Morris 4 Tosh Va. Kiss.


For several days this case occupied
the time and attention of Justice Nc
Candless, the lawyers and bystanders.
On the 9th inst. Morris & Tosh sued
Kies for $50 commission for the sale of
Kies' stock of boots and shoes to Mr..
Shreayes. 1t seems from the evidence
in the case, that Kies placed his stock
of goods i'm the hands of NJ. & I. for
sale and that they were to receive per
cent. commission on the value of the
stock. The plaintiffs claimed commits
sion for securing purchaser, though
the trade was not contaminated. They
also claimed that they were to receive
the commission for finding purchaser,
or a person who was willing to buy, and
who would offer to buy the stock of
boots and shoes. Kies claimed that no
commission was TO be paid till the trade
or sale was made and the goods invOiced.
Morris testified that no such condition
was in the contract. The case was tried
by a jury last Tuesday and they tussled
with it about three hours, refused to
agree and were discharged. On Thurs
day the case was compromised, Mr.. X.
paying Morris & To>h forty dollars, and
they paying costs Of the trial. CIV.
Ellis represented the plaintiffs and l..

defendant The case was somewhat
mixed and the testimony conflicting

Business Talk.
He ,rho by his ''biz" mould rise,
Most either bust or advertise.

The attention of the citizens of Medi-
cine Lodge and surrounding country is
respectfully called TO the fact that r. III
Blair, one of the proprietors of the well
known Lees Summit Nurseries, is in
town and VIII be for a few days with
several good reliable selling agents, who
will call on our people and take their
orders for nursery products. These
nurseries were established by the Blair
Bros, eighteen years ago and have been
carried on IN manner that has placed
them at the very head of the list of the
nurserymen in the great west. They
are highly recommended by the press
and some leading citizens of this county.
Mr.. n. b. Blanton, near Hazelton, has
two bills of stock, growing, that he
bought of this firm and has purchased
large one to be delivered this fall; he
recommends his neighbors to patronize
them, and our own worthy townsman,
w. I. Rouse, has known this firm for
several years and speaks of them in the
most commendable terms. Let us now
avail ourselves of this opportunity and
get a good supply of trees from this old
and reliable institution. Wedo believe
our people will do well by patronizing
this firm. They furnish all varieties
that are adapted to this climate, inclu-
ding fruit, ornamental, shade trees and
tree seedlings, also trees for timber
claims, and every variety of small fruits,
roses. shrubs, etc. They offer their
goods at very reasonable prices, as the
following from the Kansas Farmer will
show: The Blair Bro, in the quality
of nursery products they furnished and
their fair and honorable manner of
dealing, places them and their enter
prise prominently reliable, fully enti-
tied to the confidence they have won,
and deserving of the patronage they
seek" 8

Rough on Turveydrops.

General Grant when he assumed
command of the Army of the Potomac,
was rather rough on some OF the veter-
an Turveydrops. One of them. who
held high rank in the quartermaster's
department. had one day to 60 to head
quarters, half q dozen miles distant,
more or less, so he ordered out his
closed carriage, and as it was likely
that night would come before he could
return the lamps were trimmed and
hung on each side of the drivers seat.
Then, with an escort of twelve dra-
goons, he started, happy, nc doubt, in
the belief that he was proof. against the
descending rain. Approaching Cul-
pepper. he met an ordinary;looking
man on horseback: attended only by az
the lieutenant-general, who, in spite of
the rain, was making his usual round,
in his usual modest way. To descend
from his carriage and salute his chief was
not the work Of q moment; but Grant, IT,
ritated by the style and pretension of his
officer, was in no hurry to see him gain
the shelter of his carriage-roof again.
walk along with me a little" said
the general, II want to talk with you"
With polished boots and ~unexception-
able kids, Mr.. Quartermaster did rs he
was hidden; and with a touch of that
grimness to which 1 have referred, the
general led him through the muddiest
parts of the road, and did not release
him until he was wet to the skin-as
wet as the general himself. ben: Per-

Advice From .sl,p.n

Special Correspondence Of the Ixrkl-OcEAx.l
MIDWAY, June I've see by "R." in
your last issue that the Calderwood
Bros. are trying to jog a certain young
mans memory. Now we don't think
this young man deserves all this. If we
understood him right he, said he did
think it rulable to ring at a "wood-
house" door, therefore he opened it and
walked in; but, behold, he found it oc-
cupied. Now you see "R" has an idea
that a young man can't drive a couple
of young ladies home from a dance with
out taking such an awful hold on his
head and heart. '"R'' should look up a
young lady and so out to some of these
parties. But don't sit on the dashboard
where you can look your lady in the
face and begin talking about your crop,
your colts, your COWS, your mansion and
how lonesome it is there without a com.
panion, and you won't find it half a
hard . you anticipate. SKIP.
P. S.-Most young ladies are very
timid and would have the door to their
sleeping apartment locked, especially
when it opens out of deors.-or at least
mine does.
