J.P. Marquand has lately purchased
the Chrisman property here and will soon
move the house to his large ranch east of
town. Verify Ogallah is steadily disaps
pearing, but the boom may change thi-
summer.

interfered with the work of taking up the
trees, so delaying the work that many are
coming in after their trees to meet with
disappointment.
Mr.. Alfred Porter the new forestry fore
man arrived in town Tuesday, with his
family and car of household goods and has
moved into the State house building. He
is the father of commissioner Bartlett's
wife, so reported, and expects the commits
sioner to-day.
We are sorry to see Slasher and O'Flar-
ity drop out of our list of correspondents
and to O'Flarity we say, that we always
try to please our own selves, and get a.
long very well. and keep our conscience
moderately clear, but If we tried to please
everybody, are afraid it wouldn't pan out

It is strange how begrudgingiy, by
some, the soldier receives his little stipend
of pay in the way of pension for part
of his sufferings endured while trying to
save his country which is now recognized
as the first In the world. And again, when
the old soldier sees fit to meet his old
comrades once month and talk over his
trials of the march and the battlefield, to
have him insulted by lot of cowardly
vampires calling themselves editors IL
more than human patience can bear. They
have taken a great deal OF abuse In the
last few years from class Of men who
would like to see the last old soldier gone
to make room for them in public life.
They have been told that the sold soldier
racket" is played out and that the few
dollars they got as pay. paid them for all
they done during the war, until forbear-
ance ceases to be a virtue and henceforth
every man or set of men offering an insult
to the old soldier ought to be relegated to
the rear or trotted away in one heap of
oblivion to remain in Innocuous Desuet-
ude until another day.-GOUe County
Echo.
Changes are going on all around in
the newspaper field. Many of the old
timers are dropping out and new men
taking their places. In the dozen years
the writer has been internationally engaged
in country newspaper work in northwest
Kansas the changes have been many and
varied. Yet there are few who are still
son deck, and working, as of old, with
might and main for the glory of their
town and Kansas. However, they may be
counted almost on the fingers of ones
right hand, even if we take in the whole
of this congressional district as territory.
What changes have come in the last de-
cade! Where the Indian once prowled
the Alliance man now treads with haugh-
ty step. Where the coyote once howled
the union laborist now lifts his voice
Where the prairie dog once barked in
