his family returned from the Strip

A. n. Sister Tilbury attended the
Sunday school last Sunday and took
part In the exercises. The school was
glad to have their superintendent with
them again.
On Monday morning there was quite
severe frost. The mercury stood at
30 degrees above zero. The freeze was
sufficient to destroy all tender vegeta-
ton such as melon and pumpkin vines
and tomatoes. presume that flowers
are killed to such an extent that bees
will not find much honey or pollen to
carry in any more this fall.
Uncle Billy Brown, Edger Keith and
wife and Bro. Fatum were absent from
Sunday school last Sunday being in at
tendance at the Baptist association.
In the absence of Bro. Keith Squire
Wilson acted as superintendent.

the association on Monday. Next Sun

This week the apples will in all prob
ability be gathered and stored. Far
mers would naturally prefer to let
their apples hang for few days long
er il they would hang OH the trees un-
ill they get their wheat sown but from
some cause this fall apples have such
tendency to drop from the trees that a
man finds the larger share of bis apples
under the trees instead of on them and
apples will keep better stored in some
cool place than they will il left under
the trees where they drop.
GrasshOppers continue very numer-
Gus and are making sad havoc OF some

Commissioners Proceedings.

The regular meeting Of the board OF
county commissioners for the October
term adjourned last Saturday. The
term was q very busy one on account OF
the large amount of business coming
before it created by the Sparks case.
The following is some of the most i'm
portant business done:
The bond of j. w. Potes treasurer.
was accepted.
A new contract was made with the
Citizens bank, whereby they pay four
per cent. on the deposits and ninety
cents for scrip.
Certificate of error was allowed Ja-
cob Achenbach on real estate, on &C.
count of excessive valuation.
Same to Citizens State bank on same
account. Same to Chas. MoltZ, rebate
of penalty.
The resignation of Geo. Shuler, con-
stable of Sharon township was accept
ed.
Numerous bills were allowed. most Of
which were fees in the Sparks case.
The bill of E. Sample for defending
Geo. Horton was rejected.
The bill OF DR.. Moore for attending
Mrs. Clara Sparks during illness by re-
quest of E. Sample, was rejected.
Bill of Skinner, sheriff of Kingman
county for serving tax warrants reject
ed.
A petition of 100 bona fide tax payers
OF the county was presented for the re-
lease of Messrs. Kimballs and Garten
from jail. 1t was ordered that they
be released.
The bill of Allan Clay for services
rendered the state in this Sparks muir
der case for $50, LAID over until next
meeting.
Bill of o. G. Howe justice of the
peace laid over.
w. F. Smith same.
The report of E. H. Nixon, who wa,
employed to examine books of clerk
probate judge and treasurer was &C
cepted. The report showed that the
following persons were indebted to the
county as follows: e. B. Peck $134 O5
F. l.. Gordon $15l SIS, J. w. Potes 1891
w. T. Rouse S25OO5, F. A. Lewis
$12O3. 80. q. w. Stevens $216.85.
This shortage arises from fees tt
which the officers thought they were
legally entitled, and which opinion
was rendered by Ex-Attorney Genera
Ives during his term of Office. Wher
Little was elected to that Office he rem
dered an opinion opposite to that Of
Ives. and the matter was tested in TIT
supreme court some six or eight
months ago. Titles opinion wa,
held to be the law, that is, the officerl
had no right to the fees. that they be
longed to the county. This applies on
~ to clerk and treasurer. Since tn,
decision was rendered by the supreme
court, the clerk and treasurer turned
the fees into the county treasury, bu

Rev. North's View of Simpsons Career.

The people Of this vicinity all remem-
Der Rev. North and how bitterly he op-
posed Simpson four years ago. The
following letter to w. Fl. Worland will
probably be Of special interest to many
af onr readers as it is another brilliant
example of how Jerry has emerged from
n storm Of scorn, ridlcule and adversi-
ties, until now his name and public
acts are cherished in the memory OF
every fair and truth loving citizen.
or course, Mr.. North is not a populist.
but he is broad minded enough to give

DEAR FRIEND-If you feel disposed you are
at liberty to publish the part of the letter
which refers to Hon. Jerry Simpson. OF
course. did not write that portion of the let

honest convictions as to Mr.. Simpsons stand

the public eye. 1 never knew a man in all my
public experience, who made such improve.

Of the big Seventh District" Kansas, believe

Big Seventh will not better herself if
she should refuse to return him.
