A farmer friend the other day was
complaining bitterly of bis unfortunate
condition, and we asked him what the
country was coming to. He answered
by relating the following story: 1--WE
might as well be honest like the old
Dutchman whom the neigbors over
heard talking TO his dog, one morning.
Ie says: Mine tog, wish vas you.
You gets up in de morning unit trots

Rev. E. o. Taylor's last Wednesday
evenings lecture, "a Glass of Beer
Analysed, was heard by very large
audience. All who were fortunate
enough in hearing either of his lectures,
whether believers in the temperance
cause or not, agree that he is man of
culture, science, and full knowledge
of his subject. His lecture was the
best on the subject of alcohol that we
have ever heard and probably eyer
will hear, and from an educational
standpoint alone, was worth many
times the amount paid for admission.
From this place Rev. Taylor went to
Sharon and lectured on Friday night
and from thence to Wichita. He is a
highly educated gentleman and fluent
speaker. He has made many friends
while in our city and speaks highly of
our citizens, saying, among other
things, that he was more coLrteously
received and entertained by our people
than any other place in the state.

The untimely and unwarranted slur
that was cast upon Jerry Simpson and
the G.. A. Il. by the Cresset and a few
politicians not members of the Post
caused considerable indignation among
our citizens. To show how utterly in
consi steEt the Cresset is we will say
that the great majority of those who
elected MIR. Simpson as a delegate to
the State Encampment were republl-
cans and hence If it was a political
scheme it was republican scheme.
The statement that q new member il
not eligible to be a delegate is
false, so we are informed by those post
ed on the matter.

hounds caught young coyote north of
town. 1t so happened that the dogs
did not injure the coyote to any notice
able extent and it was chained at Char
ley's home and chase was to take
place on Monday afternoon. During
this time the coyote broke loose and
and took its leave but the hounds were
put on Its trail and Mr.. coyote was
again brought back. Everything was
in good shape for a chase on Monday
but, 10, when the hunters went to get
their game it was lifeless body and
the widely advertised chase was post
poned indefinitely. There are several
more of the varmints banging around
