the many readers of this paper, and
thousands of people in the east have
already read the publication. A sample

of copies sent east; II want to say
this is one of the best papers issued in
Kansas, as the information is inst what
people want In the east, and 1t gives
them true idea Of just what there is
in the west, and especially in Barber
county. Please forward the above pap
ers by first mail as the parties are anx-

At the entertainment, last Thursday
evening, where the ladies' In charge had
announced that gentlemen without
ladies would be charged an admission
fee of 50, the boys played good joke
which Tas duly Appreciated. They
dressed Otis LortOn in silks ana rugged
him up In the latest style. e. 1. Long
marched in with the "lady" and took a
front seat. Tie LADY, did not more
than get settled until she retired
alone and returned with w. }. MiIligan.
The audience stared and wondered
what it meant. She retired again and
brought in Sam. Overstreet, aud then

woman who had dared make an exhi-
Dition of herself in a strange town. Mr..
Long was at first charged with the i'm
pOrtation; then Mr. Milligan's shoulders
were made to bear the load; and finally
quiet and modest Sam. Overstreet was
settled on as the guilty party. But all
receptions must end sometime, and 50
this one did. Otis LOTIONS girl knew
his eyes; the boys in town .'caught
on tor his walk; some one else
dropped" on his paws and at last
his base ball mqstache was detected
through the paint aud powder on his
lips. 1t was all over then, and now the
regulations of our young gentlemen
have been replaced on their former solid
foundations.
