Read the statement. A meeting of the school board Saturday night the following teach- ers were retained: Prof. Starr, Miss Maggie Abell, Kate McClements, Cosby Brown, Alice Ludwick, Mag- gie Arnold, Emma Cassity, Mrs, Fan-} nie Crockett. and Mrs. C.

The Grand Army post of this | city is composed of very conservative men, and they never fail to invite ex-confederates to join with them in memorial services each year. | Just as the new born people's par ty increases will decrease the union labor party | As one of the stal-| warts said the other day, “we will| have to yauge ourselves to the ex- egencies of the times and always be | prepared to flop at a minutes no-| tice. The umion labor party was all! right for the time, but it has been swallowed, and I allow no man to! turn his coat oftener than I can.” This fellow is and always has been an office seeker, but the late ruling of the union labor party on that point sorter hindered him in his as- pirations,and now he is overjoyed to know that there is nothing in the re¢ adjustment platform to put a stop to his mouth and be intends hereaf- ter to let his friends know what he wants. G. M. Hardin, now living near Car- lisle, Allen county, Kansas, spent a couple of days in the city last week on business returning home Friday evening. So far he is not very favora- ble impressed with Kansas farming, and outlook in his section fora crop is poor. He said the wheat, oats and flax had dried up in that part of the country aud a great deal of the land had been replanted in corn. His horses have been afflicted with a dis- andhe has not been able to work them more than from two hours to halfa day at a time, consequently he is not through planting corn and has 26 acres to break yet. From the way he talks we are satisfied he will be back to his farm weat of this city in the fall. J. T. Moore, one of the wealthiest farmersin Summit township gave us asubstantial call the last of the week. Mr. Moore has been in the county some six or seven years and says he has wade money every year since hecame. We asked him the secret of his success aud he said that it was a close application to his business. That he devoted all his time to his work instead of running after isms and trying to legislate himeelf rich. That he couldn't un- derstand how some farmers had the time to go to town two orthree times a week, that he considered himself very fortunate if he could Spare the time to go te town ence or twice s year. He says he brought $2,500 to the county, has paid for a $10,000 farm, has it well stocked, is feeding a large number of cattle and has money inthe bauk. Some of our U. L. friends who are de- | voting so much time attending po- litical meetings might profit by Mr. Moore's experience.$ Robt. Sch of the peop ng.

Two or three years ago he married a Miss Katie Elliott at Crawfords- ville, Ind. After living with her for | some time they separated and Flem-! ing went to New Albany, where he, met and won the affections of Miss! Mollie Sarles, a highly respected | young lady, daughter of a retired | policeman. He deserted her after | two days of wedded life. This was! last November, then Miss | Sarles’ friends have been on his trail. | Mr. Fleming admits that he had | married the two Indiana ladies, but | said that he had, what he considered | reliable information, that his first | wife was dead when he married Miss Sarles. He said that he had never} been married to the woman he has been living with here as his wife. | Mrs. Fleming, when seen, said | that she was married to Flemiug at) Harrisonville, in February last, a} deputy clerk or justice ef the peace | performing the ceremony. That he; did not give her a marriage certifi- cate and she didn’t remember of see- | ing the license. She however con- sidered herself his wife.
