STREET swEEPERs AT WORK,

The street swecpers were turned loose on
Douglas last night at o'clock, at Emporia,
nine in number. and arranged themselves
Ike wild geese above the clouds on an eX-
curslon. They attracted considerable
attention and very soon there was crowd
of spectators. In due time Officers McNa-
mara and Green spied the combination,
and made a quarter mile dash, expecting
to find trouble The broom gang touched
the jasperite lightly and glided over it
with clever speed. 1t was scarcely as fast,
however as the sweeping machine, but it
is thought the arrangement will answer
for the present. Bat the street car space
is little rough for the brooms. 1t is esti-
mated that the street railway company
will attend to that by giving it no atten-
ton. In the meantime the dust won't get
over two or three feet deep on that space
until it gets over on the pavement, when
it will be in reach of the sweepers.

Arkansas HEAVY WEIGHT.

Mr.. J. NJ. F. Andrews and daughter
Nellie, of Corwin, Kan, passed through
the city last evening for Kansas City,
where Miss Nellie goes to fill an engage
ment at one of the museums as the heavi-
est girl for her age in the country, weigh
ing at present over 500 pounds and only Is
years old Mr.. Andrews stated that up to
her fourth year she was about the average
weight for children of that age, after
which time she began to pick up flesh rap
idly, at IA years weighing near 400 pounds.
In spite of this immense weight Miss
Nellie is as spry as can be, and has been
for some time in the postoffice at Corwin,
her mother being postmisstress. Thus, as
in all things, Kansas is always in the lead.

THE MEDICINE MEN.

The City Medical society held their reg
ular meeting on Tuesday evening, at
which the discussion was upon operative
treatment of gunshot and other injuries OF
the abdominal cavity. The paper of the
evening was given by DR.. Furley, and the
discussion which ensued and the interest
elected showed plainly that the new plan
of treatment for I'M uries to the contents
of the abdominal cavity, which had here
tofore always proven fatal, had taken deep
hold among the profession. The gentle
men taking part in the discussion were

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH FAIR.

The fair given by the ladies of the Cen
trail Chris tian church was a decided sue
cess, socially and financially. The fancy
work displayed sold readily. The display
of decorated china was fine, and as all of
it was painted and lred by home artists, II
found ready sale.
The picture gallery of Elder Van Cleave,
was quite interesting, as il contained pic
lures of scenes in Germany, France. Italy,
Egypt and Palestine, visited by the elder
on his tour through those countries.
The refreshments served by the ladies
would melt the stoniest heart, and the
bachelors, young and old, had to shell out
for something to eat.
The fair netted something like 500, and
the ladies are TO be congratulated on the
amount raised in so short time.

A Girls Reasoning.

There was a girl whose logical turn of
mind was her destruction. She could rea-
son with Euclid. but the culinary results
which her reasoning brought her were
peculiar. Once, when she had been sent to
make some drawn butter gravy and the
went out to see what she was doing. She
found the girl trying to melt down some
uncooked pie crust, having argued that
as pie crust was made of butter and
flour. and drawn butter gravy was made
of butter and -four. she had only TO melt
down the pie crust to Eet drawn butter

this poor method of conveying my graft

proves that the same sympathy that was
exhibited between the ''boys in blue" dur
ing the dark days OF 1916. yet animates
the surviving veterans. as they stood
shoulder to shoulder on the battle fields,
helping each other as best they could, they
still stand shoulder to shoulder, when il
becomes necessary to assist comrade

Rest assured that your kind acts were
hugely appreciated and will be gratefully

have TO undergo my experience with sick
ness and pain and that you may all meet
at the last grand muster when the roll Is
called, am as ever,
