What silencesw we keep year after teaf,
With those who are most near to us and dear
We live beside each other day by day,
And speak of myriad things but seldom say
The full. sweet word that lies just in our reach.
Beneath the commonplace of common speech.
Then out of sight and out of reach they go
These close familiar friends who loved us so ;
And, sitting in the shadow they have left,
Alone, with loneliness, and sore bereft,
We think with vain regret of some fond word
That ence we might have said and thoy have
heard.
For weak and poor the love that we expressed.
Now seems beside the vast, sweet anexpressed,
And slight the deeds we did to those uudone,
And small the service spent, to treasure won.
And uudeserved the praise, for word and deed
That should have overaowed the simple need.
This is the cruel cross of life, to be
Full visioned only when the ministry
OF death has been fulalled and in its place
Of some dear presence is but empty space.
What reeollected services can then
Give consolation for the might hare been.

CASTOR OIL.--One of the chief
uses to which castor oil is now put is
that of dressing and softening leather
for boots. 1t was formerly used for
dosing children whose stomachs were
disordered. And an awful dose it
was. Now we give suffering children
Browns Iron Bitters, which tones
the stomach, regulates digestion, and
imparts strength to the whole body.
Browns Iron Bitters is incomparably
better than castor oil, and more
pleasant to take.

REMEMBER MOI TO FORGET

A word with the women of Wichita about
the big charity concert, which is to take
place in this city at the opera house on the
night of the Dist mss, under the direction
Prot. Arbuckle, and that is, that those who
are employing their time, energies and tai
ents in making tbs affair the greatest success
of the kind ever attempted in our city, have
all determined, including Prot. Arbuckie
himself, that the proceeds shall 60 only TO
the relief of women and children. The
business men have about al been seen, and
only one or two failed to respond in aiding
the enterprise, by patronizing the little paper
which will be issued in connection with the
entertainment We believe, therefore, that
the ladies of Wichita ought, for the reasons
stated, especially those who love charity for
charity's sake to evince warm side for this
concert Unquestionably that night ought
10 see all the best people Of the city at the
opera house. Don't buy ticket to satisfy
your conscience, and then stay away, bat be
present, not only to encourage the perform
ers and to participate in the pleasure, but to
lend your voice TO whatever action may be
had touching the disposition Of the funds.
In this way the evening will be rendered one
long to be remembered. But the main thing,
ladies, 10 remember now. is not TO forget this
concert an ] its demands

ELECTION BETS.

1t may appear strange TO hear that some
bets made on the result of the late presiden-
tial election have not been paid but such is the
case. \ case of that kind came I'D for adj lust
ment before Justice Thomas yesterday. The
facts are as follows: \ day or two after
election, when the result was in doubt, a
colorcd sporting character named Rawles
was around the east end of Douglas avenue
offering to bet eighty dollars TO ten on Blaine.
Jake Echart and John Clayton gave five
dollars each to "a man named Morris to bet
| with Rawls, and the ninety dollars were put
up in Ed. Richey's hands. Soon after the
money WAS put in charge of Frank Miller,
with the understanding that it be given up
to the winner when the result in New York
was known
When this result was made known and ey-
erybody gave up their lost bets, Rawles for
bid Mr.. Miller to give up the money until
Cleveland is inaugurated. 1t is said Rawles
Is now in Texas. Some time ago when the
matter was in dispute John Clayton said
he was willing to give the whole amount TO
the city council and let each alderman find
out the.poorest family in his ward and to
divide the money in that way, an equal share
10 the poorest family in each ward. This
| honorable proposition was refused and the
parties brought suit against Mr.. Miller, for
the recovery of the money yesterday. G. c.
Cowart appeared for the plaintiff and o. II.
Bentley for defense.
The jury failed to agree: We are told that
four were for plaintiff and two for defense.
Mr.. Miller is greatly annoyed about the mat
ter and no wonder, having to defend law
suit in which he has no interest whatever.
Claytcn and Eckarts idea Of giving it to
the poor Is just the thing and it ought to be
arranged in tina: way. If the colored man
was poor laborer it would be different, but
be makes his living solely by gambling.
horse racing, etc. in short he is regular
sport.

AbStracters' Card.

WICHITA, Kas., Jan. 10, 1885.
In view of the fact that the responsibilities
of certifying to the correctness of an abstract
of title are becoming greater as the country
advances in age and wealth, and that the
money invested in, and the expenses and
clerical work necessary to keep up free
and complete set of abstracts have greatly
Increased within the past three years, the I'M
dersigned abstracters of Sedgwick county,
Kansas, feel that the present rate of Is cents
per transfer is insufficient, being lower
rate than is charged by the abstracters of
other counties when there are fewer compli-
Gated titles. Therefore, We hereby covenant
and agree with each other that on and after
Februry LIST, 1885, We will adhere strictly to
the following schedul of rates, viz:
SO cts. for each and every transfer.
% cts. each for certificates of district court
and county treasurer.
20 cts. per transfer for references or for
examining abstract books.
10 crs. per transfer for comparing when

opinion thereon.

COOL BURGLARS.

One of the coolest burglaries ever record
ed in this city occurred in the dry goods
store of T. II. Lynch, on Douglas avenue
night before last. The burglars effected an
| entrance by breaking Il pane Of glass out Of
the back window, this done they were en-
abled to get at the catch and raise the win
dow. They came to the front Of the store
and put out the front light. They next pro-
ceeded TO ransack the money drawer where
they got four cents. They runmaged
around and picked out a suit of clothes,
three gents gold chains valued AT 50 each:
one pair ladies bracelets and a couple 81
boxes of ring; the whole valued al about
$50. They appear to have enjoyed them
selves as Indicated by cigar stumps and pea
nut shells which were found about the store
next morning.
Several merchants have been talking about
a merchants police force, like they have in
Topeka and other cities. a hundred dol
lars stolen from store once in while would
pay for such force.
In justice to our police ii is proper to say
that it is impossible for them TO watch every
place. Burglars conld raise a row some
where attract the attention of the police
away from the vicinity of the place they in
tended TO enter. and while they are engaged
hunting the parties they could slip around
and get into the store quietly, and get
things fixed so they would not be discovered
A private force who's sole business 1t would
be TO look after the stores would be more apt
10 get onto them
