E., church last night nor will there be to-night. Services as usual Sunday evening. SyDr. and Mrs. Schuyler Robinson, who lately graduated from the osteopath Bchool at Kirksvilie, Mo., are thinking of locating in Pennsylvania, we understand. On Monday Isaac Runner paid into the county treasury $2,900, the amount found against him by the tax feerits. Mr. Runner is eighty years of age. Knowing him as we do and his business methods, we are free to express our opinion that an injustice has been done the old man.—Fowler Leader. The rain Wednesday night was much heavier north of town than here, and considerably heavier here than farther south. In the neighborhood about Elias Arnold, in Barkley township, the heaviest rain came about six o’clock in the evening and was a very heavy one. A few miles north of there the heavy rain came Thursday morning, and, while rather more than needed, still did lots of good. D. A. Stoner returned from his Western trip a few days ago. He has traded his mill property here for three sections of grazing land in Hamilton county, Kansas, six miles from Syracuse, the county seat. Hamilton county lies along the line of Colorado, and is sparoe ly settled. Mr. Stoner is now figuring on buying a farm near Wichita, Kan., and disposing of his residence property here and moving upon same. If he can get his business closed up here in time he will probably leave yet this fall. As an inducement to the people who are interested in the retaining of theßarcus Horse-Stocks factory in Rensselaer, A. Leopold offers to donate $25 on each lot sold in Leopold’s addition at the east side of town to this purpose, or if the people prefer to take all the lots and do the selling themselves, he will donate SSO on each lot. There are about 70 of the lots yet remaining unsold, and as be sells them at S2OO each this would raise a fund of $1,750 or $3,500, depending on which proposition, if either, should be accepted.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.

How Brave Antonto Saved Hie Play* mates Prom the Mad Bull. The most heroic act I know of was that of a .tittle Italian named Antonio, who 'was -sent to the country by a mission for-a fortnight. A wealthy farmer‘kook. him. This farmer had two children, Ethel and Johnny. Ethel was six years of age-and-Johnny was twelve, Antonio being-only ken. Ethel had been sick for a long time, and on the day I am telling of her mamma had put her in a hammock in the orchard, and to keep out the sun she threw over it a scarlet shawl as a sort of awning. Antonio was whittling near hex, and Johnny was reading-a book. Now, Leslie, the children’s papa, had a young bull, which he kept in the shed on acoount of its being very wild. The . heat and the flies bothered him *> that he at last was so desperate that he broke through the shal door, knocked down the barn gate-and headed for the orchard. Seeing the red shawl, he darted for it. Mrs. Leslie "was on the veranda with a maiden aunt, and upon BCC* ing what had happened she was 6truck dumb with terror. Johnnie threw down his book and “ran for his life,” but Antonio, brave Antonio, was as cahn as could be. He snatched the red shawl from, its place and ran out of the orchard, with the bull after him, down the lane Into a meadow where hay was being made, the bull following. The haymakers lassoed the infuriated beast and then killed'him with their pitchforks. Then, turning to. Antonio, who had swooned, they tenderly carried him 'home, where he soon reoovered. He never went back to the city, not after that’ He was adopted by Mrs. Leslie’s maiden- aunfc Cor. New York Press. The Sugar Pten* Tree.

HERALD ABSORBS THE STAR.

Interesting Bit of Newspaper Hietory of Owt Neighboring Town Of Ooodland. The Goodland Star, the new rerepublican paper started at Goodland last summer by Hervy Hat*, dersou and Roy Shepherd, tw& well known young men of that city of excellent reputation and more than ordinary educational ability, has been consolidated with the Goodland Herald, and the Star will cease to shine. Thie is about the fifth newspaper venture that we know of at Goodland that has failed, or proved so unprofitable that the promotors were glad to quit. Along in the winter of 1898 Dr. Coppock and W. J. Oram started to fill a long fell want at Goodland and launched the Newton County Republican After a precarious existence of a few months the sheriff closed thg shop, and the plant was later bought by A. J. Kitt, then postmaster there and who had some time previous sold the old Herald. Kitt started the Goodland TimeSt which he continued to publish until after the election that fall when he sold out to E. R. Bringham, who then owned the Herald, and the two plants were consolidated. Next in the field was the Goodland Tribune, started by twa young men Frauk Wiles and James Quigley who put in a firstclass plant, bought mostly oa time, some ten years after the Times had ceased to exist, and after about six months it was alsa closed by the Bheriff, acting foa the wholesale house that had sold the plant. The Herald also absorbed this plant. Quigley went West while Wiles is now employed on the Fowler Leader. The next venture was the Goodland Journal, started by A. J. Kitt, who in the meantime had sold the Herald once more, aad after running it a few months he again bought the Herald and the two plants were consolidated. The next candidate for public support was the Star, started sooa after Goodland got (?) the count* seat, and while the sheriff had nothing to do with the closing o# this plant, it was no donbt found unprofitable, and the two paper? have been pooled as above state# and only the Herald will be issued. Mr. Shepherd had previously bought Henderson’s interest ia the plant, and the arrangements with the Herald are than, white the business will be carried on as a partnership, both Shepherd au£ Kitt retain their individual inter, ests in the material, Shepherd ts have charge of the job department and Kitt the editorial omu£ agement. Another paper that had a brief bnt checkered career, was th# Newton County Citizen, a democratic paper started last suaxmap and run until after the election, soon after which it was discontinued and the material sold to editor Scbanlaub of the Motocco Courier, who consolidated tha plant with the Courier. Frank Davis, the well known Morooofe attorney, led this venture. There are few towns in Indian* that have had so mnch newspapea experience as Goodland. and tho failure of all these pubb alione but emphasizes the oft repeats# statement that there are few inland towns of the size of Goodland that can support two papers. It takes both money aud experience to successfully conduct a newspaper, the same as that required to make a success ia any other calling, and while there are many people who think they are better fitted for the newspaper business than those who are engaged in it, a few months experience usually convinces them tha! their judgment was in error.
