Andy plead guilty before the police judge and was fined five dollars and cost. It is said, however, that Mr. Webb intends to make a State case out of it. Barton county cannot produce two more enterprising and prospereus farmers than James and Will Logan, whose farms are only a few miles north of town.

They are industrious and wide awake, and their note is as good as a government bond. We are proud of such citizens. A. L. Peugh went over to Atchison Monday on a visit.

New Goolls Arriving Day By Day! A new bell has been ordered for the It was an animated scene that presented itself on the grounds surrounding the school house Monday morning school was about to begin. Fully an hou before the time for beginning the exercises of the first the house was crowded with boys and girls of all sizes and age, "dressed in their best suit of clothes," and all wearing bright smiles and happy faces. 'Tis always thus at the start, but with the assistance of three interesting and successful teachers, this feeling will, we hope, continue throughout the term. Promptly at 9 o'clock each room was called to order and business began without any jar or confusion, the instructors having no trouble in classifying and arranging the grades and classes. We feel that this term will prove to be the most interesting and successful one ever held in Hoisington, as it is the first one that ever recognized the grading system, the only successful plan of conducting any school.

There are eight grades, divided as follows: First, second and third in the Primary department; fourth, fifth and sixth in the Intermediate, 'and seventh and eighth in the High school department. The enrollment on Monday, and the grade, were as follows: High School. Prop. C. F.

Ed Ruggles was in town shopping. We respectfully call the attention of the People of Hoisington and surrounding Country to come and look at our Enormous Stock of Our Sunday Sermon. We have been a careful reader of the press for twenty years and during that time have noticed extended accounts of cases of domestic infelicity; and, as is too often alleged, these discords are entirely the result of foolish or extravagant wives. We are in sympathy with no Woman's rights society, but it does seem that as these articles eminate from the pens of men in nearly all cases, there should be some channel through which women could make known their side of the question, and the Blade is going to aid them. The world is well stocked with husbands, very respectable gentlemen when abroad, but whose masks are thrown off the moment they enter the door of their own home, but in many instances their wife's prison.

How conciliating, how pleasant, how entertaining they are before marriage! How exacting, how petulant, how selfish they become after marriage! How suddenly, in their estimation, the wife dwindles down into insignificance: how incompetent she becomes to select articles necessary to the carrying on of the household! Does she 1 want a few dollar? How quickly do you hear: -VWhat are you going to get?" Arid' a strict account must be rendered to the last penny. The wife could ten times easier get the "few dollars" from some other woman's husband, and no questions asked. Poor fellows, they axe built to be hoodwinked by a woman, provided that woman i is not their wife. A man has no business to marry any woman upon whose judgment he cannot depend. Women are not apt to buy unnecessary articles; therefore we say: "Husbands, trust your wifes.

If they fail in judgment they repent it as easily as you can." We have felt our indignation rise far above high-water mark when reading so much gratuitous advice (given, no doubt, by men who are tyrants at home) to wives to speak gently and smile sweetly, and on no account speak disrespectfully to those who arrogantly assume to be their lords and masters. This would all be very good advice, were it not all on one side, like a jug handle. No matter what their provocation, wives must be patiently submissive, or said masters will turn to the grog shop, flirt with their female acquaintances, withdraw their affections (if any exist) and in all ways crush the poor victims of their power as relentlessly as would the wheels of Juggernaut the body of its victims. But whoever reads: "Husband, be patient, kind and gentle to her who has shown her wonderous confidence and love for you in forsaking home and kindred, and thrown herself entirely upon the hope of receiving it Bertha French, James McCauley, Gracie DeLaVergne Oscar Jessup, Grace Lamb.

The church societies who have heretofore used the school rooms are privileged to use the fourth (or hall room) by simply paying for janitor service, light and fuel.

This will be the only room in the school house that will be open to any meeting of any nature. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Degen and the children went down to St. John Friday, returning Tuesday.

Mr. Degen was in business at St. John a few years ago, and his presence among them this week was a signal that he was there looking for a location, and he was hailed on all sides with the question as to whether this was true or not. He told them he was not looking for a location, that they had two of the best stands in Western Kansas right now Hoisington and Claflin. The number in attendance on Monday was 178, of which 33 were in the High school department, 43 in the Intermediate department and 52 in the Primary department, and the number is likely to increase right along.

The board has decided that owinjf'to the crowded condition of each department that they will not admit pupils from other districts; to do so would not be doing justice to the district, and as the taxpayers expect the board to look after their interest and the interest of those who are residents of the district proper, they must draw the linesj so that those who are not in this district will have to be weeded out. This would not be done only for the reason that the rooms are too crowded. W. M. Titus lias located inHoisington with his photograph car, and is prepared to turnout iirst-class work at reasonable rates.

ZZ It may not be generally known, but a fact just the same, that although Col. W. W. Sowards has been in sympathy with the re-submission movement, he is himself a prohibitionist that is, he abstains from touching the that makes men drunk individually," and hence may properly be dubbed a man who believes in letting every tub stand on its own bottom, when it comes to the question whether he should or should not take a drink occasionally he is in favor of keeping it out of his own stomach, and gives to every other man the same privilege, re-submission or not. Bitner Lowrey is the new threshing firm, John H.

Bitner having sold a half interest in the business and equipments to J. C. Lowrey. Their first work was done on Mr. Lowrey's farm, which is panning out 30 bushels to the acre, and of the very best variety.

