The Mcpherson Republican says of
that there were two hundred and forty
four names registered as original
Pennsylvanians. They with their fami-
lies swelled the number to about five
hundred that actually took part in the
reunion. The Republican gives a
whole page of its daily to a report of
the occasion.
Mcpherson Republican: We have an
abiding and increasing faith in McPher-
son county. When money loaners pack
up and leave county because there is
no demand for their money, when east
ern funds are sent back by bankers and
Ieaners because debts are paid off, when
the local deposits in banks exceed the
demand for loans, that county is in very
good shape.
Salina Republican: The last meet
ing of the Commercial club was very
important one. The educational com
mittee reported that the Central Kan
sas Teachers association would meet

teachers We're present, and it is expected !
that fully a thousand will be here this

tons for the caring of at least six hun
dred delegates. The convention of last |
year, held at Topeka, was the largest
state gathering ever held in the world. !
Manhattan Nationalist: Hon. Perry
Hutchinson and DR.. A. G. Edwards, of /
Marysville, were in the city Monday !
looking at the Lock Works. We I'M
derstand that Messrs. Smith Il Son had
made a proposition to Marysville peo- |
pie looking toward the location of the |
works at that place. From what we
can learn, the works will remain at this |
place. We should like to see the insti- |
tuition grow.
From Leavenworth: When the city |
marshal proceeded to eject Gus Wolf
sperger from the Kansas Central hotel, |
in accordance with the abatement order
recently issued, the matter was brought |
to sudden standstill by the issuance
of a restraining order by Judge Crozier, ,
under the homestead law and bill OF |
rights. The application for such an
injunction was fled by Mrs. Volts !
perger through Lucien Baker, her at
torney.

jumped the track and threw Gibson off.
He fell on the track and was run over
by the car following. Mr.. Gibson was
brought inland taken to the hospital in .
an unconscious state. He lives in the
southeast part of the city.
Kansas City, Mo-, Times: In Kansas
City, Kansas, much larger proportion
of Leavenworth coal is used than on
this side OF the line. The Wyandotte
Il Northwestern completes with the Mis-
souri, Pacific and has found means to
haul great deal of coal. If the Mis-
souri, Pacific gets full possession of the
WYandotte & Northwestern. Kansas CITY,
Kansas, will perhaps lose some of the
advantages of competition. Even then
the city across the line saves in switch
ing charges and will still buy larger
proportion of LeavenwoIth coal than
we can unless an extensive system of
barge transportation is introduced.
