GOODLAND.

Corn 32@38, Gate 26@28. - Robt. Pratt, brother of Dr. Pratt, is home for the holidays. John Johnson, of Goodland, and Ira Flatt, of Jasper county, are at Lafayette, taking a treatment of the Kelley cure. May success be theirs, is the writer’s wish. Mr. John McGee, living four miles west of this place, has put a large stone crusher on his farm and is now ready to furnish crushed rock for street or road paving at reasonable rates. Now if the Pan Handle would only put him in a spur, he and th company might realize something from this move. Will Judge Wiley and Prosecutor Brown please arise and explain why those two indictments which were found against two of Goodland bloods were wiped from the docket? If witnesses were not able to attend why not continue the case until they were abler We pause for a reply, gentlemen. r Mr. George Turner is contemplating a visit to southern California.

Charley Page, once a Ci. * shot of Goodland, but now o* Streator, 111., eat turkey New Years with N. C. Wickmire; W. L. Johnson, of Wadena, Ind., /teacher of the public school at that place, died at his residence Dec, 27, of pleuropneumonia and was buried in the Goodland cemetery Thursday of last week. A fellow that never makes any blunders in his life misses a great many opportunities to learn something.

The Baptist set last Friday night again to do their baptizing, but for some unaccountable reason they did not carry out that part of the program.. They should be careful or people will begin to think thia a rust to get a crowd.

Harry Perry, Issac<mart and C. Columba, all of Kentland, were in town Saturday all enroute for Morocco, some for pleasure, others for business. The reason that presents itself to us that so many of the churches are so dark spiritually is that so many of the members try to do all the shining. If you would put a steel spur on an old hen we will bet a good cigar it wouldn’t be twenty minutes before she would have a fight. Mr. Logan, teacher of our grammar department is spending his holidays at Morocco working on Paxton A Royster’s books. Senator Gilman, accompanied by representative-elect Lyons, started Tuesday for Indianapolis. They say there are two bills that are certain to pass this winter—because they have passed every legislative body since the framing of the contitution—the road and dog law. An Illinois paper once remarked that if Indiana had no roads nor no dogs she would have no use for a legislature.

Prof. Fagin was presented with a handsome gold chain and charm by his scholars as a token of their appreciation of his services.

If Undertaker McCurry can’t /urnish a good, quiet team to dk ’ive to the hearse we would advia e him to sell out to some one than can. We want no repetition l o f a team running away with .

We offer the folowing amend' ment to the report of the W, C. T. U. in Goodland Herald of last week,' or rather to the. laws > they ask congress to pass; ThaH

every women who knowingly and intentionally neglects her children and allows them to run upon the streets day and night ragged and dirty in order:to attend a W.C. T. U. meeting shall be fined not less than 125 aor more than 1500. And for the second offense she shall be confined in any military prison in the United States not less than one year nor more than five. We never saw a successful byprocrite that was a success at any other business. When the man at Goodland gets the post office mentioned by the “Man Around Town” in the Kentland Enterprise the correspondent can then go sleigh riding in hades. The gentleman he mentions is not a full fledged Democrat. Most assuredly not. If he had been he would not have gone into the Alliance representative convention here and asked that party to nominate him, would he? He might not have bee* present in body but in spirit be was there and received some three or four votes. Is it possible the Democrats will have to go into the good old reliable Alliance to get post masters? We think not. As to the fellow’s predictions about the Morocco office we can only say that the one he mentions, we are informed, is the fellow who beat the bass drum here the night of the Democratic jolification. .This and this only ought to be enough to blast the prospects of any man for an office. This is said to have killed Davis’ chance's for prosecutor. Jack the Ripper.
