Oh, yes, Tommy EMdge, of Western Herald, had something to say about somebody's ancestry not long ago. We had almost forgotten about it. D. K. Obata, a native of Japan, will deliver a lecture on the "Manner ard ing a store room in which he will keep for sale a general stock of merchandise.

Presley Ntrss, the farmer living near Beulah who had his barn destroyed by fire early jin the month, is erecting a large barn. When men are growling because a town does not grow let them ask themselves how many dollars and days' time they have expended in helping it along. The new school house will be a valuable acquisition to east Girard, and the people of the third ward can no longer claim that they have none of the public improvements.

The best field of wheat reported so far has been by the Allen Bros. As stated in the Press a few days ago, ten acres av.

eraged 38 bushels per acre. It was an estimate, and as the figures appeared a little fishy, the ground has been measured and the product weighed, and the average yield was 39i bushels per aore. Leg Hurt. J. Z.

Thomas was hauling hay from the country Friday, and the wagon tipped over with him, a half mile this side of CoL Percy Daniels's farm.

Fan Party. The party given by Mrs. L. B. Wright Friday evening was a social success.

It took the form of a fan party, and the decorations, souvenirs, and everything connected therewith, Don Quixote like, turned into fans. The walls were per fectly and literally covered with those atmospheric disturbers, and each guest was requested to write the answer to a question on a fan, and those fans will be kept as souvenirs, to be read and re read when Mrs. Wright shall have moved to Colorado. Cards and dancing were enjoyed by those who indulge in those luxuries, and an elegant supper was served. The following persons were present J.

Adsit, and Mrs. Beach, of Carthage. To the Memory of John P- Stanley. Last Monday dawned bright and fair. Sweet was the air and bright the sun shine.

Nature's God seemed smiling over all. Unmete it seemed that such a day should bring to any aught of sorrow. But, ah! pen cannot tell nor mind describe that of but a single household. Near 3 p. if rightly learned, one loved by all was that day taken from our midst.

John P. Stanley, aged near 24, son of Wm. and Mary Stanley, of Washington township, District 75, passed from the wearying trials of life on earth to the hallowed bliss of life eternal, where storms cannot enter and where sorrows are no more. Five years ago, perhaps a little long er, a precious blossom was plucked from the love nurtured garden of this selfsame family circle, sweet Nona, whose long illness, intense suffering, and untiring patience did more to teach Christ and his love, and the strength and reality in the religion of Je9us Christ, to this community, than e'er so long a revival effort has ever done." Our Father, in his mysterious providence, saw fit to call Nona, at the tender age of 15, from this cold world of trouble, and how sweet, how Heavenly was her death She told her dear ones that she but went before, and asked each to meet her there where Jesus 'aids us welcome. John has gone.

He met her there, and with his angel sister but waits to bid their loved ones "Welcome home." Twenty-four years of age. Full of promise and pride of an expanding manhood, the sustaining pillar of that dear home, so darkened by this sudden blow. Proudly upon his strong young arm leaned mother, father, two sisters and two younger brothers, whose love and devotion, fathomless and more like that of Heaven than of earth, prompted the unexcelled care which he received during his short illness. So short, too. Scarce two weeks ago and John was among us.

Little we know of the morrow. The reaper Death oft comes with out warning, thrusts in the sharpened sickle and severs the golden cord of life. Dear young friends of him who but lately was in our midst, it may be you, it may be to whom this Reaper may next come. A perfect model of strong youn; manhood, he stood a bright and shining light to all young men of his acquaint ance. Professing Christ in his earlier boy hood, he was baptized, and the whole souled Christianity, towering o'er a pure young lire, was its crowning beauty.

The cares of life seemed to be draw ing him a little from the path, but with a heart full of thanksgiving we are per mitted to tell all who loved him, be did not go unprepared. He left the sweet assurance that all was well, and that he was satisfied. On Tuesday his remains were attended to the Union cemetery by a concourse of more than a hundred loaded vehicles, not mentioning those on horses and on foot, and, under the auspices of the Se lect Friends, of which society he was a member, gently was laid to rest All that love and taste could prompt was done in these last offices for him who is not dead but only gone, gone before us to our Christ-bought home. Dear ones, bereaved, blessed, indeed, is the boy in whom your loving hearts were centered. No word of comfort do we offer, for words are inaduquate to express our sympathy, and that of the whole community.

Comfort you we cannot. God be with you is our prayer. Look to Je-bus. In him you will find comfort, and, dear young friends, loved by the dear young brother we ne'er shall see again, and by the writer, look to Jesus. You who have not made your peace with God, wait not another day nor another hour, for ye know not the day nor the hour when the Son of Man cometh.

Let your motto from now on be "Upward and onward. And ye of Christ, beset with doubts and shakings of your faith, oh hasten to return. Consecrate your life to Him anew, and, as never before, perform each duty in life for Christ's sake and in His name, and when we come up to life's closing day, that we may hear, as our beloved brother John has heard, "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou in the joys of thy Lord," is our prayer. A Friend and School Mate. the Presbyterian Church.

