F.ljtor: Urder the ahove soinUer and alliterative head-lines, the esteemed editor of the Headlight let ofi the accumulated biie hii proprietor on the electric Lht question, and throughout his he er.d in sundry squibs as escape valves through which bubbles the wrath of his chief over it lact tnat certain xnemoers o.

ne w--ii reclined to saddle upon the city a tax of $400 a year addiuonaJ to the a year which the fire lights now taken will cost the city. Tne facts seem simply to be that two petitions have been presented to the council, one signed by a small number of citizens asking that additional lights, particularly one Jight in the extreme south-east corner of the city be taken and paid for by the city. Aad one signed by nearly two hundred citizens and tax-payers asking that one street be opened thruugh the property of a certain esteemed citizen, the Gpenrag of which will add hundreds of dollars to the value of his property and greatly benefit many citizens, by enhancing with his, the value of their property, and in addition benefit the town by giving it an addiii jnal outlet and shorten by one-half mile the distar.ee that a large number of our citizens have to travel to reach the city. To this petition so numerously signed, I am told that one of our esteemed city officials with whose notions it conflicted remarked that the people are fools enough tod-n any petitions; they don't know what they want." Now I have heard these councilmen say both publicly privately in council meeting and elsewhere, that whenever they were convinced that a majority of our citizens desired nine lights they would vote for th-ra. Why do not these gentlemen who are so desirous of booming the electric lights, get up a petition asking that the lights be taken.

If the people are such fools as the esteemed gentleman thinks, there should be no trouble in securing their signatures, aid these who are tired and sit down," will by a unanimous vote order the lights, I have nj doubt, for I know them to be gentlemen of honor, and I equally know them to be gentlemen who not vote public funds into the coffers of a private corporation when they beiiee the majority of their constituents do not desire it. I have never lived in a town where the people were more public spirited, more willing to sacrifice their private interests fur the public good, or would reach farther into their pocket-books in aid of a public enterprise than in Herington, and among the most public spirited of them all are the g- ntlemen who compose the present city council, and those who ire told by the editor of the Headlight to "keep their seats and watch the elephant go round and round," have dune as much to boom our fair city in proportion to their means any citizen within its borders. They have put down at their own expense every sidewalk ordered in front of their respective properties by the city council, and have not arro- I gated to themselves the authority to say that they will not put down much needed sidewalk. (For instance west Main street.) Now I want to see harmony in our city; I am willing to concede that perhaps I look through green spectacles in certain matters, that I am an bid fogy and a kicker, do not know anything about enterprise, and push, and boom, as I came from Council Grove, perhaps I do not, but I now live in Hcnnptca and for that reason if no other I can neither be wholly bad nor dead; and it appears to me that the gentleman who edits the Headlight had better turn his attention from berating the citizens to booming the city. 1 am respectfully, A Lover of Justice.

A Good Maa has Gone to 11 Rest. Mr. D. S. Powell passed away on Saturday morning, March 24, at 3 A.

M. At 2:30 f. M. the funeral services were held at the house and there m-ere many that gave expression of grief through their tears. At it P.

M. the body was conveyed to the train and taken to the family burying place in Peora, accompanied by his son Allen Powell and Mr. C. E. Sttnger.

he following was written by the Rev. E. Mathenn, D. pajtcr of the Presbyterian church, who also officiated at the fur.eral 1-D. Mr.

Powell uas born in Green county, N. Oct. 24, 1025, and died at the age of 62. Mr. Powdl came to Illinois in '46 and engaged in fanning and afterward engaged in the mercantile business in Chili- cothe, in which city and county he held various positions of trust and honor under the government, such as revenue 'jr for years; "enrolling of whvre his luc as 1.1 aangr; county assessor collector, which positions he always held with always gaining and holding the confidence of his fe'tlowmen.

'78 he came to Kansas where he engaged in forming and mercantile business which he followed up to his death. About 15 months ago he came to rlerington where he engaged in the furniture busi ness. V- 't in this city Mr. rowel, gained tor himself a host of friends, and he conducted his business among us with that degree of honor and honesty that we never had a thought of questioning either his word or his prices, and in his buiines relations all through life 'baxing been tried in the tire he ways came out pure gold." There is cot a man in Herington that was regard? ed with more respect than Mr. Powell.

It is a com mon thir.g to hear on the street, "thut Herington has lost a good and honest man. Mr. Powell was married to Almeda Voting in the year 1P51, and this, hi faithful tfe, who has been ih him over 36 years in all his joys and sorrows, now survives him. rhe ministered to all hts wants, and was faithful 2nd loving down through his last sickness, and when she realized that he must die her strength gave way and it now requires all her strength to bear up under her sad bereavement. 1 hre children is the result of their union, two daughters, one of which died at the age of 3 years and the other at the age of 9 years, and one boy, Allen, who still lives with his parents.

Lro. Powell united with the M. E. church in '43 and has rd an exemplary life for 49 years in church and no one doubts hU christian faith, and his character is that, that becometh the life of those that ivc the Lord. He has been otlered different offices in his church and m.ght have heiJ license as a local preacher, but he relu-ed preferring to work, for the Master a private soldier.

All that could be done by his faithful ife and son. and friends was done that if possible the life of such a good man might be spared. Kut his ti.ne had come, and he realized that the end was near, and just before he died he laid hold on the bible, and all its words were precious to him, and many passages of scriptures were repeated by him, to show that hi faith was growing stronger and after said it was all clear and bright, and that the God whom he had trusted all his life would not fail him now. The death scene was sad, and yet beautiful, sad because of the heart breaking of wife and son. Mrs.

