Wylie W. Cook becomes clerk. Only two county officers retire next Monday, the clerk and sheriff, the others whose terms expire at that time all having been re-elected and will continue for two years more. Married, at. the M.

Baker wes bound over in the sum of $1,000 to appear at the next term of the district court, by Justice Bridman this week, to answer to the charge of assault, with intent to kill Edward Hunt. In answer to an advertisement a man sent twentyfive cents to learn how to make 850 week at home without working, on a capital of 81, and received the following printed slip: for fools, as I do," The county commissioners were fit regular session Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week transacting their regular business. They will meet and organize for the ing year on Monday next. The new postoffice law provides that when persons receive or take mail belonging to others from any postoffice, and do not correct the mistake, they are llable to a fine of $500 or one year's imprisonment. Married, at the residence of the bride's parents, in Edna, (Labette wounty, Kansas, on the 29th of December, 1385, by Rev.

A. S. Freed, Mr. Albert Johnson, 6f Pinden, Missouri, to Miss Lola M. Robeson, of Edna.

Miss Mamie Hyden, who has been home with her parents during holidays, returned to school at Baldwin City Tuesday, taking with her the kindest wishes of a large circle of friends. Miss Mamie will graduate this The house of Mr. J. A. Gates, in the southeast por tion of the city was entirely consumed by fire Thursday night.

Most contents were also burned, and the loss of building and furniture will. be quite a severe blow to Mr. Gates. County orders are worth their face in gold at Cap tain Littleton's office, and those who do business for the county are only required to have the accounts audited, sake an order for the amount and walk up to the counter and get the shinning cash. Judge Webb was up to Parsons on Monday of this week and over to Columbus the Friday before on legal business.

He wore a linen duster to Columbus, but it required the use of two overcoats and a muf fer to keep him comfortable on the Parsons trip. Father Lamb, of the Parsons Eclipse, espies from THE REPUBLICAN a notice of Rev. 11. A. Tucker's book, and says he found it in the Central Christian Advocate.

The idna of Bro. Lamb trying to make his readers believe he has ever read the Christian Ad-' vocate! The Independence Daily News is a bright, readable six column paper, and shows fair evidence of prosperity. It's make up is good, typography neat, and the editorial tone snaps of ability and culture. We surely wish it success and welcome it to our exchange list. "Why, where have you asked a man rushing up and shaking hands with an acquaintance who had just got off the train.

"I've been to Oswego; was tendered the freedom of the city before "What do you mean?" "I've just been let out of Nothing succeeds like success. THE REPUBLICAN is undoubtedly the, best advertising medium in Labette county. It has the largest circulation and every paper that gods out Is read through and through. Now is the time to plant an advertisement for the trade of 1886. Constable Peterson requests us to make public mention of the kindness shown him at Oswego by.

officers Sallee and Blanchard, whose able assistance resulted in the arrest of the fugitive, Tug Pierson. Peterson says he could not have been treated better than he was. -Baxter Springs News. The Oswego Social Quadrille Club contemplate giving a masquerade ball in the near future. The club have been giving regular dances every other week this winter, and the organization is mostly of the soclety people of the city.

Should ft concide to have the masquerade, a grand time may be expected by those attending. Among our personals this week we might mention that O. R. Symmes is in the city. Louis Schneider'; manly form was visible ou the streets Wednesday with a new overcoat 011.

L. S. Crum isn't losing sleep now from any mental excitement. Col. Glasse was among the callers at the meat market one day this week, All over the State the papers are making mention of the fact that Labette county has one hundred thousand dollars in its treasury.

A good deal more than that, now gentlemen, the amount having swelled about twenty thousand during the past three weeks. Our people all have money and they pay the taxes assessed against them I'ke little men. The Oswego school board has either thrust an excusable insult upon the respectable people of Oswego by whitewashing the libertine Williams. or THE REPUBLICAN la guilty of criminal libel upon the young man. Ae we have not been arrested, though anxious to be under the the former conclusion is the only, one to be arrived at just now.

