TOWN THRIFT.

Work is progressing rapidly on the up
going Presbyterian church building. The
foundation is built of hard rock, and is
magnifcently strong.
The two piles of sand in the public
square. which are to enter into the con-
struction of the court house, begin to re-
semble in their colossal proportions the
natural sand-hills which we used to see in
southwestern Kansas in 1868 and 1869.
The work on DR.. Upshaw's new resi-.
dence is we'll under Roadway. j. w. Bush,
from Quinter, is the head carpenter.
Lee Monroe has begun to place the ma
terials on the ground for the construction
of new business house. The house will
be built just west of the barber shop
which stands to the west of Monroe, Hen
KEEL & DAMS Office. The house will front
to the north. Its dimensions will be %
feet east and west by "a feet north and
south. Its sides will be enclosed with
sheet iron. The front will be of glass, and
in the rear will be iron shutters and an
iron storm door. The ceiling will be ten
feet high. This building will be divided
into two business rooms, the west one Of
which is to be occupied by G. F. Nc
knight, and the east one by the Pennsyl-

COLLIER, Feb. Is, 1888.


Masquerade over.
And every thing passed off smoothly.
Mr.. "Jim" Sloey came down from Buff
falo to our dance.
Mr.. Charley Benedict was up from the
county seat last night.
Peleg Richards returned to the railroad
Monday, after weeks vacation.
A rurnor is ahoat that we are to have a
wedding in our 'city" very soon.
Mr.. Baker, editor of the Quinter Guide
took in the masquerade last night.
Miss Belle Lord, who has been in Ogal-
lah this winter, came home on visit yes
terday.

given in Buffalo Park next Friday by
home talent.
Rev. J. G. Elliott flied his regular
appointment Sunday evening. and preach
ed from Matt. 1l:27.
Wa-Keeney was well represented at the
party, though the ladies were not SO nu-
merous as heretofore.
Miss Aleen Smith, Pansy Piper and
Mrs. Fannie Colby expect to leave Coll
yer tomorrow for Kansas City.
Several from Collyer and vicinity an
ticipate enjoying the masquerade ball
which will be given at Wa-Keeney the q.
Messrs. Marshall, Taylor and Boyd,
three of Wa-Keeney's popular gentlemen,
attended the masquerade ball last even
ing.
J.H. Siebert has been working at his
trade-that of painting-in Wa-Keeney
for the past week. He will move his fam
lily down in few weeks.
Although last Wednesday evening was
cold and disagreeable, large company
gathered at G. w. Kessler's, two miles
south of town, to spend the evening in
card-playing and taffy-pulling. While
endeavoring to tell fortunes, the stove
pipe was knocked down, and ere that was
replaced pail of water was upset, and
before the evening had passed a lamp
chimney was broken. This certainly was
improbable to Mr.. Kessler, but splendid
time was had; and as the "wee sma' hours
drew near the crowd returned to their
homes.
The masquerade ball came off last
night, and was well attended, there being
40 tickets sold. The maskers were nu-
merous, and the costumes were both comic
and handsome. Miss Nellie kessler and
Lulu LeBron represented aower-girls;
Walter Bruner, black diamond; Chas
Bamberg, clown; Will Bowers, policeman:
Bessie E. Siebert, old fashioned girl; Kate
Mcdonald, dinah; and many others to
numerous to mention. The unmasking
took place at IL o'clock, and with it loud
shouts of laughter. Good music was fur
nished by Messrs Otis and Jesse Kessler
and Ed. Bias. Near dawn of morn the
crowd began slowly to disperse, though it
was with regret.
NOTES.
Collyer can boast of her dances.
The military costumes were handsome.
Wasn't dinah represented well?
The dancers didn't seem to get very
tired.
The supper was good.

w. 5. Varnum, formerly of Ogallah,
and later OF Wa-Keeney, has sent ue
copies OF the DAILY San Diegon, published
at San Diego, Gala. The paper contains
an immense delinquent tax-ist. At the
end OF the list is the official statement
that II these taxes are not paid within q
given time, the real estate upon which
they are levied will be sold. This impos-
ing list, IN the light of the penalties
accompanying it,speaks only too certainly
OF the prevalence of hard times out there.
We are glad to observe, however, amidst
the ruins, that our Kansas man (Varnum)
has risen to be tax-collector OF San

A WOMAN'S DEVOTION.

\ case was tried in one of the
New York courts the other day,
which illustrates in a striking man
ner the devotion Of women to those
upon whom they have set their
hearts even though the objects of
their affection may be monsters in
human form.
William Bohan did not lavish
loving attentions upon his wife. On
the contrary, he treated her most
brutally. He often struck her. and
is known to have threatened to hang
her to the limb OF tree, which had
grown at convenient distance from
the ground in his yard. In 1886. in
tit of british rage, he rushed at
her and gouged out one of her ewes.
A few weeks ago he finished the
fiendish job by gouging out the
other.
But Mrs. Bohan did not turn
against him. When he was on trial
for the horrible crime, she took the
witness stand, and in the face of
conclusive evidence already intro
duced against the prisoner, she de-
clared that William treated her
kindly; that he was not to blame :
that he did not intend to tear out
her eyes. When he was convicted,
she put her hands over her pupilless
sockets, and rocked her body to and
tro IN an agony Of grief.
1t is wonderful-this devotion Of
woman; divine gift which, i
honored as it should be, bears hel
up under all the troubles of life
and which fingers still, causing hel
intense anguish, when he upor
whom she has lavished it repudiates
it and proves himself worse than ;
brute. He was convicted an,
sentenced to 20 years imprison
men+.

SIGNED THE LORDS PRAYER.
From the Century.

How easy it is in Russia to get a
high officials signature to any sort
OF a document, may be illustrated
by an anecdote that | have every
reason to believe is absolutely true.
A 'stolanahcalnik" or head of a
bureau, in the provincial admins
tration of Tobolsk, while boasting
one day about his power to shape
and direct government action, made
wager with another chinovnik
that ne could get the governor of
the province-the late Governor
Lissogorski-to sign manuscript
copy of the Lords prayer. He
wrote che prayer out in the form of
an official document on sheet of
stamped paper, numbered it, attach
ed the proper seal to it, and handed
1t to the governor with a pile of 9TH
er papers which required signature.
lie won his wager. The governor
duly signed the Lords prayer, and
1t was probably as harmless an off,
cial document as ever came out Of
his office.

STUMBLING BLOCK.

A desire TO start manhood life at
the top and an unwillingness to be-
gin at the bottom is to day keeping
multitudes Of young men away from
both the bottom and the top.
They are not willing to accept an
humble position at humble wages
and to work up the ladder of pro-
motion, forgetful of the fact that the
foundation stone of success in all
avocations of life is laid at the very
bottom, and that the best cement to
make secure these foundation stones
is the cement of experience.
This is the stone of stumbling
with many of the young men,
10 remove it they must accept the
first opportunity for honorable work
that offers, no matter how humble
nor how unremuneratfve may APP
pear the wages. By rightly inn
proving this, another opportunity
higher up the ladder will soon be
sent, and thus step by step they will
soon reach point at which their
services will be in demand and then
will success be within reach.
1t is sad mistake in the life of
any young man without means and
employment to spurn and refuse any
honorable position because per-
chance it may be an humble one.
Don't be afraid or ashamed of the
bottom, boys, for there is where the
foundation stones are laid. -Forsyth
Advertiser.
