Comanche is a prosperous township: her farmers are all good ones, and there ought to be one or two among them who would ' drop us a few lines occasionally, telling of the local news of the township. People often "go away frem home to learn the news. By way of Claflin we learn that the editor and proprietor of this paper "went on the bond ot the newly appointed post master at that place "for $6,0001" Bats! L. P. Frey, living two and a half miles west of Great Bend, brought us a mess of fine strawberries, Monday, his own raising. They are large and lucious, and much nicer than any we have seen that were shipped in. Thanks. See the notice of the meeting of the County Cemmissioner as a Board of .Equalization, elsewhere in this paper. If you have any business concerning your valuation of personal property it should he brought before the board at this meeting. B. Negbaur took a trip up in the north part of the county, last week, and says he saw more rye, all headed out and in the best of condition, than' he ever saw before, and the wheat, and oats, and corn well, words fail to describe it all. The attendance at the old settlers' reunion last Thursday was not large. The impression seems to have got out that the reunions were being worked for political effect, and they have therefore ceased to be of interest to the good people of the county. The base ball contest between Hois- ington and Great Bend boys, last Wednesday afternoon, resulted in a victor v for Hoisinsrton 20 to -19. Some of the Great Bend boys think the umpire gave the game away, but we Heartly think he would do it. "Play ball, and dou t "beef. Will Ferger, at "The Model," spares no pains to make his place pleas ant and attrictive. He is prepared to please any one in a shave, hair cut, hot or cold bath, and an entire flower garden thrown in while you wait. But you don't have to wait very often, for he is promptness personified. Fred Flanley had a runaway, Sun day last, while driving between Hois- ington and Great Bend. A whippletree broke and tbe team ran away, throw ing Fred and a yeung lady with him out and into a wire fence, tearing ghastly holes in both clothing and epidermis. It would seem just a little risky for Great Bend boys to buggy ride with Hoismgton girls. I A Card to the Public. Inasmuch as some persons had cir culated the report that Mrs. Dora Gagleman, who died very suddenly at her home in Clarence township on May 15tb, came to her death from suicide, I deemed it best, in justice to the family of the deceased and their high standing in the community, to hold an inquest over the remains. All the evidence obtained by the coroners jury, composed of neighbors of the family, went to show that there was no cause whatever tor the committing of suicide; and all the circumstances went to show that death was from natural causes. Mrs. Gagleman was subject to rheumatism, and though apparently in good health was liable to be taken at any moment. The result of the jury is herewith sub mitted. Respectfully, S. J. Shaw, Coroner.

Brooker are proprietors, has been putting up some handsome monuments in the Great Bend cemetery. Re cently we were shown a magnificent, vxeorgia marble moument, just placed over the grave of Mrs. D. Merton. It stands full eight feet high, and is ; perfect in workmanship and design. as is one oi the nanasomest in tne yard. Another monuments which these gentlemen have just finished is that of Ace Sellers; it is also of Geo rgia marble, and almost as fine a monument as the one abovementioned. An examination of these two mouu ments will show what the Queen City marble works can do. ' PERSONAL XXESTION. J. R. Brown and wife are on a visit to Iowa. V' C. B.

Mr. Gagleman had arranged with his wife to make a visit in the afternoon. He went into the field for some purpose, and upon return found her lying on the bed unconscious. The older children were working in the garden, while the babe was still nursing, and called to its father upon hearing him enter the house. Mrs. Gagleman had dressed the babe, and had partially changed her own clothing, apparently having made arrangements to go out. ' Mr.' Gagleman desires to extend sincere thanks to the many friends and neighbors for their kind assistance and attention to himself and children in their hours of distress Pickens Cobun. Married.
