A crowd of Larned's "sports" were
in town Sunday and proceeded to
knock the sanctity out of the holy
sabbath day by "bowling up." We
don't know whether it is the quality of
"hop tea"to be had here, or the closing
ofLarned joints that has caused us to be
honored by these visits, but we are cer
tain, however, that a gentle reminder
by the authorities of the fact that this
is a civilized community, would have
the effect of gaining a little more re
gard for the public peace.
We are in receipt of an attractive
30-page pamphlet from Geo. W.
Watson on Kansas farm lands and
crops, which is being distributed by
thousands throughout the east with a
view to steering home-seekers in our
direction. The pamphlet gives a sum
mary of all our products for '97. their
value, etic., and sets forth in a straight
forward manner, the advantages of
owning a farm in south-western Kan
sas. Edwards justly leads the list of
counties mentioned, and will come in
for its full share of any benefit which
may arise from this source.
Last Tuesday Mrs. Tatum gave a
tramp his breakfast, and had him split
a little kindling. When he had finish
ed he left his old overcoat and took a
good one belonging to Charley Tuttle,
which was hanging in the barn. The
e change was soon discovered and
the firm of Tatum & Tuttle started out
to hunt the fellow up. They located
him in the east end of the railway yard
and came back and got the marshall to
arrest him When the fellow saw
them coming, he struck out across
country but was soon overtaken and
lodged in the cooler, where he will
reside for the next 30 days.
Harney's Graphophone entertain
ment last Saturday evening was good
as an entertainment, and a success fi
nancially, inasmuch as the managers
came out even, which was more than
was expected, and besides they had
the "experience" which is said to be
cheap at any price. The selections by
Prof. Whittington's orchestra were
fine, to judge from the thunderous ap
plause they elicited. We venture
to say that for uniqueness and variety
of sound, in encoring, KinsleyV'pea-
nut row and "nigger -heaven" can
take the bakery from anything this
side of a sea-sick menagerie.
Some of the leading officers of the
Santa Fe were here last week examin
ing our depot facilities, and it is now
believed that instead of abandoning
our handsome new structure, they will
build, of stone, a freight house just
west of the depot, with high platform
for convenience in handling freight,
and a sidetrack ou the south tide. In
this connection it is in order to mention
that we have long needed a good side
walk to the station. We believe tha
if the matter is presented to the proper
officers, there will be no trouble in se
curing from the road all of the cinders
neooessary for its construction, and at
the expense of a liule labor a good
walk can bo made. , We take this op
portunity to suggest to the City "dads"
that they take immediate steps looking
toward the construction of this much
needed improvement. The spring
rains will soon be here, - and it will be
a preat satisfaction to all of us to
be able to go to the depot to transact
business without the aid of a boat or
the necessity of . donning a life pre

I take pleasure in sending you . an
account of the celebration of Comrade
Fatzer's birthday anniversary, which
took place last Thursday at his home
in Lincoln township. He was 57 years
old and served during the war in Co.
E, 2-ith 111. infantry aud was in most
of the prominent battles in the West,
such as Stone River, Chickamauga,
etc.
The day was fine, all that could be
desired, and a goodly number of the
comrades came together to help the
comraiie and his excelent wiie to prop
erly observe the day. The dinner was
simply elegant and displayed the qual
ifications of Mrs. Fatzer as a cook.
There were 50 persons present, 20 of
whom were old veterans. The men
gathered about in small groups and
spent most of the time in recounting
the scenes and incidents of "Auld
Lang Syue." After the dinner we
were entertained with music. Miss
Vedder sang and played some fine se
lections, and Mr.. Fatzer's son and
daughter gave us some fine instrumen
tal music with the violin and organ
accompaniment. Mr. Fatzer has in
his possession a small sword, such as
was carried as a side arm by his an
cestors of two hundred aud fifty years
ajfo, it is an heirloom aud has come
down from generation to generation.
The next meetings will be with Com
rade C. H. Hatch on the 8th, and with
Comrade It. C. Dimmick on the l'Jth
of Feb. '08. Comrade.
Editor Graphic:
I wish to inclose you an account
of our last Soldiers meeting which
took place on the 8th with comrade
C. H. Hatch. The day was a perfect
one, bright and pleasant, a typical
Kansas day. The comrades began to
arrive early and long before noon
you could have seen them gathered
about in groups of from two or three
to a half dozen recounting the scenes
and incidents of the long ago when we
were boys aud the great Civil War
was on.
There were a number of new faces
j present, among which were comrades
jjemon, iverr, ovearns ana j-.ane.
Comrade Kearns served on both sides
something unusual. lie deserted from
the C. S. A. after the battle of Getty s
burg. There were -'44 people present.
Comrade Hatch and wife assisted by
their daughter Miss Edith did all in
their power to make our stay with
them pleasant and agreeable. We
were entertained with an elegant din
ner and with music, both vocal and
instrumental and lots of small talk.
Comrade Hatch was 52 years old
this dav and served during the war
in Co. D., loth Illinois cav.
Mr. Rufus Buchanan was there with
hi instrument and made a picture of
the company. He had on exhibition
some very fine sample views. The
next meeting will be with comrade
Dimmick on Saturday the 19th inst.
Very Respectfully,
A Comrade.
A Dream That Wasn't All a Dream
Once a Pawnee county farmer had
eighteen hundred bushels, of wheat
which he dreamt he sold, not to a
single grain merchant, but to eighteen
hundred different dealers, a bushel to
each. A few of them paid him in cash,
but a far greater number said it was
not convenient then, but they would
pay later. A few months passed and
the man's bank account ran low. "My
1800 bushels of grain should have kept
me in affluence until another crop is
raised, but I have parted with the
grain and have instead only a vast
number of accounts, bo small and scat
tered that I can not get around and
collect them fast enough to pay expen
ses." So he posted up a public notice
and asked all those who owed him to
pay quickly. But few came. The rest
said, "Mine is only a small matter.
and I will go and pay, one of these
days," forgetting .while each account
was very small, when all were put to
gether they meant a large sum to the
man. Things went on thus: the man
got to feeling so badly that he fell out
oi oea ana awose, idu running to nig
granary found his 1800 bushels of
wheat still there. He had only been
dreaming and hadt't sold his wheat
at all. l-; '
MORAL. The next day the man went
to the publisher of Jria paper and said:
"Here, sir, is the pay for your paper,
and when next yiar's subscription is
due you can depend on me . to pay it
promptly. In a pream I stood in the
position of an editor, last night, and
I know how it feels to have one's hon

cering was given by Clara Skillington.
The parents bought for only one of
six boys and made his clothes over

The debate Resolved that penman
ship is of more value than history.
Augusta Hottewitz led the affirma

tive. The chief thought carried on
the affirmative side was that penmanship
is of more value to one in a business
line, while on the negative the chief
thought was that the better informed
on history the people are, the truer
and nobler they are. The affirmative
won. A ci peering mauxi luiiuweu, al
