THE KANSAS COUNTY SEAT
LIAR QUIETLY SETTLED.
LIBERAL FINALLY WINS THE FIGHT.
The Contest decided In Her Favor by a
Majority ofI25-The Records Moved
from Springfield without Any
'J'iOodshed, Though tho People
Of tho LATTER place are
Naturally Quito Sore.

Liberal, Kan, Dec. 13.-Seward
county, Kansas, has set an example
that some other Western counties
might do well to initiate, by settling
quietly and pcaccably q county seat
fight that it was feared might cause
serious trouble and possibly bloodshed.
At special election called by IA ma
jority of the board of county commits
sioners aud held December 8, the mat
ter of moving the county seat from
Springfield to Liberal was decided in
favor of Liberal by majority of i25
votes. Two townships including
Springfield decided not to vote, and
the people there had declared they
would never give up the records with
out bloodshed.
They had tried previous to the cleo
ton to enjoin it, claiming an error in
the call Saturday party of thirty
five well-armed men, prepared for
trouble, left Liberal for Springfield to
get the county records. After the
vote was canvassed and an order made
for moving the records to Liberal the
party took possession at once, loaded
them on wagons, which were held in
readiness, and started for Liberal, a
drive of twenty-five miles, reaching
here shortly before midnight. Spring
field people, while feeling very sore
over the removal, made no objections
whatever except County Treasurer
Vessels, who would not allow his books
to be removed He will probably
move them himself in u day or so
without trouble

1.-THE DAY WE CELEBRATE"
(By the President.)


To-day has been designated as Founders Day,
and there are many reasons why this measure
should be peculiarly acceptable to the members.
few days ago occurred the first anniversary of
the death of our late respected warden. Hon. j. J.
Randall. the man who, through good judgment,
permitted this organization to have an existence.
1t is therefore, but mete and fitting that on this
occasion one of our number, in the name of the
society. should pay the tribute due to the founder
of the Pierian circle.
But on this day, which celebrates the second
anniversary Of the Pierian circle we should also
remember the living founder of the great "educa.
tional institution which does not hesitate to send
its teachers to the hut of the pioneer the cell of
the prisoner or the wards of the sick" believe
1 do not err in saying that universally the mem.
bers of the c. L. s. c. feel that in this course of
reading they are indebted to John q. Vincent for
plan which has been of infinite service to them

Meier longed for morning light
To see Thee in Thy beauty,
AS only those can see
Whose eyes have been Amounted
With perfect purity.
o Angel of His Presence!
Thou dear and tender Friend!
Alone, alone without Thee;
If Thou my steps attend,
No loneliness or sorrow
Can bring me to despair;
No place can be all darkness.
If Thou art with me there.
o Angel of His Presence
Who saved thy flock of old:
pray Thee hide me- hide me
Within Thy sheltering fold.
And dearer yet than shelter:
Give me Thyself to know
