The office of coroner of Cowley coun is an important one and no better officer ever held it than Dr Cooper. There is not much salary attached to the office, but Dr Cooper has in every instance attended" to his duties in a first class manner. In short, Dr Cooper was the omost efficient coroner this county ever had.

The inquests he has held during his term of office have been thorough, and the investigations have been conducted in a very satisfac tory manner. The doctor is no longer coroner now.Jbut he made an excellent official and deserves the commendation our citizens. Last evening in Highland hall the Pastime club held its Calico balL It was the best and most enjoyable dance the season. There were about thirty couples in attendance and each lady wore a handsome new calico dress. The eleventh dance the men drew calico bows for their partners and cons siderable merriment was created.

After the ball the crowd adjourned to the St Charles hotel, where an elegant spread was served in the best style. All the guests were delighted with the spread and the splendid manner in which it was served. The calico dance will al ways be remembered with pleasure. This morning a young1 man went into a hardware store and asked if they had any knucks to sell. The clerk told him no, that if they wanted to go after a man they took a revolver or club.

is a is be Attempt to Lammm Wheln Every since the bicycle was invented there has been an argument going on between the riders and the farmers in regard to the highway. The law says a wheelman is entitled to half the road. the same as anv other vehicle. The wheelmen hare attempted to demand this right. The farmers, as a general rule, have agreed that they are entitled to all of the road as they come along in their two horse wagons or carriages and it has always been like pulling- eve teeth to get them to turn out and share the road, Thus the conflict has crone on and will probably continue until the farmers all take to the wheel.

The conflict now is not so strong1 as it was. It has diminished 'greatly, but there are still many who refuse to share the road. When the wheel first made its advent in this vicinity, it was not difficult to make the horse give the road. The bicycle was a new thing and nearly every horse would shy and turn out of the road. However, the wheel soon cot old and the horses res fused to shv.

Then the wheelmen put on bells and "devil squakers" to fricrhten the horses and make them give the road. In those days when a wheelman and a farmer met upon the highway there was generally a squabs ble, resulting sometimes in a fight. Lately but little trouble has been heard of between the wheelman and people who ride the highways with heavy vehicles. However, two wheelman told us cf a recent experience and narrow escape they had from a couple of cowboys. The wheelman had been down in the strip and were returning home.

They met a man in a farm wagon and two cowboys on horses. The man in the wagon refused to turn out. The riders stayed on their wheels and rode on one side of the road. When about to collide the horses shied and turned out and the wheelmen rode safely by. The man in the wagon was furious but the wheelmen only gave him the horse laugh.

However their mirthful feels ings so on chanced. As they were gliding along at a good gait on a nice stretch of road they happened to look around. Behind them on their ponies came the two cowboys on a dead run. Each held his lariat in his hand ready for use. As the wheelmen beheld what was behind them their feelings under went a great change.

They realized in an instant that they had no laugh coming. As they had a nice stretch of road for a mile or more they concluded to make a run for it but at the end of the stretch there was a big hilL Then the sprint began, The wheelman did their best and the cowboys ponies seem to be flying. On they sped and the wheelmen had no trouble keeping out of the way. The race continued until the hill was reached. There it ended the riders jumped from their wheels to keep from being roped and dragged off.

They stood their grounds and when the cowboys came up they talked pretty nice. One remarked that those ponies were mighty good ones and the other suggested that it was a pretty nice rode we had The nice talk stuck and the cowboys gave up their intent tion of roping the wheelmen and the quartette parted pretty good friends. Two Arkansas City Horses. The Win field Courier has a write up of the horses being trained at the fair ground. In the write up they mention two Arkansas City horses as follows: Bish has just received a green pacer sired by Westbrook promises to develop into quite a speedy horse.

He has shown him eighths in 18 seconds to a road cart without be ing called upon. He is owned by Ben Conrad, of Arkansas City. AG Deputy has just taken in charge one of the handsomest twosyearold fillies that's owned in Kansas. She is three years old this fall, stands 15K hands high and is as neat and trim as the eye might wish. She is sired by Westbrook, and her dam is by Stillson, and best of all, she has a kind disposition and it is claimed by those who know her that she can spin a SO gait.

At a meeting of the board of education held Jan llt 1898, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas: Mr Chas Sipes, member of the board of education from the Sees ond ward, has ben suddenly and mysteriously removed from our midst, Resolved, That in his death we each feel a personal loss. He was ever kind, courteous and considerate in his deal ings with his associates. The board has lost a member who was ever diligent and earnest in advo eating those measures which he felt would advance the best interests of our city schools.

While we deplore his loss, we humbly bow to the supreme will of Him who doeth all things well. Resolved, That a copy of these resos lutions be spread upon our minutes, furnished the city press and sent to the relatives of the deceased. Lent, Dr Parson, vCommmittee.

No known remedy for women eqni thorn. Cannot do harm Hie oe- comes a Pleasure. 1 of ty of of On Motto For Ocd and Home and Every Land "Business Meeting' First Thursday of each Month Study and Sociability third Thursday of each month The WCTD of Arkansas City has existed as an organization for sixteen years, and like other societies that are for the betterment of mankind, the CTU, although finding it slow, planting moral reforms, and nourishing them to a prosperous growth against the onslaughts of the enemy, take courage in remembering that it is only a little that each one can do to usher in the glad millennial day. and although satan may ever so hard a war. yet we labor for the right, because the right through Christ must win.

