i After making their announcement
two or three weeks ago that they e,
r Ipected to hold fair in the Oper
( House during holiday week, the ladie
o of the Library Association were n
8 minded that the Grand Army ha
ANNOUNCED their intention last wInte
Z of occupying it for the same purpos
, during that time. OF course the ladie
will have to yield to this prior claim
and will do all in their power to max,
the G. A. r. fair as great success a!
it was last winter.
Chas. Beckwith has given up hi
lease of the Mineral Well hotel ant
has gone to Kansas City. He wen
AWAY rather suddenly leaving out
standing accounts against him among
our merchants to the amount of nearly
$4,000. He has written each of them
we understand, letter of regret, in
which he promises to pay them as
soon as he can earn the money. Mr.
Acers authorizes us to say that the
house will not be re-opened this year.
Baths will be prepared as usual on
Sunday forenoons and on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday afternoons.
We feel considerably Inundated
and a little bit hurt that our
suggestions regarding platform were
not.more literally needed by the con-
vention last Tuesday. They were of
fered in all kindness and candor, and
it is rather rough to have the result of
anxious inquiry and careful study
swept aside without even a moments
consideration. But after all it was
only our words that were disregarded.
They preserved the central thought.
The form is changed, but the sub
stance remains the same. They have
solemnly resolved that theyare party,
"for malt only"
The attention of teachers, school
boards and others interested in
educational work, is called to the
meeting at the NJ. E. church to NOR
row at four o'clock. The time will be
given mainly to the discussion of the
adoption of a uniform course of study
in tile district schools. State Superin-
tendent Speer is expected to be present
as is also DIR. p. J. Williams, of the
State University. The subject for
discussion is one of the most important
educational problems now before the
people and it is hoped that as many as
can will be present. There will be a
meeting also in the evening.
The NJ. I. 81. G.. II. Society have
received numerous requests from many
who were prevented by the rain from
attending their performance at the
Opera House last Tuesday night, to re-
peat the entertainment, and they have
consented to do so. "The Change
lngs" and "The Champion of Her
Sex" will accordingly be reproduced
at the Opera House next Saturday
night, and we hope the girls will be
again greeted with full house, as all
who attend can be assured of a most
pleasant evening. The price of adj
mission will be the same as on Tues
day evening, 25 cents, general admis-
sion and thirty cents for reserved
seats.
Other engagements prevented us
from herring more than the last fifteen
minutes of the Hon. J. w. Nickolson's
speech at the court house last Monday
evening. Mr.. Nicholson is the green
back candidate for Congress in this
district, but from the size and nature
of his audience and from what we
heard of his speech, it would seem
wise for him to initiate the example
of the late Mr.. Finnicum and retire to
the shadow of his own vine and fig
tree. A man that is unwise enough
or dishonest enough to declare that
"the republican party is the prototype
of the old world aristocrasies, and
that "if we continue it in power 1t will
very soon fasten a monarchy upon us, I"
can never get to Congress from the
second district of Kansas. Ifhe really
believes what he says. he is too stupid
and ignorant to sit in Congress, and il
he does not believe what he says, he is
too dishonest.
Glenn. Kreuter met with very serl-
GUS misfortune last Sunday afternoon,
He was attempting to cross the south
fork of Deer creek, which was very
high, at Martins ford. When about
half way across his team got off the
ford and into swimming water. II
was impossible for them to swim
straight across with the buggy, so they
