Terrible Accident.

We have been shown paper pub
lished at Coshocton, Ohio, containing an
account of recent accident whereby
Geo. W. Huff of that place and broth
er of Mrs. J. P. Marquand, of Ogallah
met his death. 1t was at barn raising.
"Mr. Huff had crowbar in his hand and
forced the upright into position where
we'll directed blow would enter it in
the mortise. Stepping back about a foot
he raised his head and gave the signal,
saying, "now, hit it." These were his
last words. A man by the name of Nor
ford raised the axe and brought it down
with all the strength he could command,
but before it reached the timber, the
head, which had probably expanded from
the heat of the sun, flew off, and revolv-
ing in the air struck Mr.. Huff fairly on
the skull making wound extending from
between the eyes, across the top of the
head to the base of the brain, and sink
ing into the roof of the mouth. Death
came instantaneously.
"We quote further from the same
source:
"Mr. Huff was a kind and indulgent
husband and father; a man highly re-
spected and greatly beloved by his many
friends. As citizen and man of the
highest sterling integrity not a stain rests
on his fair name. The funeral was set
for one o'clock Sunday afternoon. Long
before the hour carriages began to arrive
and when the remains reached the church
the roads for long distances around were
lined with vehicles and all available
standing room near the church was occu-
pied. His was the largest funeral ever
known in Washington township"

Masculine Christianity,
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press
Here is a woman writer's idea of one
important form of masculine Christianity.
There are plenty Of appreciative women
who will agree with her: Il saw some
thing religious the other day. L saw a
man kiss delicate looking woman good
bye, kiss two sickly looking children and
tell them not to forget papa; I saw him
stay on the train until it was started, and
and then he jumped of and called to me
who co1ld see him when his wife could
not: Won't you tell the lady got off all
right: And went over to tell her and I
heard what it all meant The delicate
woman and the two little babies were 90
ing West to see mother it was long
journey and an expensive one, and the
husband had saved the money and
surprised her with it; and she who left
home bride was going back to make
them thoroughly understand what a good
husband she had, and to exhibit. with
all a mothers pride, the two babies. who
belonged to her. She cried q little BIT.

lonely. and one of the babies played
with the silver bells on my chatelain.
thought to myself, that man is a
Christian. He is going to make two
women happy, and he is going to stay at
home and work all summer long to do
TINS. You see it is Just the differ
once between denying ones self
something for somebody else, and walk
ing around in perky sort of way.
'verfiowing with culture and egotism that
makes the difference between the

We Head the List,

In examining the delinquent tax lists
as published by our neighboring counties
we find that ours not only looks as well
as any of them, but is much smaller than
most OF them, Not so good a showing
for the publisher, but better for the
county.-Leoti Standard.
Well, now, we don't know about that.
Just cast your eye ON tho delinquent tax
list on the inside page of the Westeyw
Times: Did you ever see anything heater?
Then look at the Trego county tax list in
the WORLD. Isn't that neat and clean?
And both are shorter than the Wichita
county tax list. In fact we were just
thinking Of Dragging about our short tax
list. and the good showing it makes for
the county, but Trego beats us.-SAaron

Celebrated Their Fifty-Seventh
Wedding Anniversary.
Communicated.

Communicated.
A very enjoyable time was spent at d.
J. Wilson's lower ranch in Glencoe last
Friday, Aug. IA, it being the fifty.seventh
wedding anniversary Of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. e. d. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson is
seventy-seve years old and his wife just
one year younger.
They were married in DeKalb, st. Law
county, New York, where they resided
until about sixteen years ago. For the
last fourteen years they have been resi-
dents of Trego county, Kansas.
They were the parents of seven children
five of whom are now living.
Mrs. E. NJ. ellison, of DeKalb N. Y, and
Mrs. j. W. Rogers, of Marysville, Kansas,
were unable to be present. The remain
ing three reside near Ellis and were all
present. They are Mrs. Geo. A. Palmer,
Mrs. G. w. Staplin and d. j. Wilson.
Four generations were present.
The presents were nice and appropriate.
After partaking of an excellent dinner,
the day was spent in croquet and other
games by the young people and pleasant
conversation by the older ones.
In parting, all expressed themselves as
having had pleasant time and hopeful
of meeting again one year hence.

A Bachelor of Maine.

