to ''get even" with the Kansas City

City, and to that end is sending sample
papers to people all over the state with

the Capital only knew it, it is booming
the Times right along, and doing no

Will They Never Stop Growing7


Sells Brothers, the renowned show
men, have been adding attraction upon
attraction until it would seem that a
show of the magnitude of theirs last
season could not be moved across the
continent profitably, but they did it.
This year, as if determined to test the
limit of possibility, they have formed
a coalition with S. 81. Barrett's World 8
Fair and both big shows, each fully
equipped and larger than any rivals,
will travel together, giving exhibitions
in the same place, day and date. Two
big circus parades on our streets the
same day and hour will be novelty;
two big railway trains, bringing two
big canvas cities side by side, on ad-
joining grounds, and what is the most
marvellous of all will be, both big shows
will exhibit as one for but one price of
admission. Truly Sells Brothers and
Barrett are princely showmen. These
two mammoth shows will be in Great
Bend August 9Th. See advertisement.

Pawnee Rock Leaders"

This week finished the wheat and
oat cutting.
J. G. Miller has engaged with J. r.
Baker as.bookeeper. Josh is a good one.
w. F. Hamon has brought in the best
wheat thus far. He graded No.2 hard
and weighed 81 pounds.
It is a common thing to see from 20
to 80 big ricks of wheat in field as you
pass through tie county this season.
We are pleased to announce to the
farmers that Benz. p. Unruh, of this
city and Mr.. A. Fone, of Lyons, have
entered into partnership and will buy
grain at this point. They have ordered
a new pair of scales and will be ready
for business in few days.
1t would enhance the beauty of our
town very much if trees were set out
on our principal streets. Great Bend
has some beautiful trees on some of
her streets. and they not only add to
the appearance of the town, but give a
shade that is very agreeable to the
pedestrian.
On our way to the Bend Wednesday
eve, just for curiosity, we counted the
ricks Of grain on the north of the rail
road track, and within reach of the eye,
and the number reach very near 500
ricks between Pawnee Rock and Great
Bend, and this did not include any
grain that was down or uncut.

THE st. Louis Globe Democrat says
the price of iron is stiffening under a
good demand. But the wages OF
foundrymen are lmbering in proper
ton. Protection evidently does pro-
tect. The wealthy manufacturer who
knows nothing about hardsbips needs
protection by his government, while
the poor devils who have to rustic for
a living don't need it-they can stand
reductions and loss of wages. They
are used to it.

Hoes and cattle are from $1.0O to
$3.50 per hundred lower than they were
this time last year. Wages for working
men are no higher than they were this
time last year. The prices of many of
the necessaries of life, such as food and
clothing, are considerable higher than
they were this time last year, and just
about this time last year blatant
horde of republican stump speakers
were getting ready to rush out over the
country and tell the dear people about
the advance in wages, in the price of
farm products. and the other great
benefits that would follow the success
of the high tariff party. And those
same fellows are getting ready to break
out in the same place again this fall.
Farmers, have you been thinking some
in the last year? Have you seen the
beauties(?) of high protection and
Harrison home" rule?

THERE has been some talk on the
streets of this city and Ellinwood, and
doubtless at HoisingtOn and Pawnee
Rock also, to the effect that the grain
buyers of the county had entered a
combination, or formed an agreement
to stand by uniform price when buy
ing wheat. If they do this with the
object in view of protecting the sellers
as well as them selves; and if they pa
the highest price the market will
warrant at all times, well and good. It
will be well for persons having wheat
to sell to watch the Kansas City and
Chicago markets, and to post them
selves as to shipping rules and freight
rates.
