We experienced both pleasure mad
profit last Tuesday evening by attend
ing the literary society conducted by
our colored friends at the Second Bap-
fist church. The question for discussion
was, in substance, whether the colored
people of the United States should be
sent to Africa and the affirmative was
maintained by Willis Jackson and Reu-
ben Lee, while the negative was cham
pioned by John Brown and Lorenzo Lee.
The Judges decided I'm favor of the affirm
alive by two thirds vote. 1t was one
of the best discussions that we have
ever heard in a literary society. The
speakers showed that they were familiar
with the subject and.they argued their
respective sides without hesitation and
with more than ordinary ability. But
few arguments, on either side, were
omitted that could have a tendency to
sustain their positions, Several good
songs were given also and everything
passed off smoothly and pleasantly.
Good order was maintained and all were
well entertained. The participants
show commendabie spirit in keeping
up these meetings and they will surely
be profitable to all who take part.

From the Cove County Echo.

1t seems that Col. Reynolds was only
slated for the appointment of Receiver
of the Wa-Keeney land office, and will
have to wait the pleasure of the Presi-
dent for the appointment. Some times
states are broken in long handling but
we hope not in this case.
Ye Editor made a trip to Wa-Keeney
the first of the week. Wa-Keeney, not
withstanding their big fire that burned
one fourth of their business buildings,
has more good stores and business estab-
lishments than any town in western
Kansas.
Wa-Keeney is a place we always like
to 60 to as every mother s-son tries to
make you feel at home, and your stay is
so pleasant that it is hard to tear ones
self away.
While in Wa-Keeney Monday we saw
a man walk into the Clerks office and
deposit a sack of rabbit scalps and get
his five cents apiece for them. Mr.
Hoar, the clerk, informed us that last
year he had taken in 10000 rabbit scalps
and 400 wolf scalps. Wolf scalps last
year were 81, and both together cost the
equity 91,OOV. we WSIo IuIOTlllou GIdG
were as many wolves and rabbits in the
county as ever. There is no use of one
or two counties trying to exterminate
the pests from all of western Kansas,
for as soon as caught out they will come
in from other counties where no bounty
is paid for their scalps. 1t is also con-
tended that the 400 wolves spoken of
above would have killed more rabbits
than the hunters, and as consequence
in killing one varmint you increase an
other. Varmints like men prey on each
other. We have always favored boun-
ties on wolves and rabbits but unless all
the surrounding counties act together we
doubt it's expediency.

Louis Brown, of Wa-Keeney, has be en-

George Phillips, Receiver Wilson's
chief clerk at Wa-Keeney, spent Tues

The railroad men are stirred up over

what action will be taken.
A. w. Nutz, supt. at the te1e-
graph Office, has been appointed station
agent at Wallace. w. L. Miller takes
his place here.
The public schools in Replogle, Beaver
Bank, Gerkin's and Star districts
have been closed owing to the prevail
ence of diphtheria in the immediate vic
Unity.
We hear of a number of political COM
binations which look nice and rosy for
those on the inside. Wonder if it has
ever dawned on the minds of the ma
nipulators of conventions that the Re-
publicans of the county may sit down on
their shellfish plans.

From the Ness City News we learn
of foul murder which occurred on
Tuesday evening, of last week, about
four miles north of Ness City. Kit
Wilkerson was the victim and was shot
by an assassin while in his own house.
Two boys, living in the neighborhood,
left home about eight o'clock for the
expressed purpose of spending the even
ing with Wilkerson. When they arriv-
ed at the sod house they noticed light.
The door was almost closed but not
latched. Upon pushing it open they
discovered that the house was full of
smoke, and that the bed was on fire.
According to the story told by the boys,
it took them several hours to put out
the fire, which they did by carrying
water, and all of this time no thought
was given to the inmate of the house.
In fact it was not until Wednesday
evening that the blackened and burned
remains of the deceased were found,
with his hands clasped upon his breast,
with his boots and most of his clothes
on as if he had thrown himself down
for moments rest while waiting for
his evening meal which was cooking, on
the stove. Examination revealed that
he had been shot through the skull just
back of the right ear, with a shot gun,
loaded with buck shot.

Owing to the fact that there was

many of the people devoted most of

result is that $50 were killed, or some

would be so numerous that part of a
hen house would be their abode. Most
everyone is complaining of their frequent
visits We should resort to some meas
ure and exterminate every one of such
pests.
J. J. Keraus represents the Hart
Pioneer nursery of Fort Scott, Kansas.
Those wishing some nursery stock will
do well to call He quotes few of
the following prices:
Apple trees, year old, So per 100.
Crab apple trees, year old S. per 100.
Peach trees, one year old, So per 100.
Plum trees, one year old, $8 per 100.
Concord grapes, two years old, So per 100
two years old, 81 per 100.
All other stock accordingly. Every
business has its dishonest and unscrup-
ulous followers and unfortunately the |
nursery business has perhaps more than |
it's share. The planter who is about to |

about investigating the reliability of the |
