Eppler, of OSwego, Labette county,
Kansas, was dead. Walter could not
leave on account of sickness at home.
Genial Joe Irwin, of the Cedar
bIulS. was III LOW III Il anu WdS
a welcome caller at this Office. He
has, of late, been afflicted with boils,
but as he is of a Lazarus, disposition
he was as jovial as ever.
The Pension Examining board met
in this city on Wednesday at DIR.
Jones' office. The board is composed
of DR.. Jones, DR.. Page, of Ellis, and
DR.. Winslow, of Oakley. A number
of old soldiers were examined.
Colonel Reynolds. of Grainfield, was
in the city on Monday. He is fighter
of the old school and, before many
moons, will have one or two scalps
hanging to his belt. While in the
city he called on his many friends
Mr.. Mulvey and family, of Ellis,
were in Wa-Keeney on Monday and
"Wednesday. II reports are true their
visits were for the purpose of reviving
their case against DR.. Raffington. We
are reliable informed that the doctor
has an Office in Kansas City.
p. Fl. Smith was given a position as
teacher in the Hutchinson Reforma-
tory. and began ms fabors on Monday
morning after his arrival there. His
work will therefore be congenial to
him and useful to the state, and time
should not hang heavily on his hands.
John Colborg and o. Carlson, of
Riverside township, were in Wa-Kee-
| ney on Tuesday and made us an APP
precIative call. John is jolly good
natured fellow, and makes friends
wherever he goes. Mr.. e. took out
his last naturalization papers and will
make good citizen.

daily invited to attend. Volunteer
numbers are added to the program

secretary.
We acknowledge the receipt of a
copy of ''Old Glory Land" the new
national song by w. B. Robinson.
We advise all of our friends to get a
COPY The words are stirring and
Notwithstanding to promote love of
country, home and native land. 1t
should be sung in every home in the
nation and is appropriate for public
meetings. As to the music we are
not qualified to judge. We can never
strike tune-except croSsways, but
feel assured it is in keeping with the
words. We congratulate Mr.. Robin
son upon the timely appearance of his
song and bespeak for it a wide popu-
larity.
So far as the WORLD is concerned
we have never seen the official bond
of Supt. A S. Peacock. 1t was not
filed in our office as intimated by the
Independent. Republican officers are
not controlled in their actions by
their party paper. This is contra
distinction which the Independent
and its friends have overlooked and
which led to It's mistake. As to the
bond in question, the evidence offered
in trial of the Peacock-Balcom custer
case showed conclusiyely that such
bond had been duly given, approved,
filed and recorded, and the only
reason it had not gone through the
hands of the county clerk, was be-
cause he refused to perform his duties
although present and cognizant of it's
approval. The Independent can easily
get at facts and tell the truth about |
this bond-just for change.
The district court of Trego county |
convened last Tuesday morning |
