jority against it. We say it will dc
: nothing of the kind. We re.
serve our arguments for future issues Of
the paper between this and the second
day of November.
Ia. A man named Smith shoots and
kills at Chas. Sherlock's, near the mouth
OF the blackberry, in this county, DR.. NJ
81. Bernardo, the keeper of trading
ranch and small supply store on the
Walnut, in Ness county A Sec
ton man falls off car at Wallace, re-
sulting in one of his legs being broken.

Vineland, Douglas county, Kansas.
Is. Cars break a tramp's arm at Grin
nell, Cove county.
90. The u. S. land Office is moved into
the Keeney block.
81. To-day's WORLD: One day last
week. Chas. Mullen, fireman on this
railroad, while attempting to jump on
at Hays City, had one great toe crushed.
Gangrene set in, and in few days he
died :. The city dads have decided that
Hawthorne's petition for liquor license
lacked the requisite number OF signatures.
We learn that he has abandoned the con-
test, and will open a meat market IN
few DAYS. Fl. D. Morse was named
senatorial committeeman for this county
by the recent convention at Walnut City.
Tramps lie round loose. Geo.
Baker. the efficient butcher at Vaille's
meat market, has been temporarily super
seeded by VIM. Blair. The cause of this
is the accidental cutting of Mr.. Bakers
right hand, instead of chunk OF other
meat, by himself.
q. A boy from the east jumps off a
freight train. He makes noises like
dog, cat, or almost anything else. City
Marshal Childs concludes to take him in
the evening, and go dog hunting around
Osborn's house. Child's begins to shoot
all around the house, calls Osborn up,
and that gentleman appears on the scene,
not very fully equipped as to clothing.
The dog reaches for him in the neighbor-
hood of the shirt-tail, and the crowd
roars with laughter. Osborn says this is
too good to be lost, and he leads the way
to DR.. Morgan's. That gentleman is
found full of the dog-hunting spirit. He
looks for the dog, espies him crouched in
a corner, draws mis- revolver, and just on
the "spur of salvation" is prevented
fran shooting. The curtain falls.
a. A washout west of Wallace sets
trains back somewhat. 80. Mrs. W. S. Til
ton experiences quite violent electric
shock this evening while working about
the cook stove. The lightning is ter
rife.
25. County convention meets to select
delegates to the gubernatorial convention.
Called to order by W. S. Tilton. L. W.
Miller presides. A. II. Blair is secretary.
7. P. Vaille and f. D. Morse are elected
delegates.
%. WORLD of to-day: Smith was
cleared on Friday of last week on the
charge of having killed DR.. Barnardio....
Considerable bought-ou-time seed wheat
reached here about the middle OF the
week, and people have been hauling 1t
away by the load. =. Ben @. Rich re-
ceived an GA" grade certificate at the
teachers examination on Tuesday. IA
few months ago J. P. Smith, of the Sa-
line valley, bad hundred hens, from
which he has this year raised
$50 chickens. Out of the whole
lot only 60 have escaped the murderous
assaults of skunks and wolves. -. The
Lane County Gazette mentions the killing
of Ada Warner, six years of age, during
the terrible wind storm at Dighton week
ago last Sunday Fred Rose, Wa
keeney stone cutter, had his leg broken
at junction City the other day while he
was asleep near the railroad track.
Geo. Baker has purchased the Wa-Kee-
ney meat market of 7. P. Vaille. Mr.. Ba-
ker calculates to run first-class market,
and sell nothing but the best OF meats.
There were but three shanties in Wa
Keeney when he reached here. -. The
WORLD urges the establishment OF a
broom factory in Wa-Keeney.
This concludes our epitome, for this
week, of six months of the second year OF
the WORLD. We shall have to rest until
next week, at least. In the meantime, if
you want this show to proceed, do not
hesitate to say so with emphasis, seasonen
with financial salt.
Lemke's House Leveled.
John Lemke's house was by the Saline,
a mile east of Geo. Galloway's. 1t is not
there now. 1t burned to the ground last
Sunday forenoon. John, before going to
the stable to do some chores, built good
fire in the cook stove, so as to have the
