The Solitary Rorsemen.

1t was a glorious autum day in the
far west. The sun in its majestic
splendor had encircled the heavens and
was softly dropping into the embracing
arms of Morpheus. The tinckling of
the bells could be heard on the bill side
as the herds lazily turned their heads
hOmeward. The breeZes softly ruStled
the leaves on the majestic trees, as
though singing a lullaby to the twitter
ing birds in the overhanging bougbs.
All nature seemed hushed and at re-
pose, and peace spread her soft mantle
over the universe.
a solitary horseman, heavily armed,
and mounted on a foam faxed steed,
was seen to emerge from the forest
that skirted the valley, and Eesolntely
turning his face toward the west,
strike the trail toward the mountain
peaks. On and on he went. over huge
boulders, around steep precipices that
overhung deep and yawning abysses,
the steel shod hoofs of his mighty
charger laundering over the flinty
rocks, shooting forth flashes of fire that
seemed to mark the course of demon.
On and up he rushed in his mad ride
among the clouds, until he mounted
the summit of the highest peak, where
with his figure distinctly outlined
against the deep red Of the setting sun,
standing forth as though chiseled in
marble, he was seen to lean forward
| and shading his brow with his hand,
gaze long and earnestly toward the
east, then pass on and down on the
other side, and that same evening one
thousand people assembled at the opera
house to hear Alba Haywood, the
| Prince of Comedians, and his Peerless
Company. It is hopful the same thing
will happen when he appears here in

Sterling doubtless has the kind of
dogs that Governor Leedy speaks about
in the opening passages of his message,
and they take the Sterling churches for

ed by the council, took charge of af-
fairs at the January meeting. The de-
partment comprises sixteen members,
all active and determined men, some of
them having been members of the de-
partment for the last ten years
The organization is wholely a volun-
tary one. but the members thereof take
especial pride in turning out promptly
upon every call. They are under the
direction of the city ordinances, and
are paid 81 each when they attend a
fire and throw water. AS a rule they
are called to run to fire about FIVE
the hydrants by reason of the fire being
put out with buckets, to one time that
the hydrants are used. Up to the fire
of last week there had been six of what
the boys call "dry runs" since the last
time they drew pay for their services.
The officers. and positions of the
different members for the present year
are as follows:
Department Chief, F. J. Kramer.
Assistant Chief, L. B. Wilcox.
Foreman, Will E. Stoke.
Assistant Foreman. A. Wimmergren.
Secretary, I. N. Wilhide.
Treasurer, Robert A. Ewalt. u
Fire Marshal, c. @. Morrison.

Wilson, ]. G. Frank and Joe Shaffer.
Plugmen-A. H. Schaeffer, D. c.
Glissman.
Linemen-Fred- Walker. c. V,
Brinkman.
The department. meets on the last
Friday of each month, at the hose
house where they have pleasant little
room. The business transactions are
governed by a constitution and by laws,
and 10 cents a month dues are paid by
each member to keep up a fund for in
| ci''ental expenses. Each member of
the department carries a thousand dol
lar accident policy, the premiums being
paid out of a fund received from the
state insurance fund, the ''Great Bend
Fireman's Relief Association" having
been organized in accordance with the
law to handle such fund.
Our citizens as general thing have
shown their appreciation of the city FIRE
department. and we hope that the fu-
|
maintained between the citizens, the
council and the members of the depart.
ment that has obtained in the past.

Kinsley got ''skeered" last week
when it was discovered that some one
had broken inio the old powder house,
taken the dynamite stored therein and
scattered it about the neighborhood,

was found to be the work of the naugh-
ty small boys who were prying about
and found the door open. Not
knowing the properties of the article
they were mOnkeying with they pro-
ceeded, with the assistance of an old
bottle and block of wood, to break it
up in pieces convenient for carrying in

fact that it was frozen, there might be
many more white robed figures around
