F j. 7. Whitelaw, an old attorney of
Dodge City, SO well and famiiiarly
known by all old settlers as Jim, -
came in last week to attend to some
business in court and have a general
visit with his old friends and neighbors.
Jim is feshier than of yore and a
trife grayer, but in all other respects is
the same old "Jim. He says the
trouble between the two factions at
Dodge is still unsettled, but that the
saloons there are all running in the
shape Of drug stores. They all have a
few bottles of drugs and plenty of for
cign and domestic wines and liquors.
The ''Long Branch" drug store, the
Bon Ton drug store and SO on. There
seems to be considerable in a name af-
ter all, although the prairis dew at the
Dodge drug stores smells as sweet and
strong as at the dance houses and sa-
looms of the days gone by-Medicine

We give credit to the Boston Journal
for the following. The influence OF a
newspaper, commercially considered, is
as the influence of an individual. A man
careless of his statements is not consid-
cred good authority or a reliable source
Of information, SO a newspaper with its
editorial opinions at the beck and call Of
any one with bank Of sufficient d.
mansions: soon loses its weight with
readers, who quickly discover It's unre-
liability, and are careless even of state
ments printed in the advertising columns
the advertising is then about equally
as valuable as so many handbills. The
same rule applies to papers depending
upon sales effected through making a
speciality of low sensations; such papers
are bought to crafty curiosity, are Gull
ed for their particular attraction, then
throw away, and reliable newspaper
is consulted for the news Of the day,
and the opinions of the latter are re-
spected. This respect is to certain
extent extended to the advertising
columns, and subtle but influential in
dorsement is by the journal character
given to statements even though known
to be paid for and in the advertising de-
partnent. For instance, compliment
airy notice in a newspaper Of known re-
liability and careful of its assertions,
as all advertisers well known, is worth
more than the aippant statements of
one whose praise is unlimited and
whose unqualified editorial Endorsement
Of anybody or anything is obtainable
for consideration.

Not in her eyes that such elo1uence
speak, not in the blush of her velvety
check, not in the sheen Of her brig ht
yellow hair, not in her country, imper-
ial air, not in the kisses that hang on
her lips, not in her fingers cute taper
ing tips, not in the curve of her chick
little foot, rot in her wit so gracefully
put, not in her ear like rose tinted shell,
net in her teeth that no pearls can ex-
eel; not in her mile that saints heart
might win, not in the dimples that
CRATE her plump chin, not in good sense,
in which none are above her, not in her
breath, sweet as blossoming clover, not
in her form as perfection complete, not
in her laugh, as melodiously sweet, not
in her neck, than the sloe-blossom whit

! man by the name Of Il. W. Parr,
created some excitement on freight
train while it neared EmPoria last
Thursday. Parr, in fit of insanity,
tried to kill ". J. O. Bryner. The PTS
toll was taken from him. The Emporia
Republican says Parr was returning
from Dodge City. where he bad been
with car load of apples. It was re-
ported that he was under the influence
of liquor, but this proved to be a mis-
take. At the time Of his arrest he was
evidently out of his mind, but Officer
Crcwner states that there were no evil
dences of his being drunk. When the
officer got to the depot he found Mr..
Parr tied with rope. The passengers
found it necessary to do this. Mr.
Parr recovered his senses and left for
Burlington. his home. with his father-in-
Law, who had been tel. srarkcd for.

We commend the following from an
exchange to the prayerful consideration
of euchre players: 1t is told that
when the father of a family lay dying
in Kentucky, he called his sons to his
bedside that he might give few words
Of solemn advice for their future guild
ance in life. Raising himself on one
elbow and no doubt recalling a bitter
memory Of his own youth, he said:
Boys, when you 60 down the river to
Orleans just you beware of game
called euchre, where the jack takes the
ace; it's unchristian,' and with this
warning he lay back on his bed and
died in peace.

The idea of visiting the schools where
our children are being taught the lessons
that are to make them useful and intel
ligcnt citizens, and fit them for filling
the various positions in life is one that
seems to have never struck the minds of
the patrons of the Dodge City schools
as being in the line of profitable duty.
1t Is, in the matter of education Of
your children, a duty paramount that
you should evince high degree Of in
terest. At this time of the year you
can find day occasionally which can
be spent in visiting the schools Take
the time and go. 1t will do you good.
Your presence will incite your own
children to greater effort, and it will in
sure better work from the teacher.
Cultivate an acquaintance with the
teacher, and it will create better feel
ing between teacher and pupil Teach
ers should, too, cultivate sociability
with the patrons by calling at their
homes. 1t affords the teacher a source
of encouragement and satisfaction to
know that pataons are interested in
their work. A wood chopper is known
by his chips. Let all parents then Wis
it the schools and see the "chips," and
Judge for themselves. And now, when
you go, don't rap at the door, but go
in without ceremony, observe, speak a
word of encouragement, and then pass
out.

prevent. 1t is sound which tries the

The day of good resolutions is often
and too soon forgotten. 1t is well to
remember that the sum Of life S happi-
ness is largely made up Of little things
that are overlooked in the calendar Of
good resolves. IF every one would re-
form his life by more faithful observ-
ance Of these so-called important du-
ties, every family and every community
would become greatly elevated in neral
and social worth, and the great reforms
promised for the year would take care
of themselves.
