Editor Gazette The Gazette of the 31st looks like its old time self, the numerous correspondents from all over the county responding to your call for items, giving the readers of your valuable paper a chance to see the many changes that are being made during the year.

Perhaps those of your patrons who live in Douglas county do not appreciate their real value like those living at a distance, they come to us like letters from old friends although we may not have known them personally, their items are of great interest to us. Of course there are the deaths and sickness of our old neighbors, which saddens and makes us feel as if a cloud was passing over us, es pecially is this true when we see those that have just emerged from childhood to man or womanhood cut down; we expect the aged to depart from us. But this is too sad a subject for me to continue. The mar riages we take great interest in, especially those who are well mated for life, and to one and all we send our New Year's greet ing, hoping they may keep up this end of their most valuable paper which we so much appreciate. And now to your able correspondent of Kaw Valley, do we most earnestly wish, with our little family unit ing in the same, a happy New Year and as many of the same as age and time will see fit to bestow.

To fill the full measure of our greeting I will have to copy, for it suits my feelings better than I can express them otherwise I wish you a Happy New Year, may roses strew your way, And paths be glad and peaceful on which you etart to-dav May golden shafts of sunshine bring just a a little rain, And gracious gifts of pleasure hold just a snaae 01 pain For skies are fairer which the clouds may sometimes overcast, Ana pleasures are the best which come when grief and pain are past; adq. 11 among your roses the ivy is en twined Your heart will beat the nearer to the hearts of all mankind. Christmas in Arkansas is celebrated with more booming of cannon and display of fireworks than Fourth of July. Christmas trees were in every neighborhood no less than five of these trees were in the town of Heber. Everybody appeared to be in the best of spirits, and some appeared to have more spirits than usual.

One woman re marked: "We used to have such a good time on Christmas, in southern Illinois always had a big jug of whisky and fine cakes." The jue of whiskv is as indispen sable on these occasions as it use to be at harvest time in our old native State of Pennsylvania. The weather here is fine frosty nights and sunshining days. The other day our two little boys were down along the branch, and they brought home with them wild pansies in lull bloom. I have one of the finest branches of misseletoe, laden with its clear, white crystal-like berries and thick green leaves, which makes a great contrast with the sere, brown leaves of the oak and hickory then too for decorative purposes the holly can't be beaten its dark green foliage with bright scarlet berries, is a beauty indeed; cedar and pine are too com mon for these purposes. The lofty pine, as you look over the hills, raising their heads away above the loftiest oaks makes them look like underbrush and when we look at the fine timber going to waste we think na ture should have used more economy in her distribution of this material.

If Kansas could have just what timber this State could spare and this b'ate an equal amount of I Kansas prairie, then this timber would be of great benefit to all, and instead of its being felled and rolled into heaps and WM.

Amid dangers and troubles on every hand she never was known to lose courage or to falter in the purpose for which she and her husband were laboring. In the dark hours, that at times appeared to cast a shadow over their little company, seemingly left entirely to the mercy of the savages around them, she was ever hopeful, trustful, confident, and ready to strengthen and encourage those around her.

Her confidence in was suf ficient to sustain her, and as in life, so in death, she relied with a trusting faith upon the keeping power of mun'souly Saviour. In all the vicissitudes of life amid these trials and dangers, her bus-bond found no one so ready to hold up his hands as she. none more wis? in counsel or fruitful in resources than his faithful companion. In 18S3 Mr. and Mrs.

Miles with their interesting family, removed to Lawrence, where they haye since resided, and here she is known best in her ble character and her worthy deids. Many are the households in this city that can bear testimony to her worth in the community. She was a mi ci the Associated Board of. Charities of the city, and has been active in looking after and providing for the necessities of those in destitute circumstances. Even after stricken with disrns her mind often reverted to her connection with this work, and one of the lust acts of her useful and eventful life was to give directions for supplying the immediate wants of some needy families.

