Wedding Bells.

At the residence of the BRIDES pa
rents, eight miles southeast of the city
very pleasant wedding took place las
Thursday evening. The bride was
Miss Grace Stewart and the groom
Manford Peck, of Salina. Rev. W. II
Sweet officiated in the ceremony which
made the happy couple one.
A large party of invited guests was
present and the arrangements, includ
ing the supper, were deliberately and
tastily prepared.
The presents, the list of which is toe
long to be given here, were elegant AND
costly and testified to the heartiness Of
the good wishes which the company
bestowed upon Mr.. and Mrs. Peck.
An adjournment was taken at an
early hour when the guests dispersed
some to their homes, and others to at
tend Bells which were not wedding

COUNTY high SCHOOL.
The Institution Completed-T b e
Trustees Accept It.

We clip from the the Chapman Cou-
rier the following account of the county
high school which has just been &C
cepted by the trustees:
The county high school board met in
this city Monday afternoon and after
inspecting the new county building
they pronounced it first class in every
particular" They then adjourned to
the county seat where they formally &C
cepted the building.
The main building being 57x59 feet
in size gives assurance that 300 stu
dents may be easily accommodated.
The basement consists of spacious
hall and three rooms, one of which
with little additional expense may be
subdivided and transformed into the
pleasantest kind of dwelling apart
ments. On the first floor there will be
an Office, two recitation rooms and a
commodious study. A spacious hall
also adds much to the style and conven-
fence of this first story. The design of
the upper story is, two recitation rooms,
large library, and large assembly
room which will likely prove to be the
largest room in the county with the sew
eral possible exceptions. The work
manship thus far displayed bids fair to
make this structure source of pride
to the town and credit to the pro-
gressive county which has been the first
to take advantage of the statutes
authorizing county high schools. Ad-
ditional appropriations have recently
been made by the county high school
board, which when applied will make
about $4,000 which have been ex-
pended on the building and grounds.
The building will be opened to the
public on or about the 1st of Septem-
Der when, under the management of a
competent principal, the institution
may be made to compete with any high
school in the State.
Three courses of instruction will be
arranged; a normal, scientific and a
high school course. Many families are
already preparing to take advantage of
the school and many more will proba-
bly, move here before it opens. There
are numerous families in and around
Chapman that would make their homes
attractive to the students who will
wish to attend from abroad. To say
the least 1t behooves the whole county
to combine for the success of the county
high school. Teachers, parents, guard
ians and pupils alike may do much to
place this coming institution in great
prominence throughout the county and
central Kansas.

A Business Change.

We chronicle this week a business
change by which Abilene will lose an.
other of her best citizens. Mr.. W. L
Miller has disposed of his interest in the
lumber company of Miller & Thomas
to Mr.. Thomas and will engage in the
same business with Mr.. Brooks, of
Mcpherson, at Topeka. He goes to
Topeka tomorrow to remain a week
after which he will return and move
his family there. We regret exceed
ingly to lose Mr.. NJ. from this city.
He has by his manly, straightforward
course as a business man and in social
circles proved himself man whom Alb
ilene can ill afford to spare. We hope
however that his new location will
meet his fullest anticipations and that
fortune will continue to smile upon
him

Taken Home.

The sad accident which occurred at
the home of Sheriff D. w. NALL
Wednesday morning fulfilled the worst
fears of the child's parents and resulted
fatally. The little one passed away
this morning at o'clock after period
of extreme suffering.
The facts in the case, as will be re-
membered by our readers, were that on
Tuesday night some poisoned meat was
placed on the floor to destroy mice.
The animals pulled one piece partly
into hole and when the remainder was
gathered up in the morning this was
overlooked and baby, finding it, ate it..
Though all was done that medical skill
could do death ensued this morning.
Mabel Grace was but little over a
year old, having reached her frst birth
day anniversary on the 18th of last
September. She was bright, winsome
child and the idol of the fathers and
mothers heart. The blow falls with
crushing force upon the bereaved pa
rents though they have the sincerest
sympathy of wide circle of friends.
The funeral was held Saturday
morning at 10 O'Clock at the sherIff's
residence, Rev. W. n. Zimmerman of
fciating.

