+ The eclipse on Monday was quite :
success, only a small crescent of the
sun remaining visible at the time o
greatest observation.
We neglected to mention last week
the removal of Rev. s. A. Alt from
Stover's house to the Othick property
just across the street.
If you want a suit of clothes, go to
McClures. He has the very latest
STYLES, and can suit the most fastidious
in taste at bedrock prices.
Mr.. Coblentz has to vacate the room
he now has in about ten days; during
that time he will sell harness mighty
close to cost to keep from moving it.

1t has been suggested that the par
tial eclipse Monday was responsible for
the cold wave. If that be true, what
would have become of the mercury if
there had been total eclipse:
Johnnie Richardson and w. A.
Scott went fishing, with pitch forks,
in the lake west of the river Tuesday,
and were fortunate enough to kill six
teen fish that weighed, all told, 20
pounds.
The best sign of spring we know of
is to see the farming implements roll
ing into Beck's ware house. He is
getting on a good supply and expects
to sell them at prices to suit the times.
We heartily second the suggestion
of the Courdnt with regard to beauti-
flying the school grounds. The finest
of buildings looks uncomfortable and
when set in barren waste.
Mr.. Elmore Webb, a first class paper
hanger and decorator, whom GoOdhue
& Evans have engaged to do work in
that line, will be on hand next week.
Those desiring work done can find him
at their store.
The grand jury probably finished its
work yesterday. A pretty judicious
guess might be made as to their in
but the interests of justice
would probably be furthered by keep
ing them secret until the arrests have
been made.
We are decidedly of the opinion that
lola ought to have big 4th of July
this year. If the motion is
steps toward securing a
speaker ought to be taken at once. Pro-
drops us to the foot of the
procession every time.
Mr., James Townsend has been sup
plying our market with some very fine
potatoes from his last years crop of
)ver 700 bushels. We are glad to
earn that the same enterprising gen.
.lemen expects to sow about $50 worth
If tame grass seed this spring.
We call attention to the advertise
nent of Patterson Bros. They are re-
,eiving new goods almost every day
md parties needing anything in their
inc may be sure of finding their goods
what they are represented to be
md of getting them at very low prices.
Mr.. Lange, the new clothing man on
The north side, calls attention in this
ssue to his grand opening tomorrow.
He says he is going to put prices on
right down to bed rock, and
wants you to call on him and be con-
WINGED. Look out for his hand bills
When the workmen were raising
Mr.. A. f. Wright's house Wednesday,
for the purpose of putting new found
alton under it, it "took a tumble" by
sliding off the jack screws. The main
body of the house separated from the
kitchen and chimney or two was de-
but no very serious damage
done.
Our readers will find synopsis of
all the laws made by the legislature 1t
its late session on our inside pages. 1t
will be observed that the vast majority
of them are local in their nature, only
three or four being of general interest.
AS SION as the laws are published in
pamphlet form, we will print full
summary of these three or four.
Mr.. C. P. Walker, of Colony, was in
town Wednesday, taking steps toward
the arrest of burglar that
had entered his house on Tuesday
night and had succeeded in getting
away with a gold watch, silver
watch and seven or eight dollars in
money. Mr.. Walker offers $50 reward
for the return of the gold watch, or 500
for the watch and thief.
Can't. Stewards exclamation last
week puts a somewhat different face
on the Leayenworth Home matter, but
we are still of the opinion that Leav-
enworth can very we'll afford to pay
the bonus required. 1t is matter of
no concern now, however, as the bill
failed in the Senate, and the city will
have to pay the $4,000 whether she
can afford TO or not.
