Certainly, said Jones, dont you see they were only put on knights! Long Branch is said to be the oldesiy settlement in Northern New Jersey, and it has a church built in Queen Annes time. You see, a church at Long Branch is used so little that it doesnt get worn out, and lasts a long time. In high dudgeon: I can not understand what offended Mr. Duday last night at the party, said the high school girl; he and his company took their departure in high dudgeon very early, however. Why, 1 thought they left in the same carriage they came in, replied Amy.

A little grandson of Mrs. Andrews was attempting to build a three-legged stool, when he looked up to her and said: Grandma, does God see everything? Yes, my son, she replied, God is everywhere and sees every act of our lives. Well, bj- jingo, wont He laugh when He sees this stool? John Jones lived in Cleveland.

Thralls (the amount being assigned to him by C. F. Ilolton) sheriff of Sumner county, for $5C3, being the amount designated by Governor St. John in his proclamation of Dec 26, 1882, for the arrest and conviction of Charles Davis, who murdered George Wood in Sumner county about the 18th day of August, 1882.

The arms were shipped from here on November 30th, but Col. Moonlight writes that they have not yet reached Columbus, and further- states eight days from Topeka to Columbus is a little too much. A Newspaper Change. It is reported that the Atchison Daily Patriot is to have a new proprietor, and that Mr. ThoB.

Stivers rhas sold his interest to Mr. F. Hardwick, the firm now reading Park Hard wicK. Mr. Stivers was as good a newspaper man as there is in the Missouri valley, and his services on the' Patriot will no doubt be greatly missed.

The writer having been in the employ of Mr. 8tivers for several years can cheerfully say that he never expects to work fora better man. Mr. Hardwick being a practical printer himself wtll step into the traces with years of experience. A State Convention.

The Knights of Labor of the State of Kansas will hold a delegate Convention in this city on the 7th of January, to organize state and District assemblies and transact other business a3 may come up. There are upwards of 100 assemblies in the state and the basis of representation is one member for each fraction over 100 members. The call was issued by the seioner local assembly of the state, on the request of more than twenty local assemblies. The order is said to be growing very rapidly throughout the entire country and especially in Kansas. One of its features is a safe and very cheap system of insurance and another is co-operative in manufacturing and in distribution of products.

The order is non political in a partisan sense but advocates a sound system of political economy and greater purity in elections and is strongly opposed to the use of intoxicating liquors. County Commissioners The board met in special session yesterday, with all the members present and transacted the following business: Allowed sthe claims of jurors, and judges and clerk of election.

WIT AND HUMOR. A disappointed lover very often feels like wringing the neck of a belle. The singer is apt to think that all the musical world is on the high C. Emerson said: There is always room for a man of force. He had probaby met Sullivan in a crowd.

Irving smokes cigarettes almost continually. We always thought he was fond of puffs. The use of a French word in English composition frequently fills the place of an idea. New York ladies now take lessons in fencing. They hope to make themselves more killing than ever.

Conceit is like grease. It serves to lubricate the machine of life and make it run smoother. A toper defends his custom of getting tight on Thanksgiving day by saying that a man can not see Turkey without thinking of the Golden Horn. It's a mighty mean man who wrote Pull Down the Blind. He wou'd probably be in favor of beating the cripples.

A Western man calls his trotting horse 2. The animal, it is supposed, has only been successful in two races, hence his odd name. Twice wons 2. A blue-stocking has written an essay on The Disadvantage of Being Pretty. Most girls are good-natured and williug to put up with the disadvantages.

Crossgrain that all my boarders remain with me. New boarder (at first meal) Too weak to leave, I guess, after the first week. 7 The New York Sun fails to answer a correspondent who asks how can profanity on street cars and in other public places be cheeked? How would it do lo turn the rascals out. There is one cheering reflection connected with the subject of cremation. If it ever becomes general, callow poets will quit chanting their lays about the cold, cold grave.

What are you laughing at, my dear? asked Mrs Jones of her husband, who was chuckling over liis morning paper. Something I saw here, he replied, but its hardly funny enough for two. Reassuring: Sick man What! a huh physician? I want a doctor to make me well, not a woman, to make love to me. Woman physician I promise to do neither. A sick friend writes to us to ascertain the shortest road to health.

There are two paths allopaths and homeopaths, you take your choice and pay jour money. I wish I had a pug dog. said an uptown youth recently. What in the worid you want one of the critters for? asked a friend. 1 know where 1 could sell him for $15! was the earnest reply.

Married men have nothing to say disapproval of the shingled bang, As a rule, a married man doesnt care wdiat his wife does to her own hair so long as she keeps her fingers out of his.

T. J. Anderson, the Department commander, after which they marched back to Lincoln Post hall and disbanded. Obituary. Mr.

Harry Tyron, an old engineer in the employ of the Santa Fe, who died on Saturday last, was buried yesterday at three oclock p. m. ir. Tyron was a widower, and had but one daughter, who for some time past has been attending school in Atchison. Consumption was the dark hand that called him to his last resting place.

He was held in high esteem by his employers, and well liked by those who knew him best. He was a member in good standiug of the Knights of Pythias, and the funeral services were conducted under the supervision of that order. A Careless Boy. About noon to lay as Mrs. Julius Clark, of Waveland, was starting home in her buggy, a boy who was carelecsy driving a team of horses hitched to a large lumber wagon, deliberately drove his tem into the rear end of the buggy in which Mrs.

Clark wrs setting, upsetting it, and pitching the lady headlong into the street, on the corner of Fifth street and Kansas avenue. The lady, was not very badly injured, but might easily have been, had it not been for the bystanders who saw her, and caught the team before it ran over her. The buggy was broken in several places and will probably detain her here all day. say nothing of the expense of having it fixed. There are altogether too many of these young sleepy heads occupying the position of drivers through the principal thoroughfares of our city, The Span is Broken.

Yesterday morning, just after the hostler had driven Mrs. Dr. Bedden to the church, and returned to the Dr.s residence, corner of Eleventn street and Topeka Avenue, as they were afraid to trust the horses being hitched along the street, John, the driver, hitched the horses in front of the house, and start ed out to the barnyard to catch a chicken, which was to be devoured at the family dinner table. He had just reached the barn when he heard the horses, which had broken the hitch straps and started down Eleventh street. John immediately made chase for the runaways, and was just in the act of crawling over the back of the buggy, when some men came rushing out hallowing whoa! which frightened the horses into a fast run, which they kept until they reached Ninth and Topeka avenue, where the accident occurred.

There was a sharp pointed board protruding from the fence corner, and one horse jumping over it and falling down, pulled the other around, so that the point of the board- struck him in the breast and tore a hole about twelve inches long and several inches deep. While the horse is not fatally injured it will be the means of breaking up one of the finest and best mated teams in the State of Kansas. Church Dedication. The Methodist Episcopal church of Richland was dedicated to th9 service of Almighty God on Sunday, December The dedicatory sermon was preached at 11 a. m.

by Elder Rhodes of Topeka, to an attentive audience of 3C3 persons or thereabonts. After the sermon, some $303 were raised to place the church out of debt. Rev. Higgle, preacher in charge, and Rev. Lawrence, of Topeka, were present and assisted in the services.

Chief Wi gglcsworth, of Austin, is a great, dog fancier, and his kennels are nearlj- alwavs stocked with choice breeds of bird dogs, shepherds, and other blooded varieties. One day he met a bosom friend on the avenue and accosted him.
