Jesse Green wait returned from Wichita last Saturday where he has been undergoing treatment for his rheumatic trouble. He is much better and is improving. The Cosmopolitan for February introduces a famous European author to its readers Valdes of Madrid, and the artist of Marold of Paris, well know as a French illustrator. The prayer meeting of the Christian Endeavor Soceity for Sunday February 11th will be led by Mrs. L.

M. Rich: Subject, "True possessions and how to obtain them." All are cordially invited to attend. C. A. Webber and daughter, Miss Ada, returned from their visit to Scotland and Macon counties Tuesday.

Mr. Webber has been "under the weather" while visiting, having contracted a severe cold which stayed with him. Elmer Strain returned from a protracted visit to old friends and familiar places in Pennsylvania. He says times are as hard back there as here and the people there seem to complain more than we do here. He reports a good time during his stay there.

Mr. C. F. Davis, editor of the Bloom-field, Iowa, Farmer, says: "I can re wasps' I Hill Home Farm. W.

M. Powell has about completed one of the boss barns of the county, at his ranch. It beats hens a peckin when ground puppies and lizzards come out right in the middle of January. Chas. Bean is building a basement barn 16x26; he says he is tired covering a shed every year with hay-shingles.

According to the old saying, "Early Easter, Early Spring," we will certainly have an early spring as Easter comes on the 25 day of March. This winter reminds us of what the Bible says: You can't tell the winter from the summer or the summer from the winter only by the falling of the leaves. The rain and snow which fell Wednesday night and Thursday of last week will hold the wheat all right until spring. Wheat looks well in the eastern part of the county. Mr.

Biddle, of Indian creek, has lost several yearling steers by blackleg recently. This is the kind of a winter for blackleg in cattle. Mr. Jackson also lost one with the same ailment. Henry Beiers and John Dunne were up from the Strip a few days ago to move their last load of plunder to their Strip farms.

Henry says he will bid farewell to the little old rock shanty on the hill. Miss Chapman took her scholars through a regular roundup at the school house Wendesday night of last week. The way the scholars performed reminded one of being back in some thickly settled country. People would suppose that because so many persons have left the country that no amusements could be gotten up at the country schools, but if you want to attend a good entertainment come to school distriet No. 7, or the Wright school house.

The battle between the two nations for the championship of the world has taken place and didn't amount to much after all. When Corbett meets old Peter Jackson in the ring he will not have such an easy row to hoe. It was not because Jackson was black that Sullivan did not want to fight him. Corbetts hardest fight of his life will be with Jackson. Wolyes are getting awful thick in this county.

You can hear them howling in every direction every night. Suppose we call a wolf convention at Coldwater some time soon and make arrangements for every man, dog and boy in the county to turn out and have Snap-Littou. John Snap and Sadie Litton were married at 2 o'clock I- M. Wednesday, February 7th 1894,. at the home of the bride's parents, in Logan township, by Probate Judge Duncan, in the presence of a number of friends of both bride and groom.

A most palatable and excellent Wedding dinner was served immediately after the ceremony. The groom is a popular and energetic young farmer of Rumsey township, and his bride is a popular Comanche county school teacher, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. S.

Litton. The happy couple were the recipients of a number of valuable and useful presents the gifts of admiring friends. There were present thirty-nine persons, all of whom immensely enjoyed the hospitality extended, and were profuse in their congratulations to the bride and groom. They will make their home on Mr. Snap's Rumsey township farm for a time and will probably move to the Strip in the Spring.

The Enterprise extends the usual congratulations. May they never regret the step they have just taken. To Tlie Public. Having been chosen Secretary of the Kansas Board of Agriculture a position in which the standard of work and efficiency has from its beginning been so high as to excite universal commendation, my ambition will be to still main-tain for it, so near as I may, something of the same excellence. To at all succeed in this, I shall greatly need the helpful co-operation of every good, citizen, and especial those who have closely at heart the substantial advancement of our State in prosperity, upbuilding and good name.

It is evident that Kansas is approaching the morning of a new departure in various respects, which is to comprehend an era of progress surpassing any in her previous history. New methods, new means, greater economy of production, more successful organization, better adaptation of means to ends, with a broader grasp and appreciation of opportunities everywhere about us, are no more necessities than they are near possibiiites. There can only be realized through the efforts of our own people, of whom the State Board of Agriculture and its Secretary are but creatures and servants, whose best efforts can avail no more than the support of their employers makes possible. That such support, as heretofore, will be and generous there is little occasion to doubt. Respectfully, yours for all Kansas, F.

