The house Of VIM. Green, of Sharon,
was entirely destroyed by fire last Sun
day, together with the contents. He
had finished cooking dinner short
time before the fire was discovered and
had started to the country. The house
and contents were fully insured.
There is proposition on foot to re-
build the Medicine Lodge house with a
$4,000 structure. Such an enterprise
should be encouraged, for while it is
an acknowledged fact that we have
several of the best hotels in this part of

good one.

The old reliable Medicine Lodge
house is again in the hands of the Up
degraff family and Miss Mate, as the
landlady, is bringing backthe old-time
popularity. Judge Updegraff started
that hostelry In 1878, and when the
brick front was added it was regarded
as one Of the finest structures in South
ern Kansas, and travellers rode miles
out of their way to enjoy the accomo-
dations of the Judge and his hospita-
bic family.
a call was circulated this week for a
meeting of citizens at the opera house,
tonight, Friday, for the purpose of
organizing a board of trade for this
city. Every business man and prop
erty holder in the city should be pres
ent and encourage the formation of
such board. In the event of any pub
lie improvements being desired; should
railroad desire to submit PROPOSE
ton to our people; should any matter
of interest to our people come up, a
well organized board of trade could
consider and handle the matter better
than any citizens committee that might
be appointed. Let there be a general
attendance tonight.

rived here Saturday evening and are

chael neighborhood. The lady is
stately and handsome blonde and ''Doc"

the selection of life partner. The
Winfield Visitor has this to say of the

afternoon at the residence of the brides
parents; Rev. j. ii. Reider officiating.
Mr.. Bronson is in business in Medicine
Lodge, and, as noted in the Visitor a
few days ago, has a house prepared for

our best girls, and while regretting to
lose her, the Visitor and her many
friends join in wishing the best of this
life may be their lot.
