the Central hotel Tuesday where she
gave birth to a pretty girl baby. The
tiny infunt weighed 1", pounds, but
was perfectly developed and the at-
tending physician says it will doubt*
loss grow to be as large and strong as
its mother some day. Glencoe is
g'.eatly interested in the baby as it in
the first girl born in the city. Miss
Kile showed mature judgment in
wanting to first greet the smiling
world in a wide-awake town surround*
ed by broad and beautiful plains, and
w here she could Catch her tirst sweet
breath from fragrant zephyrs wafted
from the blossoms of the meadows and
orchards hereabouts. In Kipley she
would have come into existence tired
and melancholy, and at first sight if
mother earth would have gotten sand
in her eyes. The mother and babe are
doing nicely and receiving the best of
care, Mrs. Patterson of Pawnee,
wx tlier of Mrs. Kile, was sent for and
Js delighted with her grand daughter
Me. Kile continued his journey to his

Here is luck and good health to little
Miss Kile. May she be as lively as
the town of her birth and as bright
and beautiful as she found the world
on the morning of her arrival
Other Kipleyites are invited this
way. The train stops thirty minutes
here. We can fix you up while you
wait.—Glencoe Mirror.

homestead entry made September 16,
1893; also whether the extension of
time given by the act of May 31, 1900.
(Public 131) applies to the Cherokee
Strip.
‘In reply you are advised that tin-

Terlton, O. f.. July 31, 1900.
Editor DUratch, Pawnee, O. T.
In good faith I have heretofore been
a candidate for the office or countv
commissioner, at the solicitation of
my friend*. Understanding that the
populists include the office to which I
aspire in the demand l!i-y nt ike fur a
division of the county oHl •(•*, and ap-
preciating that the welfare »t th i party
should in no iwannerbe J-mp trdize.1 by
individual interests, I respectfully
withdraw from th- race for county
coinini 'sinner. Every candidate
should make lii* race mibserviunt to
the best interests of the party, and
the populist* of this county have been
fair siiu considerate in their demand*
upon u*. and’w e should not let the in-
ducement of office holding percipitata
I actio.nt I strife with the reform forces.
Very truly.

A Ilia Day.
The circus has coma and left among
the small boy* plaasant recollection*,
anil a desire to turn btek Hip.1 »p* and
lie a clown The show of Tuesday was
the largest ever seen in Pawnee and is
one nf the best of the small class of
circuses. It is estimated that 3,500
people attended the afternoon per-
formance. The combination is out for
money, and the shell game operators,
and short changers were there in
pronounced number*. Their operators
were successful! and they “skiin’’ a
numlier of fellows, who imagined they
could beat the game, one farmer, we
learn, was taken in to the tunfc of #280.
We really have but little sympathy
for men who lost money in this man-
ner. They go in to beat and get the
little end and their families suffer.
