About The Bank,

There has been considerable QuaiI-
titY OF rumOr about, to the effect that
the accounts OF the depOsitOrs Of the
Bank of Hutchinson would be bought
up at fifty cents on the dollar by some
party or parties who would discharge
the receiver and close out the business
themselves. There is nothing, how
ever, sufficiently definite about this at
present to amount 20 anything more
than rumor. 1t was reported week
or two ago that the broker firm OF
Winnie & Winnie would make such
an offer II they could got all the ac-
counts, for Of course, they can do
nothing unless they do. 1t ia now
talked that Mr.. Canterbury Is eDgl-
neeTing a similiar scheme, but what
truth there is 10 it we cannot say.
The greatest trouble with this kind OF
an arrangement is to get peace with
all the creditors, as there are 50 many
and 80 many different kinds-many Of
them being preferred. This makes it
very complicated affair for any
agreements to be- cOnsumated.

WERPMLNATER.

Abbyville merchants were made to re-
joice on account of the eale of so many
large harvest bills.
The streets of our city were crowded
last week with teams, headers aud bar
ges also men and boys going to and from
the harvest fields. Prosperity seems in
deed to have struck us again but it is
not Mckinley prosperity. Itcomes from
higher source.
Corn is looking very well but needs
rain.
We notice number Of announcements
by ghdiatOrs who expect to enter the
political arena this fall to contend for the
various county offices. 1t seems rather
early to agitste the people in regard to
politics, but the old saying about the
"early bird and the early worm" seems
not to have lost it's inspiration. This will
no doubt be quiet year In politics COM

that rolled over this country during the
greater part Of last year. However as a

for which we commended are not lost and
the questions are not settled. Indeed II
question cannot be settled until settled
rightly. II was not the voice of the peo-
pie that spoke but the silent power OF

Death of Thomas A. Fair.

Thomas A. FAR died at his home
in South Reno township the 18th of
June, 1897. He was troubled with a
cancer for about year and half. 1t
kept growing worse in spite Of the
best medical aid that could be obtained,
but was 80 he could get around verv
we'll until the 9TH of last November,
when he became so weak he could no
longer sit up or walk about. From
that time on he had been gradually
failing until his death. The funeral
services we're held at the residence on
the 10th and the remains were taken
to the Esstside cemetery.
Thomas A. Fair was born in South
Carolina in the year 1929, where he
lived until 1850. He was then 81
years of age. lie married Miss Julia
Ann Menter the same year, then they
went to Mississippi where they lived
when the war broke out. He enlisted
and served three years, when he was
wounded and lay in the hospital for
six months. He then returned home
to his wife in Mississippi where they
lived until 1885. By this time, through
being industrious, prudent and eco
nomlcal, they had accumulated enough
to purchase a section of land in South
Reno township, Reno county, Kansas.
They came here in the spring of 1885
having lived here about twelve years
at the time If death. He was an in
dustriOus, prudent man and a true
American citizen beloved by all who
knew him, true to all his friends and
a friend to everybody, bis symparies
were always with the poor, most de-
voted, kind and affectionate father
and an honest man, he leaves wife
and nine children, two boys and seven
girls, four of whom are living in this
township, the Others in Mississippi.
Thus has passed from among US y
grand neighbor and noble man.
"A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved lie stilled,
A place is vacant in his home,
Which never can be filed
God in bis wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given;
And though the body mouldeTs here,
The soul is safe in Heaven"

We must come tn the logical conclusion
in view OF these facts, that our only hope

Newton Laborers In Trouble.

The men employed in putting in the
water works at Newton necessary to
secure the division stations from EN-
pOria and NickersOn, are very mad
set. They contracted, it is claimed, to
work for $13O per day. They have
only worked short time and now, in
the middle of harvest when farm labor
is worth more than that they have
been cut to seventy-6ve cents. The
employers are bringing in or are about
to bring in dsgOs to do the work for
that price. These fellows have un-
doubtedly been voting for prosperity
and as they are getting what they
voted for they should not howl.

Last Saturday about noon occurred
more runaways and smashups in about
three minutes than had before occurred
during the past several years alto

to city cinder wagon by Mr.. Ray

was empty and had nothing but dump
boards. The driver stood up and
tried to control the team but to no

Creek bridge one of the dump boards
appeared to get caught till it acted
like spring-board and threw the
driver high into the air aud almost
across the bridge. Nevertheless be
scrambled to his feet and ran on after
the team.
Just after his team left the bridge,
a large gray farm team belonging to
Mr.. Joe Altenried of near Partridge,
who was driving into town with his
family TO market some farm produce,
frightened and started to run. Shortly
