Thus has the cold hand Of death,
whose grim shadow has 50 long hung
DER peaceful home, at last reached
forth and touched with fatal chill the
warm heart Of q friend whom all who
knew did love. Long and bravely the
faithful wife and earnest friends have
battled to keep of that fatal touch, but
all in vain. The sodden earth hath
claimed its share; and another spirit
freed from earthly sufferings has gone
to join the 'innumerable caravan"
Many and many a day of late the
first inquiries of our people, as they
reached their places Of business in the
morning, have been, "How is Rufe
Bell this morningP" and when told from
time to time that the battle was still
on; that the old soldier still fought
bravely for life, and home, and wife
and little ones, hope has sprung in
many q heart and been uttered by many
lips that the brave man might conquer
and worthily live. But God willed
otherwise.
MIR. Bell was one of the first friends
the writer made when coming to Great
Bend years ago stranger and in need,
and ever will our memory hold a kind
and grateful thought for him and his
valued friendship.
He was native of Ohio, removing
to Winterset, Iowa, when but a young
lad. At the breaking out of the war of
the rebellion he enlisted as private,
when not yet Is years of age, in Com
pany F., 4th Iowa Infantry, and served
his country well on many a battle field.
He was married in 1870 to. Miss Annie
McCaughn, of Winterset, and removed
to Great Rend in 1875, having resided
here ever since, numbering as his per-
sonal friends most of the people of Bar
ton county. He leaves wife and three
children, who have the deserved deep
sympathy of their many friends.

Presbyterian church at 2 p. M, Jan. %,

G. A. R., and the Sons of Veterans &C
companied the remains to their last
resting place. .
''Soldier rest, thy warfare DER,
Sleep the sleep that knows no breaking;
Dream Of battle fields no more;
Days Of danger, nights Of waking"
Husband, rest; thy cares are past,
And Widows tears flow Ger thee;
God, the father, called at last,
And none else could answer for thee.
Father, rest; thy children, mourning,
Will remember thy love ever
Like the stars, the morn adjoining,
It will guide them ''o'er the river"
Friend and eomrade, peace be with you;
Though our hearts be full of sorrow,
We will hope again to meet you
Where no partings shade the morrow.

On THE morning of the 18th inst, a
small herd of buffalo while being trans
fered from the cars, at Kansas City,
broke loose and made dash for liberty;
running down the railroad tracks, past
the union depot, and creating conster-
nation wherever they went. It must
have been novel sight to those who
were up early enough, to see buffalo
dashing through the steets of the city.

advertised to 60 to Niagara Falls dur

Particularly well pleased with the
prospect was Lucy, for being an UNI
usually bright child, she took great
interest in our national wonder, and
had often expressed q desire to see it.
AS the eventful day approached, cir

Ellinwood Extracts.

ElunW0od 6XtraCCS.
From the Advocate.
The ''band boys'' will give a grand
masquerade ball on the evening of St.
Valentines Day.
The organization of the salt company
was completed Tuesday by electing Mr..
Matt. Dick secretary.
The wheat will now have good
chance to begin growing in the early
spring, as the ground will not again
dry out before the spring rains set in.
A creamery, salt plant and the
Santa Fe machine shops are the sure
Ellinwood in the near future, with a
strong possibility of a sugar factory in
the spring.
The ground in this portion of the
state has not been SO thoroughly wetted
for many months as it is at present.
The snow of Sunday, and the rain of
Monday and Tuesday was glorious
thing for central Kansas.
The merit of II. F. Hagan's herd of
pedigreed Berkshire hogs is becoming

having recently sold pig to DR.. Barr,

De Soto, Missouri. 1t pays to raise
good stock.

F. r. Miles, newspaper man of sew
eral years experience, and practical
printer, has been added to the advocate
force. and with his assistance we pro-
pose to give Ellinwood the best paper
she has ever had, and with increasing
prosperity of the town, we ask that our
citizens give US a better patronage, in
order that we may accomplish that end.
Mrs. w. E. Stoke, of Great Bend.
was in the city Saturday, interviewing
delinquent subscribers to the Barton
county DEMOCRAT. The merit of the
DEMOCRAT as the leading paper of the
county is recognized by our citizens, as
its circulation in this part of the county
will show. We might feel a little jeal-
GUS of Brother Stokes success among
our people, but for the fact that we
recognize the difference between local
paper and a political county organ. We
wish the DEMOCRAT unbounded sue

HARPER and Clark county farmers
tried novel but eficatious plan to
keep hot winds from scorching their
corn last summer. They planted two
rows of corn to one of cane alternately.
Every farmer knows there is some
thing like contagion in the way corn
burns under hot winds, and they also
know cane rarely burns, and by it's
freshness draws moisture in the cool
nights which corn does not. That
there is something feasible in the plan
is evident from the fact that fields adj
joining those planted in this manner
were total failures, while thirty bushels
per acre were harvested from the mix.
