It is a serious stroke. Frank Mills threw one crutch away last week and SayS he will soon let the follow it. How Dr. Stockton ever managed to work the crushed foot back into its original shape probably 110 one except himself can tell. Certain it is that the foot was saved where a great many doctors would have insisted Oft using their amputation instruments.

Wiseman was the Gridley delegate. The trip resulted in good; the passenger has been put on and the whistle makes Kyle and Lamont feel quite metropolitan. As for Gridley, we are so far away we CaB hardly hear it. W. A.

Varvel was thrown our of his job at Osawatomie, not through any incompetency on his part, but through a ruling of the railroad company that 10 relatives of superintendents or foremen should be employed by them. Walter happened to be a brother-in-law of the master-mechanic and when the ruling went into effect the first of the year he promptly left for Ft. Seott where he has secured like work for the same company. Funny ruling, in this case, isn't it? 0800200000 000009000000 00000 2525252 How about your Every-Day Shoes.

To thas union were born eight children, five boys and three girls, all of wirom sur vive him. His wife died in 1876 at the age of forty- -two years. In 1860 he again moved to Illinois where he lived until 1878 when he moved to Kansas. Since that time the Sunflower state has been his home and here his body rests. His age was 80 years, five months and nineteen days.

The funeral service was conducted by Rev. F. A. Leak at the Methodist church Tuesday and was very impressive. The remains were laid to rest in the Gridley cemetery.
