice in western Kansas.

Yesterday morning Geo. Friedley and
DR.. Kessler started for the insane asylum
at Ossawattomie. with Wilburn Harper.
At times for the past few days, he has
been quite rational, but he is liable at any
time to become violent and perhaps injure
himself or his attendants. 'Tis sad case,
and we trust that in short time he may
return to his family with his reason fully
restored.

CARD OF THANKS We desire to- return
our sincere and heartfelt thanks to the citi-
zens of Medicine Lodge who so kindly
rendered us assistance and council during
the latter illness in our family. Should
the occasion ever present itself, we shall
be pleased to show our appreciation in
something more substantial than words.

We had heard and read much about the
wicked city of Dodge, but never had an
opportunity of visiting the town until a
week ago last Monday, when we accom-
panied j. L. Whitelaw to his future home.
We found larger town than we had ex-
pected to see, and very nicely located.
Everything seemed lively, but the citizens
informed us that it was unusually dull
The first thing that attracts the notice of
an individual visiting that city for the first
time, is the number and variety of the sa-
looms and gambling houses in full blast.
A blind man could step from the train
at Dodge, steer across the street, and ten
chances to one he would strike a saloon.
Ii we remember nightly, there are fifteen
g1n-mllls running night and day, and moth
ing pleases the average citizen better than
to point out the pleasing features of the
city, viz: Saloons and dance houses
Dodge may truthfully be called the gamb-
ier's paradise, as monte, high-ball, bunco
hazard and faro, flourish in all their ma
i've purity % We were pointed out the
spot where dozens of men had died .with
their boots on" and every spot where q
leaden messenger ploughed its way into
the wood work, is reserved as a momento
OF past glory. We met that prince OF
good fellows. Mike Sutton, also AL Upde
graft and'Ed. Cooley, who claim they arr
doing well financially. Dodge City is 8
good business town, bat IT seems TO u.
that it is bad place to raise family.

Last Week while in Harper, we called
at the large store of Hinsen & vanlaning-

altar-boys and clergy, left the sacristy and
marched to the porch of the chapel, where
Bishop Healy offered prayer Then, as the

chapel, psalms were chanted by the choir.
Upon the return Of the procession to the porcn