CHEEvER, Twp, Nov. "a.
The atmosphere of these parts has
cleared wonderfully since the political
| storm of short time ago. Ye farmer
has been busy gathering in his corn.
| and laying in a stock of coal against
| the snow storms to come; the immortal
| spelling school has been wound up to
run six months, while the sound of the
viol and fast-tripplng feet are borne on
| every passing breeze. The school
children wend their way to the temples
of learning, bearing baskets filled with
the fruits of the earth to MUNICH while
the pedagogue's back is turned; the
quail in jolly revels runs merrily after
the belated bug; everything is lovely
and the goose hangs high.
Protracted meeting is being held at
Center school house in Cheever.
Miss Dora Barter has departed for
Salina to spend the winter with rela-
tives there, and at least one young man
is in deep mourning and signs for the
return of springtime, gentle zephyrs.
Harry Shadinger, Esq, of Abilene,
is visiting his relatives of Cheever.
A social gathering was had at the
hospitable home of Mr.. and Mrs. Mer-
rifeld, Buckeye, ON last Friday eve, at
which the young people of the country
round spent an enjoyable evening.
There will be an entertainment at
the Talmage school house in two weeks,
of the finest order, at which will be
whole bushels of fun and amusement
for everybody. The young tragedians
of this place will do the play act for the
benefit of the brass band. See small
bills.
What might have been a serious &C
cident occurred last Sunday near Tai
mage. AS Messrs. Merrifeld and
Danky were out enjoying a "spurt"
with their speedy nags, they seemed to
each want to reach quarter pole at
the same time. Turning too short one
gentlemen and lady went flying through
the air, while the other gentleman rode
with his head under the buggy pole and
feet over the dash board until his Sum-
day girl pulled him in by the heels and
admonished him that it was the Sab
hath and a more dignified position
should be assumed. "All's well that

a Serious Accident.

Last Sunday evening John M. Sheets,
who lives six miles northeast of De-
troit, was attacked by a vicious bull
and very seriously hurt. The animal
sprang on him trampling him with bis
feet, and after severely bruising him,
gored him in his left thigh. The
wound is from four to six inches deep,
extending to the groin and much LAGER
ated. He is, however, doing as well as
can be expected under the circum-
stances. DR.. Gum, of Chapman, is at

The ''Blal0ck Gang"

District Clerk Brilliant has just re
ceived from the clerk of the Supreme
Court, the mandate of that tribunal re
garding the cases of Martin Thomas
Isaiah Johnson, Hiram johnson anG
Henry Krienhop, which cases have
been remanded to the district court fol
a new trial.
The grounds upon which the Su.
preme bench renders its decision of re.
versal is that of illegal evidence. In
the trial last summer it will be remem-
bered that one Shaffer turned States
evidence and his testimony, the most
important of all, was largely instru,
mental in conyicting the men. Much
that he gave as evidence was report
of what the different parties told him
individually. and not in the presence OF
the remainder of the gang.
In law such evidence can only BIT
used to criminate the party with whom
the witness converses. In the trial il
was allowed to be used against the
whole party who were being tried to-
gether. This evidence should, if adj
mitted, have been made to apply only
to individual members of the gang
As it was not done the county will b.
to the expense of having a new tria
next February.
The prisoners can thank Hon. ]. G..
Mohler, of Salina, for securing the re.
yersal of their case as it was through
his efforts that the appeal was made
and through his able presentation of
the case that the Supreme Court made
its decision.

made out and the men tried separately

The necessary change in the evidence is
not yet determined by the prosecution. !

A BOOTLEG SALOON.
Marshal Powell Pulls Dispenser of

Marshal Powell Pulls a Dispenser Of
the Ardent and Lodges Him in Jail
This afternoon as Marshal Powell
was making his rounds he saw in the
east part of town young man absorb.
ing happiness and bug-juice from the
business end of quart bottle. Saun.
tering toward him Mr.. Powell asked
the youth for drink. He handed over
the bottle which was yet about hall
full of whisky and the Marshal quietly
pocketed it and demanded the name of
the person who had sold it. The young
man was badly frightened and IN
bosomed himself completely, saying
that he procured the stuff from one
Daniel Gordon, an ex-railroad cook. on
southside.
Marshal Powell went after his man
and soon finding him lodged him in Jail.
The young mans affidavit was then
taken. In it he swears that Gordon
sold him the whisky for 81 and that the
sale took place in one of the old stores
on sOuthside.
The bootlegger will have his exami-
nation tomorrow.
A few hauls like this will not only
increase the respect felt for Mr..
Powell but will serve as wholesome
lesson to the violators of the law who
have become too numerous and too
bold in this city. The fullest measure
of the law should be melted out to such
characters.
