J. Gen'l Pass. Agent, Topeka, Kans. Is Your Life Worth 10 tents? Sickness prevails everywhere, and everybody complains of some disease during their life. When sick, the object is to get well now we say plainly that no person- in this world that is suffering with Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint and its effects, such as Indigestion, Costiveness, Mr.

Warner, at present railroad agent at this station, is to be transferred to Las Animas. Have not learned who is to be the new man here. Married On yesterday, Feb. 22, Mr. John Stauffer and Miss Ruth Burnett.

Ark. City Traveler. It is better to marry a Stauffer than to Burnett. Mr. Ballou, correspondent of the Kansas City Price Current, made us a call Wednesday.

The P. C. is one of the best commercial papers made. The fire company had a meeting last Wednesday. There were two members present, and the balance of the members were charged up 25 cents apiece.

The Supreme Court still "lies low" on the county seat question. Our Burlingame friends begin to realize that "hope deferred maketh the heart sick." A man who is top lazy to dig potatoes in Kansas needn't expect to dig much gold in the Black Hills, yet that's the kind of fellows that get the fever. Mr. Cyrus Case, one of the representative men of Melvern township, called last Saturday, and tike all sensible men left a 2 dollar William on our desk. THE MACHINE.

Last Friday afternoon the boys who "run with the machine met at the head-quarters of the fire department for the purpose of testing their speed on foot, and their activity in splicing ladders, and their general ability to annihilate a first-class conflagration. Thirty members of the company were present and assigned to duty, some on the engine and others on the hooks and ladders. Two coal oil barrels and an old potato barrel were filled with straw and shavings and piled up at the foot of 5th street, about three blocks from the engine house, and a man stationed by with a flaming torch ready to touch off the combustible pile on a given signal. At the word of command, the hook and ladder company dashed down 5th street, closely followed by the ambitious crew of the engine department and about 177 small boys and dogs. The time spent in reaching the fire, a distance of.

over five hundred yards, was less than three minutes. At the scene of the conflagration a dense smoke was rising from the coal oil barrels, but nary a fire. The hook and ladder company got their ladders in place on a small house near by and formed a bucket chain, and conducted things just as they should be conducted in case of fire, doing their duty with system and expedition, but there were the engine boys all ready to" snuff out their bonfire, and it wouldn't burn worth a cent. They had to give it air, and then a feeble flame shot up and dodged back again before the hoseman could get a shot at it with his little snozzle. Finally the flames burst forth in all their fury, and Mr.

hoseman Marple turned on the soda water and drowned it out in five seconds, and kicked1 over the coal oil barrels, and squirted the hair off a stray dog, blind in one eye, and then turned the stream on a two story house mi til it looked like it had been white-washed with buttermilk. Oh, they had a "hell of a time," as the parrot said when the monkey picked off all its feathers. The engine behaved remarkably well, and the boys all did well, considering that this was the first drill they have had. The engine demonstrated that it possesses the power to put out a great deal of fire if properly managed. It will require some practice to properly manage the ladders and buckets, but we have great hopes that the company is in earnest and will put itself in shape to prove "a blessing to the town in time of need.

COULDN'T STAND THE PRESSURE. HATCHET. One of the most desirable possessions for young and enthusiastic men is the knowledge of how to woo successfully. Some people know all about the business, but they constitute scarcely a respectable minority. Now there is the case of Nels Sanderson, an amorous Swede, who, lying in charge of two physicians, doubtless realizes that he has utterly failed as Cupid, and it is more than probable that he will throw up that part entirely hereafter.

But we'll tole you how it was. On last Friday night Nels grew exceedingly and excruciatingly amorous, and emboldened by a full cargo of the foaming beverage, fully 6 bits worth, and perhaps a glass or two of 10-cent whiskey, he sought admission to the unpretending domicile of an unprotected female who lives a quiet and virtuous life in the peac-able neighborhood of West Main street. She repeatedly told him to stop that knocking, and one or two friends who accompanied him tried to get him away, but Nels insisted on sharing the smiles and caresses of the charming sylph, even if the three hundred dollars now burning his pocket were to be the price. Threats of police were of no avail, but still Nels pounded. The door was partially opened, and a soft voice of entreaty was heard to urge an absquatulation or else somebody would be hurt, but this only fired Nels' ardor, and just as he was about to force his way through the door something drapped.

