The Wilson case in the district court

the amount of bonds remaining at
$500, and $500 in the case in the
Justices court, which bonds have not
yet been obtained. We sincerely hope
that ''all things can be made right, !"

farmers here who are involved" will be
anxious to see "all things made right. !"

, E. R. Wells, of the Willard fine
} stock ranch, accompanied by his
father, g. P. Wells, of Lincoln, Kan
? sas, were down last week with some
colts to take hand in the races that
should have come off Saturday after
noon, but that were put off on account
of the rains having made the track too
heavy for trottiDg. It is said the
Wells Bros. have some of the fastest
colts in the county. They will put
them on the track here at some future

"Pluck" is thing much admired
by all Americans, and the lecture on
"Pjuck," delivered by Dr. Miller OF
Kansas City, at the Methodist church
last Tuesday evening, was greatly ap-
preciated by the goodly number Of
people present. The gentleman is one
of the most pleasing speakers we have
ever had the pleasure of listening to-
and his subject was handled in a mas
terly manner. No one who has heard
DR.. Miller once will ever neglect ar
opp ortunity of hearing him again.
Something more than the usua
amount Of comment on the condition
of wheat that one always hears abou
this time of year, is to be heard tn,
last few days on the streets. Sample
of wheat that is certainly in bad shap
are brought in daily, and there is n
doubt but that much of the immens,
crop in this county has been injure,
both by the late frosts, the wet weathe
and small worm that is found locat
ed between the head and the fir.
joint of the stalk which apparent,
saps the life that should 60 to matur
D the grain. 1t is to be hoped that onl,
r small amount of the entire acreag
l is thus injured.
