The Indians having abandoned the
land and the white people having set

claimed the right to recover rent for the
use Of the land; the whites asserted the
right to set up the value OF their inn

as the whites had rO right to settle upon
the land, and Rs their action In 90 do

land, no relation of landlord and tenant
could obtain, and consequently no rent
could be recovered by the Indians. He

RebelliOns Wichita.

No one would have suspected, one
year ago to- day, that the city Of Wichita
which was then preparing to help swell
the redeemer majority, would 80 soon
be in state Of rebellion. The following
letter from there explains the condition
and the reader will see that the whole
trouble can bs traced to the state Rd-
mlnistEation:
"The residents Of the west side, which
constitutes the Fifth ward, becoming in
dignsnt over the action of the council
in closing the hose house located on that
side Of the Arkansas river, have served
notice upon that body Of their intention

Fifth ward pays nearly one fifth Of the
city taxes and has bat two public insti-
tutions, the hose-house and the dog
pound. The ward is now practically
deprived Of both police and fire protec.

insurance companies have raised rates.
Within the past five years the ward has
paid Sl5S,0O0 taxes, while it has received
but an insignificant share Of the bens-
fits. The question will come before the
council next Monday night.

And breathe it's bitter wail-Good. by

Too dim, too sad

Yet there-all glad!

The tender clasp we deemed had failed
Some voice-perhaps

Will thrill us there
With love unfeigned.

That one we loved,
Perhaps too well,
Can love, love so?

Don't discontinue a paper until

Don't misinform a newspaper in

Do your own fighting.
Don't tell the editor that you de.
test newspaper notoriety and then
get mad if he believes you.
Don't abuse a paper unless YOU
pay Tor 1t. Borrowers are the great
est fault finders newspaper has to
contend with.
Don't expect paper to abuse the
government for your especial bene-
fit. Tell your troubles to the police.
Don't abuse the paper if it uses
space in printing something you do
not consider worth reading. Those
who read that part of the journal
may think your favorite matter pure
rot. A paper is built to please many
not one.
Don't take paper from the Post
office for five years and then refuse
to pay for it because you "never sub.
scribed for 1t nohow." This is thiey-
cry, pure and simple. You could
have refused 1t four years and eleven
months before.
Don't get mad if your VISITORS
name does not appear in the personal
column. Perhaps you did not tell
the editor; he's no mind reader.
DON'T stop a paper if your three
column contribution is condensed
into eight lines. The condenser
may have done you a great favor.
DON'T declare a paper unreliable
because an important item contains
a grave error. The editor may have
gotten his information from your
brother.
Don't not cuss the editor because
his opinions do not conform to yours.
II they did he might be at variance
