Eddy Burton, Deceased.

Great Bend, Kansas, Nov. 23d, 1892.
at a regular meeting of Valley Lodge
No. 95, L. o. o. F., held on the above
date, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas-It is with profound regret,
that we hear of the accidental death of
Eddy Burton, the youngest son of E.
w. Burton, who is now resident of
Gunnison City, Colorado. Bro. E. w.
Burton has been an honored member
of Valley Lodge No. 95, from its or
ganization to the present time; and
while a resident of Great Bend was
highly respected by everybody as a citi-
zen and beloved by his brothers as an
Odd Fellow; he was a regular attend
ant at all Lodge meetings never firing
of the work in Friendship, Love and
Truth. Therefore be it,
REsOLvED,-Thatt this lodge deeply
mour the loss to our worthy brother of
his beloved son Eddy. and that these
resolutions be sIraad upon the records
of this lodge, and /. ny sent the par
ents of the deceased, AID that we ex-
tend to the parents of the deceased our
special coincidence in this their great
bereavement. By the committee.

Manners at Home.

The presence of good manners is no
where more needed or more effective
than in the household, and perhaps no.
where more rare. Whenever the famili-
arity exists, there is a tendancy to loos-
en- the check upon selfish conduct which
the presence of strangers involuntarily
produces. Many persons who are kind
and courteous in company, are rude
and careless with those whom they
love best. Emerson says: GOOD man.
ners are made up of petty Sacrifices %
and certainly nothing can more thor
oughly secure the harmony and peace
of the family circle than the habit of
making small sacrifices for one another.
Children thus learn good manners in the
best and most natural way. and habits
thus acquired will never leave them.
Courteousness and kindness will never
lose their power or their charm, while
all spurious limitations of them are to
be despised.

Jerry IL Moderate.

Jerry Simpson said on his arrival in
Washington that the people who voted
democratic tickets this year meant to
beat the republican policy of high pro-
lection.
Jerry then went on to the corollaries
of that proposition. The third party
members, he said, would vote with the
democrats on tariff questions. Elected
by voters who unanimously demand a
radical cut in the tariff, they are bound
to assist the side which favors reduc-
ton.
Senator PETER, the member from the
Kansas Seventh proceeds to say, could
not go back to his people if he voted
with the republicans on the tariff.
Mr.. Simpson is not holding back any
opinions. Mrs. Lease has no terrors
for the man who was marshal of
Medicine Lodge and who kept the
peace if he had to fight for it. He
touched upon Mrs. Leases prospects of
sitting in the senate and said:
"The talk of her for the senate is the
work of the republican papers. They
want to induce her to do something
silly and to make our people ridiculous.
do not think they will succeed. l
think that Mrs. Lease is far too clever
to be led into anything silly"
Mrs. Lease has not borne out Mr..
Simpsons gentle trust in her cleverness,
but otherwise he sized up that situation.
IL fact, Mr.. Simpson talked nothing
but sense in the interviews published
by the eastern papers as having fallen
spontaneously from his lips. He did
not offer even guess about when the
socialist expedient of government loans
will bring the millennium and gave the
impression of conceeding that the con-
stitution of the United States will
stand about as 1t is until he comes be-
fore the voters of the seventh again in
1894.
1t is a great campaign of education
which educates former republican
voters up and the peoples party down
to democratic principles.
Perhaps before Cleveland gets
through his mission nobody will be
found to deny that this is government
of the people, by the people and for the
peOple.-K. q. Star.

Alba Haywood.

The versatile comedian, Alba Hey
wood. who will be at the Grand on the
22d, that stars this season in New
Edgewood Folks" by permission of Sol
Smith Russell and who, by the way, is
making a tremendous success in the
piece is an exceedingly clever artist be-
hind the scenes as we'll as before his
audience. In every performance of
"Edgewood Folks" this talented young
actor handles, from the time he enters
his dressing room in citizens clothes
until he leaves it in citizens clothes,
one hundred and seventeen pieces of
costume besides his make ups for his
face.
He fully sustains FIVE distinct
characters completely burying self liz
each and the rapid changes he assumes
shows the wonderful swiftness and
skill with which he works when not
entertaining his audience. The longest
time given him for complete change
of costume and make up is six minutes
and the shortest time is two minutes.
Any one not accustomed to the dress
ing room art may not fully appreciate
this statement, but those familiar with
it know that the most rigid adherence
to system and routine must be sustained,
any little displacement of an article
would surely cause delay and neces :
sally make hitch in the performances
Mr.. Haywood has never yet missed a
cue in single performance or kept the
stage waiting for a moment.

NEARLY thirteen thousand more
votes were cast in the seventh congress
sional district at the last election than
were cast in 1890. This would indicate
an increase in population of about sixty
thousand. It is now in order for those
who howled about Jerry Simpson driv-
ing people out of the state by state
ments in the east which, were untrue,
to raise and explain the Wilderness" of
the greatest increase in population the

ANOTHER negro was lynched in Kan
sas. The affair happened at Hiawatha
on the night of the 2Sth of November.
"A negro named Commodore True,
rushed into a gathering of negro
Methodists and stabbed to the heart
one OF the congregation. The colored
brothers gathered in mob, broke open
the Jail where True was confined, and
taking him out swung him up to a con-
venient tree and landed 40 bullets into
his carkas. 1t will now be in order for
tie goody- goojy republican press to en-
large upon those southern outrages"
and come to the defense of the colored
criminals.

THAT $4,000 majority puts US in
mind of story we once heard on a
negro fisherman. He had caught a
large catfish, strung it on string and
put it in the water and went on up the
river to look after his other hooks.
After he was gone short time white
man came along with an extremely
small catfish, and finding the big one
on the string, changed fish and started
up the river, met the negro. The negro
admired the fish but said he had a
much larger one and invited the white
man to go and see it. The negro upon
arriving on the scene of the recent
trade took hold of the string and pull
ed the fish to the top. After looking
at the little fellow with much surprise
he said. "Golly, MASSEY, how that fish
am swunk. South Haven Rustler.

The schemiDg and figuring that is
now being done at Topeka is something
terrific. The g. o. p. disappointants
are flocking into the capital FROM every
corner of the state, and every chance for
holding onto some little Office or posi-
ton is being worked by the professional
politicians and lobbyists. The close
ness of the vote in the coming house of
representatives makes the politicians
think that there may be some hope OF
the republicans getting CONTROL of that
branch, organizing it, and contesting
out enough of the peoples party mem
bers to give the e. o. p. a majority on
joint ballot so that they may elect q.
s. senator and state printer. The state
canvassing board commenced it's labors
on Monday, the 2Sth, but will hardly
get through until the evening of the
LIST or I'd inst. Thus far the official
canvass has made no changes excepting
that the Pratt county negro, Cabbell,
who was on the populist ticket for
elector, will probably be counted out
by reason of the county clerks of several
counties returning the vote as cast for
Campbell instead of ''Cabbell." The
deciding of the tie vote on repre-
sentative in Coffey county will settle
the question of which party can organize
the house of representatives. Should
the republicans organize the house and
attempt to contest out some of the
populists representatives, similar
method will be adopted by the senate
and enough republican senators thrown
out to even things up. This is con-
tingency limited at, and one that would
not be very strongly condemned by the
people, should the republicans open
the contest.
