m.de by oar old friend Joe FaMt p nif;calion of Lazine„,
of Liberal, Kan., probably cannot
be excelled if equalled in the United
States. The Liberal News of the 14th
contained the following statement re-
garding his record: "Twenty-three
years commissioner of Seward county
and twenty of those years as chairman
of the board, is the record for J. F.
Fuest of this city. But this is not all.
Monday, the board was again organized
and he was again named the chairman.
There are only a few men in the state
who can equal that record and who
have and can perform the duties with
the faithfulness and efficiency that Joe
Fuest has done and will do, and at the
same time hold the confidence of the
people from year to year. And these
It is a well known fact that with
each generation the people appear to
be growing more indolent and lazy, but
according to the Texan the people of
Dalhtrt appear to have reached the
limit for when they become too lazy to
walk to church they surely have
reached the very personification of
laziness. The Texan says: "A novel

who are unalbe to attend church

On Tuesday, David M. Karber started
for Liberal and when a mile east and
one north of Boyd one of his horses, a
valuable mare, weighing 1400 lbs com-
menced to drag first one and then the
other of her hind feet and in a little
while refused to go any farther and upon
investigation it was found she could
not UBe either of her hind limbs. Th^
animal was loaded on a wagon and
taken home and Dr. J. H. Gum was
summoned and he states that he
never saw anything like it and none of
his veterinary books describe it, for
the animal acts like she was paralized
but the trouble will shift from her hind
legs to the front ones and then back
No one in the neighborhood appear to
have ever saw an animal thuB afflicted.
Gum says that while the animal can
not get up and appears anable to help
herself in anyway still she eats and
drinks He has Bent a description of
the symptoms to the state veterinary
