For years we have been attending
Uncle Toms Cabin shows and seeing
Little Eva get off her song and dance
about wanting to climb the golden

likely to. Little Eva eloped with
Uncle Tom at Salina and although
she is about ten years the older it Is
believed that they will be happy. The

Herington Times; Miss Mace King,
the lady who presides over the regis

made more friends during the past
two years than anybody who has ever
served in that very important posi-
tion. Even previous to that time
she was deputy county clerk for a
while and it may be properly said
that there her popularity commenced.
And when her father, the late DR..
King, was nominated for register
two years ago, the very fact OF
her assisting him in the office brought
him hundreds of votes from all sec
tions of the county. After her fathers
death the county commissioners did
a very proper thing in appointing the
daughter to fill the unexpired term,
and now before this term is out the
voters will declare in her favor a
second time and by so doing will
leave the recorders office in the hands
of the little lady who always has a

The first business Of court this
morning was the sentencing Of the
two prisoners found guilty; Henry
Engle and Lewis Boughner. The
former was convicted Of petty larceny
in stealing wheat and was sentenced
to so days in jail, to date from his
conviction, Sept. 9. The punishment
was not severe and it is hoped by the
friends Of Mr.. Engle that it will be
sufficient to teach him the error Of
his ways. He is fine looking
young man, with with a wife whose
devotion has been marked through
out their troubles.
Lewis Boughner, convicted Of pick
ing pockets, was sentenced to be sent
to the Reform school, He is not
naturally very bright and the stay at
the school will do him good.
Richard Oakford's bond was declar-
ed forfeited this this morning owing
to his non-appearance for trial This
afternoon he arrived, saying that he
be could not possibly get here owing
to the high water in and around
Fredonia. 1t is not decided what the
court will do in the matter. An, ad-
iournment was taken at noon until
tomorrow morning.
The grand jury took heat bath
today. The rooms over Hodge Bros.
had little ventilation and full sun
exposure in the afternoon that made
the fifteen men at work there wish
for a touch Of January weather.
About 2 o'clock the jury filed over
to the courthouse and returned IA
bills. OF course the nature Of them
cannot be known until arrests are
made.
A large number Of witnesses have

IDENTIFY doing its best to bring all vio-
lators Of law to justice.
