From Ellis Review-Headlight

The council has passed an ordinance
ordering the billiard halls closed on
Sunday. It would be good thing for
the town If all the dives in town were
closed on that day.-Our city jail seems
to he no good. 1t has been suggested
chat the officers picket the prisoners ont
On The prairie hereafter. They would be
more ant to find them in the morning.

The Leoti Standard issues an extra
nearly every week. The Standard always
has been in the front rank and under

a violent presumption to say that it will
continue to occupy position very close

Senator Plumb says he is satisfied
and experience has proved that the great
agency in molding and enlightening pub
lie sentiment is the country weekly. He
also truthfully says that the papers in
Kansas are better than in any other state.
Plumb used to be an editor himself and
knows how it is. He says he has always
loved the profession and it has always
been his hope to some day return to it,

Married, Thursday night, July End,
1891 in this city by Rev. F. L. Walker,
L. M. Egan, of Cove City, and Miss
Verna Stone, of Grinnell, Kansas. Mrs.
Egan nee Stone made homestead entry
for tract of land in Cove county on the
same day of the wedding, thus demon
strating the old saying, "Love is blind"
does not always hold good. We con-
graduate Mr.. Egan.

Inquiry of farmers from every part
of the county Saturday enables us to
state that thus far the wheat in Lane
county is all right and will make the
largest average yield ever had in the
county. There are two or three pieces
in which worms are found and are doing
considerable damage. It is smooth
wheat and as very small per cent. of
the acreage is of this variety the damage
cannot be very large.-Dighton ss1ouynal.

Upon the retirement of Mrs. 8. NJ.
Hutzel from the position of receivers
chief clerk, we deem it but simple act
of justice to give more than a mere pass
ing notice, and at the same time will
answer, partially at least, the oft-repeated
question, "What can woman do" Mrs.
Hutzel has held her very important, and
at times, very arduous, position for more
than six years, portion of which time
the work was hard and the responsibility
very great-thousands of dollars being
taken in every day for months. Mrs.
Hutzel was virtually receiver and handled
and accounted for hundreds of thousands
of dollars without, we believe, single
mistaken blunder, besides doing most of
the clerical work incident to that Office.
Her accuracy and familiarity with the
work required were certainly remarkable
and but few could have accomplished
the work she did. Another remark
able thing and worthy of special mention
was her uniform kindness and urbanity
under the most trying circumstances.
During practice of six years before the
Office we never knew of single instance
where her patience and forbearance were
sufficiently tried to call forth an impatient
remark. and thousands of settlers in this
land district will bear cheerful testi-
mony to tue truth of this statement.
Many silent, God bless that woman
has gone up from the hearts of our moor
settlers on account of kindness and fayors
shown, and which were rendered doubly
dear by reason of the severe contrast
with the manners of other officials and
clerks; for it is matter of history that
there was a time when the atmosphere of
the land Office was decidedly frigid; when
apparently, the chief mission of the
officials and employees was to manifest
their superiority and contempt for those
who were trying to obtain home for
themselves and families. Human for
bearance. it is said, has its limit in all
cases, but with Mrs. Hutzel, in dealing
with the public, we have never seen the
limit reached. For months we have seen
the land Office crowded every day and the
Work entirely too much for the force en-
pioyed, but she always found time to
speak kindly and smooth the way for
those In trouble who were seeking inform
alton. She has earned the respect and
gratitude Of everybody who ever had
business before the Wa-Keeney land

"A hasty trip east the first of the week

There is no better place to spend the

pretty near striking the bedrock of truth
