Mrs. Ben. Harbaugh, who has been
visiting relatives in Kentucky for sever
al weeks, has returned home. Her
brother and sister came out with her,
and will probably remain all summer.
Mrs. w. w. Hull, who has been very
sick for several weeks, was we'll enough
to attend church two weeks ago. She
took relapse, and came near dying,
but again rallied, and is now able to get
around her room.

home at Raleigh, Illinois, where she
will probably remain all summer. Miss

We have letter from S. A. Hayes,
saying he would not advise a Kansan
to go TO Washington. A dollar is as
hard TO get there as here. and he has
beeh chOpping cordwood for his dollars.
He has just put up store, he has the
postollice, and is now doing well, and
has good health. The alliance move
ment is growing there.
S. fl. Glenn, agent of the American
Savings and Investment Association,
of Wichita, is in the city, canYassing
for his company. 1t seems that he has
the best investment plan yet discover
ed, as man gets his money back while
he lives, and has chance to spend it..
1t is not an insurance company, but
strictly a means of giving all with
small means chance to make quick
and big paying investments.

hands again on Friday of this week. A
few months ago Mr.. E. F. Widner took
the office on debt Judge Hall owed
| him. The Office had previously been
mortgaged to parties i'll Kiowa. Mr.,
WIdner expected to make satisfactory
terms for paying the mortgage, but
failed, ana has now turned the office
over to the mortgage. This cuts Mr..
Widner out of $500 or $500 for which he
held judgment.
The county commissioners have been
somewhat criticised for turning Nc
Millen and Mccarthy out of jail, after
they were sent there for violating the
prohibitOry law. The commissioners
were no doubt satisfied that these men
would not again engage in the bust
ness, and that in one case they were
Furnishing the mans family more than
they were the prisoner. The object is
to break up the business; and they did
not want to put the county to
any expense to get revenge.
On last Saturday evening several of
the young men of this city met in rooms
and organized debating and literary
society, to be known as the ''Demosthe-
mes Club" having for its purpose the
advancement of knowledge in parlia-
mentary practice and customs. The

red last night, the time being spent IN
the adoption of constitution and in
the formation of a mock congress. The
club will meet on Tuesday evening of
each week III the S. of V. and G. A. r
