only point them to One who is Him.
self touched by our griefs and who can
heal the broken in lfeart and put rest
in the soul of all that lay the burden
at His feet.
Mrs. Kendall was a christian and
died i'm the christian faith and as the
poet has well said, dying is only go
ing home,'' SO she has only laid the
warefare and entered into her Home
= Rest.
She had the comfort of her sons and
daughters during her last hours and
they were able to minister to her as
only children of loved mother can.
Her husband was constantly at her
side.

The State Teachers association
which convened at Topeka. December
%, 1902, was a success in every way.
1t is reported that two thousand were
in attendance and one thousand en-
rolled The teachers received most
cordial welcome. The Commercial
club gave a reception to the teachers
on Monday evening. Crane s. Co. re-
ceived the teachers on Tuesday and
the entire plant was put in working
order for their benefit. On Wednes-
day a special train carried the teach
ers to the Industrial school. Here the
teachers were entertained by music
by the boys and an exhibition of their
work which proved most interesting.
All this together with an excellent
program well paid the teachers for
their trip. The perfect weather and
the holiday trim of e-city also added
to their enjoyment.
Those present from this county
were: Eliza Countrymah, Ed Curtis
and the county superintendent. Luz
ther and Baker Countryman, who are
teachers in Ness county, were also
present. HATTIE }. KIRBY,

Reminiscent.

Do you remember what was going
on arcnnd these diggin's six years ago
just about now? Six years ago next
officers was getting ready to step
down and out-tllat is, some of them
were. A number of fusionists were
waiting and willing, even eager to
turn the rascals outn but now, well
now it's different.
Six years ago this week snow was
drifted to the top of the balk posts at
the court yard entrance. 1t filled all
the draws and blockaded the roads
making travel across the country al
most impossible and yet people came
to town because two contest courts
were grinding along and everybody
wanted to know what sort of grist
would be turned out. One was to de-
eide. the fate OF a county commission
er and the other a superintendent.
) Barclay and Musgrave, down in the
First district, had been candidates for
commissioner and each claimed to be
sit" while Marquand, the retiring
commissioner, insisted that it was
neither. It turned out to be both OF
them, first one and then the other,
for time Balcomb and Peacock
were scrapping over the office of SUI
perintendent.
Who were the principal actors in
the political drama. farce or comedy,
it was not tragedy, that was enact
ed here in those first days of January,
1897? And what has become of all of
them? 1t would take too much space
to answer the first question fully and
the second is too hard for US but we'll
make a stagger at both just for the
sake of comparison and contrast.
Commissioners Musgrave. MarQuand
Barclay, Swiggett and Hinshaw are
all with US yet but all are private cit

Last Wednesday morning bold
theft took place at the Hopper res
5anrant. A strange young fellow
staid all night at the restaurant and
next morning Matte Flyr went to
her room to get some articles she
wished to take home. In the room
was the young man making most of
the opportunity. He told Miss Flyr
that he went In there to comb his
hair. She went hastily down stairs
and notified Sheriff Hobbick whose
place of business is next door to the
restaurant The man was making
tracks southwest, and the sheriff got
on a horse and in few minutes over
took him. He was escor ted before
County Attorney Nelson where a
thorough search was made. He had
stolen 80 from Miss Flyr but only
$50 could be found in his shoe. Sew
eral pocket knives. razor and some
gold link cuff buttons were also found.
The superstition is that he threw the
ten dollar bill away with hopes that
ssis guilt could not be proven. He was
tined $500 and costs and placed in
fail until same is paid.

The Saline Valley Hunt.

BY THE EEST SIDE POET.
The hunt Is DER and we are sore,
That's what the west side say.
We did not expect tie do any more
But shuttle out the pay.
But when they begin to puff and blow
And write it down in black,
Seventeen shots at an owl know
is not bringing down the jack.
OF course they beat US two to one,
To that we will agree,
We did not try our luck for fun
AS you will some day see.
The first game is the babies game
AS all the people know,
rFheseast side boys5knuw how to aim
If,they don't know how to crow.
We had that day the hunters luck
Was tired and had wet feet, =
But bring along your hungry -
And we'll fill it up complete.
We know the poet of those lines
Before these words were spun,
Now boys, doU't cut up no money
. shines
And Johnnie get your gun.
So boys don't get too funny,
Be careful what you say,
And practice up, my sonny
For some future hunting day.

Lost in the Mountains.

A special dispatch sent out from Flagstaff dated October 19, says;
 Word reached here tonight that Leo Verkamp and Mabel Brown, who were lost in the lava beds on Sunday, were found at a ranch Is miles northwest of Flagstaff, on the opposite side of San Francisco peak from their starting point and about fifty miles out of the way. In los ing the road, they became confused and followed the mountains to the right instead of to the left. They spent the entire night travelling, and were nearly exhausted from expo sure and thirst. It is feared the experience will yet result seriously with Miss Brown, who has recently recovered from a sick spell.
 The party was made up for a trip to Sunset crater in honor of Miss Brown, who is visiting her brother who is head bookkeeper for the Ar izona Lumber and Timber Compa- ny, of this place. They reached their destination safely and after some time spent in exploring the crater they prepared for their return.
 MT. Verkamp and Miss Brown were on horseback, in advance of the remainder of the party, who were driving. This was the last seen of the couple. Those in the rig went on home. thinking the couple on horseback were in ad- vance. A searching party was out all night but failed to locate the missing ones and returned for re- achievements and several large par ties were at once started to the vii cinity. MT. Verkamp is cashier of Rabbit Brothers large mercantile house.

BECAUSE of the fight Tom Weedin, of the Florence Blade, put up for the San Carlos dam in preference to the Tonto dam, and lost, mum Der of the Phoenix papers keeps jabbing at him shamefully. The following from the Arizona Cattle man is a fair sample: ''Editor Tom Weedin sat in his easy chair light ing his pipe on his auburn hair. A halo shown over his face so fair, but his knees were out and his feet were bare. And he sang a song both sad and sweet, while the flies died all around his feet, for he had no grub in his shop to eat, and the ground was all covered with sleet. Now, what in the world was the cuss to do? He had eaten the paste and swallowed the glue; he hadn't a drink, he hadn't chew. And the band played on." There is one thing sure, none can call Tom Weedin a ouitter.
