Two Lively Goats.

Tuesday evening, the 10Th, was one
many of the A. O. u. w. boys will re-
member with pleasure as they journey
down the pathway of time. Great
Bend Lodge 127 was visited on that
evening by number Of Hoisington
brothers. and the massing together of
so many Of the best manhood of each
city was so satisfactory that they could
not "break away" until long after mid
night.
There was work" in the Workman
degree, and j. Geo. Brinkman was
turned and polished, and trimmed, and
sandpapered to fret, until he shines
today splendid living example of a
perfect Workman.
The members and guests repaired, in
attachments, TO the Congregational
church, where a most elegant repast
was served, after which an hour spent
at the lodge room again in neighborly
socialIty and pleasant speechmaking.
The guests present were as follows:
w. w. Truxall, Henry .Wildgen, Joe
began, Len Pugh, Pat Hager, John
Bitner, Ed. Brown, J. w. Soderstrom,
L. Weir, a. S. Cooke, Ed. Hoch, 2. U.
Day and J. E. Almond, of Hoisington;
and q. E. Child, of Wichita.
After adjournment of the a o U w
proper, the a. o. A. M.-which being
elongated properly means "Ancient
Order of Adhesive Mogullians''-held a
seance of lengthy duration and jubilant
Jollifcation. Three brothers from
Hoisington-Bitn Hager and Sober
strom-and Brother Child from the
windy Wonder, Wichita, had large,
overgrOwn bankers" with them, which
aforesaid and last mentioned thank
ers' were speedily satisfied with su,
preme satisfaction to all implicated
The Workmen are indeed hustlers
and are deserving of the healthful
growth the orderis showing.

ONE of the hugest jokes of the pre-
sent state administration is Apple
Jack Cy Leland, the head end of the
republican organization, prosecuting
any man for drunkenness or immOr-
atty? If there is man IN Kansas who
can have higher time among con-
genial spirits and prohibition ''spirits'
than Cy Leland, we'd like to see the
color of his hair.

THE Kansas City Journal made a
scoop on all competitors when it an
nounced the fact that Cy Leland is
Governor dwellings, successor. The
laity of the republican party has been
laboring under misrepresentation, says
the Journal, when thinking that Nor
rill was the governor.

The Topeka Journal, one Of the most
widely read republican papers of Kan

cowardice and making false oath. If
