Preparations for a Good Art
Exhibit.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

Among other matters the Directors of
the District Fair Agricultural Association
are discussing the art exhibit. 1t has
always been customary to reserve good
room at the front Of the building for the
work OF local artists and a number of
prizes are offered for the best exhibits in
the various lines. If they can receive
the right kind of encouragement from
the local artists the Directors propose to
make an unusual effort this year to
secure first-class exhibit and perhaps
will improve it by the addition of a
number of paintings OF other artists
loaned for the occasion.
This city contains at the present time
a number of artists who are doing excel
lent work and the board feels that they
deserve encouragement and assistance.
The room in the pavilion which is usu.
ally devoted to this form of exhibits ia
large and we'll lighted by day. With the
addition of few rows of gas jets near to
tie ceiling an excellent light could be
obtained in the evenings. To secure
satisfactory background for the display
OF paintings the walls would have to be
covered with some dark material, which
could be done at little expense. The
room when properly put in order would
be one in which local artists, professional
and amateur, would be glad to place
their work on exhibition.
Very little effort has been made in the
past to make a feature of the art loan
exhibit, but it is believed that if the
matter we're put into the right hands, the
residents of Los Angeles who are the
fortunate possessors OF fine paintings
will be willing to loan them for
the temporary enjoyment as we'll as
the better art education of the public.
1t ia necessary, in order to carry out
the plan, that the board should take Ger.
tain precautions, which they propose to
take. 1t is a fact which experience in
such matters has taught exhibitors of
pictures the country over, that people
cannot be trusted to look at works of art
it they have canes or umbrellas in their
hands. Some one will have charge of
the room who will see to it that none of
the articles are touched or injured in any
way, and people with canes and UNI
brellas will be expected to leave them
outside. A special committee will prob
ably be selected to have the whole mat
ter in hand, and it will be composed of
men in whom people who will be asked
to contribute to the loan exhibit can
have complete confidence.
The Board of Directors believe that
L they can carry out their plans, the
artists and art loving people of the city
wjf have re lBon to feel very we'll satis-
fed with the result.

The unthinking are prone to make
game of nervousness Yet this is very
real and serious aiiliction, the -harassing
symptoms OF which are rendered all the
more poignant by ridicule. The stomach
is usually responsible for these symp-
,Oms-its weakness and disorder find a
reflex in the brain, which is the head
quarters of the nervous system. AS a
nerve tonic and tranquilizer, We believe
that not one can be found SO effective as

note of recovery OF strength and quietude

COLLEGE COLUMN.
PROFESSOR b. F. POwELsON, Sup't.

We are disappointed that work has not
been resumed ON the college building.
Yet, under these discOuraging cIrcum-
stances, we haye several of the county
teachers. who are determined at what
ever cost to educate themelves, that are
with US, and doing excellent work.
The pupils from town are our old
stand-bys, upon whom We depend. rain
or shine.
1t is. however, great loss to us as
teachers. to the pupils, and especially to
the prosperity of our city. that this work
is not completed.
1t must be done soon, else it will very
much retard the progress of our work OF
advertising during this summer.
BY the first of June we desire to have
arrangements made for this work, So that
it can be pushed vigorously in the next
two months.
Who will be the noble heart and bust
ness mind that will push this matter to
success at once, and give us an opportu-
nifty to make school, of which the city
may have reason to feel proud.
-
The work in the classes is going On
nicely. We have an excellent band OF
students. We only wish We had col
lege full of them.

is already fully enlisted in the work.

a Fast stage Line.

The Rock Island has made contract
with the Fort Reno stage line company
to carry passengers from Pond Creek,
the end of the line, to the land Office
at King6sher and Fort Reno, making
the trip Of sixty miles in five hours, or
at the rate of twelve miles per hour,
under forfeiture Of $1,000. The stage
line people admit that the time is very
fast, but claim they will make it with
every load of passengers. This stage
line will be opened April 20, and if the
Rock Island learns that it will have
more passengers than the stage line
can handle it will run special train
from Wichita to Pond Creek with
teams, for which the company has al
ready made arrangements.
