S. E. Fink and the assistant County Prosecutor, L. H. Webb, went over to Dexter last Tuesday to act as attorneys in the preliminary trial of state vs Gardner.

Fink appeaerd for the boy Gardner, who will be remembered, aeoi-dently he claims, shot a playmate and friend dead, while fooling with a revolver. The state tried to bind the boy over on the charge of manslaughter in the first degree, caused by culpable carelessness, but the sympathy and evidence would not warrant it and he was released. He had been confined here in jail in default of requisite bond. Such accidents are becoming very numerous and the old story of, "I didn't know it was loaded," is almost an every day occurrence. It ought to be made a criminal offense to point fire arms at a person, even in fun, then such accidents would not happen.

Miss Maggie Sparks of tins city was called to her home In Missouri last Monday to attend the funeral of her sister, Mrs. Georgo K. Ilolden, and will probably be away two or three weeks.

Bucknkh, 001 East Tenth street, Winlield, Kan. I that rustic path was treading, Where the sun his rays was shedding Reaming, gleaming, brightly streaming, Through the trees; And I watched the streamlet glistening, As entranced I there was listening, To the linnets melting musio on the bree.e. When beneath the shade reclining, Where no ray of sun was shining, Lo! I saw a fellow being on the grjund; Quickly he his posture shifted, And his dreary eyes uplifted-Upward lifted as he wildly looked around. "Good friend," said approaching, "Do not churge me with enroaching Are you waiting for some messenger of But no other Word he uttered, And no other sentence muttered, Save, "They are the best, the Boot $3 Shoes." "That's a strange expression surely," Said looking down demurely; "1 trust, you sir, that you the question will excuse," Hut he only looked the prouder And ho spoke the word the louder "There's elegance and cheapness in Root's $3 Shoes." Why bless the man," I shouted As his sanity 1 doubted 'Tis surely naught to me, what peoples' goods you choose;" But he only oricd the higher, With a passionate desire, "You'll save by wearing Root's 3 Shoes," Then I resolved to buy them, And I felt constrained to try them; I will proclaim the glorious, Inspiring news, And behold Iv'e great cause for gladness, That the words I deemed were madness, Introduced me to the knowledge of Hoots St Shoes, Manufactured for C. Root boot and shoe dealers of Winlield.

THE BOOM BOOMINC. Syndicates have been founded, farms bought, additions laid out, and Winfield booms. We have no doubt that the D. M. A.

in the spring, together with other improvements, will carry the boom on to higher prices and farther reaching schemes yet. Real estate men have hardly had time to sleep and eat and they are all reaping a harvest. Foreign capitalists are coming and have beed inyesting heavily. Business men have been buying business blocks and yet little or no fuss has been made about it al). Such is Winfield.

The boom has come to stay and it means that we will soon have the largest, nicest, liveliest and prettiest town in Southern Kansas, So mote it be. Following are a few of the sales made in property in Winfield this week: Sam Myton and Bryon Rodolf bought the old Allen property on South Main two weeks ago, for $2,050.

Yes the dirt has been flying, and at last account, they were plotting Tisdale and Udall as suberbs of Winfield, whilst all the farms between, have been annexed to our city. Underwood's bank Reporter places Winfield tifth on the list of banks with heavy capital. The cities rank as follows: Wichita, Topeka, Leavenworth, Atchison and Winfield. A new addition to Winlield was platted and filed last Monday, called the Alexander addition. It consists of 14 blocks lying six blocks south of Oth avenue and ten blocks east of Maine Street.

He is a clever young man, and though he had not much ahead for a rainy day, through the generosity of Mr. Albright and his friends who sympathise with him in his calamity, will be able to get through nicely.

SEE BOOT'S $3,00 SHOE. Winfield was on a regular real estate boom Thursday; oyer $100,000 worth of property changed hands. The four lots occupied by the East Boarding House changed hands twice, and if it had not been for Mrs. Bobbot's good cooking the boarders would have left, for they were not sure whether they would be there or some place else next morning. Dexter Eye.

Winfield is the gate way to the Gulf, and, with the enforcement of the Inter-State Commerce bill, in less than a year the great traffic of Kansas, Colorado and the west will pass this way. The Santa Fe connection with Galveston brings Kansas half-way to tide water, and through the passege of the bill that road and this section of Kansas derive great benefit. The Winfield papers are offering to do the county and city printing for nothing in order to spite each other. Newspaper men are the only ones we know of who will thus commit buisness suicide. Farmers don't do it; bankers don't; in fact even the druggists refuse to work without, at least a semblance of profit.

ai. Michael Davitt's impassioned defense of Dr. Mctilynn, together with his bitter attack on Cardinal Simeoni, was a topic of general discussion yesterday. When a reporter called at the palace Archbishop Corrigan said that he did not desire to discuss Mr. Davitt's speech at length, but ho wished to protest against the attack on Cardinal Simeoni.

''The Cardinal" ho said, "is the Holy Father's secretary. What he does is under the direction of the Pope himself. Consequently the attack upon the Cardinal is equal to attacking the Holy Father. Mr. Davitt might just as well have attacked him as his secretary.

Hence, I most emphatically protest against uch an attack.".
