It seems that at last the Marble
Company is in a fair way to get the
switch which they have been so long
asking from the Southern Kansas.
Mr.. Barnes, Division Superintendent,
was here last Saturday and in eOmpli-
ance with his orders, Mr.. Wells, AS
sistant Engineer, came up Monday
and made a survey for the location of
the switch. The map of this survey
has been sent to Mr.. Robinson, Gen.
/ Manager, and letters from him give
practical assurance that the switch
will be built.
Capt. H. \. Ewing and r. III. Ben
nett have formed a partnership for the
practice of law, the firm to be known
as Ewing & Bennett. Capt. Ewing
has long been known as one of the
strongest attorneys at the Allen eOun-
ty bar, and while Mr.. Bennett has
been here but q short time he has i'm
pressed those who have met him as a
young man of great energy and much
capacity. The new firm will at once
take position in the front rank.
Moran Herald: A new post office
named Funston has just been estab-
lished in the edge of Salem township,
about eight or nine miles southwest of
Moran. Mr.. McCullOm has been ap-
pointed postmaster and the mail will
be supplied from this post Office, Mr..
McCullOm taking it back and forth on
horseback two or three times a week.
1t will be a great convenience to
large scope of country now without
mail facilities, except by going long
distance.
The union memorial services at the
, Opera House Sunday were interesting
as they always are, and were even
more largely attended than usual, a
great many being unable to find even
standing room. The room was beau
tifully decorated, and Mr.. Freed
, preached a splendid sermon, the best,
we heard a great many say, that they
had ever heard on q similar occasion.
The service was impressive and beau
tiful.
Mr.. Dibble's weather report at the
head of these columns shows that the
rainfall for May was IL inches, while
last year it was only inches during
that month. During the ) months of
this year we have had 24i inches Of
rain as compared with 49, inches for
the same period last year. And we
thought that last spring was wet

The prohibition party of Allen coun-
ty held a mass meeting on the court
house steps last Saturday for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to the State
convention. There was q grand total
of four present, and the meeting was
entirely harmonious. We believe that
no delegates were elected.

A ribald jibe from the Humboldt
Union: 1.-THE REGISTER says the riv-
er is eating into the lola Park at a
fearful rate. Better move it up town
and put it in the middle of the city
park. The river never would reach
it there"
