A delegation of ladies from Gas
City was here Friday asking for little
gifts from the merchants for bazaar

church in that town. One of the

E. w. Hall was hobbling about
town Friday, the first time he has
been on the street for a week. On his

striking him or the leg and in the
chest and knocking him clear across
the alley. He has been laid up ever
since until Friday.
One lola man has an idea that the
new court house ought to be built to
conform to the Kansas breezes. He
would not make it square, as most
court houses, but would make it long
east and west. The lower floor would
be devoted to county offices and the
upper floor to the court room. In
this way easy access could be had to
all the rooms without trouble. 1t
looks like good idea.

pie OF laughter caused by this remark
was changed to roar when Senator
Proctor, of Vermont, said in his deep
bass: eyes. and we all vote"

this line and the cures which he has
accomplished are advertising his
method and his business is growing.

mark to show that he has had the
smallpox. His domestic troubles have
apparently been settled, both he and
