was bright as a new pin, clean in every
point; il was served with best but
simplest fuel food; it had its furnace
tubes clear; it was saved from friction
by having its parts properly oiled; and.
drank nothing but water. So IL lived
on nearly three generations, with a
good chance of living through three
more; it was allowed, in fact, to make
the most of its physical life.
It's masters did not make the most oi

somewhat industrious. but they wers

had not learned SO well how TO find the
best food and drink for their own la

they did not make the most of their

the engine went. still merrily, on it,

THEY SEE ABOUT 1T.
Some County Officers Go to Topeka to En-
quire About Legislation.

The county officers all over the state
visit Topeka when the legislature is
in session especially when some legis-
lation is proposed effecting their sala-
reS
Some of the Sedgwick county officials
have made several trips to Topeka
since the legislature has been in ses-
sion. Judge Barrett has returned and
says the Ballinger bill now before the
legislature is especially interesting 10
county officers because it lowers their
salaries and fees.
He says the original bill has been
amended and as it now stands that
his Office will remain fee office but
the fees will be reduced about thirty
per cent.
Judge Barrett says that the proposed
law Will do the most injustice to SUPER
intendents OF county schools as they
now have a good deal of work TO DO
for the amount of the salary they are
allowed. The salary will be further
reduced and Mr.. Barrett thinks the
office will not under the proposed law
be worth having,
AS to Sedgwick county's representa-
tives the Judge thinks they are makinG
a great record and have great deal
of influence for good.

This City One Week.

A week from next Monday will be

committee have about completed all
arrangements and are very enthusi-
astic in their expectations of big

be in Wichita during the week and it
will be a big week for the city. The
merchants are making special prepar-
atoms TO look after customers and Will
endeavor to please the a. o. L. w. peo-
pie. Everybody is confident that the
meeting will be asuccess. Already on
almost every corner you can see one of
the beautiful aluminium badges which

railroads in the state have agreed to
make a one fare rate TO Wichita and re-
turn. While great many of the A
O. II. w. folks who are very loyal to

time, still gentle as woman in spirit
LIES fitful fever contained no heart
breaking throbs for him, only gentle
regrets; it's fated roads even were bord-
cred with flowers. No one was with him
when he reached the horizon that
bounds time, that veil beyond which
the mortal cannot see, but behind
which, no doubt, stood, in expectant at
titude, and with open arms, his wife
who had proceeded him only few
months, she whose absence from their
earthly home left nothing this side of
Heaven to be wished for or attained.
So with many another who knew his
worth of soul and gentle life we are
left only to say good bye Chariew Mat
kin.
Life treads on life and heart on heart
We press too close in church and mart
To keep dream or grave apart.

INDIAN FIGHTING COURAGE.

It takes specis, Kind Of courage to
fght Indians, esd Maj. Edward Rags
dale, at the Little Gen." in Topeka.
They're pretty sure to surprise you
and they're slippery as quicksilver and
as hard to catch. Their yelling and
whooping alone are enough to staIn-
pede men not trained to their style OF
fighting. Sometimes they fight under
cover and you catch fire from an enc
nv you can't get sight of, and again,
where there hasn't been one to be seen,
they seem all to spring out of the
ground at once, and charge you as
though nothing could stand their on
set. Then there's the knowledge that
If they catch you alive, you'll be
skinned alive OF burned, or your life

thousand other ways they can think

stout-hearted desperate, a terror in
white settlements and not afraid to
have a pistol or shotgun scrap any hour
of the day or night with man OF his
own color, who doesn't count for row
of pins in an Indian fight
Take Sam Brown, of Nevada, for q
case in point. He wasn't afraid OF any
man that wore boots, and he was the
terror of the mining camps everywhere
he went. The Piute Indians got bad
one time and a party was organized in
the camps to 60 out against them. Sam
Joined the volunteers and everybody in
the party and all that stayed behind
were talking about the big deeds Sam
Brown would do, and chucllling to
think of the way those redskins would
! be wiped out when they run up against
| him.
Well, when they came upon the
Indians things didn't turn out quite as
they had expected. 1t was the whites
that got licked out in short order, and
those that weren't left on the ground
stampeded for safety. Sam Brown was
pace he set his horse at to get away
from those redskins was something
that beat quarter racing in the way OF
reckless riding. AS they stampeded
down the canyon, every man trying to
| be foremost to get away, Sam hailed
Joe McMurtrie who was riding better
horse than his:
.Oh, Macl Pull your horse little
SO can come up. Wen ride safer to-
gether."
McMurtrie's answer to that friendly
invitation was to bend down to his
horses neck, set In the spurs and get
out of that canyon ahead OF Sam and
back TO Bodie as fast as boots could
carry him. He knew Sabl Brown, and
that if that worthy once got alongside
him he wouldn't hesitate to shoot him
of his horse so as to get better
mount for himself. After they all got
back to the settlement he didn't go
round to places where he was likely To
meet Sam. lest il might stir him up to