Powell prayed and AMen so.id, "how can spare you." Certainly God looked on in great sympathy. It was truly sad and yet beautiful to see the christian cnter- the pearly gates of the city of iJod, to be clothed in the robes rit'teou and to wear a crown through all eternity. The M. E. church has lost a noble and faithful member, and our city an upright and honest citizen.

We extend to the bereaved our prayers and sympathies. The following resolutions of respect were passed at the last meeting of the Ladies Aid Society: Whereas, It has pleased aimiehtv God to remove from our midst brother i S- Powell, and Wmlkeas, By the death of said brother the church is lost an earnest and faithful brother; the com munity an enterprising utiea and his family a loving and kind companion, thereiofe be it KRsOLVfci), 1 hat we, the Ladies Aid Societv ot the M. church, do tender our heartfelt svmnathies to sister Powell in her bereavement, acd that offer our prayers to the all wise ruier thathe may comiort. help and sustain her in her a miction MS. klNNEV.

A. M. Cress, Agent. I Lcksell F.ngstrom, of McPherson, have traded real estate for the Beehive store ot that city, and with the two stores, have the largest stock in Mc- Fherson countv. Murphy, of Hope, has located here and established a dye works.

He is located north of the M. P. tracks. If ou have anything in his line give him a call as he guarantees satisfaction. Why cannot the city marshal have the crossings kept clean during the muddy spelis.

It would be a good scheme to put some of the vags that are loafing around at work. Pass an ordinance to that effect, and Bill will do it. Almost a fatal accident cccured at the electric light plant last Sunday night. Geo.

The medical and surgical so ety of central Kansas will meet in Council Grove on Tuesday April icth. In spite of the cold and disagreeable weather our streets were crowded with teams all day long last Monday.

As soon as the surfacing is finished on the Salina branch the running time will be shortened up considerable. The Dickinson county Republican convention will be held at Abilene on April 28 th and the various primaries on the 26th. Horsemen are invited to call and see our samples of horse bills, we have no less than seven different cuts and can please the most fastidious. Through the kind courtesy of the Baptist brethren the Methodist services will be held at the Baptist church next Sabbath morning. The ladies of the Baptist church will give an Easter supper and musical entertainment, at the Herington Opera House this evening.

The sheriff sale of the Friedman stock at auction commenced Monday. Burton the auctioneer is a clever talker but could not realize more than fifty cents on the dollar on stock all around. This office last week turned out sale bills for a live stock sale that will take place at J. W. Creech's corral in this city on Monday, April 2d.

This will be a good chance to get some good stock. See advertisement elsewhere. We are under obligations to Mr. L. E.

French, express messenger, for a sample of Hutchinson salt. It is fine grained as any dairy salt we ever saw, and is surely the genuine article. Success to Hutchinson and her salt boom. The leap year party given by the young ladies tast Friday evening in Luce's hall, was a success in every par- ticular.

Mr. and Mrs. John Condon will return to Ohio soon, on account of the illness of Mr. Condon's sister. They have rented their residence on East Third street and do not expect to return soon.

Dr. G. I). Howard, homeopath'ist, of Chicago, arrived in our city last Friday and alter looking the place over carefully -was so well pleased with our outlook that he decided to locate and grow up with the country. He accord- ingly rented office rooms three doors from Main street on east side of Froad-way (Dr.

Money's old ofnee), and will become a permanent resident of the "young giant." We cordially welcome the Dr. and trust that he will never re-srret his choice. A Hope correspondent of the Tope-ka Capiftl says: "The city council of Herington has voted to discontinue the electric light plant put in some months ago." Nothing of the kind ever happened. The city council have nothing whatever to do with the electric light plant. If you would come over and I see the fourteen or fifteen workmen putting up the poles and wires for the five hundred incandescent lights you might get some light on a subject you seem to know nothing about.

A somnambulistic passenger on the night express going south this morning when the train was three or four miles south of here got up out of his seat and walked out of the car and jumped off. He was not missed until the tram ar rived at Marion, when the conductor telegraphed back that he had lost a man. Dr. Cooke, the road surgeon. was immediately called and the switcn engine started out to hunt the man.

They ran slowly clear to Marion but failed to find him, but on coming back they found him at Lost Springs none the worse for his jump except a slight scalp wound. His name was J. S. Day, an attorney of Wellington, Kansas. On Monday, March 19, iSSS, at the residence of David Ballantyne quite a number of people were assembled, the cause being a wedding of two of Scotland's fair representatives, a laddie and lassie, by the name of Robert Ballantyne.

a nephew of David Ballantyne, and Miss Maggie Dick. Rev. Dr. Mathena officiated in regular Presbyterian style, using the ceremony as used by divines in Washington, D. C.

After the two were made "one" the party were invited out to an elegant repast prepared by Mrs. Ballantyne. The guests enjoyed themselves in singing Scotch ballads and in other ways, and parted for the evening feeling like weddings were a thing to be enjoyed. E. J.

Ohmers, of Topeka, was in the city Tuesday and inforn.ed our local chaser that he had made arrangements to take charge of the lunch counter at the C. K. N. depot; that he would make several extensive changes by enlarging the counter, putting a kitchen in the basement, etc. The firm is E.J.

H.S. Ohmers, and they nowocccupy the fine dining room at the C. K. N. depot in Topeka, that is spoken so well of by all who have dined there.

We understand that these gentlemen are to have the entire charge of all the eating houses on the C. K. N. In a short time several important changes will be made at this depot. More tracks are to put in, and a permanent dining hall erected independent of the depot which will be a great convenience.

The gentlemen nominated for councilmen are all men who are interested in the future welfare of our town and can safely be intrusted with the affairs of our city. Mr. Buck for police judge will probably not have any opposition as he is so well and favorably known.
