One of the officers states the company will in all probability be in France by Christmas.

Governor H.S. Martin was down from Lawrence several days the first of the week.

A barn on the place just north of Harn’s Produce House was destroyed by fire this morning. J.E. Washburn was the heaviest loser, as both hacks, a set of harnesses, and a lot of hay and other feed were burned. He had only a small amount of insurance. When the fire was discovered by Ed Freeland, who lives across the street, the whole top of the barn was in flames.

J.H. Ogden will spend Tuesday and Wednesday of next week in Kansas City attending a photographers’ convention.
