extend to them hearty congratulations
and earnestly wish they may enjoy long
life and happiness
M. J. O'Connell, was bestman, and we
opine that our county attorny, will e'ere

J. say just when the happy day will be.
Have you noticed those gasoline
lamps in the several business houses?
They give a metropolitan appearance to
our town. The lights are fully as strong
as the ordinary electric light and very
much cheaper to supply business houses
and dwellings, and, in (act those who
claim to know, say they can be run just
as cheap as coal oil lamps, with twice
as good o. light and just as safe to hand
le and manipulate.
On last Srfnday evening, Mr, and
Mrs. Frank Nutto, who live in the can

a sound of wheels arroused them, on
looking up, they were astonislwd to see
several vehiclcles approaching the house
as is their usual custom, when any one
cones there, they always come out to
meet them, but when tbev cams out to
the door lot the guests were so numer
ous that the nature of the occasion
dawned upon them, the guests were
arly all former neighbors of Mr. and

John Farris, of (!k-c, was in town
last Moud.iy trying to get County At
torney O'ContiulI, to swear out a com
plaint against Henry S. Parks, of Cot
tonwood precinct, for purloining some
fence wire, which we presume btlonged
to the latter; out the county attorney,
refused to do so unless Mr. Farris would
put up bonds for the cost, w hich we be
lieve was tle proper thing to. It is the
unbiased opinion of our cjuill pusher, if
any one h w a strong, sure thing case
against another person, for a criminal
offence, or even a civil suit, they should
be willing to give bowls for the cost; if
not, they should not undertake to force
the countr into assuming useless exn-
sts- Attorney O'Connell, in refusing
Mr. Fan-is his refjueat did nothing but
his sworn dutv.
In tlieeq days of anti-trust, anti-imperialism
and anti- expansion, we feel
that eight in our midst the most urgent
"anti" for our boys, is an anti-s.wearing
league. Is it not disgusting enough to
hear men grown, swearing and using
slang phrases; but when you hear boys
in knee pants, swearing and using lang
uage, that oil men, hardened' in siu,
ought to blush for shame, on using such,
yet how very familiar young boys on
our streets aeeni to tie with thosa same
expressions. We believe if every time
a boy, yes or a man swears, they would
read the first commandment, of promise
which is: "lienor thv father and thv
mother; that thy days may be long upon
the land which the Lord thy God giveth
thee" they would certainly refrain from
such ungentlomanly language. It never
m:ule a man of any boy, to swear, chew,
smoke or drink whiskey, gamble or use'
smutty language; oa the contrary it
makes them immoral."

The following extract taken f rom a
letter from Hon. N. W. Mondell, under
date of Jau. CO, M. C. from Wyoming,
in answer to questions coucerumg new
homestead laws, reads as follows: 1 have
introduced a bill in congress which pro
vides tbat those, who have made entry
hrertofore tut have not proved up ou
same, can make a second entry. 1 have
also Introduced a bill iu congress w hich
re pea It th-J provision! of law which re
