Mr. and Mrs. David McCollum, of

Mr.. and Mrs. Eli McCollun, of Ogal-
one of our most prominent teachers
during his residence in Trego. but
since moving to Missouri he has been

The Marion Record is banking on
1897 being good crop year. Here is
what the paper says: Old settlers
used to have a theory, and still have.
fol that matter, that when there was
an abundance of snow in the noun
tainS, Kansas was sure to have wet
season. and vice versa. We were re-
minded of this the other day when we
picked up daily paper and read that
Colorado was buried under ava
lanches of snow which has been fall
ing for ten days in the mountains -
and that mot for many years has
such tremendoes snowfall been
known"
in demanding protection against for
eign clothing imported by Americans
who travel abroad. If American
cloth made by American tailors, is
good enough for President Mckinley
to wear, then it ought to be good
enough for any other American citi-
zen. Those who think otherwise
should be compelled to pay, in custom
duties, dollar for dollar of the value
of the goods they import. The same
law should apply to foreign wines,
foreign cigars, and all other such fads
and fancies as well as to foreign cloth
ing. Let us be Americans under an
American administration. = Gaylord
Herald.
The staff correspondent of the Inde-
pendent started out last Thursday af-
ternoon presumably for the Smoky to
visit relatives. He had a ''jag on''
and. at the home of j. N Kulp, the
''jag" began to work on the young
man. As the Corbett-F t-FitzSimmons
set-to was fresh upon his mind, and
he being of the''scrappy" order cursed
and damned them. He pulled his gun
and on the broad open prairies in
tones of profanity declared that he
could lick the world. He left Kulp's
place and that was the last seen or
heard of him. Sometime in the after
noon prairie fire was discovered on
the hill south of DR.. Jones' ranch and
he and some of his workmen with
teams went to the fire and extin-
guished it. In the center of the burnt
district stood Olson's faithful old
horse with his tail burned off and his
legs scorched. The party then went
in search of the correspondent and
found him lying by the roadside
on the broad of his back dead to
| the world. He was brought to
town and dumped out at the Union
house. The editor of the Independ-
ent didn't even say thanks, etc, to
the party who had done him a kind
act.
