How to get something for nothing, pay your subscription on the EcHO and get The Western World, a good farmers paper, one year free of charge. C. D. Selby, who left here: about the 15th of December, and who has been visiting in Ohio and Illinois, returned night. He savs he still likes Kansas the best yet.

The ladies of the Aid Society are requested to meet at Mrs. Harris' Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock to make arraugements for the oyster supper Monday evening. H. H. Chamness, night operator at this place, was transfered last Saturday to Kit Carson to fill the same position there; Norman Cox being assigned to fill the vacancy here.

All communications for this paper must be accompanied by the name of the author, not necessarily for publicaton, but as an evidence of good faith on the part of the writer. The Ladies will serve a Martha Washington oyster supper at the new church Monday evening, Feb. 28. Oysters from six to nine o'clock. Let every 011e come and have a pleasant time and a good supper.

The most inventive minds in all parts of the world seem to be at work to produce wonderful and startling novelties for the great World's Fair. Many of them are described in The Western World, published at Chicago; and all will be represented in that paper as soon as cuts can be made. J. W. Gessell of Weskan, has received his order for his pension under the new law passed June 27, 1890, and also an order for eight months pay at the March drawing.

We are glad to hear that Uncle John has got his pension for he is a man that well deserves it and ought to have had it years ago. An interesting account of the World's Fair City is given in The Western World, published at Chicago, with representations at different, periods from the time it contained a single house to the present. No city has had such a wonderful growth, its inhabitants all massacred in 1812, nearly destroyed by fire in 1871 and the second city on the continent in 1890. Oharter Mound. A sister of Benj.

White's, Mrs. Hazen, is visiting with friends in this neighborhood. The people of this vie nity have been busily engaged in putting up ice for a week or more past. A little son of J. W.

Lawton's has been snffering for the last week of a very severe throat disease, but is now slowly improving. Cattle are dying in this vicinity with mange. Can any reader of the ECHO give a cure for it? If so, and the EcHO will kindly publ shit. it will be deemed a great favor. in the The Wallace Gazette has fold its tent and quietly stole away.

The Gazette lost many friends in the last few weeks of its stay by its unjustifiable abuse of some of our best citizens on account of merely personal prejudice. Joe M. Copelin's little g'rl, Myrtle. has been unable to speak a word above a whisper since she recovered from the measles ten days ago, otherwise she seems to be well, her case is puzzling, it is to be hoped she will recover soon. The firm of Ross Austin, the gen tlemanly propr'etors of the iron front hardware store in Wallace, are selling out and will soon leave.

This is to be regretted as it will be inconvenient for the farmers of this part of the county to go to other towns for their hardware and implements. The lyceum at Charter Mound school house is increasing in attendance ant interest. The debates are very esting; subject for next night, that the government should and control all railroads in United States." Brothers McEwen, Melton. Bevard, King, Lawton and Hennick are the disputants and no donbt the debate will be quite interesting. TIMOTLY TUGMUTTON.

C. F. Jenkins to Miss Ida E. Notts, on Jan. 20, 1891, at Boulder, Colora lo.

May their life be a happy and pros erous one is the wish of their relatives and fr ends. C. A. Botts and C. F.

Jenkins have started a quarry of the own. Ire Botts is also working his quarry with a good prospeet, and H. E. Jenkins, J. Phares and Morton Freeman are doing good business in their quarry at present.

We wish the boys great success. James Barret is here from Wallace county and is doing very well at ent, but is thinking of going home, before long. The boys like Colorado, but they have decided to make Wallace county their future home and expect to give the alliance store the benefit of their hard earned money. COLORADO, Died at Oreston, Iowa. Mrs.

Emily S. Tillman, wife of Andrew 1 llman of Union county, Iowa, and mother of O. P. Tillman of Sharon Springs, Kansas, and N. F.

Tillman of Denver, Colorado, was taken sick Jan. 24, with typhoid pneumonia and died January 80, 1891, at 7 o'clock p. m. Her age was 58 years, 3 months, and 27 days. She leaves a husband, age years, five sons and two daughters to mourn her loss.

Written by S. S. Morrow, Thayer. Ia. Mrs.

Emily S. Tillman, wife of Andrew Tillman of Lincoln township, who was buried in Graceland cemetery Sunday, and whose obituary will propably appear elsewhere in the Gazette, was very near and dear to the writer. My mother was her oldest sister. My father died when I was but three years old, and left my mother a widow with three little orphan children. I was adopted by my grand-father and raised in the same tamily with the deceased and thus she scems more like a sister than an aunt.

She is a sister of Mrs L. wife of Mr. J. F. Kinney of (reston.

Mrs. Kinney was buried in the same cemetary a l'ttle over a year ago. She has one sister living in Cambridge, one in Franklin county, this state, one in Tama county, this state, one in Mun cytown, one in Osceola, Iowa. and one in this township. The two last were present at her death ana burial.

She has a brother living in Whitley county, and one in Woodson county, Kansas. Her father's name was Nathan D. Sellers. On Christmas day 1862 he had a family reunion at his home in Wabash county, at which all his chil ren and grand-children were present, except the writer and his! brother, who were in the army. Now his children, grand-children and greatgrand children can be counted by the score, and are scattered from Indiana to Oregon.
