The Boggs were residents of Rooks county for about fifteen years.

fAt. Boggs home-steaded the Arth-ir Chapel place. He represented Rioks county in the legislature from 1878 to 1880. The following we take from the Lovington, (111.) Reporter of the date of Nov. 10.

BRIEF LIFE STORY "Samuel S. Boggs was born in Mt. Joy, Lane ster county, Pennsylvania, Dec. 31, 1839, and was at the time of his death aged 71 years, 9 months and 5 days. While yet a Bmall boy he moved to Indiana with his parents and grew to manhood in Wayne and Shelby counties, that state.

Mr. Boggs possessed the "spirit of unrest to a marked degree and in his early manhood, as in later life traveled extensively. In the early days he was a gold-seeker among the western hills. He had visited st of the states in the Union and had made several trips into the far north.

Among the vocations in which he qualified were those of farmer, author, soldier and while a resident of Kansas entered politics and among other offices was a member of the sate legislature. In the early sixties his adventurous spirit and love of country led him to enlist as a private in company 21st Illinois. He served throughout the rebellion with nor and was in many of the bloodiest engagements of that great struggle. He was wounded at Stone River, by a gun shot in the forehead but the ball glancing caused but slight injury. He was again wounded at the battle of Chickamauga by a gun-shot in the right hand and was captured immediately there after and sent to the Confederate prison at Bell Isle.

For eighteen months he was confined in the Confederate prison at Andersonville, Libby and Belle Isle. Later he wrote an interesting history of life in these prisons which has had a very wide circulation. He was released at Welmington, C. on March 1, 1865 and was furloughed to Springfield, III where he received an honorable discharge. For several years Mr.

Boggs was a member of Lovington Post G. A. R. 354 and of the local Masonic lodge. Mr.

Boggs was united in marriage with Margaret Hosteller, who survives him, in October, 1867. Soon after- ward they located in Kansas and to them were born seven children, five daughters and two sons. The children are, Will and George, Mrs. A. G.

Don't Fail to See entucKy Bell" We note by the Clay Center paper that a couple of young people were 'quietly married'down there yesterday. That's so much better than being bois-trous about it. The usual custom of dragging the young bride, screaming and kicking like an untamed bronco, to the wedding, festivities is most reprehensible and these young folk should be commended for being "quietly married."

Friends let us take notice of those who roll the cigarette papers and ask the question, where in this town did those papers lie, before that young boy got them? Over whose counter were they handed? To themind of the writer he that sells those papers accompanied by that poisonous material to put into them, does as great a wrong as the boy who smokes the cigarette. The merchant takes the boys hard earned money and deals out to him poison. It seemes to me as though the man gives stone instead of bread. Or what man is there of you, whom, "If his son asks bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?" Men, ask yourselves these questions.

Some people seem to think when ever pome scandal is set going in a town that the newspaper ought to take it up and air the affair through the columns of the paper, while othrrs think it should be hushed up.

Of-course those who are in some way effected by the scandal do not want it disclosed, while those who are not want it showed up in its true light. It would be the same thing if the tables were turned. It is the old story of "whose ox is being gored."
