Faithful Unto DEATH.
BY ANNETTA HALLIDAY.

reVerberated like the roar OF some
great artillery. and the rain had fallen
in sold masses, washing away every.
thing but the tall larch and poplal
trees, which clung closer to the bare,
desolato rocks as if entreating protec
ton and shelter.
But now the mists had arisen and
the whole air was filled with golden
vapor, the sun smiling through the
beads of fresh fallen rain, changing
its white light into blue, red and yellow
fire.
a little way up the mountain stood
n small hut which could hardly be call
ed a cabin. rs it consisted of but one
room with its roof 81 oping so severely
that q man SIX feet in height could not
walk in it erect.
There were great ch;ncks between
the walls through which the rain had
drizzIed upon the bed of a sick man in
the corner, and the bedding was now
very damp. A stool which had origin
ally possessed three legs, but was now
prOpped up in a my sleriOus fashion by
chunk of wood fully an nch too
short, stood by the bed, a picthor with
the handed broken off upon it, and n
bottle Of medicine turned upon its side,

Medicine Valley Items.

You may think that Autumn Leaf,
like the sun-hower, is dead; not quite
so bad as that; but the truth is L got so
shakey over the election 1 was in 10
condition to write. And another rea-
son for the absence of items is, they are
so scarce in the valley-everybody that
could, got married at once. Nobody
eyer dies in this country. So what can
a person write that will interest the
reading community. The only thing
that has happened lately that seemed to
have any life in it was birthday party
given by Miss Georgia Martin last week.
You would have thought the Indians
were on the war path, could you have
heard the yelling and racket the chill
dren kept up for few hours. All
seemed to enjoy it. The hunting par
ties have all returned home; but they
were all too tender-hearted to kill a
poor little deer, and it was not near
enough Thanksgiving to bring in the
turkey. =. Everybody is rustling to get
through their fall work and be ready
for the coming storms. d. The young
gentleman and young ladies, teachers
and officers of the Forest City Sunday
school are invited and requested to meet

giving evening, from seven until ten.

Proposed Waterworks q.

The city council met in special session
last Saturday evening and considered
the petitions asking for special cleo
ton to vote 1900 in bonds for the pur-
pose of putting in a system of water
works IN connection with the ditch.
The idea is, we believe, to build stand
pipe on the hill near the end of the
ditch and pump water into it with a
pump attached to a turbine wheel.
From the stand-pipe will be water
main extending through the town, and
this will be tapped by other pipes.
The council is inclined to favor the
proposition to vote bonds and a special
election will probably be called in a
few days.
The voters and taxpayers of course
will settle this matter, and as a MAORI
ty should rule, we will not here attempt
to argue against the bonds further than
to suggest that we believe it is not yet
time to go further in debt on an uncer-
taInty. 1t will not cost anything to
wait until the ditch has been thorough
ly tested through a freezing winter, a
wet spring and dry summer. If it
turns out that the ditch will hold and
that the water supply will be perma-
nent, every taxpayer will favor voting
bonds, and enough, too, to pay for a
good system. 1t is a serious question
if $50, 600 would more than build a
stand-pipe and lay one main to the CEN
ter of town.

The Water Ditch.

The water was again turned in the
ditch last Friday and allowed to run
until Saturday evening when the tall
gate was shut down and the water al
lowed to fill up the ditch to its full cap
acity. The gate was raised Sunday and
a magnificent stream, u by 80 inches
thick flowed nearly all day. A break
occurred in the levee north of Currie's
field, but this can be easily repaired, it
is thought. There are many small leaks
along the ditch and in places the banks
are not thick enough, and these defects
will have to be remedied. The flow OF
water is as great as the most sanguine
ever anticipated and by deepening the
ditch after it leaves the turbine pit, a
much greater fall could be secured; in
fact the power could be doubled with
no great outlay of money. There is a
fall of about thirty feet between the
turbine pit and the railroad bridge, and
considerable amount of this fall
could be utilized by proper excavation.
Or, it would be possible to let the water
run and utilize the water the second
time before it leaves the city limits.

