kINGMAN BRIEFS,

KINGMAN, Kan, Jan. 12.-[Special. i
During the past four or five days this pOr
tion of Kansas has been blessed with very
fine weather. The snow has about all dis
appeared, and with its going has left the
wheat in fine condition, leaving the ground
soaked full of water, and from present ap-
pearances Kingman county soil will yield
a bOuntiful harvest the coming crop season.
Several of KinRman's leading states
men-from the populist standpoint-are
holding down chairs in Topeka hash
houses this week. Great is the calamity
party; but greater is the number of office
seekers in its ranks.
For the first time in nearly six years the
roads leading into the city, from every di-
rectiOp, are almost impossible. This is
| occasioneG by the heavy snowfalls from
the early days in December up to near
! Christmas day. -Four weeks of good
| sleighing is very remarkable for Southern
| Kansas. but that is about what we had
during the month Of December, 1892, and
January, 1898.
Mrs. Bolles, the new county superin-
| tendent OF this county, was inducted into
| office this week. Just on the eve of being
| installed into Office she received word
! from the department that her claim for
| pension, which has been pending for the
! past two years, was allowed, giving her
! quite snug little sum of money.
On account of the bad roads very little
grain and stock is arriving to market at
| present
| w. NJ, Wallace, Mr.. d. Libby and
| Thomas Russell are in the territory at this
time in search of big game. Wailace's
! greatest desire while on this hunt is to
come face up" with a bear; but he will
| be satisfied with a tusse with panther
1 and h.af 1,
! such an encounter AS he does trial in
court he viii gain the case. Libby will be
satisfied with Il deer, while Russell Will be
content with bagging 100 prairie chickens.
The boys are very modest
Last Saturday night the Grand Army,
Sons OF Veterans and Woman's Relief
Corps gave public installation OF officers
at the Grand Army nall. After the iu-
stallation services were over Il fine lunch
con, prepared by the relief corps, was
served in the hall The old boys clearly
proved the fact that though age is scoring
its marks Oh them their appetlJes are not
| in anywise diminishing.