We have a society of fifty members, and seven departments of aggressive work. They are all in the interest of God and Home. Some people seem to think that women ought not not to have anys thing1 to do with national affairs, but once when a nation was on the verge of destruction, a woman stepped to the front and saved a nation. If woman has done this once, is it too much to hope, all else failing, that she may be the chosen instrument in God's hand that shall do it again? The Bible is a looking glass in which every man may behold his natural face, and with this instrument he may probe to the bottom of the most aggravating case and at the same time find a remedy for every complaint. The same book deals with nations as aptly as with individuals.

What has been true of other nations is true of this nation. We cannot violate God's law with impunity and while as an organization we hate intoxicating liquors and are many times helpless to rescue a friend who may be swiftly borne down by this curse, we will work and watch and pray for the time to come when the right of franchise shall be granted to women. Most women will yote on the side of truth and morality. And the attitude of women toward vice and crime is why eo many politicians oppose giving woman the ballot. For years past we notice how, at our religious gatherings, we have been passing strong resolutions against the liquor traffic but if our fathers, brothers, husbands and sons will go the polls and vote against it, it will beat all the resolutions that were ever passed and if the angry clouds that have "hung over our nation for so long a time, be held back by a tide of pross perity, would that this might be turned in all lawful channels until we might see how righteousness exalteth a na tion, as we now see that sin is a shame to any people.

The attitude of the christian citizen ought to be one of hostility toward the saloon. That is not the hope of the liquor power. A cartoon in the Ram's Horn of November 6th, portrays the situation to exactness, although it is probable that this cartoonist did wise, lier than he knew whan he made his picture. The cartoon is labeled "danger." A train named ''the Republic" coming down the track; just ahead the saloon is piling' up obstructions, which must inevitably wreck the train; christian citizen swith a lantern to give the signalfand stop the train before it gets to the saloon wreckage. If that represents the true situation, the christian citizen is not acting up to the level of his opportunity for doing the wisest thing for.

his country. The saloon stands plainly across the way of the republic's progress, but the thing to do is not to stop the republic, but remove the obstruction from the track. The citizen has it in his power, and to do less than exercise it is to help wreck the republic, no matter how many dan ger signals he displays. Christian citizens should quit waving lanterns, and unite to overthrow the liquor traffic, the wrecker of our personal and national well being. Douglass Trib- one.

This is the age of specialists. Specialists in the professions, specialists in the arts, in trades, in science; special ists in everything. The best results are obtained by specialists.

The world laughs and sneers and lends no aid, especially to those who are interested in moral reforms, and more especially if the organization composed of women, but the work goes on and success cornea The world commends and there are heroes and heroines now, for nothing succeeds like success.

WILLU2S Clevelanftlj: in a General Ilaaacer of tfee Hta Fe Pleases the Grievance Committee. xne memoers or tne general griev ance committee of the now in session in this city, are feeling good natured today. General Manager Frey told the committee that the Santa Fe conductors, for gentlemanly conduct, were far above the average of the con ductors on the American railways. Thefcommittee spent an hour visit ing with Mr Frey, and after discussing a number of subjects, the general man ager told the 'members ivhat he thought of the Santa Fe conductors in general after association with them for several years. sThe opinion was so gratifying that the conductors are today singing the praises of General Manager Frey.

"It would be far more agreeable to the company if we never had to diss charge a conductor," said Mr Frey in the. course of his talk, "for with every change is the possibility of some miss takelbeing made which may result in injury to.the company. I hope that during the present year we will not find it necessary to dispense with the services of a single conductor, and should be very happy at the end of the year to look back and see a perfectly clear record for the 12 months as far as our conductors are concerned. I don't think there was ever a more amicable feeling between the members of the and the management of the Santa Fe than at present and personally I will do all inmy power to prolong it." Topeka Journal. From Fort Smith.

The following letter from Miss Ols lie Cusey will be read with interest by the many friends of the family, and of those who she mentions as former resis dents of this city: Fobt Smith, Ark, Jan 12, '97. Mrs Eckert and loved ones all; I expect before now you have had the report of the terrible cyclone which struck Fort Smith last night. We were outside of the sweep of the storm, however, we realised there was a terrible commotion and got up and dressed, but did not know of the fury of the storm until about a half hour afterward when we found a portion of the city was in ruins, and it being the portion where a great many people lived over the stores, made the death rate much greater. The last report, of course, as reports go, they had 57 at the morgue and the hospitals full of wounded and dying. The Bakers and Hardways are also safe, Oh, the sight is terrible; they are still digging for bodies among the smoldering ruins.

It was a pitiful sight last night to see people trying to find their friends with all communication cut off, and houses down, You will get a better report than can give you, so I will not try. It Eeems miraculous that we are safe and our home unharmed. Lovingly, Ollib. A Bear End Collision. xne Daiiast tram coiner south in charge of Conductor Frank Conway and Engineer Zorn run into No 453, in charge of Conductor Woodcock a Ponca City this morning, badly smash ing up fifteen cars.

Two of the mashed cars were loaded with wheat and i scattered badly. Some of the ballast cars were broken into and piled on each other. Both engines were dis abled and badly injured. The wreck. ing train was sent out from here soon after the collision to pick it up.

The fog was so dense that even the red lan terns refused to show any distance and there is no blame attached to the crews so far as we could learn. None of either crew was hurt which was very lucky under the circumstances. Both trains were south bound. The main track was badly torn up but the side track is being used for the trains and there will be no delay. The north bound train was about thirty minutes late on aecount of it.
