This effort gave him a set-back, and he was again compelled to keep to his bed, and Saturday last he was able to spend most of the day in his library, at home, writing some letters and transacting a little private business.

No 6ne objects to suitable furniture in keeping with dignity of the court and to be in harmony with a progressive town, but tax payers object to unjust discrimination. The Oswego court is entitled to equal consideration. The I'arsons members knock on spending trivial sums to keep up necessary repairs at the court house but favors expenditure of any amount if lie thinks it is to the detriment of Oswego.

He had passed away, unconscious, and without a spasm of pain. Dr. Kleiser, his family physician, was telephoned for, but could not be reached, and young Webster Kimball hastened to the residence of Dr. Painter, on East Grand avenue, who immediately responded to the call and hastened to the Kimball home; but after administering a hypodermic injection, in the possible hope of restoring the heart's action, he was compelled, to pronounce Mr. Kimball standing.

Mr. Kimball was a Sir Knight in Parsons Commandery No. 17, and had taken all the higher degrees in Masonry. He was also a member of the Loyal Legion, at Leavenworth, and belonged to Abdallah Shrine at Leavenworth. Only a few weeks ago his term of office of exhalted Ruler of the B.

Mr. Kimball's hands were folded on his breast, and he seemed to be sleeping like a child. CHARLES 1IAZEN KIMBALL was born at Carthage, N. January 1st, 1840, being 01 years of age at the beginning of the present year. He graduated from the law department of the Albany, N.

Y. University, in 1871, and came first into Kansas in 1872, and; to Parsons in 1873, where he opened a law office and soon afterwards was associated with T. C. Corey, tinder the firm name of Corey Kimball. After Mr.

Corey's death, the firm name became Ayres Kimball; and after Judge Ayres' sudden death by apoplexy, while addressing the court at Oswego, Mr. A. A. Osgood became associated with Mr. Kimball, and their offices were for many years located over the First copal church.

A vacancy for firemen exists with Engineer Dillon on Katy trains 451 and 152. The place will be filled not later than May 20.

The affaiv created no little excitement in the Katy yards. When the shooting began, all of the clerks in the freight and store house offices, poked their heads out of the windows to watch it.

Owing to the crowded condition of the calender, the near approach of the end of the session, and the necessity for a law providing for an eight-hour day for lai'road telegraphers creates an emergency and an imperative public necessity requiring the Constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several. divs in each house be suspended and this bill take effect and be in force from and after its and it so enacted. words. His first official act was the taking of the census of the city of Parsons, in 1873, he having been appointed census taker by Mr. Matthewson, who was then mayor.

Since that time he has held more official positions than any other man in Labette county, and so closely is the name of Charles H. Kimball with the growth and prosperity of our city, that a sketch of his life would be almost a record of the progress of Parsons. He was the attorney for and one of the directors of the Memphis, Kansas and Colorado railway, necessary to take so much oil from the Glenn pool as in the past. Th-3 wells are not doing as much in that pol as they were. Large leases which had single wells making 400 to 1,500 barrels each are- now all told making about 1,800 or 2,000 barrels a day, while in the heart of the pool where every well a little while ago was 400 to 1,500 barrel gusher at the start only 100 to 150 barrel wells are being brouhgt in.

This will soon be noticeable onthe pipe line runs. The report ing. Paul Kimball, who is in the law department of the University at Lawrence, was telephoned to at the of his father's death, and arrived in Parsons Sunday evening. Both Charles and Paul are to graduate from the K. U.

law school this year and will take the place of their father in his office in this city. It has been Mr. Kimball's intention as expressed to the writer, after they were thus installed, to take life more easily, only acting in an advisory capacity for the law firm. Mr. Kimball came to Parsons without more than sufficient money to meet immediate needs, but thoroughly equipped, both mentally and physically cr his then future business life here.

One of his closest friends said to us yesterday: "Charles H. Kimball knew more about more things than any man I ever saw." He was brave and Kelif reliant, always, and in the practice fthe law he was generous, withal, to his opponents generally bal! grounds, and also put in a stock of autos at the old garage room. Mrs. J.

The ball game Saturday afternoon between Parsons High School and the Chanute High School team resulted in a score of 10 to 0 in favor of the local team. This game evened up the score with Chanute, as when the Parsons Team played there, they were defeated, but not nearly so badly as the Chanute team was here.
