There is in this city a widower with children and a widow with children who would hitch up almost any time if they were not afraid the children would fight. Some people are prone to jump at premature conclusions. Recently we made a little item in reference to Mr.

L.A Murphy going to Kansas City to reside. The spirt which prompted the wording was not one of disrespect. As men run, Mr.Murphy was a good citizen and his most estimable family left many warm friends here who where loath to have them go away. Miss Hattie Stants will teach in the Prairie View District.

Farming seems to agree with him and he is as buxom as he is jolly. Plainsmen To Gather Leavenworth, Kansas, July 23 what will be the first and perhaps the last, reunion of the early-day "mule-skinners'' and "bull-whackers" is to be held at Tonganoxle, Leaven worth county, Kansas during the old settlers reunion, August 8, 9 and 10, and all of these old teamsters who aided in settling the West, fought the Indians and traveled thousands of miles across the prairies before the Union Pacific railway was built, have been extended an invitation to attend. In the early '50s weatport, Mo; Leavenworth and Atchison, Kansas, and Weston and St Joseph, Mo, were outfitting points for transportation companies, Prarie schooners by the hundreds have gone out of these towns in a day's time, some drawn by from twelve to fifteen oxen; others by from ten to six mules The "mule-skinner" obtained his name from the long whip, with which he could reach out and clip the ear off of the head mule if it lagged; the "bull-whacker" was so dubbed because of his long whip.but he was not so fortunate as the "mule-skinner" in being able to ride behind his team, having to walk along the center of his line of animals where he could reach each one with his whip. There are old "whackers" who claimed to walk the distance around the world following ox teams asross the desert to Colorado, Texas and California. After the Union Pocific drove the Prairie Schooners out of business the majority of these old time Western men settled in the river counties of Kansas, Mo.

and Neb took up homesteads and began farming. In Leavenworth and Atchison counties, in Kansas there are said to be no less than fifty aged farmers who came west in the 50s and obtained work driving mule and ox teams over the Kansas prairies in the service of the goverment or the private companies In all of the river cities of those days the companies maintained big corralls, some with as high as 200 animals, and in the early history of Leavenworth during th? border ruf-fan days it is told that there was enough prairie schooners here to form a circle completely surrounding the to fin when it was attached. As late as the early seventies ox teams drew loads of lumber and merchandise into Leavenworth, but it is doubtful if there is now in eastern Kansas such an outfit. All of these old plainsmen in Kansas and Neb. havejbeen extended an invitation to visit Tonganoxie to renew old acquaintances They will be permitted to outline their own programme, which will consist in speaking and story telling of the early'days.

John Moore belongs to this company of prairiemen Saturday was an extremely hot day When the air gets so heated that we fastidious folks have to. shed our corsets you can just bet the weather is warm. The thermome er stood 102 in the shade. Ed Howe, the celebrated editor of the Atchison Globe has donned a very thin linen suit, and appears on the in this flimsy garb.

You can always tell whether a man is maaried or single when you see him go through a screen door, says the Wellington News. If he is married he approaches the door cautiously, glances nevously around, then takes off his hat and swipes it up and down the door two or three times. He then quietly opens the door about two himself through and closes it with a quick snap. The length of time he has been married may be de-temined by the degree of fear and nervousness indicated in his Mr.

D. H. Sprong and family of Potter, arrived Sunday and are visiting relatives and many friends here this week. They returned home Wednesday accompanied by Grable and Nell. A Butler man has found a way to trap that worthless bird, the English sparrow.

The discovery was accidental. Sometime ago he thiew into the back yard an old rat trap the kiud where the rats go in at one end, ttep on a trap door and fall through. It was about worn out and the rats were all gone. A. few days later he happened to pass the old trap and there were fourteen sparrows in it.

Drowning these, he put it back, and in another day or two found nineteen were entrapped. Some days he caught as many as twenty-five. So if the sparrows are bothering you, he says, try a rat trap. You see it by putting a live -parrow in it, and then all the other sparrows, hearing him to get in and whip him. If you have never tried the "Golden Sheaf" Flour you ought to, because you can get it as cheap of Harlow as you can an ordinary grade.

At first that sounds reasonable.

It would seem that a man has a right to spend his own money to suit his own taste and abuse his own stomach if he wants to do so. But when you look" around at the mental, fiuacial and physical wrecks caused by whisky, wrecks which the public must care for andsupport, then it looks different. Honor bright, now don't you beleive the public has some right to say how a man shall spend his own money, if in spending it he is likely to bring himself and family to wsant?
