Gone Before.

Maggie MunsOn, the infant daughter
of L. and Mary Munson, died of acute
bronchitis, at O'Clock Monday morn
ing, in this city. She was buried at
O'Clock that evening, Rev. North con-
Quoting the services at the home of the
parents, in the north end of town. A
number of small girls acted as pail
bearers, and carried the little coffin to
the cemetery. The funeral was largely
attended. Maggie was two years and
eighteen days old, and was one of the
prettiest and most robust children in
the city. She had suffered from a long
attack of whOoOping cough, and this
made her an easier victim to bronchitis
She was a pet with everyone who knew
her, and was always smiling. Beauti-
full in life, and even death could not
take her beauty from her. The parents
desire to express gratitude to all who
were so kind to them IN their time of
deep sorrow. A friend of the family
handed us the following:
She is not dead but only sleeping.
Though death is stamped upon her brow
While loving friends are softly weeping
She is with the angels now.
She is not dead but only sleeping;
Free from toll. care and pain.
Safely in the angels keeping
She will never weep again.
She is not dead, but only sleeping;
With the holy and the blest;
She received the welcome greeting,
Now our little ones at rest.

Immigration Matters

w. l.. Gamble, of HaZeltOn, director
for Barber county, returned last Thurs
day from Omaha. where he went with
the state board of immigration and the
directors from other counties, to meet
the Trans Missouri passenger associa-
ton, TO ask fsr immigrant rates from
the railroads. He says that there were
40 delegates present every Kansas
railroad was represented, and, besides,
many eastern roads had representatives
there. ID. a. Woodwork, Of Kansas
City, interested at Kiowa, was also
present for Barber county. The Omaha
board Of trade gave the meeting the use
of their hall, ana everything passed off
most pleasantly.
The Kansans demanded Of the rail-
roads half fare explorers tickets for
immigrants desiring to visit Kansas;
reduced rates on household movable
goods and live stock free transporta-
ton for All agent for every county, to
90 east and work up immigration.
The demands were considered by the
railroad men, and they at once acceded
to the first demand, to give excursion
rates, provided the eastern roads will
cooperate. The other propositions
were taken under consideration, and
committee of seven railroad men ap-
pointed to go east and confer with the
eastern lines. An answer will probably
be given by March 10. The railroads
are as anxious to get people to come
into Kansas as Kansans are to get them
here, and so the answer will probably
be fagOrable,
1t is understood that if the excursions
are granted, there will be twelve in
number, two each month, commencing
April 1st, and continuing until Octo-
Der 1St

| was not notified that Balfe was the
composer selected of whom to speak
this evening.
Michael William Balfe, the Irish com
poser, was born at Dublin, in 1905 His
most celebrated operas are 1.-The Bohe
nian Grip and 'tSatanelle - "The
Rose of Castillo, given in America in
1870 for the first time; Romance. >
Good Might Balfe died IN 1870, past
50 years of age. Very little car be said
of musical composers. except among our
classic authors. No English composer
has yet become classic that is. no one
has yet founded a distinctive school:
and the lives of creative musicians are
chiefly read from desire to learn the
artistic life of the musician. and how
his life was Affected by the art itself.

The County Deposits.

Last Wednesday afternoon, after
hearing the case for two days. Judge
Ellis rendered his decision in the case
in which the First National bank
sought TO restrain the county commits
sioners from again letting the county
made by the former commissioners,
which had about three years to run.
Judge Ellis had issued temporary re-
straining order last month Wednesday
he vacated the order, and left the COM
miSsiOners free to take sucn action as
Chey saw proper about the deposits.
On Thursday. the 18th inst, the COM
missioners met, and notified the two
banks that they would receive bids for
the deposits at once. Mr.. Chandler,
the president, stated that the Citizens
National bank was ready then to put
in its bid. The First National, claim
ing that it already had contract with
the county, declined to put in another
bid. The bid of the Citizens bank was
then opened, read and accepted. That
bank agrees TO pay an annual interest
of five per cent. on average daily bal
ances, and to pay par for all county war
rants that may hereafter be issued. 1t
gave bond for $125, 900, the securities
being residents of this place and of
Kansas City, Mo. The county reserved
the right to terminate the contract at
any time, Judge Ellis, in his opinion,
having stated that the commissioners
could not make a contract for any def
mite periOd-One year or even month.
The commissioners were asked to pass
resolution giving the Citizens bank
sixty days notice before withdrawing
the funds in bulk; but nothing was
done to that effect.
The commissioners then made an or
der directing the treasurer, Mr.. Peck,
to transfer the moneys from the First
National to the Citizens Lank within
three days, and he at once commenced
the transfer, and completed it Satur-
day.
But the matter did not rest at the let
ting of the contract to the Citizens bank
The attorneys of the First National
made up a record of the case, and At
torney Long took it to Topeka OH Fri
day, and on Saturday he applied for and
obtained from the presiding justice of
the supreme court, Judge Horton, an
alternative mandamus, directed to
County Treasurer Peck, commanding
him to remove the deposits from the
Citizens bank, and replace them in the
First National, and to continue to de-
post the county funds III the last nam
ed bank until the merits of the case can
be finally determined in the supreme
court, or show cause, by March 6, 1890,
why he has not Obeyed the writ. This
writ was served on Mr.. Peck, Monday,
by Sheriff Dobson. The treasurer at
once went down to Moore township to
consult with Mr. Stranathan, chairman
to ascertain if the county desired to
continue the fight. 1t is understood
that the treasurer will make answer to
the writ, though his course will not be
entirely determined on until Friday.
Ii he obeys the writ, the money will be
put back in the First National, and the
old contract VIII hold if he makes an
swer, it Will probably be several weeks
before the supreme court will finally de-
termIne the issues involved.
