substituted a Ferris wheel for a
Christmas tree this year. 1t is unique
and very appropriate and is the handi-
work of c. c. Yetter and Thos. Wynn.
A large crowd will he present and
good time is anticipated.
c. J. Ferris, received Monday, a
large invoice of furniture from Kan
sas City. When in need of anything
in his line give him a call as he can
save you money. We know from per-
sonal experience that he sells goods as
cheap as Topeka and Kansas City
dealers as he buys direct from the

Thos. Wynn, of Ogallah, was in Wa
Keeney on Tuesday and made us
pleasant call. He is a candidate for
Forestry commissioner and is the best
qualified of any of the candidates
who aspire to the position. If we
had any say in tho distribution of
pop pie Tom would receive our hearth
est support.
1t is little early in the game to
predict who will De our next postmas-
ter, but our wish is that a republican
who has spent his time and money
i'm the late campaign in the interest
of the national, state and county
tickets will receive the plum. You
all know him and he is well qualified
for the office.
The man who wished he lived in a
world of chance and had his desire
gratified by way of a dream saw trees
growing wrong end up and everything
growing backward in a hap-hazzard
way We are reminded of the old
story by reading in the local free sill
yer organ that Kinzie Rogers will
make final proof on his homestead on
the second day of March, eighteen
hundred and ninety-six.
Colonel Sellers showed us what was
left of an old leather pocket-book and
five dollar silver certificate one day
last week. The only significance in
the above item is that the Colonel
lost pocket-book containing a five
dollar bill several months ago and he
hunted the town over for it. Two
weeks ago he cleaned out his stable

left of his once fat pocket-book-the
clasp and two small pieces of the note
one contained the figure five.
Masters Glen and Bud Jones and
Willis Sims were out walking last
Sunday north of the school house and
espied the tail of some kind of wild
animal in bunch of grass. Upon in
vestigation the boys were one dollar
richer, as it was coyote. 1t had a
bullet hole clear through it. The boys
had determined to return to town and
get a team and wagon, but brilliant
idea struck Glen that some one might
happen that way and they might forget
the spot, SO he persuaded his COM
panions to drag the animal home.
