A Great Proposition.

The fact that so many persons
are becoming owners of homes in
our city is causing that subject to
be thoroughly discussed. 1t is sur
prising that man may become the
actual owner of $1,000 home for
only a few dollars each month, and
that the promoters of this plan
charge no interest whatever. The
only expense that Is involved
amounts to less than one half of
one per cent per annum. The
Washington Home company, under
Marble bank, is offering such a
proposition.

went. Watch him and see.-Lawrence World.
In the eyes Of the editor Of the World, the
whole sum Of human happiness is to "belong
to party" and 'git offs" once in a while.
St. John has done more good, with voice aud

than at any other time in his life. Bryan will
do the same. Indeed, he is doing more good
since he quit the political arena as an active
candidate than at any time in the past. There
are emo strings to him." He is independent,
and is in position to educate the people up to
higher political and moral plane. St. John

the Garrett cemetery.
We intended to write something of our recol-

Kirk, but an ADLER pen than ours has written
it, and we re-publish from the Evening News
glowing tribute to a longtime associate and
intimate friend:
"The subject Of this sketch was born in
Hubbard, Ohio, in I84I. He moved with his
father, Caleb Kirk, to Mercer county, Pennsyl.
vania, when about seven years of age. He en-.
listed as private in Company G, 100 Pennsyl-
vania volunteers, in September, 1861; was
promoted to drst sergeant, then lieutenant, and
was mustered out as captain, After his dis.
charge from the army, he read law, and was
admitted TO practice in Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
He came to Kansas in 1866, and settled in
Garrett. Here, he married Miss Matte Lind.

were not always in accord with the opinions OF
his friends, but he was usually right He be-

commercial world was above reproach: his word
was as good as his bond. He located in our

day morning bA cutting his throat. The
act was committed with an extremely
dull pocket knife which he procured in
some way from P. c. Sortwell, one of

rowed the knife Friday to cut his corns
as he had done on previous occasions.
The fact that he had the knife was over
looked and he was allowed to keep it
over night. Early in the morning Depu-
ty Sheriff Worthen went into the main
corridor of the Jail and unlocked the cells
as usual, but did not notice that any,
thing was wrong with Buck, as his cell
was rather dark. A little later some of
the inmates noticed that something was
wrong with Buck and Mr.. Worthen was
called, He found him with his throat
cut from ear to ear but the wound was
not deep enough to insure death. He
had bed profusely and was very weak,
but not unconscious. Medical aid was
summoned and it was thought best to
remove him to hospital. He was taken
to Brightook and the wound was sewed
up, He is still there and every precau-
ton is taken to prevent any attempt to
escape. He is shackled to the bed and is
constantly in charge of an attendant.
He is still very weak from loss OF blood,
but there is little doubt of his recovery.
