GOODLAND. Butter 30c. Oats 23@26c. Corn 32@35c. Rev. J. P. Henderson returned home Monday. Ex-sheriff Hugh Parker talks of moving to Goodland. Sheriff Graves took in the excursion to Chicago Friday. Our public schools never did better, so says everybody. The residence of John L. Cook is receiving a new coat of paint. Link Reed's residence has received a handsome coat of paint. M. L. Humston and wife were at Chicago the fore part of this week. Elmer Bringham did not make a trip to the Cherokee strip last week as was contemplated. 11. A. Slater went to Buck Creek Friday to look after his farming interest at that place. John Swaim, of Union township. was shaking hands with 1 is many fiiends in town Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Babcock returned from the city of astonishment last Friday after an absence of live or six days.

Mrs. John Carver, a former resident of Goodland, but now of Nebraska, is visiting relatives here this week. The two Misses Thomas, of Fowler, in company with young .gentlemen, drove over to this place. Sunday afternoon. There was one thousand and ten persons on the excursion t rain that run over the C. A I. C. when it arrived at Momence last Friday. There seems to be some talk' of Little vs. Longwell having the supreme court of Indiana settle their gravel street improvement case. Of course the longest way around, in some cases, is the shortest way home. We are told that the new social club, on which we believe a patent was recently issued at Goodland, is now in a muddle over what name to give the club. We would suggest that a very appropriate name would be ‘’Jack of Clubs.” Ld Hall, county commissioner at Garden City. Kansas, quietly ■slipped in on his many friends at this place last Thursday evening. Mr. H. was for a number < f years township assessor here but for the past eight years has resided at Garden City. Prof. Dickerson is, at this writing, making an effort to get up an excursion for all the school children of this place. Remington and Kentland to the World s Fair. If he is successful the trip will be made about Friday of this week. At this writing everything on Midway is quiet. We don't know if there is any arrangements being made to close this peculiar village after Oct. 30. or not. We presume there will be entertainments given at intervals after that tune however so long as the weather admits. Word reached this place Saturday that Dolf Ganyon, the Goodland desperado, had made a raid on a store in Fairbury, 111. Dolf had been hanging round the place for some time and traveling under the name of Cunningham. He succeeded in making his escape after committing the theft.

A young man, living southeast, whose name we did not learn,, had a hand terribly mangled last Saturday in a corn husking machine. He was brought to Goodland late in the evening where Drs. Pratt and Cronk attended the wounded man. The thumb was severed Foin ils membrane and the hand otherwise cut and bruised. Never, perhaps, in the history of our thriving little village lias some of oar people been called upon to look on so sad a scene as occurred here lust Friday. For two or three weeks little Jacxey Oich had been lingering with typhoid fever. Suddenly Thursday night or Friday he grew dangerously worse and died about 3p. in. Friday. For t hree or four hours previous to Lis death the father of the little fellow had been almost beastly drunk, so much so that any care that was offered for the little fellow was spurned by Hie father and the women word driven from the bed-side and almost from the house. So contemptible did he act that one of the lady attendants had to call City Marshal Apger, who, after an ugly tussel with him called the patrol wagon and landed him in the cooler. While the drunken

father was behind the bars little J.icrey'seyes were closed in death. Oft, while the little fellow lay upon his bed, his little frame racked with pain, and cheeks scorched with fever did he see the burning stare and reeling form of a drunken father. The brush of an artist can never delineate or the tongue of an orator cannot tell the suffering he endured. Let us hope he is better off. After a brief funeral service at the Presbyterian church the remains were taken to Remington and laid to rest. All of this cold and hunger in a little city that boasts of its two great charitable organizations, the W. C. T. U. and the W. R. C. Their charity seems to be for themselves and an unsusjxjcting public pays the expense.

Good land has n t last had a sensation, the result of the World’s Fair. It appears the circumstances surrounding the case are about these: Mr. and Mrs. Baker purchased, tickets to Chicago last Tuesday and had secured rooms in that city with a private family, but being somewhat cramped for bed room Mrs. B. and the landlady slept together while Mr. B. was given a bed with a man who was sick. After sleeping two or three nights with the fellow who was very restless and did not let him sleep but little he told his wife Thursday morning that he had grown tired of his boarding place and would go out into the city and see if he could not secure a new boarding place. Mrs. B. waited until 2:10 o'clock Friday and he did not return. She borrowed a little money with which to pay her street car fare and returned to Goodland Before leaving he had given back her return ticket, saying he might lose it, but carried with him about *FO in cash. After Mrs. B. returned to this place she telegraphed the chief of police a full description of her husband, but up to this time (Monday evening) she has heard nothing from the supposed unfortunate man. Mr. Baker formerly lived near Monticello and was for a long time employed as section foreman on the Pau Handel at that place. Was transferred from that section to one at this place about the first of last April when he became acquainted with Mrs. Nut with whom he boarded and after a few weeks' acquaintance they werennarried. Of late he has worked on the C. &I. C. as a section hand; is about 38 years of age; dark hair; brown mustache; fair complection and weighs about one hundred and seventy pounds. It is generally believed that he has been foully dealt with in the windy city. J ack the Ripper.

