the court and jury, and setting this
man free before he bad served half the
short sentence of seven years given
him.
The claim is made that Wilson is
near unto death. and unless pardon
was issued him he would die IN prison.
We don take any stock in such bosh.
The same claim was made over year
ago when strong effort was being
made to get him out; but the men who
investigated the matter found him in
good health, and looking better than
he had for many years. Would it have
been any greater calamity for him to
have died in the feloH's cell. than for
some of his victims to die in penury
and want-as they are likely to do by
reason of this crime

HOISINGTON.

From the Dispatch.
Dell Gillian is on the sick list.
Frank Ladenberger has opened up a
confectionery shop in his stone build
ing.
Bert Baker has commenced teaching
a two months term of school in dis
trict 60, northeast of town. Bert will
make good instructor.
Hicks says Kansas will be blessed
with abundant crops for the next three
years. Now you people who pin your
faith to prophet Hicks, take courage.
The Methodist folks gave their pas
tor, Rev. Giddens, surprise donation
party Saturday evening. 1t was a
happy affair and the minister's larder
was well supplied with good things.
1t is said that a man living up Blood
creek brought in a load of wood few
DAYS ago tor which he received two dol
lars. He blew in the money for red
eye and then went and got 500 pounds
of state coal.

O. B, Wilson Pardoned,

After serving less than half the
term for which he was sentenced to
the penitentiary for defrauding several
hard working farmers of this county
out of their homes, o. B. Wilson has
been turned loose by a pardon from
Governor Morrill,. The pardon was
signed on the 21st, and it was the eYen-
ing of the 22d when the news reached
Great Bend, and spread disgust and
indignation all around. We have yet
to find single citizen of this county,
where all the facts surrounding Will
son crime are known, who does not
openly condemn the act of the governor
in thus setting at naught the decree of
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1895-02-28
The Printer.

A great many people do not know
how great paradox the printer and his
vocation are, and for their especial
benefit we explain as follows: Though
the average printer be constitutionally
penniless, he has always at his coin
mand "bank" and ''quioRs. He may
be the most lnoffenSive ran in the
world, yet he always has a shooting
stick" close at hand; though he lodges
not in a quarry. he always puts his
E'form'' on a -''stone'', while even his
press has it's ''bed.'' AS rule he is
far from being immaculate, yet he has
but to reach AID get dozens of STARS"
most decidedly he is no baker, though
he occasionally makes ''pi;" he never
uses timber but necessarily has a few
''sticks' handy; he may never GO to a
fox hunt but he cannot do without his
"chase;" especially does he make a
good soldier while waiting for a
''phat take," although he may never
have seen battle field; unlike the pu-
gilist he ''slugs" the type instead Of the
rubber bag; and he is the only man
that can set standing and stand while
setting. -Wyandotte Herald.
The printer will also have little
''hell box'' ali his own to which he
consigns all ''bastards" that come un-
der his observation; and whether mar
ried or single the printer always in
dulges in plenty of ''em-braces," and
his 'Tule''is as essential to him as is the
golden rule to his co-laborer in the en-
lightenment of the worId-the minister.
There are other pecullarities about a
printer that we might make ''planer,' -
such as the reason he ''wets'' some
''sheets" and does not others; why his
form is always ''locked up'' when he
''goes to press'' to get out an ''issue;''
and why his "circulstion''-' though al
ways greater than anybody elses-is
stimulated and increased by satisfac-
tory ''press work" These peculiarities
might be explained, as we'll as his pref
erence for long strings and short
''tokens;" for "clean proofs'' and an
abundance Of ''rings" (if being paid by
the thousand ems). Like most other
men they are anxious to ''get head. -
and often are ''stinted" that others
may reap more profits.
