UPPER SALINE VALLEY.

Owing to sickness in the neighborhood I
the school has been somewhat small for
the past two weeks.
G. T. Galloway is busy preparing his
garden. He has some plants almost
large enough to transplant,
s. L. Shorthill is on the sick list but
at this writing is some better. Mr..
Shorthill, like many others of the old
soldiers, is now feeling the effects OF
army and prison life
Will some good alliance brother tell us
what the legislature has done this wtn-
ter? Have they fulfilled their promise
they made last fall? If so in what way2
| Slasher said some weeks since that the
removal of John j. ingalls, had given en-
tire satisfaction in this neighborhood and
and have failed to hear one man say
that it was a good thing, even for a
school district, to say nothing about the
state.
Now if the alliance will just cause it
to rain so we can raise good crops We
will have better times and get better
prices for our stock. for then we can hold
our cattle and feed them, and not be COM
PEELED TO sell them until they are in
shape to bring something. But just as
long as we can't raise crop, we will
have hard times and I don't care what
party is in power. It is always the party
in power that gets the blame for hard
times.
OBITUARY.
Died, Wednesday, March 18th, 1891,
David Orchard. Deceased was born in
Gloucestershire, England and was 20
years, month and days old when he
died. He came to Kansas in 1880 and
has lived in this neighborhood ever since
and was most highly appreciated by
those who knew him best. About year
ago he became afflicted with cancer on
his lip and has been a great sufferer ever
since. Last Wednesday night his suffer-
ings were ended, without kindred hand,
or friendly fingers, to wipe the death dew
from his brow. Rev. Maxon preached
very able funeral sermon and the remains
we're laid to rest in the Wa-Keeney ceme-
terry. Let us remember all the good
there was in our old neighbor and
friend. Now AND THEN.

LADIES' Literary

Last Monday evening the L. NJ. I. Cir
Gle met at the residence of Mrs. Harlan.
All the members were present and three
additional ones were received. enlarging
the Circle to fifteen members.
The Circle is divided in two sections
which alternate each week in furnishing
entertainment.
Their program was varied, the most i'm
portant portion being a debate of the
question, "That it is wicked to brighten
children into obedience" Mrs. Damn led
the affirmative in a most able manner,
but Mrs. Cowick (who is inclined to be
slightly tacetious,) captured two of the
three solemn judges and a goodly
number of her hearers, after which sever
al other ladies joined in general discus.
sion. Mrs. Diebold furnished excellent
instrumental music, consisting of selec.
tons from the Opera "Patience."
The next meeting will be held at the
home of Mrs. Cowick at 7:30 P. NJ. where
the portal will be open to receive new
members.

Obituary.

Samuel King died after brief illness
at the home OF his daughter, in Glencoe
township, March 1891. Mr.. King was
born January 5, 1924. in Rensselaer,
county, eastern New York. IL early child
hood he removed with his parents to
Orleans county, western New York, where
he resided until 1884 when he came to
Kansas to be near his only son, W. F.
King, with whom he was associated in
stock raising, and farming. Mr.. King was
kind hearted, generous and hospitable.
For number of years he had been Il
member of a Baptist church in New York
from which he received letter Of recon-
mendation, TO sister church. He often
expressed his grief for his own short
comings, but with a strong faith in
Christ's ability to save, he could say:
''Just as am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse relieve;
Because Thy promise believe,
Just as / am without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bids't me come to Thee.

Business Mems Literary.


The Business Mems Literary Society
met last Tuesday evening in the county
attorneys Office in the court house with
a good attendance, despite the bad wealth
er. The president being absent, A. D
Crooks presided. Pierce Metz and c. A.
Hoar rendered a solo (together) which
delighted the society. The topic for de-
bate was: Resolved that there should be
an educational qualification for electors"
John 81. March, N. W. Shuler and E, D.
Wheeler sustained the affirmative and
left but little to be said on their side.
Pierce Metz, Schuyler Opp and G. A. Hoar
defended their negative with much skill
and ability. The decision was two in
favor Of the affirmative and one in favor
of the negative. The program committee
has varied the exercises and in two weeks
we will have an Grafton, a paper and
some vocal music in addition to the reg
ular debate. w. E. Saum was critic of
the evening and made some good sugges-
tons.
The question for debate next week is:
Resolved that the signs of the times in
dictate the dissolution of the Republican
party" When we consider that such
bourbons as Monroe, March and Cosby
take the affirmative and such stalwarts as
Shuler and Saum defend, you can imag-
inc that there will be time.