D. Coburn. I also keep for sale both Heavy and Shelf Hardware, Implements, Wagons, Buggies, Tinware, Tiling, Etc. I have a first class Tin Shop in connection with my store. Come in.

The Eagle is untiring in its efforts to work up a boom for Wichita. A new cigar factory has been started there. But then Wichita is the Metropolis of southern. Kansas and bids fair to be the Metropolis of the entire state, and we are proud of her. Let 'er boom! A hale old man, Mr.

Jas. Wilson, of Aliens Springs, 111., who is over GO years of age, says: "I have in my time tried a great mauy medicines, some of excellent quality; but never before didlfind any that would so completely do all that is claimed for it as Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhcer Remedy: It is truly a wonderful medicine. For sale by Lockwood druggists. Mrs. R.

W. Doig returned from Wichita last Saturday. She brought with her some samples of a patent kindling, manufactured at WTichita by a former Comanche county farmer, J. K. Cook.

It is a mixture of sawdust, tar and rosin, pressed into flat cakes. It is a great convenience where other kindling is scarce. S. P. Duncan and family were at Nescatunga, Mouday, and made preparations for the removal of the remains of their little girl, which were buried there seven years ago, to the Coldwater cemetery to day, and be interred by the side of the little boy.

The monument will also be inscribed for the boy's graye and erected to mark both graves. Joseph V. Dory, of Warsaw, 111., was troubled with rheumatism and tried a number of different remedies, but says none of them seemed to do him any good; but finally he got hold of one that speedily cured him. lie was much pleased" with it, and felt sure that others similary afflicted would like to know what the remedy was that cured him. He states for the benefit of the public that it is called Chamberlain's Pain Balm.

A number of kicks have come to the county clerk from township officers in regard to the clerk's bill against the townships for its apportionment of the expenses of the recent election. Some didn't know what to do with it and were after information and to register kicks. It is the law the Australian ballot law, which has its good and bad features the bad being in the majority. In some townships the expenses were as high as 82.

G. W. Tade In order to keep up the precedent of nominating city marshals for high places, and that the populist idea of dividing the spoils' and honors may be carried out, we suggest that the populists of the Seventh Congressional district drop Jerry Simpson and nominate some other city marshal. In lieu this we suggest that Comanche's delegation to the pop congressional convention, present the name of Cold-water's marshal. He is no slouch when it comes to talking finance.

company a proposition, like the one heretofore referred to iu this paper, to accept railroad taxes for 1893 on the basis of the 1892 assessment with the understanding that the railroad company should pay half in ten days and the other half latter on, and if the company paid taxes to any other county in the State on the '93 assessment, Comanche county is to receive on the '93 assessment also. The company accepted it. It is certainly a fair contract. The county gets the benefit of the money right away, whereas if they had not compromised in some such manner, we would have to a year or more, until the- slow process of law had taken its course, and even then, if the company won, would have to accept taxes on something like the 1S32 assessment. The 1S93 assessment calls for about 61,000 more for this county than the '02.

and we hope the 1S93 assessment will hold good. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1891 Subscript Ion Prices Oae copy, one year $1.00.

He reports matters quiet in Oklahoma at present, but everybody is banking on a "spring beume."

It is an Oklahoma production and is yet an infant. Mr.

Albert Favorite, of Arkansas City, wishes to give our readers the benefit of his experience with colds He says: "I contracted a cold early last spring that settled on my lungs, and had hardly recovered from it when I caught another that hung on all summer and left me with a hacking cough which 1 thought I never would get rid of. I had used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy some fourteen years ago with much success, and concluded to try it again. When I had got through with one bottle my cough had left me, and I havo not 8 11 fie red with a cough or cold since.

There has been an. item going the rounds of the populist papers that one million dollars have been saved in state tax ty this administration. Why did not Harper county come in for a part of this great reduction Take oil your goggles and look at your tax receips for 'the past four years and you will see that the state tax has been five mills in Harper county each year.

Jake Kehl addressed John Piatt thus, last Saturday: 'Hello John, how's lower Mule "Oh its all right," said John, "keeping up its end of the line." A stranger would have thought they were speaking of a mule, but the fact that Jake lives on the upper end of Mule Creek and John on the lower end solves the matter. Bill Kimes, of Irwin township, was in town last Saturday. He told us of a handsome dinner himself and family, Ben Towner and family and Wm. Sick-ler and family enjoyed as the guest of E. Leiberman, the Kiowa creek bachelor, a week ago Sunday.

