—One night last week some one
gained entrance through the window
to E. P. Hamacher’s sleeping room
and filched his pockets of a gold
watch, about *14 in money and
his revolver. He says he heard a
noise about two o’clock at night and
on going to the front door discovered
nothing wrong and returned to his
bed and fell asleep.
—Invitations were printed and sent
out this week by Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Jolly and Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Black-
burn, announcing a social ball at the
Scott building in Manchester Friday
night, the 15th. Excellent music has
been engaged and arrangements made
for fresh oysters at the Manchester
House. All who attend may rest
assured of having a good time.
—J. G. Warren was over from near
Medford a few days ago and had
business with this office. He informs
us that he and Tom Kearsc have pur-
chased the Arcade saloon of J. II.
Korndorfer,and that he is well pleased
with his new location and sur-
roundings. “Korny,” he says, lias
turned granger all over, having
moved out on Ills farm near Medford
last week and taken tlie initiatory
! degree by sowing his potatoes broad-
' cast.
—A very sad accident, the exact
particulars of which will never lx-
known, happened on Friday last to
James Hadley, resulting in bis un-
timely end. James Hadley was a
young single man about 25 years old
und resided with bis parents on a
claim 111 miles southwest of Manches-
ter. Young Hadley had studied for
the ministry, and at about 9 o'clock
on the morning of the accident he
saddled a horse and started for David
Bowen’s place, 8 miles la-low Man-
chester, his mission being to see about
an appointment for church services in
the vicinity where he was going.
The double barrel shotgun was taken
along, thinking there might lie an
npportunlty to kill some gnme on the
trip. The horse which he left home
on, to the astonishment of the Ixiy's
father, returned after awhile alone.
Fresli blood was noticeable on the
saddle and the bridle reins had been
removed. These things aroused the
anxiety of the father and he started
on the hunt of bis son, whom lie
found a few miles from home by the
roadside prostrate from loss of blood
and In a dying condition as the result
of a fearful gun-shot wound which
entered Ills left side about the lower
vest pocket, literally demolishing bis
watch and tearing a frightful open-
ing in his side. The entire charge
from the shot gun, the muzzle of
which must have been almost against
his person, ranged upwards, passing
near the bottom of the heart and
lodging In or near the right lung.
The poor boy's speech bad almost left
him when lie was found, and it was
therefore impossible to get the exact
details of the accident, but enough
was learned from him to convince
fully that the fatal shot was purely
accidental and was perhaps fired
while he was on the horse, the gun
hammer or trigger in some way be-
coming caught in the stirrup or about
ills foot, thus causing the discharge.
Young Hadley was taken back home,
reaching there at about noon, when
everything at hand that could be was
done for him but all of no avail, for
he gradually sank away until 3 o'clock
in the afternoon lie breathed bis last.
James Hadley was an exemplary
young man and admired by all who
knew him, and why he should be
taken away just as starting out on a
career of good and usefulness to man-
kind, is another of those mysteries
which only the Ruler over all tilings
can account for. Tiie Journal
expresses a feeling of profound regret
and sorrow for the parents and rela-
tives In their sad affliction.
—Rev. Furcell of Ilarptr was down
between trains yesterday in search of
his 17-year-old boy who had mysteri-
ously left home a few days before.
He had come down on a visit to Lou
Morgan, not letting ids parents know
when or where he was going. The
boy was found two miles out of town
and with his father “hoofed It” back
against a strong, cold and damp wind
in time to catell the 2 o'clock train
for Harper. The boy paid well in
that two miles walk for all the pleas-
ure lie got out of his visit. We were
too busy to follow them home, so
can't say liow,^hen or where the “old
gent” caught even.
—J. A. DuBois, county commission-
er, was a plesant caller at this office
on Monday, lie tells us without
doubt county scrip within less than
60 days will be worth fully 95 cents
on the dollar, as within that time
the entire outstanding indebtedness
will be funded and there will be
money on hand to pay future bills as
they are passed upon and allowed.
There is no excuse nor demand what-
ever iu his way of thinking for the
cut-throat prices which the banks
are offering for warrants.
fl. B. RANNEY,
ANTHONY. KANSAS.
POTATO
SPECIALIST.
Tin* past season in Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska was a trying one on alt
potato raisers. The drouth in those states was as severe ns in Kansas and
tiie result Is that people In those states are compelled this year to buy their
seed potatoes Instead of shipping them out.
Pure seed Is scarce and dealers who have waited until this spring to buy
find It almost Impossible to get stock suitable for planting. A. It. Kunncy
of Anthony was fortunate In h»vim» *-»-— *— ..... *""*•
growers, and Is willing to give a guarantee of the purity of the stock be Is
selling.
Don’t lose your time and money by buying Colorado Potatoes for seed.
Dealers are selling them all over the county, but be sure If you plant them
you will not raise any potatoes. Buy your seed of an old and reliable dealer
and you will succeed In raising a crop.
A. B. RANNEY,
Grocer, Anthony, Knnsas, is the man to buy of.
—We understand that the town-
ship board of Wakita township met
last week and organized, but refused
to allow the treasurer and clerk a
per diem allowance and those officers
wc are told will resign. It is our
opinion the board will have a hard
time finding men to keep the books
of the clerk and treasurer and attend
meetings, all without pay. It is not
right to ask any man’s time without
compensation.
—Capt. John Kathary of Hutchin-
son, but who has a fine claim near
North Pond Creek, came up from the
latter place on Tuesday, accompanied
by W. M. Gardner, and remained
over until today. The captain is one
of those jolly, wliole-soulcd fellows
who it does a fellow good to meet
once iu awhile. He says there Is a
pretty good prospect for wheat be-
tween here and Pond Creek.

