Smith isnotacandi date for anything and while a tem- perate man, is not making local op- tion speeches. The Nevada Mail says, with two or three exceptions, the saloons in that city have closed up. The rea- son for this is, the city council of that city raised the license to one thousand dollars and the saloon men, or a large majority of them, not be- ing able to stand the increase in tax were compelled to close. Mrs. McCracken is visiting her sister, Mrs. N. A. Wade. W. W. Graves went to Topeka Monday on legal business. LEE Geo. F.

A number of Kansas tewspapers are kept very busy denying the re- ports of destitution and freezing to death in some of the western codn- ties. Cold and starvation exist or there would be no such cases report- ed, but it is the province of a Kan- sas newspaper to misrepresent and they do it with the most self com- plaisant unction.

A leap year party at the residence of Mr. John Pharis, in the southeast part of town last Friday evening. The young gentlemen report that they were courteously treated and well entertained by their escorts. No drunkenness, swearing, fighting or anything of the kind indulged in. This speaks well for the young la- dies. N. B. McFarland got a severe fall on the icy pavement at the corner of the Bates county bank, Monday morning, cutting a gash an inch long in his eye brow, and knocking him senseless for several minutes. At times like the present such side- walks shouki have ashes or some- thing of the kind thrown on them. They are dangerous places not on- ly for men but women and children.

The little fellow was only about a month or so old, and a few days after its birth a severe and critical operation was per- formed on it by Dr. King, of Sedal:a. assisted by Dr. Boulware, of this city, for hair lip. The operation was successfully preformed and the baby did well with the exception of taking nourishment which is possibly the main cause of its death. The funeral took place at 10 o’clock Monday.

Pacific, in New Home township, went rabbit hunting on the 27th ult. They were some dis- tance apart when they both spied a rabbit and discharged their guns. The son got the rabbit and also a load of shot from the father’s gun whicn lodged in the small of his back. To add to his troubles when he arrived home he found the con- stable waiting for him with a war- rant, charging him with hunting on the previous Sabbath. The wound while painful is not dangerous.— We must acknowledge the follow- piece of news to us, especially in re gard to Thos. J. Smith and W.

And slaves from eppression are freed. Williams, one of the most prominent physicians of that locality and well known throughout the county re- ceived two ugly and dangerous stabs in the side from a shoe knife in the hands of J. H. Schryver, a shoemak- er of the above place. On first ex- amination it was thought that the knife had penetrated the hollow, and grave fears were entertained for his recovery. But a more thorough in- vestigation proved the above theory to be false and while the wounds were deepand dangerous the doctor, by careful treatment, is slowly recov ering and hopes are expressed, that with no bad luck, will be upfagain in ashorttime. Schryver was arrested by the constable shortly after the occurrence, and prosecuting attorney Jackson was notified. Thursday & preliminary investigation was had before a justice of the peace in Hume which resulted in holding Schryver in a bond of two thousand dollars, which he was unable to give and was sent tojail at Butler for safe keeping. CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. Schryver since his residence in Hume, July or August, has boarded at the city hotel, conducted by Dr. Williams’ father and mother, and the difficulty first originated between the prisoner and Ed. Williams, and it is stated grew out of Schryver being re- fused the privilege of taking a dog to bed with him which he was very much attached to. While the two were disputing Dr. Williams, who had befriended Schryver by starting him in business, came on the scene and shamed both for quarrelling and told Schryver to go about his busi- ness. All right says Schryver, what you say Doc. goes. He then went to his shop, and Ed. Williams to the drug store. Shortly after this Schryver returned from his shop armed with a shoe knife and Beware, O ye wealthy oppressors! Yeur marder of innucent men.

Again the doctor appeared on the scene and ordered Schryver, who was considerably intoxicated, out of the store. Schryver proceeded to obey orders, but as he left invited the doctor out side, which was accepted. Immedi ately on getting out of the house the two came together with blows the doctor using his fists and Schryver the knife with the above results. SCHRYVER'S STATEMENT. Monday morning a reporter of the Tres called on Schryver at the jail and elisited the following brief inter- view. Mr. Schryver where were you from to Missouri? I was raised in New York state, butam from Gailesburg, Ils. at which place I have four children, who are attending school and I un- derstand the oldest, a girl, will short- ly graduate in music.

The knife I usedon the docter I took from the shop for the purpose of grinding at a blacksmith shop, and had no idea when I left the shop of using it on the doctor.
