ed S. and costs by Police Judge Harris,
and one was also fined s. for contempt
of court. In default of payment they

The rising generation, that part of it

AS the passenger train came to a
stop at Colony the other day, the
brakeman took the arm Of the peanut
boy and marching out onto the rear
platform said. "This magnificent re-

We learn of the sudden death, on
"Wednesday night of Mrs. Jane Per-
kips, mother of II. A. Perkins and an
old and much respected citizen of lola.
She died at the residence ofJ.P. Boyd,
where her son and his family had re-

day. The funeral services will be
held at the Presbyterian church, and
will be conducted by Rev. Elk. Lynn
assisted by Rev. E. S. Miller.
The house of "Salene," the negro
washerwoman who lives near the river,
was burned to the ground Wednesday
night. She thinks that it was mali
ciously set on fire, but the probabili-

fiue. However that may be, the loss
is to her an absolutely irreparable one,
and unless generous aid is promptly
secured, she and her large family will
greatly suffer. The case is one that
calls for prompt action, and we hope
that the petition which is circulated
i'm her behalf, will meet with liberal
response.

ness for us to mention the subject as lit
tie as possible this week, so we will not
give detailed account of King Clicks
reception here last Saturday morning.
Suffice it to say that it was so chilly
that His Royal Nibs had to retire into
his car two or three times during the
progress of it, to warm himself. Ii
was somewhat unkind we thought, fol
the band to greet him with "The Sweet
BY and By'', and it was absolute cru
city for them to strike up a funeral
march as his train steamed out of the
depot. But we suppose coming events
cannot help casting their shadows be-
fore.
In the Lawrence Journal, of las

and earnest speech, arraigning tn
Democratic party and its policies, an

for honest government.
At the close of his speech, Lieutenar
w. Frank March, of the Cyclone
a stepped forward and, in well-worde
speech, presented to MIR. Funston
handsome gold-headed cane, as t.

graceful manner.
