George Wilson got reckless the other day and invested in a ticket in one of the big lotteries. He was surprised lately that he had drawn a prize of $10. Of course he re-invested the capital and will likely quit even or loser. Our reporter lost his notes yesterday and forgot to return thanks on behalf of the ladies' aid society of the Christian church, to Frank J. Hess for the use of his hall on Saturday, and to Prof.

Funk and family for their help in arranging for the entertainment.

He was running a gilded pala.e of sin down there, a dance hall, with all the modern attachments, when the authorities set to work and cleaned the concern out and confisticated his upholstered furniture. It is said Frazier was running on some one else's capital. A California girl has sued an audacious fellow for extracting sundry kisses from her unwilling lips, and esks $1,500 damages therefor. We fear the young man didn't know how to manage the job, else it would have been les expensive. Eut there are kisses end kisses, and things have come to a pretty pass when the girls charge $1,500 per kiss, and the boom a thing of the past, too.

Julius Behrend Co. are getting settled down to business in their new room the K. of P. block. It is well worth while to go and take a look at their well arranged shelves with their stocks of new clothing reaching nearly to the ceiling and every thing working in apple order.

Julius is starting out anew to capture a big share of the clothing trade and he will do it. The four Indians that were locked up last evening were before his honor this morning. The judge informed them that they had been drunk. They all grunted as if to say they knew that before. The judge then said, "one dollar and costs each," and the sons of nature grunted again, this time in disapproval the sentence.

Two of them were committed while the other two paid their own fines and started for camp to rustle more money for their brother's realese. PURELY PERSONAL. Logan, the little son of Zack Mulhall is only 7 years old, and is one of the most precocious boys we have ever seen. He can ride a horse equal to any men and delights in herding cattle. Ho has ridden for miles over the prairie alone, and would just as leif start out of camp in night rs in day time.

The way he came to have his experience WAS that being of a puny nature, the physician advised his parents to make him take door exercise, and the boy having a natural liking for stock, his father took him to the ranch, where he was allowed do as he liked. He grew healthy but yet very small, not large enough to mount an ordinary horse on level ground. The boy handles a gun as well he does a horse, and another peculiar-, arity is that he is as polite and gentlemanly in manners as the ordinary man. City Council.

Thecurse of every new town, pla led 89 Guthrie has been on government la and without municipal authorities to enter for the people, is a class of "lot jumpers." In nine cases out of ten they belong to the hoodlum, blackmailing element, who are utterly worthless, and who stand in the way of the real friends of progress. They are generally without means, never build or improve but taking advantage of the absence of law, and their own supreme gall, "jump" on a lot that is being improved, and by so doing cast a shadow on the title, and then drive the owner to the expense of a law suit, or eise bleed him by blackmail to get him off. These scoundrels need some State Herald.
