ASSIGNMENT.

Our citizens will regret to learn that ov-
ing to combination of unfortunate circum-
stances, the wholesale and retail book and
stationery firm of Harding d Fisher, Main
street, were compelled to make an assign
ment yesterday for the benefit of their cred
itors. Mr.. T. J. Humble, assistant postmas-
ter and postoffice cashier, is the assignee.
He will take charge Of the store Immediately
and prepare statement Of the assets and
liabilities. The statement Of liabilities set
forth in the assignment foots up Sl5,399.15.
The embarrassments of the firm are varied.
They have been doing considerable whole
sale trade and were unable to make colec-
tons they expected to have made. Again
they bought heavily anticipating large
trade, especially during the holidays. Ow-
ing to the low price of grain and the general
depression. they were greatly disappointed
in the volume of trade-hence the financial
embarrassment 1t is generally believed
that the stock on hand will more than cover
all their liabilities. When full statement
Of assets and liabilities is rendered we be-
lieve the firm will be found perfectly SOL
vent We hope they will be able to resume
business in short time.

WANT OFFICE.

The Kansas City Times publishes a list o
Democrats in every important town in Kan
sas who are expecting or deserving Fedora
appointments. That paper sentcntiously
remarks that Uncle Sam can give everybody
a farm but not an office, and that there viii
be some surprises when the list comes to b,
made up of those who will get there. The
Times list of aspiring gentlemen in Wiehita
is very short one, and does not comprise
one half of the hungry, especially for the
postoffice, for which position there are more
than dozen. The Times says:
A fine boom of very considerable proper
tions for II. G.. Toler, of this city, for United
States marshal for the district of Kansas is
springing up all oveI this section of Kansas.
Mr.. Toler has been prominent local Dem
ocrat for wears past, and has always spent
his time and money freely for his party. The
Wichita EAGLE, Wellington Press
and other leading Republican pa
pers of southern Kansas have already pro-
nounced in favor of Mr.. Toler for this posi-
ton. Mr.. Toler has a wide acquaintance
with business men and is much esteemed as
a business man and citizen. 1t is believed
here that Mr.. Toler would amply fill the
shoes of Ben Simpson, the present incum-
bent People in Wichita and this section,
without regard to party, will unite in urging
Mr.. Toler's appointment for this. position.
Other democratic aspirants in Wichita
are:
For postmaster at Wichita-Amos Har-
ris and \. a. Glenn.
For register United States land office at
Wichita-Frank Dale, DR.. G.. L. McAdams,
Kos. Harris, VI. Zimmerly and VIM. Griffin

THAT CHRISTMAS DINNER

There were many fine spreads, many rich
repasts discussed Christmas day in the
homes of Wichita, but we know Of one al
which were only present baby boy and an
old man. The handsome bright little mis-.
tress of the kitchen who halls from the land
of Hamlet, that soil prolific of olden-time
noble feasts, had dressed and trussed roy.
al specimen of the real cmblematic bird Of
America. The two sisters of the household
had gone to spend the day with friends in
another city, the Oldest son had boyish en-.
gagements of his own to meet and the father
and mother were enjoying the Inequalities
of friends down on south Main street and
the pretty cook and baby boy were thus lefl
the sole occupants of that home-the one
TO serve and the other the sole monarch oil
the feast which had been prepared with such
care. 1t so happened that the aged grand
father, who had arrived on the train during
the night before, made his appearance just
before the turkey was taken from the
oven and these lone two sat dow to the feast
together, the one with his white bib beneath
his dimpled chin and the other with his
white beard upon his breast, grandsire and
grandson; the one with the frosts of seventy
two winters resting upon his head, the other
with the bright suns of but two summers
upon his; one with life all before him, the
other with that conflict all behind him; one
in his beauty fresh from the hands of the
infinite, the other in patience waiting to be
received back TO that same loving hand; the
bud and the full ripened fruit. Upon the
return of the inmates of that home, as were
falling the shades of evening, the soft light
of the fire revealed these two heads close,
lovingly together over holiday number OF
the 'Babe and the Manager" That these
dear heads formed a touching picture for at
least one may be readily believed, and
that one the writer of these lines, who is the
son of the one and the father of the other.
