The Herald editor poses as a punist at the expense of truth. Two-thirds of the portraits printed have been those of Democrats. We have an idea that away back in the days before every house boasted of a can opener, the cooking was better than it is to-day, says an exchange. The women place a great deal of reliance in canned goods which newspaper writers can't shake by their frightful stories of people poisoned by eating canned stuff. The women refuse to be scared and continue to gad around until five minutes to twelve, when they get dinner by using the can opener.

A case from Clark county, to be decided at Wichita, next month, is of interest to the people of this as well as other counties, as it brings before the court a question that has never been raised. The case wa3 before the Appellate court at Garden City, and the matter will be decided on an agreed statement of facts. It has been a question in the minds of some business men for a long time why the current expenses of a county should not be met before any other debt could be paid. Common sense and common business habits would dictate that it is the proper thing to do. Lakin Investigator.

The masquerade ball given under the auspices of the Cimarron Cornet Band last Friday evening was a grand success in every particular. The attendance was larger than expected, a large crowd being present from Ford and other adjoining counties. Dancing commenced about 8:30, and the sun was just showing itself in the eastern horizon when the sweet strains of music ceased and the last echoes of the "Home, Sweet Home" waltz were wafted out on the early morning air. There was good order, splendid music and a variety ot costumes which would have done credit to a town many times larger than Cimarron. Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves to the fullest extent and the affair was voted a success by those in attendance.

XOTF" The only complaint we heard was that the room was too small for the crowd. The band boys realized about $C0 from the dance, and the restaurants reaped a rich harvest in addition. A. F. Flynt, of The Jacksonian, would have carried off the second prize had it not been for the fact that all employes of the office were barred from the contest.

pd. Burrell, of Ford county, was on hand as usual, bringing with him a bevy of beautiful girls. A dance in this section of the country is not complete without Ed. and his friends. Two prizes, one of $2.50 for the best costume, and one of $1 for the best comical make-up were given by The Jacksonian.

The first was won by Miss Maude Henry, and the other by Geo. Dixon. The prizes were awarded by a committee selected by the dancers, composed of Mrs. F. V.

We desire to thank Miss Ethel Emery and Mr. E. Morrison for the interest manifested in The Jacksonian. Miss Emery was handsomely attired and represented The Jacksonian and the Topeka Mail and Breeze in a highly creditable manner. Mr.

Morrison was dressed in a suit of clothes completely covered with headings of this paper, and wore a plug hat sided up with blotters bearing a portrait of the editor. An editor who would not feel elated at this showing of friendship and good will must be made of a very poor quality of clay. Daniel L. Lockard, one of our most valuable and respected citizens, after a week's illness with typhoid pneumonia, passed away last evening, December 23, 1898, at about six o'clock. It was a complete shock to the community as he had been 6ick but a few days, less than a week.

It will be a sad Christmas, sad indeed to the relatives, knowing they have parted with a dear brother and husband. He had been married less than two years, and happy has been that union, now broken on earth. His loving and devoted wife was a continual watcher at his bedside until his Creator called him hence where there is no parting when again united. So a splendid citizen has gone. The community mourns.

R. Williams, of this city, and of W. Y. Black, who was so long in Superintendent Dyer's office here. Las Vegas (N.

Daily Optic. Applications for pensions are coming in slowly from soldiers in the recent Spanish war. I hey are not as numerous as might have been expected, considering the dangers of the Cuban climate and the lack of sanitary facilities in the different camps in the east and south. Warned by the raid made on the treasury by persons alleging disabilities contracted in the civil war, the government before mustering out the volun teers who enlisted under the call of President McKinley, gave to each soldier a thorough physical examination for the purpose of determining whether the health of the men had been affected by their army experience. This will prove a great protection to the government and at the same time it will not keep any legitimate ap plicant out of a pension.

new year will soon be here, and for heaven's sake don't make any resolutions or turn over new leaves. The person who "turns over a new leaf" the first of ever' year is a weak, vacillating, char acterless rooster who hasn metal enough to be right two days in succession, and is so utterly worthless that he is ashamed of himself every time he takes an inventory of himself. It is an unfailing rule that the "leaf turner" cannot be depended upon. The leaf will turn back before the year is out. Right yourself by deeds, and don't attempt it by resolu-j tions.

Do your duty as you see it, be just to yourself and your neilibor and you will not feel like turning over a different kind of a leaf the first of the year. Florence Bulletin. Lake Superior never gives up its dead. Whoever encounters terrible disaster happily infrequent in the tourist season and goes down in the angry, beautiful blue waters, never comes up again. From those earliest days when the daring French voyageurs in their trim birch bark canoes shirted the picturesque shores of this noble but relentless lake, down to this present moment, those who have met their deaths in mid-Superior still lie at the stone-paved bottom.

Sometimes not far from shore the bodies of people who have been wrecked from fishing smacks or from pleasure boat3 overtaken by a cruel squall have been recovered, but only after heroic efforts with dragnet or by the diver.