Scarcely had she ceased to work unselfishly and lovingly for those around her, dear to her by human ties, or brought near by suffering and want, when she closed her eyes on the scenes- of life only to open again, in a moment of time.in the land of Immortal sunshine. Mrs. Miles was not only active in her work of charity, but in all the vnrious lines of church work the same fsiiirit was manifest. Though always desir ous to remain in the back ground, to occupy positions -as inconspicuous ne possible, yet her worth was recognized by those associated with her. and hernobic purpose, unselfish interest.

and her excellent judg nnt were sure to force her to the front even Bg'iinst her desire and choice. But whatever her worth and excellence may hay- be-Mi in public life and in the society around hr. most resplendent was her character in that domain where woman's life and influence sends f. rth brightest luster the home. Without the mother, home is but a home in name.

In this homo mother was life and strength, inspiration and purpose. Such was the appreciation of the husbanJ, that the wife was to him a tower of strength. Children of mature years felt urged on to noble pur pose by her presence, and the little ones drew inspiration from her life. Thrice happy they who are blessed with such a mother. Mrs.

Miles was at the time of her death a member of the association of lady managers of the Columbian Expesirion, ap- pointed for the Territory of Oklahoma. For the past two years she had devcted much tirae and attention to this work. and already her excellent judgment mnr A 1 A A 1 1 win ner piace oe filled in that body. Long will she be missed in the church where she was ever active in good work; but in the homes of her friends, and among the neighbors that had known her, an angel of mercy, full of good words and deeds, of sympathy and bless ing, will there be a vacancy that none can fill, a want that cannot be supplied. In the home she so loved and honored, filled with her presence, and cheered with her pleasant smiles and kindly words, a Jitfht has gone out forever, Forever? When spirit communes with spirit, when human eyes are closed to the darkness around, where hearts heavy with sorrow keep time to lonesome moments, when weary minds shut out the thoughts of empty rooms and unused things once familiar to hands now still, when spirit with spirit would commune.

in the 6tillne8 of the hour a loving breathing may be felt, a hallowed touch recognized, loving hearts by faith may hear sounds inaudible to other ears, and who will doubt the breath, the touch. the voice is Mother. Blesstd are the dead that die in the Lord." HjThe husband, one daughter and three sons are left in the home to mourn her loss, and to miss her at every gathering of the family circle. The three married daughters were with her in her last hours, Mrs. Frank March, Mrs.

O. Woodard, and Mrs. E. Kinsey of Cincinnati. "What would your father say if he knew you had been playing poker for 25 cent bets?" asked the faculty of one of the stu dents Friday.

He usu- ally piayB lor live or ten aouars wiuacu," ship, by cold storage, several weeks earlier than the fruit growers of Kmsas can possibly do, and the markets the west are burs ted before Kansas berries begin to come in. This is something Kans is cannot regulate only in years when there is a failure in the several southern stares. After people have been'gorged on cheap berries it is impossible to raise the price to anything like a paying business, no matter how fine the fruit. At this time of year the fruit growers all along the Iron Mountain railroad begin to look up their pickers and send them notice when the berries begin to ripen up; this gives whole families a chance to make choice of who they will pick for, also to have things so arranged that they can move down.

The berry raisers furnish houses for the pickers, also stoves on which to do their cooking. Your correspondent has been anything but well for some time and at times I feel as if it will not be long before I take the long journey on which no one can tell where it ends; there have been so many theories advanced in regard to the future that for myself I am willing to let come what will it will be no worse on the way than it is through what we have passed, and am con tent to travel the road so many have passed over; we do not feel responsible for our coming or our going, so we will not kick when the time comes to quit. I will send you a saloon notice, cut from one of the Heber papers. You will see how different it reads from other men's notices in the same business, only looked at in a different light in different sections of our country AN OPEN GATE TO UELU At the county court, last Monday, A. K.

