1870. Yourself and Lady o respect

John Walters, John l.. Brown, L. X
Naylor.n That was % years ago last
Wednesday. Rather remarkable that
of the men whose names appear on

one, John l.. Brown. The invitation
was printed at the office of the "Nco-
sho Valley Register"
On last Friday night the operator
at the Southern Kansas depot was
showing Night Police, McNutt, how
his revolver worked, when the weap-
on was accidentally discharged the
bullet going through McNutt's foot
Just i'm front of the in tep. The wound
is a painful one and will be slow to
heal, but is not likely to cause any
permanent disability. Fortunately
for Mr.. McNutt he had, only a night
or two previously, joined the new fra
ternal accident society, and he will
therefore draw 81 90 day benefit
during the period of his disability.
r. Il. Anderson is filling his place as
night police.
Humboldt Union:-On Monday last
shocking accident happened in
Salem township. Mrs. Nelson's boys
were blowing and had been burning
some rubbish at one end of the field.
While at the other end of the field
their little sister, who had been play
ing near by, accidentally got her
clothing on fire and was horribly
burned about the lower limbs before
the flames were extinguished. DIR.
Wilson, of this city, was summoned
and rendered all the aid possible, but
Wednesday he reported the little girl
as unconscious, with little hopes of
her recovery.
Married. at the NJ E. parsonage in this city
on December 20 1893, by Rev A. s. Freed Mr..
Charles G. Ausherman, and Miss Sarah Proctor
both of lola, Kansas The groom is the sheriff
of Mrs Freed. Both parties are highly respect
ed in lola where they have lived for number
of years-Cofcyritle Journal, Thursday Dec u,
1885.
1t was hardly fair for Mr.. and Mrs.
Ausherman to run off that way and
get married without telling anybody
about it; and they ought to be made
to sOlemnly promise they will never
do it again. Aside from this little
grudge however, all their friends on
both sides of the house, are glad of
their mutual good fortune and tender
heartiest congratulations and good
wishes.
Little Troy Slower is not in favor of
equal suffrage. "Just to show you
how girls do things" he said the
other day; "we have in our school
mock Senate and We elected little
Miss - President of the Senate.
Whenever any of us would offer res
olution or wanted to get law passed
here is the way she would do: The
other day l got up and offered resO-
luton that we abolish whispering
and without putting it to a vote che
Just said: it's go!' Now I'd like to
know if that girl ought to vote"
Inasmuch as lola has no appliances
for fighting fire, the business men
owning property around the square
have decided to employ at their own
expense an extra night watch. Dan
iel Gregg is the man employed, and
his duty is to patrol the business part
of town all night and every night,
and keep his eye peeled" for the first
signs of fire, and for burglars and all
other evil doors. 1t is hoped that
this addition to the regular force will
save our town from its regular winter
visitation of destructive fire.
When on a visit to Iowa, Mr.. X.
Dalton. oil Luray, Russell county,

berlain's Cough Remedy, it having

his praise for the remedy. For sale

Young people of this city were mar
ried yesterday by Rev. w. G. Porter
at their home on the east side. The
groom is an employee of the GoOdlan-

Union:-A young man walked into
Humboldt from Salem township, a
distance of eight miles, one evening
last week, to borrow pair of catcher's
gloves, as they were going to have a
game of base ball. He failed to get
the gloves and had to foot it home
again, having his 16 mile walk for
nothing. We fail to see the sport in
winter base ball.
