K. Kittleinnn returned from his flying trip to Kansas City, this morning. Mr. A. W.

Ballard is nltciiiding district court at Medicine Lodge, Barber county, this week. The editor left foe Topeka this evening to interview Geo. Humphrey and a few of the senators. He had enough money to get as far as the capital city; but is liable to tie-pass it back. Police circles are quiet.

The hotels are all full of visitors and real estate buyers. Parties who intend visiting Wichita can get pointers from A. T. Barton. He knows how to make the round trip for three dollars.

The report yesterday that the business portion of Kingman was destroyed by fire originated in the brain of some one who likes to hear himself talk. The large and commodious two-story frame building of Dr. S. H. McManigle is earing completion and when finished will be one of the handsomest buildings in.

the city. Harper is blessed with more firms than good live real estate any other city in Kansas, prominent among the best we are glad to note tho fact that the wide awake, rustling Arm of Reynolds Cyphers are always in the lead. This morning Mr, Cyphers called on the Republican office and presented the editor with a fine lot of clioice cigars, when he gave them to us we asked him if it was a boy or girl, but were informed that it was neither. Mr. R.

R. Beam agreed to give a box of cigars to the firm who recorded the largest number of abstracts? the boys had won the premium, as they had done more business than any other one firm in Harper county, and are feeling justly proud over their good luck. They say they are in the race again for this months premium. Number 2. Editor Republican: As calf stories are the order of tho day will yon please publish the following in your valuable paper: There was a man living not two thousand miles from Harper, who had a boy and a calf, that think could outdistance "Pert and his calf." The bov who was about 16-years old, concluded he would break a young steer or good sized cali to work, so he procured a a yoke put one end 'round the calf's neck and fastened it, the other end he fastened around his.

ITo sooner were the ''calves" harnessed than the fnn began by the calf starting on a gallop around the barn yard, the boy keeping up with it the best ho could. After one or two rounds had been made the old man appeared and was perfectly amazed at the condition of his young hopeful, and endeavored to stop the race, but the more the old gent shouted the faster went the calf and boy the calf bellowing and the boy every time he came around to where his father was wildly jestic-ulating and yelling at the top of his voibe, 'Head us off dad, head us off." By the time headed them, the calf with eyes rolling and tongue lolled out was very moak, and the boy was meak-er, in fact he only had strength enough left to softly murmer, "head us dad, head us." We never heard what become of the calf, but the boy after a few days to recuperate appeared on life's stage a sadder and we understand a wiser boy. Miles, the well beloved and uni versally respected shorthand teacher of the Normal school, loft Harper (not to be away from us forever wo hope) but to spread awhilo in pastures now. his kindly and benevolent influence. i Long before the hour of departure arrived, crowds of students, anxious to make the last hours of the master who had been so long amongst them pleasant with cheery words, congregated around him, willing to do anything he might request.

Even as the afternoon rolled on, he had still kind actions to perform, for he gave away a largo quantity of most handsome photographs, which will be kept forever by the students with affectionate remembrance. At half past four, Mr. Miles left; the Forrey block, and pro-1 ceeded to the Normal school, where a large crowd greeted him. Itarely has any master received such a warm welcome, but he deserved it a thousand and ten thousand times, for rarely too bad a master shown such unmiti gated and unvarying kindness to Ti3' V7 itmII ftci liti il- sence keenly, for he was like the center of all cheerinegs and good- will towards others. The time was spent in a most hearty manner until the five o'clock bell fang, when Mr.

Mi'es, accompanied by his great friend, Mr. Scoller, and a large throng of students, made. his way to the depot. Along west Main street and Central iivenue, numerous stoppages were maue, for the shorthand master seems to be well known in town, and nearly everybody he met pressed on him their cordial good wishes and many a warm shake of the hand. When we got to the depot, there was about half an hour's time to spare; during that interval, Mr.

Miles was literally suffocated by the crowd of well-wishers, and to lose his sight for a moment was not to be endured by the students. One of "his pupils gave liim a little specimen of written work, which pleased the teacher beyond all expression. Before the train came in3 the following were present on the platform: Prof. Cook, Miss Baer, Prof. Wright, Prof.

Thomas, Prof. Scholler, Mr. and Mrs. Stone, Misses Ruby Buckles, Sadie Elliot, Effie Shriver, Dora Scoles, Susie Dettweiler, May Bloom; Messrs Babcock, Boyd, Green, Reynolds, Rannolds, Webster, Williams, Palmer, Knowles, Meockle, Borissow, together with a largo muster of town folk. As the engine steamed into the depot, they all shook bands with the kind teacher, and pressed on him their last farewell.

Hehas leftus! But let us not be selfish. We have lost mnch by it, but it is for others good. Wherever Mr. Miles goes: he sows happiness along his way. A Student.

The members of Harper Bebec-ca Lodge No. 32 met last night at their hall and conferred the degree upon Mrs. H. H. Garland and Mrs.

Isadore Lehman who leave for Fort Wayne, in a few days, and Mr. and 3Ifs. Tapp who will remove to Kingman. After supper Mr. Forrey invited the guests to spend the evening with him and threw open his spacious parlor.

Speeches were made by Mrs. Tapp, the Messrs. Lehman, Quinby, Shriver and Kittlemen. POSTOFFICK niHFIOTOTIV. Eastern Mail ai-xires Westers iisil arrives .10:52 a.
