Judge SChOOnOyer al lola.

We are glad to note that our fellow
townsman, Judge Manford Schoonover,
pleased the people of lola by his address
ON the Fourth. The lola Register gives
the speech quite write-up, and, IN part,
SAYS:
"Iudgc Maniord Schoonover made a
splendid speech 1t was nearly one hour
long, but there were more people listen
ing when he closed than when he began,
and that is rare compliment for a
Fourth of July. He paid a fine tribute
to the pioneers of Kansas and to the
old soldiers, and I'm short, he made first
class, non-partizan, patriotic speech
which everybody enjoyed. "
The lola Record in commenting upon
the speech says;
Those who were fortunate enough to
be able to hear the speech OF Hon Man
ford Schoonovcr, of Garnctt, listened tt
one of the most eloquent and mastery
addresses that has been heard here since
Governor Anthony spoke, many years
ago. The Record said at the time Tho
committee secured MIR. Schoonover thai
, they were fortunate, and his speech yes
terday was evidence that the paper was
RIGHT. Mr.. Schoonover has clear anc
ringing voice that made it possible toi
the audience to hear him above the dir
of the confusion on the edge of the crowd,
Mr.. Schooner was frequently interrupted
by applause, and, at the conclusion o
his address, was congratulated by every
one within reach"

Words OF Respect from Delphian
Lodge, No. A, A. F. & A. M.

WHEREAS, 1t having pleased an all wise
Providence to relieve one of our brethren
of allearthly trouble and suffering, and,in
so doing, has removed from our midst
Brother Townsend, Il most devoted hus-
band, father and citizen, by death; and
WHEREAS, While in his death, to him,
there was no sting, yet, we most keenly
feel the loss of one who has so long filled
his place with such iaithfulness. We
therefore, as his brethren here, as far as
possible, express these feelings. We mourn
his loss. We feel his abscdcc. We know
that his place among men will be hard
to fully re-occupy, and that his example
is worthy our emulation.
To his bcreavcd family and friends we
extend our most heartfelt sympathy,
and while we offer these our weak words
of consolation, we also spread them up
on the journal Of our proceedings, that
those who come after him may know
not only that he lived, but that we loved
and respected him.
