Any of our subscribers who fail

this Office and reporting the same.
A letter from Geo. Robinson,
Portland, Oregon, says he is well
and getting along o. K. He also
sent US a paper which we found in
teresting.
Ira D. Smith returned home last
Saturday morning from Hutchinson
Kansas where he has been attending
the Salt City Business College for
the past term.
The delinquent tax list will pos
itivly appear next week. We had
intended that it should appear this
week but we were so busy it was
impossible to ger it ready.
The new cement wakes are now
finished the entire length of the west
side and materially improve that
side of the square. The walks are
10 feet wide and as smooth as glass.
w. D. Haywood, secretary and
treasurer of the Western Federation
of Miners was acquitted at Boise
City Idaho, for being in the con-
spiracy to murder Governer Stenn-
unberg of that state.
Tom Walters came into our office
last Friday morning with box of
cigars in his hand and a big smile
on his face. Upon inquiring we
found that it was IL pound boy
and a dandy. We smoked on the
boy.
The real estate firm of Miller &
lanes has been dissolved also the o.
K. Land Co. Mr.. Sullivan retiring
from the latter and Mr.. James from
the former and then Messes Marrs
& Miller fromed partnership un-
der the name of Mars & Miller.
MIR. Boyer has sold the Meade
Steam Laundry to Mr.. J. S. Sui
livan, his brother and brother-in-law
who will take charge of same and
open up for business next Monday.
Mr.. Sullivan is the same man who
started the laundry and is an exper-
fenced man at the business. He
expects to build up the business.
The costs in the case of The
State of Kansas VS.. Fred Ellis which
was on trial for three days last week
in Justice court amount to S73.45.
These figures were furnished us by
County Attorney Sullivan with the
request that We publish same as the
report had been in circulation that
the costs will be several hundred
dollars. In view of the fact that
Mr.. Ellis was exonerated of the
charge of disturbing MIR. Potters'
peace, the county will have these
costs to pay.
1t has been suggested that the
News ought to criticise certain
parties who were connected with
the recent case from Fowler which
was tried before Justice Stamper.
Now there were friends of the News
on both sides of the above mention
ed case, and the News did not feel
called upon to express any radical
opinion on either side. We stated
the result and thought it sufficient.
We have enough to do to attend our
own affairs without taking up
Fowler's fights, which we think,
however, ought to be settled, and
we think the recent case will
aid materially in the settlement of
affairs in that city. As far as the
costs are concerned, the amount
will never break Meade County.
We would rather see people get
along peaceably and never go into
courts for anything. Weunderstand
that every body cannot see things
alike, but we always give man the
benefit of the doubt, and consider
him honest, until the contrary is
shown.
