A KANSAS EDITOR STABBED.
wathenia and Troy Citizens Talk Of
Lynching a Drunken Negro.

Wathenia, kas., Feb. 23.-Pool
Grinstead, editor OF the Wathenia
Times, was stabbed and dangerously
wounded by a drunken negro named
Frank Warner. Here and at Troy,
where the negro has been placed in
jail, there is talk Of lynching.
M. Grinstead, on account of.polit.
ical controversy in Doniphan county,
was convicted OF libel and served a
ear in 10000 in the county Jail.
He rdiIrl his paper from the Jail,
Grinstead's troubles date back to
the ju iicial fight in the Doniphan
Nemaha Brown county district,
when Judge Emery was defeated and
Judge W. |. Stuart nominated and
elected.
Grinstead offered to support Stuart
and testified before the Kansas state
senate that he received $40 from
Stuart in consideration OF the sup
port which his party paper was to
give Stuart, and that after receiving
the $40 he came out IN favor of Fal-
loon, Judge Stuart's opponent. 1t
seems that Grinstead demanded a
share Of the county printing, and
also asked Stuart's friends to take
care Of the mortgage on the paper
Failing in this, h. turned against
Stuart and Immediately opened q
vigorous war on "the Leland gang"
as he termed it. Grinstead is a writ
er OF ability.

The School Boards Perplexity.

the school board is somewhat per.

ing successor for the retiring teach.
er. 1t is said that sixteen of the sew
enteen remaining lady teachers have
sent in requests for transfer to this
room to complete the school term. II
correctly reported this action on the
part OF our excellent corps of school
marms shows g commendable will
ingness to ever sacrifice comfort and
convenience in the interest of their
home schools and a disposition on
their part which the school board
undoubtedly highly appreciates. The
fact, that within the past few years,
half dozen or more teachers have
left that particularroom to get mar
ried, cuts no figure whatever in this
case.-Rich Hill Review.

son Of J. W. Shelton, viii be glad to

several hundred hands and the posi-.
tion as manager is an important
one, and young Shelton has worked
his way to it by close application to
business. a few years ago he started
in with the company asa roustabout
Mt salary of six dollars a week and
gradually worked his way up until
year ago when he was promoted to
the position OF b )okkeeper and upon
the resignation OF the manager
short time ago, the directors found
it to their interest to appoint him
general manager. This is another
example of the success of poor boy
who was willing to do even little
things well