The sequel shows that it was a little hatchet that drapped, and Nels' enthusiasm drapped accordingly. Nels is now lying in a precarious con dition, under charge of Drs. Mossman, and Schenck. A respectable chunk of his skull was trimmed off, leaving his brain, though not seriously injured, entirely unprotected. It was a wicked blow, and had the hatchet not glanced Nels would now be sleeping in a lone grave enstarred with daisies.

While we feel sorry for the wounded man, we can but admire the pluck of the woman in protecting her threshold from ruffianly intrusion. It must be remembered under all circumstances, drunk or sober, that the Englishwoman's house is her castle," and maybe you don't better had loaf rount dhere ven you don't got some peesness ain't it? ABOUT PRINTERESSES. Some unsophisticated editor in the southern portion of the State advertises for two girls to learn the printer's trade. We want to warn him. We came near losing pur liberty by employing a female printer last summer, and but for presence of mind and-firmness oh ouf part the Free Press might now be groveling in ignominious subjection instead of soaring aloft in the wide empyrean, a creature of broad and lofty sentiments.

But to the story: One day our typographical angel startled us by saying: "There are bad reports out about you. Our two eyes bugged out in astonishment and fright. After much solicitation we dragged from her lips the terrible story entire that we had been guilty of making glad the waist places of a lovely damsel, of our city, during a moonlight stroll, and had even kissed her goodnight at the gate. Terrible. "Well what of it?" inquired we.

Why it's naughty," said she, and I want you to stop it; because people will tliink because I work here that you do me that way, too Instead of weakening on the spot as many a poor editor would have done, we had presence of mind to place our charming compositor entirely out of the reach of danger or slander by sending her home to her father, and tacked up on the door of our composing room a placard which reads No females need apply." P. S. We forgot to say that the story of the moonlight stroll was a case of mistaken identity. In other words, the hero was "a fellow that looked like us." THE GRAND EXCURSION. The special committee appointed by the officers of the Santa Fe road to wait on the editor of this paper and urge upon him the importance of his presence to the success of the Pueblo excursion have done their duty well but in vain.

As much as we regret the damper that our absence must throw over the excursionists, we had to decline the invitation. We know that many people will pay out their money for tickets for the sole reason that we are expected to be one of the excursionists, but duty, stern duty, calls and we must obey. The train will leave Topeka 1:20 p. next Sunday and reach Pueblo Monday. The excursionists stay at Pueblo from that time (4 p.

ir. Monday) till 9:30 a. m. Wednesday, when they start back reaching Topeka at 1 p. m.

The fare for the round trip from Topeka to Pueblo and return will be ten dollars. This is probably the only cheap train that will run to the mountains- this- season. It was not dynamite, but a desire to close out, that blowed the bottom out of prices at C. II. Fouixs Cos.

FOUND. On Sunday, Feb, 27th, near the residence of the subscriber a pitchfork having four tines, handle somewhat split said fork was found sticking in the back of a cow belonging to me. I should be glad to find the man who lost the fork. W. H.

Mossman. THE LAST OF RYAN. The Pueblo (Col.) Chieftain of the 17th publishes the following: The Cimarron News and Press says: Sam Ryan, a poor fellow well known throughout Colorado and New Mexico, as a victim to intemperance, met with a horrible fate near Fort Union, one day last week. While trying to cross an ar-roya, in a state of stupid intoxication, he fell and lay in his drunken sleep until the sand drifted by the wind choked and smothered him to death. Sam was well known in pueblo, having been a banjo picker at the Theatre Comique several years ago.

Another temperance lecture. Many of our citizens will remember Col. Sam, who did such a nice job of ditching on 6th street last spring. Poor Sam has met a sad fate. THE DIFFERENCE.

Elsewhere we publish a full statement in regard to the county printing matter. Every taxpayer should read it and inform himself as to just how much meanness to the square inch there is in the average Board of County Commissioners. Osage City Free Press. We here in Neosho county long since found out that there is more inherent "cussedness" in such a board than in all the rest of the county, judging by their official proceedings. Osage Mission Journal.

Just as usual. Had you fellows got the printing, instead of your opponents, and on the same terms, you would not make such derogatory remarks about the average Board of County Commissioners' Fredonia Citizen. Had we fellows fawned and toadied to the average board of county commissioners as is the custom of some fellows, thrift might have followed fawning We are a different kind of a hair pin. We would rather do the printing free than to fiddle for a board of county commissioners. THE RESCUE FIRE COMPANY.

