The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday May 6, 1896 H. HATFIELD, has, we understand, purchased the Attica Independent of Mr. WILSON and will with the aid of Lee HOFFMAN conduct it in the future. Ex-County Clerk F. HAMILTON, was an Anthony visitor Wednesday of this week. Frank was rejoicing over the rain and the excellen crop prospects. Herbert STEELE of Nevada, Mo., a young man whose boyhood days were spent in Anthony was here a few days during the past week visiting with his friend Sam SMITH. Joe DuBOIS was in the city between trains Monday, on his way to Wakita. Joe has been working for the express company at Wichita and is considerably run down in health and flesh. His many friends here hope he may recover. A very pleasant surprise was given Mr. Nat HAUN Sunday, may 1, at his home south of Freeport, in honor of his birthday anniversary. A splendid dinner was served and all present report an enjoyable time. Those present were C.A. SCHMIDT and wife, B.S. WRIGHT and wife, Milo HARE and wife, O. FOWLER and wife, Miss Nettie SHAW and Messrs. POTTS and GRUBB. Mrs. H.L. JONES returned yesterday from a ten days visit with relatives in Sumner county. Reports form all sections of the county indicate that the rainfall for the past week is from 5 to 8 inches, no section receiving less than five inches of rain. Miss Allie YOUNG made her weekly visit to Cameron Monday in the interest of Mrs. McPHEE's millinery establishment. John LYDICK was in the city Wednesday of this week and while here sold 1100 bushels of wheat at 95 cents per bushel. This cleans up Mr. LYDICK's last year's wheat crop, but as he has out over 400 acres this years he expects to grow enough off of it for bread and seed at least. Mr. Lydick reports more rain in Spring township than we have had but says nothing is injured but listed corn. Vounteers from Harper, Barber and Sumner counties were supposed to report at Wellington this week. If a recruiting office had been opened at this place at least a company could have been recruited from this and adjoining territory; as it is we don't suppose Harper county will furnish any heroes for the Cuban war, because the less recruits we send the smaller the chance to have a hero among them.

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday April 29, 1898 Mrs. HILL and daughter, Miss Mida CULL, returned to their Caldwell home last Saturday. Mrs. BERRY remains with Mrs. GRAGIN until she is able to be moved. B.F. SMITH was at home over Sunday but left Monday over the H & S for Deer Creek and Blackwell, Okla., looking after wheat shipments for his employers, B.C. Cristopher Commission company, Kansas City.

Dr. J. Harry GAY and family will leave next week for Harper where the Doctor will locate for the present. During his stay in Anthony the Doctor has made many warm personal friends, not only because of his skill as a professional man, but because of his many excellent traits of character. his visit has been a business and social success. The closest remaining recruiting office to Anthony is Kingman. Any of our people who desire to volunteer would do well to have a local physician examine you before presenting yourself to a recruiting officer. This call is for so few men that the most rigid examinations will be made, and unless you are physically up to the standard you will have your trip for nothing. Some of our people were alarmed when they read in the Hutchinson News on April 26, that Edward Merrell was among the first who enlisted at Hutchinson under the call for recruits. We are reliably informed that it is not our Edward, as he has been detailed for service on board the Joker if her services are ever needed.

TITUS, in this city last Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. Brown has been at the home of his daughter since some time in January and has been confined to his bed most of the time. During the winter his condition became so serious that his daughters who live in Nebraska were summoned, but he rallied later and up to within three days or four hours of the time of his death, was cheerful and in good spirits. A neighbor from near DuQuoin had been in to see him and they had planned how Mr. Brown would go up home this week if the weather was nice. He was taken suddenly worse in the afternoon and the end came with scarcely any warning. His wife and daughter, Mrs. A.J. Titus, were with at the time of his death, there not being time sufficient to summon other relatives. Mr. Brown was afflicted with cancer of the stomach, and had been here for treatment, and until Saturday had be! en thought to be improving. He lived near DuQuoin, and was a gentleman of many friends and no enemies. He was greatly admired and respected by his neighbors and friends and was revered for his many excellent traits of heart and hand. He was a kind and loving husband and father and his home life was an ideal one and the members of the family are indeed bereaved. The many friends of the family will join us in sympathy and condolence. In this connection we furnish an obituary prepared by Rev. David INCHES. Obituary. Mr. Alexander Clark BROWN died at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. A.J. TITUS, in Anthony, April 24, 1898, at about eight o'clock.

He led an earnest christian life, felt preparted for death and leaves behind him evidences of his acceptance with the Lord. The bereaved wife and children, above named, have the sympathy of all who know him. David Inches, Pastor.