About the Sugar Works,

ifested SO much interest. | regard it
as absolutely necessary for us to do
something toward securing manufac-
tories, and it is apparent at glance
that no mandatory in this state can
produce such large dividend. and so
quickly. as sugar plant. believe we
could well afford to organize a stock
company, borrow S100, 900 at 10 per cent,
and set up the plant here, and then the
stock holders would be able TO declare
a dividend of 20 per cent. l believe
every man who owns land within six
miles of this city could better afford to
donate one fourth of his land to this
work than to let it fan through. The
plant Will create market for cane,
which is sure and prolific crop, rain
or no rain. This will give the farmers
ready money at a time when it is most
needed. At present our farms are al
most unstable, and $40 per acre will
buy as good farms as the county affords.
If this plant will add $3.50 to the value
of each acre of land within six miles of
town, the land owners could well afford
to build it and give it to somebody to
run it for them. 1t will certainly do
more, and will probably double the val
lie Of the land mentioned. l believe
the land owner ought to show his will
ingness to help himself, now that the
opportunity is offered him. Let him
take stock literally, and the residents
of the city will do all that can be ex-
pected OF them. 1 am for the sugar

Attendance at School.

wish to call the attention of parents
and patrons to the aboye-named sub
ject. Heretofore, we have been very
much annoyed by hardness and irregu-
lar attendance. We have trie nearly
every means to obviate it, but with lit
tie effect. This year thought we would
try another plan; that of giving the room
having the tewest cases of hardness or
halliday absense during the week a
quarter-hOliday 1t has worked very
well. Last week, the room taught by
Miss Burgess had no case of hardness,
the high school only ore, and in all the
rooms but fifteen cases. The other
rooms haye frequently reported but one
or two cases. This is the best showing
for hardness we have ever had. and
what is better, there is a commendable
spirit of rivalry among all the pupils on
the subject.
We hope parents will encourage their
children in prompt, regular attendance.
1t is the only condition by which a
teacher has a fair chance to advance
her pupils. Every day or half day a
child is kept out of school. is just SO
many links ont of the chain of work
prepared for his grade. This is graded
school. A certain amount of work is
laid out for each class to go over, and if
they go over it as carefully as l know
they will under our teachers, am con-
fident that each and every child in this
district may get a good English educa-
ton. But if he misses day of every
week, or week of every month, as
many have done, and do now, we can
not promise him advancement.
We would be glad to have parents
and friends visit our schools. get &C
quainted with our course of study and
our plans, and express their wishes fol-
their children, and they will find us
willing and glad to cooperate with
them. o. 7. BEEsoN.

viii testify. His friends have not .
shadow of doubt that insanity caused
him to do the awful deed. About eight
months ago mental depression was no.
ticed for the second time in life which
lasted about two months. He seemed
all right again and his friends were in
hopes of his recovery, but it was not SO
to be. About six weeks ago he was no
ticed to be failing and continued to
grow worse. The sad result is already
known. The funeral occurred at 8
O'Clock, P. NJ.
a few words of comfort were spoken
by G. b. Hudson from the 4th of Mala-
chi, and the body was conducted to the
graveyard near Lodi and inferred
where he peacefully rests from the tur-
moils of this world to awake at the
Resurrection.
Safe from care, from pain and sorrow,
He has found a resting place;
We know not what may come tomorrow,
Be ready then to quit the race.

Hazslton Happenings.

DIR. j. b. Hungate of Conway Springs,
was in the city the first of the week. He
was called here to see Mrs. G. b. Brown,
who has been very sick. Attorney
Robinson, of Kiowa, visited the city
this week. He is defending D. NJ. Cir
Gle in his law suit. Scott Mansfield's
brother, from Northern Nebraska, is
here looking at the country. He says
the hot winds crossed over the line and
injured the crops In Nebraska as badly
as here. Didn't we tell you so last VIM
ter? The protracted meeting at the
school house is being continued with a
crowded house on each night. Elder
Moflitt, not Elder Hoffman is in charge
- On the Goth we received a copy of
the Sun City Union containing Thur
mans letter of acceptance. 1t don't
take long for paper to get from Sun
City to Hazelton. :. The Hazelton mill
has a new miller; he took charge this
week. C. Butler has put up a set of
corn burrs and will grind corn and
make butter all with the same power.
That looks like business. DIR. Stout
was in the city Friday with wheat to
sell. BE sold to the mill for rs cents
per bushel-10 cents a bushel less than
at Elm Mills, so he states. i. Mrs.
Yoacum still holds the postoffice at
HaZelton; and by the way, when Mrs.
Yoacum was appointed, it was claimed
by some that it was terrible blow to
Hazelton and that the law abiding part
of the community were opposed to her
appointment. After all the books have
been kept straight, the people have
been permitted to mail their letters and
receive their mail in the proper time
and manner. In the face of all this, we
find some of the same people just as
ready and willing to predict all kinds of
difficulties and dangers over the present
appointment; notwithstanding they
were wrong before. Some people learn
by experience, Others never. The
HaZelton Express will be sold at auc-
tiOn the Goth. A chattel mortgage is
what does it. Prof. StOwell and Miss
Shilling will attend the Winfield asso-
citation this week. Quarterly meeting
services were held at the NJ Z. church
Saturday and Sunday. Rev. j. A. Da-
Wis officiated in the absence of both the
pastor and elder. He preached some
very able and eloquent discourses and
left the members well pleased and
anxious for his return. w. G. A.