Time will prove we are right, and we would rather be right than handsome and handy. The ladies of Parsons are kicking up a row because the trees in that, city are permitted to expose their nakedness at this particular season when the said ladies are so desirous of walking about town to exhibit their new sealskin sacques, and the Felipse advocates the passage of an ordinance against any person or thing going naked inside the corporate limits. To get down to the under facts the bare modesty of the Parsons folks is glaring enough to inake the most indiferent observer blush at the naked truth, Jousthan Hall and Miss Nellie Westervelt, both of Cherokee county, were married at the residence of the bride's parents Thursday evening, December 31st. Miss Westervelt is a grand daughter of Wesley TI' betts, of this city, and has many friends here who unite in wishing her and the husband she has chosen a long and happy union. Presents presented the bride were a $20 gold piece by L.

Westervelt, a full table set of glassware by M. A. Westervelt, silver cake stand by Sarah Roberts, and other smaller Items. The New Year edition of the Fost. Scott Monitor was what might very appropriately be called, in common parlance, a dalsy.

It was a four column paper, with eleven long columns to the page, and every column was Olled with good words for the city and county, The Monitor is an excellent paper every day In the year, well managed and ably edited, but we don't think it would pay the Rices to publish every day such a paper as they presented on the first day. Many thousands of copies of the big edition were sent out all over the country. Pumpkin Creek was well represented in the com missioners' court this week, brought out by the proposition to moye the bridge just south of Mound Valley to another road half a mile west. There seems to have been a petition presented to the board asking for such removal, signed yery liberally by the citizens of Mound Valley and vicinity. of course there are others in sho neighborhood who do not want the bridge moved, and as is usual in such cases made and provided there was a stormy time for a day or nO.

Finally the board concluded to go out and look the ground over in person, It was one of those pleasant. yet chilly evenings, so common in stilling, sunny Southern Kansas, when the air is charming, yet pregaant with the ability to give one a terrible cold. The white kitten walked coquettishly to and fro on the back garden fence, a pale northera sky was tinged with threatenirg clouds, a nervous chuckling among the fowls as they sought the little coops erected for their comfort and protection, and the muffled voices of the naked limbs of the catalfs trees which afford such elegant shade in summer. all testided that a blizzard was brewing. From the neighboring houses the blue smoke rose in the clear, still air, white the glimmering stars twinkled and the distant forest, dark and mysterious, stretched Its huge arms around the settlement, and the dampness, with its oppressive melancholy, like a haunting, monotonous song whose minor tones suggest loss and desolation, brooded over his manly form like steam in a slaughter house on a cold winter morn.

The sun had gone to rest behind the winter plains and the hour had passed when tea should be served. Yet he sat there, his eye turned heavenward and his hands were thrust deep into his pants pockets, when he was startled by the voice of a loved one, exclaiming: "Why, papa, come to supper; mamma has been lookIng everywhere for you Col. Glasse arose and walked into the house. "What were you studying about, insisted the little inquisitive loved one. replied the colonel, snapping his eyes and trying to smile, "I have just waded through one of my partner's long editortals, and I sat down out there to try and get into my head what he was trying to say, but I must give it up till I can ask him to-morrow." There is an adage older than the first settlements In Kansas that "the fighting men must stand together." It is frequently applied to drinking men, gambling men, swearing men, and sometimes carried 011 down the calendar of debauchery and crime until it reaches that point discussed on Saturday afternoon last by the Oswego School Board and J.

Monroe Williams, who, according to the records in LaPort county, Indiana, is enjoying the pleasures and privileges of Indulgence here, as one of the teachers of our young girls. while Caroline Eggert, the poor German girl whom he seduced and ruined, is struggling along, laboring diligently to support his child, which he dare not go back to see. We like to look into the face of the man or woman who upholds the dirty, depraved, contemptible, lecherous brute who, though amply able to do so, refuses even to contribute to the support of his own children. He is a beautiful specimen to be upheld as a teacher in our public schools! Great God, what must Kansas civilization be coming to to permit such mocking justice? The very air of heaven in all its purity ought to smother such a wretch and poison the smiling accomplices who would undertake the task of whitewashing his loathsome character. The beautiful snow made a great effort this week to get its work in on us, and for a few days it looked ns though It had secured the upper hand.

