Mulvane Record: The price of oats
is seemingly very low in Mulvane, but
we heard farmer in Wellington telling
about selling part of his oats at 81
cents per bushel. That is lower than
anything we have heard of here.

of which is used.
Ell Dorado Republican: A bold rob-
berry was committed on the Missouri
Pacific train in the flint hills, few days
ago, at which place the train runs at a
very slow speed on account of the trestle
work. A single robber boarded the
train at that place and went through
the sleeping coaches, and after securing
something like s4OO jumped off and
made his escape. The authorities are
on his trail, but SO far he is at large.
Ell Dorado Republican: Since the
mob which broke into the jail in hopes
of finding the murderer, Robert Snyder,
who killed his wife and her mother, and
lynching him, was disappointed, all has
been quiet in regard to the matter. But

him.
Tribune Republican: The treasurer
of the Tribune school district received
a draft from State Superintendent Geo.

over the fact that Tribune school bonds
sold for 100 cents on the dollar.

be ready for business on time.

perhaps. The buildings have cost over
$3.50, 900, and were donated outright to
the invalid ex-soldiers of Kansas. The
