Lane county, are visiting their brother,
James Deal, who is lying quite low with
consumption at his home on East Kan
sas Avenue. Mr.. and Mrs. Deal will

expect to go to Illinois to make their
future home.
James Wharry, of Ashland, Kansas
writes us to help him find his runaway
son. The boy is 16 years old; was rid
ing buckskin horse, branded l III | on
lett hip; boy was travelling under the
assumed name of Fred johnson; last

formation thankfully received.
DR.. Clark, of Kansas City, preached a
Baptist missionary sermon at the court
house last Sunday. Considering the
lain, there was good crowd present.
and they heard an eloquent, vigorous
and instructive sermon. Those who
most object to foreign missions are the
ones who do the least for home mis-
SiOnS.
The INDEX has received an invita-
ton to attend the wedding of Miss Win
ME Weber and Mr.. Wash. Limerick.
which will occur this, Wednesday even
ing, April I'D, at o'clock, at the NJ l..
+. church. at Galatla, Illinois. Miss
Weber is one of our girls, and about
two months ago returned to Illinois on
visit to relatives, and we suppose an
old love affair was famed into a flame.
and this wedding is the result. The
INDEX joins her host of friends in this
city in wishing for the couple realiza-
ton of their fOndest hopes.
Last week the INDEX and the Cres-
set submitted bids for the county print
ing for the ensuing year. Both bids
were the same, and were TO the effect
that the county advertising would be
published the full legal number of times
III both papers for one legal rate. This
is the way the printing has always been
done here up to the last year, when the
Cresset did the work at price which
must have caused loss of several hum
dred dollars. This year the Cresset was
tired of that kind of contract, and the
INDEX is too old to work for nothing.
We got together and talked the matter
oyer, and agreed that the county was
paying everybody else full legal rates
for all the work done, it had as we'll pay
the printer one legal rate for doing the
work tacice. Besides this, it takes all
the material in both offices to
DC the work on the tax list and the de-
linquent land sales. There are many
people who read the INDEX who will
not permit the Cresset to come into
their houses; and there are others who
read the Cresset who will not touch the
INDEX Except on the sly and they all
want to see the official matters of the
county. Both papers publishing these
matters would give all persons what
they wanted, without forcing them to
read the ''vile opposition Sheet and
the county would only pay one rate for
the work. We believe it Is right to thus
divide the work, and not expect the
printers to come in and do the work for
nothing, in order to spite each other.
we put in our bids from business point
OF view. When there is any free politi-
cal work to be done, which happens
every week in the year, the INDEX
stands up to the rack and takes it's
"roughness;" but when there is any
pay work to be done we should not
be expected to do it at loss, and then
declare dividends on our stock.
