We never keep good story on &C
count of friendships sake although we
sometimes conceal the identity of the
heavy actor in the play. In this in
stance we will refer to the hero as Mr..
Blank for the principal reason that
Blank is not his name and for the further
reason that We have noticed that story
writers often do the same, not at all
for the purpose of intimating his political
or even social position in this community.
Mr.. Blank, of Wa-Keeney, was passen-
on the west bound train, last Saturday
morning on his way home from some
point down the road and, portion of the
way, occupied a seat next to most cap
tivating and charming young lady. These
descriptive words should be III quotations
for We tell the story as he told us-confi-
dentially. 1t was the most natural thing
in the world for Mr.. Blank, who by the
way is known to be something of ladies
man at home, to engage the young lady
in conversation. She informed him that
she had lived in western Kansas, but
more recently had resided in Washing
ton, D. G. They talked about the capital,
the weather, the crops, science and litera-
ture and even the cholera, but not a word
about politics. Time, as we'll as distance,
was rapidly annihilated and the colored
porter called out Hays City" This di-
verted the conversation and the young
lady made some inquiries concerning Fl.
Hays reservation. Mr.. Blank explained
the condition of affairs and informed his
listener that the state would establish q
soldiers home on the reservation il the
government would cede the land. That
our congressman, Baker, had attempted,
for several months, to get bill before
congress granting this reservation to the
state, but that he did not know enough
to introduce the bill. That if be had not
been ct Jump, an ignoramus and a nonen-
tity the matter would have been settled
long ago-and warming up to the subject
he made several remarks that could not
be considered eulogistic of MIR. Bakers
craftsmanship. In fact total and entire
lack of reverence was displayed for the
abilities of our N. c.. When train reach,
ed Wa-Keeney, the young lsdy's destina-
ton also. Mr.. Blank was surprised to OBJ
serve her and Congressman Baker
60 up town together and the truth
in its awful reality then, and only then,
dawned upon his mind that he had been
talking to the daughter Of Mr.. Baker.
Notification and ciagrin are words in
adequate to express the feelings OF Mr..
Blank, Of Wa-Kseney. He had flattered
himself that he had made IN impression
and nov he il certain Of Il No, he did
not attend Mr.. BakeRs meeting that If
tsrnoon-he was entirely too busy Cor
that.

1.-Two souls with but q single
thought from McCracken-wera mar.
ried in this city, last Sunday evening
The following morning the bridegroom
called upon the county attorney, related
his tale of woe. and demanded warrant
for the apprehension of certain parties in
his neighbood. 1t appears that young
man, in Ness County, whom We will des.
ignate as the party of the first part, had
sent the bride elect money to pay her
railroad fare from Virginia to Kansas,
the consideration therefor being matri.
mony upon arrival. After coming here,
the young woman saw another fellow
whom she liked better and, regardless of
the agreement made with the first party,
and whose hard earned cash alone made
1t possible for her to be here, she came
to Wa-Keeney with the second party as
above stated. The first party came also,
with several Of his friends, and was de-
termined to have his money back or the
woman-money preferred. When the
wedding ceremony was being performed
tue doors were locked and the windows
barred for fear that first party might
duplicate the role OF Young Loohinvar
and boldly carry away the blushine
bride. Bat the ceremony proceeded
without interruption. The groom stated
that first party had made threats and had
said, several days before, that he would
kill the woman it she did not live up TO
her agreement. It appearing that these
threats we're all made in Ness County.
the bridegroom was informed that Treco
County would have no jurisdiction. We
feel sorry for the first party who Lost hie
money, but our deepest sympathy Il With
the second party who dill not lose the
woman. The moral Of the affair seems 70
be apparent. Don't pay on that sost Of
merchandiss except on delivery.

ABOUT THE BURLINGTON TROUBLE.


An Effort Made Last Night to Bur-
glarize two Houses.
W. G. Creel, who is thought to be
implicated in the murder of Mr.. J..
+. Matthews, at Burlington, was ar
rested in Chapel Hill yesterday and
carried TO Burlington. This makes
the second arrest. He has been liy
ing in Burlington for several months
and was there on the night of thu.
murder, but left on the midnight
train, about ten minutes after the
shooting occurred. He was {
seen by the conductor, so it is sup
posed that he stole his ride. 1t is
thought that he knows a great deal
about that unfortunate affair Satur
day night, and will finally give the
whole thing away.
There must be a regularly organic
Ell band of burglars in aud around
Burlington. and they do not seem tie
least daunted by the occurrence Sat.
urday night for they keep right on
with their meanness. Early last
night efforts were made to eaUer the
residences Of Mrs. Margaret Tarp e.
and Mr.. Monroe Sullivan in the
western part of the city, but the bur
glars were discovered, and were fired
upon At Mr.. Suilivan's. There were
two Of them and they were plainly
seen as they ran off. A posse Of regu
lar organized vigilants patrolled TIT
streets all night and every effort was
made to capture the marauders.

In taking up this work I fee
that it would be we'll to remind
the people of the State that the
Board of Health was created for
their benefit-for the purpose OF
acquiring and distributing as
thoroughly as possible, informa-
tion and instruction as to the
best means of preventing dis
ease. Any citizen of the State
therefore desiring such infor-
nation would confer a favor by
writing to the Secretary, who
would cheerfully answer his IN
quiries.
The subject of pre-eminent
interest at present is the epidem
ic of cholera threatening our
country, The board has watch
ed the indications with sleep
less eye, and has given the SUBJ
ject the most thoughtful consi-
deration, but has not deemed
the danger imminent enough at
any time to justify publications
which would probably excite
and alarm unnecessary many of
our people. The dangeris daily
growing less, and the board does
not anticipate any trouble du-
ring the coming winter, but
fears TIE awakening in warm
weather of the germs which
may slip into the country du
ring the cold weather, when the
of the health officers
at our ports is liable to be re
laxed. Should its fears be justl-
fed, thepeople may rest satisfied
that it illexhaust every means
its power to keep it out
Of our State. From time to time
the secretary proposes to pub
lish in all the papers in the
State kind enough to print them,
short practical articles on mat
ters relating to the preservation
Of health. In the meantime, If
you need information or advice
on such subjects, write to