Obituary

The following notice and verses taken
from Washington paper were handed
us for publication.
"Willlam Chapman who we announced
last week as being very i'll, died Saturday
morning at a. m. The funeral services
were held in the q. B. church Sunday
morning at II o'clock conducted by Rev.
Shrout, and the body laid in its final
resting place in the cemetery. William
was young man Of twenty three years,
honest and upright in all the walks Of
life and true christian. His father fail
ed to reach here from Kansas, before the
burial on account of the snow blocade in
that state. The bereaved relatives have
the deep sympathy Of the entire commun-
ity.
The following lines on the death of
Willie Chapman were written by Mrs.
Sarah Marquis:
Willie now has gone and left Us
And we ne'er shall see him more
Till we meet him by the river
On that bright celestial shore.
No more will we hear his footsteps,
Stlled now is that gentle voice,
But he died with trust in Jesus,
One whom he had made his choice.
Let us one and all who knew him,
Strive to meet him by and by,
Where our joys will be immortal
And where pleasures never die.
Then there'lI be no more sad hesrtaches,
And our tears shall all be dried,
When we meet again with Willie
Safe home on the other side.
May We profit by this warning,
And when God shall call rs home,
Answer quickly like this dear one:
81 am ready Lord, to come"
Dearest friends, then cease to sorrow;
God has only called his own
And we soon shall meet up yonder.
Let US say, Thy will be done"

Breaking into the Alliance, thro' tbs
citizens movement, and running for of.

chances OF nomination are very uncertain
for the farmers are very shy of politicians

a lot OF fellows who are trying to vori
the game, but some Of them are sure TO
get left" -

To say that We have been amused
several times since our last publication
would do no violence to the truth. There
are some individuals, so enthusiastically
small, considered mentally, and who at
the same time have such an exalted
opinion of their own importance as to
think-yes actually think that if they
stop their paper it must necessarily sus-
pend pu5licetion-go out of business
linger perhaps for time but eventually
die. We have met one OF two Of this
epecies within the past week and have
beer greatly pleased kherest.

A Member of the Alliance Gives
His Views.

WA-KEENEY, KANSAS, March Is, 1891.
EDITORS OF WORLD: I consider it my
duty as member of the Alliance to re-
quest the publication of few lines on a
subject of local interest. I have been
creditbly informed that few members
of the Alliance have instituted fight
against the editors of this paper for pub
fishing reports and a sort of Doggerel,
that cast reflections on Ben. G. Rich,
Chief Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives and a member of the sub-Alliance
in this county. While shall not attempt
to defend or condemn Mr.. Rich until /
know the facts in the case, I wish simply
to caution our brothers against placing
the Alliance in position as endorsing
the mistakes or supposed mistakes or in
discretions of the members. am con-
WINGED that at least ninety per. cent OF the
Alliance men in this county, including all
or nearly all of the officers and sub-Alli-
ances look at this as do, and would join
in protest against being placed In that
position. We are willing and ready to de-
fend any brother that is wrongfully accus-
ed, or to contend for our principles, and
desire to be worthy of the confidence OF
all men who are interested in the welfare
of the people of this country and in the
country itself. 1t is not my place to
make excuses for the paper, and 1 would
not for moment question mans right
to stop his paper, and am free to confess
that wish we had paper of our own
and we're able to support it. In conclu-
sion I will say, let us avoid fight that is
not made in defence of our principles.
Let us hope that Brother Rich will be
able to fully vindicate himself and render
as valuable service in the future, as In the
past, and that peace and harmony may
prevail in the Alliance.
Respectfully submitted for considsra-