Mr. Leiberman got up a meal that would hustle any house wife in the county to beat. He is an excellent cook and caterer to the appetites of humanity. The old soldiers of Comanche county have been hustling about the past week or two making out their vouchers for their February pension payments. It does our heart good to see the pleased expression on the faces of the old war heroes as they contemplate receiving their money.

Two- boys, who were hauling ice for Dan Gallaway at 30 cents a load, were induced by another hauler, to strike for lO cents a load.

Dan told them to drive their teams home and there, ar.cl then raised the other haulers to 40 cents. The fellow who induced the other two to strike was not fired, but staid with the job and by the dissmissal of the other two, got to haul more loads. The Ashland Journal is pouring it in to the ''lark county commissioners for, as it alleges, unnecessary extravagance in the management of county affairs. The latest is a kick on the increase of the clerk's and treasurer's salaries. Coldwater Enterprise.

The trial and sentence of Clyde Mat-tox has aroused curiosity in this city as to whether or not Clyde is the step-son of Col. Deering who was proprietor of the Queen City hotel, now the Aldine, some years ago.

The boy's name was iiattox and his description fits Clyde very closely. The family went to Colorado from here, the woman left Deering and went to Oklahoma where she married again, though the name of the man is not remembered. These movements correspond with those of Mattox and his mother, who is now Mrs. Hatch. If Clyde is the lad who lived here his career will end just where it was pre dicted it would ou the gallows.

Ashland Journal. There has been some talk of late in the county in regard to how many votes a county must have in order to be entitled to a representative in the State Legislature. Here is the way the constitution of the state reads on the subject: "Art. 2. Sec.

2, The number of rep resentatives and senators shall be regulated by law, but shall never exceed 125 representatives and 40 senators. From and after the adoption of the amendment the house of representatives shall admit one member from each county, in which at least 250 legal votes were cast at the next pre-ceeding general election; and each organized county in which less than 250 legal votes were cast at the next pre-ceeding general election shall be attached to and constitute a part of the representative district of the county lying next adjacent to it on. the east."

I will tell you, as near as I can, an incident which happened at the battle of Chickamauga. When Longstreet reinforced Bragg, they turned the tables on us and the retreat back into Chattanooga commenced. Our corps, the 14th, commanded by Genl. Thomas, or "Old Pap Thomas," as the boys called him, covered the retreat. The 19th battery, commanded by Lieu.

Stack-house, would uulimber and give the Johnnies a round every little while. At one place, close to the some trees, when said battery umlimbered, one of the battery boys fell mortally wounded. The poor boy began to halloo as loud as he could. Stackhouse turned around and said to him, "shut your d-d mouth and die like a man." Stackhouse was the hardest-hearted and meanest man to his men of any officer in the 14th corps. When Sherman's army left Atlanta for the sea or we supposed we were going to the sea a soldier never knew where he was going until he got there, after marching about five miles from the city we came to a halt.

Whil? waiting there, a young man, who appeared to be about twenty years old, came along the side of the road, as stragglers always did. When he got opposite our regiment some of the boys shouted something at him, as. they always did stragglers, but he did not answer any of their questions. He had no gun nor other weapon, no traps but a canteen. He acted a little strange.

When he got up to the head of the regiment our Colonel stopped him and questioned him, but he wouldn't utter a word. Other officers gathered about him but could not get him to speak. After a bit he began swinging his canteen backwards and forwards, shaking it and holding it up to his ears and pointing it at the sun. He tried every way to act like a crazy man, but our brigader ordered-him to be placed under arrest. He was put in an ambulance with two guards and Capt.

For-tner, of the brigade staff in charge. We marched till after dark that night. Woods lined each side of the road, and when, night was fully on the prisoner made a break for liberty into the woods. As he jumped, ambulance one of the guards run his bayonet into him but he kept on. Capt.

Fortner, being mounted, took after him and cut and slashed him with his sword until he finally brought him down. The poor cuss was covered with blood from head to foot. He was taken to head-quarters, where, when he knew he had but a few hours to live, he confessed he was a rebel spy and his aim was to find out where Sherman's army was going. ICHABOD.

It effects a permanent cure and the most dreaded habitual sick headaches yeild to its influence. We urge all who are afflicted to procure a bottle, and give this remedy a fair trial.
