City and Millbrook. He says the Cen

from Stockton early in the spring, msk

Gated.
Lakin Pioneer Democrat: Claim.
holders should etay with their claims
They are very foolish for proving up and
moving out. It will be but few year:
until these claims viii be worth as many
thousands If dollars es they are no1
worth hundreds.
Bill Hackney, of Winfield, offered 6
resolution in the council meeting to re-
fund the fine Of a councilman who had
been arrested for abusing man on the
stree. and disturbing the peace, on the
ground that the man and hundreds more
like him sought to have been damned u
Kansas City Kan Gazstte: On the
tombstone OF man buried in the Wichi-
ia cemetery is cut the Kansas motto,
s.Ad Astra per Aspera." Underneath
this maxim, in smaller letters, is an in
scription which tells that the deceased
was blown to pieces by the explosion OF
boiler.
Lakin P:oneer Democrat: While
there are olaim-holders deserting their
claims in different paris OF the county
there are others coming 10. In all new
countries it hes been the third or fourth
set which were the stayers. Those who
come to Kansas to make it their home
usually stay. Those who move out are
experimental fellows who never had q
home nor never will have one.
Colby Democrat: At the preliminary
trial of Mrs. Harris, ss an accessory to
the Nottingham murder, no evidence YVES
produced sufficient TO hold her for ap-
pesrance at mex! term Of the district
court. Hence she was acquitted. Har-
ris, who is charged With the murder,
waived preliminary trial before Justice
Irwin and was remanded back to jail
awaiting action Of district court.
The Catholic church occasionally does
sams boycotting. An anonymous article
which appeared in a late issue of the
Wichita Diocesan News, maliciously mis-
representing facts and misleading in its
scurriious bearings, compsls the right
reverend bishop OF Leavenworth to for
bid hencefor.h the circulation of the
same among the reverend clergy and the
faithful of his diocese.
Newton Republican: Word hes been
received O: the death of Brakeman
Browning Of the Santa Fe, running on
Conductor Brodie's train. The train
was going up Mendoza Hill in thu
Indian Territory where it ia supposed
he fell eff tie top of a box car. Tho
conductor saw his lantern fash as he
fell, and stopping the train, went bsck
and found his Likeness body. His neck
had been broken by the fall. His home
was at Winfield.
The Newton Republican offers this
advice: When town has had boom
and lost it, it should bs conscious of the
fact, and not indulge in the belief that
wind will blow the boom back again.
Prosperity viii come back, il the people
work together for it, but the quicker the
boom idea is dropped the better. Rents
and the selling and buying prices Of
property should be adjusted TO the Cir
cumstances. Crying over dead boom
or pretending that 1t is not dead are alike
silly.
Syracuse Sentinel: For the past week
several ladies of Syracuse have been ex-
aiming the druggists statements fled
in the probate judges Office with the
view of having the druggists permits re-
voked. Wednesday afternoon DR.. Downs
handed in his permit, which was duly
cancelled. Sometime Wednesday night
some person or persons forced an en-
trance into the probate judges ofiice and
stole all the statements therein with the
exception of those fled by Jake Weiss;
and those from Greeley county. There
are, of course, many opinions as to who
stole the statements, and the purpose of
the theft, Lut one thing is certain, and
that is, if the parties who stole the state
ments ara discovered, the officials will
make it exceedingly uncomfortable for
them.
