JOTTINGS BY "OBSERVER."
W. H. JONES.

Capt. John Thomas is getting along
splendid with his company Of young
ladies. He will be prepared to furnish
Wichita with something out Of the or
der of amusements on the evening of
July 4th.
1t has been the custom Of the better
class Of our people Of Wichita to have a
grand sunday school every Sunday, re-
gardlesS of the weather. This time Of
course, to which | refer to is dated
away back when the city was booming;
when money was as plentiful as the
grass-hoppers, but since the city began
to decline, it seems as though the p9O-
pie have allowed the sunday schools to
decline also. There is not half the in
tcrest manifested in the sunday schools
as should be. | cannot attribute the
cause to any person but the parents.
1t is on rare occasions the young men
will attend the sunday schools nova
days. 1t is not on rare occasions you
can see young boys from six to fifteen
years old armed with fishing poles, an
Gle worms and an equal amount of pro-
family making rapid strides through
our streets on the sabbath bound for
the little river to spend the day fishing,
killing young birds, frogs and making
the sabbath day hideous by their yells,
and boisterous conduct. | think the
parents could abate this nuisance by be-
ing more rigid with their children. If a
mother wants her son or daughter to
become shining light in the world, or
to be devout christian, there is not
better place on earth than the sunday
school. How grand it would be to have
our sunday schools crowded every sun
day with young children. Parents fix
up your children the best you can and
not send them, but bring them to the
sunday school.

Having business near the 18th St.

work in the back part of the building,
hearing a strange voice, came for

things were kept more in order than

those in firehOuse No. 3. The boys
surely understand their business,
everything in the house is kept as
neat and clean as a pin. The horses,

and seem as proud Of their position
as the boys are of theirs. | was at

man showed and explained every
thing to me; Of course | wanted to
know all about the fire business. 1t
has been a long time since | have
spent assinteresting two hours Thur
man says they have made three runs
since they have taken the house, one
to real fire, the other two were trial
runs. The colored people may well
be proud Of having secured this fire
house, and should be very grateful
to Mayor Cox, the city council and
the fire chief, Bert Walden, for haV
ing two Of their number in charge Of

No cOlore0 man should so far forget

in politics. Men who as rule will
agree to everything the white brother

MYSTERIOUS (:
A Stranger Drops Dead in Fulton
County.

About two weeks ago a stranger
came to the home of Sam Reed, four
miles west of Delta, claiming to be
Mrs. Reeds uncle and that he was in
search Of her; that her uncle in Color
ado had recently died and left her
considerable property. He also pro-
fessed to be a minister, and Sunday
morning Reed took him to the Dun
ker church, where he was introduced
and urged, to preach. He entered the
rostrum and began very eloquent
sermon, when he was suddenly seized
with q spasm and fell to the floor
Reed harbored him until Wednes-
day, when they started him on. He
was refused assistance all day Thurs
day, until in the evening he came to
widow Green's north of Delta, and
was given nights lodging. In the
evening he was again seized with
pain and starting towards his bed fell
across it, dead. He was member of
the G. A. r. and was born in 1881; these
marks are on his arm. No money or
papers were found on his clothes. He
gave his name as Warner, and said
he was looking up the Warmers and
heirs to an estate out west. His ac-
tions were peculiar and mysterious
throughout.

Afew Plain Facts from Auditor
Resh.

The above tabulated statement
from the records in the Auditors Of
fee demonstrates that in total ex-
penditure of $1S1, ,171.71 during the
last 81 years, only $24, 4,315. 81 has been
purely county funds, and the county
fund has for the most of this time ex-
listed only in name and its obligations
have been discharged on borrowed
capital. This condition of affairs has
been very annoying to the Treasurer
as it placed him in a very embarass-
ing position, and at the close of bust
ness on the 1st day of Sept, 1891, the
condition of the various county funds
was as follows: County fund over
drawn, $34, 146 04; building fund over
drawn, $4,560S8; soldiers relief fund
overdrawn, $26449; bridge fund on
hand, $5, 175.47; general ditch fund on
hand, 81, ,399.3S; sinking fund on
hand, ST., $685. The amount over
drawn exceeded the amount on hand
by 81, ,503. 1S, not including road inn
provements overdrawn, $9,926.44, or
total deficit of $14, ,429.62. The
Treasurer suspended payment of
county orders to county officers for
the most part, for three months, and
many other county and bridge bills
were on file and not allowed until af-
ter the December collection of 1899,
which relieved the stringency. This

Grand Success,


Rev. Rankin, who has been hold
ing protracted meeting at the Pres
byterian Church for the past two
weeks, left for Montpelier on Tues
day, where he holds services for a
week. From there the reverend gen
tleman will go to Peru, Ind, where he
has an appointment to preach in the
Presbyterian church for six months.
Rev. Rankin has wrought a won
derful work in Napoleon during his
short stay, the ingathering being
from 80 to 85, which is probably the
largest number brought into the
church fold at any one series of meet
ings in the history of Napoleon
During his stay among us he has
made rmany warm friends, not only
with church members, but with the
people generally; all wish him God
speed in his good work, and hope that
he may again visit Napoleon.
The meetings are being continued
this week under the leadership OF
Rev. Donahey.

A Uommsrcia, cup,a.

He wanted her all for his own, as
some foolish lovers do, but she was not
an emotional monopolist of that kind.
On the contrary, she had syndicated
her affections, and there were half a
dozen young men, each of whom was
quite as much to her as was this young
Romeo J. Gould.
Not only had she disposed of num-
ber Of blocks CT stock in her heart, but
she gloried in it with true speculative
pride, and when he would seek to claim
her as his own she would taunt him
with it and tell him she could not afford
to make an emotional specially of him,
and that he must be content with what
she felt inclined to let him have.
Spare my tender feelings" he cried
to her one evening in the cleaning, aft
', er she had told him how his account
stood. "Spara my tender feelings"
She smiled with sardonic sweetness.
I'm sorry can't accommodate you
real sorry, but can't. The best I
can do for you is to tender my spare
feelings" ="
Then, after the long depression, the
crash came, and he sank into hopeless
emotional bankruptcy. y.--Detroit Free

The public will no doubt be not a
little surprised to learn that Geo. H.
Rohrs & Bro, have disposed of their
dry goods store to Mr.. Fred. Bruins,
of Sandusky county. Possession is to
be given April list, 1894.
We understand Mr.. B. has purchas-
ed the stock for his sons, who will
conduct the business after the first of
the coming April.
Citizens generally will regret ex-
ceedingly to see Mr.. Rohrs retire from
business in Napoleon, where he has
been recognized as one of our leading
merchants for number of years. He
informs us that he does not expect to
leave Napoleon, and may embark in
business here again before long.

wishes of the NORTHWEST for their
success.
