Warming.

We have been requested to warn the
boys of this city to desist from their
practice of jumping on and off moving
trains or they will find themselves in the
unpleasant predicament of being under
arrest. This is dangerous fun, boys, and
you can not stop too soon. And to the
parents we would say, don't glance at this
article and pass it by with the hasty con-
clusion that it does not refer to your boy.
He may be the very one meant. See to
it that your boys are not indulging in
this dangerous practice before one of them
is carried home either dead or manned
for life, or before you are called upon to
go down to the police court and pay a
fine for not knowing where that boy was
The railroad company propose to stop it
and it is your duty as parents and good
citizens to assist them.

Editorial Excursion.

The excursion planned by the North
west Kansas Editorial Association is
bound to be a success. Numerous new
applications for membership have been
received and almost all of them say: "My
wife and 1 intend going" In order that
1 may be able to inform the railroad COM
panies just how many to expect, all edi-
tors in our association, or who wish to be-
come members and go on the excursion,
are urged to inform me at once. The in
tention is to visit Colorado Springs and
after viewing the many sights to be found
in that vicinity to go to Salt Lake City.
Arrangements will be made so that those
who cannot spare so much time can re-
turn from Colorado Springs without 60
ing further if they SO desire. None but
actual members of the association will be
taken. Address all communications to
G. E. COSBY, Secretary,

Taachers Selected.

The Wa-Keeney school board at q
meeting held Monday night selected the
following teachers: Prof. A. d. Crooks
of Fredonia, Kan, principal; Miss Alma
Root, of Ellis, grammar department; Miss
Nellie Tade, of Iowa, and Miss Elise
Neuenschwander. The respective posi-
tons of the two last named have not YET
been determined upon.
Great care has been exercised by the
board in making their selections, and
when we consider that about sixty appli.
cations we're received, twenty five OF
which were for the position of principal,
some idea of their labors and response
bihty Can be had.
The teachers selected all come highly
recommended and, we believe, with the
cooperation of the patrons, will give
satisfaction, as near as satisfaction can
be given by teachers in public schools.
These positions are by no means easy to
fill and We should give them every assist
ance in our power.
School will begin on Monday, Septem-
Der 18th, and will continue eight months.
Only one month more of play, children,
and then to your books.

Ball VS.. BaWl.

There is in Wa-Keeney a certain lot
Of business men who have been laboring
all summer under the hallucination that
they could play ball. Well, perhaps they
could fifty years ago, before ball playing
came in fashion. We have labOred hard
to do our duty by these misguided cranks
and have sat like a martyr for hours in the
broiling hot sun to report their supposed
games; we have applauded HogaH's FUN
bles and cheered Jones' curves while We
tried to conquer the langor that seeming
ly displaced all the oxygen in that vicin-
ity. These same yard-stick-and- pill-box
ballists have been in the habit of buying
balls and bats for the fve-year-old kid
nine on match games all summer. With
this short but truthful preface we come
to our tale.
Last Tuesday another of these match
games G? was on the bills. The big bus
mess mems combination were short of
players, as Hoar and Gibbs were ashamed
to try again, so WE were invited to par
ticipate. When we say re, we mean re
in the fullest sense OF the word,
that is, all two of us. We par
ticipated. Ne covered ourselves all over
with glory-and dirt. We broke all pre-
vious records, an engagement with bill
collector and our only suspenders- that
is the junior sve did. We were put in the
box and pitched strong, steady game
fran start to fnish-that Is
the senior re did. ct was only
three minutes from start to finish when
Captain Hogan made a remark that
caused US to take place in therear field.
Our pitching was splendid, but we lacked
support. Saum's family had just returned
and he said he had all he could do to sup
port them, while Thompson and Tuttle
were too timid to support anything. Jun
ior ne played in the feld-not in any
particular part of it, but just sailed right
in wherever there was an opportunity to
gain renown. And behold the RESULT We
beat 'emI We did not learn just how
bad bat remember hearing some one say
as we were being led home that We had
beaten them bad. We are satisfied that
ne were the cause of it (both 7ve's this
time), but rather than have any hard feel
ings toward us by the kids" We will not
do so again. Some of our enemies may
suggest that we will not get imbered up
enough to play again in six months, but
We assure you that this is prevarication
of the deepest dye, and that is only our
regard for the feelings of the boys that
prevents our defeating them again.
