which IS only SYNONYM for success.
New names come in every day. If you
do not take it, your neighbors viii
laugh at you.
John Allen says that if George
Sherritt's chickens are three years old /
they ought to be killed. John says
that he has run the chickens from his
premises in the last three months.
Jim Leslie the burly eoIored black
smith on Commercial above Seventh,
has a bell-like voice. that may be heard
blocks away in the early morning as he
handles words with passers by. Jim is
like KING Cole, merry old soul, and
always ready for a joke or laugh.
Your colored brother is the happiest of
mortals. He always finds something
TO laugh at.
A warrant was issued Thursday for
the arrest of A. C.. Selden, chief clerk
OF the Fort Scott and Wichita railroad,
whose Office was at the latter place.
The charge against him was the EN-
bezzling of $500. He had wind of
the coInpaDy's action and skipped. He
is a trifie fast, and his extravaganza
habits caused the investigation that
resulted as stated above.
Miss Rachel A. stanton of Lawrence,
Kan, a former student of the Normal
and resident of this city, has been
elected one of the teachers in the Car
iGln Of
Miss Stanton is teacher of rare abili-
ty, and her friends in Emporia are
glad to hear of her appointment. She
started for Carlisle from her home in
Lawrence, Monday afternoon.
Brown, the Wichita man, can give
no account of himself. His exit, place
or places of abode, and return to
Wichita are ali as mysterious to him
as to any one else. Wichita must be
allowed the ownership of the cham
pion mystery of Kansas. Lawrence
may lead in ghosts, spooks and haunted
houses, but the windy wonder has a
corner on bona fide gilt-edge mystic
ries. If they ever discover the facts
about Brown, Wichita's glory will de-
part.
Waldo Worster's card announcing
his candidacy for reelection as sher-
iff, appears elsewhere. We think no
one in his party will refuse Mr.. Wors-
ter second term. He has filled the
Office for one term in an efficient and
acceptable manner. We have heard
no one say that he is not good sher-
Tiff or has failed to do his duty. So
well does he stand with the people,
we doubt if any one will contest the
nomination with him.
ID. y. Stahl wants to succeed him
self as county treasury. His card an
nouncing the fact will be found in
the announcement column, which the
NEWS has opened for the accommoda-
tion of all who desire to place their
claims before the public. Mr.. Stahl
is serving his first term also, and is
only observing a well known custom
in asking a reelection. He is too
we'll known in this county to call for
any eulogium from us. He has the
confidence, and of his party, and as a
matter of right, is entitled to re-nom-
inatiOn, which, we take for granted
he will get.
Geo StannaTd the Ottawa bum was
attempting to climb between a couple
of freight cars Friday when he
met with painful accident. The cars
were standing still as he climed be-
tween them, but as he placed his right
foot between the draw heads for foot
ing, the engine pulled up, crushing
his foot very badly. DIR. Jacobs was
called and dressed the bruise. No
bones were broken, but the foot was
lacerated so that he will DO laid up for
some time. The accident happened
about o'clock this morning. Stan
nard was apparently trying to bum a
ride to Ottawa, where he was sent after
the foot was dressed.