Hezekiah BEETLE was bachelor of Maine
But one morning he departed by very
early train.
"For fuel is SO costly" said the frugal,
Hezekiah,
"I'm forced to find dwelling place where
need not pay for fire."
He took Decline southwark till to Mexi-
co he came.
He found there volcano with most &C.
centric name.
And he built him there cottage, did this
Hezekiah BEETLE,
He built it near the summit Of Mount
Popocatapetl.
Whenever be desired to cook a mutton
chop
He'd hang it by lengthy string right ov-
er from the top.
From the top of volcano he would hang
it by a string,
And there until twas nicely cooked he'd
let his dinner swing.
To get his boiling water he would lower
down kettle,
Right down into the crater of Mount Pop
ocatatapetl;
From the ashes Of the mountain he would
light his meerschaum pipe,
And be felt as truly happy as a jolly little
snipe.
But one evening, as it happened. there
came past grizzly bear,
And he was much astOnished to see Hez-
ekiah there;
So he tapped him on the shoulder, this
poor Hezekiah BEETLE,
Who straiRhtway did fall over into Popo
catapetl 81 Nickaias.

Teachers Social.

The social last Tuesday evening at the
school house was one Of the most thor
oughly enjoyable that we have ever at
tended, and before proceeding further we
wish to digress long enough to compli-
ment the program committee on the good
judgment displayed in arranging for an
entertainment of just the proper length
The attendance was good and all were
delighted.
The exercises were opened with song
by the male quartet, Messrs. Metz, Hoar,
Damn and Cosby. "Fairy Moonlight
captivated the audience and was one OF
the quartet's choicest selections and the
rendition was as nearly perfect as pos
sible. Their songs were all good and were
all highly appreciated.
Miss Dana gave humorous recitation.
sour Guide" which was well rendered.
Portions of it could not have been excel
led and all was much better than ordi-
nary.
A song "Drlfting Away" by Misses
Carrie and Josephine Sweet was very
good.
W. 81. Swiggett gave humorous read
ing, "Going to Picnic" which created
considerable amusement.
s'The Inventors Wife" was the subject
of recitation by Miss Grace Osborn.
Miss Grace has improved very much
since we last heard her and she certainly
did well. Her gestures were easy and
graceful, and her articulation distinct.
Her effort was received with much ap-
plause showing that it was appreciated.
Luther Countryman next entertained
the audience with temperance song.
There wasn't any very high notes in it
and he retained perfect composure
The recitation by Mrs. E. D. Carson
was exceptionally good. Mrs. Carson is
one of the best elocutionists in western
Kansas and has had much practice in
that direction.
When the exercises were concluded the
meeting resolved itself into a committee
with the purpose of having social time.
This feature was participated in by all
without any restraint or environment of
any kind and, judging from appearances,
all had good time. The remark may |
not be entirely original but we feel con-
strained to remark that if there is any,
hing better than a teaches social it is two
" the same kind.

We don't wish to = be considered
captious or fault finding in this connection
for we believe that good work has beer
done at our Institute. We will say in ad,
vance of the asking that we don't believe
measured by results. that Trego county
ever held better one. At the same time
we believe that if little more attention
had been given to the social features
which are properly associated with meet
ings OF this kind, no time would have
been lost thereby. A few more Lectures
and a few more socials would have been
educational in their tendency and would
have tended to relieve the monotony of
GLASS exercises and hard study. 'All
work and no play makes Jack duh boy"
is an ancient and homeiy maxim, but
there is an undercurrent of strong
pommon sense in it and it is just as appli-
pehle to-day as Il was q century ago.

We have used considerable space
this week with matters pertaining to the
Institute and for which we need make no
apology. Like Christmas and the Fourth
of July the Institute only occurs once
each year, and its Importance can hardly
be over-estimated. Our free school sys-
tenn is the pride and boast of every Amer
lean citizen-and justly, too, and the very
foundation of its success must lie in the
efficiency of our teachers. It is a duty
which we owe to our children and to So
ciety to take an interest in all matters
pertaining to education, and to encour-
age in every possible manner all efforts
for the advancement of our teachers.
We think the present Institute has been
very successful and that our teachers
will all be better equipped for doing good
work than before. We hope they have
all had pleasant time and that they will
look forward to the next Institute with
pleasurable apticipations.