But old Sol came to the front in grand shape, and his bright raps and effulgent beams once more reign supreme. A number of our farmers and fruit growers are afraid that such mild weather will cause the fruit buds to come forth very early and that a heavy sleet in the spring will catch them unawares, and it will be good bye peaches and other enrly fruit. There is considcrable danger of this. The budson our Kansas trees come peeping out on the slightest encouragement, and a cold snap in March or May would be liable to ruin the finest prospect for a fruit crop ever seen in this corner of our beautiful sunny state. We wi.

hope, however, that such a sad calamity may not overtake us, and that nothing will interfere with Kansas making a fruit record that will astonish the world. Sol is under a cloud. Harmony and good will again reigns in the "Little Stone Church." The congregation having refused to receive Rev. Van Swearingen's resignation, he concluded to continue as pastor of the church. Seven members "demitted," thinking perhaps they could serve the Lord elsewhere, leaving the remainder of the congregation and Van all harmonious and happy.

It is barely possible that the scenes in the church during the meetings in which the questions at issue were discussed were not conducted strictly in accordance with the lamb like gentleness of the savior, which all Christian people ought to imitate, but the storm having subsided and peace being restored, we trust there will never be a repetition of the same scenes in this city. There are members in a great many churches who could serve the cause of tianity much better by drawing out their letters than in any other way, for a house divided against itself will sooner or later crumble to the earth. Southern Kansas pleads guilty to having Indulged in some little indiscretions during the early days of its settlement. in the reckless voting of bonds for as many different purposes as the exegencies of the condition of the new country seemed to demand. Bonds were voted for all the railroads built, and many that were never built, and in many instances these bonds are being collected, road or no road, on account of careless.

ignorant or dishonest acts of those who had charge of the negotiations. Part of Lobette county had experiences in this respect which they would not be liable to repeat, still there is no reason to put up a poor mouth or whine over the spilled milk. The county is growing, our towns are all prosperous by the increase of wealth, and an hundred years hence there will no longer be any of these errors referred to by those who will be here to enjoy the pleasures and beauties of the greatest land the sun has ever shown upon. The local editor of the Winfield Courter has evidently fallen in love with the chambermaid of his boardIng house. Hear him "It is simply disgusting to hear persons speak scornfully of girls who work for a living.

No sensible man is dazzled by the glitter of a jewelled finger, a gold bracelet or watch, bought tick" perhaps. (No pun Intended.) All these have not half so much fascination as a pleasant disposition, a happy and intelligent face, a well cooked meal every day in the week and a glistening, properly ironed shirt front. A dimpled chin and sunny face in the kitchen is worth halt a secre of 'banged' millinery signs in the parlor clawing ivory and screeching the words of 'A Flower from my Angel Mother's when very likely the poor mother is hanging out the washing in the back yard." He stood in front of the postoflice gazing toward Grant's town as though he expected the 'bus. Then he scratched his head and pulled his beard. Walking around in front of Allen's grocery, he fumbled in his vest pockets, wrinkled his brow, pushed up his hat, bit his lips, blew his nose and took a chew of tobacco and spit on the stone pavement more dellberately than if trying to collect a bad debt.

Then he opened his mouth, tugged at his lower lip, muttered to himself and fixed his eyes on the chimney tops across the street, in a vacant, stoney stare that soon collected a crowd and blocked the sidewalk so ladies could not pass. He was a married man trying to think what his wife had told him to get for dinner. He had lost his little paper. The Greeley News asked if a creamery could not be made to pay in that town, and suggests that some one try the experiment. Don't do it.

