man.
John RAIDER was appointed treasurer
of the city school board to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Hon. F.
A. Steckel. Mr.. RAIDER is as good a
choice as could have been made.
We are informed of the marriage of
our genial friend E. L. Bolin to young
lady of the east. They arrived home
some time last week to the astonishment
of the entire south side, who had come
to consider Ed. as one of the 'invinci-
ble.''

Marion contemplates starting another
paper at this place. If the gentleman
is fond of working for nothing he will
find this splendid location. If he is
really in earnest we will sell our
plant to him at actual cost, rather than
have both papers starve out entirely.
We are in earnest about this.
DIED-At her home near this city on
the evening of Tuesday February ID, of
obstruction of the bowels, Miss Pauline
Lischesky, in the 25th year of her life.
Her death was an unexpected and sud-
den blow to her relatives and friends
and to the community. Only few days
ago she was as healthy as anybody, but
death in his swift course brooks no op.
position, and she like millions of others
fell victim to bis relentless ravages.
Mr.. D. Hall, the able secretary of
the Ellinwood Creamery, received let
ter from Wells Richardson's salesman,
Ed. Sunderdorf, stating that the two
tubs of butter sent him by our cream
cry. to the National Dairymen's Con-
vention, had both scored among the
highest in their class. This gives Ellin-
wood good share of the prizes offered.
There were 358 entries, and the fact
that our creamery's products ranked
among the foremost not only gives our
creamery and its management good
name but gives our section of country
its well deserved standing as one of the
best butter producing sections in the
world, as most of the competition was
from sections of the country where COWS
had been fed On tame grass, while in
this section they are fed on prairie hay
and straw.
