Gleisner who was convicted of selling liquor contrary to the present druggist law.

In our opinion it is dilll-eult for a druggist to sell intoxicating liquor under tho present law, and not lay himself liable. The surest way not to be convicted Is to not sell any at all, then the druggist runs no risk.

The Pioneer Insurance Agency of Chapman, Ks is represented by F. U. Lillie. He represents the Phoenix, of Hartford, Plienix, of Brooklyn. Niagara, of New York and Common ial Union of London.

The above are among I lie best companies in existence und wi.l do to tie to in an emergency of Fire, Cyclone or Lightning. He does not claim to do a cheap insurance but lie does claim to do a safe one at the lowest living rates. Mr. Lillie proposes from this on, to give more attention to Farm Insurance, and fanners who desire insurance will do well to call on him. Don't give your insurance to strangers, but to some reliable resident agent so that when you have a losa you know where to find your man.

Mr. Lillie has settled losses for the following men and you can refer to anv of them as to his reliability. D. Ilick-ey, Dave Goheen, S. W.

Deihl, Gallagher, D. W. Naill Co. If you have any property that is not covered by insurance don't wait but call at once and have the work done.

They each receive five thousand dollars a rear and perquisites, to sav nothing of the honor of writing and S. afer their names; they are "distinguished guests" wherever they go; they are invited to all levees and receptions, to all festivals and amusements; (hey are banqueted br the President and entertained by Cabinet1 Ministers; and they are welcome to every species of domest and foreign hospitality, from a charity-bill to a german at tbe legation, where tbey may move solemnly through the figures ol the stately minuet, or dance to the livelier music of a cotillion and Virginia reel.

Altogether, their careers are decidedly agreeable, and the averagj Congressman would s.rvo his country for life, and "nominate his bones' to fill the vacancy occasioned by death. The bright little so i of. a Senator evidently thought the Senate was an hereditary ins itution: for, wben asked what he intended to be on reach-y insf manhood, he mournfully anhwered; "Well, I'd like to be a hick-driver. but I s'po I'll have to be a Senator!"

K. Church on the evening of Washington's Birthday, under the auspices of t'ie Yovng Ladies Aid Society, was a grand success in every way. 1 lie proceeds lieing nearly fifty dollars: This pays their subscrip tion to the parsonage fund of thirty dol lars and leaves a nice little surplus for other purposes. The young ladies com posing this society, and who have on former occasions, as well as at this time, materially aided in every good work undertaken for the church, are Misses Carrie 1 hisler, Eliza and Fanny Baker, Mabel Roe. Mary Hewitt, Utie White- hair, Mary Hubbard and Adele Roudiez.

Our people can well be proud of such a society of young ladies. We believe few places of the size of Chapman can produce as exemplary ones, as those above imed. We believe it to be their sincere purpose to make those around them happy and to raise the standard of the society in which they move. Following is the program for the Chapman literary March Bee.

The year 1886 is likely to prove a splendid year for getting out of debt and laying tip something against a rainy day." Good times are already with us if we will only make it so.

There is no occasion for gripping the purse strings. Let them loose and the dollars will return brighter than ever. There are no hard times in this country, and but little cause for complaint. Some people are hard pushed, and it wiil always be so There will never be a time when everybody will have plenty. This isnot in accordance with the nature of hings.

We must take life as it comes, and form as bright a picture us the surroundings will permit. Push forward. Improve your homes; build up your business; push your town; your country; your, neighborhood; and business will advance with them. Court Frocoeillnai. District court convened Tuesday.
