James Miller will work for Henry Will
liams the coming year.
That is good move, the call of the county
alliance. Now let us all attend.
Henri Williams is feeding three carloads
Of cattle with which he intends to ease the
provision market.
Wheat that was sown late is sprouted and
unless the dry weather continues to long,
will come out all right.
Thatwas high time they had at Topeka.
We suppose our Fred was in it. Now let
John W. Breidenthal be made senator. He
is the man.
Mr.. Al Renolds who left this county two
years go has returned from Iowa. Al will
settle on his land in the spring and may be
found at the old stand.
Mr.. Arthur Johnston who has been sick
for the last month is very low. Also Nicholas
johnson is very low with rheumatism. They

A Cuttlng ScraDe.

On Sunday night, Jerome Fitzgerald and
Cliff. Brown while in state of partial in
texicationI created a disturbance in the
south part of town, and upon the appeal of
q frightened woman S. A. Green, sh oema
ker living near, responded to the call for as
sistance to dispense these nightly marauders.
Mr.. Green is an old man but of stalwart
frame and courageous. These drunken men
assaulted the old man and slashed him with
= knife. Fitzgerald was the one who did
the cutting. Therupon Green dealt him =
blow that staggered him rod and laid him
sprawling. They then clinched and Green
downed hi ., man. Brown then came to the
assist ance Of his pal and as fast as Green
got him nder would tuIn him on top. The
ARRAY lasted some time and finally the two
rufians went eff leaving the old man bleed
ing from several slashes and boosted of their
exploit. Mr.. Green is a quiet, orderly man
and good citizen, while tn csc marauders
bear an unenviable reputation. They were
both arrested on Monday for assault with
intent to kill. The preliminary trial was
held in the court house, Monday p. m. be-
fore F. A. Albee, Justice of the Peace. The
prisoners were both bound over to the dist
riot court, Brown in the sum of ST. 900 and
Fitzgerald in the sum of 81 800, and the lat
ter failing to secure bail was committed to
jail. The cutting of Green was serious, the
doctor who dressed his wounds testifying
that had the cuts been one-fOurth inch deep
er in one place, or farther in another either
wound would have proved fatal. It is high
time that such violators of the law were
taught lesson.

Hark what is this salutes mine ear?
What pleasant sound is this hear?
Which vibrates on the air so clear,
In tones of sweetest melody.
The various sounds that through the day,
Have all their charms in their own way.
But each one sounds It's pleasant lay
With old familiarity.
The whistle of the passing train,
The early song birds sweet refrain,
The watch dogs bark, time and again,
Are heard with regularity.
And human voices, more, than these,
Have potent charms the ear to please,
Which daily borne upon the breeze
Are tidings of fraternity.
But this new sound just have heard
Cannot, by either pen or word,
Express the emotions that are stirred
Upon the chords of memory.
Back to my childhood's happy home,
The thoughts that long slumbered, come,
And in my heart find pleasant room
As vivid as reality.
The old school house where A, B, c.,
Was such pleasant task to me,
In memory can fondly see
AS though 1t were but yesterday.
Again my childhood mates I greet,
Again hear their voices sweet,
And many other friends I meet
With old time cordially.
The next scene is in manhood's pride,
When first wed my bonnie bride,
And changes sad and gay besides,
That filed my cup of destiny.
Then as I think of all these years,
Frought with hopes and doubts AID fears,
Mine eyes fill with unbidden tears,
Which long have been a rarity.
My childhood mates of that old time
Are scattered far in many cline,
And many of my manhood's prime
Have passed into eternity.
Then as this music rolls along,
It's tones ring out the same old song,
And sings, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Which tunes my heart in sympathy.
Then may the tidings it shall tell
Be to the children, sail is WE'LL"
And long may Edson's new school bell
Ring out its notes most cherily.

Edison Echoes.
From our regular correspondent.
Shippers are again complaining Of the
scarcity of ears.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. C.. Stewart left Edison on
Sunday for a visit with the ''old folks at
home"
Rev. Pittman came up from Almena last
Saturday and preached in the evening and
on Sunday.
Mrs. Lutte Bennett was agreeably surprised
last Saturday night by her sister of Denver
walking in on her.
The father-in-law of Grant Matthews re-
turned to Mead, Neb., last week, but intends
to be back in the early spring, as he bought
I farm while here.
Edison is strictly in it on this immigration
scheme, for real estate transfers are taking
place almost every day, and we are all alive
to the benefits it will bring to this part of
sunny Kansas.
We have noticed on several occasions
lately that Mr.. Harris was looking uncomon-
ly sober and rather disconsolate. Last Sat-
urday we inquired of one of his near neigh
bors if he had noticed it. ''Why, yes," he
answered. Sand you would act the same
way if your wife was gone" Then we were
infor med that Mrs. Harris had gone east to
Chicago to visit a sick daughter She has
been gone nearly three weeks.
Lutte Bennett has rented his farm and it is
whispered on the breeze that he will put in
an implement establishment in the spring.
If this be true, we say, hurrah for Lutte, or
any other man who will help boom Edison.
Here is a good point for a blacksmith also,

is hot, and its hot now and getting hotter.