Lewis received an appointment in the Dev il's Cabinet, and will soon take charge of a new Branch War department to be located on the mountain a few miles southeast of here, where he will "give men their freedom" and a free pass to Hell. Where he will receive the food and raiment of the broken hearted wife and the helpless chil dren. Where the boy that otherwise might have made a useful man, will get his start that leads first, to disrespect, then to crime and Anally his body to a drunkard's grave, his soul to a drunkard's Hell. It is strange Ah very strange indeed, that highly re spected, upright men will let their passion for money lead them from home and family to some mountain den where evil reigns su preme and good can never come. In the death of Senator Plumb Kansas has lost one of her best workers his place cannot be filled by the present aspirants for his seat, this, too, when Kansas needs some one to pull her through a political battle soon to be fought.

When Cleveland's sil ver letter firt came out he was denounced all through tUo south as a Wall street can didate, but some of the leading papers are taking it back. Then when he refused to open up the Indien territory but left this for little Benny to do, the cry of cattle king candidate will be the howl, and locking up the people's money in the United States treasury vaults, will also help to defeat him in the race for president.

J. I. Miles. Mrs. Lucy Miles, wife of Hon.

John D. Miles, died at the family home, last Wednesday, of pneumonia, after an in ness oi two weeks, lhe funeral was largely attended on Friday. Mrs. Miles was the daughter of Willis Davis, and Ann Coggeshall Davis of Grant county. Ind.

She was born March 7 1838. in Newport, but most of ner cnimnooa aays were passed near Marion, in Grant county, where her par 1 -a ents settled when she was quite young. TTT vvnen grown to womannooc sue was a student in Earlham ccllege.at Richmond, for some time, where she was high ly esteemed by all who knew ner. In 1857 she was married to John D. Janes at tne rnenas cnuicn ox ner na tive place, of which church she was a life long and active member.

For a number of years they resided at Wabash, until Mr. Miles was appointed Uni- ted States Indian agent for the Kickapoo Indians. Here they resided for three years, laboring among the Indians of this trine. Mr. Miles was then transferred to the Cheyenne Agency in the In dian Territory, to which place Mrs.

Miles accompanied her husband. and for twelve years she was his con stant companion and helper in the ardu- Country Weekly. THE GAZETTE has thor oughly established the rep utation of being the best weekly paper published in Douglas county. That it outranks all others in cir culation and number of readers is Eproof of this statement. Its constant aim is to present a paper to its readers that gives them the news not only of Lawrence but of all the surrounding and tributary country.

It makes no claims to being anything but a "country weekly' but it endeavors to fulfill all that that term implies. Its purpose is to collect and publish all the news of interest to the nnnntrv rpnilfirs that it is I nnssii.lr to obtain. Tt is a coimiry as wen as a ciiy pu- per. Essentially a News Paper. Jio paper puDiisuea in Douglas county pays any sucli attention to the hap penings in the country dis tricts as THE GAZETTE does.

This popular feature of THE GAZETTE will be made stronger than ever for the new year. Over 5,000 Words Each Week of special correspondence from all over the county from 17 regular and many occasional correspondents. No Other Paper Equals this. Politically The Gazette will con tinue to advocate the cause of the peo ple against monopolies and orings, and to advocate the principles of true Jef- fersonian Democracy, abelieving that those principles are for the greatest good to the greatest number. It be lieves that the democratic party is the party the people and that the demo- cratic party has the interest of the I masses of the people at heart.

Democ racy stands for reform of all kinds and for the rights and liberties of the Amer ican people. But The Gazktte is fair minded. It does not believe that the worst democrat that ever lived is better than the best republican that ever lived. It will continue to vigorously oppose the robber tariff and every other measure inimical to the welfare of the peo ple of this country. THE PRICE of this paper is $1.50 a year.

To induce new and old subscribers to abandon the credit system, which has lost Tbe Gazette thousands of dollars, we offer the paper for one dollar where the sub scription is absolutely paid in advance. Under no other consideration do we make this reduced price. NecessitT in Every Household Is what The Gazette has grown to be.
