Dr. F. H. Bull, son-in-law of J. W. Millspaugh, is down visiting relatives in this neighborhood. The boys set him to threshing wheat, just for a change. If the Doctor handles dental instruments as well as he does a pitch-fork, at the tail-end of a threshing machine, he will do.

[EDITORIAL CONVENTION HELD AT WINFIELD.]
Winfield Courier, May 17, 1883.
Where the Money Came From. The following are the cash contributions to the general editorial entertainment fund. More was raised than was used and those who subscribed first took more than their share, so that others had to be somewhat limited in their contributions to give others a chance.
Dr. Bull gave $1.00.
Winfield Courier, May 24, 1883.
Dr. Bull has placed in his office a new back-acting, rotary motion, operating chair, which will extract teeth without the presence of the victim. The Doctor is very proud of it, and it is indeed a marvel of neatness, beauty, and completeness. Like all enthusiastics he is always sinking his profits in new appliances.
Winfield Courier, October 18, 1883.
Dr. F. H. Bull last week sold his residence on east Ninth Avenue to Mrs. Ada Foos, recently from Australia, but a resident of Winfield in the early days. The Doctor will buy or build another residence immediately.
Winfield Courier, December 13, 1883.
The East part of town is building up very rapidly. Dr. Bull is just completing a new house on the COURIER place, Mr. Wells has a foundation laid, and Mr. Laycock is building on the same addition. A score or more of new houses are springing up all around them and this addition, which was not long ago on the outskirts of the city, is now almost in the center of the residence portion.

More Fires. Again, on Sunday evening, an attempt was made to set fire to property in the city. A lot of hay was stuffed under the rear end of Hendricks & Wilson's hardware store and ignited. It was done about half past seven o'clock in the evening. Mr. James McLain, who has been acting as night watchman, first discovered and put it out. Shortly before, when walking across Manning Street and Tenth Avenue, he passed a man who was walking hurriedly. As soon as he passed, the man broke into a run, and a moment after McLain discovered the fire. When he turned, the man had disappeared in the darkness. What the object of these incendiaries is cannot be defined. The fire in the Hodges barn could have injured but little business property if successful. The fire started in the Shenneman barn, immediately after, when the hose was handy and hundreds of people standing around to use it, could not have been set with a very villainous intent to destroy, as the destroyer might have known it would be put out in a minute. The setting of the Sunday evening fire early in the evening, when everyone was about, showed a lack of deep intent to do great injury. However, our people have resolved to put a stop to it, and to that end the following paper has been prepared and duly signed, and the total sum of $222.50 goes to the person who runs the fire-bugs in.
We, the undersigned, promise to pay the sum set against our respective names as a reward for the apprehension and conviction of any person or persons engaged in setting any incendiary fire in the city of Winfield, either heretofore or hereafter.
F. H. Bull contributed $2.50.

OUR CELEBRATION.
A Cowley County Home.
The Senior editor and his wife had a most delightful fourth of July celebration at the residence of J. W. Millspaugh, in Vernon township. Mr. and Mrs. Millspaugh are old residents of this county, having been among the early settlers. They came here with a large family and have been prominent factors in the history and development of this county. They have a magnificent farm, built up from the undisturbed and treeless prairie of fourteen years ago, now covered with waving grain, luxuriant corn, and meadows and pastures of cultivated grasses, all interspersed with groves of maple, cottonwood, and other deciduous and fruit trees and a magnificent orchard with hundreds of trees now loaded down with apples, peaches, and other fruits in great variety. The lawn around the residence is beautified with flowers of various kinds and interspersed with beautiful shade trees. The barns and outhouses are in good condition, the stock are of the improved varieties, and are now supplied with plenty of the best grasses, shade, and cool, clear, fresh water pumped from the depths by a magnificent windmill. In winter they are well sheltered and appearances show that they are not unacquainted with corn.
On the 4th a long table was set in a beautiful grove near the house. The table was loaded with all the substantials and delicacies of the season, a true index of the abundance surrounding that rural home and the taste and culture of its inmates. It was the occasion of a family reunion, of daughters, sons, step-sons, and grandchildren, to the number of twenty- five. Mr. I. N. Ripley, of Burlington, Iowa, was, we believe, the only one of the family absent, for Mrs. Ripley was present as were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Highman, of Attica, Kansas; Dr. and Mrs. Bull, of Winfield; Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Bliss, of Winfield; Mr. Union Millspaugh and Mr. Frank Millspaugh, of Attica, and we hardly know how many other children and grandchildren; but we observed that the grandchildren were numerous, bright, and interesting; all good looking and some of marked beauty. It was a joyous occasion and everyone was in the happiest and liveliest mood. Mr. H. Beck was out there taking some pictures of groups in sundry positions, and before we left Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Gary, of Winfield, arrived and joined in the social pleasures of the day.
Long may our honored host and hostess live to enjoy their happy home and the love and devotion of these two generations of their descendants, and the next, which will be about in due time.

John Nichols' barber shop was in pandemonium Saturday. Its close proximity to the auction square has several times caused wild experiences, but this takes the medal. A Buck, finding no better way to give vent to his determination to leave the auction block, darted into the barber shop. John grabbed his razorbut scarce had raised it, when the "m-o-o, m-o-o" of a burly Bull broke into the door, followed by the Bull himself. Well, you bet, things were lively. In a marvelously short space of time that Bull had cleaned out the shop and he was monarch of all he surveyedbut, lo! Look!! Here comes a Bear! Is death inevitable? Look, look, he comes! and in darted a regular live Bear! The Bull held the fort nobly, but the room wasn't big enough for defensehe couldn't use his horns, and the Bear soon drove him pell mell out the front doorwith a rush that left wool behind, scattered all around. It was the wildest congregation of names that has met in some time: Mr. Buck, August Kadau's cobbler; Dr. Bull, the dentist; and Mr. Bear, the mechanic.