For reasons ask Columbus, Fredonia. Howard, or half a dozen other towns in Kansas who have been induced to take stock in such a scheme and were soon trying to give some one their stock in order to avoid being sued for the indebtedness piled up against the concern. No, Mr. News, a creamery will not pay there, nor here, nor anywhere in Southern Kansas, and the community induced to contribute to such an enterprise is not wise. The cream costs more than you can get for the butter.

can get for the butter. Oswego is slowly but surely retrieving a lurge amount of trade which has for several years been induced to go elsewhere. One reason for this fact is that those who have felt they could do better else- where, have by experience proven to their own satis. faction that such was not the case. Our merchants are fully up with the times, their stocks are large and varied, and after beating around in the hopes of getting more goods for the money in other towns, the farmers one by one conclude the experiment 18 time thrown away and come slipping back to their frat love, bringing with them many who never came to our city to trade before.

The rafting business has commenced to wane, and business will return to the regular channels again. Some business houses in Oswego have been run almost entirely upon the raffle plan for the past two weeks, and the epidemie reached such proportions that many of the young men feared the girls would get up a like scheme to decide whom they should accept ns sultors during 1886. A few married women in the city could better their conditions by putting up their husbands to be rufiled for, When the excitement la at fever heat tickets could be sold for a Buburban lot in the cemetery, The mock examiastion of J. Moaroe Williams WaS held last Saturday afternoon, and as was generally supposed from expressions dropped by Williams and members of the board the weak prior, be was acquitted, pronounced lanoceat nad goes shead as the occupant of second place la our public schouls. It is not a little bu nillating to Tar REPEaLICAN to tanke this announcement.

Not on account of tacit or auything it has said in the matter, for it has done what it honestly bellered and yet believes to have been its duty, But the mortification is caused by the stubborn fact that we are confronted by an act on the part of the majority of the school board which must be branded by all cecent citizens 88 Infamous and disgraceful. The testimony effered before the board to substantiate the charge of Williams' utter unfit ness for the position he occupies in the schools, embraced positive and unequivocal affidavits, duly signed, sworn to and acknowledged before offeers properly empowered to administer oaths, that he had seduced Miss Caroling Eggert in Clinton township LaPorte county, Indiana, about the first of the year 1993; that he had cohahited with her at divers and sundry times under the pretense of love and promise of marriage; that after It became apparent that the natural result following such familiarity became evident, and he refused to everything right," as he had promised, a warrant was sworn out for arrest, but before the officers cou lay hands on him he had skipped out for Kansas, in search of pastures green and fresh. The affidavits offered before the board also show that Miss Eggert, on the 25th day of December, 1883, gate birth to a male child, since which time and with the exception of this one instance, she has always conducted herself as becomes a respectable, chaste woman and 1s now believed to be leading a virtuous life. Other affidavits corroberating that of Caroline were introduced before the board, together with one made by a young lady who now resides In this county, testifying to Willfams' indecency and bad character, but upon Williams' own testimony that all showings against him were false and the reading of a few testimonials as to how nice he had been while a citizen of LaPorte county, the motion made before the board to' suspend him as a teacher in the public schools here was lost. Those voting for his suspension were C.

C. Clover, Wm. Sanford and A. Ball. Those voting against his sus pension were J.

B. Montgomery, J. F. Hill, Dr. Draper, J.

E. Vanzant and L. Baker. Thus by their votes the five last named individuals expressed their determination to whitewash Williams, as we desire to call it, in spite of all the damnable eviden produced against him. He has therefore been tried and acquitted by the school board, and the publie is temporarily forced to accept the situation.

