Relolutions, Hsp Thonss Pod, g. A. r.
WHEREAS, the great creator Of the
universe and dispenser of all things, to
whose edicts we most reverently bow:
recognizing that all men are subject to
the dispensation of His divine will,
and believing that He has seen fit to
remove from our midst Comrade NJ r.
Bell, reminding us Of the slender ten
ure and brittle thread of life as well as
the frailty of all human affairs, there
fore be it
Resolved. By this post, that we pro-
foundly regret the loss of comrade Bell,
who was one of the honored members
OF this post and one to whose life we
can point with just pride in the light of
a worthy example as a citizen and
soldier, and that we realize the fact
that in the taking away of Comrade
Bell this post has lost an honored MEM
Der. the community worthy citizen,
and his family kind and indulgent
husband and father.
Comrade Bell was a member of the
10th army corps whose proud record and
| gallant achievements in so MANY con-
| f1icts in the late war have so conspicu-
GUS place in the history of this coun-
try as well as in the hearts of the peo-
pie. AS soldier Comrade Bell enlisted
early in the service of the late war with
the true spirit of patriotism and the
love of the old flag, his country and his
country's cause, and was mustered out
with good name and high record in
the military circle in which he was
known. Comrade Bell had conducted
himself during the long and eventful
military life so gallant and brave as
well as respectful to his superior off,
GERS, and kind to his subordinates that
Won for him the good name he so Justly
bore as soldier, therefore be it
RESOLVED, By the post, that we mourn
the loss of Comrade Bell, and that these
headquarters be draped in mourning
the usual period of time, and that these
resolutions be spread upon the minutes
of this post and a copy of them be pre-
scented to his widow, and be printed in
the Great Bend papers.

Who are the Antocrats7

AS an evidence of just what the
Kansas legislature is doing for (?) the
farming class-the predominant class
in Kansas-the following, which is the
first paragraph of the Topeka news in
the Hutchinson Ne,cs of the Goth inst,
will indicate:
''The senate was the recipient of a
strong set of resolutions recently
adopted by the farmers alliance, which
were sent in the form of a petition
protesting against nearly every subject
OF legislation before this legislature.
In fact the alliance assumes the posi-
ton of an autOcrat."
A large number of farmers meet and
draw up a set of resolutions to indicate
to the lawmakers what is needed most
by the farmers of Kansas; they send
these resolutions in for the considera-
ton of the said lawmakers. The re-
suit is, the presumptuous farmers are
looked upon as a set of would-be
s'autocrats'' and their petitions and
resolutions probably cast aside as SO
much rubbish. Thus do we see the
beginning of the end. Kansas agricul-
turalists win not have cause to be very
proud or jubilant over anything the
present legislature viii do for their
good.

IT is probable that the legislature
will provide for the establishment of
an immense salt block at this point to
be worked by convict labor. The pro-
duct of this plant coming in conflict
with the product of plants where labor
costs money will be enabled to under
sell the latter and as a consequence
cause lower wages and less develope-
ment in outside sources. Our laboring
men however will continue to kiss the
hand that smites them and from now
on to eternity vote the republican
ticket Hutchinson Democrat.
IT is said that an Illinois justice has
decided that counting is public ne
cessity and must not be interrupted,
therefore if a young man wanted to
kiss a girl he might put her father
out of the room first, if he liked to-.
This is sensible decision and shows
that the courts are beginning to learn
something. A young man don't want
to kiss girl in the presence of her
father, AS rule, and if the old man
will hang around where he is not
wanted he should be bounced. No one
will question the wisdom of this Illinois
court.
