a Little Rename.


Quite romantic wedding took place las
Thursday near Garden PLANE, the higl
contracting parties being w. II. Taylor, 8
business man of that town, and milliner
whose name we were unable to learn. Mr.
Taylor armed himself with the necessary
license, sought his intended bride, and in
company they repaired to the house of a
clergyman to have him tie the knot. But
the divine was absent, and for moment the
expectant groom was confused. Rousing
himself, he secured buggy, and into it he
started off to find a minister. When several
mikes out upon the prairie, they met the
gentleman Of divinity, and to make certain
Of a surf thing, stopped their team, told the
minister what they wanted, and there. on
the open prairie the ceremony was per-
formed, no one for Witnesses but the list
less winds and the shy cayotte. After the
ceremony was through, the happy couple
returned to Garden Plsine, where they are
now pleasantly located.

The New Daily

Our contemporary, the Beacon, made its
first appearance Yesterday as an eight col
umn evening paper, containing what is
known as the noon dispatches of the Trans
Mississippi press association. The paper is
very bright and full of life, starting out as
Independent and clipper in its eight col
umns to the page as if success was assured.
We have no criticisms to make further than
to say the Daily Beacon is not 1--WE years old,
nor should the credit be given to Sewers and
Millison for establishing ii. Three times
within its history has the EAGLE, for
short periods, issued daily. The first as a
morning paper in September, 1873. With
just as much propricty might the EAGLE
hive commenced to number with that issue.
1t would have fooled nobody.

BALM OF ClLEAD.

! have heard of "Balm of Gilead"-
Is It's home in but gardens Of Eden
Or, wherever mankind is founds
Reports of its magical virtue
lis said that the turbulent shirt
Is Gained by its touch sublime.
Names has this Invaluable balsam:
We call il sereneness of soul;
As the spiri, speeds ON 10 its goal.
Ask Socrates, Emerson, Plato
These secrs of internal truths;
IFS the spirit left longing il sonths.'
Fame cannot win us this gladness;
Twill never be wooed by bright gold;
Learning is not the conductor
IL lives where the soul-soil Is fertile;
Well report the condition of growth.
Conditions are here just as elsewhere-
Not only in one but in both:
Scan not the sky of thy future
With telescope (thirty-inch lens):
Thy trouble which now is as star-dust
The size of the moon transeends.
Think not of the past cloudy skies.
Forgetting the past, in the future
press towards the mark for the prize"
What trials, what hasdsbips Paul's lot
OF peace more than half of his words were;
OF his troubles, these things move me

Look for the good all around thee,
Not evil; for It's good that gives joy:
There is not in the richest of gold mines
That metal quite free from alloy.

Don't Like 1t.

The Democrat, the organ of the
Democrats in kingman county, don't
know about voting for a man, who,
while claiming to be Republican still
wants to be Democratic candidate.
1t says:
The senatorial convention, held at
Wichita on Tuesday, nominated Mr..
Z. A. Dorsey for state senator on the
first ballot. There were but two can
didates before the convention, Il. A.
dorsey, of Wichita, and s. e. Bah
cock, of Kingman. Sedgwick county
had nineteen delegates and Kinginan
county seven delegates in the conven-
ton. The vote stood IL for Babcock
and IA for Dorsey. Babcock is Dem
Ocrat. Dorsey has never been identi-
fed with the party, but is said to be
liberal in his views. We do not know
the nominee well enough to guarantee
us ia saying more at this time either
one way or the other. 1t has been
said that politics sometimes makes
strange, bedfellows. We shall see
what we shall see.

Wichita has left her village days behind,
and the quiet which was hers, after the bus
mess of the day Lad closed, is gone forever.
In all the years of her earlier history, no
town or city east or west, of her proper
tons, during the business hours of the day,
could show more life or activity, but her
nights were quiet. 1t is so no longer. The
town has become city. All night long
now the whistles, and bells, and rumbling
wheels of the coming and going trains. All
night long now, the racket of buses and
noise of express and transfer wagons. And
every night now, until late hours the
tinkling of the street cars and the tramp,
tramp, along the sidewalks goes on. As for
each day it is opened by shrieks and groans
of dozens of whistles and changing bells,
repeating their chorcus at noon and again
at six o'clock p. m, whilst above the din Of
the streets and the chatter of the trowels
and hammers and saws, tell the stranger of
elevators, mills, and factories, and of live,
wide-awake and growing city.