A FARMER by the name of Towery, east of McCune, threshed his wheat last Friday, and it averaged 34 bushels per acre. G. W. Bugg and son Fred, of Mc Cune, were in town Monday and paid the Press a pleasant visit. S.

A. Bugg, of Tennessee, 111., a brother of G. W. accompanied them. Change of Property.

Elder W. S. Webb traded a fine roadster horse for a Jersey cow. The horse was without a blemish, and will compare favorably with the better grades of animals. The cow is two years old.

Another of those terrible accldentB which happen on railroads and bring sorrow and mourning in the home cir cle took place yesterday afternoon at McElhaney's switch, six miles south of Neosho, Ma The local freight which leaves here at 7 :15 o'clock going south, went out on time yesterday morning in charge of Conductor George Bart hold ic and Engineer Jay Travers, with engine No. 1, and between two and three o'clock yesterday afternoon ran into an open switch, at McElhaney's, wrecking the engine and five cars.

The locomotive left the switch and ran about ten feet before falling over and the cars piled on top. The engineer was killed instantly, and Grant GratiB, the fireman, is so seriously injured that it is thought he will die. When the engine turned after going through the switch Travers, the engineer, was caught with his head by the timbers of the window of his cab, and it was mashed into a pulp, killing him instantly. His hand was on the throttle, but the arm arm was broken. The fireman's in juries resulted more from escaping steam than any other cause, being bad ly scalded about the face and arms, be sides having inhaled the hot steam.

He crawled out of the wreck himself, but is a pitiable sight to behold. His parents live in Diamond, which is this side of Neosho. He is a young man and unmarried. He was taken to Neo sho for medical treatment, but it is claimed by the physicians that he can not possibly live. Jay Travers, with his wife, to whom he was married a little over a year ago, was a resident of this city and highly respected by all who knew him.

He was about twenty-four years old, and a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, with a life insurance policy of $1,500. His remains were brought in this morning on the north bound passenger and taken to his borne on north Joplin avenue between Seventh and Kighth stroeta. They will be embalmed and taken to his boyhood home in Wil-loughby, Ohio, and interred in the family burial lot. His young wife is almost beside herself with grief at the sudden ending of a happy married life. Mr.

Travers was the brother of W. H. Travers, formerly master mechanic of the Pittsburg route, and was a favorite among his fellow workmen and all who were acquainted with him. The be reaved wife and relatives have the sym pathy of a large circle of friends in this city. Alf Wilson, living southeast of this city, tells a mocking bird story which would seem altogether improbable, but to those who are well acquainted with this species of feathery songsters is not at all incredible.

He also says his wife has a mocker among her collection which is away up in its peculiar imitations of the cat, chickens, birds of all kinds, and can whistle up a dpg in a way that would make the ambitious boy whistler green with envy, but the interesting part of the story comes in when he tells that one day a week or two ago it commenced to give the pe culiar call a mother quail gives her young when she wants to get them together and kept it up for some time, when Mr. Wilson was sitting on the porch reading where the bird's cage was hanging and paying no atten tion to-it. He incidentally glanced ud after a little while and looked down a path leading to a barn when to his surprise he saw a flock of young quails running toward the house. They dodged under the porch while the mocker kept up his call and could not be got away until he and his wife caught them and carried them back to the field where they came from. Miss Minnie McClinton, of Yale, was fined one dollar and costs in Justice Wayde's court today for assault upon Miss Annie Stone.

She paid up and was discharged. There is a story con nected with the above incident, but all the particulars are not public From tbe Headlight, July 18th. V. Maxwell, of Girard, spent Sunday with his son Walter of this city. He re turned home this morning accompanied by his grandson Master Claude Maxwell, who will visit for a week or two.

For several days bad blood has existed between Carrie Thomas and Julia Beckwell, both of the colored population at Yale mines, over two pairs of shoes and two or three balmoral dresses. It seems that the Thomas woman who had been boarding with Julia Beckwell concluded a few days ago to leave, but she owed for a couple of weeks board. Julia, in order to catch even, took possession of the dresses and shoes. Carrie let her keep them at the time, but after meditating over the matter made up her mind this morning to have her clothing. Accordingly she armed her self with a revolver, called upon Julia, and demanded her clothes.

Julia said she would see her in hades before she would give them up. The revolver was then brought into play by Carrie and she pointed the muzzle in the di rection of Julia and pulled the trigger. A deafening report but no one hurt was the result, and soon a crowd gathered. Julia, who had her razor handy, pro ceeded to carve the woman who used her for a target, and before they could be separated Carrie was badly cut on the arms. Both are now resting on their arms, but the injured one is wait ing until she gets wlL John Bennett has bought of P.

Mark-ley the double-front old rattletrap of a building across the street from W. A. Bird's blacksmith shop, and is having it torn down. It will be rebuilt in the north part of town and used for a chick en house. Charged With Stealing Chickens, Sheriff Deets took S.

S. Palmer and W. S. Kingsbury, of Lincoln township, to Pittsburg Tuesday, where they had a preliminary hearing upon the charge of stealing chickens. Palmer was fined $1 and costs and given 60 days in jail; and Kingsbury was held to the district court in the sum of $500 for burglary.

