TRIED TO HOLD HIM UP.

Recently young man who had
been working for DR.. Wisner of
Sharon township stopped the
Doctor on his return home from
Medicine Lodge, on the public
highway and demanded some
money. At first he wanted SIS
but finally consented to let the
Doctor off if he would give him
one dollar. DR.. Wisner thought
the terms satisfactory, under the
circumstances, and began to "dig"
for the S. The young man at this
moment released his hold from the
team and Mr.. Wisner put the whip
to the horses and got away. The
officers are looking for the young
man and if he is found he will be
prosecuted. 1t is thought that he
left the country. He worked on
the Wisner ranch only short time.
We did not learn his name.

AN OLD TIMER GONE.

Hi Dyer, brother of Thomas /.
Dyer of Labelle, Oklahoma, died
at his home near Sedan, Chau-
tauqua county, Kansas, April 27,
aged about 81 years. He was
foreman of one of the old O. E..
cattle camps of Gregory, Eldred
& Company, from 1879 to 1887.
1t was his little three-year-old boy
that wandered from the camp in
Bent canyon II miles northeast of
Camp Supply and after soldiers
and cowboys had searched through
rain, snow and sleet for four
days and five nights, he was found
dying, several miles from home.
The incident occurred early in
November 1888 and Scott Cum
minis, the Pilgrim Bard, has made
it the subject of one of the most
pathetic ballads of the plains,
beginning with the lines,
THE lonely Cimarron is sweeping,
Above its bed Of shifting sands

MEMORIAL EXERCISES.
May 29th and 30th set Apart to Fitting.
ly Observe and Commemorate
our Sacred Dead.

Arrangements for Memorial and
Decoration Day exercises were
completed at the meeting of the
q. A. R. on Saturday. The
Memorial services will be held at
the opera house On Sunday morn
ing, May 29th, beginning at II
o'clock, a. m, all churches uniting
and all of the ministers in the city
participating in the services. The
Memorial sermon will be preached
by Elder A. 0. Walker, pastor of
the Christian church. Special
music will be provided. Fraternal
and civic orders are requested to
attend in a body and a general
invitation to the public is cordially
extended.
The members of the G. A. r.
and all old soldiers ore requested
to meet at the hall at 1000 a. m.
prompt, and march to the opera
house in a body.
On Monday, the goth, is Decora-
tion Day. Every old soldier who
can, is invited and urged to meet
at the hall-the former Woodward
building-on Main street opposite
the Citizens State Bank, where the
line of march will be formed at
10 o'clock a. m, and proceed to
the cemetery. Fraternal orders
and all other persons are requested
to join the procession and assist
in making this occasion a glorious
and an imposing one.
All are requested to bring flowers
to strew on the graves of their dear
ones in the Silent City.
The Memorial address will be
delivered by Samuel Griffin at the
opera house at one o'clock D. m.
Mrs. Griffin will have charge of
the music.
The ritualistic service of the G..
A. r. will be observed both at the
opera house and at the cemetery, in
connection with the exercises.
Let everybody attended these
services. The earnestness with
which the old veterans take hold of
this great day each year is worthy
OF hearty commendation and it
should be deemed a pleasure for all
to assist them and cooperate with
them in this laudable work. We
hope to see many people from the
country in the city on these occa-
Slons.

VOLUNTEERS WANTED.

The members of the G. A. R.
have taken it upon themselves to
appoint a day to do some work on
the cemetery and to this end they
request that all old soldiers and
citizens generally who are in
sympathy with the movement and
desire to assist in the work, meet
at the G. A. R. hall on Friday
morning, May 27th, and all 60 to
the cemetery together. The move
ment is certainly worthy of the
hearty cooperation of all the peo-
pie and there should be a liberal
response to the call which our old
soldier friends have issued.

Costly Meals.

The eostliest meal ever served, as fal
as history shows, was a supper given
by Aelin Verus, one of the most Law.
fish Of the latter day Roman aristocrats
The supper was only intended for a
dozen persons, yet its cost was 5000
sestertia, which would amount to f4S,-
900 in English money, or nearly quar-
ter Of million dollars.
The celebrated feast given by Vitel-
Illus, Roman emperor of those degen-
crate days, to his brother Lucius cost a
fraction over 100000. Suetonius says
that this banquet consisted Of 1000 diff
ferent dishes of fish and 1000 different
fowls, besides other courses in proper

world, did not reign very long. Other
wise the game preserves Of Libya,

here that 1t is recorded as curious
point of history that a single dish on
the table Of the Emperor HeliogabaIus
was worth 100000.

In few moments the colonel re-

careworn look and bent shoulders, cast
q glance Of hatred at the general which
seemed to entitle him to the epithet
Cromwell had bestowed upon him. To
this silent defiance Cromwell paid no

With a deep sigh Of relief Armstrong
sheathed his sword and lifted his hat
from the floor. Cromwell rose from

in his march, looked up at the dim gal

Armstrong red anger flushing his
brow. The hot border blood sprang
into mastery for the first time during
their controversy. and he failed to note
that Cromwell remained cold as at the
beginning, and might be negotiated
with, if he had remembered the COM
mander's resolve to enlist the Scot in
his service. But before the general
could give hint of bargain, the Inn
petuousity Of the younger man left
him only the choice of killing the Scot
where he stood, or apparently succumb-
ing to him, most dangerous alterna-
tive had Armstrong to deal with one
less schooled in the repression Of his
feelings than Cromwell. The L, ad.
vised borderer dropped his hat silently
to the floor, flashed forth his sword
and presented 1t at his opponents
throat.
"They tell me you wear concealed

""And thanks. no doubt, to your own
loyal courage. God bless you, SIR, and
God save the king. The lady you have
chosen is worthy Of you, as you Of her.
In Gods shattered temple will marry
you, If its walls remain"
When the colonel came In with
Frances the girl turned frightened
look upon the group as she saw who
stood there.
"Oh," she cried impulsively. II told
you not to come"
"'Tis you who are to obey. not he,"
said Cromwell harshly. ''He has come
for you. Will you marry himT
The girl allowed her eyes to seek the
floor and did not answer him. Even In
the candle light her cheeks burned rosy
red.
"Come, come" cried Cromwell Inn
patiently, Eyes, or no, wench."
II will not have her SO addressed by
any," spoke up Armstrong, stoutly
stepping forward, but the girl flashed
q glance from her dark eyes on the
commander.
"Yes," she said, with decision, then
directed her look on her lover, and SO
to the floor again.
With that Cromwell strobe out and
led the way to the chapel, SO hastily
converted from storehouse to Its for
mer purpose. The old divine took his
place with the young people before
him. the group Of officers in the DIM
ness near the door. Cromwell, now
ever, stood near the girl.
"Slip off one Of your rings and give
It to this pastor" he whispered to her.
"We are short Of such gear here. and
I doubt if your man ever thought OF
it."
Frances, without word, selected
from the number on her fingers that
which had been her mothers wedding
ring, and handed it to the clergyman.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered to-

in the face of this congregation, to

AS the sonorous words resounded in
the ancient chapel the old man
Strengthened himself, the former anger

expression and his attitude took On all
the grave dignity of his calling. He
went on with the service until he came
