troubles galore in our prosperous little
city of Stark, over on the east side.
Our Kansas law makers are getting
down to business in earnest II the
number of bills they are introducing
is any criterion.
The boys who visit Topeka say that
Alt Gibson drops into his new duties
as natural as though he were an Ola
hand at the business.
Len Barber is now acting as editor
in-chief of the Blade during the ao-
s. IT, Bro. Roc at Topeka, atten-
Idiug is official duties.
The lecture last Saturday night by
John Temple Graves was master
piece of oratory. Every young man

is receiving from the various states of
the union are inquiries for stock in
the "Patent Milk Cooler" he is adver-
Using?
Senator Farrelly and. Representa-

Guess they are not taking much hand
in assisting the Governor to divide up
the spoil.

Neosho County needs new court
house and Jail. The buildings we
have are unsightlY uncomfortable and
insufficient. For two years Erie has

seat. 1t is about time for the citizens
of this county to realize the fact that