They are both in the county jail. Fined for Assault. Edgar Lane and Philip Dalton were brought before Judge Smith Monday for assaulting Henry W. Burden, Lane plead guilty, and on request of the county attorney clemency was asked in the assessment of fine. The judged taxed the defendant $1 and costs, amounting to $19.15.

Dalton asked for a trial, and after consultation he was discharged. 3Iore Good Wheat. Mr. Riley Hershberger, of Crawford township, threshed his wheat Monday of last week, and got 1 ,048 bushels off of thirty-nine acres by machine meas ure. As the grain is of excellent quali- ity it will gain in weight, and thus add more to the already good average yield.

Mr. Hershberger is one of the pio neers of Crawford county, and one of our most successful farmers. Farewell Party. John Wallace, living north of Yale, gave a farewell party Sunday in hon- of James Dennison, who was ready to start to California. Mr.

Dennison was postmaster at Yale for a long time, but failing health has made it necessary for him to seek a milder climate. A large crowd attended the dinner, and the Yale band furnished fine and inspiring music. Abstract of Assessment. The county clerk has completed the abstract of the assessment roll of Craw ford county for 1894. The total value of all taxable property is $5,293,001.

Of this amount $1,437,138 is railroad property, $1,138,504 town lots, 567 personal property, and $2,182,792 lands. The total number of acres of land taxed is 370,142, averaging $5.89 and 7-10th per acre. There are 16,628 town lots, the average value of which is $08.47. Real Estate Transfers.

B. Hall. Room 5 Bertie Hamilton. Room 4 Alva Miller. Room 3 Emma Ausemua Room 2 Kate alloy.

Rooml Alice Perry. The board has attempted to cut down expenses, and the principal superin tends and teaches in room 6, taking the place of two. Mr. R. E.

Curran was the former principal. The new census shows that there are 207 males and -205 female children of school age in the district, or 412 in all. Last year 428 was the number of children reported. The population of Cherokee shows an increase of over 400 for 1894, but it looks a little queer that the school population should decrease. The bonds of district Nos.

122 and 107 have been sold to the state school fund commissioners and the money received. Miss Kate Malloy is said to be a can didate for county superintendent before the Peoples party convention.

Supt. C. M. Light has been elected superintendent of the schools of Joplin, Mo. Mr.

Light is one of the veteran school men of Kansas, is a scholar, and a successful superintendent. We congratulate Joplin on its choice. The annual election of school officers in the rural districts will occur July 2fith. The following item stolen from an educational journal is worth reading in this connection The members of the district board may stand in front in the annual meeting while an interested voter, in a Christian manner and with a deep bass voice, asks the following questions: How often have you and each of you visited the school during the year? Have you mowed the weeds and grass, repaired the fences, windows, doors, outhouses, and blackboards, when necessary? Do the outhouses now conform to the decencies and proprieties? Have you furnished the teacher all needed crayons, erasers, maps, apparatus? Looking back on your official work, can you upon the whole say, "We have been profitable If you cannot say this, but much the opposite, would it not be a Christian and graceful thing for you to resign before you resume your seats? The time is near at hand when the school tax levies will be voted by the the several districts for the ensuing year, and the tax-payer will be on hand and groan very loudly at every attempt to increase the fund which goes to benefit the rising generation. One of the Kansas school laws gives power to raise money for the public school libraries.

There could not be made a better investment for a country district, and the benefit to the scholars cannot be measured in dollars. The provisions of the law are given 'The law gives the annual meeting power to authorize the levying a library tax. Districts having a valuation of $20,000 or less can levy a tax of 2 mills one each dollar of valuation from to $30,000, 14 mills: from $30,000 to $50,000, 1 mill; $50,000 and upwards, half mill. The library is as essential in the schoolroom as the arithmetics, grammars, and spellers yea, more essential, for a good book may be in the life of a pupil an inspiring force forever and forever; and that means infinitely more than complex sentences, fractiong, capes, peninsulas, and It is rumored that R.

Turner vs John T. Deets and C. Copeland, injunction; The National Bank of Pittsburg vs James M. Engle and others, abstract of judgment. Unlucky.

Loyal Crawford seems to have been born under an unlucky star. A couple of weeks ago he kicked too hard against some obstruction, and dislocated the joint of one of his little toes. Then he stepped on a rusty nail, from the effects of which he has not yet recovered. Last Saturday while out hunting he stepped with his other foot on a hedge thorn, and broke the thorn off in his foot, and has been unable to get it out. He has to walk around on his heels.

Added to this, he camped out on Lightning creek one night, and the mosquitoes feasted upon his anatomy until his appearance is something similar to Barnum's tattooed man. If he don't take a turn for the better soon he will have to order a pair of crutches. HO Members. The George E.

The outlook for a strong Republican vote in that section is better than heretofore, and the work of organization in other parts of tbe county should commence in the same enthusiastic and thorough way. Republicans always gain votes by an aggressive and enthusiastic campaign. The club will meet again July 28th. Afternoon Whist and Tea Party.

Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires consti tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
