ing main in Lawrence. It is thought
tendance when the first contest comes
off.
The Amity Canal company has sold
4O, 900 acres of its land, in small tracks,
northwest of Coolidge, at $50 an acre.
That is the right kind of a boom. It
means increased population; not
swindle.
The Topeka Lance suggests that in
order to make sure that the dead shall
rest in peace, a live man be stationed
with shot gun over every new grave.
1t is good idea; there are some dead
live men who could be spared.
J. T. Barker, farmer near Kansas

Scammon, with the instructions to
the postmaster that if the party to

The course Of true love doesn't run
smooth at Coffeyville, and hence the
filing of a somewhat sensational suit
for breach of promise. The plain
tiff is Sallie Williams, of dusky tint,
and the defendant, Foster Williams, a
free American of African descent. The
plaintiff alleges that the defendant
trifled with her affections, and as he
is a prosperous dealer in groceries, she
thinks that SIS, 200 would satisfy her
wounded pride.
Ed Sands of Phillips county, who
had been arrested, escaped and made
a short cut across the cornfield for lib
erty. The constable gave chase in a
buggy and getting within hailing dis
lance, commanded the fugitive to sur

poetry.