Several hundred tons of hay belonging to Tom Doherty, Denman and others, was saved by the efforts of industrious friends in backliring. There is an organ fiend in town who causes all the harrowing discords of a mismanaged organ to peal forth on the midnight air, and eloquent paragraphs to ooze from the lips of those who are so dead to musical sounds as to wantti little unbroken rest. Shoot him on the spot. Hctchixson boasts of a fourteen pound cat, and challenges the world to beat it. If you will send that cat up here, we'll find a man that will "beat" it.

He don't like cats, and he will make the fur fly from your 14-pound cat until you can't distinguish it from a bologna sausage. The time has come for hard-up Kansas City job printers to scour the country in search of orders. We have adopted a scale of prices on that class of work that will starve them out in this section. Our business men would rather have an 8-page newspaper than Kansas City job printing, anyhow. The Free Press says Osage City is one of the smartest and liveliest cities in the State.

Well, now that we begin to think of it, we never did hear much about that place until Campbell started his Free Press, since which time we have seriously thought of voting Topeka a suburb to Osage. If Campbell ain't careful he'll go to the legislature from down theie some of these times. Topeka Times. We have already been elected secretary of the fire company. There was a poor lame boy in town the other day, dead broke and no friends nearer than Topeka.

Some of the boys made up a little purse and bought him a ticket to Topeka, and he boarded the 11 o'clock p. M. train. The conductor was about to put him off on the ground that it was unlawful to carry a pauper from one county to another, but when he discovered that he would have to whip not less than a dozen indignant citizens if he put the boy off, he magnanimously concluded that the law didn't apply to lame boys holding railroad tickets. COPIDAT SEE THE JOKE.

Last Friday theie were three of Mother Eve's representatives loafing around town, taking in the sights. From the cut of their jib, many people inferred that they hailed from 142 creek, in Lyon county. They took themaneuvers of the fire company all in dead earnest, and when the hook and ladder boys hopped onto a shantee in the suburbs while the engine department was engaged in squirting out the bonfire, one of them remarked, uwhy there's two houses afire, as I live and they all began to make' tracks for 142 creek, where there are no destructive conflagrations. And they always will believe that the promptness and agility of the fire company saved this town. He was the slickest chap that ever happened along this way, and the boys around the livery stable surmised that it must be Col.

Dyer looking after the missfng link.iri the Babcock testimony. Others suggested that a lawyer never was known to wear a linen collar as white as snow, and turned down over a black silk scarf with a cameo pin in it, and as he wended his way to the hotel, the boys all gathered around to admire him. He quietly recorded his name on the stud-book of the hotel and with a bow and a smile that would have shamed Beau Brummel, said, "Ah, is tea "Ready in fifteen minutes," said the land-lord. "Ah!" said he, "then I will have a little time for and turning to the assembled crowd, and taking from his pocket a small surgical case, "gentlemen, after many years of Chiropodis-tic research, I have discovered an infallible formula for the painless removal of corns, bunions, Ac, and if there is any gentlemen present who is so afflicted The reaction on the minds of the boys was too great for the good of the slick gentleman, ahd they went at him and smashed him on the spot, and gagged him with dirty socks, and took his specimens of corns and toe-nails and chucked 'em in the stove, and the slick gentleman has gone home to write articles for his local paper on Ruffianism in the West." fublic opinion. From the Lyndon Times.

We received a communication from "Buckeye" last week for the week previous, but it contained considerable news, and expresses the feeling of that locality in regard to the county printing thievery. From it, we take the following: While in Lyndon the other day we suppose we got into a caucus of the Osage County Tammany." The gents composing said caucus had copies of the "Lyndon Times" and "Osage City Free Press'' and read awhile, and caucused awhile, and ridiculed awhile. They may not know the position they occupy in the minds of the people. We have been around among the people some, and there proves to be a deep hatred for the ring, and a deadly determination to crush out the swindlers. Many talk of testing the law, and save the county from paying for the outrageous county printing steal.

Go on with your dirty work gentlemen and remember more than a thousand eyes watch you, and men condemn and curse you on every side. We called at Arvonia the same evening. The people are very hopeful about the railroad and will feel themselves "made up into a bran new town" if the track is laid and the cars running. You ought to have heard them talk about printing and Chalfant, Wouldn't it be a good idea for a "part of the county seat of Osage county to be removed to Arvonia? Brcurx..
