A. Lenherr, formerly of this county, was nominated by the Populists of Lyon county for surveyor, last Saturday. W. C. Austin, who is assisting M.

C. Newton on the tax roll, will run the office during Newton's visit to New York. Scott Winne is now living in Wichita, where he is running the Wichita end of the Winne Winne loan company. The Poultry and Pet Stock show, to be held in this city next January, deserves encouragement and practical assistance.

The high school library will be open Thursday, August 5th, between the hours of 2 and 4 p. and every alternate Thursday until school begins. Please return all books out. MARY CLEMENTS, Librarian. The Kansas City Gazette says: A jolly old farmer of Chase county, introduced to Ed Little the other day, said: "Are you the young fellow that saw fifty thousand dogs barking at the pyramids in Egypt?" M.

P. Strail has fitted up a firstclass blacksmith shop and is now prepared to do all kinds of work in that line. Robert Nater, an experienced blacksmith, has charge of the shop.

Rev. Christian, E. F. Holmes, L. M.

Gillett and probably Rev. Sankey of Wichita are among the number who will drive from this city to Council Grove on the morning of the 30th, to attend the District C. E. convention. The preliminary examination of Albin Brandley, came to an abrupt termination last Thursday afternoon.

The defendant presented no testimony and he was bound over to the district court in the sum of $1,000. The new school law requires every teacher to teach the vertical system of penmanship and prescribes a penalty for those who refuse to do so. A large percent of the teachers will have to learn the system themselves before they can teach it. Robert Brash spent a couple of days last week with Jont Wood, at Herrington, who entertained him loyally. He says Jont is very popular, holds two offices-township trustee and police judge--and is very successful in a business way.

It is reported that the school district north of Safford decided, at the annual school meeting, not to obey the new law relating to school boods. Some of the books used in that district were brought from Missouri by the patrons, who think that school books good enough for Missouri are good enough for Kansas. The Emporia District Conference of the M. E. church, to be held in this city September 7 to 10, is composed of the traveling ministers, the local preachers, the exhorters and the district stewards within the district, together with one Sunday school superintendent, one president of an Epworth League Chapter, and one class leader from each pastoral charge in the district.

The completion of the fusion ticket was the subject of consideration among the fixers, on the street last Saturday afternoon. The Populists want the treasurer, sheriff and county clerk and think it would be the right thing to give the Democrats the register of deeds and let the coroner go to the silyer Republicans. The Democrats appear to be satisfied with that, except that they want the sheriff also. Married, Aug. 17, by Rev.

Martin, S. E. Whitney and John Heckendorn went to Topeka yesterday, to talk over the increased railroad freight rates with the board of railroad commissioners.

E. Lobdell, is 8 handsome paper, full of interesting reading matter and deserves success. Last week's issue shows hard, careful work on the part of the editor and if it meets the support it deserves its success will be phenominal. The annual meeting of the Chase county W. C.

T. held at City last Friday, the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Ricards of Hymer; secretary, Mrs. Wyatt of Strong City; treasurer, Mrs. A.

R. Ice of Clements. The rain at night interfered with the evening meeting, which promised to be large and interesting. As Dave Bigham was starting to his home in Strong City, last Tuesday evening, his horse became unmanageable, throwing Mr. Mr.

Bigham from the buggy. He was considerably bruised and cut about the hands and face, but not seriously. Mr. Thomas, a representative of the Southwestern Fuel who had got into the buggy with Mr. Bigham to ride to Strong, jumped from the buggy and was unhurt.

The horse WAS stopped without doing any further damage. Geo. Crum and M. C. Newton leave next Saturday morning to attend the national encampment of the G.

A. R. at Buffalo. They expect to be absent three or four weeks, during which time they will visit their old New York homes. Crum is very uneasy about Newton's welfare.

To a certain extent he is Newton's guardian and feels responsible for his safe return. He has made elaborate arrangements to keep run of Newton and has had a pair of shoes made for him of a peculiar shape so that if they get separated he can find him by his tracks. He also has had a sign painted and rivited on Mart's back bearing these words: "Drop to travel under the names "Si" and this off at Buffalo." They, propose "Shorty," and Mart thinks if they can reach Buffalo all right the reunion will be a success. The Citizens' and Cattlemen's Protective association met in the court room last Saturday at 2 p. pursnant to call.

In the absence of the regular officers, Dr. McCaskill was elected chairman and Wm. Norton Secretary. On motion the following committee of three was appointed on resolutions to express the will of the meeting: N. E.

Sidener, W. P. Martin and Wm. Norton. The committee reported as follows: Whereas, the railroads of Kansas have seen fit, at the beginning of the heavy fall shippitg of cattle, to place it effect the weighing system, and thus extort from the producers of Kansas from six to ten dollars per car extra for each car of stock shipped; therefore be it Resolved, by the Chase County Stock association: First--That there be a meeting called, to meet at Emporia, Aug.
