pirate resolutions, attending the Iuherai,
which was held at the Presbyterian church,
In body.
Mrs. Toler's dramatization and presenta-
ton of Tom Sawyer was an undeniable
success. Few, indeed, possess the tact to
handle so many little boys and girls SO sue
cessfully as to make their acting even pass
able let alone entertaining or interesting.
The Opera House was comfortably filed
and the affair was the town talk next day.
How, in SO short q time, she succeeded In
having all the youngsters not only commit
their parts to so creditably act them out be-
fore an audience with little or no prompt
ing is surprising.
The people who get their mail by the
Wichita and kingman star route will have
to exercise a little patience. The sub-con-
tractor failing on that route the original
contractors and the government were i'm
mediately notified, and the postmaster at
wichita put on temporary service as soon
as it could be provided, but the man who
contracted to perform the temporary ser |
vice found the road too long and mud too |
deep SO made but one trip. Another man |
will be put on as soon rs anyone can be
found who will carry 1t. fttsl4
Talking about superior milking cows, J.
C. HYDE, of Grant township, in this coun-
ty, is breeder who has proved success.
He has a short-horn cow, of the Latimer
herd, Illinois, that furnishes thirty pounds
OF superior milk per day. lis has year.
ling short-horn bull without superior
probably in this section. He weighed, af-
ter n two miles drive, 1170 pounds. He
measures &C around the girth, Ga around
the flank, and &C length OF body. He lacks
but two inches in his nank of being per-
fect animal, which standard he will reach
in another year. See Mr.. Hyde's adver-
tisement.
From the well-known importer Of fancy
dogs, Long a. Campbell, st. Louis, Arthur
Allen received last week pair Of beauti-
full collie pups-or regular high blooded
scotch shepherd dogs. Noble Prentis told
us once that he found dogs OF this breed
among the hills of Scotland tending their
fiocks, which seemed to be as intelligent as
the ordinary human inhabitant Of that
country. In going out for walk, over
the hills one morning with bright scotch
lass, he suggested that the dog be allowed
TO 70 along. "Oh, no indeed" replied the
girl, .sCollie must soon go to the heath with
the sheep to be gone all day."
The smallest trick, the littlest spirit that
any town or people have been guilty of
showing for many day, SO far as We have
heard, was evinced at Winfield last week
lin an effort to prevent the agent q this
city from posting the 4th Of July hand bills
| sent down there In his care. The mayor
hearing OF the complaint told our agent to
20 ahead and he would see that he was not
lmolested. And, by the way, We would like
TO know by what authority Winfield pro-
poses to charge Wichita 800 and expenses
for the use Of the cannon, which It seems
were only stationed there BY st. John be-
cause Winfield proved to be his banner
temperance town Of the State.
There Is sweet scented outfit advertis-

Missouri, the James boys and their pals as
