5. W. Curd is lying quite i'll with
pneumonia at his home in this city.
Uncle Peter Petit has gone from New
Mexico to Colorado, and is now getting
better.

j.. L Barnes, general superintendent
of the Southern Kansas road, accom-
panied by his wife, came in on his
special car last Sunday and remained
until Monday at noon. This was the
first coach pulled over this new road.
and it was appropriate that Mr.. Barnes
should make the first trip. He was
pleased with the progress the road had
made and predicted that in 30 days this
would be the busiest town in the state.
The railroad time-card takes effect
tomorrow, Saturday, January 8. The
train that carries passengers. for the
present, will arrive and leave here as
follows: Leave Medicine Lodge at Z a.
m; arrive at Sharon at TAO, remain
there 30 minutes, and arrive at Attica
at $50. Returning, the train leaves
Attica at p. m; arrives at Sharon at
$3.50, remains there 80 minutes, and ar
rives at Medicine Lodge at 4:5O. This
arrangement will only continue a few
weeks, 1t is presumed, when a regular
mail train will be put on. This train,
however, will carry all express matter,
baggage, etc.
c. w. Cook, assistant general freight
and passenger agent of the Southern
Kansas road, accompanied by j. Halder-
man, travelling passenger agent, of Fort
Wayne, Ind, came in Wednesday even
ing, and was detained here yesterday
on account of the storm. In answer to
a questiOn, Mr.. Cook stated that the
road would establish stock yards here
as soon as possible, and in a few days
would no doubt be ready to ship cattle.
This was after being told that there
were several punches of feeders in this
county awaiting shipment. He will
use his efforts to secure stock pens as
soon as possible. Mr.. Cook was agree
ably surprised at the general thrifty APP
pearance of this city and surroundings,
as every stranger IS. He frankly ad-
mitted that the INDEX's blowing was
not without cause.

Deputy United States Marshal F. c.
Hawkins on complaint of w. ID. Ram
sey, for perjury IN proving up on a
claim in Barber county, were brought
to trial before Commissioner j. =. Wor-
rell last week and discharged for want
Of evidence. The prosecuting witness
knew absolutely nothing about the case,
not having been resident Of this state
during the time Smith alleged to have
lived upon the claim, while the other
witnesses didn't know whether Smith
lived on the claim or not" and conSe-
quently did not know whether Smith
and his witnesses committed perjury in
their testimony or not. Ramsey and
his witnesses made absolutely no case
against the men ARRESTED and they
were very properly discharged.

Oscar, first got into the good graces Of
the young lady. 1t was last summer,

runner in the county, he having run and
won, in succession, without stopping to
get breath. four races of 200 yards each
and badly distancing four competitors.
That established his reputation for

Let me sing OF brighter days,
When the heart is free from pain,
And feel the tender rays

Let me sing OF brighter days.

And the skylark trllls her lays
On her wing Of jubilee.
Let me Join the merry throng

Let me hear the little song
OF those happy times once mora.
In the joyful vistas hung
With the flowers OF rosy day,
Ringing laughter win be flung
on the lips OF smiling May.
There are friends that VIII meet
In the gladstone hours to come;
There are hearts that win greet,
Through the wide world as roam
There are hearts that Will aid,
There are tears that Will stay,
For the world for JOY Is made,
And 'tis Wisdom 10 be gay.
