The district court adjourned last Sat
urday morning, after fortnight OF
hard work. The Judge and all court
officers were kept exceedingly busy, and
found the session one of hard labor.
Night sessions were held, SO that the
time usually occupied by the attorneys
in looking up law and 10y the clerks In
writing the records had to be supplied
"a the midnight taper, and 1t was n
ma, 'ural sequence that the officers were

The business man who Is constitu-
tionally opposed TO advertising and al
leges that il doesn't pay Is usually ripe
for the confidence man who comes
around soliciting for cards In wall
flower for the hotel, the postollice, de-
pots, barber shops, etc. Sach cards are
seldom readable and very often do not
last longer than Is required for the ia
kcr to get well out Of town. Sucl
schemes are gotten up simply to beat
patrons and amount to nothing moro
than donation to the fake. The same
amount invested in advertising in loca
papers will bring ten fold returns ant
il I'm investment In local cnterpris,
whose benefit to the community is nc
knowledged.
Hon. Ira Il. Shipley of Guthrie coun
ty is finding the political highwa.
fraught with great deal of unpleasant
ness. One day last week he became
engaged in an alteration with Mis-
souri, democrat, l.. l.. Edwards, whil'
in attendance upon u public sale; ho
words were followed by hotter blows
the contestants rolled in u catcl-as
catch-can tussle, but 'Shipley landed 81
top Of the heap, although portion o
his cheek, an ear and u thumb wer
bitten Off Shipley had said that Ed
wards was q rebel bushwhacker, an,
when questioned declined TO rctract. Ed
wards conduct warrants that charaC
| terization. On account of the injurie
sustained Shipley has commenced &C
ton against Edwards In the distriC
court for 5000. An must admire tn
pluck Of Capt. Shipley as shown in tn
fights he has made from the time of hi
first nomination to the present, and
might be mentioned for the good @
any others who .may be thinking o
tackling him, that he always wins.
The business transacted by l.. G. shy
der & Co. has attained proportions nc
fully appreciated by our people. The
are doing a big business in butter an
eggs, but it is small as compared wit
their deals in poultry. They have mad
large additions to the building they oC
cupy on the west side of Washington
street, and have the rooms partitions
into innumerable coops, In addition L
which they have rented the north hal
of Foreman's feed yard and have tina
divided into sheds and pastures, whcr
they herd poultry in regular droyes
They have been slaughtering for tw,
weeks, but have not parceptibly dc
creased the ranks of the living. Eigh
