. vertised to be held at the Opera Hous
last Saturday night was postponed i'm
definitely. We understand that tn
: Post are contemplating substituting

sometime the latter part of this month
We sincerely hope the programme

Quite a number of relatives ant
friends gathered at the residence of Mr.
Gilmore last Friday i'm honor of tn,
SOth birthday of Mrs s. NJ. Howard
mother of Mrs. Gilmore and Mrs. G.. c
Brewer of Carlyle. Besides severa
gifts from persons present, the sons

ant time and we hope she may enjoy
many happy returns of the day.

In publishing this week the last of
the "High School Items" for this
year, We wish to acknowledge our OBJ
legations to the young ladies, Miss
Medea Brewster and Miss Lola Smelt-
ger, who have so kindly furnished
them. The "items" have been uni
formly newsy bright and we'll written
and have reflected much credit on the
contributors, whom we hope to again
draft into the service at the beginning
of the new term in September.
Our columns are too much crowded
to admit more than the barest mention
of the lecture of Gen. B. NJ. Prentice
the man that saved the battle of Shi-
lob, at the Opera House Wednesday
night. Although only a few hours
notice was given the hall was packed,
and the General held the closest at
tention for two hours while he gave
the true history of that fatal first day.
IL is the kind of lecture that makes
patriots and We cannot have too many
of them.
Talking bout personal peculiarities,
in the Court room, the other day, At
torney Keplinger said there was only
one eccentricity people would not for
give lin men, of course; everything in
women) and that was an eccentric
way of combing the hair. In the
same connection, he said he had only
two dude tricksn-wearing a cane
and parting his hair in the middle
The latter "trIck" will be appreciated
by those acquainted with the exposed
condition of Kep's Uranium.
Doug. Arnett is out of luck. While
moving a new upright piano for Mr.. J.
d. Greason, from the Wichita depot to
Mr.. f. Richardson's, ON Monday, by
some accident it fell over the side of
the wagon falling bottom side uper-
most onto the ground. 1t was of
course considerably damaged and will
have to be returned to the factory for
repairs. The piano had not yet been
accepted by Mr.. Greason and we I'M
derstand that Mr.. Arnett compromised
with the agent by paying him $3.50
damages.
Nels Acers has determined to devote
his entire time this summer to adver-
Using the lola Well through the east,
and i'm order to do so, has turned the
hotel over to Charley Beckwith, who
takes possession next Tuesday.
Charley is an old hand at the business
and will no doubt make popular host.
He is having the house thoroughly
overhauled, putting in new furniture
where it is needed. He has also secur-
ed sample room up town for the ac-
of commercial men.
The Mineral Well will boom this sum-
mer.
Another case involving the Question
of the fees of the justices of the peace
and constables was before the District
Court the other day. 1t was again
held that in misdemeanor cases the
fees of the justice of the peace and con-
stable together could not exceed ten
dollars. This is undoubtedly the law,
but it is flagrantly unjust. 1t is the
rarest case that these fees come within
ten dollars, and more frequently they
are in the neighborhood of thirty dol
lars-and justly so. 1t looks like a
small matter, but it ought to be called
to the attention of the Legislature and
changed.
In the liquor case of the State vs..
Babbitt, tried last week, the attorneys
for the defendant endeavored t, get
three of the regular jurors-known to
be strong temperance men-Off the
jury by having them subpPnaed as
witnesses while the jury was being
and these jurors in the
box. After satisfying himself that the
jurors in question knew nothing what
ever of the case, Judge Stillwell took
occasion to rebuke the attorneys in
severe terms, saying that the proceed
ing was dispraceful and unworthy of
honorable counsel. Such proceeding
is not likely to be attempted again be-
fore Judge Stillwcll.
Some of the prominent members of
the League have claimed to us and to
others that they thoroughly disapprov-
ed of land-jumping and other lawless
actions that have been perpetrated in
this county. We do not doubt this in
the least. But why don't they do one
of two things: why don't they either
