Walking Boots.

In the matter of walking boots the
purists lead the van Nothing could
be simpler nor more absolutely una
dorned than the foot covering par ex-
cellence of to-day. No fancy work,
embroidery, stitching, beading, or even
irrelevant fancy buttons are visible.
The boot is ornamented only in its
quality, which is of kid, the finest and
softest. The toe portion is roomv yet
shapely. The heel with not a sugces-
ton of French bend" about it, is vet
graceful, and tho sole of the foot is
broad enough to allow the girl of the
period to ''set down her FOOT en-

every other shop window, apparently
to admire the display within the glass
bound case, but in reality to give rest

The burial of a young woman who
died of pneumonia in Salem, Mass, a
week or SO ago was postponed by rel
atives of the deceased, who noticed

all the prospects of restoration to life
vanished, modification set in, and the
body was buried. Physicians, it is
stated, could give no satisfactory reas-

The Capture of John Brown.

1.-The Capture of John Brown is
infinitely described in the North Aneri-
can Reuietc for December, and the
writer of the story is Lieutenant Israel
Green, the officer who was in command
of the United States marines on that
memorable occasion, and who became
notorious, for striking John Brown
s.When he was down." Lieutenant
Green writes in very straightforward,
soflierly way, and his brief article is
valuable as giving the cold side Of the
case, after the heat and excitement of
the event have passed away, lie de-
scribes John Brown thus:
I have often been asked to describe
Browns appearance at the instant he
lifted his head to see who was talking
with Colonel Washington. 1t would
be impossible for me TO do so. The
whole scene passed so rapidly that it
hardly made distinct impression upon
NV mind. I can only recall the fleet
ing picture of an old man kneeling with
a carbine in his hand, with long gray
beard falling away from his face, look
ing quickly and keenly toward the
danger that he was aware had come
upon him. He was not large man,
being perhaps five feet ten inches when
he Strengthened UP in full. His dress,
even. I do not remember distinctly.
should say that he had his trousers
tucked in his boots, and that he wore
clothes of probably not more than
trousers and shirt. think he had no

1t is with pleasure that we note the
success of our professional men. DR..
T. n. Gum has just received the ap-
pointment of Medical Examiner for the
New York Life Insurance Co., and also
for the same position for the Catholic
knights of America. In the last order
he examined ten persons one day this
week at Junction City.
Railway matters are exciting our PEG
pie. They want a road from the NJ.
K. s. L. through Chapman to Solomon,
or to some point Northwest. Several,
in fact many, who live in the townships
on our eastern line, will vote to go into
Davis county if they are Saddled with
bonds to build other lines of road. VIII
it not be well for Abilene folks to re-
member that Chapman has stood by
them in many a pull, and there may be
a time when they can return the COM

full duty, now that he has begun, the

was the remark of one of our citizens

fears, that same court might take one
step further than what this citizen
would call legal duty.

At the present rate of their destruc-
ton, there will be no quail or prairie
chicken in the course of three or four
years in this part of the county. The
slaughter seems to have been a
kind of wholesale affair. When two
little quail would sell for as much as a
bushel of corn there were many farm
ers who availed themselves of a few
days shooting.
Last Monday morning was keen and
cool and made our folks think Of over
coats.
Trade is now good in Chapman for
the reason that so much grain and other
produce are being sold here.

The election of officers took place last

girls who go to these public meetings
expressly to make noise and mischief,
and it will not be long before their
names are given to the Police Court
for their arrest. 1t will not do for some
people. to think their children can al
ways defy the law, and that they need
show no respect to others.

will state that he was away from home on ac-
count OF Ill health when his father, Josiah Cook.
was taken to the poor house, and we have no
reason 20 suppose that he had any knowledge Of
that matter until after the old genJleuIan's re-
movaL
Since his return he Is willing to pay all nee
essary expenses incurred by the county on ac-
count Of bis father.
We regard any censure OF the said L. ]. Cook in
regard TO the matter as wholly unjust and IN
called for. At the time the old gentleman was
sent 70 the county house, he was helpless, and
required more care than IL was possible for Mrs.
Cook TO give him.
