Mr. and Mrs. Jacob CODER went down to Barnes last Monday to see their little grandchild who was very sick. We learn that the child is no better at this writing.

SPRENGLE took his final departure from here Tuesday at noon over the Burlington for Seattle, Washington. He went by way of New Castle, Wyoming, and will meet his nephew, W.W. KELLEY there.

He said before he left that he was leaving Kansas at a time when business opportunity in his line of work was the brightest and he was sacrificing much in leaving, but the health of his family had to be considered. He will locate in Seattle for a time at least, and perhaps will make it his permanent home. He has disposed of all his city property here, but has considerable land in the county, and said he would come back about once a year to look after his land. He sold his loan and real estate business to August SOLLER. Mr. Sprengle has many warm friends in this county who regret to have him leave and wish him continued prosp! erity wherever he may locate.
