Liquor Captured.

1t having been suspicioned that
Jess Lanam was ''bootlegging" for
some time, search and seizure war
rant was issued last week after the
arrest of the Lanams, and their tents
and wagons searched. About 10 or
IL gallons of liquor was siezed and
is in possession of the County At
toiney. The liquor will probably
be destroyed in the event that no
one appears and claims same by
showing that same was not used for
illegal purposes, etc., The same is
a very poor quality-the kind which
would irritate a jack-rabbit to fero-
cious warfare. 1t should certainly
be destroyed.

"Mr. B. w. Jaquith, of this city,
and Miss Pearl Wiley, of Medicine

Hydraulic Avenue, last Wednesday
evening by Rev. A. E. Dubber.
ga wedding march was rendered
by Miss Beatrice Rouse. The quiet

only friends and relatives of the con-
tracing parties. Mr.. and Mrs.
Jaquith are well and favorably
known in this city. Mr.. Jaquith
having had charge of large terri
tory in Southern Kansas as a repre-
sentative for the Deering Harvester
Co., of Chicago for the past four
years, with headquarters at Wichita.
Mrs. Jaquith was raised as the fam
Gus old town of Medicine Lodge,

that fitted her for a school teacher,
and has taught school for several
years in Barber county.
"Mr. and Mrs. Jaquith left i'm

Bau8hman Goes TO Plains.

From The Cheney, (Ks.) Sentinel.
MIR. John Baughman, who has for
the past year, been connected with
the real estate firm of Freeman &
Freeman, of Wichita, Kansas, has
formed partnership with Mr.. Don
T. Edwards, of Plains, Kansas, hav-
ing built a new Office fitting it up
with furniture becoming a modern
real estate office.
Mr.. Baughman goes to Plains
with full faith in the future of Meade
county-a faith that it will become
one of the greatest wheat belts
in southwestern Kansas, and has
shown his faith by his works-hav-
ing purchased some two thousand
acres of land within the county. He
has been IN the past characterizedas as
tireless, energetic worker, and,
like Mr.. Edwards, has been success
full in his interchangeable, in a
large measure to his having made a
study of values, and acting only af-
ter mature deliberation. That he
has pinned his faith to Meade coun-
ty land, is only an indication that
it is the best opportunity his varied
and wide search could locate.
Both young men-both hustlers-
both knowing their work thoroughly,
we besperk for them the success
which has in the past marked their
eff orts. Mr.. Edwards has been a
resident of the county for II years,
Mr.. Baughman has resided in this
county for the past "a years. The
firm name will be Edwards & Baugh-
man, and their 'latchstring" always
hangs on the outside of their den.
They have already located many
people on Government lands. Some
have gone from our vicinity, and
like Mr.. Baughman, are enthusiastic
over the prospects. John will afford
any one information in regard to the
country, and look after the interests
of all readers of the Cheney Senti-
mel at any time. He's a good fell
low to follow.

ED. KRAGH DEAD.
Tha Bullet Wound Received Tues
day Night, Week, Proves Fatal.

Ed Kragh died Tuesday afternoon
about 4:I5 from the effects of the
bullet wound received a week ago
Tuesday night during the trouble be-
tween Marshal Martin and Homer
Lanam. The incident was detailed
in these columns last week. Mr..
Kragh was standing on the north
side of the square about fifty feet
from Martin and Lanam and a ball
accidentally struck him in the ab-
dominal region and passed through
the body. The ball was extracted
about three inches from the spinal
column. For several days he seem
ed to be improving, and Monday
strong hopes were entertained for
his recovery, but Tuesday about
noon he took sinking spell and he
gradually grew weaker until he died.
MT, kragh was only 23 years OF age
and a young man who was first
class citizen. He has been a resi-
dent of Odee twp. for a number of
years, residing there with his moth
er and two sisters.
The remains were taken to Odee
Tuesday evening and the funeral
services held at the German Luth-
ern Church Wednesday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Eschbach. The
interrment was made in the Odee
Cemetery.
This was, indeed, a very sad af-
fair, and purely accidental, and a
result of the trouble with Lanam.
The people of the entire county SYM
pathize with the Kragh family in
loss of son and brother.

E. w. JENKINS,
Past Post Commander.
The city schools closed last Fri
day afternoon. We are sorry to say
that harmony between Prof. Mccoy
and the teachers and some of the
patrons has not prevailed. The ex-
act cause of this state of affairs, we
would not attempt to detail, for in
the first place, a school wrangle is
the very worst kind that person
can mix in, and second, that every
person interested will insist that his
or her side of the question is the
right one and will forever hold en-
nifty toward anyone who takes the
opposite side. We never did, and
don't propose now, to take any part
in the controversy. But there is one
thing we will say and proposition
which can not be disputed, that no
organization can be conducted sue
cessfully without harmony and CO.
operation on the part of the leaders,
or in school work, on the part OF
the teachers. Every failure in any
walk of life can be traced directly to
discord, strife and lack of organiza-
ton on the parts of the parties in
terested. There is no truer maxim
than, "United, we stand; divided, we
fall" This is applicable in school
work, and was entirely lacking il
the schools here this year. In this
connection, many times, great per
sonal sacrifices are necessary, that
harmony may prevail and a school
be successfully taught. We sincere
ly hope that these conditions viii
not exist in our schools next year
They are unpleasant to everyone.
and do the school no good. Lei
everyone strive for unity, for we
can never have a successful schoo
until we do.