The first day's run was a hummer, the output being bushels in 11 hours. Smed Wilkinson will have to hump himself if he beats this record. Frederick Thompson fed 50 bushels in exactly 11 minutes, by the watch. Who ca beat it? he is the champion so far. The new firm is composed of two of Barton county's most active and enterprising citizens, and will make the business a success.

nobody. She gets up in the morning and looks with clear eyes upon a bright and cheerful sky; she walks through tli day felicitous and unruffled, seeing good everywhere and joy in everything, and when she goes to bed at night pleasant dreams and refreshing rest are her portion. She has a heart, (all her own), and it beats a healthy response to every note that multi-voiced nature sings. It is not an aerated heart, porous and pin-cushiony, that is sensitive to every sigh of the opposite sex and that bounds like a rubber ball every time a man gkuices its way. Happy soul, she knows nothing of the trials of the married voman with a heart crusher for a hubby; she knows nothing of the woman sitting up 'till late at night, awaiting the arrival of an expected husband, who lounges away his time down town, drinking beer or spending his time with some other man's wife; she does not have to endure the pangs of a jealous wife jealous many times of women who are not fit to be hand servants for her; she knows nothing of the little splits and scenes that are enacted by two who have formed a copartnership for life No, she has an easy mind and conscience, and tears for a wayward partner is entirely unknown to her.

She has a good heart, a true heart, a perfect woman's heart, and it beams with true and honest love, not for self, not for one person, or for any set of persons, but for the whole worldand all that is beautiful and lovable in it. The old maid is a sweetheart at large, if we may be excused for using the expression. Her affection belongs to nobody in particular unless it happens to be her dear old tabby or her little canary but to everybody in general. She is unique. A manproof woman is a rarity.

A girl who can carry her heart through the 'iles and over the pitfalls that the other sex prepare for her, is worthy of honor and the best regard and thatiswhy we devote so much space to the old maid in this sermon, with our war paint on. And why call her old? Nobody really knows when the age of spinsterhood begins the youngest woman in the world are the so-called old maids. What is there to bother them? No anxieties to burn out their souls. The business "down town" do not cause wrinkles to cluster on their brows. They know nothing of the deception and trickery practiced uponlier sex by the husband the troublesome member of many huoseholds.

Life is smooth and flowers spread for their feet, and their eyes are filled with the lustre of the stars. The rose leaf of youth is forever on their brows. While all this is true, there may be some of the fair daughters who are tired of living in single blessedness, and would desert the band, and if so, let us say to them that now is their time.

Joel continues to stick to the stock business ia connection with farming, and is making money. It has been said that until after election the joints can run wide open and will not be molested. Alas! this state of things reappear every two years in Kansas. Through the special request of the city marshal the joints were ail closed Sunday, and there was a noticeable reformation and a betterment in the condition of the air. JOE S.

EWALT, Manag Did you ever see so much wet weather in Kansas before? Or did you ever see such a pretty line of WALL PAPER in Kansas or anj'where as cheap as that A. T. Webb will be happy to show you? PBOCUBE YOTITl EIGS We do not claim to have "Three Registered Pharmacists," but we can prove be AT THE yond all doubt hat we have ONE and Saturday was a veritable hummer. No house, it matters not how well built, was found to be dust proof. Of all the ills that is visited upon Kansans none will compare with the Kansas 'zepher," with its lively, shifting scenes.

Pedestrians never tire venting their wrathful indignation upon nature's bluff when it strikes them in the shape of a cloud of dust, driven by a Kansas wind. Those who have been here any length of tim.e look upon one of these three-days-of-rain-dust as a matter of course, but when a tenderfoot runs up one he goes wild, and grinds his teeth, and loses his temper, and uncorks his passion, and stamps his feet, and bursts with anger, and well, he finds out. at last that vials of wrath, gnashing of teeth, hot blood, and high words do not put an end to his desperation, nor temper the storm, and he succumbs to the inevitable. He curses Kansas awhile and then pours out his bile on the people who would reside in such a country, and when he finds that he receives only smiles in return for his paroxyism, he simmers, and perhaps that is the last time you will hear from him on the subject. Along will come another pucker from the same direction and he will go through the same growl, heat the air, dig the dirt out from his eyes, pass on, and so it goes.

However, there are some people who can never get accustomed to these indefensible spurts of the wind. Dann Southwick, for instance, is one of them. You never find him out of humor except on an occasion of this kind, and he is not alone in pronouncing such scenes as were presented to the people Saturday as an offense against the peace and quiet of the public at large. Yet with all the annoyance which the wind and dust may cause us, it is forgotten in a very short time, and is never thouht of again until another visit from the same source. The rongh days are sent us for a purpose, and are quickly followed by charming, seventh-heaven days to make us forget that we were ever out of sorts.

Take one day with another, and no country under the sun is blessed with more cloudless, sunny, happy days than this, our own free Kansas, and as a rule no people in all the world enjoy themselves as do Kansans in their own state the year round, MALLORY BARN The Only Pharmacist in the City! NOET1I OF TTI'EK HOUSE. AXD THE ONLY GRADUATE IH PHARMACY IK THE COUNTY OR WESTERN KANSAS: Elegant Hiirs, Some time ago Jake Deal, whose fresh and buoyant countenance is as familiar on our streets as a wheat wagoa or a melon rind, spoke to us of a matter very near his heart. The pride and care of Jake's heart for the past ten years has been a rooster with a weeping-willow tail which he raised from an egg. The other day the rooster disappeared, and one of Jake's neighbors, whom he had suspected of casting sheep's eyes at his chanticleer and sizing him up for the pot, came to him and yolunteered the information that a cow in the neighborhood ate the rooster and that he saw the cow just as the rooster's tail was disappearing down her throat.