EAST WALKER.

Ezra Switzer was in Walker again last Sunday. Miss Minerva Spriggs visited at her uncle’s last week. Sabbath school at Dew r Drop closed its eyes until spring. Two ladies from DeMotte visited in Walker Monday and Tuesday. Rev. Jerry Alberts, of Illinois, has been visiting friends in Walker. Oscar Eldred went to DeMotte last Monday to repair Mrs. Summer's house. A Methodist minister delivered a very interesting discourse at Dew Drop last Sunday. Last Sunday Willie Hershman was thrown from his horse and had his collar bone broken,.

Geo. Wineland, the roadsupervisor, is warning out hands to do the fall work on the reads. Dr. Stockwell's sale took place on the 26th ult., and he will move to Rensselaer this week. Harry Gifford was up in East Walker Monday to get an engine and engineer-lo pump water for the dredge. Ezra Hershman, of Keener township, has moved to Walker* His intentions are to farm the coming year. Mr. Alva Hershman, of Rensselaer, was the guest of Miss Emma Stallbaum, last Sunday evening. If somebody does not stop cutting Mr. Wineland's wire fence, that somebody will get an introduction to powder and shot. Miss Katharine Wenrick has been on the sick list for some time past, but we are glad to say that she is able to be out again. - A certain girl of East Walker says it would be no trouble for Dr. Jones to get a wife if he would only shave off his whiskers.

Gideon Wells, of Missouri, and Wm. Wells, of Hammond, visited tneir sisters. M- «. Joanna Fleming and Mrs. Mary Breyfogle. The saloon keeper of Moonshine was up in East Walker one day last week and secured the services of one of our young ladies as bartender. On the 16 th G&o. Hersh man made a Hying trip to Chicago to attend the World’s Fair. He returned the same day at noon, declaring he had enough of it. Charlie Holley says the C. & G. Cooper engines are the best made. For he has got so he thoroughly understands them, and can run one to perfection. Apple Tree.

The Balb-Heads’ Treat.

Wednesda/ evening Small hand bills were quietly distributed to the men on the street bearing the following inscription. “To-night, For Men Only. Keep it quiet. The dish for bald-heads. French high kickers, Duncan Clark’s female minstrels. Just to please the boys.” And it is needless to say the boys were there, young boys, middle aged boys, men of families, bachelors and plent}’ of bald-heads and even the editor of a Rensselaer paper. No women were admitted. The performance on the part of the men actors was such as. should' have brought the blush of shame to ever/person present, but had exactly the opposite effect, as every dirty sally made by the performers was greeted with rounds of applause by the audience. Only once was any anxiety feft by those present and that was when a woman appealed at the door and in angry tones demanded admittance, claiming that her husband was inside, and that he should go home with her. The house was in confusion and the married men endeavored to hide their faces, but were very much relieved when they discovered it to be a joke of the troupe, led by one of the female members, heavily veiled. Such a performance would not be permitted in such a tough place as the Park theater, at Chicago, and it is to be hoped that no more such performances will be permitted in the opera house or any other place in Rensselaer. if for no other reason than to prevent the pollution of the young boys from the age of ten to sixteen who were present. There is certainly a field for reform, when men who are regarded as our best citizens and church members leave their wives and children and gluttenly feast upon the scenes of Wednesday evening.

There are seven Leland Stanford University students in attendance at our university. All of them are advanced students, and two of them members of the senior class. Pres.

Circuit Court.

Business in the Jasper circuit court in the past few days has not been filled with anything startling, more than the usual line of cases of a mild nature. In the matter of state vs. Chas. Armstrong, charged with selling liquor without license, there were three cases, and in two of them was fined S2O on each count. The third case against him was dismissed. State vs. Albert Wortley, disturbance. Dismissed. State vs. Francis M. Walters, larceny. Jury returned verdict of not guilty and case dismissed. State vs. John H. Callow, appeal from J. P. court. Cause dismissed and defendant discharged. This is the case that came from Justice Morgan’s court, and which was tried several weeks ago, and the defendent not being satisfied with a
