''1Iandy Andy' Friday night, which was very
well rendered. They painted their own scenery
some of which were really excellent for new
beginners. They are giving these entertain

that anyone will be amply repaid for going.
To say that we had a good time at Uniontown
would be putting it mildly. No one can fail to
have good time at Pattersons'. ''Johnie"

ing at Mr. Titles and Mr. Cutwright's. Mrs
BringIe is one of the old pioneers of Kansas
We remember during the Rebellion the rumor
came to Neosho Falls that the Indians were
coming in on the Neosho Valley and were kill
ing and burning everything in their way; and
that they were as near as Belmont, near where
Yates Center now stands. The able bodied men
had all gone to the army. No one was willing
to carry the news from Neosho Falls to lola.
Mrs b told them to furnish her pony and she
would carry the dispatch. And it was one of
those muddy days that only those who lived
here in the sixties know anything about. But
she made the trip to lola and back to the Falls,
in the same day. The best OF the joke was that
the report was false one, as many are during
war time; and she was not attacked by the In
.ians as some were afraid she would be.

TRUTH Or FICTION7

A singular story is told us by man
who claims to be a witness to what he
relates, but wishes his name kept
quiet. He says that one day last week
he was accosted by couple of Indians
who had quietly arrived day or two
before in the neighbOrhood west of the
river, and hidden to meet them that
night at ten O'Clock at the west end Of
the Wichita railroad bridge. Our in
formant was rather 10th to keep such
a doubtful appointment, but his curl
osity got the better of his caution and
at the appointed time he was at the
rendezvous. His mysterious visitors
were awaiting him and upon bis ar
rival they started north, up the river,
reckoning him to follow. He did SO
and after few minutes walk they
stopped near the bank of the river
where the stream makes a sharp bend
to the east. After apparently taking
observations by certain landmarks the
Indians began digging. After two or
three hours hard work they unearthed
an iron pot and brought it to the sur
face. In answer TO the surprised in
quiry of our friend they told him that
the pot was full of gold. And then
they sat down and told long story,

THE legal fraternity is busily en-
ploying its leisure time this week dis
cussing Judge Crozier's decision, which
is noted on our first page. We have
carefully read the opinion which ac-
companied the decision. and while we
are not lawyer nor the son of law
yer, vet it seems to us that the Judges
logic is decidedly shaky. His conclu-
sions may be correct. If the case is
carried up, the Supreme Court may
hold with him; but if they do we ven-
ture the prediction that it will be on
different grounds. Judge Crozler's as
sumption that the county attorney is
made both prosecutor and Judge by the
new law, is certainly erroneous. The
only object sought to be gained by
empowering the county attorney to
summon and examine witnesses is to
enable him to judge whether or not
there is probable ground for action.
And there his judicial powers end.
When the action is brought before the
proper court, he has no more to do
with the final judgment upon it than
he has in any other case which he pros
ecutes. The idea that this deprives
a citizen of his constitutional right to
trial by an impartial judge, is well
nigh silly. If the case is taken up,
which it probably will be, the decision
of the Supreme Court will be awaited
with interest.

about where the money came from,
and who put it there and why. and
how long it had been there, and wound
up by saying that it was sacred money
that they did not dare to spend, and
that knowing that the river would
soon wash it away, they had come to
remove it to place of safety. They
were going to bury it again, they said,
and would probably choose the hills
north of Yates Centre as the hiding
spot. They said further that there was
gold enough similarly hidden i'm AL
len county to buy all the property in
it. And then they departed as silent
ly and as mysteriously as they had
come, leaving our friend stupefied with
amazement.
P.S. If this story should prove un-
true, please take it as joke. If it
should prove true, then make the most
of it.

In order to ascertain as accurately
as possible what the general sentiment
is in regard to erecting new county
buildings, we have addressed letters
to a number of representative men in
each township, briefly stating the facts
as they exist, and asking their opin-
ion. A number of replies have already
been received and we hope that by
next week we will have heard from all
those to whom letters were addressed,
as it is our purpose TO publish the sub
stance of the answers, in order that our
readers may know what the feeling is
in different parts of the county.

of the Eighteenth Annual Encamp
ment it will be kept sacred to the

ly knotted Grape, the muffied drum
the slow and solemn procession, tell
how fast our comrades join the silent
ranks above one by one.
A gallant leader languishes upon his
couch of pain, and over myriads OF
homes the death angel hovers darkly.
Hallowed be the day that brings such
solemn thoughts as these.
Our comrades sleep well. No tear
can disturb their profound slumber
no perfume of flowers make their rest
more sweet. But whenever Memorial
Day is observed there rises a higher
ideal of American valor, holier care
for the men who saved the Union.
Let Posts of the Grand Army every
where assemble. Enlist all the loyal
hearts in an observance of the day.
Let the women and children be invit-
ed. Let all who reverence the flag
unite in the ministration ofloyalty and
affection. The custom of inviting the
clergy to no d memorial services on the
Sunday preceding Memorial Day is
again commended, and comrades
should feel it a privilege and duty to
attend.
Where their are no graves to gather
around, as on the frontier, memorial
services may still be held. Where
there are no flowers to wreathe, there
still remains that perfect flower of free
dom-the red, white and blue. Above
each patriots grave may its benedic-
tons fall.
The flowers of love are immortal.
Be it ours to cherish them i'm our
hearts and let their fragrance fill our
lives.

die CT disease than of drunkenness. The
