R. Hynes, president of the Topeka Insurance Company, was in Leoti, recently, looking after the interests of that reliable institution and establishing an agency. During a brief call at these headquarters he impressed upon as the fact that the insurance business was his special forte, although the excellent character of his company may bave had much to do with the easy way in which he handled his subject. This is a sure enough Kansas company, doing business under the strict laws governing the carrying on of insurance in this state, and it seems to us is entitled to a very large share of Kansas patronage. Mount, Clark Co.

were selected as local agents at Leoti, and such good agents for so good a company certainly ought to secure a good sized hunk of the insurance business of this locality. We have heard it intimated that it is the impression of some of our people, and among them a few of our business men, that the STANDARD has but a small circulation. We have said, and will repeat, that the STANDARD has the largest circulation of any paper in Wichita county, and always has had and we intend that it always will have. We are perfectly willing to show up our books at any time, to anyone who has a right to the information. We do not make this statement for the purpose of reflecting on our contemporary, but simply as a matter of business, the same as a business man would advertise that he carried the largest stock of any sort of merchandise in the county.

W. H. Montgomery, one of the sure enough pioneers, who pre-empted the land adjoining the original town site of Leoti on the south-west, and who left soon after making final proof, returned last week. To say that he was surprised to find Leoti such a large and prosperous city does not begin to express it. He has an orange grove and is engaged in gardening, in Florida, but thinks he will return to Leoti permantly if he can dispose of his southern property.

B. W. Carey, of Shenandoah, Iowa, father of our and Mrs. S. W.

Hall, arrived in Leoti Tuesday morning. He has come for the benofit of his health, and will remain all summer if the climate agrees with him, which sincerely hope will be the result. He brought several head of fine horses, which will be a valuable addition to the already good class of stock in Wichita county. Z. T.

Anthony, section foreman on the Missouri Pacific, has been living in a dugout, near the track, this winter. Saturdey, during his absence, it fire, presumably from a lamp left burning, and nearly everything it contained was in ashes when the owner returned. A trunk and two or three articles of clothing were saved by the dirt from the roof falling in on them. The Ladies Aid Society, of the Christfan church, will meet tomorrow afternoon with Mrs. J.

B. Freeland. This society has been organized but a few weeks, yet they already have nearly twenty dollars in their treasury, and by the time their church is erected will no doubt be able to add much to its interior appearance and comfort, which, we understand, is their object. Thos. F.

Calhoon, reports an exceedingly pleasant time at Atchison, while there as a delegate to the A. O. U. W. grand lodge, and a large and harmonious assembly of that order.

He met Mr. Gerow, the census taker for Wichita county preliminary to its organization, who has a host of friends here and who was exceedingly pleased to learn of our progress and prosperity. Lewis Lively, of Elvaston, for more than a year past a regular reader of the history of Wichita county through the columns of the STANDARD, arrived last week to look at the country and visit his son, our M. R. He is a pleasant gentleman, and we very should like very much to have him cast his lot with us.

Charley Shank purchased a mammoth new range, to cook the grub for the army of gueste at the Grand Central, and then had to enlarge his kitchen to accommodate the range. Little difficulties of this sort have no terrors for Charley, however, so long as he keeps up with the procession. The of weather" ushered in by the first of March has somewhat interfered with spring seeding, but Kansas will soon recover herself. gunny We will pay: il good price for al copy of the Coronado Star of either or all of the following dates: March 10th, December 1st and 8th 1887; also a copy of the Leoti Lance dated December 23rd, 1886. Who will bring or send them in? Let's have a city ordinance to muzzle the dogs.

M. R. Lively is having the cellar dug for his new residence, in the south part of town. J. M.

Denning is preparing to move out on his claim. on the White Woman, south of town. Farmer King came in and set a few sticks of type for us this week. just to keep his hand in. We would like to have our correspondents send in their news as early in the week as possible.

Ex-Sheriff Edwards has traded off his city property, and we understand will move over to Tribune. March certainly came in like a lion. now we hope it will verify the old saw and go out like a lamb. A. E.

Webb. manager of the Tribune town company, was shaking hands with Leoti friends, Friday. The board of trade held a very interesting, and it is thought profitable. meeting Saturday evening. Frank Riddle, who has been the winter in the eastern part of the state, returned Friday morning.

Farmer City? Where is Farmer City? There is no plat of such town on record or filed for record, up to this time. Mrs. Susan Stanley left for Leoti yesterday to visit her daughter, Mrs. Fred Wasem. -Greensburg Rustler.

Miss Ada Coan began a term of distriet school in the west part of the county, Monday, near D. J. Davies'. The democratic ranks were strengthweened in Wichita county by the arrival of a boy at Jerry Neterer's, yesterday morning. Now we have a little more room to spread ourselves, but we haven't got the STANDARD arranged to suit us, exactly, yet.

Leoti has a number of interesting and highly exciting lard contest suits pending before this Republican. Once more winter has had her back broken. Yesterday opened up the regular old fashioned sort of Kansas spring weather. The change we have just made in the STANDARD has been an expensive one for us, and we hope our patrons will appreciate it. There has been a plentiful supply of coal for so long that the coal famine! in December has been about forgotten or is thought of as a dream.

Attorney Hall has fitted up neat quarters in the row opposite the Commercial, for a law, land and loan office, and styles it the front." Bro. Egger, of the Dighton Herald. formerly connected with the Transcript of this city, was dodging around among his numerous friends here, Tuesday. Mrs. Frank Ward suffered severely with the quinsy for a number of days, but since the gathering broke, Monday, she has been much relived of her pain.

U. A. Wilson, proprietor of the Broadway Hotel, Leoti, was in town Thursday. Mr. Wilson is an old acquaintance of our legal friend, Mr.

Stout. -Scott Herald. J. C. Fowler, one of the enthusiastic and rustling farmers of the south part of the county, paid his respects to the STANDARD in a substantial manner, while in town, Tuesday.

E. C. Thomas and wife have handsomely fitted up the house on the corner next north of this office, for their residence. We hope Tom will keep a a fat and unprotected coal pile, Grimes Grimes have removed the remainder of their stock of clothing into the room lately occupied bay their groceries, and are offering what is left at way down priecs to close them out. John Mount, like a dutiful son, places his mother's name and address on our subseription list.

Hawkins, our old city nightwatch, has returned from a lengthy visit in the central part of the state. He is looking much better than when he left, and is glad to see Leoti again. R. L. Sharpnack, one of the great lights of Crosby, expatiated on the future greatness of that growing town.

during a short sitting in this office Monday evening, while waiting for the train. George Blackburn, our pioneer merchant, was in the city Sunday night, but went out Monday morning, before scarcely anyone knew he was here. George, don't you treat us that way again. M. M.

Kerfoot favors the reduction of the price of kerosene and coal, or that the boys furnish these commodities when they come to see that fine girl which come to there house last Saturday. Our columns have been so crowded for some time past that we have been unable to do anything like justice to our home news, but hope under the new arrangement to give much better satisfaction to this line. The weather from the 1st to the 5th was very disagreeable, and at times severe, but the snow left on the ground will answer the purpose of a good rain in moistening the ground and putting it in tine shape for receiving seed. J. A.

Denning has formed a partnership with the Haines Bro's, and as will be seen by their new -ad" this week, the style of the new firm is Denning Haines Bro's. This makes all already strong and popular firm, stronger and more popular than ever. Mrs J. S. Paterson.
