'boot legG,ing," and otherwise obtain
ing liquor without signing up. The
Republican, whose editors name
seems to have been found on the re-
cords OF the drug store, says Of this
latter GLASS;:
"Go to the depot upon arrival OF
the trains and see who receives 'rot-
gut" by the Jug or keg and then in
vestigate IN what manner it IS used
and you will find that certain parties
dispose Of it in half.pint and pint
bottles to those who consider 1t dis,
grace to Sign up" for what they
drink, in legal manner.
We might also point out, il neces-
sary, indivuals posing as pious christ
ians and who denounce the use of H.
quors in any form, thst have at var
ious times, kept a jug or case Of in
toxicants- ordered by private parties
in their cellars,and a. the same
tune urging innocent citizens to pry
into other peoples affairs"
Thus matters appear to be in bad
state in our neighboring town, though
we hope it may not seriously inter.
fere with the business Of that usually
lively and energetic place, but Of
course such disturbances have their
effect. The proper thing to do, it
would seem, is to have the law strict.
ly enforced, All laws so long as they
are on the statute cooks should be en-
forced to the letter. II they are I'M

to repeal them and not to break or
evade them.

F. A. & l. U Meeting.

The Phillips County f. A. & 1. U
met in Cummings hall in this city
Friday afternoon. After an interest
ing meeting, officers were elected for
the ensuing term as follows: Presi-
dent, w. Q. Adams, Marvin; vice
president, j. I. Dunning, Grow; sec
rotary, A. f. Stevens, Marvin; lee
turer, j. f. Arnold, Phillipsburg; as
sistant lecturer, D. W. Stevens, Mar
vim; chaplain, William Hoagland;
door keeper, John Roach; assistant
doorkeeper, z. F. Burt; executive
council, r. d. Smith, j. T. Erwin and
81. Grub. The attendance was large
Notwithstanding the bad day, and
much interest was manifested.
Mr.. Alonzo WardeIl of Topeka, ma
tional guard of the Aid Degree of. the
Alliance, was present and addressed
the body. His talk was mostly on
the subject of the new Aid Degree,
and the feasibility of establishing it
in each Alliance. He said in part:
"From the earliest histories of diff
ferent orders down to recent dates, as
we'll as by our common sense we are
taught that members do and will re-
gard their orders in a business light.
If the order is only a club, raised for
some special present need, with moth
ing looking to future benefits and
permanence; we must expect mem
bers to look upon it in its true light
aud act accordingly. Such was the
character of the Grange. And after
entirely overcoming for the time the
R. r. powers and accomplishing all
it had undertaken IN other lines; and
having no permanency, it practically
ceased to exist, except in a few states,
notably New York and Pennsylvania,
where benefit similar to the Aid
Degree was attached to the order.
The same has proved true in the brief
time that the Aid Degree has been IN
existence. AT the Madison conven-
ton many Alliances reported that
only Aid members were attending.
And it is quite evident that we can
expect no continuous degree of 10y
atty to an order that practically says
to its members, join us and we will
stand by you in health and good for
tune; but when misfortune or death
comes as it surely will, you must look
elsewhere for this fraternal aid. This
degree supplies this great defect and
raises our order to the fraternal
planei giving it a business basis that
promises to be as enduring as time"
About thirty or thirty five delegates
| were present.

Death of Miss Riste.'

Died, in the city Of Topeka, Sun,
day morning, January 7, Miss Kath.
leen Rste Of this city, Miss Riste
was born ut Toulon, IL, July 2G,
1868 She removed with her parents
to Iowa in 1870, and again to Blue
Springs, Neb,, where her father yet
lives, in 1879
She was educated at Simpson Cen
tenary College, Indianola, Ia, after
which she began teaching in the pub
lie schools Of Nebraska She taught
for four years in the schools Of Wy
more, Neb,, and only resigned last
year on account Of i'll health occas-
stoned by what was thought to be a
slight injury-a fall--recolved some
time ago.
She had lived here since last July
with her mother, who had also come
west on account Of i'll health, contin-
ued TO grow worse until December 81
she went to hospital at Topeka for
treatment, which terminated in her
death Sunday morning at 10 o'clock.
d. H, Bennett left Sunday evening
for Topeka to take charge of the re-
mains and prepare them for burial.
The interment will take place in the
cemetery at Blue Springs. Mrs,
Riste, her mother, and Miss Grace
Riste left on the Monday morning
train for that city to be present at the
funeral services.
Miss Riste was a most estimable
young lady, beloved by all who knew
her, and during her short stay in
Phillipsburg had made many Of the
warmest and truest friends. She was
a member Of the First Presbyterian
church Of Blue Springs, and had
been for years faithful, consistent
Christian. Her traits were truthful
ness in thought and deed, even to a
fault, sympathy for humanity, ever
found on the side Of the oppressed or
frlendless, and unseldshness, her life
being devoted entirely to others
around her. She goes to her long
home to reap the reward of an unset
fish, faithful, truthful, Christ-like life.
The sympathy of the entire commun-
ity goes out to the sorrowing family
and relatives in this place and at her
home in Nebraska.

Land Office Consolidated

The long projected consolidation Of
the Kirwin and Oberlin land offices
and their removal to Oberlin has at
last been effected, and on last Mon
day the President sent to the senate
the names of james N. Fike of Col
by, for register, and Thomas j. Nc
Cue of Norton, for receiver. The
HERALD is sorry to see the land office
removed from Kirwiu, and thinks
Phillips county should have received
one of the appointments, But aside
from this no better nominations could
have been made, as Messrs. Fike and
McCue are gentlemen of the highest
attainments and have long been lead
ers ia their party in this part Of the
state.
The HERALD also understands that
a prominent Phillips county attorney
will get liberal slice of pie" when
the changes in the offices are fully
consumated.
