now; having forgiven Henry on mis-
deatfIbed. The last time we heard OF
him was about ten years ago and he
was then living near Wichita. Kindly
look around and If dne is there send me
his address, for / would like 10 hear
from him once more before die"
Another letter is from a father II
Missouri. He writes as follows, IN
part: My daughter married against
our wishes ten years ago and went TO
Wichita. Her husband was no ac-
count fellow and we heard soon after
they were married that he whipped her
and she got a divorce. If you can find
her see how she is getting along ard
let me know if she needs anything and
also give me her address.
These are only samples OF the letters
received. Mr. Fitch, Of course, can't
go around hunting for people and find
ing out what their condition IS but II
they are in his jurisdiction he gets the
letter carriers to get whatever iEforma-
ton they can about them.
Last year he received letters of this
character from Ireland, Germany and
France and even as far east as Russia.

l. Lac Club Royalty Entert3ins Their Friends
in Free Yale-Tide style Last Night.
There was quite al enjoyable social
event held at the residence of Mr. r. H
JchrSon, corner Mentor and Fern ave-
nues on the West SIDE last night; the
occasion being the Lilac clubs recep-
ton to their friends. This club is COM
posed Of a large class of young ladies
Of the Central Church of Christ The
club manage to make everything they
do go off with a wlTiz ard last night
reception was no exception 10 the rule.
The house was very rastefuily decorat-
ed with holly and everg-eens and be-
tween the large folding doors and in
the center Of the parlor and dining
room hung punches of miSIletoe, and il
never needs comment as TO the out
come, when lot of pretty and charm
ing young ladies hang mistletoe up at
Chrisrmastide and then wander about
ainleSsly in close proximity thereto,
ard the boys are always bashful OF
course on such occasions. The hack
parlOr and dining room Were filed with
tables upon which all the games old and
new, could be found, except cards.
The guests and their charming hos
teses played games Of all kinds and in
dulged in music and conversation ur-
ii late in the evening when a very odd
ara unique menu OF reIfeSflnleEtS were
served, consisting of hoE tomalas, sand
wicIles and coffee. This menu was a
daring venture or the part of the young
ladies, and was done for the oddity OF
the thing, but all enjoyed both the
change, S4le odGity and the menu 10 the
limit.
After the refreshments were disposed
of music, games and a general good
tfrne was resumed not oTniuting the stu
dious manner in which the young ladies
avoided those three charmed and charm
ing spots beneath the mistletoe. The
guests ali departed for their homes at
quite AN early hour this morning, each
young gentleman especially, feeling
uil'alt the yule-tide festivities had not
been erased by the hand of time, Ward

GRANT COUNTY ALL RIGHT
Editor Palmer OF Medford Brings Good
News From the strip.


News From the strip.
T. ], Palmer, publisher of the Patriot
at Medford, Okla, called yesterday
while in the city. He informs US that
Grant county, from which distressing
reports came last winter, is enjoying
bOundleSS prosperity this fall and win
ter. Their crops, except wheat and
oats, could not well be better. As an in
dication Of prosperity he says that
one store in his town sold over $500
worth Of holiday goods three sale days
before Chris tmas; and other stores had
an immense trade, many useful articles
being purcha sed for Christmas pres
ents. over 200 cars of hay have been
shipped from Grant county and fully
500 cars remain in stack Yet not over a
third of the hay in fhe county was cut.
Experiments are now being made with
kaffir corn as fodder for shipping. 1t is
shredded and baled, then shipped to the
south where it is priced above timothy
hay. With five tons of this fOdder-an
acre and almost forty bushel of seed
and a sure crop, the farmers of Grant
county are strictly in il. The recent
rains have soaked the ground in the
finest manner and everything now pre-
sages a good wheat crop next year. Mr..
Palmer says there is no need of sOlic-
fting aid. that work can be obtained by
those desiring ii, and the good crops en-
able the people to supply the few needy
without going outside. The taxes are
pretty high when applied to the prop
erty assessed. but so little land is prov
ed up that all taxes are assessed 10 the
personal property. Time will remedy
this, as considerable land is being prov
ed up. The compliments mostly are
