Paul Du Chaillu made the British lion
roar recently by asserting that 1.-The
Vikings, are the direct ancestors OF the
English People" The way the great
English lights jumped upon Paul, and de-
clared his premises utterly at fault,
showed that Englishmen are sensitive
upon this point even if Americans are not.
The prevailing opinion over here seems to
be that there was good deal that was
admirable in the the old Viking courage
and energy, even il their ideas Of personal
rights were somewhat narrow.

Rev. Goodwin Resigns.

Rev. Goodwin, who has been pastor of
the Baptist church in this city for the
past twelve or thirteen months, will
preach his last sermon next Sunday
night. He will probably be here two or
three weeks longer, and as yet is unde-
cided as to where he shall go to labor in
the future. He has had a call from Ellis
and has also been invited to return to
Illinois. Rev. Goodwin has been faith
full and conscientious worker, and has
been the means of doing much good in
this part of God moral vineyard. The
congregation regret his departure, but
their prayers and best wishes will ever
follow him. The Baptist church not on.

4 Painful Accident.

Last Monday DR.. John Martin was
called upon to remove needle from the
foot OF Joe, the little son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. j. Mccullough. The little fellow had
been running about on the carpet bare
footed and it is supposed that the needle
was on the carpet. 1t entered the hollow
of the foot and had already travelled rap
idly toward the toes. The operation of
removing it was quite painful. This
should be warning to mothers not to
throw broken needles on the floor as is
usually done.

enormous in this very valuable article;

AT COLBY.

In company With Chas. Churchill we
made our maiden visit to Colby last Sat
urday. The distance is about twenty
miles. and We made it in two hours and
fifteen minutes behind that mare that
Bro. Gustus is so much in love with. We
have noticed all summer that all the rain
clouds passed north of US and seemed to
hang over Colby. and then turn them
selves loose and We expected nothing
less than to see big one hanging over
her that day and pouring its liquid bless
ings upon the just and upon the un
just" Sure enough. the cloud wasthere
just as We expected. and when within
abou, mile of town out came the plug
and down came the rain. wetting our
Sunday go-to-meeting clothes and remin-
ding US of old times back east.
There seemed to he an unusual COM
motion in town, and after Sizing up
the crowd we came to the conclusion
that this was the day on which the DEM
ocrats of Thomas county held their an
nual bear dance and plug tobacco swap.
We must have looked awful tough our
self, for one of our old friends asked US
if We had come upto attend the demo-
cratic convention. If that's the way We
look we're going to brace up right away.
Our friend, however. jumped at con-
clusion and missed 1t. The result Of the
convention was the usual one in Kansas

and other sOreheads.
Under the Escort of E. p. Hovey. Esq.
we visited the points of interest. includ-
ing the court house. where We met the
pleasant and capable register of deeds.
James C. PASSED. and his worthy deputy.
We came to the conclusion that Colby is
right nice town, and contains many
people possessing the same quality. The
court house is probably good enough IN
til they can afford better one. 5u. to n
person accustomed to So fine one as we
of Logan have, theirs Of Thomas looks
stingy, to say the least However. this
state of affairs will not last always. and
we predict that when Thomas county
does get ready to build she will have one
of the finest court houses in the state

house know that that is saying u great
deal.-MOnument Obelisk.
