The Bazine people always did give pleasant parties, but this time they over-stepped the usual line and fame up four-in-hand.

Several parties from this city were in atteiidaneu, ami they all speak highly of the entertainment Uiey received. 1). F.

Mr. Hermon is a man who has had many years experience in Western Kamas, is a successful busi ness man and should at least have a respectable bearing.

Lane County Herald. The Ness City Sentinel is urging that their representative throw his whole effort in the direction of securing a law privileging a town or county to vote bonds for the establishment of sugar factories. Such a law, no doubt, would be the means of a number of plants being established in Western Kansas, for we can raise the sorghum, and all that Is required to make us a leaning sugar producing district, is some plan to get the money to erect lactones. ingiiiou Journal. Hugh Harper, the young man who was snol while attempting to get away from the oflieers, an account of which was given in this paper, had his left leg amputated last Sunday by Drs, Scott it Venard, and a very neat sur gical operation it was.

At present his wound is healing very rapidly. The report of the capture, as given lasl week, has been verified by the olhVers. except that the oflicera were at the Harold livery bain when the young man came up, and that it is not accurately known which olllcer's bullet struck the boy. i oung Ilal'per Is keiq lug his cou. aL'e reinai kablv well, and Hi speaking of the loss of his leg, philo sophically remarked belter thai uii, one H'g is Kansas itv, this week, on pleasure and business, lie will make an investigation of the sugar and creamery business.

A cordial invitation to altend is extended to all. --II. A. McLean, formerly an attorney of this city, has sent us a bar docket of the Marion county court. We notice by Ibe docket that the firm of McLean Dean has more than seventy cases in the court.

We are glad to see Mr. McLean marching up so rapidly, and we are confident he will continue to do so. M. Vaught, chairman of the Ness county horticultural society, requests that the members of that organization meet at the opera house in this city on Saturday, December 29, at 2 o'clock p. m.

lie told the people that thev would find water on the Central house lot if they would go sixty feet for it. They began drilling where lie indicated, and at a depth of about sixty feet thev struck water, and in a few minutes the hole contained more than two feet of water. When we take into considera tion that several attempts have been inadeon the same premises in the past to obtain water. Prof. Hammond has gained quite a victory.

They intend extending the hole to seventy feet, to strengthen the supply and to make the space for the water larger. Utica Items. The Italian weather continues. Miss Oldham has been engaged to teach our school. Literary societies are being organized in every school district in this township.

The importance of this town as a shipping point can be easily demonstrated to any one who will take peep at the freight in the depot. Garner Bros, have husked out enough corn to show that their crop will reach 5.000 bushels of good corn. This shows what enterprise will do in Ness county.

Constable Hanev came up from Ness City last week and sold the Topping barn. Paul Klein, who is always ready to invest in Utica property, purchased the barn. Tho joints of this city have played out for want of patronage.

Klein and Radflcld of Lebanon, Illinois, are visiting Paul Klein, the real estate rustler. Mr. Klein is Paul's father and Mr. Radlield is his brother-in-law. They have been driving over the township looking at our beautiful land and line corn.