But we desire to notify Mr. Williams and his champions on the school board, that he has been tried by the respectable people of the city of Oswego, that their almost unanimous verdict is that. he is guilty, and further, that he will be compelled yet to go, as THE REPUBLICAN proclaimed at the begrnning. We do not care to comment further on the subject at this time, but we quote here the letter. bearing date December 30, 1883, received from the lawyers who prepared the affidavits offered before the school board last Saturday, which of itfelf ought to be sumetent evidence to cancel the certificate of any school.

teacher in the State of Kansas, Omitting the headings, the letter says: Eggert to-day called on us with the letter written by you on the 26th in. re. Monroe Williams, and we herewith enclose his affidavit, together with the affidavit of Caroline, the girl, and also the affidavit of the constable to whom the warrant was issued. We also prepared some other affidavits which Charles has taken with him to be signed by the neighbors of the family, and which he will mail to you as soon as he can get them signed and sworn to. Christ.

Eggert to whom your letter was addressed, was the father, but is now dead, and the letter was not delivered to Charles until yesterday. We have had to prepare affidavits very hurriedly, but trust they will meet your purpose. We have heretotofore talked with the neighoors of the family and all witness that the girl was considered strictiz virtuous until Williame ruined her, and that since that time she has done her best to retrieve herself. These people are poor, and allow us to suggest that under the circumstances it is probably no more than right and proper that instead of our making a charge against them for preparing these affidavits, your ellents shonld pay us. We shall charge $5.

Tours Wite In conclusion THE REPUBLICAN desires to say to its renders and especially the patrons of the Oswego schools, that we have been prompted only by the purest motives in our every utterance concerning this matter. We have no fight to make, friends to reward or enem'es to punish, but the question is one we could not pass unnoticed, neither do we think the patrons of our schools can pass it by, even though a thousand school boards might say they should. We desire to reiterate, moreover, that Williams is a dirty libertine, unfit to be permitted in the school room as a teacher, or we are guilty of the most infamous libel provided for by the statute. Our postofice address is Oswego, Kansas, and all we have 1s within the jurisdiction of the District Court of Labette county. We are willing the public shall decide for themselves.

The people living along the river and creek bottoms are reported to be very much discouraged over their losses of the past year. We suppose there is no location in the world, or any vocation among men. which have not their seasons of depression and couragement. The old rule is, if you lose anything, to look for it where you lost it. We have no doubt this rule will apply as well to the case of those who lost their crops on the bottoms this year.

The Jewish law provided that the land should lie idle every seventh year, and we presume that the average product of It was not 8 whit diminished thereby, 88 there is no doubt that It recovered energy and gained strength in that year of rest. So our bottom lands, having had a year's rest, and been fertilized by the alluvial soil from the river, will probably more than make up this year's losses by its increase of production for the next two or three years. The bustness of Parsons has not produced a large Income during the past year, but the time will come when it will make up for this short coming. Eclispe. The grim humor of the following from the GlobeDemocrat touches a tendency in professional philanthropy to run Into sentimentalism: "The honest poor of the cittes, who went to bed on Christmas eve without supper and woke on Christmas day without knowing where their breskfast was to be obtained, will he glad to learn that the murderers, thieves and other criminals in the fails and penitentianies of the country had elegant dinners, and entertained themselves, after a sumptuous repast, with plays and games.

Some of these poor people may not understand the merits of Christian charity which provides turkey and oysters for the convicts and leaves the poor to starve; but this is doubtless the result of the stupldIty engendered by poverty. When their misery drives them into crime they will doubtless see the subject in Its true light." No sooner had the snow moved away the frst of last week than the Industricus Labette county farmer could be seen in his field plowing in order that he might be ready to push his spring work with a vim and get his crops in early. Experience has taught the old timers in Southern Kansas that it is not only the early bird that catches the worm, but that the early planting in spring here yields the largest return and he who plants soonest and attends his crops best rakes in the larger share of the shekels in the fall. It pays to break ground at any time it 18 sutrable in Southern Kansas, and this is as liable to occur in January as in May. Beautiful, healthy, productive Kansas, may her charms and virtues and admirers never grow less.

So much interest has been manifest that the pastors of the several churches have concluded to unite in holding a revival jointly, laying aside the idea of sectarianism for the time beIng, and go into the work hand in hand in the effort of saving sinners.
