LOWELL LOCALS.

Since our last writing several So
cial affairs have taken place in our
little town. The last, we believe, &C.
Cured last Saturday night ut the
home of Mr.. T. Folger. Most all of
the young folks of the town were
present and they report AN enjOya-
bic time. They were highly enter
tanned by the four young ladies of
the house, Refreshments were served
and all returned home feeling hap
pier for an evening thus spent.
Miss Nellie Goddardhas again re-
sumed her position at the club, and
Mrs. Bell is at the home of her
father.
Mrs. w. II. Br,inner of Oklahoma
is visiting her father, ]. n. Vickers,
of this place.
The academy has several new stu
dents since the holidays.
Prof. c. S. Bowman of the Baxter
Springs Normal and Business Col
lege was in our town Monday ON
business.
The Christmas entertainment and
wheel was success. The little
ones enjoyed the brownies and the
older ones the exercises by the liz
tie ones.
: We understand Baxter is consid-
erably worked up over the new col
ony that 10 to locate here soon.
Well. IL is sure coming. Agents
have already been sent here to buy
up all lots, houses and vacant lands
that are for sale near here, and II
Baxter wants TO be strictly in II she
would better move over at once, for
IL is only a question of time when
Baxter aud GaIena will be the sub
urbs of Lowell, the progressive
manufacturing city of the West.

marshal and the street commiss.
Toner power to keep the town order
~ aud clean. The council cannot
handle any public money. The
little money used by the council is
raised by private subscription
among the residents of the town,
and as il doesn't go through any
red tape machine, and as everyone
who pays these volunteer taxes
knows just how much lie pays for
everything, the money is not squan-
dered. II is, in fact, business adj
ministration. The city marshal is
only a fiat functionary. AS city
marshal he has power to do moth
ing except scare small boys who
throw melon rinds i'm the alleys aud
to notify owners ofpigpehs to clean
up, but as constable of Humboldt
township he can arrest men. and
enforce the laws as well as the best
policeman in the world.
The street commissioner has no
power save with the consent of the
people, whose property he grades
up or down. He is II sort of advise
ry board. The city clerk issues Ii
ctnses to shows which are clearly
fiat, and his record of the procee l.
ings of the council would have no
weight in any court. None of these
appointive officers qualify. The
whole machinery of administration
in the little town is carried on by
common consent.
The present mayor-the man who
was elected, but who has not quail
fled and will motifs W. I. McElroy.
editor of the Humboldt Union. Mr..
McElroy has been in the little town
for thirty years and his paper Is 70
years old. He thinks that when the
citizens get out of this hole the man
who offers TO vote bond on the
town site will lie hanged. He says
that the city stands ready TO COM
promise with the ''innoc .nt purchas-
ers" of the bonds for exactly what
the purchasers are alleged to have
paid, y cents OH the dollar. This
proposition, he declares, has been
made and rejected several times.
Every few months AN officer from
some court tries to find funds of the
extinct corporation in some bank in
the county. Not long ago the Off
Ger tried lola. But so far the courts
have been unable 10 get the funds.
The little town seems to have the
best of the contest, and only time
will release il from the trouble.
This should be warming to peo-
ple.who. when the good times come
here in the West, insist that little
towns shall vote big bonds.

CHICAGO Dec. 16.-John L. Sullivan,
fat as a prize OK, bowed his acknowledge
ments to a house full of people, who
stood up and cheered him for what he
had done. 1t was at the Alhambra thea
ter Saturday night.
He expected hearty greeting from
his Chicago admirers, but the enthus j.
asm was so much greater than what he
had counted on that he was as much en-
barrassed as a school boy
Paddy Ryan also came in for an ova-
ton, and when the pair. who have known
each other in the ring with bare knuck-
les, put up their gloved hands to spar,
they were cheered again and advised
from many parts of the house to make
it lively" They whacked each other
some smart ticks and the people were
satisfied.
The show was benefit exhibition for
Sullivan, and the receipts were suffi-
cient to make the great fighter happy.
Bill Bradburn the we'll known Chicago

down 800 for it. When offered change
he said:
Never mind the change; I am only
too glad to help the cause and show my
appreciation of the greatest fighter

"Come along, or Pll shoot you. I'll

oaths galore, to young girl at the corner
of Fourth and Tyler streets at 9 o'clock
last night.

Help, help" she cremed, 'don't let him
kill me-"
The nearest persons to these young
people were three women returning
from church. "Ron into a house." cried
one of them to the frightened girl She
obeyed, but the man in the house appear
ed to be equally scared for he would not
admit her. She tried to get in at two
different doors. but could not.
SAY. this amt none of your affair"
said the drunken brute, with leer. to
the woman who had spoken. "If you
don't close yer face and keep out o this
I'll blow out yer brains"
Notwithstanding these Threats the
woman ran to several men stand
ing about and tried to get them
to protect the girl from her
drunken companion and take her
home. None of them offered assist
ance until the girl commenced scream
ing again. Then one of the bystanders
went for a policeman and the others
swarmedsaround the young woman to
defend her. Two of the young men in
the crowd hurried their drunken friend
away and no arrests were made.
The young man is said to have been a
fellow named Poland, and the young
woman is a waiter girl at Topeka no.

had to wait before any of the men stand
ing about would offer to help her, it ap-

Iessly Abou in tho Country.
When J. o. Butler, a we'll known
farmer who lives three miles east of To-
peka on the river road, went to his barn
at daylight this morning he found good
looking, well dressed, old gentleman in
the barn yard. He spoke to him, and
asked him what he wanted
Il am just out for walk" replied the
old gentleman. Further questioning re-
vealed that the stranger was not in his
right mind.
He walked away, but soon returned.
Mr.. Butler induced him to wait while he
hitched up his horse. He then brought
the old gentleman to town where he was
identified as Rev. S. D. Storrs who lives
at 1913 Fillmore street.
Mr.. Storrs is eighty years old and his
mind has been failing fer two years. He
often wanders around in the neigh bor-
hood of the city, but this is the first time
he ever got SO far from home, at such
an unusual hour. The family, which is
one of the most respected in the oity,
has many friends.

Jack McGivern In One of His Customary
Fights at the Army Hall.
Jack McGivern took a young lady to
the Salvation Army services last night,
and persisted in talking to her out loud
while the meeting was in progress.
McGivern had been drinking, and he
didn't care much what he did.
"You will have to stop this talking"
said the lieutenant to the nineteen-year-
old boy.
mo won't" he replied as he rose and
landed his fist in the Salvationist's stom-
ach. Then he took better aim and hit
the Army man blow in the face.
The crowd here stopped him and held
the young man until Officer Fowkes ar
rived. He is working out his $50 fine.
Sixteen year old Delno Rouner is an
associate of Earl Cafferty, the very worst
boy in town. This may account for his
strange ideas of propriety.
Last night he attended the services at
the Third Christian church. Those
sitting around him were Mortified to see
him take revolver from his pocket and
coolly commence loading it He terror
lied the whole congregation until an
officer came and took him away. He
will contest the charge of distur bling the
peace.
