of thing may please the war office but
it doesn't end the war.

AT 1890 Friday evening. Oct. 4,
1901. James Albert Duncan breathed
his last. at his home in the northwest

The deceased was born in Indiana

marriage with Sophia c. Hamilton in
the year 1880. Together they came to
Great Bend in June 1885. A sorrow
ing wife and four children survive him.
While his life of forty and more
years was temptestuous one it was
not without its lessons. For over 10
years his home was in Great Bend,
and we do not believe there is a man,
woman or child in this locality who
can say that Jim Duncan Intentionally
did them an injury. He has raised a
family of most excellent children. who,
with the Borrowing wife and mother
will treasure the memory of his kind.

BUGGIES.

A few years ago buggies were con.
sidered a luxury and any one who
had buggy, carriage or phaeton was
considered pretty we'll to- do while
some looked upon them as ''quite
high toned" But now days every
one can have buggy for instead Of
costing $3.50 to $500 each, you can
buy one from $50 to 800 that will
be thoroughly guaranteed.
We are selling buggies today for
so to 500 that sold, a number of
years ago, for s12O to $50 Buggies
that are selling today at this price
are just as good as those that were
sold, number of years ago, at double
price being made of the very best
material and in fact in heater and
nicer style. They are fully warranted
and guaranteed in every respect.
Any one buying Moon or Parry
buggy of us will be thoroughly pro.
tected as to its quality and durability.
No person can afford to be with out

full an article as most anything on
the farm or in the household.
They not only give pleasure and
enjoyment to those using them. but
give health and longer life.

Messrs. r. p. Campbell, Jas. A. Hood
and %. II. Mullen, who were appointed

signed their final report in the matter at
Il meeting Monday. The report divides
the land as follows OF the Benn Il Ho, .
kins plat j. $. Book receives blocks /
and 7-23 lots in all; the Hopkins estate {:
blocks 3, 4, 5, and go lots Sam Benn
block 2, containing 10 lots. The Hop
kins estate gets Il piece 900 feet X 6G0
feet west OF the former piece, and }. $.
Book 275x660 feet still further west.
The north half OF the south half of the
southeast quarter was divided as follows !:
J. S. Book, easterly ego feet; Hopkins
estate; westerly 1850 feet; Sam Benn !;
$50 feet in width between the two former
pieces. The balance of the section was
divided according to government sub-di-
visions, the Hopkins estate receiving 300
acres, j. $. Book 14O acres and Sam Benn
20 acres.
This property has been in litigation
for a number of years, and its develop
ment has been retarded in consequence.
1t lies in the northern part of the city
on the highland, and is pretty sure to
be acceptable to all the parties, so there
is no doubt that it will be ratified by the
court. When this is done, part of it will
be plated and placed on the market.

The grave is not the end of man, but

life was gentle and the highest compli-

MORE PRESS OPINION.
Concerning the JackIes Charge Of Contempt
Against the Herald.

Col. Carney, OF Aberdeen, took occa-
sion to criticise Judge Irwins decision
in county printing case recently, and
now his enemies, which every newspaper
which amounts to anything must have,
would like to rib up case OF contempt
OF court but if Judge Irwin is as wise as
we think he is he will let it alone. The
article was couched in respectful terms
and harmed nobody. We don't know
Col. Carney personally but we do admire
a scrapper, man who does something.
Such man may do the wrong thing
often but he is bound to be right more
than half the time.-South Bend Journal.
The Chronicle believes in upholding
the courts, but it does not believe in the
methods often employed to punish peo-
pie who have harshly criticised judicial
officers. Ii man publishes an article
or makes statement against Judge
that will weaken TIE force of his decisions
the Chronicle believes that the ordinary
laws Of libel will afford ample relief, and
at the same time uphold the dignity OF
the court; but on the contrary, Il resort
to proceeding Tor contempt OF court too
often brings the judge who starts them
into something nearly akin to contempt
on the part OF the people at large.-Eima
