the Widow sauesieey Moo.

The widow Musglety Moo is in a terrible stew;
The world it won't wag at her will;
She fumes and she frets in terrible pet
And her tongue it never is still.
The widow Mugglety Moo has too much to do;
She runs the gossiping trade.
It's just to her mind, and don't she shine,
Especially in her one-sided tirage.
The widow Mugglety Moo will declare to you
That she is not of Irish extraction.
She couldn't bear such disgrace to share;
1t would drive her to distraction.
To the Scotch il is due, and We are thankful too
To them she can claim her DECENT
Not but that she is nice. We didn't hint advice.
Oh, no. that's not what We meant
The widow Mugglety Moo would faint. 1t is true.
To mention q novel or card,
But to lie and steal is right. but to reveal,
Oh, that on the widow is hard.
Widow Mugglety Moo is very youthful too.
Perhaps she might squeeze in q vote;
II she can't her son surely can one,
II he don't change his age with his coat.
Widow Mugglety Moo is one Of the lovely few;
She has a nose like plow share,
And chin the same, aud both will proclaim
That she the ostensibles should wear
The widow Mugglety Moo wants husband too,
But who can blame her for that;
She's had a long run to not catch one;
They're surely too lean or too fat

Are We to Have Another war?

Some political prophets aver that We
shall. BE that as it may, the battle
waged by medical science against dis
ease will never cease until we arrive at
that uptOpian epoch when the human
family shall cease to be afflicted with
bodily ailments. One of the most potent
weapons which the armOry of medicine
furnished is HOstetters Stomach Bitters,
which is of special utility as a family
remedy, as it is adopted to the immedi
ate relief and ultimate cure of those dis
orders of the stomach, liver and bowels
which are of commOnest occurrence. In
digestion, biiiOusness and constipation
are inseparable companions, and these
ailments are completely eradicated by the
bitters, but the remedical scope of this
wholesome and genial med
icine takes in also nervous ailments rheu-
matism and kidney troubles; its action in
these. as in the other complaints. being
by nnequalled thorough
ness.

Meath q, Col. 3. 3. prou.v.

Col Prouty died at his home in Tope-
ka on last Wednesday evening, Jan. 30,
at 9;37, of consumption, the Outgrowth
of severe cold contracted while taking
the census of Kearney county in the
winter of 81 Nearly everybody in Ford
county knew the colonel, he having pub
lshed the Cowboy" here for about
three years. and during that time his Of
flee was twice destroyed by fire. The
Cowboy was the last paper he pub
lished, he afterwards taking up his resi-
dence at his old home in Topeka. In
speaking of his death, the Hutchinson
News says:
Col Prouty reached Kansas and took
up claim about eighteen miles south of
Lawrence early in 1857. and began the
publication of the 'Freeman's Champion
in Prairie City, with the suggestive mot
to. Liberty or Death There was no
middle ground with Col. Prouty. The
first two months of the publication was
passed in a tent. but this Inconvenience
did not deter the paper from ventilating
the cause it had espOused. In October
following Mr.. Prouty was elected county
clerk of Douglas county, thus enjoying
the distinction of being the first free
state clerk elected in that county. In
1859 he moved to Burlington, Coffey
county, and established the NeoshO Val
ley Register, which he published until
the war
OF his personal history since-hls SER
vic in the army, his newspaper career,
being elected first state printer, etc.-the
reader is no doubt familiar.
Col. Prouty was known for many years
as one of the heaviest men in Kansas,
his weight being over three hundred
pounds At the time of his death he
weighed less than one hundred and TWEEN
ty pounds-a mere shadow of his former
self
He did not up to the hour he breathed
his last, anticipate that death was near.
Deluded, as most people are who are
similarly afflicted, he believed he would
pull through his present illness. go to
California and return fully restored to
health"

D. c. m. q T. Railroad.

There is now considerable talk about
the extension of the d. c., NJ. & 7. road,
and that with the commencement of work
on the O., d. c. & s., work will also
commence on the other line. We clip
the following from the Watervale TINES.
published in Las Animas county. Colo.
in regard to the d. c.. NJ. Il T. road:
ANOTHER NEW RAILROAD.
A. Walty received reliable information
from Messers Finlay & Milton, promi-
nent attorneys of Dodge City. Kan, of
the railroad being completed twenty-six
miles southwest and that new company
has formed and will complete and open
said road this summer from there to Trim
idad. This locality has been selected as
a proper point to get there; splendid
country to get good land yet before all
Is taken.

The coming city election, which Will
be held on Tuesday, April =, is one OF
considerable importance to the people
of Dodge City. We shall elect a may
or, four councilmen, police Judge,
city treasurer a treasurer and several
members of the school board, two con-
stables and two justices of the peace.
All Of these officers will be elected for
two years, and it bchooves the citizens
of Dodge to see tina, good men are Sc
lected to fill the various places.
We should have for mayor an ener-
getic, public spirited man; one who has
the interest of the city and county at
heart; an able, honest, influential rep
resentative man; man who knows the
condition of things here; who is free
from prejudice and extreme views, and
one who will work assiGuously for the
best interests of all our people. Men
of similar qualifications should be Sc
lected for the responsible positions OF
councilmen. Likewise the several 9th
er Offices should be filled by able and
honest men who will discharge their
duties faithfully and according to law.
The TINES will support for Office
some of the present incumbents, should
they again be candidates, believing
that efficient and conscientious service
should be rewarded by the endorsement
of the press and people, and believing
further, in scr plural parlance, that We
should hold fast to that which is good.
We have no want of good and cOmpe-
tent men in Dodge City whose official
conduct, if they are elected, will re-
feet credit upon them and their con-
stituents. If such men are not elected
to Office, the people will only have
themselves te blame.
1t will not be forgotten that ladies
can vote for all municipal candidates,
which include all the officers mentioned
excepting those of constables and JUS
tices of the peace, these latter being
township Offices.
