pleasures at Wa-Keeney last Thursday.
A number of our ladies witnessed the
game of base ball last Friday afternoon.
The yellow blooms of the pear and
thumb cacti can now be seen on the
prairies.
Mrs.Bufus Kessler entertained a few
of her friends at h9r home Wednesday
evening.
A work train has been plowing up the
ditches each side of the railroad track
west of town lately.
Blessings came Tuesday night in the
way of a few gentle showers. More like
them would be very acceptable.
The. spring term of the Collyer school
will close this week, with appropriate
exercises at 10:30 a. m., Saturday morning.
Wm. Hastings returned home "Wednes
day, after an absence of a week. He
reports many dollars' worth of horses
sold.
The past week has had some cool days,
also some very warm ones, though the
heat of the latter was tempered by gentle,
cool breezes.
A number of Buffalo Park young ladies
accompanied the "Blues" here on Friday,
and seemed to enjoy themselves very
much at the Occidental.
Mr. Patterson's herd of horses, in charge
of Wm. Hastings, returned to town from
the east Wednesday afternoon. Their

After making final proof upon his
homestead, Jackson Greiner and family
left for their new home in Colorado last
Thursday. Considerable talking was
done about Mr. Greiner's right to prove
up, but no legal effort was made to pre
vent him.
A liitlfi rla-noMnr to comfort her in her
sorrow was given Mrs. Charles Colby on
May 30. The little girl is said to look
very much like her father, who, it will be
nvmamhered. met such a sudden death
while performing his duties as brakeman,
near Brookville, a few months ago.
R H. Melton, of Warsaw, Mo., arrived
on Saturday and spent the Sabbath here,
attending service in the forenoon with L.

those more interested in building up the
place. It was Mr. Melton's first visit to
his property, and though he was unfavor
ably impressed with this country, still
began negotiations for three sections of
land in this vicinity.
Notwithstanding the sun's rays were
uninterrupted by clouds last Friday, and
the day a very warm one, the lovers of
base ball gathered to play or view the
game between the Buffalo Park Blues
and the Collyer boys. The exact score
was unattainable, but all acknowledged
that the visiting club did well and were
victorious. As our town players are un
organized, and, so far, have had a differ
ent nine at each game, as well as scarcely
any practice, any good playing could not
be expected of them. A ground was
chosen north of town, and the Blues in
their appropriate uniform looked welL
Does the Wa-Keeney soda water have
alcoholic effects? When the fast train
stopped for water last Thursday evening,
it remained much longer than usual, and
when the curious, the next morning,
inquired what the difficulty was, they
learned that a trio of prominent men of a
neighboring town had insisted on being
taken to their town, which is not a regu
lar stopping place, and upon being re
quested by the conductor to either leave
the train here or pay to the next regular
stopping point, refused to do either.
They "were finally compelled to see the
train move forward without them. Ex
Supt. Dorrancewas on the train, and
became so interested in affairs as to lose
his hat, and resumed his journey without
one.

ECHOES FROM THE " WORLD " JOB ROOM.
We are having a run on the government
land blanks printed at this office. We
are ready to supply the demand. If we
do not have on hand just the blanks that
are wanted, we will print them quickly
and reasonably.
T. K. Phillips seems to be doing a rat
tling land agency business at Collyer. He
reports town property there commanding
good prices. His recent order of letter
heads and envelopes proves that he con
ducts a large correspondence.
We have an order to print 1,000 hand
bills for Mr. P. L. Cobb, late of this
place. He is about to become one of the
business men of Edmond, Norton county,
having purchased the furniture store at
that place. The people of that flourish
ing town will find in Mr. Cobb a straight
business man and a good neighbor.
It is reported of our worthy friend
and neighbor, Wm. H. Dann, that he had
a rather rough time of it while he was out
walking over the fertile plains the other
day. First, some cacti thorns stuck into
a foot through a leather gaiter. Then he
sat down to gather the thorns from his
feet, but he did not stay sat. In other
words, he sat on a bunch of cacti
thorns. In relating the event to a party
of friends before he had had time to
forget the stinging fact, the subject of
this sketch said that the act of sitting
lown oir'that occasion" was oUeof the
stern. realities of this life!
The head mogul of this establish
ment owes General utility uicicey a
debt of gratitude which he will seek to
repay soon after engaging in the potato-
growing business. The general, Tuesday
morning, presented to us a mess of good-
size new potatoes, from the garden of
Captain Hanna. New potatoes of local
growth seem nice, indeed.
Every family should have a bottle of
Chamberlain s Uohc, Uholera and l)iar
rhcea Kemedy for use during the summer.
Its prompt use has saved untold suffer
ing.many lives and many doctor bills. It
is the acknowledged standard, and can
be depended upon, besides it is .pleasant
to take. It is put up in 25 cent, 50 cent
and one dollar bottles.
In writing of that country, Mr. O. S.
McClain, a prominent real estate dealer,
301 -Fifteenth street, Denver, Colorado,
says: " I removed here from Iowa in 1874.
As ahealthy country, Colorado has proved
to be equal to my most sanguine expec
tations. The air is clear, pure and light.
The water here in Denver is obtained
from artesian wells, 600 feet deep, which
are numerous in the city, and free from
alkali, mineral taint and vegetable matter;
but in many places the water is impreg
nated with alkali, and persons not ac
customed to it are almost certain to be
taken with cramping pains in the stomach,
diarroea or bowel complaint'of some form;
and right here I wish to give my friends
and the public a bit of advice, which is
based on eleven years' experience. Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarcea
Bemedy.-is a certain cure for alkali
poisoning, cramping pains and diarhoea.
It's a remedy I would not do without for
any consideration, and I have heard
many such expressions from persons who
have tried it."