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday April 22, 1898 From Harry Whitney. Sheep's Camp, Alaska, April 3, 1898. Dear Friend:--We have been here in camp since the 18th of last month, and have been able to move most of our goods as far up as the scales, which are within about two thousand feet of the summit. We have been compelled to pack them on our backs all the way, except about a mile and one-half, and that distance we were able to draw them on hand sleds, taking about one pounds to the load. In six more days we would have been able to put them over pass and then the trip to Lake Linderman would have been comparatively easy, but yesterday it commenced to snow and it has been at it every since and at the scales from seven to ten feet of it has fallen on the level. This would not have made much difference if it had been dry, but it is wet and heavy, and heavy slides can be heard up the canon every few minutes, and there is great danger of our outfit being swept away. This morning about eleven there was a heavy slide just above the store house and a large party of men covered up. We have been all day digging them out and have so far found 17 dead and an equal number injured; it is believed that there are from seventy-five to one hundred buried under this one slide. In going up ! I saw several smaller slides, it is not known how many have lost their lives in these and it is possible that there are none, but hundreds of tons of provisions have been buried under the snow and so deep that they will never be found. Dick and I have been healthly since we came. There have been several deaths here, in fact, they are of daily occurrence, but it is nothing unusual when one considers the exposure and work which the boys are compelled to stand. One hears very little news here from the gold fields, but occasionally we hear a little and it still looks all right; at any rate we intend to see the white elephant if we can get provisions enough to let us by the customs officers. I have not heard from you yet. Write me at Sheep's Camp, Alaska, and I will have it sent on over to Bennett if I move before I get it.

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday April 22, 1898 Miss Kensley Married. Charles G. WATTSON, our popular assistant postmaster, was married last evening to Miss Birdie KENSLEY of Ottawa, Kansas. Miss Kensley formerly resided in El Reno and is well known to our people. She is a graduate of the musical department of one of the best colleges in Missouri, and has been prominent in musical and church circles in El Reno for the past three years. Charley WATSON held a position in this office for six years prior to his appointment as deputy postmaster. We had occasion during that time to test his ability and honesty in every conceivable way, and in no respect did we find him wanting. The newly wedded couple will arrive here this evening and will make this town their home.--El Reno, Oklahoma, Herald, April, 7th. The many Anthony friends of Miss Birdie Kensley will join The Bulletin in congratulations and best wishes. Miss Kensley grew to womanhood in this city and she was always a pronounced favorite in social and church circles. Mr. WATTSON is to be congratulated upon winning the heart and hand of so true a woman as Miss Kensley. (Note: Wattson and Watson, spelled as printed.)

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday April 15, 1898 Word from Wichita announces the death at Las Vegas, New Mexico, of Harry A. SHEPPARD, Wednesday of this week. Mr. Sheppard was well-known in this city and his many friends will be sorry to learn of his death. He has been ailing for some time with stomach trouble and lately his lungs becoming involved, his physicians ordered him to New Mexico, but the change did him no good and he rapidly failed, his death coming almost without warning.

Hopefully, after having a month and half of problems, computer and otherwise, and the purchase of a new computer, postings will, hopefully, get back to some sort of normalcy by Sunday or Monday. Hang in there, I have too! Have a good one!! Jim.

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday April 15, 1898 Mr. J.H. HOOPES, the assessor of Berlin township, was the first to make his return this year, having brought in his book on April 2, and his work pronounced all O.K. by the county clerk. According to Mr. HOOPES about two thirds of its land is under cultivation. He found 248 horses, 85 mules, 1039 head of cattle, 382 hogs, 88 dogs, and eleven babies under the age of one. The farmers of that township sold last year, $32,378 worth of fat stock; $1860 worth of butter and $1895 worth of poultry and eggs. The work of assessing the township was done in twelve days and is a very commendable piece of public service. R.W. HAZEL informs us that he attend the trial of Eli and Grant GOFF before the probate court at Alva last week. They were charged with stealing barb wire, a car and wire stretcher. Both were convicted. One of th eboys was released from a term in the Kansas penitentiary at Lansing about a year ago, but developments have proven that his experience while there failed to do him any good. A longer term next time might serve the purpose.--Manchester Journal. Eli GOFF will be remembered as the young fellow who was sent up from this county for stealing a lister of Frank RAHE in 1896. Some of the more tender hearted of the court room though it a pity that one so young should have been accused and that the trial was a persecution. They wer not so well acquainted with Eli as were others who knew he was bad to core. M.D. LEE, the west end groceryman, will move his stock the first of the week to the C.R. MILLER room just west of Costa's hardware store. Mr. LEE has felt for a long time as if he was out of town and the move is to be made because of the location. With the Montezuma hotel closed and Lee gone, the west end looks as if it was deserted. W.J. McPHEE came in Wednesday morning from Topeka. Mr. McPHEE was but lately graduated from the Topeka Medical College, and his many Anthony friends will congratulate him upon his success. The city ice wagon made its appearance Tuesday, bright and fresh from the paint shop. It is painted as gay as a circus van and belies the proverbial slowness which is generally associated with all ice wagons. It is the property of G.H. ARNETT who will handle crystal ice during the season. O.L. McCALL presenting the Globe Publishing Company of New York, was in the city for a week past. Mr. McCALL was trying to sell the library board a set of Ridpath's Literature of the World. The work is to be half morocco and is to be sold at one half the subscription price.
