ELLINWOOD.

ELLINwooD.
From the Adroceteeo
Rumor has it that Rey. G. W. Howes
was married in Lyons on the 18th inst.
We did not learn the particulars.
| Joe Sprinkler will be the most in
quisitive man in Lakin township during
the next three weeks-he is assessing.
Nearly every man on earth expects
some day, to get to heaven, but isn't it
rather curious to notice how different
the roads are they travel.
"A boy living. south of town whose
name we did not learn, stole horse
from his father and skipped the coun-
try last week and all search for him up
to the present has proven futile.
There is an individual in this city
who says the only excuse he has for
getting drunk is the pleasant sensatio n
it produces on bis head the next morn
ing. His head must be constituted
somewhat on the plan of a rag baby's.
/
souri,, where he has been during the
past eighteen months. He has got mar
| ried since he left here, but is going to
settle down in this city again if he can
find house, which, by the way, are
very scarce.
If one is to judge by the tone of the
editorials of theLeavenworthT Times it
would seem safe to say that Mr.. An
thony would not have to go far until he
becomes an avOwed free trader. He
gave the tariff two black eyes in his
issue of the 18th inst.
| EllinwOod is bothered with s'Jack
the PEPPER. According to accounts
this Individual, whoever he may be, is
rendering himself very odious to the la
dies by peeping through their bedroom
windows at. them while they are un-
dressing, preparatory to retiring for
the night.
Hon. G. p. Smith, wife and son, who
have been here visiting with friends
and relatives in this neighborhood,
returned to their home in Edwards
vile. ILL.,, Friday morning. Mr..
Smith is one of the principal stockhold-
ers in the Citizens bank of this city land
has the utmost confidence in the future
prosperity of our city and county. 1t
is men like Mr.. Smith we like to see
have confidence in our city.
Prohibition will be thing of the
past in Kansas, two years hence. When
we say this, we do not mean that in
two years. beer and whiskey will be at
the disposal of every Individual. No,
we sincerely hope, that with high
license, it can be kept away from the
ten and fifteen year old boys, at least
which it is not under our present pro-
hibition law. Less drinking will be
done after prohibition has been wiped
out than is done now.

From the Dispatch.
| A. L. Peugh and wife returned from
Russell, Kan, Sunday, after an extend
ed visit of six weeks.
Miss Lucy Miller, of Great Bend,
was visiting Misses. Adele and Emma
Wehr the last of the week.
Sam Brandt, proprietor of the
Russell hotel of Russell, Kan, commit
ted suicide by hanging, last Saturday.
j. E. Richardson has bought the
butcher tools, fixtures, etc., formerly
belonging to Stefan s. Boyle, and will
take possession and begin running the
market on Monday morning, March q
The Tribune seems to be distributing
favors promiscously in favoring candi-
dates for congress. A few weeks ago
the paper came out for j. w. Jones
and now it is shouting the praises OF
Hallowell.
The Fourth quarterly convention OF
the Barton Co. Christian Cooperative
society met with the Church of Christ
in Hoisington last Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. The first address was q
sermon py Elder J. NJ. Wickham, OF
Clafiin. The next address was by
Elder J. H. Bauserman, of Topeka;
subject, Apostolic missionary work, %
which was very ably discussed. Bro.
Bauserman' s address Sunday night was
much praised by all who heard it. Bro
Bauserman is a good speaker and his
sermons are full of good points. He
will be with US until after next Sunday.
The next convention will be held at
Great Bend on the second Sunday in
June, lasting three days.
