Eta Jane Echoes.

Eta Jane, Jan. %. The weather
still continues too wet for out door
work and our farmers are getting be-
hind.
The Fowler Brothers are not
through gathering corn yet.
Miss Ella Davidson, who has been
missionary to China for seven years
and now at home for her health, will
give lecture at Salem church on
the 3lst inst at II o'clock IN. Ac-
cording to the rules men will be ex-
celIed and only women and small
children will be admitted. We be-
speak for her full house. One half
hours talk from her will give our
people a better idea Of the missionary
work tlian they will learn in forty
years in the old way about which so
many Of us care so little.
The c. e. Society met at II. J.
kirby's yesterday evening. A full
house attended.
Mr.. +. NJ. Burr, an agent Of the
P. O. Department was in this section
last week looking after the mail
service. lie says the department IL
tends to give us the best possible
service. Certainty and security being
its object, to that end he is engaged
and is at work. The present admin.
istration intends to stop nothing short
Of abs lutte perfection if that end is
possible to bc obtained. The gov
ernment intends to hold riders and
mail contractors strictly to their
duties, and postmassers are required
to report the kind of service they get
and whether the riders are temperate
or trustworthy. This is far in ad-
vance of any ruling ever taken by
the department heretofore. Bad
roads will be no excuse for failure if
bad stock are employed. This is ex-
actly what is wanted. 1t has come
t>a point where too much rccklessness
and irresponsibility enters into the
mail service and professional bid
ders and contractors who have ruined
the service will no longer have a
picnic. We are glad t, know that
the Postoffice department is stirred
up on this matttr, and that better
service is now guaranteed than here
toforc. Mr.. Burr's object is to see
that the country sections get their
rights and if the people who have
not had their justice didn't help him
ito better their condition it would be
their own fault.
We wero someW hat disappointed
last week that the teachers column
did not put in its appearance in The
Times. Hope the teachers Of Union
county will move to tue front in this
| g and work, and by benefittin2 others
they benefit thems .lves.
We are glad to find that our old
friends j. G. Wallace and j. c. Otis
have established law oflico in our
county. While we arc not fussy
people We hope they will get Il tair
dividcn of the public patronage in
their profession.

PADDY SHEA ON TRIAL
Judge Dale Refuses TO Grant Further
Continuance.

The Paddy Shea case came up for trial
yesterday. Messrs. Adams and Vermilion
presented a motion for continuance. but
Judge Dale overruled II. Anna Hanson.
the much-wanted witness for the defense
IS still missing, and Pit Hlbbard Is behind
the bars Of an Oklahoma jail. so the de-
tense claimed that they were not ready TO
begin the trial Amidon and Con.y filed
the affidavit Of Anna Wlr3ley. IN which
she states that the defense has not en-
deavored TO secure the body of the Han
son woman. An affidavit by Detective
Sutton says that the defendant has not
recently come 10 him asking him 20 Try 10

gave as his opinion that there was a lack
Of evidence on the part Of the defense, and
consequently overruled the motion.

Seventy-Five Couples Partici-
pate in the Amusement.

The much talked-of and anxiously look
ed-for Valentine social and charity bah
took place at Sedgwick Music hall last
evening under the auspices of the ladies

given in Wichita. There were seventy

Of the occasion. The large and elegant
music haH-a picture within itself-was
thronged with the gay and Handsomely

around the entire space Of the dancing
hall, with clusters of flowers here and
there, consisting Of palms, evergreens

ing. Across the hall, in the music rooms

whist, and the room was crowded. The
resfreshment room was at the end Of the
hall Il, too, was artisticany decorated
with flowers and fineries, and the re-
freshments were of a high quality. The
ladies Of the Wichita hospital deserve
much credit for the energy displayed in
