\\ ould you laugh, would you split your sides, would you stimulate your liver, would you sharpen <r our appetite—attend the “Old Deestri t School. ” The Topeka, Kansas, CapitalCommonwealth has this to say of of a former Jasper county boy: Governor Humphrey yesterday appointed Senator Francis C. Price of Ashland to be judge of the new Thirty-first distriot, comprising Mea.de, Clark and Comanehe counties. The appointment is undoubtedly the best that could have been made and will be highly satisfactory to the people of the entire district. Senator Clark is probably the youngest man on the bench in Kansas never heless he will fill the position with dignity and ability. Two years ago ha served in the house of representatives from Clark county and his services were so satisfactory that the people honored Him with an election to the state senate. He made a splendid record during the session which has just closed and his friends believe that the same qualites which n ade him a good legislator will also make him a success on the bench. He is a remarkably fine orator and altogether one of the brightest young men in Kansas.

All persons having cattle to let in pasture for the season of 1889, will find it to their interest to address ns at this place.
