III about this much every day. Is there
another creamery in the state that can

The young ladies of the Presbyterian
church met with Miss Susie Roberts, at
the residence of her sister. Mrs. w. S.
Denton, last Thursday night. The ell
tertainment was the complete success
we predicted it would be. The house
was crowded with visitors, and all were
well pleased. The recitations by Misses
Myrtle Carroll and George Roberts
we're especially well received. The band
went out and serenaded the crowd, and
the compliment and the music were
greatly appreciated.

The case of w. II. Sparks versus
Thos. l.. and r. NJ. Sparks, occupied
three days in the district court last
week, and resulted in verdict for the
defendant. This was a case in which
plaintiff, the alleged purchaser of a note
given by I. l.. Sparks for partof the
purchase money of the Sparks ranch, on
Elm creek, sought to recover on the
same. The defense claimed that the
note was given without consideration
and as matter of form, it being under
stood that it was not to be collected.
The case was a complicated one, and
this was the second trial of it, and as
only the parties to the litigation were
interested, it is not necessary here to go
into further details.

Clark County Clipper: The highest
building in Southwestern Kansas is the
Clark county court house. Last week
when we saw workman sitting astride
of the pinnacle of the center tower, he
looked so much like grasshopper on a
cornstalk we thought we were in some
eastern city where spires vie with each
other in entangling themselves with the
clouds. The pinnacle OF the tower is
rs feet from the ground, and we be-
lieve that we are save in saying it is the
highest building within radius of 100
miles, and we doubt if there is higher
one west of Wichita. Clarke county's
temple of justice is building that the
people of Kansas may well feel proud
of as there is no better building in the
state for the cost"
The Peake Sisters will give one of
their best entertainments tomorrow
night, at ThOmpson's opera house. The
ladies of the Baptist church of this city
sent all the way to Alaska to secure the
services of these beautiful and talented
sisters, twelve in number. Their moth

over forty years old, though having so
many grown daughters. We hope to
see the house crowded, as the ladies de-
serve encouragement in their efforts to
secure first-class entertainments for our
amusement. Notwithstanding the great
expense, the prices of admission have
been cut through the middle, and one
25 cent ticket admits to see it all. Re-
served seats 35 cents. Children Is cents.
Tickets and seats to be secured at the
postoflice.
The Anthony scandal. of which slight
mention has been made here, in brief
was about this way: 1. A. Love, a
prominent attorney of that city, went
TO his house unexpectedly on Saturday
afternoon, to give his children matinee
tickets. when he discovered his wife in
the bed room, undressed. She gave no
reasonable excuse for her situation,
aud the husband concluded to explore a
little, on his own account. Discover
ing a pair of legs under the bed. he took
hold and pulled the owner ont TO the