of deeds of Grant-co., drove up from
Pond Creek Sunday and took the

ful down on the river.

Gillespie lias been away in Texas on
business and Miss Clara Alley has

not boubt the statement.
—Clay King, Robt. Ilean and C. C.
Cosby were in town over Saturday
night on their way to Round Pond,
having spent Friday night and all
day Saturday in Anthony.

next time be sure and take both jugs
witli you and get them filled with
that 25 cent syrup at A. II. Ranney’s
cash grocery. No other dealer has it.
—Miss Minnie Cobb, who lately
proved up a quarter of land just
across tiie state line from C. Lynch’s
home place, returned on Friday to
her former home near Frazier, Mis-
souri.

—Rudolph Peska called Monday to
have a letter sent to the county treas-
urer inquiring about his father's
taxes. Mr. Peska is a Bohemian and
does not read nor write English. He
has a claim five miles southeast of
town.

ing company at Anthony has 200

early, made 40 bushels per acre in

in 90 days. Price, 75 cents per
bushel. 39-2
—Frank Gillespie has had several
bunches of horses on the Texas mar-
kets lately. He reports fair prices
and a ready sale for good horses. He
went south with a small drove this
week. If there is a good horse mar-
ket in the country Mr. Gillespie will
use it and to his profit every time.—
Anthony Bulletin.
—A reader of The Journal tells
us that one day last week Wtu. Hag-
er was seeu by one of his neighbors to
pick up an arm load of wood to feed
bis bogs; to take a basket to water
his horse out of; to hitch onto the
wheat drill instead of the wagon for
hauling hay, and to saddle the cow
instead of the horse to go for Uic doc-
tor. The neighbor actually thought
he was crazy, but on investigation
learned that Mr. Hager was the fath-
er of a new 9i pound boy. Wm. Wat-
kins of Harper-co. got “struck with
tlic same club” about Uic same time,
and like Mr. Hager, has so far recov-
ered as to be able to be about.
—E. G. Armstrong an^ John Ross
were callers Saturday. They both
have claims a few miles southeast
and but recently returned from Rice-
co., Kansas, where they went last
fall with their famlies to spend the
winter. Mr. Armstrong says he has
out 100 acres of wheat, most of which
promises a pretty good yield. Mr.
Ross only got in 20 acres of wheat
last fall, which is not greatly dam-
aged. Both these men are here to
stay and to get acquainted with our
people, so have had their names en-
rolled on The Journal subscription
list.
—Wm. II. Kelin was a caller Tues-
day gathering information and affida-
vits to assist him in the restoration
of his right to file on a claim. He is
the gentleman contested by Mrs.
Sarah Criswell and who sold that
lady bis improvements and relin-
quished his filing to avoid further lit-
igation. W. B. Penrose, S. A. Cris-
well, D. R. Stafford and Mrs. Saraii
Criswell all furnish affidavits in his
behalf.
—Smith & Co. of the Cameron
Grain and Feed Store place an adver-
tisement in The Journal this week.
Elon Boyer, who acted in the capac-
ity of printer’s “devil” for us 10
years ago in the Herald office at
Kiowa, Kansas, is a member of the
firm. Elon then, as now, always
attended strictly to business, and we
hope to see him receive the patronage
which he justly merits.
—Tlic Grove Gazette wants to know why
butchers never charge for liver. They
havn't the {tall.—Breeze.
Will somebody else give us light on the
subject?—Emporia Gazette.
For our part, wo havu’t the heart.—Coun-
cil Grove Republican.
What has become of your nerve.—Conway
Star.
O, Lord, wilt thou open thine
heart, let thy light shine and forever
dc-lirer us from the gall of tiie punster.
—Another fine shower of rain Sun-
day night—accompanied by a light
fall of sleet—was very refreshing to
grass and other vegetation which is
just beginning to grow. It also mois-
tened up the prairie for breaking,
which had begun to get a little hard
on top. Old-timers say they never
saw a more hopeful outlook at this
time a year for a spring crop.
—Don’t be deceived in buying your
seed potatoes and let some dealer
palm off Colorado potatoes on you for
seed: they will not raise a crop. A.
B. Ranney, the cash grocer at Anth-
ony. is the only man who has pure
seed for sale.
