Resolutions of Sympathy.
WA-KEENEY, KAN, March 9,

WA-KEENEY, KAN, March 9, 1888.
On behalf of Wa-Keeney Lodge, No.
200, of the A. 0. U. w., we take this op-
portunity of extending our heartfelt sym
pathy to our beloved brother, M. d. Hol-
lister, and his wife, Ella Hollister, in the
loss, by death, of their youngest son,
Richard Hollister.
While we realize that our sympathy
can not check the pangs of sorrow that
come to their hearts. yet we would tender
them our love and sympathy, hoping that
it may come to them as rift in the cloud;
and, though Gods ways are not our ways,
may they realize in the time to come that
whom He loveth He chasteneth; and our
prayer is that the family circle, broken
here, may be reunited above

Trego County Republican Club.


Despite the inclemency of the weather,
the attendance at the regular monthly
meeting of the Trego County Republican
Club, last Monday evening, was quite
good. After the routine business had
been transacted, which included the en-
rollment of some new members, the Male
Quartette, with Miss Bessie Kelly at the
organ, sang one of their fine selections.
Then came the speech of Captain
Hanna, president of the club. He hand
led various points of interest which sepa-
rate the two great political parties, plac-
ing emphasis upon the financial achieve
ments of the Republican party. His adj
dress was received favorably.
After more music, John A. Nelson
opened his speech. He compared the
Democratic and the Republican candi-
dates for president since the birth of the
Republican party, and asked on which
side his hearers would rather be recorded
as having voted. He took up the party
representation in the national congress,
and argued at length in support of the
proposition that the Democratic strength
is in the South. and the Republican
strength in the North. This speech was
also received with favor.
The vote on the preference of the club
for president was preceded by remarks
from several members. Lincoln, Ingalls,
and others were placed in nomination.
We have not the time to hunt up the
secretary to get the exact figures, but the
vote stood something like this: For Lin
coin, 9; for Sherman, 2; for Ingalls,, 2; for
Allison, 2; for Depew, 2: for Gresham, 8.
The next regular meeting of the club
will be in the first Monday evening in
April.

The tragedy is traced to an old grudge
which dated back to last spring. Stew
art was then boarding at the City Hotel
in Millbrook. John Hawkins, clerk Of
the district court of Graham county, is a
colored man. It was then that Stewart
slapped Hawkins for sitting down at the
same table with him. Kelly, we are told,
raised disturbance at three or four
places in Millbrook on Monday, and
threatened that he would "get" Stewart
before leaving town. Stewart is said to
have Stunned him to some extent. Final

each claimed to be ''the best man." Kelly
made at Stewart with a billiard ball.
Stewart warned him not to persist, and
about then shot him. Kelly was some

TIE Kind Of ! Boomer We Are"

myriad lot OF town-lot-boom cranks have
eltner died mighty lately or left the state
LOT the states good Western World.
The curse of Kansas for the last year
mas been the town lot BOOM Next to the
great chopper" year, nothing has happen
ed that was so detrimental to the settle
ment OF its vacant land as this town lot
Doom. There is not a town between To
peka and the west line of the state but
what is too large for the country sur
rounding it. The great trouble has been
that men who came to this part of the
state to buy land on which to make
homes, have been captured by some town
lot boomer and by lies and misrepresen-
tations have been induced to invest in
Fairview, Highland, Goldmine, Double
your-money-in-a-week and other town
site additions, now find that the towns
are too large for the country by about
i've years. Notwithstanding the fact that
stock of all kind has been low and the
low price of wheat during the last year
the farmers or those of them who have
fairly titled their farms are 100 per cent
better off than they we're three years ago.
The great trouble with this part of Kan
sas is that too little farming has been
done. It is pretty generally understood
that the boom has gone where the "wood-
bine twineth." We don't want any one
to think we dislike to see Kansas towns
grow. That is not the case. We would
rather see all the country settle up first;
then, of course, all the towns will have to
grow, not like mushroom, but steady
healthy growth that will do our hearts
good to see. That is the kind of boom
er we are.- Ellis Headlight.

The boom to western Kansas has start
ed. Immigrant wagons and cars are

expectation. of getting large share of

its advantages, was advertised well, and
made known far and wide, it would un-
doubtedly benefit the place.

hour of midnight the guests repaired to
the dining room, and partook of the am
