sheep man, a few days ago. From APP
pearances he fully understands sheep
and their needs, having lost but very
few this winter. Sheep men in this
county cannot do better than to follow
his method for the care of sheep. We
believe him to be fully. competent to I'LL
the Office of Sheep Commissioner.
Quite a number of our people who
went east a few years ago to visit their
wife's relations are returning. They
have no doubt concluded there is no
place like Kansas.
There are about 800 inhabitants in

DIED-April 9, 1888, Mrs. NJ. S. Paden.
Funeral services were held at the Pres
byterian church, Tuesday, at II o'clock,
conducted by Rev. w. r. Allen, of the
NJ. Z. church assisted by Rev. Jas. BOZ
court. Deceased was 40 years old on
the last of March, and up to about three
months ago had enjoyed unusually good
health, since which time she has been
rapidly failing, and for several weeks her
life has been dispaired of. She came to
Phillipsburg ten years ago, with her fam
lily, from Saunders county, Nebraska,
where she was member of the NJ. E.
church, and Immediately joined that
society here, and has ever since been
an earnest and exemplary Christian, tax
ing a leading part in all church and Sab
bath School work, and her influence has
been felt. She has also been teacher
in our public schools and other schools
in the neighborhood Her death in the
prime of noble womanhood, has cast a
gloom over our community that it has
never before felt. Having little to
give of worldly goods she has given
noble unselfish service for the good of
all, and left bright christian example.
Her little family, who so much need
her love and care, will sorely feel her
loss, and have the sympathy of all,
while her place in the church and soci-
ETY. will not soon be filed.

S. R. Lewis, of Plum sownship, who

jury for District Court in the county,
called on us giving US some partic-
ulars as to the operations of a gang of
sharpers who are infesting the western
states and have been operating lately
in western Kansas and Nebraska,
They are in all kinds of schemes, pre-
tending to be loan agents; buying
horses, lands, stock &c. One plan is to
propose to get a man large loan on
his farm, the papers to be made to them
they paying a small part of the con-
sideration and to have time to send for
the balance, but which is to be the last
that will be heard of Mr.. Agent. They
also propose to gather up valuable hors-
es paying a part, if they have to, and
agreeing to pay the balance when they
can deliver them on some contract
which they claim to be filling, They
show good letters of recommendation
and must succeed in gathering some
victims or they could not continue in
the business We would advise people
to be on the lookout for them and give
them wide berth.
